As soon as Mu Xiyun picked up Feng'er, she heard Gu Qingqiao's voice coming from the corridor: "Ayun!"
Before he could get out of the cabin door, Gu Qingqiao had already rushed in from the corridor. Seeing him holding the child, he hurriedly took the two upstairs.
"Come on, there is saltpeter mixed in the paper making the boat, they will set the boat on fire soon!"
While speaking, the two had swept to the stairs, but suddenly heard a "duh" sound. A rocket was fired far from the shore, and it was rightly nailed to the bulkhead of the stairwell.
The cardboard was barely touched, and the bulkhead immediately burst into flames.
The paper mixed with saltpeter was easy to ignite, and the sea breeze was strong at this time, and the fire spread to the entire deck in a moment.
The heat wave came, and the flames burned into the stairs. Gu Qingqiao turned around, blocked the fire with his back, and pushed Mu Xiyuan, who was holding the child, into the corridor. The smell of burnt hair came from the end, and the fire quickly spread to the downstairs.
Mu Xiyun hugged Feng'er and kicked open a cabin door. During the search just now, he already knew the layout of the cabins on this floor. The cabin is on the outermost side of this layer, and a fake window is drawn on the outer bulkhead.
Mu Xiyun drew his sword and swung it towards the outer wall, cutting a large mouth in three or two strokes.
Gu Qingqiao stretched out his head and shouted "Qin Le!"
Qin Le and the boat are not far under the "window". He had been on the boat, waiting for the two to come out, but suddenly he saw a fire on the deck. He wanted to get on the boat to help, but he was afraid that Mu Xiyun and the others would not find him when they came out.
Gu Qingqiao retracted his head and let Mu Xiyun go first. The fire had spread to the cabin where they were, and the paper figures of tables and chairs at the door were engulfed in the sea of fire. The paper boat was shaking so badly that it was about to fall apart. Feng'er was too frightened to speak, she burrowed her little head into Mu Xiyun's arms.
Mu Xiyun glanced at Gu Qingqiao, and immediately took the child and rushed out of the window, landing firmly on the boat.
Qin Le has disconnected the boat from the paper boat, and rowed the boat a little further away, just waiting for Guqing Bridge to jump off. Mu Xiyun put down the child, raised her head, and stared at the "window" tightly.
The figure of Gu Qingqiao flickered in front of the window, and had already jumped over the edge of the window. Mu Xiyuan raised her head, and the corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.
The next moment, there was a loud "bang", and there was something hidden in the ship, and an explosion occurred at this moment. A huge airflow suddenly spreads around with the paper boat as the center. Qin Le's boat was too close, and was thrown into the air by the air current, and the three of them fell into the sea by surprise. Immediately afterwards, the huge waves rolled, pushing the three of them far away.
Mu Xiyun fell into the water, and the salty sea water spread in his mouth. Qingqiao! Is he out
Not far from the water, Qin Le fluttered to the surface of the water, but he couldn't maintain his floating state. After struggling twice, he sank again. Feng'er was fine, although she was frightened by the explosion, but after all, she was a child who grew up by the sea, and she fell into the sea at this moment, so self-protection was not a problem.
Mu Xiyun suppressed his worries, swam to Qin Le, grabbed one of his arms, and brought him out of the water.
The paper boat has sunk, and the sea is a mess, with charred confetti and wooden boards floating around. The boat they stole was overturned by the huge waves, and at this time it was upside down and floated not far from the two of them.
Mu Xiyun supported Qin Le and swam to the boat, and Feng'er followed closely behind him.
The two worked together to turn the boat over and put Feng'er on it first.
Qin Le was crawling towards the boat when Feng'er suddenly stood up from the cabin, stared wide-eyed, and anxiously pointed to the distant sea.
At this time, Mu Xiyun also realized that something was wrong, but it was in the opposite direction to what Feng'er was pointing. Where the paper boat sank, there were actually red splashes of water, and a strong smell of blood rushed to my face.
Mu Xiyun only felt a buzz, and for a moment, his mind went blank. "What is that, is it blood? Whose blood is it?"
After letting go of the fingers on the side of the boat, Mu Xiyuan dazedly paddled into the water twice, intending to swim towards the bloody water.
Someone grabbed his shoulders behind him, Qin Le violently pulled Mu Xiyun out of the water.
A large mouth of blood suddenly emerged from the water and slammed into the place where Mu Xiyun was just now. That's a shark!
The shark took a bite, turned around quickly in the water, and bit Mu Xiyun's calf hanging on the side of the boat.
Mu Xiyun had already woken up at this time, worry weighed heavily on her heart, and she looked at the greedy mouth in front of her, and a burst of anger welled up in her heart.
Qin Le was in a hurry just now, and pulled Mu Xiyun onto the boat, his arms were sore and detached, and he sat in the cabin gasping for breath. He looked at Mu Xiyuan in surprise. A few bloodshots appeared in the usually indifferent eyes of Xianjun Baiyi. He waved his sword and drew his sword, and his spiritual power crackled in his hand, and the sword body burst into white light due to the excessive input of spiritual power.
