The next day, Luo Kai followed Big Beard to the small dock by the Dragon Rebel River. Both sides of the Dragon Rebel River were fertile fields. Early spring was the busy season for farming. A large number of farmers were working hard in the fields. It was a lively and peaceful scene.
Luo Kai was not in the mood to fish. He lay in the canopy with a melancholy face and looked at the crystal finger in his hand. After one night, the originally colorless crystal was covered with blood-red lines and skin tissue was growing on the surface. It would not be long before it would be no different from other fingers.
It seemed that it had no effect on his body, but he was still very uneasy. This crystal was obviously a life form that he could not understand. Now it was like it was being parasitized by a parasite. This thing must be using his body as nourishment.
The roar of a steam motor outside interrupted his thoughts. A long and narrow steamship was approaching. Big Beard hurriedly paddled the boat far away. If it was hit by such a mechanical iron ship, his small canopy would probably be smashed into pieces.
Luo Kai also hurriedly came out to help him paddle. The iron ship passed in front of them. It was a ship with white paint. It looked a bit like a cruise ship. It looked extremely gorgeous. There was a row of armed soldiers standing on the side of the ship. A girl in a snow-white dress was standing at the bow. Beside her was a young man in his twenties. Luo Kai felt that the young man was somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him.
The girl on the ship looked at the fields by the shore and said softly, "What a beautiful scenery." Her voice was crisp and pleasant.
The young man said attentively, "Cousin, do you want to go down and take a look? The small porpoises in the Dragon Rebel River are very delicious."
Seeing the girl nod, the young man immediately ordered the ship to drop anchor. The iron ship slowly approached the shore. A group of soldiers surrounded the girl and walked towards the fields.
"This little girl's skin is really f * cking good looking!" Big Beard's eyes widened, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Luo Kai was somewhat speechless. This old man was already over fifty years old. How could he still be so shameless? However, he couldn't help but turn his head to look. This time, he saw the face clearly. It was indeed a very beautiful little girl. She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Her small face was delicate, and her hair was jet-black. She was wearing a snow-white fox collar cotton-padded jacket. She was like a white lotus that had just bloomed.
Luo Kai unconsciously compared himself with Lu Qing. They both had their own advantages.
"Motherf * cker, I don't know which little bastard will benefit from this little girl's skin. Sigh, good cabbages are all eaten by pigs." Big Beard suddenly spat into the water and cursed.
Luo Kai ignored Big Beard's nagging and went back to sleep. This time, he was not only weak physically, but also mentally. He needed a lot of sleep.
Just as he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a mournful scream. Big Beard's frightened voice followed, "Big … monster!"
Luo Kai hurriedly rushed out of the boat. Not far from the shore, a strange fish that was almost two meters long was rolling and biting a farmer who had fallen into the water. Bursts of blood kept flowing out. The farmer was torn apart by the strange fish in an instant. There was no time to save him.
At this time, another scream came from the other side of the shore. It was the young girl. She was washing her face and rinsing her mouth when she suddenly saw this terrifying scene. She slipped and fell into the water. The current of the river in early spring was extremely fast. The young girl's body was immediately sucked into the turbulent river.
"Cousin!"
The young man on the shore screamed and hurriedly rushed over. When he got close, he didn't dare to jump. He could only shout orders to his subordinates. Several guards were frightened and didn't dare to jump. Seongma Province was located in the south. Most people were good at swimming. However, the scene of the big fish eating a man was too shocking.
Luo Kai hesitated and said to Big Beard, "Big Beard, go to the shore first!
I'll go down and try! "
Big Beard was stunned. He said in surprise, "You're crazy!
There's a big fish in the water that eats people! "
Luo Kai stripped down to his underwear, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water. When he entered the water again, he felt a wonderful sense of belonging. Countless subtle fluctuations entered his mind, and he instantly sensed the position of the girl. The turbulent river immediately became gentle when it came into contact with his body, gently circling around him as he slid in the water. His speed was no slower than that of a swimming fish.
As he got closer, he suddenly saw a huge shadow appear in the water. It was the strange fish. Luo Kai saw the face of the big fish clearly. It was a creature that looked like a crocodile. The only difference was that its limbs had all degenerated and disappeared. Only its giant mouth was bigger. Rows of sharp teeth were exposed outside its lips, and there was a long and narrow bone spur on its long tail.
The strange fish looked at Luo Kai with its cold vertical eyes and then looked at the girl on the other side. It seemed to be hesitating who to eat. In the end, it chose the girl because Luo Kai had an aura that made it uncomfortable.
After a short moment of absent-mindedness, the girl remembered the essentials of swimming. She tried to swim to the shore.
"Be careful, that fish is chasing after you!"
The girl hurriedly looked back. Her recovered state of mind was suddenly disturbed. She forgot how to swim and choked on several mouthfuls of water in panic. Her eyelids rolled and she fainted.
Chaotic gunshots sounded. The people on the shore were also shooting to help. However, the strange fish's scales were incomparably tough. The bullets only slightly dented the surface. They actually couldn't penetrate it. Moreover, it stimulated the strange fish's ferocity and its speed increased by a bit.
Seeing the strange fish quickly approaching the girl with its bloody mouth slightly open, Luo Kai cursed. He could only stimulate his heartbeat again and forcibly raise the frequency of his consciousness. The surging river instantly reached some kind of resonance with his consciousness. He suddenly slapped the river in front of him.
The girl who was about to die was suddenly thrown up high by a current. The strange fish was startled when it bit the air. It then opened its mouth to meet the girl's landing position.
At this moment, Luo Kai also swam to the front. He took a deep breath and jumped up from the water with the help of the current. He grabbed the girl in his arms before the strange fish could reach her and hurriedly swam to the shore.
It wasn't that he didn't want to kill the strange fish, but that he couldn't. His current physical strength was probably about the same as a ten-year-old child. Although he could control the current, the current didn't have any lethality. During this period of time, his spirit was sluggish, so he didn't have the opportunity to study the method of using the current to deal with the enemy.
The strange fish was very angry. Its tail vigorously paddled and rushed over like a sharp sword.
When it came to the use of water, Luo Kai wasn't inferior to the creatures in the water. He nimbly dodged to the side.
If he was alone, even the strange fish in the water couldn't do anything to him. However, it was different with a person in his arms. Moreover, the girl kept struggling after waking up. Her beautiful fists were like heavy hammers to his chest. His weak body couldn't bear the force. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Luo Kai was so angry that his teeth itched. "If you move again, I'll throw you away!"
The girl's face was sprayed with blood. She couldn't help but calm down.
The strange fish surrounded the two of them and continuously attacked. Luo Kai dodged by a hair's breadth each time. Gradually, his breathing became somewhat irregular and his face became pale. His current physical function didn't allow him to do such violent movements. He estimated the distance to the shore. Gritting his teeth, he summoned up his remaining strength and threw the girl to the shore. He turned to look at the strange fish with a fierce gaze.
