Cheng Ying smiled lightly, "That's it, it's definitely not this Qing'er." From her description, five or six years ago, her brother was about to marry one of her sisters. That's why she rejected me in the first place. ”

Ding Qin still didn't dare to make up his mind, "But what if that person is the sister she said? How can I really think that there is a person who is inseparable from me at that time." But, who is that?"

"It can't be you. Cheng Ying said with great certainty, "Do you know how to control fire? For such a long time, your fighting style has basically been based on water. And in her description, the man was extremely proficient in fire control. ”

"Really?" Ding Qin's eyes were a little disappointed, "Then probably, she really recognized the wrong person." ”

The two men didn't say anything more. Ding Qin began to habitually patrol around the camp, and also paid special attention to whether he could find the so-called weasel rabbit.

In this way, a week passed. Qing'er's injuries have recovered very quickly, and there is no major problem in her activities now. And in the camp, a large ship is also beginning to see the outline.

In Song Renqing's team, there are two people who are good at shipbuilding. They drew together, selected materials, and then mobilized everyone to assemble, and the progress was extremely fast.

The entire ship is about twenty meters long, four meters wide and more than three meters high, and is divided into three decks. In the bottom of the airtight compartment, it is divided into sixteen small compartments, so that even if one or several places are damaged, the whole ship will not be moved. The boat is planned to be driven by both human and wind power, and in some places, it is also specially equipped with weapons that can be used by everyone.

As soon as Qing'er saw the unfinished ship, she exclaimed, saying that she liked sailing the most. In this way, it also made Ding Qin and others feel that it is possible that the place where Qing'er originally lived was the island in the middle of the lake.

After another ten days, the ship was assembled. After two days of launching the water test, after confirming that there was no water leakage, everyone boarded the boat. Just in time for the beautiful weather, under the blowing of the wind, the big boat slowly moved towards the center of the lake.

There is still a layer of mist ahead, covering the direction of the center of the lake, and it is difficult to see.

Although Ding Qin was calm in his heart, he also had a lot of worries. Every time he sets out into an unknown territory, he feels this way.

Qing'er was quite excited. She ran straight to the ship's observation deck, looking left and right from time to time.

"At the current rate, if the wind doesn't change, we can travel at least fifty miles a day. No matter how big this lake is, it is estimated that it will take us five or six days to reach the center of the lake. Song Renqing walked up to the deck and said to Ding Qin, who was looking into the distance and pondering.

Ding Qin nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he only felt that the whole ship shook suddenly.

The expressions of the two men immediately became serious, and they all looked at the observation deck. There, in addition to Qing'er, there is also a person who is good at sailing.

When they came out, they tried the depth of the water, and the whole lake was enough for the ship to sail smoothly. And a situation like a sudden encounter with a reef or something, it is unlikely, and they, the person who guides the way, have been paying attention to these things.

As for the shattering of the hull, it is even more unlikely. Ding Qin is confident in the sturdiness of this ship.

Then, there is only one possibility. Under attack.

It could be a person, or it could be some creature in the lake.

At this moment, the ship shook significantly. Many people in the cabin also went to the deck and asked Ding Qin, "Captain, what's the situation?"

Ding Qin just shook his head and didn't say anything. He walked to the edge of the deck and took a closer look at the lake around him.

The speed of the ship did not slow down, and there were no anomalies around. The people on the observation deck also came to the news at this time, and there was no anomaly in the hydrology.

But at this moment, another tremor came, and it seemed to be bigger than before.

Ding Qin was about to organize people to go on the defensive, but Qing'er suddenly said loudly, "Hurry to the front and prepare for battle." ”

Since the last Spirit Claw Tiger incident, Ding Qin has been completely convinced of Qing'er's animal reconnaissance ability. He directly commanded everyone, "Assemble forward." If I don't correct it, I'll listen to Qing'er's command. ”

After arriving at the location, he immediately asked Qing'er, "What's the situation?"

Qing'er looked serious, pointed to a position in front of her, and said two words, "There." ”

As the ship moved, the direction her hand was pointing in a different direction, and it was getting closer to the hull. When it basically coincided with the clipper, the hull shook again.

"What is this?" Ding Qin knew that there must be something underwater, "tell us quickly!"

"Drunken Soul Snake. Qing'er didn't have any expression, "When you encounter it, there is no way to avoid it, only to kill it." She bit her lip and suddenly pointed forward again. "There!"

"Do it!" Ding Qin gave an order, and nearly half of the people had already made a move. Including himself, a water-free blade shot directly in the direction pointed by Qing'er, and crashed into the water.

The otherwise calm water suddenly churned, and a sharp sound came from below.

This scream is indeed the cry of a beast!

Looking at the surface of the water behind the attack, with the churning splash, there was also a flush of red, like the color of blood melting into the water.

