Volume 3: Summoning Demons Chapter 21: Can't Get Ashore

Of course, having a boat does not mean that you can set off to Lijia Village immediately.

They also needed a boatman.

Unfortunately, there are no boatmen anymore.

These days, rivers are becoming more and more dangerous. Fewer people are willing to get close to the rivers, let alone sail on them.

Lu Bai looked for many families, but no one was willing to get on the boat.

Until an old man who was sitting at the door drinking, he could hear the scolding of his young daughter-in-law and the whispered persuasion of his son in the gatehouse.

When he heard Lu Bai's request, he made a money symbol.

After taking the money, he threw it into the room, picked up the wine jug and got on the boat with Lu Bai.

He pulled the sail rope, stretched it skillfully, and felt the wind on the river. At this moment, he looked a little younger.

Lu Bai did chat with the old man for a few minutes afterwards, learned some knowledge about controlling the sail and using the oars, and then didn't say anything more.

Let the old guy enjoy driving the boat for the last time.

The three greatest hardships in life are rowing a boat, forging iron and making tofu.

For some people, suffering is a lifetime, but this life of suffering is worth savoring.

The voyage on the river went smoothly at first, but when it was halfway through, it started to get haunted.

Something always hit the boat, causing it to shake violently.

And somehow, some fishy-smelling algae appeared on the boat.

Although the ship was still sailing, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before it sank.

Bodhisattva Li looked relatively calm, but in fact his legs were weak.

On the other side, the little red-skinned fat boy Chi Gan performed even worse. If he hadn't lost some functions, he would have probably peed himself.

The old man was quite calm. He took a sip of wine and continued sailing.

Lu Bai chuckled, not paying any attention to the unusual happenings on the boat, his eyes fixed on the wandering black shadow in the river.

Very good, although this world has more spiritual abilities, it is not entirely spiritual.

Even though some evil spirits are transformed from spiritual desires, for various reasons, most of the abilities they possess are physical.

And as long as it's on the physical side, it's fine.

Lu Bai pulled the hemp rope.

Chi Gan, who was crouching with his head in his hands, hadn't reacted yet and was thrown out with a cry of "Ah~~". Then he fell into the river with a "plop", and landed next to the black shadow, and then shook rapidly.

Lu Bailiu's simulated live fishing method - fast shaking lure method!

Then the black shadow was not interested in the little red-skinned fat man at all, but was very interested in Lu Bai and his group's boat.

In response, Lu Bai was not in a hurry. He pulled Chi Gan out and threw him out again.

This time, the red-skinned fat man hit the black shadow directly.

Lu Bailiu's pseudo-live fishing method, style 2: violent head-smacking provocation!

You may not care about an apple falling from a tree, but when it hits you on the head, you will definitely eat it.

The black shadow thought so too, and the fish took the bait.

The big black shadow bit the fat red man, and the next moment, he felt a terrifying force pulling along the rope on the fat red man's body.

The hemp rope instantly became taut, and the thing hidden under the river gradually revealed itself.

Bodhisattva Li collapsed to the ground instantly and vomited.

"A human-shaped crocodile!" Lu Bai looked at the thing and gave his comment.

It's not a crocodile that looks like a human, but a human made to look like a crocodile.

His feet came together to form the crocodile's tail.

Starting from both sides of the mouth, a crack appeared, spreading to the neck and to the lower chest.

The turned outward ribs become the teeth next to the "big mouth".

The human body was swollen and looked extremely huge.

At this time, Chi Gan was being bitten in the stomach by this humanoid crocodile, and the foul gastric juice was constantly corroding his red skin.

Seeing this opportunity, Lu Bai loosened the hemp rope in his hand slightly. If he continued to pull it, the rope might break.

He turned over, jumped off the boat, and kicked the humanoid crocodile directly.

The kick, which was filled with internal force, directly kicked off several pieces of flesh and skin of the humanoid crocodile, and even broke several bones underneath.

Lu Bai is not good at light work, but he is good at swimming.

However, after seeing this humanoid crocodile, he no longer had the urge to go down and take a bath.

With a force in his hands, the hemp rope tightened again, and Chi Gan successfully escaped from the evil spirit's mouth.

It swung towards the mast and tied itself to it.

Lu Bai pulled the hemp rope, stepped on the edge of the boat, and returned to the boat.

Turning back and looking at the human-shaped crocodile, the flesh and bones that had been torn off its body were rushing towards it against the river.

It was like a young swallow flying into the forest, quickly returning to the human-shaped crocodile.

"Since he died from being torn apart, his desires before death were all about repairing himself?"

After being kicked, the humanoid crocodile no longer bothered the boat and turned around and swam into the deep water.

Back then, he was hit by a knife that fell from the sky, like a pig, and was almost cut in half by the knife.

From then on, he absolutely didn't want to be separated from his flesh and blood again.

The man didn't dare to get close to the river, so after he escaped by chance, he stayed in the river.

It usually feeds on all kinds of flesh and blood, as well as anything that comes close to the river from the shore.

Even though he was a little crazy, he still knew who was not easy to mess with and would not go out of his way to cause trouble.

And another guy had already boarded that guy's boat.

"How long will it take?" Lu Bai asked.

"It will take another three hours." The old man looked at the location and immediately said with certainty: "Of course, the premise is that this kind of thing will not happen again."

"I can't guarantee that, just drive the boat with peace of mind." Lu Bai glanced at the algae under his feet and looked around the not-so-big sailboat.

Obviously, in addition to the humanoid crocodile, there are other evil creatures eyeing this ship.

And it is obvious that this evil is not as simple as the physical side.

But the opponent did not attack immediately, which shows that his ability is not that strong. As long as he is not hit directly, he can probably solve the problem.

The rest of the voyage was much more boring.

It's just that the algae on the boat are growing more and more for some unknown reason.

The whole ship does not look like a ship that can sail on the river, but more like a sunken ship that has been submerged in the water for who knows how long.

Gradually, the whole ship became slower and slower, until it finally stopped in the middle of the river.

"I can't go on." The old man said as he took another sip of wine.

"Can we still get the boat over there?" Lu Bai asked.

"The whole ship couldn't move."

"This place isn't far from Lijia Village, right?" Lu Bai looked towards the shore, and saw the familiar forest.

"Not really, but it's about right." The old man said, "I haven't been here for so long that these places have become unfamiliar."

"Let's go and swim over ." Lu Bai looked at the increasing algae, mentioned Li Bodhisattva, and then looked at the old man.

"I won't go. I'm too old to get on shore."

When Lu Bai climbed ashore, he looked back and saw that the entire ship had been dragged into the water by a large amount of algae.

The green algae make the water surface green.

The old man saw a large number of people hugging each other among the algae.

"Come sink to the bottom of the river with us!"
