Chapter 1052
2014-12-04
“Hurricane! There is a hurricane ahead—”“River vortex—God! What the hell is this? What's going on?"
"Fuck! What are you doing there in a daze--fast! Sail down, turn the rudder! Fast, fast, fast..."
As I said before, because the north In the chaotic situation, the passing ships on the Rhineau River have shrunk a lot compared to before, but it is also the main artery of Titus' economy. There will always be some imperial transport ships and merchant ships that are not afraid of death, etc., still shuttle back and forth. {}}
Now it is on this boundless river, with the sound of panic and shouting, a large merchant ship ten li or so away from the mouth of the river, hurriedly lowered its sails and turned the rudder, and stopped slowly. boat speed. The silhouette of the sailor on the deck is heavy and busy.
It wasn't because of the situation in the north or the riots in the water bandits that caused such a sudden change, but because the weather on the river suddenly became extremely scary...
"What a joke!" In the top cockpit of the merchant ship, the burly old captain with a beard face looked through the crystal glass covered with raindrops outside the cabin, staring blankly at the waters not far in front of the ship. Extending the line of sight again, looking towards the blurred river center farther away, the situation is even more terrifying, the color of the sky can hardly be seen, only the large tracts of black clouds gather together, which seems very depressing... subconsciously rubbed his eyes, In disbelief, he looked at his deputy who was also dumbfounded, "Today's wind and waves... er, is it that big?"
"No...it shouldn't be. I watched the night elephant last night, only It can be seen that the weather may rain today." The crew members who have been on the water all year round have a certain degree of confidence in the estimation and judgment of climate change. But looking at the terrifying posture in front of him, the tone of this pair of hands was obviously a little unsure.
Shake his head. "And. There is something abnormal in this water area... You also saw the captain when you came. Although there are wind and waves, it is only a small disturbance and does not affect the speed of the ship."
"Then what is this? " Pointing to the terrifying waters in front of the boat, the old captain looked absurd, "Is there a water monster making trouble under the river?" But apart from this, this abnormal situation is really hard to understand. The waters in front are all good, but coming here is like overturning the river. No one will believe it.
"Water monster? Uh..." He seemed to be thinking of something, his body trembled, his expression was obviously a little hesitant, hesitantly opened the mouth and said, "Everyone has been spreading rumors recently that on this route There is indeed water... a bit weird, and the location is at the mouth of the river..."
The old captain suddenly started to hear the words, instantly understood the meaning of the words, widened his eyes, and opened his mouth: "You mean ...that rumor?"
They are all people who seek a living on the river. There is naturally no obstacle to the flow of information between the various ships. About the weird boat that has been parked at the mouth of the river recently. As well as various versions of the rumors about the strange young man on the ship, these two people have naturally heard of them now.
In an instant, the cabin was silent.
After a moment of silence, the old captain breathed deeply and waved decisively: "Mother, this business is not going away. Tell everyone not to panic, and turn the boat back now."
Regardless of whether the decision was wise or not, it was clear that it was a bit late.
Without waiting for the deputy nodded to respond, his eyes suddenly froze, something unexpected happened, bang... ten Zhang or so in front of the bow, the turbulent river surface suddenly exploded, huā lā spray mixed with a frenzy The black shadow that jumped out instantly soared into the sky.
Immediately, before everyone on board could react, another black shadow jumped out from the river, and at a faster speed than the former, Rapid Speed took off to catch up.
In the cockpit on the top floor, the old captain and the deputy subconsciously opened their mouths and raised their heads, their hearts throbbing, and then they found that the two shadows that jumped out were not water monsters, but silhouettes, and there was a slowdown in their hearts. . But then the beating heart jumped into his throat instantly—I saw the shadow behind him jumping high, waving his arms, and the pitch-black dagger in his hand drew a piercing arc, and slammed down...
This moment , When the old captain and the two were in the eyes, time seemed to stand still for a moment.
