Chapter 18: The Smell of Blood
Seeing its flowing movements, I stood by the boat in a daze, and I didn't have time to react at all, and my brain was confused.
It's no exaggeration to say that there were only two words in my head that kept looping.
"Fuck !!"
Hearing my exclamation, Qibao and Kong Baiyang ran over one after another.
"Where's the squirrel??" Shippo asked me.
Seeing that I didn't squeak, I stared at the sea in a daze, and immediately guessed.
"It jumped off?" Shippo looked at me in disbelief, then turned around and looked at the sea: "This rabbit cub is crazy, isn't it??" What are you doing jumping into the sea?? ”
"Chubby jumped into the sea?"
Chen Qiuyan didn't expect this to be the case, so she walked to the side of the boat worried and scared, glanced into the sea, and her expression suddenly became desperate.
"There are so many whirlpools in the sea, how can it swim back, I can't see it, Xiao Shen! It can't be a suicide attempt, right? ”
Do rats kill themselves?
No one will believe this kind of thing, of course, it's not that animals won't commit suicide, but the nature of the rat is not suicide material at all!
made trouble in the pharmacy, let the old man take a beating, and within an hour he could continue to be arrogant without skin and face, that kind of heartless and heartless temperament is stronger than Qibao.
With this kind of virtue, can it commit suicide?
When I was puzzled and about to jump into the sea to find the rat to understand, a hairy head suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
Who else could that be if it's not a rat??
"Fuck you crazy?! Holy shit!! Hurry up and give Lao Tzu back!! I dragged the guardrail with my hand and shouted hoarsely, "I'm not afraid of drowning you when the waves are so big!" ”
The squirrel looked up at us, squeaked twice, slipped out of the water like a fish leaping out of the water, and dived back like a dolphin in the water.
Seeing this scene, I was relieved, but I also regretted it a little, why didn't I think of this?
Are squirrels normal animals? Is it an ordinary injustice?
This beast has become a fine thing over the years, and his instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is better than anyone else's, and he can usually be like that, and he will jump into the sea without being sure?
Obviously impossible!
But to be honest, I'm still quite wondering, what is this little beast doing jumping into the sea when he has nothing to do? Jumping and playing?
You can't just feel that the sun is too big and want to cool yourself down, right?
And it's not hot right now
"Hurry up! Don't swim! Go back and I'll find the pool for you to swim in! I urged impatiently, waving at it vigorously.
The rat didn't pay attention, to be precise, after the rat dived into the water for the second time, it didn't show its head again.
"What's going on?"
Qibao came over a little worriedly, looked at the sea with a worried face, and kept looking for the figure of the squirrel: "The fat mouse won't let the waves go down, right?" Can't you get up? ”
"Probably not." I replied with a frown.
At this moment, the motor boat shuddered violently again, or lifted it up!
The strange feeling was different from the previous tremor, it was not like something hitting the bottom of the ship, but the entire bottom of the ship was lifted up by an unknown force, and then fell back again.
"What's wrong again??"
Situ asked loudly in the cabin, probably he also noticed that there was something wrong with the tremor, so he hurriedly asked me.
"I don't know, it looks like I've been hit again!" Shippo replied.
"It's not like being hit," Situ was a little puzzled.
Before he could finish speaking, the motor boat slammed down half a meter again, and the cold sinking scared us a lot.
Really, it felt like something was grabbing the whole ship and pulling it down, and there was even a brief feeling of weightlessness.
After a while, the motor boat floated again and returned to its original state.
But it was not over, and less than two seconds later, the motor boat sank again, and then floated again
After floating back and forth a dozen times, we calmed down.
"It doesn't seem to be dangerous, it's much stronger than just now!" Situ said loudly: "I'm accelerating now and continuing to drive!" Watch out there! ”
At this time, the motor boat was only 100 meters away from the fog that enveloped the island.
Chen Qiuyan was driven back to the cabin by me, and there were only three people standing on the deck, Qibao and Kong Baiyang.
Strange to say, the closer we got to the fog, the less whirlpools appeared on the surface of the sea, until finally, we were completely free from the threat of the whirlpool, and rode all the way into the white mist.
Sweltering, humid.
That's what we can feel in that fog.
Compared to the fog, the temperature inside is obviously much higher, and it is particularly humid and stuffy.
In less than half a minute, our clothes were soaked, all wet with our own sweat.
In this fog, visibility is already at its limit.
Shippo was standing two meters away from me, and at such a close distance, I couldn't see him at all.
"Holy shit, this fog is too thick, isn't it?" Qibao scolded and said, "I can't see you standing by, how the hell is this boat!" ”
"Don't worry! I have a compass! Just follow the directions! Situ shouted.
"Aren't you afraid of running aground?" Kong Baiyang asked cautiously.
"Then there's no way, give it a go, I'll drive slowly, you stand at the bow of the boat and help me see, and if the situation is wrong, shout!"
Hearing this, we didn't say much, but first we got together and made sure that we could see each other's positions, and then we walked to the bow of the boat in unison.
Looking at the white fog in front of me, I had an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if I had seen such a thick fog somewhere, but after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't remember anything.
"Those whirlpools didn't follow, so it looks like we should be safe." Shippo laughed.
"We're safe, where's Chubby?" I sighed, my heart had always been carrying, if it weren't for Qibao always dragging me before, I'm afraid I would have jumped into the sea to find the fat mouse.
At this time, Kong Baiyang patted me on the shoulder and said very calmly: "Don't worry, that mouse is fine, it's living well, and there is no problem at all." ”
"How do you know?" I was stunned.
"I opened my eyes and could see the breath." Kong Baiyang said: "The evil qi on the rat's body is very heavy, even if it jumps into the sea, as long as it does not dive too deep, the yin qi of the sea water will not cover its evil qi." ”
"Can you see it?? Where is it?? I asked busily.
"Bottom of the boat." Kong Baiyang said: "The second time I dived, I moved to the center of the bottom of the boat, and I haven't moved until now, we can break through that whirlpool, I'm afraid it's also helping." ”
Hearing Kong Baiyang's words, my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, but I still couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, the rat is a rat and not a fish, will it suffocate it if it doesn't breathe for most of the day?
"Old Shen, I feel a little wrong"
Qibao said coldly, the vigilance in his tone could be heard by anyone.
"What's wrong?" I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't recover from the rat incident: "What do you feel wrong?" ”
"Something is watching us." Shippo said, raising the muzzle of the gun slightly, aiming it at the sea directly in front of him, his finger already on the trigger.
Before I could figure out what was going on, Kong Baiyang seemed to sense something, and without warning, he raised the giant bow and put a black arrow on his right hand.
"There really is something." Kong Baiyang said in a low voice.
"Where?" I scratched my head and leaned forward to see better, but the fog was so dense that I couldn't see the surface of the sea
At that moment, only a gunshot was heard, and Shippo was on fire.
"Did you really shoot??" I was a little worried: "It can't be Chubby watching us from below, right??" ”
"Its location hasn't moved, and you haven't smelled it?"
Kong Baiyang wrinkled his nose, took a breath, and said.
"The smell of blood."
With this answer, I didn't ask any more questions and took a hard breath.
As Kong Baiyang said, there is indeed a smell of blood in the air, and this smell is getting closer and closer to us
"The rat has a bad qi to protect its body, and it is invulnerable to knives and guns, and ordinary bullets can't hurt it."
Shippo said, taking a step forward and firing three more shots at sea.
And with it.
The smell of blood is also getting stronger.
