Water pirate?
Or something else?
Xiang Shu frowned and flicked out a finger of wind. The oil lamp beside the bed went out in an instant, and the room fell into darkness.
Many rooms in the lower cabin have small windows, but hers happens to have none. The strength of the attacker outside is not yet known. If he breaks in and is blocked in the room, the consequences are unpredictable.
With this in mind, Xiang Shu did not rush out. Instead, he continued to listen for a moment to make sure there was no breathing outside the door. Then he reached out and gently lifted the door latch. The wooden door opened a gap and he stepped out.
The corridor was dark. Xiang Shu took a breath and faintly smelled the smell of blood.
She raised her hand and touched the oil lamp on the wall. The lamp base was still hot.
Without staying too long, Xiang Shu quickly escaped from the corridor without making any sound.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Xiang Shu saw two black figures coming towards him. He immediately stepped sideways into the shadow of the moonlight and held his breath.
Two black figures walked quickly past, and the conversation was inaudible.
"The boss said, silence them all, no one will be spared!"
"Have you found the ship boss?"
"I didn't find it. Let's kill the others first."
While the two were talking, they didn't notice any changes in the darkness behind them.
Xiang Shen quietly stood behind the two of them, and his true energy slowly poured into the bone knife, condensing but not emitting.
There are people living on both sides of the cabin.
When they reached the middle corner, the two of them separated to kill each other. They turned to the right and followed until the black figure in front stopped in front of a door and was about to break in. Suddenly, a cold light appeared behind them.
A flash of white light was as fast as electricity, and the sharp knife cut off most of the throat. The black shadow was caught off guard and died instantly.
Xiang Shen helped the man in black who was about to collapse in time, leaned him against the door, and then quickly rushed to the left cabin.
The man in black on the left had just broken through the door and killed one person when he saw a black shadow outside the door.
"Are you done so soon?"
After the man in black finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong and immediately raised his sword to defend, but it was still a step too late.
puff!
The bone knife turned into a ray of white light and came out of his hand. In an instant, it pierced the man in black's eye socket into his head. The powerful impact nailed his identity to the ship's board, making him dead.
Xiang Shu's face turned slightly pale and he took a deep breath.
Excluding the knife holder, this was her first time killing someone, and she killed two in a row.
The feeling of killing someone is completely different from killing a monster.
Without thinking too much, Xiang Shu walked to the corpse, pulled out the bone knife, and left quickly.
Using the moonlight and the shadows created by the cargo, Xiang Yu walked around the first floor of the ship corridor and saw no less than ten corpses. All the shipwrights on duty were brutally murdered, but no other men in black were seen.
During the conversation between the two people, it was clearly revealed that there were other accomplices on the ship, and he was also their leader. Where is this person now?
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu raised his head and looked at the ship's building, inhaling secretly.
The moonlight was bright upstairs, but there was no blind spot for her to hide. If there were too many people on the other side, going up there would be as good as death.
Just jump into the river and escape?
Xiang Yu looked far away, looking at the boundless night on the river.
There is a monster in the river, and everyone in Dushui City knows it. Only a specially-made boat will not be attacked. If she goes down, she will only become the blood of the monster.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Shen showed his decisiveness, lowered his head and gently wiped the blood on the knife, found a deserted corner, and turned upstairs.
The moonlight was shining brightly in the corridor upstairs. Xiang Shu glanced at his own shadow at his feet, then crouched down and touched the Tianzi room.
Not long after marching, an extremely strong smell of blood hit my face.
Xiang Shen glanced up and immediately saw corpses on the ground, no less than twenty at a glance. There were men in black, and there were also guards around the distinguished guest.
Xiang Shu touched the body and found it was still warm, so he must have died not long ago.
Even though she was below the cabin, she shouldn't not be able to hear any sounds of fighting, unless...
"...Manager, even if you kill everyone...what's the use? Give up...you are stubborn..."
Intermittent sounds came from inside the house, Xiang Chuan's heart moved, and he quietly approached until he stopped by the door, and the sounds suddenly became clear.
"This is Du Shui City. There is a big demon in the river. If you ask His Highness to jump, it will only lead to death. Why bother?"
"Ahem... Commander Wang, don't forget that you are the guardian of the Heavenly Family! You are so rebellious and ungrateful, how can you not be afraid of being punished by Heaven?!"
"Hahahaha, God's punishment? What a joke!"
The middle-aged man raised his head and laughed, then his smile faded and he sneered: "Mr. Lu is the one who deserves to be punished by heaven! All the benefits have been taken away by members of your royal family. Not to mention that we, the casual cultivators, have ended up with the title of lackeys. I can’t even drink a sip of soup. You treat me so harshly and you still want me to continue to work hard? I’m dreaming!”
"……you!"
The old servant was so angry that he was shaking all over and could not speak.
The young man who was protected behind him was very angry: "Why bother to accuse me? When has my Lu family ever treated you harshly? You are just greedy and want the opportunity of my Lu family's ancestral land. Don't be pretentious. It's disgusting! "
The middle-aged man was startled, then laughed loudly, "Hahaha... As expected of His Highness, he has a clear mind.
good! It was only after I arrived at Dushuicheng that I figured out that the opportunity for the Lu family's ancestral land lies with you. If Your Highness is wise and chooses to hand over the opportunity to me, I can let you live. "
The young man fell silent immediately after hearing the words. After hesitating for a long time, he hesitated and said: "The commander's words... are you serious?"
