Chapter 45: The Shadow of the River
The Jiangchuan cruise ship sails on the Yangtze River, and the ride is extremely comfortable and smooth, and resting in the cabin at night is similar to being on land.
Early the next morning, the cruise ship arrived at its destination, Eagle's Beak Gorge.
Eagle's Beak Gorge is a long, narrow gorge with towering peaks on both sides, sandwiching the river into a deep blue line, and the water is particularly turbulent because of the narrowing of the river.
"It should be around here. ”
Mr. Zhao sat in a wheelchair, looking at the peaks on both sides of the river, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous: "It's been sixty years, but I still remember what it looks like here." ”
The cruise ship's engines slowed down to stay in the middle of the river, after which six frogmen in full diving suits jumped off the boat to find out where the wreck was located.
These frogmen have cameras on their shoulders, so people on board can see the images transmitted by the cameras as long as they sit in the cabin hall, which is very convenient.
In the hall in the center of the cabin, a large group of people stood around the big screen, among which the leaders were Lin Yu, Mr. Zhao, and Master Mu.
Everyone stared at the screen, and the dark underwater picture naturally gave people a sense of oppression, and most of them held their breath and did not dare to speak.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as the three children of the Junior Detective Corps. Everyone else was watching the screen intently, and the three dolls were running around in the crowd, playing hide and seek.
Master Mu on the side glanced at these children and snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction.
An apprentice behind him observed his words and said loudly: "You children, don't make trouble here, go out!"
Lin Xiaomeng turned around and grimaced, running even crazier.
Master Mu's apprentice's face changed, and he looked at Lin Yu: "Here is doing business, take care of your children!"
Lin Yu ignored him and looked directly at Master Mu: "These children can play wherever they want, and take care of your apprentices." ”
"You ——!"
Master Mu's face suddenly turned pale, and Mr. Zhao hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "The two of you are angry! Let's look at the underwater situation first!"
After speaking, the old man handed a color to the beautiful woman Sisi next to him,
Sisi understood, walked over and took Xiaomeng's hand, stretched out his finger and pointed to the nail board, signaling to take her to the deck to play.
The attraction of beautiful women is always the greatest, and a few children followed Sisi out like fart, and the cabin hall was quiet again.
Mr. Zhao looked at the big screen in front of him and sighed with emotion: "The dam has been built downstream, and the river here is much deeper. ”
The vision of the six frogmen echoed on the screen, the dark green picture was constantly changing, and as they gradually dived, they could faintly see a broken giant shadow standing on the bottom of the river below.
There was an exclamation in the hall, there was indeed a shipwreck down there! From this angle, this shipwreck was very large, stretching across the entire bottom of the river, and it was estimated to be forty meters long!
Master Mu laughed: "Okay! It seems that this trip is worth it!"
At this moment, Lin Yu's face changed slightly, and he reached out to support Mr. Zhang's shoulder: "Tell the frogs to withdraw." ”
"Quick!"
Mr. Zhang was stunned, but then nodded to the captain on the side, and the captain picked up the microphone and notified the frogman to return.
Master Mu frowned and looked at Lin Yu: "I haven't found out yet, why do you want people to come back?"
Lin Yu ignored Master Mu and stretched out his finger and pointed to the big screen in front of him: "That thing came out." ”
Sure enough, as Lin Yu's words fell, in the dim and blurred picture on the screen, a huge shadow suddenly poured out from the wreckage, like a strange undercurrent, hovering around the bottom of the river.
"That's it!"
Mr. Zhao sweated on his forehead, his face turned pale in an instant, and he recalled the terrifying experience of sixty years ago for a moment.
Fortunately, Lin Yu's instructions were relatively timely, and the frog people had already floated up and retreated without going too deep, and the huge shadow at the bottom of the river seemed to have no intention of chasing.
As the frogman ascended, the image disappeared on the big screen, and a group of people in the cabin looked at each other.
