Late at night, December 5, 1917.

The Peruvian cargo ship was named Francisco Pizarro, literally translated as "Francisco Pizarro", and was named after the greatest and most despicable Spanish conquistador, who captured the Inca Emperor in 1532, plundered the richest gold and silver treasures ever seen, destroyed a vast empire, and created a new country called Peru.

In the lower cabin of the "Francisco Pizarro", Qi Yuanshan had been asleep for two days and two nights.

He dreamed of the spring of the previous year, the moment he first saw it on Taihang Mountain, the wild wolf valley in the cold spring, and the wolf blood emitted hot steam, highlighting Qin Beiyang's sixteen-year-old face......

Suddenly, the hull of the ship made a loud noise, like the screams of a hundred-year-old witch, hoarse and then shrill and deafening. Qi Yuanshan woke up from a dream, the ship was shaking violently, and it seemed to be firmly stuck by something. Outside the porthole, the moon was no longer in the sky, but the black water, accompanied by countless glittering debris.

There was a leak in the cabin, at first through the crack in the door, and after a few seconds the water was pouring in, mixed with the smell of soot, and soon it was up to his waist.

The ship is about to sink?

The story of the "Titanic" ice sea shipwreck, Qi Yuanshan also saw it from the newspaper. He frantically banged on the locked hatch until the water slammed through the hatch and poured in. After taking his first mouthful of brackish water, he took his breath and burrowed into the corridor, where he found that the inside of the ship had been filled with seawater.

Qi Yuanshan regretted that he had not learned to swim.

He could only walk in the sea by feeling the hallway, and when he was about to suffocate, he found the little bit of air left on the ceiling, and he took a few quick puffs greedily. The steamer's steam engine boiler exploded, and the flames burned violently, and in an instant they were extinguished by the seawater, followed by a louder crash. Could it have sunk to the bottom of the sea? The hull was torn open, and black waters rushed in. He had to bite the bullet and rush out. He couldn't see anything at the bottom of the sea, but he touched a sharp reef next to him, and instantly slashed his arm. He couldn't swim, so he crawled up in the dark along the reef with blood flowing.

Boundless darkness, suddenly there is light.

Qi Yuanshan's eyes widened, and he saw a glowing thing in the seawater, and at first glance he thought it was a sea snake. No, the guy's body was thicker than a dolphin, with golden scales all over his body, and he couldn't see his head until he showed two claws and a dragon's tail.

Underwater dragons?

He saw with his own eyes that the "dragon" was entwined around the torn ship, and there were still some remnants of the burning hull on the surface of the water. The dragon's scales glow and illuminate the broken anchor chains at the bottom of the sea. Qi Yuanshan guessed that it was this underwater monster that destroyed the keel and propeller, causing the ship to lose control and crash into the reef with the waves.

There were constantly crew members escaping from the cracked hull, they were all very good in the water, and they were about to swim to the surface of the sea, but they were bitten by the "dragon" with its mouth open...... He saw the dragon's head, an indescribable monster, which looked a little like the head of a young Qilin Town tomb beast! It also has snow-white antlers and brass bell-like eyes, but it has no red mane, but it has a long and winding body.

Qi Yuanshan was convinced that he was not dreaming, not in the era of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but in the 20th century. The dragon opened its bloody mouth and ate all the Peruvian crew members who escaped in turn. Some had their thighs eaten or their heads bitten off, and the black sea was stained red with blood. The remainder of the human body sank to the bottom of the sea, and the stumps and internal organs floated to the surface.

When the lungs were about to explode, a thick plank floated to the side, which was the last straw. Qi Yuanshan clung to the plank and surfaced out of the sea.

Breathe, breathe deeper, breathe harder.

It's like holding back for half a lifetime. Tears, snot, and cough erupt at the same time. The moon shone overhead, the sea rushed to his mouth, and his tongue was numb with salt. Qi Yuanshan held the big plank and paddled his arms desperately, afraid that the evil dragon at the bottom of the sea would swim over and bite his heel.

A hand appeared on the board.

He almost screamed in fright, and then he saw his head again, and he was clutching on the plank. The moonlight illuminates the young faces, dripping with water.

"Xiaomu!"

The other party nodded, his lips trembling: "Help me!" I want to live. ”

Unexpectedly, they became the survivors of the ship, and the Peruvian crew members were eaten by the evil dragon.

"Damn, can you swim?"

"I will!"

As a result, Xiao Mu became the engine of this plank, and Qi Yuanshan could only paddle to his rhythm.

"Do you see the monsters at the bottom of the sea?"

"That thing?" Xiao Mu nodded, the December sea made him shiver, "Just like a dragon?" ”

There is no need to doubt it, it is not Qi Yuanshan's illusion, that "dragon" really exists.

When the Peruvian steamer sank completely, they saw another steamer in front of them - they couldn't see what it looked like, the silhouette seemed to be larger in the moonlight, and black smoke was spewing from the chimney.

