Chapter 30: Encountering a Surprise Attack
The power of the fire shark ship is very peculiar, it is a huge machine, but it is not propelled by steam, but there are runes engraved with formations, plus some kind of gem, so between sailing, there is no huge sound, it is really as light and fierce as a shark, even if it is against the wind, it is as fast as a galloping horse.
The river is extremely wide, and now the weather is cold, and there are very few boats coming and going, so you are not afraid of hitting other ships when you travel so fast.
The fire shark ship gradually left the capital, at first it was a flat river, looking around, the canal was densely packed with towns, but after driving hundreds of miles, the population gradually became barren, and the plain became hills, thousands of miles later, both sides of the canal were high mountains, the river was also narrower, the water flow was obviously very fast, roaring and roaring, and the fire shark ship was actually a little bumpy.
In the high mountains, the sound of apes crying from time to time can be heard, and under the night, it seems a little desolate and terrifying.
"County Lord, now that it is time to go, and the ship has arrived in Shizhou, shall we find a place to rest on the shore, or continue to move forward? "Someone came to report again, this person's body is straight, like a javelin, piercing the sky, and the martial arts momentum is sharp.
"It's twenty o'clock. Lou Baiyue took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "The emperor's newly promulgated season, you must study hard." When I get back, I'll give you a pocket watch. Don't need to dock, keep going, turn on the moonstone spotlights, and rush overnight. ”
"Lord Xie. The man hurriedly knelt down: "The gun slave obeys." Also, His Royal Highness Gu Nineteen left the room and went to the deck to breathe. ”
"Let's go down. Lou Baiyue put on his clothes and walked to the deck on the top of the big ship.
The deck is very wide, accommodating hundreds of people without crowding, all steel forged, and thick iron railings on all sides to prevent people from falling down when they are bumped.
It's just that the wind is cold, and standing on the deck will blow so much that people can't kick it, and if ordinary people, it may even be blown away.
The ancient dust and sand did not move, and the wind blew his clothes to the sound of hunting, looking at the inky mountains in the distance, and did not know what he was thinking.
"It is rumored that this Shizhou was a mountain stretch for thousands of miles, and it was difficult for apes to cross, and there was no such canal at all. After his father ascended the throne, the thousands of miles of mountains were suddenly split to form this canal, which was gradually widened and became an important waterway. It's a miracle, I can't imagine how much magic it takes. My current strength is at most to move 10,000 catties of boulders. It would have taken 10,000 me hundreds of years to carve out such a huge canal in the mountains. Gu Chensha looked at the cliffs and cliffs around him, as well as the deep rapids and wide river, it was hard to imagine that this was done by man ten years ago.
He had studied geography, and more than a decade ago the map here was a mountain connected to a mountain, with no roads or bridges, let alone a river.
He has never been out of Beijing since he was a child, and now he has come out, and he has been greatly shocked along the way.
"The whole Shizhou can be described as a poor mountain and bad water, all dynasties are hidden dangers, in the mountains, countless cults, bandits, rivers and lakes characters are entrenched in it, and the army cannot be encircled and suppressed at all. Only Tianfu this dynasty, the emperor with the supreme law, move the mountains to the mountains, the land into the river, so that the situation in Shizhou has greatly improved, in the past to go to the border, you must bypass Shizhou, so that the army has to go thousands of miles more, as for other benefits, it is too many to count. Lou Baiyue also went to the deck, the sky gradually darkened, the surrounding mountains were layered, like a huge demon god looking down on the river, coupled with the night wind was bitter and cold, the ape cried endlessly, and the terrifying artistic conception was pressing.
Gu Chensha felt very fresh, compared to the scenery of the capital, he observed the mountains and rivers, and seemed to have a deeper understanding of martial arts.
It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.
Swish!
As he spoke, he shot out of the boat and spread out, illuminating the river white, and he was no longer afraid of hitting a cliff or something in the dark.
This is the moonstone spotlight, and it is also a thing of the Tiangong Academy.
At this moment, suddenly the night birds on both sides of the mountains flew up one after another, and countless apes let out frightened chirps and fled in the mountains and forests, as if something terrible had happened.
On the surface of the river illuminated by the moonstone spotlight, a black shadow appeared floating and jumping in the water, quickly approaching the fire shark ship.
"Enemy attack!" The master on the cabin also noticed that something was wrong, and the alarm bell rang for a long time, and the master of the whole ship started to move in an orderly manner.
"I don't know what is alive or dead. Lou Baiyue had expected it a long time ago, and his face was like frost.
"Who are these people? so bold, dare to attack the official ship of the Qin Mission?" Gu Chensha's eyes were sharp, looking at the black shadow on the river, it was a mysterious person wearing a black fish skin and water, who had just emerged, and then sank to the bottom of the water, and then had reached the bottom of the fire shark ship.
The river is surging with torrents, and there are even undercurrent whirlpools at the bottom, so that even fish, let alone people, will be exhausted. If you fall into the water here, you basically can't survive, and these people can actually swim between them, either they are talented or strong. Or both.
Whoosh!
These people approached the big boat in the water, and actually climbed onto the boat like geckos, with agility and a cold and terrifying temperament.
The Fire Shark was smooth and slippery around the ship, and there were no objects to climb, but the men were equipped with suction cups in their palms and jumped up with ease.
