Chapter 105: Encountering Water Bandits
The five of them all got on the boat, and Ren Yao smiled at the boatman kindly, and said, "Uncle, let's drive the boat, we are going to Tiandu." ”
"Hmm. The boatman was now at the stern of the boat, and he did not look back, but began to row with a sigh of hum.
The anchor was retracted, the rope of the bolt was untied, and the boat broke through the waves and began to move slowly.
Since the boat ride to Tiandu is all the way down the river, the boatman does not need to paddle hard at all, and only needs to adjust the direction of the oars and rudder slightly to keep moving fast.
Sitting on the boat, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the surging river, and his mind was calm. And Feng Shenyu, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, kept glancing at him, and there was a lot of resentment in his eyes. Obviously, the lesson just now has not made Feng Shenyu eat a trench and grow wise, in Ren Xiaoyao's words, that is, the dog can't change eating.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't bother to pay attention to Feng Shenyu, and after a while, he closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.
Seeing this, Feng Shenyu stopped glancing at him, and instead chatted with Huo Wu: "Hehe, Your Royal Highness Princess, it's such an honor to be able to cross the boat with you." ”
"What's the honor?" it can be seen that Huo Wu also hates this Fengshen prince, and said a little impatiently.
Feng Shenyu didn't have any consciousness, and continued to set up: "Do you think, princess, there is a good saying, it is called 'a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat', and now you and I are crossing in the same boat, it is the fate of a hundred years to cultivate!"
Hearing this, the first person to respond was Ah Sheng, who pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "Hey, you say so, I also have a fate with you, a pustule that has been cultivated for a hundred years?
"Hmph. Feng Shenyu snorted, ignored Ah Sheng, and continued to turn his head to look at Huo Wu.
And the whole time, Fire Dance didn't answer. When she heard "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat", a scene kept coming to her mind: in the Red Flame Forest, in the narrow rock crevice, she and the boy spent half the night naked with each other and hugged each other......
Thinking of this, Huo Wu's gaze swept to Ren Xiaoyao, and he was ashamed in his heart: "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, but this princess has slept with this little rascal, isn't it a thousand years of cultivation to sleep together?"
For a while, no one knew the shyness in Huo Wu's heart, let alone the shyness in her seemingly calm face, and there was still some joy hidden under her seemingly calm face.
......
From Xingtu City to Tiandu, it is necessary to pass through nine major bends, each of which is turbulent and dangerous. These nine major bends are the famous "Nine Songs of the Divine Dragon". And the distance of this entire route is tens of thousands of miles, and it will take at least dozens of days to sail to reach Tiandu.
The boat rode the wind and waves, moving smoothly and quickly. Before you know it, three days have passed. By this time, the ship had already made way out of the densely populated area of human cities, and reached an endless valley.
The mountains and rivers on both sides of the river are connected, and the scenery is picturesque, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. Ren Xiaoyao sat alone on the bow of the boat, and cultivating in such an environment, he only felt that the speed was much faster than usual-because the surrounding Zhong Ling Tianxiu and star power were also much more abundant than in the city where humans gathered.
In the past few days, Feng Shenyu has still remained dead, treating Ren Xiaoyao coldly, and at the same time being enthusiastic about Fire Dance, and will be close to her at every opportunity. At this moment, he started again: "Hehe, Fire Dance Princess, do you know the name of this mountain?"
"Don't want to know. ”
"Hehe, in fact, this mountain is called Cangxiu Mountain. Do you know that there are a lot of bandits in this mountain, and if you rush from the ground, you will definitely meet them. ”
"Oh. ”
"Hehe, but don't worry, if you encounter bandits, I will definitely protect you. ”
“......”
Fire Dance didn't bother to talk to him at all.
At this time, Du Qisheng interjected: "Idiot, you also said that they are bandits, we are taking the waterway, how can we meet them?"
Feng Shenyu's face turned dark, and he said: "If there are no bandits, then there can't be water bandits? Maybe those bandits have changed their careers, no longer robbing passers-by, but robbing ships passing by!"
As soon as Feng Shenyu's voice fell, the whole ship shook suddenly and stopped sharply. Everyone sitting on the boat did not expect that Feng Shenyu was directly shaken down and fell into a dog eating, and everyone else shook violently, and hurriedly looked around to see what was going on.
"Boatman, what's going on?" Ren Xiaoyao looked at the stern of the boat, and saw that the boatman was still the same, sitting quietly on the small deck at the stern, leisurely looking at the long river behind him. It seems that the accident that happened in front of him has nothing to do with him, the boater.
After a long time, the boatman spoke, but his voice was strong and powerful, with four simple words: "I have dropped anchor." ”
"Hmm, why did you drop anchor?" Not only Ren Xiaoyao, but the five people on the boat all had this kind of doubt, and they all looked at this somewhat strange boatman.
The boatman was still lukewarm: "There is a trap under the water ahead, keep going forward, the piercing will be punctured." ”
Listening to what the boatman said, everyone was half-convinced: what was under the water in front of him, how could the old boatman know what was sitting in the back?
