Chapter One Hundred and Six: Neptune Scorpion
Tang Anshu raised his eyes and looked up, vaguely noticed that something was wrong, immediately jumped on the broken mast, raised his head to look up, and then jumped down again, came to the side of the boat, dipped the water on the side of the boat with a wooden stick, tasted it with the tip of his tongue, and then spit it out: "We should sail out of the underground lake cave where we were before." ”
Benzoin wondered: "So fast?" ”
"The water has taken on a salty taste." Tang Anshu dipped a stick in it and tasted it again, and confirmed, "It's just that it's not as salty as the seawater, which means that this should be the confluence of the underground lake and the ocean." ”
"There's definitely wind at the interchange." Gu Feng put his finger in his mouth, then took it out and lifted it, felt it for a while, and said, "Sure enough, there is wind, it is a cool breeze." ”
Benzoin spun around: "The smoke is lighter than before, but I still can't see it clearly." ”
After Wang Qingyun handed over the rudder to Li Zhao, he leaned over to the side of the ship to look at it for a while, and then raised his head and said, "Sir! The speed of the current has increased, and the boat is now at least five times faster than before! ”
As soon as Wang Qingyun finished speaking, the hull of the ship hit the cave wall on the left side, Li Zhaonian didn't stand firm, flew out directly, and after falling on the deck and rolling twice, he was grabbed by Tang Anshu with his hand.
After Li Zhaonian thanked him briefly, he was about to return to take the helm, but who knew that the hull of the ship hit the right side laterally and hit the cave wall on the right side, and the violent vibration caused by the collision caused everyone to fall directly.
"Find something to fix yourself!" Gu Feng shouted loudly, "Wang Qingyun, hurry up and give me back to the helm, hurry up!" ”
When Wang Qingyun climbed back to take the helm, Tang Anshu held benzoin with one hand, grabbed the railing next to him with the other, looked left and right, and calculated.
Seeing this, Benzoin hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "After the sand boat hit the left side just now, it didn't take long for it to hit the right side because of the imbalance, and the interval between the left and right collisions was not long, so I estimate that the sand boat is now driving in an underground sea river, and the width of the sea river should not exceed 30 meters. ”
Gu Feng stumbled, grabbed the facilities on the ship and walked towards Wang Qingyun: "Wang Qingyun! It must be stable. ”
Wang Qingyun shook his head: "Sir! I can't see anything! You can only do your best! ”
The speed of the sand boat is getting faster and faster, the wind is getting stronger and the smoke is gradually decreasing, and everyone does not dare to leave the position where they are standing, firmly grasping the facilities that can fix their bodies, and praying in their hearts to be able to sail away from this turbulent underground sea river, in contrast, everyone would rather go out and face the rough waves of the sea.
Suddenly, the bow of the boat sank downward, and Wang Qingyun shouted loudly when he saw this: "Everyone hold on!" Now it's time for the rapids. ”
Li Zhaonian and Tang Hualong looked at Wang Qingyun with frightened eyes, as if they were both saying: Now it's time for the torrent? So what was the section we just drove through?
As soon as Wang Qingyun finished speaking, a big wave slapped on the bow of the boat, and the force directly made the tail of the flat-headed sand boat warped, coupled with the turbulent water behind it, the hull of the boat was about to be pulled forward.
Wang Qingyun shouted: "Come to me!" ”
Everyone hurriedly ran in the direction of Wang Qingyun, and at the moment when everyone just stood firm around Wang Qingyun, a force crashed into the left side of the hull again, directly hitting the entire sand boat directly towards the right side of the cave wall.
Because the smoke had dissipated, everyone watched as the side of the sand boat got closer and closer to the cave wall on the right.
"Be careful! Bumped in! Wang Qingyun shouted loudly, as soon as he finished shouting, the hull of the ship hit the right side of the cave wall, Gu Feng and Li Zhaonian's hands slipped, and they fell out directly, Tang Hualong and Tang Anshu were fast-eyed, and reached out to grab the two, but as soon as they grasped it, the force crashed into the hull again, although both of them grasped Gu Feng and Li Zhaonian, but the shaking brought by the hull still made them feel that their internal organs were about to be shattered.
But something strange happened, and now the hull of the ship was firmly attached to the right side of the cave wall, and it could not go any further except for the slight shaking caused by the crashing of the waves.
"What's going on?" After Gu Feng got up, he looked up and asked Wang Qingyun, "Why don't you move?" ”
Wang Qingyun shook his head: "Sir, I'll take a look." ”
Tang Anshu hurriedly said: "You take the rudder, I'll go!" ”
Tang Anshu said and Gu Feng supported each other, stepped on the slippery deck, and walked towards the bow of the boat.
The two of them came to the bow of the boat, wiped the water from their eyes, and looked around, only to find that two caves appeared in front of them, the cave on the left was constantly rushing towards this place, while the cave on the right was unusually calm.