"These are barbarians, and they are dressed in black dragon fish skin, which is tough enough to withstand knives and guns, and has the ability to increase speed and keep warm and waterproof in the water. Lou Baiyue's eyes were contemptuous: "It should have come to me, that day in the Nanshan Hunting Ground, dozens of barbarians sacrificed, hooked the spirit of the barbarian evil god, and changed into a demon, but I killed it, which in the eyes of the barbarians, has blasphemed the gods." The evil god also sensed that he must have sent down oracles in the temples of the barbarians, and whoever could kill me and sacrifice me would receive the supreme reward of the evil god. In addition, I myself have obtained the true meaning of the 'void' of the ancient Son of Heaven, which is itself a powerful sacrifice. If you catch me and sacrifice me, I can't imagine how much you get, do you regret getting on my ship?"
"These barbarians are humanoid and beastly, and they can't be influenced by them, so they can only kill and stop killing. After they capture people, the first thing they do is to kill and sacrifice them, and then eat meat, and I also want to practice my martial arts and enhance my experience, and it is better if there are barbarians attacking. As Gu Chensha spoke, he saw several black shadows leap onto the deck and swoop down as beasts.
Snort
Black lines as thin as mosquito whiskers flickered in front of you.
"Damn, armor-piercing mosquito needles!" Lou Baiyue waved his big sleeves, and all those black lines were involved in it. But then black smoke came out of her sleeve, and it was actually corroded by poison.
"Armor-piercing mosquito whisker needles!" Gu Chensha was also clever and dodged with all his might, and those mosquito whisker needles shot onto the deck, and the steel came out with a pungent smell, not to mention flesh and blood.
The armor-piercing mosquito whisker needle is an extremely vicious hidden weapon, installed in the iron pipe machinery, sprayed out, can hit the enemy within a hundred steps in the blink of an eye, even the armor can not resist, there is a corrosive poison on it, a person is slightly contaminated, it will turn into pus and blood. At that time, the most mysterious gate sect on the rivers and lakes was the taboo weapon of the "Skillful Pavilion".
The "Skillful Hands Pavilion" was destroyed by the imperial court, and many valuable craftsmen were subdued and included in the Tiangong Academy for research, but some important people escaped.
These materials were recorded in the royal family, and even the princes had to read them in class.
There are more and more barbarians who sneer and climb onto the deck, and each barbarian master has an armor-breaking mosquito whisker needle in his hand, shooting indiscriminately at the ancient dust and sand of the moon and worshipping the moon downstairs, as long as he hits the upper one, unless he cultivates to the third change of the Dao realm, he will definitely die.
"Die for me!" Lou Baiyue's speed surged, and the naked eye could not catch her movement, and the armor-piercing mosquito needle could not shoot her at all.
Bang bang bang!
Her big sleeves were rolled up again, and three or five barbarian masters were smashed to pieces, fell into the water, and were swept away by the torrent in a blink of an eye, and died in the belly of the fish.
Gu Chensha also knew that this was the real actual battle, although hunting in Nanshan and fighting with the barbarian generals were also thrilling, but the whole process was accompanied by the royal master, if he really encountered danger, the master would not watch the prince be injured and killed. But now it's different, if you get a mosquito needle, you will die and have no place to be buried.
This thrill made his blood boil.
Giant spirit magic, moving mountains, turning rivers, and pouring seas.
The three styles were played without thinking, the wind howled in the deck mountain, and the air flow became a whirlpool, making people unstable, he approached the barbarian master, his long arm poked out, grabbed the opposite side of the face, and used his five fingers to dig inward.
Bang!
The barbarian master's head was scratched through like a rotten watermelon.
Gu Chensha suddenly thought: "The barbarian is ferocious, it is the most evil person, the human face is beastly, the merit of the ancient emperor is also to kill the barbarian to sacrifice to the sky, can I try to sacrifice now?"
At that moment, his mind moved, and he communicated with the heaven-sacrificing platform transformed by the heavenly sacrifice talisman in the depths of his mind.
Suddenly, under his claws, there seemed to be a sphere composed of barbarian blood and soul being sucked into the blue light space of the Heavenly Sacrifice Platform.
And the barbarian master collapsed with a bang, as if all the life essence had been drained and turned into rotten wood.
Gu Chensha was afraid that Lou would become suspicious afterwards, so he kicked this master violently, and kicked this master down the river.
"Unexpectedly, after the Heaven Sacrifice Edict was transformed into a space altar, there was still this ability. I understand that the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman is the strongest magic weapon in the past and present, how can it only have the ability to sacrifice? After I got it, the reason why I failed to develop the ability in it was because I failed to have the qi of the Son of Heaven. Only the Son of Heaven can nourish this talisman with the breath of the Son of Heaven to make this talisman gradually show its subtlety. "Ancient dust and sand blessing to the soul, already understood.
What the edict of worshipping the heavens needs is the qi of the Son of Heaven.
The qi of the Son of Heaven is the mystical power that makes all beings bow down to you and obey your orders. This force is the rule.
Think about it, even if the emperor who is powerless on the hospital bed, dying, he can make the world bleed and drift, punish the nine clans, and give people wealth and nobility, that is, what is the basis of authority, rules and etiquette, and the authoritative rules and etiquette are conceived to the extreme, and in the dark, the breath of the Son of Heaven is born.
"I take the holy decree to sacrifice, it is always a drop in the bucket, I can't open the real power of the edict of the sacrifice to the sky, only become the emperor, command the world, gather the power of all beings, the breath of the Son of Heaven will be endless. Am I going to seize the throne?" Gu Chensha came up with this thought, and he was startled.
