Only then did the frightened sailors on the boat react and hurriedly looked for ropes, becoming a mess.

Several wooden sticks tied with ropes were thrown into the water with force, landing not far in front of the two panicked sailors.

The sailors on the ship shouted: "Hurry and grab the stick, we will pull you up!"

The two sailors swam forward with all their strength and were about to reach out and grab the stick.

suddenly--

"Gululu!"

One of the sailors suddenly sank to the surface of the river. In the blink of an eye, his head was submerged, and large waves of bubbles rushed up.

"Ahhhh!!!" The last remaining sailor watched helplessly as his companion was dragged into the water. He was so frightened that he screamed and swam forward with tears streaming down his face. He clung to the wooden stick thrown in front of him.

"Quick! Pull up!" the boat boss roared.

Seven or eight sailors on the boat worked together to pull the rope back. The last sailor in the water was like a swordfish, being carried by the rope and rushed towards the side of the boat, drawing a white line on the rough river surface.

of waterline.

At this moment, Xiao Lingyue, who had been staring closely at the river, suddenly said, "There is someone under the water!"

"Where?" Zhan Beihan asked immediately.

"Gone..."

Xiao Lingyue stared closely at a certain point on the river, "Just now a figure rushed past from the water, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye!"

The light was poor at night, and the surroundings of the ship were only illuminated by torches inserted on the edge of the deck.

The river wind happened to blow again, and the torches were blown brightly and dimly. The firelight shone on the turbulent river, and there were sparkling reflected water lights everywhere. It was really difficult to see clearly what was going on in the water.

Zhan Beihan saw nothing, and there was a cold light in his condensed eyes: "Are you sure it's a human figure?"

"I'm not sure. I only saw a vague shadow that slid past like a human being." Xiao Lingyue said with a frown.

The household official next to him shuddered: "Isn't it a water ghost?"

"Where in the world do water ghosts come from?!" King Xiang scolded.

At this time, the sailor who was being pulled to the side of the ship screamed: "Ah! Something is catching me!!"

Everyone looked over quickly and saw with their own eyes the sailor sinking into the water, submerging his head and then struggling to emerge from the water. He was so frightened that he screamed and burst into tears: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost under the water pulling me, please save me!"

Help..."

"Pull harder!" the boat boss roared.

Other sailors rushed over and helped pull the rope hard.

"Help...Gulu...Help..." The sailor in the river was holding on to the hemp rope tightly, as if his whole body was hung up by a weight, and he was flowing into the water uncontrollably.

It sank and floated, struggling desperately.

He was so frightened that he screamed loudly, and the river water poured into his mouth and nose. He was choked and couldn't swim at all. If he hadn't been holding the rope in his hand, he would have been dragged into the water long ago.

"Fourth, hold on! We'll pull you up right away!"

The sailors on the boat were circling around anxiously, throwing themselves at the railing and shouting, "Hold on!"

Looking at the last sailor struggling in the water, Zhan Beihan's face turned ugly, and he suddenly grasped the railing tightly.

Xiao Lingyue held down his hand and glared at him with a frown: "You don't know how to swim, are you going down there to die?"

Zhan Beihan: "..."

Xiao Lingyue whispered: "The situation is not quite right. You stay with Prince Xiang while I go down."

Zhan Beihan's eyes narrowed: "No!"

The light was so poor that no one knew what was going on underwater or how many people were hiding.

What's the difference between going down alone and seeking death?

Zhan Beihan grabbed her wrist with his backhand and said in a low and cold voice: "It's useless for you to go, it's too late!"

"The guards on the ship don't know how to swim, and the crew and sailors don't know martial arts. If they go down, they will die. Someone has to go down to see the situation, and I can only go."

Xiao Lingyue spoke quickly and broke away from his hand after speaking.
