Chapter 349 Tang Sect
The sails were filled with sea breeze, and the old brown-black wooden bow cut through the sea, with bits of wave splashing onto the slightly undulating deck from time to time.

Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale.

The young Huashan swordsman Wu Ge reached out and grabbed the railing, his face turning slightly pale.

He didn't want to squeeze into the dark and dim lower cabin filled with the smell of sweat, foot odor and mildew, and would rather stay on the deck.

Relying on the excellent physical fitness gained from years of martial arts training, he was indeed able to barely withstand the shaking and dizziness caused by the ups and downs of the ship, but he still couldn't help feeling timid when he saw the dark clouds and heavy rain covering the sky in the distance, as well as the thunder that occasionally fell in the rain.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, even warriors are nothing more than grasshoppers slightly stronger than ants.

"Well!"

Huiyu stood on the bow deck, looking at the wind and waves in the distance. He seemed to have awakened the feelings of being an interstellar pirate. He squinted his eyes, stroked the railing, and wanted to recite a poem.

When the brain began to think, the sound of the CPU overclocking fan spinning rapidly could be heard from under the skirt. After searching her brain for a while, she suddenly said, "The South China Sea is big, the South China Sea is big, the sea surface is as black as smelly socks, MACHINE-CHECK-EXCEPTION."

Mom can think of a CPU overload blue screen when thinking of a poem, right?

Li Sheng's eyes twitched, and he quickly shook Huiyu's head and pressed her philtrum hard to ask her to restart the phone.

During the reign of Emperor Yongan, the Ming Dynasty actively participated in overseas trade and ocean colonization, so some people along the coast who participated in maritime trade probably knew some English.

So you can’t trick little girls into shouting “Ai Lao Hu You” like in the movies.

"The storm is coming!"

A sailor with a skinny figure like a monkey climbed on the mast and looked out at the sea. The black cloud covering most of the sky was rolling in, and the ferry had no time to avoid it.

"Hold the mainsail!"

The ship owner shouted with a gloomy face, commanding the crew to retract the sails and leave only a small storm sail.

At the same time, go to the lower cabin and move all the heavy objects to the bottom cabin to lower the center of gravity. And close all the gun ports and portholes to prevent water from entering.

The ship owner controlled the rudder, and the second in command ran over and said to the gang members, "Please move to the lower deck. The waves are high and the wind is strong on the deck. It is not safe."

The people in the underworld looked at each other in bewilderment, and most of them followed the sailors to seek refuge below.
A small number of innate masters, such as Jinyiwei Lu Hu, Xiangguo Temple Ku Yu, Longhu Mountain Zhang Fuluan, etc., insisted on staying on the deck.

This could be considered the reserve and pride of some masters. At least the view on the deck was better. Even if a shipwreck really happened, the ship would not sink to the bottom of the sea and become food for fish and shrimps.

Seeing that these innate masters were unwilling to move, the crew stopped persuading them and continued to tighten the mast rigging and crossbeam ropes. They also used hemp ropes to tie themselves to the fence and mast, preparing to withstand the impact of wind and waves.

Wow!
The multi-masted sailing ship rushed into the raging waves, and the untied debris, such as wooden barrels and cargo boxes, were directly lifted high and fell into the sea.

Li Sheng held onto more than a thousand kilograms of ash and stood at the bow, as still as a mountain.

The other innate masters remained silent, using their inner strength to hold on to the wooden boards under their feet and withstand the wind and waves.

The heavy rain poured down on my face and thunder sounded from time to time on the sea, sometimes far away and sometimes near. The scene was like the end of the world.

Huashan swordsman Wu Ge lost his balance and was blown away by the waves, falling off the deck.

His mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a great regret in his heart, "I shouldn't have tried to show off."

He originally wanted to go into the cabin, but seeing that many people stayed on the deck, he, who was attending the birthday banquet on behalf of his master, hesitated for a while and finally stayed.

