Chapter 415 [Uninvited Guest] (Part 2)
During lunch, Luo Lie talked to Uncle Fu about Wu Jie's joining. Uncle Fu said: "No one knows whether this purple jade box is so magical or not. If the jade box itself does not have the effect of resurrection, too many people will be disappointed."
Luo Liedao: "You have to try it no matter what."
Uncle Fu nodded. He understood that Luo Lie did not have the desire to possess the Zifu Jade Box, but wanted to save the sparrow through the Zifu Jade Box.
Luo Lie and Wu Jie were ready. Yupu Wharf had been closed three days in advance. The entire wharf was empty and all the workers went home to rest. Ye Qinghong finally decided to stay at home and wait for news about Luo Lie. If she was at the dock site, she was worried that she would not be able to bear it.
Ye Qinghong found that she became more and more dependent on Luo Lie after marriage. She did not tell Luo Lie about this feeling of gains and losses. She even went to the hospital for examination alone and she became pregnant again. This little life comforted Ye Qinghong's wounded heart. She cherished the hard-earned love crystals of her and Luo Lie more and more. She had to wait until Luo Lie returns safely before telling him the good news. This was not because she wanted to keep the secret, but at this time, she did not want to interfere with Luo Lie's mood. If she told Luo Lie, Luo Lie would only add to her concern and risk her with an uneasy state of mind.
Luo Lie and Wu Jie were doing the preparations before they went into the water. Tiewa, who was in charge of looking down from the tower. He discovered that there was a boat about one mile from Yupu Wharf. Some of the people on the boat werehaved strangely.
After hearing this, Luo Lie climbed onto the watchtower, picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. He saw that there were indeed more than ten people on the deck doing preparations before going into the water. Luo Lie recognized one of them as Chen Haodong. He immediately understood the purpose of Chen Haodong's trip. For Chen Haodong, this time should be his last chance to become the sect leader. If he could take the lead and get the Zifu Jade Box, then he could win at the last moment and take away the sect leader.
Luo Lie returned to the bottom and told Uncle Fu about what he saw.
Fu Bo said: "There is a water ghost team among the thief. This team belongs to the Huangpu branch. The members of the water ghost team are strictly selected across the country. They have outstanding water characteristics, and the top experts can stay in the water for three days and three nights."
Luo Liedao: "Is it floating on the water?"
Uncle Fu shook his head and said, "They have mastered a unique method of ventilation, and it is said that the maximum time to stay underwater can reach more than six hours."
Wu Jie said: "What's so strange?"
Uncle Fu smiled at Wu Jie and said, "Don't underestimate these six hours. These six hours are enough for them to hunt treasures in the water." He said to Luo Lie: "Boy, how long can you stay under the water for the longest?"
Luo Lie said: "It should be fine for six hours."
Uncle Fu looked at Wu Jie, but he didn't ask Wu Jie. It was obvious that Wu Jie's words just now that he didn't take six hours seriously. Uncle Fu and Wu Jie had never dealt with each other in the past, but with his experienced experience, you can tell at a glance that this person has a weird temper and is difficult to get along with.
Uncle Fu said: "Be careful, the danger that is often invisible is the deadliest."
Luo Lie nodded, he moved his limbs and saw Wu Jie slowly take off his robe, revealing a gray-white shark-skinned body inside. Luo Lie knew at a glance that this scuba diving suit was extraordinary. Compared with Wu Jie's scuba diving body, his diving suit was pale in comparison.
Uncle Fu said: "It turns out that Yue Sizheng's fishman armor has fallen into your hands."
Wu Jie said calmly: "The old man can be regarded as having a wide range of knowledge."
Although Luo Lie's diving suit is not as exquisite as Wu Jie's craftsmanship, it contains a lot of high-tech. It is now spring, but the water in Pujiang River is still very cold. Ordinary people can only last half an hour in such water temperature, so they may have to stay for a long time. Therefore, when choosing a diving suit, they must consider both waterproof and warmth and convenience of movement.
Uncle Fu laid the mud seals of the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine and said, "I wish you a victory and everything goes well!"
Luo Lie took a symbolic sip, but Wu Jie drank the bowl of wine completely.
Uncle Fu winked, Tiewa cut off the two roosters prepared in advance and threw them into the Pujiang River. This is for auspiciousness and let the vengeful spirits retreat.
Wu Jie threw the empty bowl on the open space beside him, and the empty bowl was smashed, which also meant to be safe. After doing this, Wu Jie didn't say much, and took his bamboo pole and jumped into the Pujiang River. Luo Lie was not willing to fall behind and followed Wu Jie into the water.
Tiewa shouted, "Uncle Luo, catch me a water monkey and come up to play with it."
Uncle Fu glared at the boy, but he was still thinking about playing at this time, so he said angrily: "Do you want to catch a monkey like your wife?"
Tiewa laughed and said, "It's so ugly."
Uncle Fu said, "Get up and monitor the movements of those people." Tiewa responded and hurriedly went.
