Strangely enough, the "bloody water" in the bone bowl splashed into the Yellow River, and the originally rushing river suddenly calmed down.
But this calm only lasted for a few seconds, and then huge whirlpools began to appear on the river.
The vortex is approaching the freighter little by little, and the huge freighter will be swept into the huge waves in an instant.
The sky became even gloomier, and people were suffocated by the darkness. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it looked the same as at seven or eight o'clock in the winter, with no light at all.
Lightning shuttles through the dark clouds, like a swimming dragon, showing its claws to people from time to time, bringing fear to those who see it.
After a while, heavy raindrops began to fall, hitting my face painfully.
I took a long breath and wiped the rain off my face with my hands.
Then, I heard Lao Li say in a low voice, "Da Liu, tell Lao Wu to stop the boat and anchor. That guy is coming."
"That guy is here? Who is here?" Hearing what Lao Li said, I couldn't help but be surprised.
The crew members obviously knew what Lao Li was talking about. After Lao Li finished speaking, they all clung to the side of the ship tightly. Several crew members standing on the bow even tied their waists with ropes. .
Seeing them do this, I followed suit and hugged the mast next to me.
And just when I hugged the mast, the freighter suddenly shook violently, and then, waves of impacts came from the bottom of the ship.
I was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "There is something at the bottom of the boat! It seems to be hitting our boat! Lao Li, please think of a way! If this continues, the boat will be sunk by him!"
Mr. Li heard me shouting and didn't answer. He just glanced at me coldly, and then turned his eyes to the turbid river water.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
The collisions were getting heavier and more frequent. If I hadn't hugged the mast tightly, I would have been thrown into the Yellow River.
"What on earth is hitting the boat?" I shouted at Lao Li.
Lao Li still didn't answer me, and a middle-aged bearded crew member next to him said: "Dragon King! It's the Dragon King!"
"What? Dragon King?" Hearing what the bearded crewman said, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Is there really a Dragon King in this world?"
Lao Li glanced at me and said in a hoarse voice: "Little brother, this world is far more complicated and dangerous than you think..."
When Lao Li said this, the crashing sounds suddenly stopped, and then, two red lights suddenly flashed on the dark river.
The two red lights were about seven or eight meters away from the freighter, floating in the air like lanterns.
Seeing those two red lights, Lao Li suddenly became energetic and said to the crew around him: "Brothers, be prepared, the Iron-headed Dragon King has appeared."
"What? Iron-headed Dragon King?" When I heard these four words, I was stunned, and then I remembered what Guo Yichi said to me before, "They brought things they shouldn't have, so... ...I chose to walk on the Yellow River because I would meet the Iron-headed Dragon King..."
Thinking of Guo Yichi's words, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "Could it be that what Lao Li just did was to lure out the Iron-Headed Dragon King? No wonder Guo Yichi said at that time, it won't be long before I see it myself. This Iron-Headed Dragon King, it turns out that this old guy had already predicted that they would have this skill. From this point of view, that blind man Guo Yichi is really not simple!"
Thinking of this, I hurriedly let go of the mast and ran forward two steps. I grabbed the side of the ship on the left side and followed the example of other crew members and tied it around my waist with a three-finger thick hemp rope to prevent myself from accidentally bumping around. Fall into the water.
After doing this, I turned sideways and looked into the water.
At this moment, a big man rushed to my side and slapped me hard. I turned around and found that the person who came was actually Xiong Ming.
I looked at Xiong Ming and asked in surprise: "Why did you run up here?"
Xiong Ming grinned and said excitedly: "Why is there such a big excitement without me?"
I said, "Do you know what happened? You just ran over to watch the fun."
Xiong Ming smiled and said, "It's just because I don't know what happened, so I came to see the fun. I said Hu Tian, what happened?"
I said: "I don't know exactly what happened. I just know that there is some kind of Iron-headed Dragon King in the water."
Xiong Ming couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the words "Iron-Headed Dragon King". He grinned and asked, "Hu Tian, is what you said true? The one who collided with the boat under the water just now... was the Iron-headed Dragon King?" "
I looked at Xiong Ming in surprise and said, "Are you going crazy?"
Xiong Ming said excitedly: "Do you know what the Iron-headed Dragon King is?"
I asked doubtfully: "What is it? I have never heard of that thing. If that blind man Guo Yichi mentions it today, I have never heard of it before."
Xiong Ming said: "You kid really doesn't study or read newspapers. You don't know anything. The Iron-headed Dragon King is actually not a real dragon, it is just a big fish at best. Do you know about the Chinese Sturgeon?"
I nodded and said, "Of course I know about the Chinese sturgeon, but I have never eaten it!"
