Absurd Deduction Game

 The heavy rain fell from the dark sky, like dull knives to them who ran out of the inn.

Yu Xing was shaken by the sound of the strong wind and rain, and was soaked almost instantly.

"This rain is too heavy!" Quinn shouted in the rain, trying to communicate, "If this continues, there will be a big flood!"

 So this is Ye Jiang’s method of cannibalizing people!

Even if they take the body away from the river, it will eventually be submerged by the flood and meet the conditions of immediate death.

 Fortunately, the water is not rising too fast, but if Yejiang is allowed to swallow a few more corpses, it may be really doomed.

Yu Xing looked up despite the falling rain. The moon in the sky finally disappeared. Without the previous moonlight, the whole world seemed to be cast a layer of deathly gray.

 The ground in the port has accumulated water that submerged the soles of shoes. Looking from a distance, a small boat that looks like it will be destroyed at any time is trembling on the river amidst the roaring waves.

 Inside the inn door, the disbelieving calls of the boatmen were quickly obscured by the sound of rain. As they moved forward against the wind, the human voices were completely inaudible.

“There are a few ships there.” Zhao Yijiu spotted the ships docked at the port with sharp eyes. Although boarding the ship in the flood was like seeking death, this was the only way they could get close to the ship on the river.

Several people trudged to the side of the boat. In order to prevent the boat from capsizing and being wiped out, they untied two boats, got on the boat two by two, and rowed staggeringly towards the center of the river.

Just as they were getting closer to the target, Yu Xing seemed to hear a roar coming from the bottom of the river. Then, the waves hitting the ship fell into a violent rage, the ship's hull shook violently, and a whirlpool appeared in front!

 “Tsk!” Zhao Yijiu looked unkind. It was obvious that he wanted to get his ability back and cut the whirlpool in half.

"We have to go around." Yu Xing was not sure whether he could control the direction of the boat as he pleased on the river, but he could not enter the whirlpool.

 “Click!”

 Suddenly, a very slight sound of wood breaking attracted Yu Xing's attention.

 A bad premonition filled his heart. He looked around and finally set his sights on the right side of the ship.

There...there is an inconspicuous little white finger.

                                                                  Ka.

This time, he saw it clearly. With one finger, he broke off a whole piece of the ship's edge.

 The broken wooden board was swept away by the river in an instant, and Yu Xing vaguely saw a crazy and resentful eye - hidden under the damp hair.

Seeing that he had discovered it, the thing hanging on the side of the boat grinned at him and laughed sinisterly.

 “There are water ghosts.” Yu Xing reminded in a deep voice.

The waterline of the ship quietly sank a lot.

 There is a water ghost, and there is more than one.

He pulled out his knife and knocked down the water ghost directly on the side of the boat, but then there was the sound of broken boards from the other side. When he turned around and looked, there was another one.

Black heads began to emerge one after another in the black river water. Their long hair was tangled together, like a large airtight net, quickly surrounding the ship and blocking all directions.

Even though there is no light and it is difficult to see clearly, the weirdness and terror of small things converging into a huge object, as well as the strong Yin Qi exuding from it, still make people feel chilled all over.

“Holy crap! How many people have died here!” Quinn on the neighboring boat shouted loudly.

Yu Xing saw the circle surrounded by water ghosts. These things were driving them in the direction of the whirlpool.

“Before the encirclement is completely sealed, break out from the other direction.” He chopped down the water ghost who had climbed up to the edge of the boat with a knife, and signaled to Zhao Yijiu, who was holding the oar. "Wait, use this." Zhao Yijiu took out a wood chip, "This is from the merchant."

Yu Xing took it and the information about the wood chips appeared immediately.

　　【The Immovable Mountain Mantra (Part 3): Immovable as a mountain, activate it with blood, like a golden bell, so that the place where it is held will not be disturbed by external evil spirits. There are four of these objects in total, and they mean to suppress the four directions, right? ? ? Made by copying the curse seal on the Immortal Golden Bell. Four of them are activated at the same time to suppress an evil thing. 】

  【After activation, the soul concentration of the blood provider will be consumed until the end. 】

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

 It turns out there is such a thing.

It looks so cool.

Just one can make the ship he is on stable and not capsize. It is conceivable that the ship where the Kraken is on should also have one of these things, otherwise it will not be able to support it for such a long time.

So, these four Immovable Mountain Curses are not all in the hands of the deducer, right?

 It’s just that the deducers work on their own. Even if the four people with the Immovable Mountain Curse know that this thing is a set, they will not expose it easily. Instead, they will observe others more carefully.

Regardless of what the whole set can suppress, a single wood chip is simply designed to cross the river. It can only defend against the intrusion of evil spirits, but instead restrains the river.

The state of Yejiang cannot be classified as an ordinary river. There must be evil forces obstructing it.

As expected, this is more like a world that proceeds according to a script. The person who wrote the script gives them the props they need exactly so that they can use the prescribed items in the prescribed scenes.

At the moment when Yu Xing's thoughts were swirling, Zhao Yijiu had already dropped a drop of blood on the wood chip, and then threw the wood chip on the ground.

The wooden boat, which was like duckweed, stabilized instantly.

 Wooden chips can only protect the objects they carry. If you want them to support a wooden boat, you cannot touch it with your body. Otherwise, its protection object will be people and cannot extend to the entire hull.

The water ghosts beside the boat stared silently, but none of them touched the edge of the boat anymore. They followed the boat silently, looking for opportunities to strike.

Looking at Zhao Yijiu who acted decisively, Yu Xing frowned slightly: "Why didn't you take it out before? If I had known this, there would be no need to separate the two ships, and there would be no need for you to activate it."

The Immovable Mountain requires "soul concentration" to use. This statement is very strange. According to his idea, the blood of Quinn or Nie Lang should be used.

 He didn't want Zhao Yijiu's soul to leave any hidden dangers.

"I wasn't sure I would use it before, and I just don't want to be on the same boat with them." Zhao Yijius shrugged, with an indifferent expression, "You already gave me a gold hairpin, could you possibly want to give another one as a gift? Two?”

“…Don’t compare yourself in a place like this.” Yu Xing complained.

 In the end, they picked up the two people on the other boat within a minute, because the other boat didn't have the Immovable Mountain Curse and couldn't hold on.

One of the two ships was abandoned here and was soon involved in the whirlpool. They watched helplessly as the ship was shattered into pieces the moment it entered the center of the whirlpool. Ye Jiang made a creepy chewing sound and also Mixed with guffaws.

 After they rounded the whirlpool, the sedan girl's boat drew near.

　　【Task Tip: The sedan girl is in danger! You are reliable reinforcements, please quickly go to the sedan chair girl's ship, follow the master's instructions, and jointly resist Ye Jiang! 】
