Chapter 117: Salvaging the Shipwreck
"My name is Shen Chao, and I'm from the Bishui Sect. ”
"Lu Han, Jiaolin Valley. ”
"Little sister Hu Yan is from Linglong Villa. ”
Ten people introduced themselves separately, all of them were disciples of various sects, and they came out to travel and make some extra money by the way. After all, the resources of the sect are limited, except for the core disciples who have the sect to cultivate at any cost, everyone else has to find their own way.
What attracted Chu Hao's attention were these three people: Shen Chao, Lu Han and Hu Yan, all of whom were 19 years old, but they were already fifth-order martial artists, and their talents were extremely dazzling.
Although the realm of the other six people was not much worse, they always gave Chu Hao a feeling that they were useless - it was not that they were too weak, but that Chu Hao was too demonic.
Whether it is the Bishui Sect, Jiaolin Valley, Linglong Villa or any other sect, it is at least one grade worse than the Yunliu Sect, and the smallest sect is the Black Yuan Sect, which only has eight grades.
In other words, the strongest person in the Black Yuan Sect is only a martial artist - the eighth order of the Heaven Support.
After knowing that Chu Hao was from the Yunliu Sect, everyone was "oh", looking a little awe-inspired, but when they knew that Chu Hao was just a third-order martial artist, they couldn't help but look a little arrogant.
Only Shen Chao, Lu Han, and Hu Yan were the exceptions, and their expressions remained the same, showing that their hearts were very firm.
Only by not being moved by external objects can we stick to our own path.
This is also the reason why Chu Hao glanced at the three of them.
No one stipulates that if you are born in a "poor family", you will not have the opportunity to go out of the world--there is no high-grade practice that will indeed encounter a bottleneck, but there is a chance in this world, maybe you will fall off the cliff and not die, but you accidentally get the relics of a certain ancient powerhouse, and you will soar into the sky as soon as you fly.
"The owner seems to be mysterious. Lu Han changed the subject and turned to their employer.
Everyone nodded, and so far, in addition to the sailors, there was only a middle-aged man who had been recruited at the city gate before, although the strength of the other party was not weak, but it didn't look like he could be in charge.
There was a bang, but it was a ship.
"Everyone—" At this moment, I saw a young woman walking out of the cabin with lotus steps, wearing a plain white dress, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her green silk was like clouds, full of stunning beauty.
She has a graceful temperament, she is definitely from a wealthy family, and more timid people will never dare to look at her.
Seeing that everyone looked at her, she smiled faintly and continued: "My name is Nangong Rou, and the merchant ship sunk in this lake is owned by my family, and there are extremely precious goods on board, so please work together." ”
"I will live up to Miss Nangong's trust. Everyone nodded, the so-called collection of money, **, as a matter of course.
"The water area where the accident happened is a bit far away, and it will be about a day's voyage, so you can take a rest first, please. Nangong Rou was slightly blessed and walked back to the cabin.
"What an amazing temperament, what kind of big family should this Nangong family be, right?"
"I don't think I've ever heard of it, though. ”
"Indeed, I have never heard of such a big family. ”
Everyone turned their heads to each other, and it was said that the Nangong family was so generous, this Nangong family should be a big family, but it seemed that it had never existed, and it suddenly appeared.
Chu Hao couldn't help but look at Lu Han and the three of them, and the four of them looked at each other, all frowning slightly.
This seems a bit out of order.
The boat was moving very fast, and eighteen crew members in the bilge rowed the oars, making the big ship seem like an arrow from the string, leaving a white wave behind it.
The sky gradually darkened, when the sun set on the lake, the speed of the boat also decreased, one is dark, the vision is poor, and the other is to go forward, this reef will be more, the boat is too fast, if it hits, then everyone will fall overboard.
In this 10,000-hectare lake, once you encounter a fierce beast, you will fall into absolute passivity.
- Can you catch up with the beast?
can only be beaten and unable to fight back, and in the end he will definitely be consumed alive.
Although the owner sent food and water in the evening, Chu Hao didn't touch the ten people, but used the food they carried, and it was always right to be careful when going out.
Because they were on a ship, they didn't have to keep vigil, and the beasts in the water usually wouldn't attack such a large ship.
The night passed, and it was safe.
After breakfast, it didn't take long for them to come to the place where the merchant ship had an accident before Nangong's family, which was already very close to an island in the center of the lake, surrounded by reefs, and the water surface was foggy and steaming, and it was impossible for the ship to move forward when it arrived.
After Chu Hao glanced at it, he couldn't help but feel very strange, because the island in front of him was clearly a desert island, and there was no place to dock around it. To be exact, it should be a treacherous peak, rising straight from the bottom of the water.
It is not on the normal route, and it cannot be the final station, why did the merchant ship of the Nangong family sail here?
"Everyone, get ready. Nangong Rou walked out, and behind him was a group of people dressed in water, about a dozen, who should have gone into the water to salvage.
