Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 833 Heavy Loss (4000)

Obviously, the bugs that appeared this time were not the same as those found in the floating corpses.

However, at this moment, Wu Liang didn't have any time to think and analyze, so he could only make the most beneficial decision based on the current actual situation.

"Dian Wei, quickly cut off all the bugs wrapping around the ship!"

Wu Liang gave Dian Wei an order in a hasty tone, then turned his head to look at Yang Wanli, and asked loudly, "Yang Wanli, has anyone been rescued?"

"My lord, those two brothers sank immediately after falling into the water, and I couldn't find their trace!"

Yang Wanli replied annoyed and apologetic.

Several soldiers at the bow were still using the long poles in their hands to search the water, but unfortunately they never got anything.

Apparently, those two soldiers from the Huan army didn't just simply fall into the water. After falling into the water, they were probably attacked by insects immediately. People with fairly good water skills, under normal circumstances, they can float up quickly by themselves if they accidentally fall into the water.

Is it finally inevitable that casualties will be avoided?

Wu Liang was also very upset in his heart. He cherished these soldiers under his command very much, and always made the most appropriate arrangements as much as possible. Therefore, since he took charge of the Liren Army, there has never been a single casualty in the army.

However this time...

If the two soldiers of the Huren army were attacked by such bigger insects immediately after falling into the water, and they were dragged directly to the bottom of the water, I am afraid that the chance of surviving would be very slim. The situation is completely different. The bugs here are obviously more powerful, and the number is definitely more astonishing. They even show a certain amount of organization and wisdom. In this case, it is difficult for his water control technique to play a decisive role.

at the same time.

"My lord, Wei has cut off all these big worms, but there are more worms protruding from the water!"

"Brother talented, there are bugs coming out of the water!"

"Wu Youcai, we are here too!"

"My lord, there are insects on the bow of the boat that are entangled with our pole!"

"My lord, I'm afraid we are surrounded by insects in all directions..."

"..."

Everyone in the Huanren Army hurriedly reported the situation to Wu Liang, hoping that he would make a quick decision.

At this moment, everyone fully understands the current situation. I am afraid that not only are there such insects in all directions, but the entire water area is full of these insects.

They even fully imagined that if it wasn't for the large amount of mud and sand in the Yellow River, which was so turbid that they wouldn't be able to see the underwater situation at all, otherwise they would definitely see a terrifying scene from the water that they would never forget , and even looking around, the entire underwater area is filled with the creepy red color unique to this kind of bug.

"Hold on firmly!"

At this moment, everyone in the Huan army was in a desperate situation. Wu Liang really couldn't care about the two Huan army soldiers who fell into the water.

"Wow wow wow!"

There were more than a dozen eddies with extremely fast flow around the boat, and the vortexes turned faster and faster. After only one breath, with the sound of "sucking and sucking", the water surface in the center of the vortex sank by more than two meters. .

Affected by the currents from different directions, the boat was also swaying non-stop. Even though the people in the Liren army were holding on to the hull firmly, they were still swaying uncontrollably.

But it did work.

I saw that those big insects that had already protruded from the water surface seemed to be caught by something at the same time as these eddies appeared, and soon dived down again at an extremely fast speed.

Not only that.

In the huge water flow of the vortex, everyone could also see a few bugs that emerged from the water and swirled with the floating corpses in the floating corpse array, and then were quickly sucked into the center of the vortex, without even the slightest room for struggle.

"go!"

Seeing that the siege of the bugs was temporarily lifted, Wu Liang immediately stabilized the water a little, and shouted at the Huan army again.

The water situation stabilized slightly, and the people in the Zhuan army finally stood still. They quickly swung the oars to make the boat continue to move forward.

In such a flash of effort, everyone has passed through half of the floating corpse array, and there is only about the last 50 meters left before landing on the "Xianshan".

However this time.