However, Ren Xiaoyao still took a long stick from the boat, which was more than ten meters long, and poked into the water in front of him.
"Boom" stirred twice, and the long stick hit the hard object with a "bell". Ren Xiaoyao felt it carefully, the hard object should be metallic, slender and long, stretching diagonally upward, probably something like iron thorns. As the boatman said, this is probably a trap set by someone.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly, and asked, "Then bypass from the side, can you pass?"
The boatman shook his head: "The whole row is in ambush, and the river in front has been stopped. ”
At this time, Feng Shenyu stood up again and exerted his mad dog spirit: "Hmph, you old fellow, you have been sitting in the back of the boat, how do you know that there is an ambush in front of you?
I have to say that this re-election Xiaoyao also somewhat agrees with Feng Shenyu's words, this old boatman is indeed a little strange.
But the old boatman completely ignored Feng Shenyu's questioning, he still sat at the stern of the boat, motionless and looking at the long river behind him.
At this moment, there was a sound of golden drums in front of them, and everyone immediately looked back.
I saw a big ship more than 20 meters long, and more than a dozen small boats several meters long, side by side from the front of the current, quickly heading towards this side. It was from those ships that the sound of the golden drums came, as well as the voices of the people on board:
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
Both large and small boats were full of people, each with weapons in their hands and their faces painted with special paints - isn't this the legendary bandits!
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces sank, and Ah Sheng glanced at Feng Shenyu: "You crow's mouth!"
Feng Shenyu wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Sander on the side. At this moment, it is really not the time to fight, and the army of water bandits on the opposite side is only a few tens of meters away.
On the big ship of the bandits opposite, a strong man with five big and three thick lives in the middle of the deck, and it seems that he is the leader of the bandits. He looked proud, looked up at the boat of Ren Xiaoyao and the others, and said with some dissatisfaction: "There is only one small boat, and it has not been pierced by water piercing, it is really in vain." ”
After the leader of the bandits signaled, a small minion beside him shouted: "Listen to the people in front, I announce on behalf of our honorable Lord Pound that from now on, you are already Lord Pound's private property!"
Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao frowned and glanced at Huo Wu - I think at the beginning, Huo Wu seemed to have said something similar...... However, this time the water bandits are different from the fire dance, the fire dance is just a joke, but people are real.
The water bandit on the opposite side then shouted: "Hugh has to resist, leave all the belongings and women behind!" If the strength is above the third layer of the Ning Xuan Realm, the man can join our water village; if the strength is lower than the third layer, our Lord Pang De is kind-hearted and allows you to leave!"
Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao felt crying and laughing: It seems that the requirements of this water village are quite high, and if they are not on the third floor of Ning Xuan Realm, they are not even qualified to join them as water bandits.
The big boat and more than a dozen small boats of the water bandits stopped five meters away, and then Pang De, the leader of the water bandits in the middle of the big boat, shouted: "Little ones, open the gate!"
As soon as his voice fell, he didn't know where the water bandits were operating, and I saw that the drainage thorns in front of him rose from the water one after another and were pulled to the shore. Each iron spike is three meters long, sharp and sharp, and ordinary ships must only be pierced if they hit it.
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but glance back again, the strange boatman of the "unknown prophet" was still sitting motionless in the stern of the boat, as if anything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Sanjie, the great master, spoke. He looked at the group of water bandits opposite with a cold expression, and said, "The robbery should also divide people." Do you think you can afford to mess with us?"
But having said that, Sanjay didn't release the coercion of his Star Realm powerhouse, only his verbal toughness.
Hearing this, the water bandits on the other side laughed: "Hahaha, how many years have I been Pound on land and water, what kind of master has I never seen? Just with a few of you, a small detachment under my command can handle it!"
With that, Pound ordered the water bandits to advance, and the remaining five meters quickly disappeared, and the big ship and many small boats crashed into the boat where Ren Xiaoyao was, causing the hull to shake for a while.
"Little ones, take it!"
"Up!"
The water bandits waved their weapons one after another, rushing towards the ships of Ren Xiaoyao and the others.
At this time, Sanjie, the great teacher, shouted: "Let's go together, capture the thief and capture the king first!"
His words coincided with Ren Xiaoyao's thoughts, as long as he captured the bandit leader Pang De first, the matter would naturally be resolved. He jumped first and got straight onto the big boat. However, when he looked back, he found that only Ah Sheng and Huo Wu rushed up with him, but Sanjie and Feng Shenyu stayed in place and didn't rush up at all!
"Insidious!" Ren Yao said secretly.
Apparently, Sanjay did it on purpose from the beginning:
With the strong strength of Sanjie's Imperial Star Realm, as long as he released his coercion before, I believe that these water bandits would not dare to make a mistake at all, and they would be scared away directly. But Sanjay didn't do that, but deliberately used words to stimulate the bandits and let the bandits attack.
After that, he kept saying "go together", but he and Feng Shenyu didn't go - it was obviously aimed at Ren Xiaoyao! He just wanted to borrow the hand of the water bandits to deal with Ren Xiaoyao!