Qi Yuanshan shouted loudly, expecting a ship to find them, and at the same time not to also crash into the reef and sink.

The heat was bubbling above their heads, a sign of the last loss of heat from their veins, a sign that they were about to freeze to death in the cold water.

A light appeared on the sea, and it turned out to be a lifeboat, and someone was paddling closer. Qi Yuanshan and Xiaomu shouted, and the lifeboat stretched the wooden oars towards the survivors on the sea.

Nine dead and alive, they finally climbed into the lifeboat and came up and sneezed a series of times. The visitor seemed to have a lot of experience in rescuing shipwrecks, and immediately helped them take off their clothes, wipe their bodies clean with thick blankets, and then change into crew uniforms, as well as boiling hot water and spirits.

Qi Yuanshan snorted before he could see the other side clearly, a total of three people. The one in his twenties at the head is faintly familiar, as if it is ......

He saw many Japanese kana on the lifeboats, and the crew uniform on his body had four words printed on his chest: Haneda Kisen.

"Taiki Haneda?"

"Nani?" Then comes the Japanese flavor of Mandarin, "Hello, do we know each other?" ”

Qi Yuanshan climbed to the bow of the lifeboat in panic and almost jumped back into the sea. He thought that Haneda Taishu had asked Ouyang Sicong for the town tomb beast, and two days later, there was a tragedy of the destruction of Dharma Mountain on the sea, and he might be an accomplice to the murderer.

"Don't be afraid!" Taiki Haneda was still wearing a suit, and the horse lamp illuminated his thick spectacle lenses, "We are Haneda Steamboat Company, not pirates!" I saw that there was a shipwreck, so I paddled over in a lifeboat to see if there were any survivors. ”

Qi Yuanshan thought that he was a landlubber, and the bottom of the sea seemed to be still shining, and the evil dragon was waiting for supper, so he dispelled the idea of jumping into the sea.

He looked back at the brightly lit ship, and then at the dark island ahead, the lighthouse on the top of the hill swirling light.

"I don't want to go to your ship, please send me to that island."

Haneda said pleasantly, "Okay, I originally wanted to go to the island tonight." ”

"What island is that?"

"Bodhidharma Mountain."

Qi Yuanshan was stunned, Dharma Mountain - Dharma Mountain on the Sea - Ouyang's lair? Is it the island in front of you? And what is this Peruvian cargo ship going to do when it comes to Damour? Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? May the dragon have eaten the assassins!

Behind Haneda Taiki, two strong men rowed their oars and rode the wind and waves towards the island. They talk to each other in Japanese, but each has their own mantras, one is "Asi" and the other is "fuck your mother".

"Don't be surprised, they are rude and my bodyguards, one is North Korean and the other is Taiwanese. There are a lot of reefs in the nearby area, and it will be dangerous for big ships to dock, so we can only let small boats go there. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, do we know each other? ”

Qi Yuanshan's head was about to burst, he couldn't answer this question, and bit Xiao Mu's ear again: "Hey, do you know him?" ”

Xiao Mu shook his head: "I've never seen it." ”

The lifeboat was close to Mt. Dharma, and on the edge of a towering cliff, Haneda Daiki was the first to jump down, stepping through the low tide waves and stepping on the beach covered with black gravel.

Qi Yuanshan and Xiao Mu helped each other to get off the boat, followed by two bodyguards. The smell of island fish wafted through the air.

There were a group of people on the beach again, dragging a small boat and preparing to go to the sea, probably because they saw the ship on fire and sank, and wanted to save people.

"Don't go to the rescue! The last survivors are here. ”

Haneda Taiki reminded them, and the men turned their heads in confusion, each carrying a lantern to illuminate each other's faces.

Qi Yuanshan, who escaped death from the bottom of the sea, squinted and saw a girl first - she had glass-colored eyeballs, Qi bangs that rolled up, and was wearing a long skirt of a Western schoolgirl, isn't this Ouyang Anna?

There is also a man in a long shirt and a scarf, in his thirties, dignified appearance, four eyebrows, and he is Ye Kenan, a famous detective in the capital. Another timid little girl, flashing black eyes, she is Ah You.

"Ahh Ouyang Anna screamed, she recognized Haneda Taiki's face, "Murderer! ”

When they met on a narrow road, Ye Kenan took out his pistol, and the two bodyguards of the Haneda family, the North Koreans and the Taiwanese, also took out their own guns.

"Don't shoot!" Qi Yuanshan shouted, and rushed to the two groups to stop the exchange of fire, "Anna, I'm Yuanshan!" ”

Taiki Haneda also warned the two bodyguards to calm down. Anna stared at Qi Yuanshan's face in surprise, and then saw Xiao Mu.

Just when both sides were confused, a fire broke out on the top of the cliff.