The shark rushed in, the sword swung down, and the greedy shark immediately headed off.
Feng'er pulled the hem of Mu Xiyun's clothes and pointed anxiously to the back, where a large number of sharks were swimming on the sea. The blood leaked from the paper boat stimulated their nerves, and they all rushed towards the paper boat frantically.
"Qin Le, open the diamond formation and send Feng'er home." Mu Xiyun said solemnly.
After he finished speaking, he threw the long sword, and the man had Yujian hanging on the sea, and slowly pulled out the soft sword from his waist.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing?" Qin Le shouted anxiously.
Mu Xiyun glanced at him calmly, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. "Let's go, send Feng'er back, and remember not to disturb the people in the village."
The group of sharks rushed in, Mu Xiyun slashed out with a palm, and the palm wind pushed the boat several meters away.
"Senior Brother Mu!" Qin Le shouted wildly, and saw more than a hundred sharks swimming densely. The originally swaying sea was crowded with smooth backs, and the towering dorsal fins were like shining big knives, slashing the sea and rushing forward. .
Several sharks swam close to the boat and came straight to the side of the boat, their bloody mouths opened wide, and they wished they would jump out of the water and swallow the people on the boat.
Qin Le subconsciously followed Mu Xiyun's instructions and opened the diamond formation. The shark that rushed in front slammed into the formation, and its mouth was almost split in half, and blood flowed, but the two sharks in the back completely ignored the flesh and blood in front of them and still rushed straight towards the boat.
Feng'er was so frightened that she cried and shrank in the stern tremblingly.
Only then did Qin Le realize that these sharks were all aimed at Feng'er. Every impact was directed at the stern of the boat.
He carefully observed that the pattern on the child's body... isolated the detection of human consciousness, but madly attracted the bloodthirsty instinct of animals.
It turned out to be the case, no wonder the wizard and the village chief of Xiaoshi Village just put Fenger on the boat and didn't care. Without them today, even if Fenger's family could save him from the fire, he would still be eaten by sharks. This is the real blood sacrifice!
The foot shook, and three sharks swam. The five behemoths slammed into the diamond formation outside the ship frantically, and the formation was almost unstoppable.
"Let's go!" Mu Xiyuan slapped the boat again, pushing the boat farther. The sharks that were attacking the boat got too far away, they forgot about Feng'er, turned their heads and swam towards the bloody part of the paper boat.
The range of the spell on Feng'er is limited!
Qin Le breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mu Xiyuan who was already fighting with the sharks over there, finally made up his mind and shouted, "Senior Brother Mu, I'll be right back to help you!" Shot like an arrow to the shore.
Mu Xiyun held the soft sword in his hand and drew in front of him, and a bright white straight line appeared on the sea surface. It was a line of induction formed by spiritual power. Any shark that attacked this line would immediately perceive it and ruthlessly. beheaded.
The gust of wind blew, and the black hair of the white-clothed immortal swayed like a wild snake. His normally innocent face was icy cold at this moment. He was not a murderer, but at this moment, no one would doubt the killing intent on his face.
Mu Xiyun's Yujian blocked the bloody water, and looked firmly at the shark in front of him. From their eyes, he saw endless madness and greed.
No matter whether the person behind him is alive or dead, no one can touch him except me!
Mu Xiyuan took a deep breath, and the soft sword flew up and down like a dragon. The sharks were cut in the waist, and the blood splattered, staining his white clothes red.
The sword light reappeared, and another batch of sharks had their heads in different places, and the strong smell of blood filled their noses. While Mu Xiyun was fighting against the sharks, he was still in the waters behind him. Qingqiao, where are you
The bodies of sharks were in front of them, and most of the sharks had their belly swollen, and the sea water was dyed blood red.
Behind him, the relatively calm water suddenly turned up a small splash, one hand stretched out of the water, the back of the hand was charred black, covered with scorched blisters, shocking.
"Qingqiao!" Mu Xiyun sensed it immediately, the sword kept falling, he turned around to kill two sharks, Yu Jian stepped back, and rushed towards the hand.
The moment he saw the hand, Mu Xiyun's eyes tightened suddenly, then he bent down and stretched out his hand, holding it firmly in his hand.
It felt cold to the touch. If the hand hadn't been stretched out from the water, Mu Xiyuan would have almost suspected that he was holding a corpse.
A giant shark suddenly swam close, and opened its bloody mouth to bite the two of them. Mu Xiyun scooped up people with one hand and a sword with the other, the soft sword trembled and pointed straight to the tip of the shark's nose.
The shark's skin was thick and thick, and the tip of the soft sword couldn't hurt it, but Mu Xiyuan didn't care about it. The soft sword supported on the tip of the shark's nose and bounced up, just to bring Gu Qingqiao out of the water.
The goal has been achieved, Mu Xiyun is no longer reluctant to fight, and flew directly to the coast with Gu Qingqiao.
He landed and retracted his sword, Mu Xiyun staggered under his feet. The shark battle just now kept on wielding the sword again. Both physical and spiritual power were almost exhausted. Now that he was out of danger, he suddenly felt his hands and feet were sore and exhausted.
