Chapter 395: Trapped Reefs
"Why is that?" Chang Shengqi said, "Isn't our ship going out?"
"Usually there are only two reasons for this situation," Jiang Lao Turtle said: "First, the sailor sailed from memory and remembered the wrong direction. ā
Lao Lu shook his head and said, "The sailors on the ship are all experienced, even if there is a deviation in the black smoke, it will not deviate so much." ā
Jiang Lao Turtle said: "Then there is only the second reason. ā
He paused and said, "The direction of the ocean current was originally towards the reef group, and we are driving the boat against the reef group, if we can still go back, it can only be that the current is moving faster than the speed of our boat." ā
Lao Lu nodded and said, "No wonder the stern of the ship hit the reef." ā
Chang Sheng frowned and said, "Can't we speed up the ship?"
Jiang Lao Turtle shook his head: "To speed up the boat, you have to be faster than the speed of the ocean current, so that you can sail out of the reef group in the opposite direction." However, if you speed up the boat, you are very likely to hit the reef, and the danger is even greater. ā
Chang Sheng said: "But when we looked at the sea smoke just now, the speed of the ocean current was not so fast, could it be that it suddenly accelerated?"
As he was talking, there was a slight sound of "grab, grab" from under the boat.
Jian Qi exclaimed, "Could it be that I bumped into it again?"
Chang Sheng's face was solemn: "It's not like the sound of a ship hitting a reef, but like a ......."
His voice froze suddenly, picked up a rope from the deck and tied it around his waist, pulled out his waist knife, and said to Lao Lu: "Watch for me!"
Lao Lu seemed to have a very tacit understanding with him, and he didn't ask much, but said, "Be careful!"
Chang Sheng nodded, then grabbed the rope and sank into the water.
Waiting for Chang Sheng to jump into the water, Zhu Yifang asked, "What is Second Brother Chang going to do in the water?"
Lao Lu said in a deep voice: "There are people underwater!"
"Anyone?" Zhu Yi was taken aback.
"Not only are there people, but they are also scuttling boats!" Jiang Lao Turtle said.
As he spoke, the sound of the boat being chiseled under the water came clearly twice, this time more clearly.
It seems that the scuttling of the ship has become more vigorous.
"Our boat is full of holes and scars, although it can barely move after repairing it a few times, it can't stand the toss!" Lao Lu frowned, pulling the end of the rope with one hand, and stepped to the side of the boat in a few steps.
The rest of the people hurriedly followed.
Under the black smoke, there was nothing to be seen from a short distance, and everyone could only see a little water on the side of the boat suddenly fluctuate and whirlpool a few times.
The sound of the chiseling under the water stopped.
Then the bone-douting blood bubbled up from under the water.
Jiang Lao's face tightened: "Will there be something to do with Chang Sheng?"
Lao Lu pulled the rope with his hand, felt that the other end was still tugging hard, and said, "It's okay, it should be Chang Sheng to kill the blood of the underwater people." ā
After a few moments, there was a sudden tremor on the rope.
Lao Lu Mo counted it, three long and two short, and hurriedly handed the rope to Zhu Yi's hand: "You are pulling the rope here, if there is a shaking of two long and three short on the rope for a while, quickly pull us up!"
Zhu Yi took the rope, his hands were trembling with nervousness, and he said continuously: "Okay!"
Lao Lu also pulled a rope from the deck, tied it around his waist, and jumped into the water.
After a while, a string of bubbles rose from the bottom of the water, followed by a large pool of red blood, like a crimson flower blooming on the surface of the water.
At the same time, the rope in Zhu Yi's hand shook violently, and Zhu Yi hurriedly pulled the rope up!
But he felt that the rope was extremely difficult, and he hurriedly said, "Come and help!"
Jian Qi and Ning Wuyu hurriedly rushed up, took a rope from Zhu Yi's hand, grabbed the end of the rope, the two worked together, and the two hands rotated quickly, and in a short time, Lao Lu was pulled from under the water to the surface!
As soon as Lao Lu Fu came out of the water, he shouted: "I pulled it wrong!" cut the rope tied to his waist with a knife, and sank again!
Over there, Zhu Yi shouted: "Come on, why is this rope so sinking, come and help me ......."
The bruises on his face were exposed, and his fat face was flushed.
Jian Qi hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his waist, and dragged him back desperately, but he felt that the force from the rope was huge, as if dragging a giant whale, he suddenly blushed, and said, "Another one!"
Ning Wuyu hurriedly ran up, hugged his waist again, and the three of them shouted: "One, two, three!" They all worked together and fell backwards to the deck, but the huge force on the rope suddenly loosened, and the three of them were caught off guard, like a string of twisted boats falling on the deck one after another.
There was a splash of water on the side of the boat, and Lao Lu dragged Chang Sheng and climbed up from the bottom.
Jiang Lao Turtle threw away the crutches, stepped forward with Mo Guiyun, and dragged the rope a few times before pulling Lao Lu and Chang Sheng up together.
Suddenly, several arrows were shot out on the surface of the water, and the force was extremely fast, and they shot towards them!
Mo Guiyun reacted very quickly, immediately flexed his middle finger, flicked a few bullets in a row, and immediately knocked those arrows away!
Jiang Lao Turtle and Lao Lu pulled Chang Sheng up from the side of the boat.
