From far to near, the huge waves instantly swept into the sea the boat that had thought it was a clever trick and escaped in front, causing a thunderous sound that made everyone's eardrums tremble.
Those boats that were hit first were swallowed up instantly without even screaming or struggling.
Sea Dog watched this scene with tears in his eyes, and his shouts to the crew members became more and more urgent and loud.
A few sailors behind were desperately filling the stove with coal, wiping their hands, shovels hitting shovels, making desperate gasps and the sound of metal friction.
Even the steam engine that was constantly beating made a heart-wrenching sound.
But these sounds were quickly covered up by the terrifying sounds swept by the waves. Soon, shadows were projected on the faces of Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu, covering their figures like the falling of night.
"Liu Banxian, try that baby of yours!" Yin Xiu shouted.
"But I have only used it in a small pond before, and there is a vast ocean in front of me! A huge wave eight stories high!" Liu Banxian hesitated.
"There's nothing to hesitate about. If we can't use it, or if it's useless, we'll all die here!"
"Okay!"
Liu Banxian took out a blue flag from the package, with gold and black lines depicting a giant beast that looked like a unicorn and a rhinoceros, making waves on the sea.
It was obtained at an auction before, one of the heirlooms of the Liu family in Wollongong, one of the three five-element flags - the Dragon King's Water Control Order!
Liu Banxian stood up straight, muttered something in his mouth, and waved violently at the huge waves in front of him.
In an instant, golden light burst out, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard endlessly.
Everyone's eyes were dazzled, as if they saw a ferocious giant beast suddenly jumping out from the command flag and leaping in front of their eyes.
Then the wave receded and the waves subsided.
The huge waves that originally fell like mountains suddenly subsided, and only the weak tide was left to lift the Black Widow and the remaining pirate ships around it, like a child holding a toy in his hand.
"Sea Dragon King!?"
Everyone's expressions changed when they looked at Liu Banxian. They didn't take him seriously before, but now they all looked up to him with respect.
Even the shock of watching his companions being chopped up by Yin Xiu and Ren Qi could not compare to the admiration of watching Liu Banxian calm down the stormy waves in an instant.
Powerful! Unrivaled power! Power beyond power!
There were already pirates kneeling on the bed, kowtowing to Liu Banxian, and reciting a series of Buddhist names and honorifics that they heard from nowhere.
"It's a bit exaggerated." Ma Xiaoyu whispered.
"You mean their reaction to Liu Banxian?" Yin Xiu asked.
"No," Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "I'm talking about whether Liu Banxian's move is very similar to those legendary immortal powers. For example, raising his hand can cause the sea to separate from the middle. With a single finger of the sword, he can command The rivers stopped flowing.”
"So, he should be more than a half-immortal." Yin Xiu touched his chin.
"What, are you going to call him Liu Shenxian in the future?" Ma Xiaoyu blinked.
"That's not good. If he were Liu Shenxian, wouldn't the two of us become the golden couple beside him?"
"Fuck you! Who is a couple with you?"
Ma Xiaoyu tried to give Yin Xiu an elbow, but even halfway through the move, she couldn't help but laugh.
belch!
Ma Xiaoyu's face turned red and she covered her mouth.
belch! !
"Yes..."
She let go of her hand and turned around to look. Now Yin Xiu's and the others' expressions all changed. Their faces were full of nervousness and surprise.
"Again?"
I don't know who asked this question with trembling, and a wave suddenly exploded on the sea. As a black shadow flashed, a pirate was instantly dragged into the water, and he didn't even have time to scream.
Everyone else around the pirate couldn't help but be stunned. Then, another person was dragged into the tide, bringing up another splash, and then the water surface returned to calm.
Just as the sea calmed down a little, a bombshell exploded among the crowd.
"Master Hong! Master Hong is here again!"
The pirates who originally kowtowed to Liu Banxian turned around and began to kowtow toward the sea, repeating the same set of chants and titles.
"This is getting too fast too."
While Liu Banxian was muttering, another pirate was pulled down.
"Did you see it clearly?" Yin Xiu asked Ren Qi.
