Li Sanhe's ability to fight against others is not weak, so if he is helpless or even feels a headache, then the enemy must be a group of enemies and there is no way to start.
Yu Liang said it was no wonder he couldn't see below, which actually stemmed from this.
The thing blocking his eyes a few meters below the water's surface was so dark that he thought it was algae in Taihu Lake. Later, he thought it might be because of magic or spiritual power, but it didn't look like it.
The reason why Lin Xiao and Meng Ran felt hungry was because the high temperature generated by the laser cannon cooked those things instantly.
The fragrance spreads everywhere, which will indeed make these team members who have not tasted this delicious food for a long time a little greedy.
The laser cannon not only evaporated the water on the lake in an instant, but also penetrated the lake and hit the animals that were crowded together and constantly moving and crawling.
And those animals also revealed their true colors in Lushan under the scattering of laser light.
Lobster, crawfish, endless crawfish.
They crowd and rub against each other underwater, looking like a black cloud floating in the lake.
Wherever the laser cannon hit, all the crayfish were instantly evaporated into smoke, leaving an extremely regular and terrifying cylindrical hole, which was filled with other crayfish in the blink of an eye.
Even around the laser cannon, dozens of crayfish were roasted instantly. Although they were also drowned by other crayfish, the fragrance wafted out.
"Were there crayfish in ancient times?" Lin Xiao swallowed.
"Before we decide whether to make it spicy or steamed, what we need to think about now is how to prevent our boat from being pierced by these crayfish." Qi Zhen said at this time.
Everyone suddenly realized and finally understood where the dense tapping sounds came from.
These crayfish, which are usually only available as river delicacies for people to slaughter at will, actually want to swallow everyone in their belly!
Qi Zhen was silently calculating the combat capabilities of her team.
Then he couldn't help but feel helpless.
Lin Xiao, Li San, and Meng Ran were completely useless in this battle.
Not to mention myself.
Do you want to unleash illusions on these crayfish yourself?
Li Qiang's heavy weapons, except for the laser cannon, can also exert obvious lethality, but the other ones have limited effect.
At this moment, Meng Ran was releasing a blizzard below, but there was no way he could penetrate the lake surface and cause any substantial damage to the crayfish a few meters below.
So she switched to shooting downwards with ice arrows.
The penetrating power of the Ice Arrow is much stronger than that of the Blizzard, and it can indeed cause certain damage to those crayfish. The most important thing is that the deceleration effect of the Ice Arrow has a very gratifying effect on these crayfish.
When Yu Liang saw this, he started throwing his frost traps underwater without hesitation.
Sure enough, the moment the frost trap came into contact with the underwater crayfish, a white mist was generated, and the temperature of the surrounding lake water instantly dropped. All the crayfish within the scope of this mist were moving faster. Became very sluggish.
However, whether it was Jiang Yan's ice arrows or Yu Liang's frost traps, the deceleration effect caused by such a huge lake and a huge amount of crayfish was only a drop in the bucket.
Qi Zhen knew that this would not work. Once everyone fell into the water, they would not even have a place to stay. They would be instantly submerged in a sea of crayfish. Not to mention defeating their opponents, they would be chewed to the point where no bones are left.
Leaving Li Qiang, Yu Liang, and Jiang Yan on the deck, Qi Zhen took the other three people back to the cabin.
In the cabin, the intensive tapping sounds became more obvious at this time, and there was already a tendency to become a mass.
"Heroes, what's going on outside?"
All the lake bandits looked at Qi Zhen and others with fear on their faces and said.
"You guys are in for a treat." Lin Xiao became very angry when he saw them, and said angrily.
The lake bandits looked at each other, confused.
"Sorry, I have to ask you to sail the ship away from here as soon as possible. We can help you. If you delay, I'm afraid everyone will be buried here." Qi Zhen said softly.
"It was you who said not to leave just now! It's you who say leave now! Are you trying to harm us?!" a lake bandit shouted loudly.
Qi Zhen glanced at him.
Then the lake bandit let out a muffled groan and his body collapsed to the ground.
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time. If there's no problem, please hurry up."
Qi Zhen showed a very rare strong side at this time and shouted sharply at these lake bandits.
The boss no longer hesitated and directed everyone to go rowing in the lower cabin. The lake bandits looked at Qi Zhen with some fear before leaving.
Qi Zhen didn't pay attention to this, leaving Lin Xiao and Jiang Yan to stare at the master. Qi Zhen accompanied Li San and followed the lake bandits into the lower cabin.
The structure of the lower cabin is the same as that of the upper cabin, except that there are no seats in the cabin, and the bulkhead is turned into a hole with the oar sticking out.
The banging sound was even more intensive here, as if thousands of pebbles were constantly hitting the bottom of the boat.
Qi Zhen didn't understand anything about boating, but seeing these lake bandits still performing their duties in an orderly manner under such a tense situation, she nodded secretly.
"You are busy, let me tell you."
Qi Zhen is not watching their work as a supervisor, but must tell them the urgency of the problems they are facing now.
No one looked at Qi Zhen.
At this time, there were several more sounds of broken bones, as if to preface Qi Zhen's speech.