A bleak sky, silhouettes staggered. A silhouette bent its mouth and looked down, and a silhouette looked up. You don't need to look at the expressions of the two, and you don't need to guess the relationship between the two. Just looking at this freeze-frame action has already explained a lot. In the narrow distance between the two, the pitch-black dagger blade shone with a little cruel rays of light, dazzling, like the edge of Death God's Scythe, full of Death Aura.
Immediately, the picture ran normally, the pitch-black dagger chiseled down with a phantom Rapid Speed, persistent and precise, and fell into the middle of the eyebrows of the silhouette that jumped out first...
pu! "Ah! ——"
The mournful screams are true, as for the refreshing sound of the knife cutting into the flesh, it was subconsciously imagined by the old captain and the two of them. The facts should not be far from each other, the dagger submerged, and a large bouquet of blood flowers bloomed in the air, flying everywhere.
Immediately, the two figures whose victory and defeat were decided and their life and death were decided all fell from the air, and the distance was getting closer and closer. The direction is this way? !
"Dodge..." Before the old captain subconsciously opened his mouth to call out a dodge warning, with a bang, the two figures fell straight on the deck, and the hull trembled. Beside his ears, one after another, the voiceless exclamations came faintly from outside the cabin.
Stabilizing the staggering figure, the two old captains both grabbed the crystal glass together, bowed their heads, and a silhouette riddled with scars lay on their backs on the deck, looking at the face of an old man. Both eyes stared fiercely, as if they were staring at something, and they seemed to be wailing in pain. Between the eyebrows, the dark dagger Keegan submerged!
On the body of the old man, a half-kneeling silhouette, also riddled with scars, can't see his face under disheveled hair. But it is clear that he is not dead, but even though there is an old man on the cushion below, he seems to be shaken not lightly. Some of the red water droplets scattered around the deck. All around, the dumbfounded sailors stared at...
For a moment, the half-kneeling silhouette slowed down. Pulled out from the old man's eyebrows. Get up, look up, the narrow eyes slightly narrowed, the blood-stained young face faintly overlaps with a certain impression...
deng deng deng, the deputy in the cabin, as if was struck by lightning, stepped back three steps in a row, face deathly pale, looked at each other in dismay with the equally terrified old captain, trembling and exclaiming: "Water, water... water monster!"
The rumored strange boat and strange young man, the old captain The two of them have not seen it with their own eyes, but the convincing description from other people's mouths can be regarded as a general impression. Now that I saw this very ruthless young face with my own eyes, I instantly matched the impression in my mind. So, how can they not be frightened again and again?
"Water monster—"
The sailors on the deck also reacted at this time, and they were instantly frightened when they saw the silhouette of the water monster, which was only in the legend before but now is close at hand. Senseless. The daring scream turned his head and ran, the timid slumped to the ground on the spot, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
It was the young man at the center of the chaos, namely Tang En, who had no self-awareness of being a water monster at all.
Before he could understand, he seemed to have suddenly noticed something, his body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned his head.
huā lā ……huā lā …
Several dozen feet away, the water splashes again. A total of five silhouettes jumped out of Rapid Speed from the river and hovered in the air. It is the only remaining Haita and the others, that is, the luxurious lineup that was destroyed by half of the group.
The two sides looked at each other silently, similar to Tang En's situation. Haita and the others who came up later did not have any injuries on their bodies. The difference was only light or serious.
This is also the result of the hunter and the prey after the roles are switched, and the two sides chase and fight underwater again.
Facts have proved that Tang En not only has extraordinary experience in running, but also has unique accomplishments in chasing and killing. Even though Haita and the others listened to Winslyn's advice and shamelessly took out a strange defensive formation, it was still not enough to save their lives under Tang En's knife... In fact, the latter is also Tang En's job!
So,
Encirclement and suppression, heavy losses, complete defeat!
Retreat, you can't get rid of the whole body, you are still completely defeated!
...Looking at the silent old enshrined corpse under Tang En's feet, and then looking at Tang En's face with a slightly raised mouth, Haita's eyes were twitched, and their hearts felt numb, hopeless, and at a loss.
Another step late, and another one died...