Seeing that Wu Ge was about to fall into the sea, Zhang Fuluan, a young Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain who was standing not far away, suddenly withdrew his inner strength that was adsorbing the deck, stepped on the wooden planks and flashed to the side of the boat, and with one palm he shook off the hemp rope wrapped around the fence.
Then he swung out a rope and accurately caught Wu Ge who had fallen off the deck.

"rise!"

Zhang Fuluan kicked the guardrail with his feet and pulled hard, like a fisherman who had been fishing for many days and threw the fish ashore in frustration, and he pulled Wu Ge back to the deck.

The whole process was smooth and the movements were quick and decisive.

Even if Li Sheng came to rescue him, he couldn't do a better job - he would most likely shoot Wu Ge directly with his bat claw gun, and then use instant noodles or something to patch up the wound after rescuing him.
"Thank you very much, Taoist Priest!"

Wu Ge was still in shock. Looking at Zhang Fuluan, who was almost the same age as him, or even a few years younger, he felt ashamed and scared.

"polite."

Zhang Fuluan's face was as calm as water. He turned around and looked at the vast sea, his brows almost twisted into a ball.

In the murky water, a huge shadow loomed, swimming around the bottom of the boat.

Perhaps the ferry had intruded into its territory, or perhaps it felt that the strong wind and rough waves at this moment were the best opportunity, so the shadow tentatively crashed into the ferry.

Boom!
A loud noise came from under the boat and the whole boat shook.

Boom! !

There was another collision, the wooden boards creaked, and a hole was opened in one of the watertight compartments on the lower level, and the rolling sea water immediately poured in.

"Full left rudder! Open the starboard gun port!"

The ship owner's voice was almost distorted in the wind and rain, and the sailors tried their best to keep their balance, pushed open the gun ports, and aimed the muzzles at the shadows under the water.

Boom boom boom!

After a salvo of artillery fire, the spherical shells tore through the sea surface, stirring up white waves.

The sounds between heaven and earth seemed to have quieted down, and everyone was waiting. The waves gradually dissipated, and the sea surface turned red, and the smell of blood spread. But the shadow still existed, not only did it not retreat, but it fell into boundless rage.

Huge blue-black tentacles covered with suction cups and barbs were wrapped around the bottom of the boat from all directions. If this ferry had not belonged to the Tu family of Nanhai and was made entirely of high-quality wood that had been dried in the shade for a hundred years, the hull would have been twisted off by now.

"Master Nine Legs, it's Master Nine Legs!"

Many sailors fell into panic and madness. An octopus has eight tentacles, and a total of nine tentacles including its body, so it is called a nine-legged octopus.

Jinyiwei deputy captain Lu Hu was born in Shuntian Prefecture, a true Beijing master.
He had never heard of, nor cared about, the stories about sea monsters passed down by word of mouth by the South China Sea sailors. He immediately drew the Embroidered Spring Sword from his waist, and used all his internal strength to attach it to the blade, as if it was covered with a layer of white gauze.

tear-

He swung his knife at the blue-black tentacles, cutting through the surface flesh like a hot knife through butter, and then, nothing happened.

The solid muscles inside the tentacles firmly clamped the blade of the Xiuchun Knife, preventing the blade from continuing to cut down.

Veins bulged on Land Rover's forehead, and he summoned his inner strength to wrestle silently with the sea monster's tentacles.

He was able to hold on, but the wooden board under his feet could no longer support him and cracked with a snap. Having lost his footing, Lu Hu had no choice but to let go and let the tentacles carry the blade away.

A martial artist at the peak of his innate powers has strong qi and blood, and great stamina. He can even use a millstone as a dumbbell on land.

But if you are helpless and have no foothold on the sea, you will surely be killed by sea monsters if you fall into the sea.

"Master Nine-legged is angry. Throw the living creatures into the sea. Quick!"

The crew roared and shouted, pulled out the cattle, sheep and other livestock on the boat, and pushed them into the sea one by one.

