C83 fluke

They seemed to be planning on killing me and Tang Rou first.

The surface of the water, which had originally been calm, suddenly stirred up once again.

A column of water over ten feet tall shot out from the river as if attracted by something, its momentum shocking.

While I was in a trance, I seemed to see a dark shadow within the water pillar. It seemed to be a person, but its body was completely different from a person. It only had a pair of enchanting eyes that flickered continuously.

In that instant, the burning sensation on my chest became even more apparent.

This is clearly the sign of encountering something extremely powerful. Before this, I also sensed something when the coffin was opened.

This could prove that the item in the water was not of a low grade.

The people on the other side were also shocked by this scene.

"Don't worry about them for now. I'll trap it, so hurry up and move it to the shore. Once it leaves the water, it won't have much ability left."

Under the long-sleeved man's command, the two hulks originally wanted to deal with me and Tang Rou immediately focused their gaze on the black coffin.

Water continuously splashes. The yellow talisman on top of the coffin is gradually getting wet. I can see a large amount of black gas spreading out from the cracks of the coffin.

I felt that it was a little strange. Since I knew that the thing inside the coffin was powerful, why didn't I use the coffin nail or the iron chain to hold it in place? Instead, I used this kind of yellow talisman.

Furthermore, I am also a bit worried about how I would deal with the items in the coffin if they were to escape from it. To have met with such a powerful water ghost on the ship, it would have been enough to give me a headache.

The strength of the two of them was quite great. They had originally wanted to use a carriage to carry the coffin, but the two of them had suddenly jumped up and quickly moved towards the bow of the ship.

There were a few other people on the shore who were building a simple passage with wooden planks.

At the same time, the long gowned man's tightly tied hair was completely let loose, dancing in the wind and adding a bit more power.

From beginning to end, the man had always been facing the water ghost's position. He muttered some incantations, then suddenly squatted down and inserted something into the deck.

At the same time, the black figure completely revealed itself. It was a human shaped object with a bone in its skin, and its oval shaped head was like a winter melon as it opened its mouth and roared furiously.

Water continued to spurt out from the gaps between its white teeth. Its pair of evil eyes were strange and distorted, constantly emitting vicious rays of light. In its confrontation with the long-sleeved man, the water ghost clearly suffered a loss and fell back into the water.

However, the man didn't seem to be doing very well either. His body was trembling violently. He must have expended a great deal of energy to use this technique just now.

Tang Rou and I were planning on taking advantage of this opportunity to quickly escape, but just as the two of us were about to run over to the side of the huge black coffin, a sudden battle broke out and the ship broke into two halves. A withered black hand came out from the crack, followed by a few corpses that bared their fangs.

It turned out that the man in the long gown who was unable to match the thing's eyesight had actually come up with an idea from the bottom of the boat. No wonder the whole boat had been violently colliding with something this entire time.

Tang Rou and I coincidentally dodged the broken boat, but the other man in black clothing beside us didn't have much luck. With a cry of surprise, he fell into the river with a splash, next to the cabin.

The black claw directly pierced into the man's chest, and large amounts of blood spurted out. Just a moment ago, he was full of energy, but now, his eyes were wide open.

The person in front of him was unable to be saved and the huge black coffin had already lost its balance. With a clanging sound, it stuck itself in the spot where the deck was broken.

However, the remaining strong man had no way of controlling the black coffin. He could only grip the edge of the coffin with all his might and barely held it there.

When we encountered such a situation, Tang Rou and I would naturally take advantage of the chaos and leave. Seeing this, the long-sleeved man next to us immediately rushed over and helped the brawny man move the black coffin up.

At this time, no one took it into consideration. Tang Rou and I, along with the two people on the shore, also ran over and tried to help the black coffin up. However, a black claw once again came out from the water and went through the coffin's lid.

I saw that the skin on the chest of the man in a long gown was already exposed, dripping with blood. It didn't seem like it was scratched, but rather it seemed like it was cut by a knife, probably because he was using the blood sacrifice technique. No wonder this guy was so powerful, he was able to beat this water ghost.

However, as soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, a large amount of black gas immediately gushed out. The faces of the people who were grabbing the coffin became extremely unsightly.

What I saw inside the coffin was astonishingly a naked corpse. Just like what I saw before, this corpse was dried up and covered in skin and bones, but the faint flow of blood could be seen throughout its entire body. It was as though it was a dried corpse.

That thing just happened to see the light of the moon shining down at this time. It looked really real, just like the evil spirits in hell. The unspeakable thing was disgusting and made one's scalp tingle.

"Quickly come and help. Otherwise, once this thing is taken out by the water ghost, the surrounding villages within a hundred mile radius will be annihilated."

As the robed man quickly threw out something similar to a fishing net onto the corpse, he shouted at us.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but stop in my tracks.

In this situation, there was no time to determine whether the words spoken by the man in the long gown were real or fake.
