Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 306 Water Bandits
The torrential rain fell hard, lashing the ground like a whip, driving the entire Blackwater River forward.

The roof of the boat was covered with foam.

Liang Qu stood under the eaves of the boat, looking at the raindrops falling into the low hills on both sides, washing down and forming waterfalls.

Occasionally, trees collapsed, sweeping away rocks and yellow mud, which fell into the Blackwater River, spreading large areas of yellow mud, which were then washed away and diluted by the fast-flowing water.

“The water level is going down.”

Looking down at Liangqu, we saw that there were bare rock walls several meters above the junction of the river line and the mountain. There was no vegetation cover and it was not caused by a landslide. This was the case as the boat traveled along the way.

It rained heavily, but the water level of the Blackwater River did not rise, but instead dropped!

So much rainfall cannot disappear out of thin air. There must be another place to replace the Blackwater River to absorb all the excess water and become the dumping ground.

The branching lightning dimmed.

The scout Awei flapped his wings, flashed from the sky, and flew to the bow. He trembled his wings, shook off the water droplets, and the two tentacles on his forehead swayed gently.

Liang Qu's eyes flashed: "Is there anyone nearby?"

Awei shook his head.

Liang Qu took out the map and glanced at it.

There were clearly no marked villages or settlements nearby.

Who runs to the banks of the Blackwater River during a flood?
"Go and see."

Awei rushed into the rain.

Places with abundant water often have lush vegetation.

A small village on a hill is hidden between two low mountains.

It was drizzling and the dense forest made it very secluded.

With the help of a pole and water splashing down, the sheepskin raft was carried along by the rapid current and crashed into the shore.

Two men in straw raincoats jumped off the raft and went ashore. One of them tied the rope tightly, and the other rushed into the small village and shouted.

Someone on the sentry post took off his bamboo hat and said, "What are you making so much noise for? Can you let me sleep?"

"Here comes the fish, here comes the fish!"

"Fish are coming?" The sentry pointed to the sky. "Are you seeing right? Fish are coming in this kind of weather? It's raining so hard that you mistook the tree for a boat?"

"Bullshit." The man in the straw raincoat cursed, "My hair is shining brightly, how could you miss it after all these years?"

The sentry turned over and sat up: "Big fish or small fish?"

"Big fish! I saw it with my own eyes. There was a big maroon horse on the boat! It's worth at least that much!" The man in the straw raincoat raised two fingers.

Quite a few.

The sentry hurriedly opened the door and let the two men in straw raincoats in. After a few shouts, the whole village quickly woke up.

"Boss, boss! There's a big fish outside!"

"Big fish?" Lu Xinqing opened his eyes and was puzzled by the sound of rain outside. "Has the rain stopped?"

"I didn't stop. I came in the rain."

"Didn't stop?" Lu Xinqing sat up from the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, "Explain it clearly."

"Zhang Shun and Guan Xian caught him. They are waiting in the hall!"

The Blackwater River flows fast and the fish swim quickly.

Lu Xinqing did not dare to neglect.

"go!"

Dozens of pirates rushed into the hall.

Lu Xinqing put his arms into his sleeves and came out from the small door on the side to ask for details.

"Boss, the rain was so heavy that we couldn't see clearly. We only saw a big chestnut horse kneeling in the middle of the boat. I knew it was a good horse from a distance, worth at least two hundred taels!"

More than two hundred!
The pirates were in an uproar.

"Are you sure it's a boat?"

"Yes, the size of the boat is not wrong. Who would load such a good horse on a small boat? It must be a horse dealer who is in a hurry! It's unfortunate that there is a flood. We can rob him without anyone knowing! No one will find him!"

Guan Xian agreed: "That's right, it must be the horse dealer! Let's get ready quickly, the water is too strong today, if we let him through, we will definitely not be able to catch him!"

Lu Xinqing's mind was working rapidly.

It is not easy to be a pirate. You don’t have the strength to attack big ships, so you can only rob small boats. How much can a small boat be worth?

They are all old fishermen, and their old bones are worth little money even if they are sold.