"We have to go to the right!" Tang Anshu shouted to Gu Feng, "Do you see, the left side is like an upstream, it seems that the sea water is constantly pouring in due to the direction of the wind or other reasons, and the underground sea river is flowing into the sea through the hole on the right. ”
Gu Feng looked at it for a while and said, "However, if we go in, we won't be able to find Jinling Jian anymore!" ”
When Benzoin heard this, she immediately shouted, "It's important to save your life!" I didn't have my life to find any Jinling Jane! ”
Gu Feng seemed unwilling, but under Tang Anshu's gaze, he had to nod and say, "It's important to save your life!" ”
Tang Anshu looked at the cave wall on the right, pointed there, and said, "Let's find something, hold the boat open, as long as we get the hull of the boat to the middle of the current, we should be able to rush down the river!" Hurry up! ”
Except for Wang Qingyun, the others immediately looked for wood and other things on the boat, but most of the wood they found had already decayed after hundreds of years, and they would break directly when they were propped up on the cave wall.
"Sir! Useless! Li Zhaonian threw away the half of the wood in his hand, picked up the rifle, and propped it on the cave wall, "Copy the guy!" ”
Gu Feng also picked up his flower trap and propped it on the cave wall: "Hold it up with a gun!" Fast! ”
Everyone supported the cave wall with weapons in their hands, and Gu Feng shouted the slogan there: "One, two, three, force!" ”
After everyone pushed the hull of the boat away from the cave wall, the sand boat floated down the river for only a few meters, and because of the current from the left, it directly hit the right, and the hull made the sound of something breaking.
"Move slowly! Move slowly! Again! Tang Anshu shouted, "One, two, three, hard!" ”
After a few times, the hull of the ship was finally pushed into the rushing water in the middle, and at that moment, the whole sand boat was like a giant pushing it at the end, jolting and speeding towards the sea hole on the right.
Everyone firmly grasped the things around them, and only released when the hull of the ship finally stabilized and the current calmed down, and they looked at each other, although they wanted to say something, but their minds were blank.
Wang Qingyun, who was at the helm, took a long breath: "I thought I was dead." ”
Just when everyone was getting up, Benzoin, who looked up and looked forward, found that the sand boat was slowly moving to the left, she looked to the left and right, and exclaimed, "Not good! The boat is back! ”
Benzoin shouted like this, Tang Anshu, who was still panting, immediately held back that breath, looked closely, and found that the right cave that he drove into was actually connected to the left cave, forming a "U" shape, and there were countless holes behind the cave, which were constantly pouring into the wind, and it was also because of this strong wind that the water would pour in from the right cave, and then be washed out from the left cave.
After Wang Qingyun observed for a while, he immediately turned the rudder to the left side, directly stuck the entire sand boat in the bend of the "U" cave, and then used his own flower trap to directly jam the rudder.
"Sir! We have to abandon ship! Wang Qingyun looked around and said, "If we don't abandon the ship, we have to go back again, and repeat the cycle here." ”
Tang Anshu looked down at the left side of the boat: "If you don't abandon the ship, you can't do it, if it goes on like this, the current will directly dismantle the ship." ”
Gu Feng had no idea at this time: "Where can we go if we abandon the ship?" ”
Tang Anshu looked up at those wind caves: "You may be able to escape from those wind caves!" ”
"What is this?" Suddenly, Li Zhaonian next to him shouted.
The crowd followed his point, and found that there was an object the size of a kitten on the deck, which looked like a scorpion, with two huge dark green pincers on either side of its head, and its upturned tail looked like a blooming flower, and a spike slowly protruded from the place of the stamen.
"Neptune Scorpion!" Seeing this, Gu Feng pulled out his long knife and directly cut the thing in half, "This thing is highly poisonous!" ”
The moment the thing was cut in half, it let out a scream like a person, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
Just when everyone was frightened, they heard all kinds of human voices shouting around the hull—
"Tang Anshu!"
"Adjutant Gu!"
"Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang! ”
"Li Zhaonian!"
"Report sir! Report! ”
"Wang Qingyun! Good rudder! ”
From these shouts, everyone heard their own voices, and they couldn't help but take a step back.
When everyone retreated to the right side of the ship, they heard the sound of something crawling there, turned around and looked, and found that the bottom of the ship on the right side was densely crawled with the sea king scorpion called in the ancient wind mouth, and those sounds were made by the sea king scorpion from the back shell.
"What is this?" Tang Anshu raised his hand and shot and killed two Sea King Scorpions that tried to get close to him.
Gu Feng looked up at the wind holes next to him that were just enough to get into people: "Climb up!" Otherwise we're dead! ”
This was not the first time Gu Feng had seen this kind of thing called the Sea King Scorpion, which is why he was so scared.
Although Gu Feng is indeed a warrior, there are always things in this world that make warriors frightened, and the Sea King Scorpion is one of them.
A few years ago, the sea snake had paid a fortune to buy a merchant ship from Hong Kong to Shanghai, and he led his men to lurk in the predetermined waters, waiting for an opportunity to rob them.
However, the sea snake did not wait for the merchant ship within the scheduled time, and the clipper sent out to investigate was also gone, because it was worried that the news would leak and the merchant ship would set up an ambush, so the sea snake had to ask Sun San for help, because even if Sun San was a warlord, he was at least a military, and the merchant ship would not attack rashly.
After Gu Feng received the order, he took the 420 horsepower gunboat that Sun San bought from the Northeast Army, with a speed of only 11 knots, equipped with a small-caliber gun, a curved gun, and 4 heavy machine guns to explore the predetermined sea area.