It was not enough, the dark blue tentacles were still wrapped around the hull. Perhaps it had sensed that there were many full-blooded and fully armed villains on this ship, so the nine-legged sea monster was quite cunning and only attacked the bottom of the ship, and no longer extended its tentacles to the deck.

Since offering animals was ineffective, then only.
The ship owner gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and the crew members dragged out an ordinary peasant woman with a swaddling baby in her arms from the lower cabin.

"What are you doing? I'm on the island to visit my husband!"

The peasant woman looked terrified. She didn't have any invitation to the birthday party, she was just taking a boat to find her husband who worked as a farmhand for the Tu family.

"Take it. If we don't let Master Jiujiao go, all of us will die!"

The sailors tried to snatch the swaddling clothes from the peasant woman's arms, but the peasant woman was so eager to protect her child that she held on to the swaddling clothes tightly and refused to let go despite being pulled by a group of people.

"Get out of the way. I'll do it."

A bandit pushed aside the sailors, shook off the peasant woman with one hand, and grabbed the swaddling clothes.

Hui Yu's eyelids twitched slightly. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Li Sheng standing there calmly, with no intention of moving at all.

Eh?
Hui Yu was stunned. Although Li Sheng had killed countless people, saved the Side of Truth, indirectly led to the birth of the Evil Science League, helped Noah sneak into the real world and caused adverse effects, and concocted aura mining machines in the fairy world to destroy the ecological environment,
The culprit has done so many bad things that it is hard to list them all. The forum account of the culprit has been found, @带带大蚍蜉,
But Huiyu really thinks Li Sheng is a good person.

Since Li Sheng didn't move, Hui Yu crossed his arms and watched the situation develop with a frown.

"Wait a minute!"

The square-faced monk Kuyu from Daxiangguo Temple reached out to grab the swaddling cloth. The bandit knew that he was a congenital master and did not dare to fight him, so he immediately raised the swaddling cloth and hit Kuyu's palm.

Ku Yu quickly retracted his palm, leaned back, and spun around like he was skating, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The bandit laughed heartily, picked up the swaddling clothes and was about to throw them off the deck.

Everyone had different expressions. Jinyiwei Lu Hu looked indifferent, Huashan swordsman Wu Ge looked sad, and Longhushan Taoist Zhang Fuluan sighed and murmured, "You will suffer for your own sins."

ka ka ka-

What came from the cradle was not the baby's crying, but the sound of metal mechanisms operating.

The next second, the ceramic cover of the baby, which was as delicate as a porcelain doll, automatically opened up, revealing the sophisticated and complex mechanism hidden underneath.

The mechanism suddenly shot out several thin metal needles. At such a close distance, the bandit had no room to dodge and was pierced directly through the eyes and eyebrows, killing him on the spot.

"hehe."

The middle-aged peasant woman who had a panicked look on her face suddenly changed her expression. She slowly took off her light leather mask and turned into a charming and seductive woman. "I was just worried that I didn't have any invitations."

She pulled the steel needle out of the bandit's face, took the bronze invitation from his arms, and pushed the body into the sea.

A tentacle accurately caught the body in mid-air and slowly sank into the water, and the sea surface gradually returned to calm.

"Tang Clan, Xicai. Greetings to all of you."

The charming woman bowed to everyone on the deck. Huashan swordsman Wu Ge subconsciously returned the bow, then realized something was wrong.

If he had tried to grab the swaddling clothes just now, he would have been the one shot to death by the hidden weapon.

Li Sheng had already seen the truth through the information integration glasses, while Zhang Fuluan of Longhu Mountain determined that the baby in the cradle was not a baby because he could not hear the heartbeat.

Huiyu also reacted belatedly. The left half of the CPU thought that it was no wonder that Li Sheng gave her a hot water bottle before. It turned out that innate warriors had keen senses and might be able to sense body temperature.

The CPU on the right noticed the word "Tang Sect" in the woman's words, and immediately asked Xi Cai, "Are you from Tang Sect? Do you know the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus?"