"Wow-wow-wow-"

The area of ​​water that just passed had even greater waves churning, and even the powerful vortex created out of thin air by Wu Liang's water control technique was greatly affected by it.

"?!"

Wu Liang looked back subconsciously.

He knew better than anyone that this movement was not made by him.

As for those bugs, the largest ones I have seen so far are only the thickness of an adult man's arm. Although the length is not easy to say, but with the size and strength of this bug, it is not enough to make such a big wave.

"Hold on tight, everyone!"

After seeing the huge waves, the unstoppable water flow hit the boat from behind, Wu Liang reminded everyone while using the technique of water control to stabilize the water as much as possible.

"Wow—!"

As soon as the words fell, the boat was already swinging high in the current, and then quickly fell down, hitting the water with a loud noise.

"Crack!"

The two logs fixed around the hull unexpectedly couldn't bear the force and snapped.

Even the bottom of the two connected boats has cracks, and the river water is rapidly seeping into the cabin along the cracks, making a desperate "gurgling" sound.

"Gentleman, it's bad! The boat is leaking!"

Cao Ni was also pale at the moment, and shouted at Wu Liang in a bewildered state.

"Everyone, don't panic, hold on, we are less than ten feet away from the shore, everyone is rowing hard, as long as the boat can support us until we reach the shore, we will be safe!"

Wu Liang shouted loudly to everyone.

Although the huge wave just now caused quite serious damage to their boat, it also pushed them forward a lot. This is the best news at this moment.

"Quick! Row with me if you want to survive!"

Yang Wanli also threw away the long pole in his hand, picked up an engineering shovel and used it as an oar to paddle the water vigorously.

While talking.

Wu Liang was still looking back nervously... It didn't matter this look, Wu Liang's scalp felt numb again immediately.

I saw a turbulent current rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed tens of meters away. It was definitely not a normal wave, but something underwater was approaching them quickly!

"Fuck!"

Wu Liang's heart tightened, and he cursed secretly.

He had to do something at this moment, otherwise, if he was caught up by that underwater thing... Wu Liang didn't know what would happen, but at this moment their boat couldn't hold up anymore, and the thing destroyed the boat and made them all fall into the water. In the water, the consequences will be disastrous!

Facing such a hopeless situation, Wu Liang's mind turned sharply.

Fortunately, through what happened just now, a hint of inspiration soon appeared in his mind.

Immediately after that, he used Yushui to control the water to control the waves in the river behind the hull. This wave was more than three meters high, which was slightly larger than the wave he had just endured.

Under normal circumstances, even the most experienced sailors are unwilling to bear such waves, especially this kind of small fishing boat, which is slightly larger than a canoe. Even if two small fishing boats are connected together, they are still fixed with logs Increased stability will also make it impossible for people to withstand such huge waves.

But now Wu Liang couldn't take care of so much anymore.

He only knows one thing now, and that is that he must leave this water area as soon as possible, otherwise they may encounter even more terrible things... Especially the thing that caused the Yellow River to stir up turbulent waves just now, although he has not seen its body yet, but It's not hard for Wu Liang to imagine how terrifying it is, it's probably not something he is qualified to contend with!

"Hold on tight, everyone!"

Wu Liang shouted again.

The already precarious boat swung high again, this time Wu Liang even controlled the river water at the bottom of the boat to give the boat some strength to make it swing higher.

"Ugh--!"

The boat flew straight up, and everyone couldn't help but let out a scream, and even felt the obvious weightlessness.

next moment.

"Oh!"

With a loud noise, the boat fell into the water again.

This time it was not so lucky.

"Crack!"

In addition to the direct rupture of the surrounding logs, the boat was instantly torn apart, turning into a pile of fragments floating on the water.

Everyone then fell into the water.

Fortunately, there were no accidents in Wu Liang's plan. They landed less than three meters away from the river bank.

"Don't worry about anything, go ashore quickly!"