Ren Qi nodded, "It's a tentacle, some kind of thick tentacle, or it could be a snake, red, as thick as bamboo."
"You can see everything clearly?"
Liu Banxian took off his sunglasses and wiped his eyes with his sleeves, but he still couldn't see clearly how the next pirate disappeared.
"How did you see it?" He still felt unbelievable.
Ren Qi just replied calmly: "Since I was twelve years old, I have swung my sword six hundred times a day, regardless of wind or rain, cold or summer. These six hundred swords have improved my sword skills and sharpened my sword skills." Eyes.
Two months ago, I suddenly found that I saw things very slowly. Even if a fly or a swallow flew by, it seemed to me that it was moving in slow motion.
I thought there was something wrong with my eyes, so I went to see a foreign doctor. After checking, he said that my eyesight was very good, and both eyes were 5:0.
After that, I realized that it wasn't that I was seeing things slower and slower, but that my sword was getting faster and faster. ”
As he spoke, Ren Qi suddenly took action, grabbed one of the swords on his back, and swung it forward.
Liu Banxian only felt a coldness brushing past his ears. While a few strands of hair were cut off, a red tentacle as thick as a bowl suddenly fell on the deck, still twisting.
What Ren Qi said is true!
And if he hadn't taken action, Liu Banxian might have been dragged into the sea in an instant like those pirates before.
Yin Xiu stepped forward and looked at the red tentacles that were constantly squirming and gradually losing activity, and finally understood what the "Red Master" those pirates were talking about.
"It's an octopus, a huge octopus."
Ma Xiaoyu raised her head, "In the ports of Malaysia, sometimes when fishermen lower their nets, they will catch octopus the size of a millstone. They stay in the net, eat all the fish, and then cleverly escape."
"That's right."
The sea dog also looked solemn, "There are all kinds of strange things in the sea. I have heard that some sailors will drift to desert islands when they are in trouble.
Just when they thought they were in trouble and could only wait for someone to rescue them, when they woke up the next day, the desert island suddenly appeared near the port, saving them from a desperate situation.
Later, some people speculated that those so-called desert islands were actually the backs of huge sea turtles, with soil piled on them and vegetation growing out of them. ”
"Then this Mr. Hong must be a huge octopus?" Liu Banxian asked.
"Maybe it's an octopus, maybe it's not, but what I know for sure right now is that it's angrier than before."
Yin Xiu looked at the sea below the boat. At this time, it was like boiling water in a pot. Bubbles and white smoke began to rise upwards. It was as if there was really a burning stove that was baking them on it. .
The sound coming from under the sea no longer sounded like hiccups, but some kind of thunderous rolling sound that made people shiver.
One has to wonder whether they are not at sea, but somewhere in the clouds, facing the coming thunderstorm. Boom!
This time everyone saw it clearly. Three huge tentacles came out of the sea, stood up high, and then slapped down like bamboo poles. A pirate ship immediately disintegrated under such a slap, breaking into two pieces. All the pirates on the bed fell into it. in the water.
Almost as soon as they fell into the water, before these people could call for help, something seemed to drag them down, and they suddenly disappeared, leaving only a string of bubbles floating in that position.
It seemed that Mr. Hong was probably bigger than Yin Xiu and the others thought, although they were not sure how huge the thing under the sea was.
"Emperor, shall we continue to use more power to escape?" Sea Dog asked.
Yin Xiu shook his head, "The sea is a place of adventure for us, and it is a back garden. Can we run with two legs than those with so many legs?
And right now, I'm afraid we haven't left its side yet. No matter how hard this boat goes, in the end we are just Sun Wukong in the hands of Buddha, and we can't escape. ”
"What should we do?" Sea Dog has fallen into despair.
While the two were talking, two more small boats were dragged into the sea by the huge tentacles and disappeared without a trace.
In the blink of an eye, only two or three small boats were left in the originally mighty fleet, floating on the boundless and turbulent sea, looking extremely helpless.
"How about we dive into the water, find the main body directly, and kill that Mr. Hong?"
Ma Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with cold light, obviously she didn't want to sit still and wait for death.
"If you want to go, you can just go, I won't go." Ren Qi crossed his hands.