Xiong Mingzhao pinched Yahuazi and whispered in my ear: "This Iron-headed Dragon King is actually the Chinese Sturgeon."
I asked in surprise: "How do you know this?"
Xiong Ming said with a smile: "I had a girlfriend a few years ago. She grew up by the Yellow River. One year I came home with her. The two of us met the Iron-headed Dragon King once on the Yellow River. She and I Said."
I smiled and said, "You still have this experience, how come I don't know about it?"
The bear understood me and said: "There are so many fucking things you don't know. Don't interrupt and talk about serious things!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, okay! I won't interrupt!"
Xiong Ming continued seriously: "Those who run boats on the Yellow River are all superstitious. They say that the Iron-headed Dragon King is a transformation of the river god. It is not seen at ordinary times. It only comes out when there is a flood. If it were not for the flood, we would see the Iron-headed Dragon King." Head Dragon King, it’s probably because someone on the boat violated the Dragon King’s taboo. The Dragon King came out to take people’s lives. Only by throwing the guilty people on the boat into the river and appeasing the Dragon King’s anger can we cross the river safely. Otherwise, a boatload of people will never cross this Yellow River in their lifetime."
I looked at Xiong Ming and asked, "Then how did you pass the test smoothly last time you went home with your girlfriend?"
Xiong Ming looked at me, and after a while he sighed and said, "The boatman threw his little daughter into the river, and we survived."
"What?" I was stunned when I heard what Xiong Ming said. After a long time, I said loudly: "You are a soldier. How could you allow such a thing to happen?"
Xiong Ming looked at me and said: "I didn't expect the boatman to do such a thing. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation, not to mention..."
Before Xiong Ming finished speaking, the door of the cabin was suddenly pushed open, and then six people carried two women and walked out.
I know both of these women, one is named Yang'er, and the other is one of the four people I met in Guose Tianxiang Pavilion before. I remember her name is Feng'er.
Both women were seen wearing red tulle without underwear. Their perfect body curves looked particularly attractive against the tulle.
They were being carried, their long and tight legs were hugged outside, and their fair and tight skin was still eye-catching even in such darkness.
Their legs are very white, but their faces are even whiter. There is almost no trace of blood on the white photo paper.
Their mouths were wrapped with scotch tape and they couldn't make a sound.
Two silver-white hooks passed through their lower abdomens, and streams of blood gushed out from them, as if the bright red clothes on their bodies were dyed red with this blood.
I looked at them, and they looked at me, with tears falling down their cheeks.
They couldn't speak, but their eyes told me that they didn't want to die and wanted me to save them.
But before I had time to speak, sailor Liu Ming, who was carrying the two of them, suddenly threw it hard. Then, I saw two perfect red parabolas streaking through the air. Soon there were two "plop, plop" sounds on the water. Voice.
I asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Xiong Ming stopped me, lowered his voice and said in my ear: "They are making sacrifices."
I asked in confusion: "Sacrifice? Use human sacrifice?"
Xiong Ming looked at me and said, "Which one is more cost-effective to exchange the lives of two people for the lives of a boatload of people?"
Xiong Ming's words made me speechless for a moment, "Yes! Which one is more cost-effective? Is it more cost-effective to kill the majority with a few? Or is it more cost-effective for everyone to wait to die together? Human nature! This is human nature!"
But at this moment, Xiong Ming suddenly pushed me.
I came back to my senses, looked at Xiong Ming and said, "What's wrong?"
Xiong Ming frowned and said: "They don't seem to be offering sacrifices. They... they are fishing... these guys want to catch the Iron-Headed Dragon King!"
I asked in surprise: "What? Do they want to capture that iron-headed dragon king alive?"
Xiong Ming said and pointed toward the water, and I looked in the direction of Xiong Ming's finger. I saw that the two women in red were lifted up shortly after falling into the water. It turned out that there were two extremely tough fishing lines tied to their bodies, and the silver-white hooks turned out to be fishhooks.
The two girls were dropped two meters away from the cargo ship. Due to excessive blood loss, the two of them lost consciousness at this time and only twitched occasionally instinctively.
No one spoke. I originally wanted to say something, but my mouth was covered by Xiong Ming who was standing next to me.
Xiong Ming whispered in my ear: "If you want to survive, don't speak."
I nodded slightly, and Xiong Ming let go of his hand.
I lay on the edge of the boat and looked into the water. There was nothing in the water, only the rotating water, hitting the side of the boat one after another.
Time passed like this, and everyone on the deck had their hearts in their throats.
No one knows what will happen in the next second, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second.
Just like that, all of us waited for about two or three minutes. Suddenly, a huge wave suddenly appeared in the water, and then there was a big splash. A black shadow more than ten meters long jumped out of the water and bit into it. On those two girls.
