Chapter 100: Water Thieves
"Uh...... Didn't pay attention just now. Lin Xiuran scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Fluttering!"
A carrier pigeon soars into the sky and is about to fly into the distance.
"Huh?!" Lin Zixian saw it, and he didn't think about it.
"Poof!"
"Bang!"
The carrier pigeon burst out with a wide range of blood, and the intelligence in its claws was shattered, and the tajin and algae silver fell into the water.
"Bang!"
Lin Xiuran hurriedly opened the umbrella to block the blood, but he couldn't be splashed by the blood, otherwise it would be difficult to use them.
Lin Zixian didn't know what information this carrier pigeon was going to send, but in the spirit of guarding against people, he knocked it down.
"Bang!"
"Boom! it hurts me!"
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Lin Yue'er, who was standing in front of a window, clasped her hands and hammered the wall hard.
The information she wanted to send out was to let the headquarters ambush a wave at the ferry on the opposite side, and intercept Erlin when the time came, but she didn't expect to intercept it. She is not a broad-minded person, and few of those who dare to make her deflated survive.
At some point, the surface of the lake became more and more waves, and wave after wave hit the hull, causing the entire hull to have an extremely slight shaking feeling.
"Alright, let's move on. Lin Xiuran held Lin Zixian's white and soft little hand.
"Okay, Ah Ran, there is a situation. Lin Zixian glanced at him, it was really getting more and more colorful, but she liked it, hehe......
"What's the situation?oh!" Lin Xiuran was still a little strange at first, but the next moment he knew what was going on.
"Someone is scuttling a boat at the bottom of the boat! These people's ability to conceal cannot be underestimated!" If Lin Zixian hadn't said it just now, he wouldn't have noticed the movement at the bottom of the boat.
These people are also very cunning, and actually take advantage of the movement caused by the waves to dig the bottom of the ship.
Lin Zixian leaned his ear to the deck, and the dense and neat tinkling sound was clearly heard by him.
Lin Xiuran went to inform Lin Yue'er that now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, although these two grasshoppers are not afraid of the group of people under the boat at all, but they still have to rely on this boat to reach Taiyang Mountain, after all, it is much farther to take a detour than to take a waterway, otherwise Lin Xiuran will not care about the life or death of these people.
Lin Zixian walked to the edge of the boat, her purple eyes lit up slightly, and she looked through the dark green lake water, and directly saw the bottom of the lake hundreds of meters away from her.
At the same time, she also saw dozens of shirtless white-skinned men sticking to the bottom of the ship, who were wreaking havoc on the bottom of the ship with hammers and chisels.
Their skin is abnormally white, they are chiseled at several points that would cause a shipwreck if they break, they are extremely agile in the water, and so on. All of this proves that they have definitely been doing this kind of business for a long time, and they are absolutely experienced, and it is estimated that in a minute or two, this big ship that can withstand strong winds and waves will be sunk by them.
In addition, in addition to those who scuttled the boat, there were dozens of people with steel knives in their mouths wandering around here.
Lin Zixian's eyes froze, and his hands flipped over, and there were already ten more flying knives in his hands.
"Puff puff ......"
The throwing knives sank into the water one after another, striking the ten men with green turbans on their foreheads with precision.
Due to the shape of the hull being narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, Lin Zixian could only hit those enemies who did not participate in the ship-shaking, after all, her hidden weapon level was not enough, and she could not do it to the extent that the hidden weapon turned on the way.
"Puff~Puff......"
Blood bubbles bubbled up, followed by ten corpses emerging from the water.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came from the bottom of the ship.
Lin Zixian looked through the wood and saw that the enemies who were scuttling the boat had all chiseled hard metal, and then a large number of pure metal thin arrows shot from the bottom of the boat, shooting the people who scuttled the boat into humanoid hedgehogs one by one, and only two or three people reacted quickly and escaped by luck.
Seeing this, Lin Zixian also breathed a sigh of relief, she was not afraid of water battles, but it was inevitable that she would be a little uncomfortable, especially since the other party was overwhelmed, and its strength was between the early stage of the orange level and the late stage of the orange level, of which there were two in the late stage of the orange level alone!
It's best not to get into the water, but if the situation is not good, you can only abandon the ship and run away, which is not a shameful move.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
It was Lin Yue'er who came down with most of her men.
Lin Yue'er looked at the corpse of the big man floating on the water, and her face changed: "It's a water thief in Zhenjiang!"
"What Zhenjiang water thief?" Lin Xiuran said curiously.
Lin Yue'er glared at him: "Now is not the time to talk about this, come on, give me a water crossbow! Everyone uses a water crossbow." ”
The so-called water crossbow is similar to what Lin Xiuran knows, that is, its arrows are much thinner, round, about 30 centimeters long, and the diameter is estimated to be only three or four millimeters (to reduce the resistance), but it weighs about a few hundred grams (to enhance the penetration and speed in the water).