Qing'er was able to pinpoint the location of the underwater beast accurately!

Everyone looked shocked and looked at Qing'er in unison.

Qing'er's face was full of concentration, and her words were a little cold. She calmly stared at the water. "Don't look at me, it's not gone, it's still there. And keep fighting. This thing is not so easy to die, and it will not run away before it dies. ”

Ding Qin listened while observing the surrounding water. He also had a vague feeling that something wasn't right, but he couldn't figure out where to attack in the water.

Suddenly, Qing'er's hand moved to the right front of the boat, "There!"

More than a dozen attacks instantly entered the water.

The surface of the water was again lifted several meters high. Under the churning waves, the scream just now began again, and then a large area of red began to spread.

Qing'er did not have the slightest sense of pride on her face, but was even more dignified. Including Ding Qin, others felt both incredible and convinced of Qing'er in their hearts.

In this case, she is the only one who can lead people to attack!

Qing'er looked around, and lightly pointed to a guardrail on the side with her hand, as if she was counting, "In the attack where I counted to ten, there." One, two, three, four......"

The direction she was pointing in was the side behind the ship. Ding Qin also stopped adding orders and turned around with the others.

It was eerily quiet on board. Everyone held their breath and listened to Qing'er's voice. "Seven, Eight, Nine......"

By the time it was nine, the ship suddenly shook. And when Qing'er counted to ten, all kinds of attacks were fired in unison.

Hit again!

Qing'er didn't have time to be silent and observe this time, and directly commanded, "Take my front as twelve o'clock." In the three-point direction, the water type attack, the six-point direction, the fire type attack, the nine-point direction, the earth type attack, the twelve-point direction, the metallic and physical attack, now!"

The team led by Ding Qin and Song Renqing has already formed a full tacit understanding. Now, although the person in command is not Ding Qin or Song Renqing, it does not affect their actions.

As soon as Qing'er's voice fell, people implemented it in groups.

Bombarded into the water, and after being stirred up on the surface of the water, a huge wave suddenly set off, and the water column rose into the sky, falling like a torrential rain, and fell to the deck of the ship many times.

Although the boat was equipped with a drain, the sudden weight made the whole boat tilt significantly.

When the curtain of water formed in the air subsided, it was discovered that a large snake appeared in the eyes.

Half of his body was in the water, half of his body was standing on the surface of the water, staring at the people on the boat.

The length of this snake protruding from the sea is fifteen or sixteen meters, and the diameter of the snake's body is also about one meter. Its two eyes are the size of a watermelon and glow greenish.

Above the snake's head, there was a dark red cockscomb-like thing, which seemed to have liquid flowing slowly.

Qing'er glanced at it and said, "The Drunken Mind Snake uses physical attacks and fire attacks. Its tail can attack our ship directly from underwater, but because it needs to be charged, it can be effectively avoided as long as we don't stop attacking. It can breathe fire in its mouth, and its temperature is so high that it can boil water near the target. ”

After a pause, she added, "Its weakness is also about a meter below the snake's head, 'seven inches', but since it's very tough there, I don't know if your attack will work." ”

Ding Qin and Song Renqing glanced at each other, and immediately commanded the team to attack with gestures. For a while, all kinds of tricks rushed straight away.

However, just like Ren Qing'er said, this part of the Drunken Soul Snake is extremely tough, even if Ding Qin's water blade hits it, it is difficult to cut through the snakeskin.

And hitting other parts of it, it has no effect. Because Ding Qin saw with his own eyes that the trick of hitting other parts, even if the snake skin was cut, those holes would be restored at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Suddenly, a yellowish-white flame with a slight blue spurt out of the spirit snake's mouth and shot straight into the deck. Ding Qin and Song Renqing both understood, and the two spiritual power blades quickly shot out, meeting and exploding in the air.

Hit by the blast current, the direction of the flame attack changed, and an arc was drawn to the side of the hull.

With a bang, where the flames fell into the water, a large area of water boiled, and the thick water vapor rose instantly.

There is no way to continue fighting like this! Basically, there is no chance of winning.

"Qing'er, is there any other way, if we speed up now, can we escape?" Ding Qin asked loudly.

Qing'er shook her head, "It's impossible to escape! The speed of the Drunken Soul Snake is faster than any boat." And it won't give up on its chosen prey! We can only win it!"

Ding Qin's brows furrowed.

How is this like encountering a 10,000-year-old snow beast and falling into a predicament?!

It was probably this brief conversation that gave the drunken soul snake time to recharge. It suddenly let out a strange roar, and then jerked.

There was a loud bang on the surface of the water, and a snake tail with a barbed tip stabbed out of the water and struck the stern of the ship.

Ding Qin reacted immediately. Three water-leaving blades roared towards the snake's body.
