Riding the Pheonix Chapter 186: Bridge Hole
Changlechi is connected to the Yudai River and enters the Changhe River eastward. () The huge Yunjing, with a population of millions, relies on this long river to transport supplies.
If the water monster is allowed to enter the long river, it will be difficult to catch it, and the route will not be smooth in the future!
"Don't worry," Yang Shu said, "There is a box door between the Yudai River and the Changhe River. It will close at night and it can't get out."
Unexpectedly, the water monster dived down before it reached the door of the box.
Ming opened his eyes slightly and watched the water monster dive under the bridge and slowly stopped moving.
The boat docked and stopped.
Not long after, Ning Xiu and Jun Moli caught up.
Ning Xiu jumped ashore, searched with his eyes, raised his hands and asked: "Guys, where did the water monster dive to?"
Yang Shu glanced twice and pointed to the bridge hole: "There."
Ning Xiu looked intently, and sure enough, there was a vague shadow in the dark bridge hole.
Jun Moli was still floating on the water, with a very ugly expression on his face, and said, "I'm afraid that's its lair."
A few people looked at each other, and finally Ning Xiu said: "I think so too, do you want to go down and have a look?"
Jun Moli said: "Of course we have to go down. Since we know there is a water monster lurking here, if we don't get rid of it, someone will be in danger in the future."
Ning Xiu nodded and put the piano on his back.
"Wait!" Mingwei changed his voice slightly and said, "Since it is its lair, it will be more dangerous to go into the water, so why not make some preparations first."
"What preparations should be made?" Jun Moli was dissatisfied, "What if I let it run away after taking too long?"
Ning Xiu didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Ming Wei said: "It's so dark here. It's pitch black when you get into the water. It's hard to rescue if there's an accident. We're here to catch water monsters, not to die."
Ning Xiu nodded: "What suggestions does the girl have?"
Mingwei raised his head and looked into the distance: "Wait a moment, reinforcements are coming soon."
The lights in the distance were getting closer and closer, but Gao Huan and his men were chasing after him.
Seeing that they were all well, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Where is the water monster?"
"Under the bridge." Yang Shu looked behind him, "Are there only so many people?"
Gao Huan said: "Your Majesty has sent someone to notify the Imperial Army. They will be here soon." He spoke to Yang Shu, but he looked at Mingwei, "Third Young Master, what should we do next?"
Yang Shu turned his head and glanced: "Let's wait until the others arrive."
When the Imperial Army arrived, Mingwei and the other four had already got off the boat.
Ji Xiaowu said nothing the whole time. On a July day, his lips turned white and he was shaking with cold.
Duofu kindly asked: "Is it cold, Fifth Young Master? Would you like me to give you my coat?"
Ji Xiaowu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm just blown by the wind. I'll be fine in a while."
How shameless is he to take clothes off a girl?
I always thought about learning mystical arts, suppressing evil and exorcising evil spirits, and playing with the world in a cool way. I really encountered a demon tonight, it was really exciting...
The commander of the imperial army who came over was also the one they knew, named Di Fan.
These imperial guards went on business trips with Jiang Wenfeng and were promoted when they came back...
"Third Young Master." Di Fan saluted, "I heard that there was a water monster, and I am here to be dispatched."
Seeing how respectful he was to Yang Shu, Ning Xiu and Jun Moli couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Jun Moli didn’t know him, so he only guessed that he was the son of a high-ranking official. Ning Xiu was thoughtful.
Yang Shu had heard Mingwei’s words and said, “Without further delay, I won’t be polite to you. You go and prepare a few things quickly...”
What he wanted was not something rare. Di Fan and Gao Huan divided their work and asked their men to prepare it. They brought it after a while.
"You two, get in the water!"
Jun Moli looked around: "Just us?"
Yang Shu had already taken off his shirt, took the strip of cloth from Gao Huan, and tied his sleeves and trouser legs.
"And us." He pointed at himself and Gao Huan.
Ming smiled: "I will help you on the shore."
Jun Moli curled his lips. How to provide assistance on shore? A woman, he didn't count on it anyway.
Yang Shu borrowed Di Fan's sword: "Let's go."
He jumped down.
Gao Huan followed closely.
Ningxiu said nothing and followed him into the water.
Jun Moli had no choice but to abandon his grace and jump.
Over there, Di Fan had already picked out the ones with good water properties, and came over and asked, "Miss Ming, what should I do next?"
"Detach a team to block the river." Mingwei said, "The four of them are enough to deal with that water monster, just don't let it escape."
"Yes." Di Fan directed his soldiers to divide into several small teams, each holding a fishing net and occupying the rivers on both sides.
Under the light of the torch, waves quickly appeared in the bridge hole.
They have already taken action.
While staring at the shadow under the bridge, Mingwei said to Duofu: "This water monster is very sinister, and it must have eaten a lot of corpses. It looks so weird, it's probably an alien species, very ferocious. From now on. When you encounter something like this, you don’t need to transcend, you can kill it directly.”
How blessed it should be.
There was a muffled "clang" sound in the water, and it was Ning Xiu who took action.
The sound of his piano was so powerful that the waves crashed even faster.
Mingwei took out the flute from her waist and brought it to her lips.
"Woo..." The flute sound has no melody, just a normal sound. The sound waves passed into the water and matched with the sound of Ning Xiu's piano.
"Zheng——" The sound of the piano seemed to be amplified.
Mingwei listened quietly.
When the sound of the piano came out, she matched it with the sound of the flute. The sound waves lingered for a long time, hovering on the water surface. Slowly, a vortex appeared in the bridge hole.
"Zheng! Zheng!"
"Woo——"
The vortex is getting bigger and bigger, and the waves are getting faster and faster.
Suddenly there was blood, and she turned around and said, "Pay attention! The water monster is about to escape."
Di Fan shouted: "Quick! Get ready to intercept."
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a line of water shooting out from the bridge hole.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!" The gong sounded sharply and harshly. The water monster was suddenly frightened and ran away.
Yang Shu jumped out of the water, the sword vibrated and bounced, and cut on the water monster's head at a weird angle, creating another scar.
Ning Xiu stopped holding the string and looked at him.
The water monster escaped not far away with injuries~IndoMTL.com~There is an ambush over there. The gong sounded again and the fishing net approached, but it turned back and fled again.
After this coming and going, the encirclement became smaller again.
Coupled with the fact that Yang Shu and the others inflicted wounds on it from time to time, the water monster became weaker and weaker, and finally got entangled in the fishing net.
Di Fan immediately commanded his men, and the fishing nets were entangled layer by layer, trapping the water monster so that it could not move, and dragged it ashore.
Yang Shu rubbed his nose, twisted his wet clothes, and ordered them: "Send someone down to take a look. There seems to be something down there. I took a look and couldn't see clearly."
Di Fan agreed and asked those with good water skills to dive under the bridge.
Not long after, the guards sent down came up and reported: "Sir, there is a hole down there, and there are many bones in it!"
Gao Huan frowned: "Could it be that all the bodies that have fallen into the water and cannot be found over the years are all there?"
The guard said: "My lord, something seems wrong. Some of the bones seem to have been injured during their lifetime."