"Come on, let yourself go!"
Flirting is a medicine against water thieves, as long as it is sprinkled into the water, it will react violently with the water within a few seconds, and then produce something that can make people's skin ulcerate, which lasts for more than five minutes, and then it will be gradually diluted by the lake water.
It's just that the price of this kind of thing in the market has always been high, and it has almost become a standard item for rich people who often travel by water.
The four guards each held a bow and crossbow, distributed in the east, west, north and south directions of the ship, and each direction shot three dark red arrows, which automatically exploded after flying out about ten meters, turning into a cloud of smoke composed of dark red powder, and then quickly dissolved into water.
As a big chamber of commerce, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will naturally prepare something in advance specifically to deal with water thieves.
The people present were all warriors, and when the water thieves were still three or four meters above the water, their location could be determined, and even some people with good eyesight had already begun to shoot arrows.
Lin Zixian also asked for a water crossbow, stared at the surface of the water, and shot arrows one after another without stopping.
After a few more seconds, everyone also began to attack, and the water thieves were not stupid, and they did not float up directly, but went around to the side before stopping.
"Puff Puff ......"
More than a dozen corpses floated up, with various numbers of arrows stuck in their bodies.
Lin Zixian's pupils, who had taken the time to look underwater, suddenly shrank, and she saw a strange creature.
Just when everyone was a little relieved, the hull of the ship shook violently as if it had been hit by a heavy object.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Bang-"
After three major impacts, the hull of the ship shook violently, and then began to sink, thinking that the bottom of the ship had been broken by something unknown.
The crowd was in an uproar, somewhat frightened, after all, most of them had never encountered such a situation.
Seeing this, Lin Yue'er shouted: "Calm me down! Panic will only make you die faster! Don't mess up!"
"Remember, there are twenty tarats for killing one person at a time, and the deceased can get a pension of five hundred tarats!"
Lin Yue'er hit the railroad while it was hot, she knew that she could only use money and her life to calm down these subordinates now, otherwise they would definitely die.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately calmed down a lot, and the slight fear in their eyes turned to excitement.
'What a woman with a brain. Lin Xiuran secretly praised.
The hull was still fluttering, but not as violently as it had been.
The deep green water of the lake is constantly pouring into the boat.
'Sister, what did you just see?'
'A green creature that looks like a crocodile, seven or eight meters long, more than two meters wide, and about a meter high. It's out of range, so we can't get specific information about it. ’
'Okay. ’
"Puff puff ......"
Heads poked out of the water in the distance, they were water thieves, they were breathing, even if the water was good, it was impossible for people to stay in the water forever.
"Woo Woo ......"
The guards immediately fired arrows, killing several of the water thieves who couldn't dodge.
The rest of the thieves dived into the water and swam farther away, and one of them, who appeared to be their leader, let out a long, loud whistle before diving into the water.
Everyone was a little puzzled by his actions, but they became more vigilant in their hearts, anyway, what that person did was not good for them.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened, but I found that light blue fins were swimming rapidly in the distance!
No wonder those men did not rush over, but retreated.
By this time, the ship had mostly sunk.
Lin Yue'er asked everyone to break a piece of wood by themselves and come out as a temporary foothold.
"Everyone listen to my orders! Try to shoot in the same position when shooting, and adhere to the principle of maximizing damage!"
"Yes, miss!"
"Woo Woo ......"
The arrows flew out, most of them hitting the attacking fish creatures.
"Huh~~"
In the distance, the man who had just whistled another long whistle.
More than half of the fins disappeared from the water.
"Wow!"
A bloody jaw rushed out of the water and pounced on one of the guards!
"Ahh
"Gaba Gaba!"
A goosebump-inducing chewing sound was heard.
"Woo Woo ......"
A dozen water bolts pierced the big fish, killing it.
"Poof!"
Its five-meter-long body fell into the water, making a large splash.
"Three o'clock, seven o'clock, one o'clock......" Lin Zixian kept reporting the location of the big fish to Lin Xiuran, and at the same time attacked the big fish that were close to her.
"Woohoo!"
"Woohoo!"
"Woo Woo ......"
Lin Xiuran was not in a hurry, and listened carefully to Lin Zixian's instructions, and every three arrows could kill a big fish. He found that these big fish had extremely strong attack power (bite force), but their defense was frighteningly low.
It's not that Lin Zixian doesn't want to help the people of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but they don't understand these "four o'clock directions", and sometimes they are not very accurate when they use the words of front, back, left, right, etc., which causes shooting deviations, but reduces the efficiency of killing the enemy.
"Be careful!!" Lin Zixian said loudly.
"Wow!"
"Dingdingding......"
A large creature suddenly jumped out, swallowed the eight guards standing on the same plank, and then wagged its tail and dived into the water.
These piercing water bolts failed to break through the creature's defenses!
Fortunately, due to its large size, it is not very fast, and many people can react when it appears. It was only caught off guard just now that it succeeded.
