Volume 3: New Dynasty Ginseng Fruit Chapter 25 Setting Sail
Wang Liang folded the umbrella without a cover and stood up from the rock he was leaning against.
He looked in the direction the fat white man pointed and found dozens of people pushing a 30-meter-long boat coming from nearby.
Most of those people were wearing linen clothes and looked like servants of the fat white man.
Only the three leaders are eye-catching.
One of them was an old man with a white beard, with muscular body stronger than most of the servants. He wore a short coat with an open collar, and hung an axe and a black gourd on his waist. His eyes looked around, as if everything in front of him was his food.
One was a young man wearing a light blue robe, holding a book in his hand and looking at it, as if nothing could draw him out of the book.
The last one was a man dressed as a general. He was 1.9 meters tall and 1.9 meters around the waist. He wore a complete set of Ming Guang armor and held a battle axe in his hand. You could tell at first glance that he was a fierce general.
Seeing Wang Liang stand up, the fat white man led Wang Liang to his family.
"Let me introduce myself. My last name is Jiang, and you can just call me Brother Jiang. These are my family generals. This one's last name is Bei, and he's responsible for our food supply along the way.
Don't be fooled by his beard, he is very skilled. He can make delicious dishes out of anything. Along the way, we ate snakes, scorpions, bats, centipedes, toads, spiders, pangolins, and wasps. It can be said that he can eat anything he sees. You can't imagine that.
This man's surname is Long. He is my military advisor. He was the one who made all the plans along the way. Although he is as weak as a mortal, many monsters died at his hands along the way.
The last one is General Ju. He is the most powerful general in the world three hundred years ago, and the direct descendant of Ju Wuba, the strange man from Penglai. I spent a lot of money to invite him from the army. He has been the one who fought monsters along the way, and I have never worried about him. "
After Brother Jiang introduced the three subordinates clearly, he looked at Wang Liang.
Wang Liang thought for a moment and said, "I am the versatile Wang Jilong."
"So it's Brother Duocai. Come on, let's get on the boat first. By the way, you don't have much money, right? I see the umbrella you're holding doesn't even have a face. Do you want me to change it for you?"
Wang Liang quickly put the umbrella back when he heard it: "No need, this umbrella is my treasure. I carried it with me all the way here, and it has protected me for a long time."
"I see. But it won't look good without an umbrella cover. By the way, I have some cloth here. You can use it to make an umbrella cover." Brother Jiang said generously.
Wang Liang wanted to refuse but didn't know how to do so. The brother Jiang in front of him didn't let Wang Liang go. He directly took out two pieces of linen and handed them to Wang Liang.
The servants and retainers under his command had long been accustomed to Brother Jiang's attitude. They didn't say anything and just stood there watching Wang Liang accept the linen.
After Wang Liang accepted the linen, Brother Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let's get on the boat quickly. The river is 800 miles wide from front to back, and we will need at least a day and a night to sail."
While they were talking, the servants under Brother Jiang had already pushed the boat into the river.
When Wang Liang got on the boat, he asked, "Brother Jiang, how do you know this river is eight hundred miles wide?"
"There is a tablet over there, on which is written: Eight hundred worlds of flowing sand, three thousand deep waters. Goose feathers cannot float, and reed catkins will sink to the bottom.
I am not uneducated, I know what is going on after a while, but don't worry, I have seen several rivers 800 miles wide before, I guarantee that this boat will be fine."
While they were talking, the boat had been pushed into the river.
The moment the boat entered the water, Wang Liang only felt the boat sink a bit, and then General Ju shouted loudly: "Hold steady, don't panic, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Under his command, the servants controlled the direction of the boat, spread the sails, and sailed the boat smoothly.
After the boat was stable, everyone went about their own business.
The old man named Bei stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the fish shadows flipped up by the waves, wondering if there was anything to eat in the river.
The young man named Long simply took a fishing rod and sat on the side of the boat to start fishing.
The giant general stood at the bow, holding his battle axe and staring at everything in front of him.
Seeing the giant general like this, Brother Jiang said, "He is like this, but he has a good heart. It is all thanks to him that I have been able to arrive at this place safely along the way."
After hearing this, Wang Liang nodded affirmatively. He could see that this great general was a fierce warrior on the battlefield. His strength was at least above 40 points. If he confronted such a person head-on, he would probably be knocked away in the next second.
This kind of person is no match for the enemy on the battlefield. You have to find a way to drag him into a trap and then slowly kill him.
Thinking of this, Wang Liang couldn't help but smile. What happened to him? He had to figure out how to deal with anyone he met. They obviously looked like good people.
While thinking about his own things, Wang Liang suddenly felt a vibration underwater.
The giant general stood up and looked underwater, but found nothing.
Instead, the young man named Long turned his head and looked at the stern: "Bei Ye, what did you see?"
"A fish, a really big fish." The old man surnamed Bei said as he pulled out his small hatchet and stared the underwater.
"Fish? How big is it?"
"It's much bigger than a carriage."
Bear Grylls stared at the water with a serious expression, "From the shape of the fish's mouth, I can tell it's a carnivore."
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Long's face turned serious. He then took out a few books and read them carefully.
When the giant general saw the young man surnamed Long like this, he started to hum, "Uncle Long is good in every way, except for this one thing. What's the point of flipping through books? At a time like this, you should just jump in and fight."
After saying that, the giant general, wearing Ming Guang armor and holding a battle axe, strode to the bow, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water.
The giant general was huge in stature and wearing heavy armor. As soon as he jumped out of the bow, he sank directly into the water.
However, neither Mr. Jiang nor Bear Grylls and Uncle Long stopped the Giant General's behavior. It can be seen that they still have confidence in the Giant General's combat ability.
But the next moment, the situation changed. A huge whirlpool rose under the water, and the huge waves pushed the ship back for a distance.
As soon as Long Bo saw it, he shouted, "Hold steady, take your weapons, be careful, this is a monster."