Chu Hao's ten people were also assigned a piece of water, and their task was to protect the dozen or so people who were going to carry out salvage work.
Since they took this job, even if they had doubts in their hearts, everyone still consciously changed to water, and when they went out, they not only represented themselves, but also the sect behind them.
Tom, tom, tom.
Everyone jumped into the water one by one, took a deep breath, and dived one after another.
It wasn't until everyone disappeared from the water that four more people came out of the cabin, all middle-aged people in their 30s, who bowed slightly to Nangong Rou and said, "Miss, everything is as you expected." ”
Nangong Rou nodded and said, "Whether the Nangong family can be revived depends on whether the cave below can be successfully opened this time." More than 100 years ago, the Nangong family completely declined because of this cave mansion, and today it will be revived because of this. Prepare for the beast to come out, and then we'll take the opportunity to enter the water and enter the hole. ”
"Yes. The four middle-aged men all had glowing eyes that showed fanaticism.
......
Chu Hao and the other ten guards scattered in the water, forming a circle, and in the middle were the personnel in charge of salvage, they continued to dive and searched for the bottom of the lake.
This water is a bit similar to the earth's diving suit, and there is actually an air bag in it, coupled with the martial artist's breath-holding ability, which is enough for people to move under the surface of the water for up to half an hour without coming up to breathe.
The lake water is a little cold, but fortunately, the warriors are full of blood, and as long as the activity is open, they can easily block such a cold air. And the water quality here is really clear, but the water is too deep, the light is difficult to reach the bottom, and it is difficult to see the bottom of the water.
Chu Hao kept turning his body, in fact, his hearing and eyesight in the lake water were greatly weakened, and the most reliable thing was his sense of touch, whether it was a fierce beast or an ordinary waterfowl swimming, it would cause fluctuations in the water flow.
What's wrong?
Chu Hao was on guard, and at the same time thought in his heart, he always felt that there was something wrong with the surrounding environment, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
Wait a minute.
He was suddenly stunned, it was too clean.
It's so clean that there's no living thing in sight.
Fish, turtles, lobsters...... None at all.
It's a lonely body of water.
Why are there no living creatures?
Chu Hao's heart suddenly sank—there should be a fierce beast's nest near here, and besides, this fierce beast should be extremely powerful, so that any life would be kept away. He hurriedly gestured towards Shen Chao and the others, signaling them to be more vigilant.
At this time, they all dived to the bottom of the lake.
Looking around, it's clean, where are there any shipwrecks?
Chu Hao swept his eyes and barely saw that there was a big hole in the mountain wall of the island. But the shipwreck floated into this hole...... That's.
**Wave.
A cloud of bubbles suddenly popped up from his body, and it was actually bright red.
Blood.
Chu Hao was surprised, he wasn't injured. When I looked again, I saw that everyone was bubbling with bubbles.
They hurriedly gestured one after another, and everyone floated towards the lake.
"What's going on?"
"Why do we all have blood coming out of our bodies?"
"What about the shipwreck?"
Everyone was gossiping.
Chu Hao untied the water support, flipped it over, and finally found the reason.
-- There was a bag sewn into the middle of the water, it must have been made of some kind of fish sac, it was very thin anyway, and it was filled with blood, and when they dived to the bottom of the lake and the pressure of the water was strong enough, the bag would burst, and the blood would come out.
For what purpose?
"Where's the ship?" someone turned to look at and suddenly exclaimed.
The big ship that carried them was gone.
It's inexplicable.
It was said that the wreck would be salvaged, but the wreck did not exist at all. And now the ships that carried them are gone, what's going on? Playing with them?
Chu Hao frowned, in the sea area of the earth, if someone is injured, what will happen?
As long as there are sharks nearby, they will soon swarm in droves.
"Oh no, everyone, let's get rid of the water. He said at once, and took off his first one.
Some immediately shook their heads, joking, that now that the boats were gone, the chances of getting them back to shore safely would be greatly increased if there was water leaning against them. But a few people immediately began to unravel it.
Shen Chao, Lu Han, and Hu Yan.
At this moment, a violent wave of water surged into the lake, causing a large wave to rise on the surface of the lake. Splashing.
"Something has swam up below. Someone shouted.
Boom.
The surface of the water burst open, and a huge snake rushed out of the water, its head the size of a water tank, covered in blue scales, and its eyes were like light bulbs, emitting a faint cold light.
"Ahh Someone happened to be lifted up, and involuntarily flew into the sky, but before he could fall, the giant snake opened its mouth and ate the man in one gulp.
"This is the Emerald Scaly Snake. Shen Chao suddenly exclaimed.
"The adult body is equivalent to the Eight Veins Martial Sect. Hu Yan's face also changed greatly.
"This snake is at least 100 meters long, and it is definitely an adult, and it is by no means comparable to us. ”
"Run. ”
