At midnight, serpentine lightning illuminates the river, and the Century Star cruise ship shuddes ahead in the raging storm of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

It was autumn, which was the rainiest season in the Three Gorges region, and there was a storm that occurred once in decades, and the wind force was 10 degrees, and all ships were moored to the shore tonight to avoid the wind, and there was nothing else on the water except the Century Star, which was drifting with the tide.

A few days ago, the Century Star was just a modest 4,000-ton observation cruise ship, but a few days ago, the cruise company's account suddenly received a large amount of money in the account, and the remitter asked to buy the ownership of the Century Star. In the face of such a powerful money offensive, the old club naturally did not hesitate at all, and happily completed the handover procedures for the Century Star.

Then, in just six hours, a 100-person engineering team flew from the UK on the Oloin family's special plane, and as soon as it landed, they rushed to the dock where the Century Star was berthed, and began to carry out a complete refit of the cruise ship.

According to the requirements of the funding boss, the cruise ship will be converted into a surface ship with destroyer-class firepower and armor, so as to cope with the storms and emergencies in the waters of the Yangtze River in a few days. The ship's flank armor is still easy to solve, but the firepower configuration requested by the boss is a big problem. After all, this is Kyushu, China, and you can't set up a swaggering 130mm main gun on the bow of a cruise ship, right?

Fortunately, the Oloin family has great powers, and somewhere they got the shipboard anti-submarine torpedo launcher and the supporting fire control radar system. After several days of refit work, the displacement of the Century Star soared to 6,500 tons.

So far, the Century Star has been transformed into a perfect transformation from a cruise ship to a destroyer.

Price, the captain of the "destroyer", sat in the bridge commander's seat with a cigar in his mouth, and watched the storm and rain splash on the front window. The Centurystar was temporarily transferred from the British Royal Navy, and many of them were sailors serving on the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, the elite of the Navy.

"It's over level 10 wind and waves, damn what the weather, if it weren't for the fact that this ship was converted into the standard of a destroyer by that group of crazy people, we would have been soaking in the icy river water by now waiting for helicopter rescue. Price took a puff of his cigar and stared intently at the undulating black water outside the front window.

"Sir, I take the liberty of asking, who are the young men and women who appeared on the bridge just now?" The sailor in charge of inspecting the weapon system raised his face full of doubts, in his cognition, this was definitely a top-secret military operation in another country, but how could such a destroyer full of torpedoes and anti-submarine rockets allow a pair of young men and women who looked like college students to board the ship?

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Price glanced at the young sailor, "But I know that the protagonist of tonight's show will not be us." ”

The ship's communications officer sent Price a report, and he immediately realized the importance of this report and immediately got up and left the bridge for the deck.

In order to avoid unwanted attention from the powerful searchlights, the Centurystar had been sailing in the dark, and Price found the Chang siblings and Miss Hathaway on the deck in the pouring rain.

Formed in ancient times, the Yangtze River is the mother river of Kyushu in China and one of the important lifelines. More than ten years ago, there was a flood disaster here, and the old man Chang couldn't bear to suffer here, so he used a divine sword to suppress the luck here and successfully resolve the crisis.

Now, with the rapid development of science and technology and industry in Kyushu, and the construction of a super dam for flood control and water storage in the Yangtze River basin, there is no longer a need for divine sword suppression.

Now is the time for things to return to their rightful owners.

Chang Hao declined the diving suit that Hathaway prepared for him, the deepest water depth of the Yangtze River is no more than 100, and the monks of the Foundation Building Realm can fully withstand the pressure and cold of a hundred meters of water depth, as for the necessary oxygen for breathing, you can use the turtle breath technique learned from your grandfather to deal with it.

What he needed to worry about was not the deep water and the cold, but the spirits in the water. Right now, it is a dark moon and a high windy night, and the yin qi is the worst, and only you know the danger.

