Chapter 486
“Brother Xiao!
Qingwu is so scared! ”
Dongfang Qingwu raised her head and looked at the approaching waves. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, and her body trembled violently. If the boat capsized, she would definitely fall into the river and be eaten by countless river monsters. She felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about that kind of scene and construction.
Hearing Dongfang Qingwu’s exclamation, Xiao Chen stopped injecting Desolate Power into the boat. Instead, he rushed to Dongfang Qingwu, who was lying prone in the boat. He bent down and used his left hand to pull Dongfang Qingwu up. Following that, he wrapped his left hand around Dongfang Qingwu’s waist and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you!
Trust me. ”
“Young Master!
Sit tight. I, Zhang Daren, have sailed for more than a decade. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a huge wave. In order to survive, I’m going all out!
Charge! ”
At the moment of life and death, the middle-aged warrior suddenly forgot his fear. With a loud roar, he began to paddle crazily, controlling the wooden boat to rush towards the shore.
“Boom!”
As the wave approached the wooden boat, there were thousands of fish-like river monsters’ corpses floating on it. These river monsters’ corpses looked like salamanders, but they were not. This was because their mouths were filled with long and sharp teeth. It was a chilling sight.
“Bang!”
When the wave reached a distance of fifty feet from the wooden boat, the bottom of the wooden boat seemed to be gently hit by something. Under the astonished gazes of Xiao Chen and company, the wooden boat was slowly lifted about a foot and a half off the water. This height was half a meter higher than the wave, so it should be able to avoid being submerged by the wave.
“Da Huang?
This was done by Da Huang! ”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He immediately realized that it must have been done by Da Huang who was in the water for such a large wooden boat to be lifted so easily. Furthermore, Da Huang must have transformed into The Lion King. If not, the boat would not have been so stable.
Indeed!
Da Huang, who was underwater, sent a sound transmission. His tone was very relaxed. “Big Brother, tell Sister-in-law Dongfang not to be nervous. With me, Da Huang, here, I guarantee that you will be fine. Kaka!”
“Eh …” Hearing Da Huang’s words, Xiao Chen was a little speechless. He sent a voice transmission: “Da Huang, you almost capsized me, and you’re still being so talkative?”
“Big Brother, I was frying fish just now. When we get ashore, we can roast a few and eat them. How about that?
Quack! “Da Huang replied disapprovingly. At this time, it actually thought of grilled fish.
“Alright, Big Brother, I give up!”
Xiao Chen lost to Da Huang in bickering, so he could only take the initiative to admit defeat. He began to focus on facing the impact of the waves on the hull to avoid any accidents.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The lower part of the hull was attacked by four waves, and the hull couldn’t help but rise another five feet. Some water rushed into the boat, drenching Xiao Chen and the others. Fortunately, the wooden boat didn’t turn over. It swayed along with the falling waves and landed at the original height of the river.
“Uncle, full speed to the other side of the river!”
After surviving a disaster, Xiao Chen shouted, reminding the boatman that it was time to get to work. He felt that the river monster in the water hadn’t been completely eliminated by Da Huang, so he couldn’t let his guard down.
It was better to be safe than sorry!
“Alright!
Young Master! ”
The middle-aged boatman was getting bolder. Although he was surprised that the wooden boat was suddenly pushed up by something, he didn’t ask. He guessed that it might be the yellow dog who did it. Ecstatic, he rowed the oars crazily.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Indeed, the river monster hadn’t been completely eliminated. Da Huang was deep underwater and continued to slaughter the river monsters. However, there were still a small number of water monsters that rushed near the wooden boat. This time, the river monster didn’t attack the hull. Instead, it flew out of the river and bit at Xiao Chen and the others like flying fish.
The river monsters looked very fierce. Their mouths were bigger than a dog’s, and their teeth were about three inches long. If a person was bitten, a conservative estimate would be that person would lose a kilogram of flesh. Furthermore, their flying speed was very fast. Xiao Chen and the others were once again in danger.
“You don’t know death!”