He didn't care about his own discomfort, and quickly checked the people around him.
Gu Qingqiao was covered in blood, half of his body was charred black, and his left hand and left cheek were covered in blisters. After soaking in sea water for a long time, the wound was a mess.
The wind by the sea was so strong that it blew her eyes, so Mu Xiyun didn't turn her head away.
The hand was held gently, and the palm had countless wounds and fine calluses, as well as dry gravel, which made people feel a pain in their hearts.
"Hey, I'm fine." Gu Qingqiao said softly. He tried his best to pull out a smile, but he gasped because of the wound on his face.
"Don't talk!" Mu Xiyun interrupted him. Involuntarily, he shot a few cleansing tricks and pain-relieving spells first, and then fed him an elixir for healing and protecting his heart. Only then did he check his injuries with trembling hands.
Gu Qingqiao's injury does not appear to be serious.
Because it was not at the center of the explosion at the time, the cardboard on board was not too strong to cause major internal injuries. The burns on one side of the body were real, and the outer robe was burnt to black, and it fell to ashes rustling when touched. The inner skirt was covered in blood, and it was tightly attached to the skin. If it were to be peeled off, I was afraid that even the skin would be torn off. With the blisters on the hands and the face, it looks very scary.
Mu Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, slowly helped him up, and asked, "Can you stand up?"
Gu Qingqiao's hand gently touched the corner of his eye, and there was still a little dampness there, "Don't be afraid, I'm really fine."
A figure flashed in the distance, and Mu Xiyun raised her head alertly, but it was Qin Le.
Qin Le ran blushing and panting. He didn't expect to see two people on the beach. He couldn't help being overjoyed and came over to help.
Mu Xiyuan fought a fierce battle, and her body was still losing strength. At this moment, they were holding Gu Qingqiao, and both of them were shaking a little. Qin Le simply squatted down, carried Gu Qingqiao on his back, and trotted back to the inn.
When I got back to my room, it was almost midnight. Mu Xiyun placed Gu Qingqiao on the bed, and asked Xiao Er to bring hot water, so he wanted to clean up Gu Qingqiao's wound.
"No, I'll do it myself." Gu Qingqiao blushed a little.
Mu Xiyun glanced at him, and there was a hint of refusal in his cold eyes.
Seeing him so persistent, Gu Qingqiao had no choice but to lie still.
With a clean cloth dipped in hot water, he slowly peeled off the clothes attached to his body, revealing his muscular but scarred body. The soft cloth towel brushed past, and a few strands of Mu Xiyuan's long hair fell down and fell beside Gu Qingqiao's cheek. He tilted his head slightly, his lips brushed the end of the smooth hair, Gu Qingqiao only felt a cluster of sparks spread from the hair, burning his face, and then burning his whole body.
Aware of the heat of the skin under her hands, Mu Xiyuan looked at Gu Qingqiao with some doubts. His eyes stayed on his red face for a moment, as if he understood something, his hands froze.
Pretending to turn her head nonchalantly, Mu Xiyuan asked, "Xiao Le, how's it going with Feng'er?"
Qin Le was sitting at the table at this time, holding a few steamed buns from nowhere and stuffing them into his mouth. Hearing this, he raised his head, swallowed a mouthful of buns, and stammered to explain.
Qin Le took Feng'er back to the shore, and ran wild with him again. He was clever, and when he was far away from the village, he opened a small invisibility barrier and hid Feng'er in a broken boat by the sea. Feng'er's mother was still crying on the beach at that time, and her family didn't care about her. Qin Le stopped her to explain for a long time before letting the woman understand that her child was not dead.
It was impossible for the mother and son to live in the village, so Qin Le gave the woman some money and told her to take the child away quickly.
"Well, are you gone?" Mu Xiyun took back the cloth towel, put it in the water basin, and began to apply medicine to Gu Qingqiao.
"Let's go." Qin Le took another bite of the steamed bun. "It was said that there were relatives in Xixixi. I watched them pack up and leave the village before I hurried to find you."
Mu Xiyun turned around and smiled, "Thank you!"
His smile was like a bright moon in the sky, and Qin Le felt that the gentle and indifferent Xiao Xianjun had returned, as if Mu Xiyuan, who was hanging his sword above the sea wave today, was just a momentary illusion.
"A Yun," Gu Qingqiao, who was lying on the bed, said at this time, "You are exhausted today."
No need to ask, the moment he was pulled out of the water by Mu Xiyun, Gu Qingqiao saw a scene on the sea that was comparable to hell on earth. He closed his eyes, and Mu Xiyun's sideburns were slightly scattered, and the redness of his eyes was still vivid in his mind.
Gu Qingqiao smiled and persuaded: "I'm fine, you go to rest."
After looking at the wounds on Gu Qingqiao's body again, Mu Xiyun nodded with confidence and walked out of the room with Qin Le.
Gu Qingqiao watched the two go out of the room, frowned, couldn't bear it any longer, and lowered his head to spit out a mouthful of blood.