"Your Highness, this person must be just talking nonsense and cannot be taken seriously!"
Before the middle-aged man could speak, the old servant became anxious. Regardless of the serious injury, he stumbled towards the middle-aged man and shouted: "Your Highness, go find the boss of the ship. He must have a way to escape. I will buy time!"
"You are discussing in front of me, do you think I am deaf?"
The middle-aged man sneered, facing the old servant who rushed over, but he was not careless at all. He flipped his palm and summoned a tripod-shaped magic weapon to turn into a golden light shield to protect himself. At the same time, he used a palm to slap. Ask the old servant for his life.
"Suffer death!"
The old servant had a ruthless look on his face, but he did not dodge. The purple light in his hand pierced the golden light shield, and the shield shattered in an uproar.
Then he hugged the middle-aged man tightly and shouted, "Your Highness, now!"
The young man was well prepared, and all the condensed true energy was poured into the talisman seal in his palm. In an instant, a ball of fire broke out from the talisman seal, flew half a foot away in the blink of an eye, and struck the two of them.
After issuing this move, the young man's face turned pale, his breath suddenly became weak, and he fell to the ground. For a moment, he had no strength to escape.
"ah!!"
In the light of the fire, the old servant screamed and was burned into ashes and dispersed in the wind.
But the middle-aged man was still struggling to hold on to the protective spiritual shield. His true energy was being consumed crazily. Through the firelight, he stared at the young man, the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidifying.
After the fire lasted for more than ten breaths, it slowly extinguished. The middle-aged man's eyebrows and hair were completely burned, his breath dropped to a lower level, and he was extremely depressed, but he was still alive and well.
The young man's face was full of disbelief, and he murmured: "Spiritual shield, you... you are not in the Qi refining stage!"
"Thank you for your highness."
The middle-aged man's lips were chapped, and his eyes were vicious as he approached step by step, "This subordinate has been working hard for a hundred years to build the foundation, but he fell to the ninth level of Qi training!
If His Highness's opportunities do not satisfy your subordinates, don't blame them for drinking His Highness's blood and eating His Highness's flesh to satisfy their hatred! "
After saying this, the middle-aged man patted the young man's head without saying a word and was not prepared to press him any further.
The young man closed his eyes in despair.
Father, my child is unfilial!
puff!
Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and white light passed through his chest, and the nails buzzed on the wooden board, making the young man's face warm.
As soon as his palm landed lightly on the boy's head, there was no force whatsoever.
The young man opened his eyes blankly, only to see a large blood stain on the middle-aged man's left chest, and his expression was even more dazed than him.
He clutched his broken heart and turned around with difficulty. When he saw the scar-faced beggar at the door, he was stunned for a long time and hoarsely asked: "Why?"
Xiang Shu looked at him indifferently and said nothing back.
The middle-aged man laughed miserably and fell to the ground.
Xiang Shen didn't relax at all. He walked quickly to the boy and pulled out the bone knife. He threw it with his backhand and stabbed the corpse's throat accurately.
"ah!!"
The middle-aged man screamed, and the "fake corpse" came to life, "I won't give in! I won't give in!"
He struggled frantically to get up, but his neck was nailed to the ground with a bone knife, and he couldn't get up.
The young man stared blankly at this horrifying scene, his mind going blank.
Xiang Shen watched expressionlessly until the middle-aged man broke most of his neck and was completely dead. Then he went up and pulled out the bone knife, groped around again, and plundered everything on his body without looking at it. The young man took one look, stood up and left.
Seeing Xiang Shu disappear from sight, the young man woke up with a jolt. As soon as he stopped being frightened, he immediately got up and stumbled after him.
But before he stepped out of the threshold, he saw Xiang Shu collecting money from the corpses one by one at the door. He couldn't help but froze on the spot, speechless.
Xiang Shu's movements of searching for dead people's property were unfamiliar at first, but then became faster and faster. The young man couldn't help but feel anxious. After holding it down for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say, "How do you know he faked his death?"
Xiang Shen buried his head in searching, but got no response.
In the mountains, she often encounters prey that pretends to be dead and runs away, and she starves several times because of this. The throw just now was really just out of habit. She didn't expect that the blind cat would encounter a dead mouse.
Monsters are cunning, and humans are even more cunning.
You really can't be careless when fighting with others.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the young man didn't care, and asked curiously: "Are you so powerful? Why didn't you resist the bullies before?"
Xiang Shu put away the last money bag, turned around and went downstairs.
The young man quickly followed and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xiang Shu finally answered: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Go find the boat boss and leave in a small boat."
"So you can hear me."
The young man perked up and was about to continue. After receiving a cold glance from Xiang Shu, he immediately shut up.
Arriving at the unusually quiet lower cabin, the cold expression on his face turned away. He picked a room and knocked on the door. His calm face suddenly became excited and he started shouting.
"Brothers, come out, all the water thieves are dead!"
"Ship boss, where are you?"
"Brothers, everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, come out and take a look!"
"..."
The young man standing by looked dumbfounded.