Chang Sheng was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, which passed through the shoulder blade, and at this time the blood flowed from the shoulder, dyeing half of his body red, and as soon as he reached the deck, he fell softly.
"Hold on!" Lao Lu held the arrow in one hand, raised the waist knife with his right hand, cut it down with a knife, cut off half of the arrow, and then grabbed the arrow with his hand, gritted his teeth and twitched violently, Chang Sheng, who was lying on the ground, let out a heart-rending howl, his whole body trembled violently, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Second brother, hold on a little longer!" Old Lu Dao said, while quickly tearing off a large placket from his body and bandaging Chang Sheng's bleeding, "What did you see underwater?"
Chang Sheng was dizzy in pain and replied, "I saw a merman...... Holding a sea exploration fork in his hand...... As soon as I went down, he stabbed me with a fork...... I got into a fight with him underwater...... When he came close to me...... IāI slashed him in the chest and cut him in half, haha......"
Blood foamed from his mouth, but Chang Sheng swallowed back: "It's ...... At this time, two more mermaids appeared from a distance...... Both of them shot me with fish tendon crossbows...... I was unfortunately hit by an arrow...... Just as they were approaching, fortunately, big brother, you showed up......"
He grinned, and a smile appeared on his bloody face: "Big brother, you always saved me at the most critical moment......"
Lao Lu had already bandaged his wound at this moment, and finally tied a knot: "Okay, it's okay! You lie on the deck now, try to stay awake, don't let yourself fall asleep!"
Get up and leave.
Chang Sheng stopped him: "Old Lu, Brother Lu, where are you going?"
Lao Lu smiled at him: "We are still stuck in the reef group, and the mermaids will attack underwater at any time, so I will go underwater to guard our ship." ā
Then he picked up the rope on the deck, tied it to his waist, and prepared to go to the sea.
Chang Shengqiang stood up and said hurriedly: "You are in danger alone!"
shouted at Zhu Yi: "Third brother, quickly hold the eldest brother!"
Zhu Yi hurriedly rushed up: "Big brother, you can't go down!"
At this time, there was another sound of "grabbing, grabbing" from the bottom of the boat.
Lao Lu was anxious, and pushed Zhu Yi away: "Don't stop me!" turned around and was about to leave.
Zhu Yi rushed forward and hugged Lao Lu's waist tightly: "Big brother, danger!"
He was so heavy that Lao Lu was hugged by him, and he couldn't break free in a hurry, and couldn't help yelling: "Let go of me! If you don't let go of me, this ship will sink!"
While hitting Zhu Yi hard with his elbow.
Zhu Yi's waist and ribs hurt, and he also yelled loudly: "Then I'll go with you!"
Letting go of their hands, the two of them jumped directly into the water from the deck on the second floor with two "poof, poof" sounds.
"Rope!" Jiang Lao Turtle picked up the rope from the ground and limped to the side of the boat, but there was no one on the water.
He looked at the water and sighed.
"It's fine. Ning Wuyu stepped forward and patted Jiang Lao Turtle on the shoulder with his palm: "There are two people, Lao Lu and Zhu Yi, they killed another merman before, those mermen shouldn't dare to get too close." ā
Jiang Lao Turtle turned his head and looked at him: "You come with me." ā
Ning Wuyu was stunned: "What to do?"
Jiang Laojiao said: "Since the current is very fast, and our boat does not dare to go against the grain, then we will drift in with the current." ā
Ning Wuxuan said: "It is a good way to advance instead of retreating." ā
praised it: "The old turtle really deserves to be the old captain, he can still stay calm at this time and make a decision immediately!"
Jiang Lao Turtle said with a calm face: "Don't you praise me, don't you have a 'heavenly eye power'? First help me watch from the bow of the boat, don't let the boat hit the reef, especially the reef under the water!"
Ning Wuyu smiled bitterly and said: "I can't cultivate this 'Tianyantong' at home, and it is also a time when it is not effective, if I can use it, wouldn't I have used it just now?"
Jiang Lao Turtle said: "It's better than nothing!"
Ning Wuyu had no choice but to follow him to the bow of the boat, and when he passed by Bai Qianyu and the little fox in her arms, he twisted it on the little fox's furry ears.
The little fox immediately bared his teeth and spat at him.
Ning Wuyu hooked his finger at it: "Aren't you going to spit fire?" Come, come with me!"
The little fox was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Bai Qianyu.
Bai Qianyu said: "Go ahead!"
The little fox got the owner's consent, and immediately jumped down from Bai Qianyu's arm, jumping up and down behind Ning Wuyu.
The two walked to the side of the boat, Ning Wuyu rubbed his palms hard, put his right hand on the forehead of his index finger, and shouted: "Open!"
A glimmer of eyes faintly appeared on his forehead, and the golden light slowly opened.
Ning Wuyu patted the side of the ship with his hand, and the little fox immediately jumped from the deck to the side of the ship.
Ning Wuyu said: "From now on, you only need to spit fire from the black smoke in front of you every three moments, disperse the black smoke a little, and use the fire light along the way, so that I can see the road ahead." ā
The little fox answered, arched his body, and a fluffy tail stood up high, and suddenly with a "pounce", a flame seven or eight feet long sprayed forward!
The ghost spiritual fire of the Antares Fox was really powerful, and as soon as that spiritual fire came out, the black smoke was immediately washed away, faintly revealing the reef in front of it.
Ning Wuyu immediately looked forward with all his eyes!
