Imperial Treasure

Chapter 544 - 355: River God_2

The boatman was utterly triumphant, as if he had the winning ticket in hand. He behaved as if they were the victorious ones, provoking Skinny Waist, whose temper was already foul, to the point of shooting up in anger, slapping the old man’s face with a backhand and sneering, "Scram with your damned River God, trying to scare us, huh? If you’ve got the guts, call that River God out!"

Skinny Waist had intended to kill the man, but Second Master Gong stopped him, "A cautious man will sail a ship for ten thousand years, we’ll talk after we reach the shore..."

"Shore? You’re not getting to the shore... The River God is already here..."

The boatman laughed with a sense of control, annoying Second Master Gong, who was about to give the other side a taste of his own medicine..

Ah!

A sudden scream pressed down. Everyone turned their heads and saw some survivors in the place they had attacked before, like those who had dived to escape... They should have been hiding under the deck. After all, they were in the middle of the river, and swimming back would likely cost them their skin, so they only wanted to lay low temporarily, keeping a low profile until Second Master Gong and his group left, not knowing...

Splash!

At that moment, amidst the splashing water, only a flailing hand of the screaming person was visible before he disappeared with a swoosh, as if he had been dragged away, but the water quickly turned blood-red.

"What is that?.." Second Master Gong and his people were extremely shocked, but then suddenly..

Splash

The two boatmen seized the opportunity to jump into the water, swimming away like fish, while the three boats carrying Second Master Gong and his group remained motionless. Everyone on the boats was restless,

Second Master Gong gestured for everyone to stay calm, while he himself stood at the bow, holding the boat paddle tightly, his eyes shooting sharp light, fixedly staring at the water below.

"Look, that shadow!"

Visible to the naked eye, under the clear water reflecting the blue sky, with waterweeds extending endlessly, there was a huge shadow moving back and forth~~

The speed was fast, and they weren’t sure if bullets could penetrate the water and kill the creature. If it attacked desperately, they would be the ones to suffer.

Everyone was silent, gripping their weapons tightly, knowing that if this giant fish were to capsize their boat, they would have to fight to the death.

The fish swam back and forth underwater but didn’t leave.

From a distance of twenty meters, Second Master Gong saw, the boat where Sui Yi was located lay steady like a flat boat, silent, and the woman standing at the bow was even quieter.

He caught Sui Yi’s eye and gestured to her.

Sui Yi shook her head and pointed to a spot.

Huh?

It was a small boat caught between them, with many people dead on it, heavy with the stench of blood.

Sure enough, a huge shadow was lurking underneath the boat..

Boom!

That boat was suddenly overturned by a violent impact, and the corpses rolled out. From Sui Yi’s direction and from Second Master Gong and his group’s direction, they could see that one of the biggest man’s bodies was flung out, seemingly followed by a huge fish head—a fish head disproportionately large, somewhat resembling an oversized man-eating fish with rows of white, sharply arrayed teeth, which snapped and plunged the corpse into the water with a crunch.

With just a fleeting glimpse, everyone’s hearts fluttered with unease.

The fish head was big enough to swallow a tiger whole.

They hoped those corpses would satisfy the monstrous fish’s appetite.

After a while.

"Has it gone?" Skinny Waist whispered quietly, "San Niang, aren’t you good at listening? Listen up!"

"Damn it, I listen to sounds in the air, how could I be so good underwater... Wait. No good! The bottom of the boat!"

Just as she screamed...

Second Master Gong and the others jumped, going on high alert. However, it wasn’t their boat that moved, but another one...

Boom!

The boat carrying Yhan Qingwu and her companions was struck violently and overturned!

With a splash, the line of people either fell directly into the water or leapt up with Qinggong expertise.

And the underwater shadow... approached!

Whoosh! The quickest to emerge was Yhan Qingwu. With a light step on the board, she leaped forward, flicking her wrist. A glint of silver flashed as she released a thin Meteor Lock Chain with a hook at its end, which was supposed to embed into a cliff or another substance, but now Sui Yi caught the chain with his fingers and pulled, sweeping Yhan Qingwu toward himself. The other hand didn’t stop moving; she sent a Flying Dart shooting at the giant fish as it neared Feng Sha beneath the surface of the water!

Plunge!

It pierced directly into the fish’s flesh. Maybe due to the pain, the giant fish swiped its tail, abandoning the attack on Feng Sha. At that moment, Second Master Gong and his group also fired bullets into the water...

The giant fish dived deeper.

"Get up!"

"Come up quickly!"

"I feel that thing is still down there..."

Feng Sha and the others did not dare to go deep and swam beneath the water surface, quickly boarding the other ships~~

But just as Feng Sha got on the boat, he heard...

"Help!"

"Help!"

A large, pudgy man was floundering at the water surface, swimming faster than anyone knew a fat man could...

"It’s that damn fatso! This guy’s underwater skills are formidable, being able to hold his breath for so long!"

"That fatso is an inside man, dammit!"

Just as they were about to stand by and watch... Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu were already rowing their boat over...

What was she going to do?

The boat quickly approached, and the giant fish seemed to be eyeing them with a predator’s intensity, not leaving but rather showing some curiosity toward these people who were approaching... What were they up to?

"Save me, female knight-errant, save me!" the fat man shouted...

Sui Yi did not look at him but stood at the most attack-vulnerable bow, extending an arm, slightly bending at the waist, and tapped the Demon Que three times on the deck before slowly immersing it into the water.

What was this for?

Oddly, everyone felt an eerie silence, and a sense of... ritual.

Yhan Qingwu watched from behind, her gaze flickering.

At this moment, Sui Yi... gave her a palpable sense of trepidation.

After a while, the giant fish suddenly turned away, abandoning the fat man... and swam off for good this time, as the shadow vanished on the water’s surface...

The crowd fell silent again.