"Well, are you scared?" Ma Xiaoyu was a little surprised.
"No."
"Then why? You don't have this kind of confidence? Are the so-called guards with swords afraid of an octopus?" Ma Xiaoyu chased him and asked.
"I'm not afraid of anything."
After a pause, Ren Qi turned away, "I can't swim."
"..."
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked the seal: "How far is the nearest land from here?"
"It's too late," Sea Dog shook his head, "It's far away. The nearest island takes less than half an hour, and there's absolutely no way to get there."
"I just ask you, how long will it take to see land?"
"See?" Sea Dog repeated with confusion.
"Yes, I saw it!"
Yin Xiu grabbed the sea chart next to him and photographed the sea dog's chest.
Although he still looked confused, Yin Xiu asked him to do this, so he subconsciously took the chart and scanned it quickly.
Charts are simply more important than life to the captain.
So just by looking at it, the sea dogs calculated their current location based on the speed and time.
"In five minutes, as long as the visibility is good, if we drive southeast for five minutes, we can see the nearest island. Although it is thirteen nautical miles away, it is out of reach!"
"I didn't ask you this!"
Yin Xiu stared at him, "Now, go at full speed in that direction, no matter what, hold on for five minutes!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran into the cabin.
"Brother Yin, what are you doing at this time!?" Liu Banxian also shouted in horror.
"Quickly, hold on first! Five minutes!"
Yin Xiu didn't look back and started looking for something in the cabin.
Hearing this, Ren Qi and Ma Xiaoyu didn't need to communicate with each other. They each turned to one side and looked at the sea.
After devouring several pirate ships one after another, several thinner tentacles tentatively attacked, neither attacking the hull nor coming to Ren Qi and Ma Xiaoyu.
Instead, he tried to catch the terrified sailors.
But without exception, they were all shattered by Ma Xiaoyu's spell.
Once he fought in person and looked at the wisps of black energy inspired by the spell, Ma Xiaoyu immediately noticed the clues.
"Master Hong is neither a god nor a giant octopus, he is a monster!"
"Big octopus monster!" Liu Banxian added.
In any case, as long as you know the nature of your opponent, everything will not be so scary.
Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian had both faced their mothers in the Infernal World before, and now they had a certain mentality towards those behemoths, whether they had mana spreading throughout the area or a giant body like Mount Tai. immunity.
So she immediately took out a tube of talisman paper and waved it around, "Dragon God's order, Lei Bu borrows the method to punish evil!"
There was a loud bang, and several thunderbolts shot out from Ma Xiaoyu's fingertips, hitting the exposed tentacles and blowing them to pieces. At the same time, Mr. Hong under the water seemed to have been severely injured, and he became restless. The offensive was temporarily quelled.
Sure enough, for evil spirits, whether they are on the ground or in the water, as long as they are thunder, they are the most terrifying thing. They are restrained in nature and cannot be avoided no matter how much they practice.
At this time, Yin Xiu finally got out of the cabin, holding the long package in one hand and a scarecrow in the other.
The long package was given to him by Caihua Xiong.
The scarecrow comes from Lan Po.
After giving the scarecrow to Ma Xiaoyu, Yin Xiu turned to look at Liu Banxian.
"Liu Banxian, don't you often help people change their lives against the will of heaven? Is there any way now?"
Liu Banxian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Yin, you also know that our fortune tellers like to exaggerate. How can we be so powerful that we can bring a drowned person back to life?"
"I spit! It's great luck! I don't want to be a fish feeder!"
Yin Xiu held the long package in his hands and looked at the sea that was boiling again.
"Now, you and Xiaoyu try to see if you can give that Mr. Hong a birth date."
"What?" Liu Banxian's face was full of disbelief.
"I mean, let Mr. Hong become a [human]! Is there any way?"
"Yes!"
Liu Banxian suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up, "But it takes time."
Ma Xiaoyu also nodded at the same time.
"Is five minutes enough? No, it will be done within five minutes, otherwise we will all prepare to feed the fish."
Yin Xiu tore open the package and finally revealed the strange-shaped sword hidden inside. The cold light shone and pierced everyone's eyes. (End of chapter)