Wu Jie entered the water very quickly. His diving posture was unique. His right hand holding the bamboo pole stretched straight forward. He was like a javelin piercing into the water, diving into the depths with the inertia of jumping into the water.
Luo Lie was worried that he was blind and that the ears and noses could not play a great role in the water. Luo Lie at least had a homemade transparent hood. Wu Jie's head was not protected at all. Wu Jie in the water was like a big gray-white fish.
Although Luo Lie has good water properties, he has always been left behind for a while. The water in Pu River in this section is relatively turbid. Although Luo Lie is fully prepared, the visibility is still poor. The closer it is to the bottom of the river, the lower the water temperature is, and the hidden undercurrent speed is very fast. If you want to get close to the white bone trench, you still need to dive against the current.
Wu Jie corrected his position in the water and came to Luo Lie's side, keeping a distance of about three meters between him and Luo Lie.
Luo Lie found the place where he found the iron anchor last time. The iron anchor was still there, and the bottom of the water still looked the same. Although Wu Jie could not see the object, Luo Lie made any changes in direction, and he was always able to find the position of Luo Lie as soon as possible.
They came to the edge of the white bone trench, and Luo Lie pulled out the fishing gun that had been prepared from behind. Last time, more than ten water monkeys suddenly broke out in this place. Although he escaped fast enough, he was still scratched by the water monkey and almost killed his life.
Six blurred figures appeared in front of them. Luo Lie judged from the speed of their swimming that it should not be a water monkey. When he saw that the group of people was fully equipped. It turned out that Chen Haodong led his subordinates to dive into the water to find the Zifu Jade Box.
Chen Haodong can be regarded as persevering in the position of the sect leader, which is just the saying that the Yellow River will not give up.
However, there was no direct conflict between the two sides. They both knew that the other party's purpose was the Zifu Jade Box. Before they found the Zifu Jade Box, no one had the intention to provoke a dispute.
The monkeys that Luo Lie were worried about never appeared. A group of people searched in the water. Luo Lie found an old map from the sparrow's safe. The map should have been drawn from the Pujiang River. However, the map was too long and after the vicissitudes and changes in the river channel, the current real situation was very different from the time when drawing the map. In addition, with the development of the times, the Pujiang River water body was turbid, and the reference significance of the map was not very important.
The more you are in such a blurry place, the smaller the effect your eyes can play. If you rely too much on your eyes, it will involve most of your energy. After Luo Lie met Wu Jie, Wu Jie taught him to use his heart to perceive the surrounding environment, which he improved his realm by a great step.
Although Chen Haodong's group of people had outstanding water quality, the water temperature near the White Bone Trench was too low and they couldn't bear it soon. Some people had already chosen to float first.
At this moment, six black shadows rushed out of the pile of white bones, and they rushed towards the people in the water with lightning speed. If they were on land, these people should have the ability to win and lose with the water monkeys, but now they are under 50 meters deep, and ordinary people are difficult to make ordinary moves, let alone fight in the water.
Chen Haodong's side was fully equipped, and everyone was carrying weapons. They hurriedly picked up the fishing gun, but before one of them could pick up the fishing gun, his feet were caught by the monkey. He pulled it hard, and his whole person was dragged into the trench of bones and submerged in the bones. Although his companions couldn't see what was going on, they were shocking to see the black blood mist rising like smoke on the pile of bones.
Chen Haodong pulled the trigger and shot the fishing gun at a water monkey who rushed straight to him. The water monkey was nimble in the water and avoided the right lightning. He avoided the shooting fishing gun and grabbed the arrowhead. His body suddenly accelerated in the water, and rushed to one of the people like a sharp lightning, raised the arrowhead and inserted it into the man's face.
In a blink of an eye, two people died tragically.
A water monkey chose Wu Jie as the target. Its swimming in the water was extremely fast, and what was even more terrifying was silent. When Luo Lie discovered the intention of the water monkey, the water monkey was less than two meters away from Wu Jie.
Luo Lie hurriedly picked up the fishing gun and shot at the water monkey, but another water monkey blocked his sight, and the water monkey grabbed the front end of Luo Lie's fishing gun.
Luo Lie shot at the close range, and the tip of the head penetrated the palm of the water monkey. Luo Lie immediately pulled out the dagger and quickly cut off the water monkey's wrist. The water monkey's left hand was cut off by the dagger, and blood gushed out. It was so scared that it covered its broken wrist and fled towards the pile of bones.
Another water monkey was sneaking into Wu Jie, opening his mouth to bite Wu Jie's neck, but unexpectedly, a slender sword suddenly appeared under Wu Jie's armpit. Facing its face, it stabbed into its mouth accurately.
Luo Lie felt relieved when he saw Wu Jie's moves so efficiently. In fact, the narrow long sword hidden in the bamboo pole of Wu Jie is more suitable for combat underwater. The narrow sword body determines that the resistance in the water is very small.
