The battle underwater was dangerous and silent, but nothing could be seen above the water.
"Wow!" The river wind blew quickly, and the waves rushed to the bottom of the boat.
The big ship rocked and creaked in the wind and waves.
Everyone on the boat was unable to stand firmly and had to hold on to the railing tightly.
"Master, be careful!"
The Ministry of Revenue official grabbed the railing with one hand and supported Prince Xiang with the other, and said loudly, "The wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger. Master, you'd better go back to the cabin first! We can guard here."
Prince Xiang's face turned pale and he frowned: "No need!"
"Master..."
"Quick, pull hard! Bring the people up!" the boss of the boat shouted loudly.
Several sailors rushed to the railing and threw down the rope ladder: "Fourth, come up quickly!"
The sailor who was pulled to the side of the ship by the rope grabbed the rope ladder, climbed up with difficulty, grabbed his companion's hand, climbed over the railing and fell to the deck, gasping for air, with an expression on his face as if he was surviving a disaster.
Upon seeing this, King Xiang hurried over and asked, "Are you okay?"
The sailor gasped and shook his head.
The boat boss immediately asked: "What's going on in the water?"
The sailor panicked and said: "Something is pulling me! It keeps grabbing my feet with great force. I was almost dragged down!"
As he spoke, he sat up and opened his trousers, revealing several bruises on his calves.
Many sailors gasped: "Is there really a water ghost?"
The boss of the boat bent down, stretched out his hand to show the mark, and his face immediately turned ugly: "It's not a water ghost! This is a mark made by human hands!"
"Is there anyone under the water?"
"Is it a water bandit?!"
The sailors became even more panicked when they heard this, "The fifth child, the third child, they were all dragged down!"
"Boss, didn't you say that the water bandits only seek wealth and not life?" King Xiang asked with a livid face, "What's going on?"
"This situation has never happened before, I..." The boss of the ship didn't know how to explain.
At this time, the guard in front of the railing at the edge of the deck shouted: "There is blood on the river!"
Prince Xiang suddenly turned his head and rushed to the railing.
The captain of the ship and other sailors also hurried over and looked down from the railing.
"hiss--"
I don't know who gasped.
By the light of the torches on the deck, everyone could see that on the river surface on one side of the ship, the originally white water waves were surging, and a large area of scarlet blood surged up, and was quickly swept away by the waves.
The white waves were dyed scarlet, quickly faded into light red, and were then washed away by the current.
"Why is there so much blood...could it be a dead person?" The sailors turned pale with fright.
"This seems to be the place where the guard jumped just now!"
"Could it be..."
A sailor with sharp eyes suddenly saw something and raised his hand.
"Look, look, what's floating on the water!"
Everyone immediately followed the direction and looked over. At the edge of the torch light, there was a human-shaped black shadow floating in the waves, appearing and disappearing, and was about to be washed away by the river.
The sailors tried their best to open their eyes, but could not see clearly: "It seems to be a person...?"
"Maybe it's the driftwood on the river..."
Prince Xiang grabbed the railing and looked uneasily for a moment. He couldn't help but ask Zhan Beihan in a low voice: "Shen...will she be okay?"
