Chapter 502 There is a water monkey
The incident happened in a hurry and there was no time to react.

The sailor didn't have time to close his mouth when he spoke, and the river water poured into it.

He was so dizzy that he instinctively wanted to escape and struggled toward the surface of the water.

However, in the next second, the whole person sank completely, and there was no head visible on the river, only a string of blisters left by the person's disappearance.

The remaining three people were so frightened that they dared to stay where they were. They swam desperately to get back on the boat.

"Help!!"

"Oh my god, I'm afraid there are water monkeys in this water..."

They were swimming around while shouting for help, and they were so scared that they almost lost their minds.

Everyone on the boat was shocked. The boss of the boat roared, "Hurry up and swim to the edge of the boat."

"What are you all still doing? Pull the rope quickly!" he shouted towards the side of the boat.

The crew members on the ship who were frightened and stunned did not react until then and hurriedly pulled the rope. The ship became a mess.

The ropes and sticks all fell next to the three sailors who entered the water.

The people on the boat shouted, "Quick! We will pull you up and swim to the side of the boat."

The remaining three sailors swam forward desperately and were about to exert their strength.

suddenly……

Another person was pulled out of the water. The water was instantly above his head, leaving nothing but bubbles rising up one after another.

"Ahhh!"

The two young men watched helplessly as their companion was dragged into the water. They were so frightened that they shouted loudly, with tears and noses streaming down their faces, and they hung around beside the boat desperately.

The boat boss roared, "Hurry up and pull hard!"

The rest of the people on the boat worked together to pull the rope up, and the remaining two people were quickly pulled up like fish.

At this moment, Ning Muqing, who had been staring closely at the river, said, "There are people under the water, and there are more than one."

"Where?" Chu Lixuan asked immediately.

"Gone." Ning Muqing stared at a dissipating wave and said, "I saw at least three figures running under the water, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye."

The light was very poor at night. Although there were torches lighting up the hull, the wind on the river was blowing and the firelight surged on the waves of the river, leaving only a tiny bit of weak light. It was difficult to see clearly what was going on under the water.

Chu Lixuan's eyesight was not as good as Ning Muqing's, and he saw nothing. There was a cold light in his eyes, "Are you sure it's someone's shadow?"

"I'm not sure, because there was only a vague shadow that disappeared all of a sudden. According to my judgment, it was a person." Ning Muqing said with a frown.

The official from the Ministry of Agriculture next to him shuddered, "It can't be the legendary water monkey!"

"Stop messing around with ghosts and ghosts here. Where in the world did the water monkey come from? I read it in the book. It is fake."

At this time, the sailor who was pulling slower suddenly sank, and his feet were heading towards the water. He was so frightened that he screamed, "Help! There is a water monkey! The water monkey is pulling me! Help me." !”

"Faster, faster! Harder!"

The ship boss roared.

Others rushed forward and helped pull the rope hard.

"Help! Guru!"

At this time, the sailor was dragged to the river again. His whole body seemed to be sucked by something and he sank into the water. He struggled desperately.

When Fang Sheng screamed, the cold river water poured into his nose, choking him to death.

If it weren't for the rope tied to his body, he would have been dragged into the water.

The boss of the ship remembered that he was spinning around and threw himself on the railing and shouted loudly, "Xiao Yun, hold on! We will pull you up right away, you must hold on!"

Looking at the sailors struggling in the water, Chu Lixuan looked gloomy and grasped the railing with his big hands.

"You can't go, you're the leader, you can't take risks."

Ning Muqing grabbed Chu Lixuan's hand to stop him from acting calmly.

Chu Lixuan, "..."

Ning Muqing whispered, "There can't be someone on board to take charge of the overall situation. You stay here and I'll go."

"No!" Chu Lixuan's eyes were cold and solemn.

No one could see what was happening on the surface of the river, and no one knew what was going on under the water, let alone how many people were hiding.

What's the difference between letting her go down alone as a woman and seeking death?

Chu Lixuan grabbed Ning Muqing's wrist and said in a low and cold voice, "It's useless for you to go down now, it's too late."