As long as he and his brother make decisions, Chang Ge has always supported them unconditionally. She was holding a laptop with a rainproof compartment, and by this time she had fully mastered the sonar and anti-submarine systems of the destroyer Centurystar, and the underwater probes had all been put into the water, everything was working normally, and she was always on the lookout for every move in the water.

Chang Hao has a sign sensor attached to his chest, and data such as heartbeat, pulse and respiratory rate are intuitively displayed on the screen. He pressed his index finger against the waterproof earphones tucked tightly in his ear, and made an OK gesture to Chang Ge.

Although Hathaway did not secretly orient the immortal law, she was also keenly aware that there was something more terrible than a storm under the Yangtze River, and she just wanted to persuade a few words, Price came over in the rain, "Miss Hathaway, because this ship does not have a stealth coating, the surface radar of the Yangtze River Navigation Administration still locked our position." They had just radioed us that the size and wind level of the storm would continue to increase in the second half of the night, and for safety reasons, they would send rescue helicopters to make us unconditionally obey. ”

Price's tone was full of helplessness, "You should have heard of the work attitude of the people of Kyushu, Miss Hathaway, she is known for being meticulous and thorough, according to the time calculation, the rescue helicopter will arrive in this body of water in half an hour." ”

Hathaway frowned, in such bad weather, even the Oloin family with amazing energy could not interfere with the rescue plan of the Navigation Bureau in a short period of time. The Centurystar did have anti-aircraft guns on board, just in case, but she couldn't do anything crazy.

The wind and rain couldn't penetrate a foot in front of Chang Hao, so he didn't hesitate for a moment, grinned at everyone behind him, and immediately jumped into the dark water.

The water surface is turbulent, but under the surface of the water is unexpectedly calm, and what Chang Hao sees in front of him is the darkness that he can't see his fingers. A bright, leaping golden flame suddenly rose from his eyes, allowing him to see through the endless darkness.

Grandpa has said more than once that the vast Kyushu has evolved over the years, and there are many spirits lurking in the invisible places. Most of them do not interfere with the river water when they enter the water with the Terrans, but if they invade their territory without permission, the end is usually not very good.

There is a collective name for these spirits, and that is the demon beast.

And this is the water of the Yangtze River, which gave birth to the human race, and it can be called the nest of demon beasts.

Chang Hao identified a certain prescription position, put his divine sense to the extreme, and tried his best to avoid disturbing those powerful existences. The principle of the primary divine consciousness is similar to that of sonar, and the divine consciousness bounces along the uneven riverbed several times, allowing Chang Hao to "see" further.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power shield stretched out on the surface of his body burst out with powerful propulsion in an instant, advancing towards the deeper depths of darkness like an arrow from a string.

A few minutes later, the color of pure gold in Chang Hao's eyes suddenly jumped sharply.

In his eyes, a long sword standing alone under the water has come into view!

The sword emitted bursts of blue light, the tip of the sword pointing downward, and the blade was surprisingly thin, no more than two fingers wide. The light on the sword seemed to have some kind of spirituality, like breathing, and it seemed to call Chang Hao to go over and pull it up.

Chang Hao was short of breath, he had seen this sword when he was very young, but he didn't expect his grandfather to use this sword to suppress his luck back then, no wonder he never saw it again.

There was a sound of rushing water from the depths of the darkness, and it was obvious that some powerful creatures inhabiting the depths of the Yangtze River had sensed his presence and were rapidly approaching him.

Suddenly, a roar like a low roar ignored the distance, passing through the layers of water curtains, and the powerful biological current directly disturbed the underwater magnetic field, and Chang Hao could already observe with the naked eye that a pair of red lanterns had strangely appeared in the dark water!

That's the blood-red eyes of the monster hook snake!

Chang Hao's spiritual power gushed out, and he pulled out the Zhenguo Divine Sword out of the riverbed!

The sword's light surged, dispelling the darkness so that he could see his surroundings clearly.

Dense snake-like monsters and fish-like monsters have surrounded him.

"This welcome ceremony is really not a small battle. The corners of Chang Hao's mouth were bitter, and he still clenched the sword in his hand.
