Chapter 66: The Snakes (3)
Time passed quickly in the process of searching for the hook snake, and Sun Yang and the others only took a short break during lunch and dinner. But the crew could not withstand such a high-intensity continuous battle, they took a short rest in Huangzhou, changed to a speedboat of the same type, and continued to swim up the river, looking for traces of the hook snake.
The new crew may have heard something about them from the crew of the previous speedboat, but people tend to have little acceptance of many things that are beyond their understanding. Sun Yang felt that curiosity and suspicion were far removed from awe in their attitude towards them.
However, this mood soon changed completely after the second encounter with the Hook Snake on the river, and when they witnessed Huang Dou's demon-like combat prowess, they quickly became obedient.
Before reaching the mouth of the Three Towns, they once again discovered a magic circle and searched for nine eggshells. Long Qingting and Bai Qi also found a magic circle and ten eggshells. This means that they have to face at least thirty-one hooked snakes.
At this time, there were seven hook snakes killed by shore defense artillery fire, nine by Long Qingting, five killed by Huang Dou, and ten hook snakes missing.
The attacks are still coming, but in Sun Yang's heart, the most important thing is no longer the monster in front of him, but Qiu Niang, who is about to occupy Lu Xiaoling's body.
"It's going to be fine." Approaching midnight, he said softly to Lu Xiaoling.
Lu Xiaoling shook her head helplessly, and after a few minutes, her demeanor suddenly changed, and Qiu Niang occupied her body.
"I hope you don't show anything out of the ordinary." Sun Yang whispered to Qiu Niang about the current situation.
Long Qingting didn't tell anyone else about her possession of Lu Xiaoling in a big way, this news was only known to a few people in the far mountains. Qiu Niang had killed many people in the Special Case Administration Bureau when she was in Luoyi, and the escape of the Ghost King of Bishan also had a close connection with her, and Sun Yang was very worried that after her identity was exposed, the headquarters of the Special Case Administration would take Lu Xiaoling away desperately.
"Are you worried about my safety?" Qiu Niang smiled slightly. "Okay, whether you do this for Lu Xiaoling or for me, I have received this love."
"The hook snakes that Huang Dou killed before have been recovered, and there is no way to hand them over to you, but there are still at least ten hook snakes missing. We'll keep our promises, but make sure you hide your identity until then. ”
"Are you doubting my acting skills?" Qiu Niang laughed. "Don't forget, aside from fire-based spells, I'm best at illusions."
Last night's coldness seemed to have passed, and unconsciously, Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"It's going to be Jiazhou soon, three, do you need to rest?" The captain cautiously came over at this time and asked.
It had been more than ten hours since the search mission began at ten o'clock in the morning, and the command began to worry about whether their physical strength and concentration would be affected.
"What's going on with Director Long?" Huang Dou asked.
"They're still searching."
"Then let's move on."
"Yes......"
Sun Yang and Qiu Niang walked to the side side, and the crew consciously walked away, leaving them space. But Sun Yang felt that it might also be because they were afraid of the ghost pawns who appeared from time to time.
"These things...... I miss it very much~" Qiu Niang said suddenly. She reached out and let the ghostly aura of the pawn's body pass through her fingers.
Sun Yang immediately remembered the dream he had had, the person in the dream. The protagonists in the dreams are always those two people, Qin Zongquan and Zhao Qiuniang, he doesn't know why these dreams have been pestering him, but he suddenly wants to know at this time whether those things have ever happened.
"Don't you hate us?" He asked suddenly.
"Hate you?" Qiu Niang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and laughed softly. "What is there to hate? His hands and I are covered in blood, and we will continue to kill as long as we live. Well, we are besieged, we are destroyed, it is a matter of course. When there is hope, of course, we must fight as hard as we can, and seek survival in death. But now that the results have been seen, what is there to hate? ”
Sun Yang didn't know what to say.
"What's more, it may not be over yet."
Sun Yang wanted to ask her what that meant, but at this moment, the ghost pawn farthest away from the speedboat suddenly issued a warning.
"Huang Dou!" Sun Yang shouted loudly.
Chaos began to start in the cockpit again, although people already knew Huang Dou's combat power, but those things were too huge, and if they didn't make evasive moves in time, the speedboat was likely to be capsized by the huge waves caused by the battle.
Huang Dou stood on the side side, waiting for the best time to attack, and Sun Yang drove the other ghost pawns to delay the action of hooking the snake. But their bodies were too large for the little ghost pawns to inflict substantial damage on them.
"Five targets found!" The sonar man almost screamed in the cockpit.
Huang Dou is indeed strong, but can he deal with so many targets at the same time?
A huge wave rolled over, Huang Dou's figure suddenly disappeared, Sun Yang's spirit was all poured into the dense fog that began to be chaotic in front of him, and after a while, he was stunned to find that Qiu Niang was also gone!
Damn it!
Didn't you tell her not to mess around!
He looked at the crew around him, but they didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, as if Lu Xiaoling was still by his side.
The battle in the dense fog lasted for more than ten minutes, and Sun Yang could faintly feel Huang Dou's figure through the ghost pawn, he was standing on the corpse of a hook snake, surrounded by four hook snakes that had died, and Qiu Niang had been fighting with the remaining hook snake.
Sun Yang's heart suddenly lifted, but in the end, the wind and waves finally subsided, and Huang Dou and Qiu Niang returned to the speedboat one after another.
"This body is too weak." Qiu Niang said in a low voice.
Her face was lazy and satisfied after eating, while Huang Dou's face was indifferent.
"How are you going to end up?" He suddenly asked Qiu Niang.
"What?"
"That hooked snake was sucked into a dried corpse by you, don't you think no one will suspect it?"
Qiu Niang was stunned for a moment, then disappeared again, and a few minutes later, a scorching flame suddenly burned in the thick fog.
"What's going on?" The crew was surprised. A strange fire broke out on the surface of the river, spreading for hundreds of meters, and the scorching temperature could be felt even a few dozen meters away from the center of the flames.
This made it impossible for the speedboat to get closer.
"Two?" Huang Dou asked.
"It's too much for a flame to consume on such a large scale." Qiu Niang didn't know when she returned to Sun Yang's side. "I'll have to make it up." She said nonchalantly.