"Ah!" The lake bandit who came down first roared in pain again.
Li San once again stood beside him before everyone could react.
His hands were very fast, and he threaded several paper clips together and placed them on both sides of the swollen finger like a mallet. At the same time, he took out a strip of cloth from his body and wrapped the finger tightly.
"Don't move, fix it." After Li San did this, he walked back to Qi Zhen as if nothing had happened.
"We are treating him, don't worry." Qi Zhen explained when she saw everyone looking at her face with fear or resentment.
The lake bandit's fingers were already numb, but Li San poked them back again. At this time, tears were streaming down his face, and he wanted to die.
Then Qi Zhen told them what happened outside and her speculations.
"What is crayfish?" asked the second boatman.
"You can understand that there is a group of crabs below, and now they want to eat us." Qi Zhen had a hard time explaining the biological characteristics of this invasive species, so she gave an example that they could understand.
The unknown is the most frightening thing. Now that the lake bandits know the true nature of these things, they are not as scared as they were at first.
But I'm still a little scared, especially when I think about the possibility of being surrounded by countless crabs and being eaten away bit by bit. This feeling is not good.
Therefore, everyone's speed became faster.
The lake bandits began to row.
The boat slowly began to move forward.
"Second brother! It's so heavy!"
Some lake bandits shouted.
Qi Zhen frowned.
really.
Those crayfish are preventing the boat from leaving here.
Qi Zhen thought of something else and hurriedly asked the lake bandit who had lost his finger: "How did you feel when you paddled just now?"
"It was very easy when I rowed just now. The boat started to move forward with almost no effort. I thought it was because of the wind." The lake bandit replied doubtfully.
It seems that the boat was brought here by these crayfish.
Qi Zhen thought of this and said to everyone: "It's a matter of life and death, please do your best."
The boat moved forward slowly.
On the deck, Li Qiang had already fired his third charged laser cannon.
The power of the laser cannon is indeed huge, but the disadvantage is that it takes too long to cool down.
Yu Liang's situation is similar. It takes time to make the frost trap. Although it has a large range, it can only cause slowing down but has no lethality.
The damage caused by Jiang Yan's Ice Arrow skill can also slow down the crayfish, but the deceleration range is not as good as Yu Liang's, and the killing effect is not as good as Li Qiang's.
Qi Zhen came to the deck and saw the scene in front of her. She could only think like this.
Now we can see whether everyone can reach the shore before the ship sinks, or whether they are pierced through the sunken ship before reaching the shore.
These crayfish are too many.
Qi Zhen confessed to Li Qiang and walked back to the cabin.
"How is it?!" Lin Xiao asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head and said that she didn't know what the final result would be.
"Damn it! If it were before, these crayfish wouldn't be enough to feed a whole city for one night!" Lin Xiao said angrily.
"They probably think so now." Qi Zhen shrugged.
The hull of the boat suddenly tilted, and Lin Xiao stumbled.
"What's going on!?" Lin Xiao shouted.
Qi Zhen looked at the head of the house.
"The bottom of the boat is leaking." The boss said in a deep voice, with a look of confusion on his face.
Qi Zhen had to tell him the current situation again.
"At the current speed, how long will it take for us to reach the other side?" Qi Zhen asked.
"About an hour," the leader said.
"Then at the current rate of water intrusion, how long will it take for us to sink the ship?" Qi Zhen then asked.
"It's also an hour, but the time left for us is probably less than half an hour." The master's words were a little bitter.
Shipwrecks are very special. There are no particularly big signs at first. Once the cabin is filled with water, it will begin to develop exponentially.
After the water in the lower cabin also made it impossible to row, the people on the boat had no choice but to wait in place for the boat to eventually sink.
Qi Zhen nodded, knowing what he said was right.
He has still seen the movie Titanic.
So what we have to do now is to reduce the water in the cabin and increase the speed of the boat.
The sound of piercing the bottom became more and more intensive, as if the crayfish had received some order and were desperately trying to cut through the hull to prevent everyone from leaving.
Qi Zhen asked: "Can you go down to the bottom and have a look?"
The head of the house nodded.
"Wait for me first."
Qi Zhen came to the deck and exchanged a few words with Li Qiang.
Li Qiang nodded and motioned to Qi Zhen to go do the work and leave it to him.
Then Qi Zhen and Li San followed the boss to the lowest cabin.
The cabin was extremely dark. The master held an oil lamp in his hand. The light illuminated the narrow space, revealing the situation inside the cabin.
This is not so much a cabin as an extremely narrow partition.
The multi-layer wooden ship plank structure can effectively block the invasion of water and ensure that water intrusion into a certain layer of the cabin will not affect the entire hull.
The boss opened the last partition, revealing the lowest scene in front of Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen.
The lowermost cabin was already half-filled with water.
Judging from the speed at which the water level is increasing, it does not look like there is a large hole leaking in the bottom of the ship, but it is slowly seeping into the cabin.
The sounds of friction and tapping continued, and the resonance through the hull became extremely noisy.
Before the air in the lower cabin is completely lost, I am afraid that the already thin bottom of the boat will be completely penetrated by the crayfish.
