Chapter 136: Two Retreats from the Enemy
He Qianshan was about to ask Lao Ma if he suspected that Guanyin would have another conspiracy, when there was a restless sound from the rear of the fleet!
"Oh no! The boat is leaking! Someone is scuttling the boat!"
Enemy information came from several cargo ships almost at the same time!
Ma Xingzhou scolded his mother and yelled: "If the water is good, follow me!"
Before the words fell, He Qianshan had already seen his sheepskin shoulders flying in the air, and the people had jumped into the river!
Immediately after the continuous "poof" sound of entering the water on both sides of the fleet, the underwater masters of the Yangtze River faction jumped down the river one after another, and the splashes connected into two long white lines!
Speaking of water, He Qianshan is a master!
He quickly removed his coat, shoes and socks, lifted his sword, jumped over the strings of the boat, and plunged straight into the water, without splashing!
Along the side of the dragon head boat, He Qianshan rowed a few feet, it was as fast as a shuttle, and in an instant, he drove past several people from the Yangtze River faction, and he had seen the situation ahead!
I saw that on the underwater side and bottom of those cargo ships, there were really many people wielding chisel axes and desperately cutting the hull of the ship, and they were all wearing Guanyin masks!
It's still a member of the Kannon Society!
They didn't do anything to the escort ship, but when they saw that they couldn't take away the wood, they wanted to scuttle it?
Ma Xingzhou has already started with them!
The helmsman who is as fierce as a tiger on the boat is also as fierce as a shark underwater!
Not only is he very good at water, but he also seems to have a unique set of underwater combat skills!
Not only is the fist and foot exerted, as easy as flat ground, but the use of internal force is even more wonderful!
But seeing that he slapped and fanned his palms, the internal force he exerted could be fused with the power of the water, and he could control the enemy's body at will, and even create a small whirlpool, rolling the opponent in it, unable to move!
The rest of the people of the Yangtze River faction, although they do not have the ability of the horse helmsman, are also capable of underwater warfare, and they are divided by two, which makes those Guanyin congregations flee in panic, but they do not flee to the surface, but sneak to other cargo ships, meet with the accomplices under those cargo ships, and continue to scuttle the ship!
Only then did He Qianshan discover that the people of the Guanyin Society were biting a hose that led down from the water surface in their mouths, which seemed to be connected with animal blood vessels!
These hoses are designed to compensate for the lack of water and allow them to breathe underwater!
He Qianshan immediately drilled out of the water and saw many wooden plates floating on the water, just like the lotus leaves in the lotus pond in summer!
These wooden discs are half a foot round, made of cedar wood, with holes in the center and drainage outlets on the four walls, which are difficult to overturn!
The upper end of those hoses passes through the central hole of these wooden discs, and the joints are melted and reinforced, so that they can always float on the surface of the water with the discs!
From the distribution and flow of these wooden plates, He Qianshan found that the people of the Guanyin Society were gathering more and more to a few of the cargo ships, and it should be that under the powerful offensive of the Yangtze River faction, they gave up the plan to scuttle all the cargo ships, and instead wanted to concentrate on scuttling these few ships!
One of the cargo ships was already badly damaged, with a large amount of water ingress causing the hull to tilt!
He Qianshanfu dived into the water again, and quickly shuttled around these boats!
After making sure that Mingyue and Xia Chen were not among them, he surfaced again, stroking the wooden discs away from the hose along the way......
Most of the Guanyin congregation soon surfaced because they could not breathe, and were held by the Yangtze River faction with hooks and nets.
There are also some Guanyin congregants who even fought with their lives to continue to scuttle the boat until they were exhausted and drowned!
He Qianshan really couldn't figure it out, why did these people swear to stop this batch of wood?
The water ghosts of the Guanyin Society, the dead died, and the caught, finally cleaned up, but their actions still achieved certain results!
The most damaged cargo ship is no longer salvage and is about to sink!
At the bow of the ship, the crew cut the ropes that bound the wood so that it would not sink into the river! After that, they fled to a nearby escort ship, with He Qianshan and Ma Xingzhou with them.
The bow of the ship counted the number of people: "...... Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two!
Ma Xingzhou nodded his head twice, but saw that the face of the bow of the boat turned white, and he shouted "Oops", and was about to jump on the sunken ship with the stern of the ship exposed!
Ma Xingzhou grabbed him: "What are you doing, Old Zhou?"
"There's another girl on the boat!" shouted Lao Zhou, tearing his throat!
"Girl?"
Ma Xingzhou was at a loss where the girl came from, only to hear the sound of "fluttering" water, and the figure of He Qianshan was no longer visible!
"I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Ma Xingzhou glared at Lao Zhou, and jumped into the water with him!
At this time, the cargo ship was completely submerged in the water, and it was sinking quickly to the bottom of the river with its bow facing down!
After Ma Xingzhou entered the water, he only saw a white waterline, like an arrow off the string, shooting straight towards the wreck!
He was dumbfounded, how had he ever seen such a dive speed?
Although he knew that he could neither catch up with He Qianshan nor the wreck, Ma Xingzhou still dived with all his strength and chased down!
He was desperately chasing, but saw He Qianshan's white line disappear, and the wreck made a "squeak" sound, which seemed to be caused by the hull being squeezed!
What's even more strange is that a large number of bubbles suddenly gushed out from under the hull, like boiling water, and the speed of the ship sinking became slower and slower, and finally it actually hovered!
Ma Xingzhou rushed to the bottom of the wreck, and saw an unbelievable scene!
He Qianshan actually pressed his shoulders against the bow of the boat, his arms hung straight down, his hands were ten fingers open, his palms were downward, and his true qi spurted out in a spiral!
Under his palms, a hollow whirlpool was formed, like a tornado, and the surrounding water was flying, shaking and fluctuating!
And he looked very struggling, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and the steel teeth in his mouth were clenched!
This...... Did this kid stand up to this big ship with his own strength?
Ma Xingzhou was stunned, with a top underwater kung fu, but he didn't know how to help!
Seeing that Ma Xingzhou was still stunned, He Qianshan was so anxious that he spat out the blisters and shouted: "Find someone!"
Ma Xingzhou then remembered that he came to save a girl in the boat!
He figured that if the girl was trapped, she could only be in the cabin below deck, near the bow.
So he went up to the entrance to the belly of the ship below deck, and just opened the hatch to get in, but a man came out of his face, and sure enough, it was a girl!
But this girl is already unconscious, and she is only drifting out with the current!
I don't know if I didn't have time to climb to the exit, or if I didn't open the hatch when I got to the exit!
Ma Xingzhou hurriedly hugged the girl, slapped the deck a few times, and then swam to the surface at full speed.
He Qianshan heard Ma Xingzhou's signal, that is, he withdrew from under the boat, and with the reversal of the ninety-nine return vitality, he caught up with Ma Xingzhou in the blink of an eye!
Although he had a vague foresight in his heart when he heard that there was a girl in the boat, when he saw the girl in Ma Xingzhou's arm, it was indeed Zhao Duxue, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and there were blisters bubbling out of his mouth!