Zhang Shun and Guan Xian, who don't know much about horses, can't tell whether it's good or bad. The two hundred taels must be bragging, for fear of letting the big fish go. In fact, Lu Xinqing was so depressed that he had sores.

For a horse, the minimum price is several dozen taels.

The knife in my hand is full of nicks and I've long wanted to change it.

Lu Xinqing did not hesitate.

"Jie!"

“Okay!” The big man next to Lu Xinqing waved his hand, “Brothers, grab your weapons! The boss’s magic power has reached a peak a few days ago, so it’s a good opportunity to test the quality of that thing!”

"it is good!"

"Grab the motherfucker!"

The pirates tied oil-painted masks on their faces and rushed out of the small village.

They untied the sheepskin raft, grabbed the ropes hanging from the trees, and waited in the bay.

Little did they know that Awei in the dense forest could see everything and passed on the words word for word through the spiritual connection.

In the heavy rain, the barge emerged.

The pirates were concentrating their attention and were overjoyed when they saw the red figure in the barge.

"It's a horse, it's a horse!"

"Boss, what a horse! What a great horse!"

"I saw!"

Lu Xinqing was also stunned when he saw the red shadow. The horse's aura was really different from other horses. No wonder Zhang Shun and Guan Xian said it was worth two hundred taels.

Two ignorant idiots.

Less, at least three hundred taels!

Lu Xinqing's heart was burning with excitement.

When the boat got closer, a figure suddenly appeared at the bow, his indigo-colored robe particularly conspicuous.

Some people questioned: "Why... it looks like an official uniform?"

Zhang Shun, who was the first to report the news, was unable to find fault with the words. He stuttered, "Official...official, official uniform? That's an official uniform?"

Lu Xinqing was the strongest and had the best eyesight: "The style is wrong, black, um, navy blue? There seems to be a white stripe on the chest? Have you seen this kind of official uniform?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yeah, what kind of official uniform is this?

The pirate who said it looked like an official uniform fell into deep thought and doubted himself: "Did I remember it wrong?"

Zhang Shun cursed: "Damn it, you scared me, this is just a fancy brocade dress!"

Guan Xian added fuel to the fire: "The county magistrate, a seventh-rank official, has a large ship when traveling. He is really a minor official. He can kill two Guans at most. With the boss here, why should we be afraid of him?"

"Yes, look at him, on a barge, a stranger!"

The pirates all agreed with this.

The Heishui River is turbulent, and the black-sailed boats and sampans used in other counties are easy to capsize. The locals mostly use sheepskin rafts, which are fast and stable.

The other party doesn't use a sheepskin raft, he is a foreigner! He has no foothold!
Everyone was talking to each other, trying to persuade each other.

"Guan Xian is right, don't be afraid!"

Lu Xinqing shouted in a low voice and pressed his palm against the rock wall.

“Nail is the residue of tendons, teeth is the residue of bones, hair is the residue of blood, tongue is the residue of flesh; these are the four extremities of the human body!
The Four-tip Body Refining Skill I learned is the unique method of Panshan Martial Arts School in Huazhu County! Now the tendons and tips have been perfected! The nails are as sharp as swords, and can easily pierce the chest and dig out the heart. It is difficult to have an opponent below the fourth level!"

After saying that, Lu Xinqing pinched the stone with his fingers, and squeezed it in front of everyone, crushing it into pieces. The light yellow lime that had just floated out was wrapped by the humid water vapor and disappeared without a trace.

The morale of the pirates was greatly boosted when they saw this!

Little horse dealer, the boss is easily captured!

When the barge was thirty meters deep, several sheepskin rafts rushed out from the bay like dumplings and surged upstream.

However, before it reached the barge, the bowstring exploded, and an arrow pierced the rain curtain, exploded through the water mist, and hit the sheepskin raft.

boom!
The arrows flashed with lightning, and dozens of sheepskins under the raft exploded.

The three pirates screamed and fell into the water, being swept away by the flood and disappeared.

The remaining twelve pirates stood there in a daze.

At a loss.