The force of this fall was not small, even with the river water as a buffer, Wu Liang felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart, but at this moment, he couldn't care about so much, and he immediately shouted to everyone when he stood up from the water.

Everyone was also thrown into a mess.

But when they heard Wu Liang's voice, everyone quickly got up from the water, supported each other and climbed to the shore.

……

Ever since Wu Liang took charge of the Huren army, he had never been in such a mess as today.

Although everyone managed to complete the landing, almost everyone was injured to some extent, and most of them were scratched or bruised by debris from the boat.

One unlucky soldier had his calf pierced by a wooden splinter.

Fortunately, except for the two soldiers who fell into the water at the beginning, the rest of them saved their lives. This is the luck of misfortune.

In addition, those materials that cannot get wet have also been completely destroyed.

However, most of the materials were left on the opposite river bank due to the limitation of the carrying capacity of the boat, so Wu Liang and others were not poor, but those materials would only have a chance to be used when they returned.

"what!"

"It hurts, can you be gentle!"

"What does it have to do with me? Young master's shochu is so irritating when it touches the wound."

"Be patient, this is the order of the young master. He said that there are too many floating corpses in the river, and the river water is definitely not clean. Anyone who has a wound on his body must be sterilized with shochu. If you have any opinions, please talk to the young master."

"Hehe, you're beating me with your son, aren't you?"

"..."

Did ghosts and wolves howl among the crowd, but now that they have landed, everyone's spirits are slightly relaxed, so they talk more.

But at this moment Wu Liang was still staring at the river that he had crossed before.

At this moment, the surface of the river has returned to calm, and the floating corpses are no longer slowly floating in the direction of the pointer, but gathered in a large piece irregularly like in the beginning.

In the middle of this piece of floating corpses, there is a floating corpse that is slightly higher.

It's not because this floating corpse is taller and swollen than other floating corpses, but because there is something in the water below it, which slightly floats to the surface, thus pushing up the floating corpse.

Besides.

Although there is a piece of muddy river water under the floating corpse, a huge shadow can still be seen...

Wu Liang couldn't see what it was either.

But he could clearly feel that he was being watched by that thing, so that there was always a chill covering the vest, accompanied by a palpitation.

"Son..."

Yang Wanli came to report after making some statistics, "The medicine powder we carried has all been destroyed, and all the rations have been wet by the river water. I'm afraid that after being soaked in such river water, even if it dries up, we can't eat it anymore. The only ones that have not been affected so far are the weapons and tools."

"It's okay."

Wu Liang came back to his senses and said, "I see that the vegetation here is lush, and there are many birds resting in the forest. Food should not be a problem. As for those medicinal powders, they can only work at certain times, so they are not necessary. The most important thing is to help everyone take care of the wounds to avoid infection... By the way, I will go to build two bonfires and teach everyone to dry their clothes before talking about other things, but don't teach anyone to go deep into the 'Xianshan' for now. Just pick some dry firewood around here."

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded, and then limped away.

After Yang Wanli left, Wu Liang finally stood up with his teeth bared. His tailbone was knocked just now, and now he finally felt a little better, but he still needed to stand with his legs crossed.

Looking intently at the unknown thing hidden under a floating corpse in the water.

"Wow—!"

A spring appeared, and turned the floating corpse upside down.

But the unknown thing hidden under the floating corpse did not appear. It seemed that it had sensed the current in advance and dived to other places.

"I have written down this grudge, and I will repay it in the future!"

Wu Liang swore in a cold voice.

Not only was he provoked by the fountain created by Wu Liang's technique of controlling water, but he also felt the hostility in Wu Liang's eyes...

"Wow—!"

Immediately, another huge wave with a height of one foot suddenly rose in the water, and the huge wave quickly rolled over and made a huge noise on the shore, as if responding to Wu Liang.

"..."

Everyone in the Huanren Army was also taken aback by the news of the comeback, and all looked solemnly at the river.

It seems that the return journey will be even more difficult...