"None of the guards on the ship know how to swim, and the sailors on the ship don't know martial arts. They will die if they go down, but someone must go down to see what is going on. I can do it."

Ning Muqing spoke very quickly, and after speaking, she broke away from Chu Lixuan's hand. "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person. At least I won't die."

Chu Lixuan paused with his gestures. He had never seen Ning Muqing enter the water, but there was a sense of faith in Ning Muqing's eyes that made him believe it.

"How long." Chu Lixuan looked at Ning Muqing with burning eyes.

"A quarter of an hour." Ning Muqing thought for a moment and said, "I can last a quarter of an hour underwater."

"it is good."

Chu Lixuan made a quick decision and said coldly, "If you can't come up in a quarter of an hour, I will go down to find you."

Ning Muqing, "..."

"Forget it, there's no need for this." She remembered that when she transformed into 'Cen Xining', Chu Lixuan fell to the bottom of the water. If it weren't for her being a bodhisattva, Chu Lixuan might have died.

After saying this, Ning Muqing jumped into the water neatly without giving others time to react.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

The captain of the ship stared at Ning Muqing dumbfounded before he could stop him.

Ning Muqing jumped up, landed on the water without hesitation, and took advantage of the situation to pull out Chu Lixuan's dagger.

‘Poof! ’

There were splashes on the water.

She quickly disappeared on the river, disappearing like a mermaid without a trace.

"Master, why did your guard jump?" The Minister of Agriculture was frightened and turned pale. He was about to reprimand when he suddenly remembered something and looked at the Fourth Prince, "The Fourth Emperor...did you order him to jump?"

The fourth prince was also startled by Ning Muqing's sudden move just now. Hearing this, he immediately looked at Chu Lixuan.

Chu Lixuan ignored the arguments of these people, put his hands on the railing, and stared at the river.

The fourth prince understood immediately and said calmly, "That's my order. She knows how to swim. I asked her to go down and see if she can save people."

"I see."

The Minister of Agriculture believed it immediately and turned to look at the river.

The place where Ning Muqing dived was not far from where the sailors were dragged down.

The moment he entered the water, all other sounds on the river disappeared, and he could only hear the flowing water next to his ears.

Fortunately, Ning Muqing had Ruyi Medicine Cauldron, so she had no problem breathing in the water. She closed her eyes and sank, while her limbs tried to stabilize her direction. Before she could adapt to the underwater environment and open her eyes, the feeling of danger came quietly.

She opened her eyes and kicked her feet hard. With the help of the buoyancy in the water, Ning Muqing turned over easily.

so close!

Avoiding the sharp blade coming towards her.

There was no light under the water and it was very dark, so you couldn't see anything clearly.

Ning Muqing squinted her eyes and sensed the line of defense where the person was by feeling the pressure of the water waves flowing under the water. Feeling the pressure increase, Ning Muqing's sharp dagger in her hand slashed along the direction of the water waves.

Right in the bloodline.

The sound of the blade cutting through the skin could not be heard in the water.

Ning Muqing only saw blood red color all around.

If you are injured in the water, the current will wash away more and more blood, and eventually you will die from blood loss.

The other person covered the injured area and tried to escape.

Want to run?

Ning Muqing sneered. At this time, she didn't hold back at all. She kicked off her feet and the blade in her hand had already pierced the man's heart.

She sheathed the knife instantly and caught a glimpse of two black figures from the corner of her eye.

Immediately it surged again in the water.

The man in black who had been sneaking and hiding his figure quickly rushed towards Ning Muqing, attacking Ning Muqing's vital points with every move.

Ning Muqing dodged a backhand slash, then turned around quickly, and blood immediately spread again.

In order to avoid being stained by blood, Ning Muqing quickly retreated. They chased Ning Muqing regardless of her injuries. Then Ning Muqing was flexible and powerful and they couldn't catch up.

Within a few minutes, several men, bleeding profusely, sank to the bottom of the water.

Ning Muqing checked the environment everywhere in the water. It was quiet under the water and she didn't see anyone else. She hesitated and decided to go up and explain the situation first.

at this time……

Subtle water waves flowed towards Ning Muqing.
