Everyone was ready, and the boatmen all grabbed the harpoons in their hands and followed Qining's instructions to pay attention to the movement of the bottom board. Soon, there was a "pop" sound, a piece of wood was cut through, and a small hole was opened. From the hole, Suddenly, water came out of the river. The boatman on the side held a harpoon in both hands. He waited until the hole was bigger and then pierced it with the harpoon.
In just a moment, five or six holes had been dug in the bottom of the boat.
Li Tang looked solemn and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, these guys want to sink this ship. The ship's oars have been destroyed. We can't let the ship dock. We can only watch the ship in the middle of the river." sinking."
"They are no match for us on the boat, but they are all very good at water. They want to get us underwater." Zhou Shun also said: "Master Hou, what do these people want to do?"
Qining, however, stared at the wooden board without speaking.
Suddenly there was a clicking sound, and a bottom plate was broken open, revealing a huge hole. Without saying a word, the boatman next to him mustered up the courage to stab the harpoon in his hand through the hole, and the fish When the harpoon was submerged in the water, the boatman suddenly heard a cry of "Ah", and the harpoon in his hand was actually pulled from the water. The boatman was startled and quickly let go.
There are more and more cracked cabin boards. These water ghosts are naturally well prepared. They have already thought about cutting the ship as a last resort, so the tools are well prepared.
Seeing a large amount of river water pouring in, the auditorium said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, we can't keep this boat. There are two boats on board. Master Hou, please take the boat and leave quickly."
Official ships like this usually have one or two small boats on board. Sometimes the draft is too shallow for large ships to dock, so you can rely on small boats to get up.
These boatmen are not ordinary boatmen. They all eat royal food. Knowing that the situation is critical, they must ensure the safety of the Marquis. A boatman has come up early and said: "Master Marquis, the boat's oars have been damaged and cannot dock. These thieves are thieves." If the boat sinks, please take advantage of the Marquis to get to the shore quickly in a small boat."
"I can't leave you alone," Qi Ning said sternly.
Li Tang said: "Master Marquis, with all due respect, this gang of thieves came here to attack Master Marquis. As long as Master Marquis leaves this big ship, the boatmen on the ship are all good at water and there will be no problems."
"Master Marquis, although these thieves have mediocre martial arts, they are very good at water. We may not be their opponents underwater." Zhou Shun also said: "Let's go ashore in the boat. As long as we get to the shore, these thieves will have nothing to fear."
Hearing a "click" sound, the bottom plate was broken open again. At this time, a large amount of river water had invaded the bottom cabin, and both feet were missing. Qining did not hesitate anymore and said in a deep voice: "Get ashore while the boat is in use."
After everyone got out of the hold, the boatmen immediately put the two prepared boats into the water. The two boats were about the same size and could only hold three or four people.
"Zhou Shun, Li Tang, together with Zhao Quan, carry Qi Feng aboard the boat." Qi Ning ordered: "Zhan Ying, I and Yan Lingxian are taking a boat."
Since Qi Ning had given the order, everyone stopped talking. Li Tang and others entered the cabin and carried out the injured Qi Feng, and boarded the boat. Zhou Shun rowed the oar and went to the shore. Ximen Zhanying and Yan Lingxian also got on the boat. There were two small boats, but Qi Ning was not seen coming. Both of them drew their swords and were on guard to prevent the water ghost from approaching. Suddenly they saw Qi Ning coming with a person on his back. The person was covered by a black robe and wrapped tightly.
Qi Ning jumped on the boat, which suddenly rocked. Qin Ning held the man in his arms and said to Yan Lingxian: "Go to the shore, you come and rock the oar."
Yan Lingxian was startled and said awkwardly: "I... I don't know how...!"
At this moment, I heard Ximen Zhanying say urgently: "Quick, hurry up, they are approaching." He raised his hand and pointed towards the water, only to see three or four heads floating on the water, and when he saw the small boat Qining was riding, he immediately Dive into the water, and there are water marks on the water surface, which is coming towards the boat.
Yan Lingxian naturally knew that if it were a head-on confrontation, he would not be more afraid of these water ghosts. But now that he was on the river, he was already at a disadvantage. At this time, he didn't care whether it was possible or not. He went over to sit down, picked up the oar, and saw Li Tang The small boat was not far ahead, and I started paddling towards it.
His movements were unfamiliar and the boat was swaying. Yan Lingxian was a little confused for a while. Ximen Zhanying held a big knife in his hand and stared at the water, wary of anyone approaching.
Li Tang was worried that the water ghosts would attack Qi Ning, so he did not paddle with all his strength and kept a certain distance, not daring to widen the distance and ready to respond at any time.
Under the confusion, Yan Lingxian barely mastered how to paddle and rowed forward for a short distance. At this moment, the boat suddenly started shaking violently. Yan Lingxian said anxiously: "They dived under the boat."
As soon as Yan Lingxian finished speaking, there was a "plop" next to him. Qining turned his head and looked over, only to see Ximen Zhanying jumping off the boat.
Qi Ning knew that Ximen Zhanying was worried about the water ghosts digging into the bottom of the boat, so he jumped in without hesitation.