Lin Yu walked up to Mr. Zhao: "This thing treats the shipwreck as a lair, and if someone gets close to the shipwreck, it will attack." The footage from the frogman was blurry, and it was impossible to see what the shadow was, but it was certain to be an underwater creature, and it was huge. ”
Master Mu snorted coldly: "Who can't see this! This time I came here for the treasure in the shipwreck, no matter what it is, as long as it blocks Lao Tzu's financial path, all of them will be killed!"
The giant shadow at the bottom of the river is the demon in Mr. Zhao's heart, and he is now a little bit of a master: "What are we going to do now?"
Master Mu's face was full of indifference: "I go to sea all year round, and the sharks in the sea have hunted more than a dozen, this is just a big fish at the bottom of the river, not worth mentioning." ”
"Then please Master!"
Old Mr. Zhao nodded, there was a big reason why he invited Master Mu over this time, that is, Master Mu was on the southeast coast, and he did have a set of ways to deal with large animals in the water.
Master Mu beckoned to the two apprentices, and walked out of the cabin and went to the deck with the two huge backpacks on their backs.
The two apprentices opened their backpacks, and suddenly the cold light shone, and there were all kinds of underwater hunting equipment inside, such as javelins, barbed hooks, splitting thorns, barbed fishing nets, and so on.
The three of them changed into cowhide wetsuits and hung all kinds of weapons all over their bodies, then walked to the side of the boat and jumped into the water.
These people didn't have cameras on them, so the people on the boat couldn't see what was going on underwater, and it didn't make sense to stay in the cabin, so they all rushed to the deck, standing on the side of the ship one by one and looking down at the water.
The river flows quietly, who would have thought that there is a hidden killing machine in the depths below, and at this moment, there are three people at the bottom of the river fighting with the giant shadow to the death!
Wang Kui leaned over to Lin Yu's side: "Master Lin, do you want to go into the water and have a look, what do you mean?"
Lin Yu shook his head and turned his head to look at Sisi and the three children not far away: "You go and take the children back to the cabin, no matter what happens, don't come out." ”
Wang Kui sighed, very puzzled: "Isn't it just a fish, what can happen?"
Lin Yu glanced at him: "Go quickly!"
Wang Kui was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and ran towards the children.
Lin Yu reached out and touched the vajra in his pocket, and then looked at the river with a thoughtful expression.
Although the black shadow before was very vague, with the volume of the wreck as a reference, it could probably be deduced that the length of this thing was more than ten meters.
The ten-meter-long giant beast is by no means comparable to a shark of three or four meters, and Master Mu and his apprentices have suffered a lot.
Lin Yu didn't plan to go into the water, he was now waiting patiently, waiting for Master Mu to provoke that monster and lure it to the surface of the river, and then he could use the vajra to kill it with one blow.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden commotion on the deck on the other side of the cruise ship, and several crew members pulled up a person from below, who was one of Master Mu's two apprentices.
Lin Yu walked closer and found that the diving suit on the person's shoulder had been torn to shreds, and there was a huge laceration wound on it, and blood was gushing out.
"That guy is too big!"
This person spoke tremblingly, and the whole person couldn't help trembling, and there was no longer the previous arrogance: "The senior brother was swallowed by it, and the master is still fighting ...... underwater."
When Mr. Zhao and the people behind him heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
I didn't expect that after such a while, I would have been killed and injured!
Now there is only Master Mu left, isn't that even more useless!
Wow - Wow -
In the blink of an eye, large waves swelled on the calm river, and the docile water became turbulent and chaotic.
Large whirlpools appeared on the river around the cruise ship, the small one was like a tabletop, and the large one was half the size of a basketball court, and the huge cruise ship was driven by the whirlpool and began to shake from side to side on the river surface.
Lin Yu nodded, it seems that this Master Mu is a bit useful, and he has successfully aroused the anger of that thing under the water.
However, the ordinary crew members were not so calm, and a timid crew member fell to his knees on the side of the ship with a pop.
"My grandfather's generation had to throw tribute to the dragon god in the river when he went on the boat, and the dragon god must be the dragon god below, we offended the dragon god!"