Xiao Chen saw dozens of river monsters flying over and shouted coldly. He held Dongfang Qingwu and retreated to the front of the middle-aged boatman. He planned to protect Dongfang Qingwu and the boatman by himself. Xiao Chen didn’t feel any pressure dealing with Number 13 and other dire beasts. If the river monsters attacked from the air, it was like a moth flying into a flame — just sending themselves to death.
“Peng! Peng!
Peng! “The wooden sword smashed out like lightning. The river monsters were sent flying and turned into meat paste. Following that, they exploded and scattered into the river, where other river monsters snatched them as food. It looked like the river monsters were indeed ferocious. They didn’t even spare the corpses of their companions.
“Swish! Swish!
Swish! “Dozens of river monsters were all sent flying by Xiao Chen’s wooden sword. Not a single one was spared. However, more river monsters immediately flew out of the river towards Xiao Chen and the others. Their numbers increased to hundreds. Xiao Chen felt some pressure and thought that it wouldn’t be fun if thousands or tens of thousands of river monsters flew out.
Fortunately, the wooden boat wasn’t attacked by the river monsters. It looked like Da Huang was protecting the wooden boat underwater. As long as the river monsters approached the boat, they would all be slaughtered.
However, the river monsters didn’t seem to be afraid of the powerful The Lion King. They continued to charge over without fear of death. They were incomparably ferocious and tyrannical. This situation was extremely strange.
Logically speaking, river monsters were considered low-grade desolate beasts. They would have a natural fear of high-grade desolate beasts. However, these river monsters were beyond Xiao Chen’s understanding. Even Da Huang, who was in the water, was feeling depressed.
The wooden boat was getting closer and closer to the other side of the river. It probably wouldn’t take more than five minutes to reach the other side. As long as they were on the other side, these river monsters wouldn’t be a threat to Xiao Chen and the others. Could it be that they would go ashore and chase after Xiao Chen and the others?
“Peng! Peng!
Peng! “Xiao Chen quickly brandished his wooden sword, sending all the river monsters that approached the trio flying. Many of the river monsters fell into the boat and actually used their fins and gigantic tails to swim in the boat. They continued to ferociously bite at Xiao Chen and the others. They weren’t afraid of death, as though Xiao Chen and the others were peerless delicacies that made the river monsters go crazy.
Thankfully, the river monsters weren’t very strong. Furthermore, they were all fourth-grade desolate beasts. Even Xiao Chen wouldn’t be able to withstand so many river monsters. After all, Xiao Chen was on a wooden boat and had to protect two mortals. He couldn’t move freely and couldn’t even fend for himself.
“Young Master!
Hold on!
We will reach the other side in another thousand feet! ”
The middle-aged boatman scanned the numerous river monsters in front of him and was alarmed. However, when he realized how impressive Xiao Chen was, he wasn’t afraid. Instead, he rowed the two oars with confidence, raising the speed of the wooden boat to its limits.
90 feet!
80 feet!
70 feet!
…
200 feet!
Victory was in sight!
As long as the trio could hold on for a while longer, the wooden boat would reach the other side. At that time, Xiao Chen and the others would truly be out of danger.
Right at this moment —
There was a sudden change!
“Boom! Boom!
Boom! “Hundreds of feet away from the wooden boat, dozens of gigantic river monsters the size of calves charged out of the water. After flying a few dozen feet above the water surface, they slammed heavily into the river, causing huge splashes. The sound was so loud that it instantly reached the ears of Xiao Chen and the others.
“Not good!
An even stronger gigantic river monster has appeared!
The strength of these gigantic river monsters is actually much stronger than a fourth-grade desolate beast! ”
Xiao Chen’s eyes looked at the gigantic river monsters from afar. His face couldn’t help but change as his heart tensed up. If dozens of gigantic river monsters attacked, the wooden boat would definitely capsize. Once the wooden boat capsized, it would be hard for Xiao Chen to fend off so many gigantic river monsters in the turbulent river. At that time, Dongfang Qingwu and the boatman would be in absolute danger.