Ximen Zhanying has courage, but her martial arts is not that high, let alone entangled with water ghosts underwater. Qining frowned, Yan Lingxian was still worried, and heard "plop" again. At the sound, Qining actually jumped out of the boat, and even the man he was holding in his arms entered the water.
Seeing this, Li Tang and others in front did not hesitate, leaving Zhao Quan to take care of Qi Feng, and jumped into the water without saying a word to Zhou Shun.
Zhao Quan was also very anxious. Standing behind the boat, he suddenly saw the water rolling on the river. Then he saw Qining floating up, twisted his body, and then dived down again.
Zhao Quan was a little surprised when he saw Qi Ning writhing in the water, flexible and light, and thought to himself that Mr. Hou had never been in the water since he was a child, so how could he be so good underwater.
Of course the former Prince Jinyi didn't know how to swim, but the current Prince Jinyi is proficient in water.
He saw Ximen Zhanying jumping into the water, and knowing Ximen Zhanying's thoughts, he was afraid that she would be alone, so he jumped into the water.
He is proficient in water and has high internal strength. When he holds his breath in the water, he just slaps his palms and the reaction force makes him scurry away. In an instant, he is under the boat. Under the water, he can vaguely see Ximen Zhanying entangled with the two of them. There were two people working hard at the bottom of the boat.
The black robe was carried on his back. The Yangtze River flowed down from west to east. Qi Ning swam over. The two people who were entangled with Ximen Zhanying saw Qi Ning approaching. They immediately separated each other. There was a thorn in the water. , actually went straight to Qining to greet him.
He was very water-resistant, and he was wearing a water body, so he could move nimbly, and his weapon was the water-splitting thorn, which is the most flexible underwater, so he didn't take Qining seriously. , Qining stretched out his hand, but he arrived first and had already grabbed the man's wrist.
The man was startled, but Qi Ning had already twisted his hand and broke the man's wrist. He took the water-splitting thorn from the man's hand and stabbed it into the man's heart. The man's eyes were filled with tears. He was disbelieving and surprised. He was obviously not convinced that Qining could kill him so easily underwater.
Qining and Xue surfaced out of the water together, and saw fluctuations in the water surface not far away. There were five or six people in the water mark. He knew that when he got into the water, he had attracted all these people, so he dived down again and saw Ximen. Zhan Ying was still entangled with the water ghost, Qi Ning did not hesitate, and walked directly towards Ximen Zhanying with the black-robed man on his back and the water-splitting thorn in his hand. While the water ghost was entangled with Ximen Zhanying, Qi Ning The water thorn stabbed out from behind and penetrated into the back of the water ghost's head.
When Ximen Zhanying saw Qi Ning, he made a gesture under the water, telling Qining to leave quickly. Qi Ning also made a gesture, telling Ximen Zhanying to follow him. At this moment, he saw four or five people appearing next to him. The figure is all surrounded by water. It is the group of water ghosts who came to support.
The other party had a large number of people and had dispersed. Even the two men who were digging the boat under the boat noticed that the situation had changed, so they abandoned the boat and headed towards Qining.
At this moment, two more figures emerged from the side. It was Zhou Shun and Li Tang who arrived in time. They approached Qining and saw that seven or eight people had gathered around Qining. Living nearby, Li Tang immediately made a gesture to signal Qining to evacuate quickly, and he and Li Tang resisted.
Qi Ning shook his head and made a gesture, but he said that he would catch all these water ghosts in one go.
Although the opponent had a large number of people, Zhou Shun and others saw Qining's confidence and their morale was greatly boosted. The four of them made gestures to each other, working in pairs, and without saying much, they directed their faces at the water ghosts. Went over.
For a while, the two sides were entangled with each other underwater. Although these water ghosts have excellent water properties and excellent equipment, their martial arts are mediocre after all. Both their movements and reactions are weaker. Even so, they possess water after all. Taking advantage of each other, the two sides were entangled with each other for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.
Qi Ning killed another person under the water. The blood was mixed with the river water. For a while, the situation nearby could not be seen clearly. At this moment, he saw a water ghost approaching beside him. This water ghost was also holding a piece of water in his hand. Stab, but not Qining, but stabbed at the black robe on Qining's back.
Qi Ning twisted around, dodged, and stabbed back with the water thorn in his hand. Who knew that the water ghost's movements were extremely flexible and he dodged easily. Qi Ning was a little surprised. He took a closer look and saw the body of the water ghost. Wearing a tight-fitting swimsuit, her slender waist and pert hips are revealed while swimming. Although she wears a headband made of fish skin, only a pair of eyes are exposed, but she can tell at a glance that she is a woman.
The body curves of this female water ghost are extremely sexy, and her delicate body is flexible. When her legs are retracted and extended, those wonderful curves are fully exposed.
Qi Ning didn't expect that there was a woman among these water ghosts. At this time, he didn't care whether the other party was a man or a woman. When he saw the other party stabbing the black robe on his back with the water ghost again, he twisted his body and used the water ghost in his hand. The water thorns came towards him, and the two water thorns crossed each other. The female water ghost was about to retract her arm, but Qining twisted her hand. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to open the water thorns in the female water ghost's hand, but who knew? The female water ghost didn't let go, and her sexy body turned in a circle. Her movements were flexible, voluptuous and graceful, and she really looked like a mermaid.
