As a piece of white spray appeared on the surface of the sea, the pirates cheered and howled loudly.Even though the North Atlantic warm current passed through this sea area, the sea water was still bitingly cold, and the severe chill penetrated into the body little by little, quickly taking away a lot of body temperature.Chu Chu struggled with his hands, but he was tightly tied behind his back and could not move, so he could only allow his body to sink.There was no oxygen to inhale, and the intense panic caused the blood circulation to speed up. The oxygen in the blood was consumed in a large amount, and the lungs felt as if they had been pierced by thousands of steel needles, causing pains one after another.

It wasn't until this moment that Chu Min realized that he might really be afraid of death.In the previous 20 years of his life, he had conceived of death countless times, thinking that he could look down on life and death like many philosophers, but only now did he realize that if you don’t stand in front of death, you will never feel that kind of fear .

Fear of darkness, fear of nothingness, fear of never seeing all the sunshine and life again.

With eyes closed, the boundless sense of oppression and darkness keeps coming from all directions, and the clear sense of falling of the body makes people feel helpless about being swallowed by the abyss.

Just as the consciousness was gradually blurring, there was a sudden noise above the head, and then there was the sound of falling water beside him.

Chu Chu opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head, and saw Qi Huaiyuan cutting the rope in his hand with a knife.

The pirates on the ship saw a person jump out of nowhere and tried to interrupt their execution ceremony, they immediately yelled and quarreled, and shot into the water one after another.The rain of bullets shot into the water, cutting a long white water trail, sinking into the dark seabed.Several members of the Qi family who had given up their resistance were startled when they saw the Patriarch jump into the water. He used the gun of a pirate, killed a few and hid behind the bunker.

The furious pirates soon discovered that the Chinese who dared to resist did not seem to be ordinary tourists on board, so they turned their attention to these people who were more threatening after snatching guns.

Taking advantage of the scuffle above, Qi Huaiyuan had already untied the rope from Chu Min's body, and Chu Min, who had regained his freedom, immediately pulled him to the surface.

The feeling of breathing fresh air again was so good, Chu Min raised his head and inhaled the air almost greedily, feeling the tension in his lungs quickly relieved, while not forgetting to drag Patriarch Qi, who couldn't swim, out of the shooting range of the pirates.

"For the first time, I feel that seeing you is not a bad thing." Chu Min looked up at the sun, judged his position, and swam forward with all his strength, "Why did you jump down?"

"I don't want to be entangled by ghosts," Qi Huaiyuan spat out a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, "You'd better save Chen Moxian by yourself."

"It's all right now, we all have to feed the fish, and don't save anyone."

"..."

"Are you seasick and stupid?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Qi Huaiyuan replied irritably, "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Chu Min pursed his lips, and suddenly laughed lightly: "Thank you."

The person behind seemed to snort unhappily.

When the pirates hijacked them, more than half of the voyage had already been completed. In fact, this location is not far from the coastline, so it is not impossible to swim there.

When Chu Min was studying, he once participated in the English Channel Crossing Challenge. If he was the only one, swimming to the shore would not be a problem.But now I still carry a landlubber who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, weighs like a pig, can't water at all, and a backpack weighing four to five kilograms...the pressure is a bit heavy.

"Are you cold?" Chu Min noticed that the person beside him was trembling slightly, turned his head to look over, and found Qi Huaiyuan's face was pale, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, while the surrounding sea water was already red, and a bad guess arose in his heart " You got shot?!"

"En." Qi Huaiyuan replied calmly, as if he had been scratched while cutting vegetables.

But in the ocean, the smell of blood is easily detected by the water overlords cruising in the various sea areas.There are a large number of dogfish and spine sharks living in the vast warm and cold water areas. These fierce predators are sensitive to any bloody smell and can gather around their prey from all directions within an hour, just like a group of insatiable vultures. Like a carrion corpse, it was eaten up in an instant.

"It's over, it's over, wait to feed the fish." Chu Min continued to swim forward in despair, as if there was a ghost behind him.

"Let go." Qi Huaiyuan finally sighed, "Meeting you is really a curse."

"Huh? I haven't disliked you as a bastard! The 24 years before I met you have been smooth and safe!" Chu Chu said so, but he didn't really let go of this disaster star and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Then I'm afraid it's really the enemies of the previous life who harmed each other."

"What?" Chu Min couldn't hear the whisper that was drowned in the sound of the waves, and asked again.

"I said, if you don't let go, none of us will survive."

Chu Min taunted when he heard the words: "When you jumped off, we would have lost our lives."

"I must be crazy." Qi Huaiyuan seemed to regret his decision very much at this moment, and his tone was quite upset.

"I think so too, although I always feel that your mind is not normal."

"There is an old saying in China that when a man is about to die, his words are also good," Qi Huaiyuan said coldly, "It's this time, can't you say something nice?"

Chu Min was bored for a while, and then said, "No, I can't satisfy your request. You don't know, when I'm nervous, I get talkative and always want to swear."

"..."

"Patriarch Qi, this is a fateful friendship, can we stop being so honest?"

Qi Huaiyuan really didn't have the extra strength to argue with him at this time, and he said wearily after a while: "Here we are."

There is nothing on the deep blue sea, only a few seabirds hovering alone in the sky, the dark clouds in the sky are very low, and meet the sea level in the distance, dividing the world into blue and gray, which are clearly distinct.Even though the sea was calm, Chu Min still saw the dark shadows cruising not far away.

"These starving ghosts came fast enough." Chu Min stared at the sharks that were about to move. Although the predators attracted by the blood were ferocious, they were also cautious. encirclement.

"How far is it to reach the shore?"

"The tide will be high later. If I can catch the tide, I can swim there in an hour."

Qi Huaiyuan showed some hesitation, and tightly gripped the knife in his hand until his knuckles turned white.In the end, he still pursed his bloodless lips, the brilliance in his eyes gradually subsided, and the originally light-colored eyes fell into a thick black like ink.

Chu Min didn't know what happened, but felt that the people around him seemed to have completely changed, exuding an ancient and desolate sense of bleakness, as if they were haggard inside and out, lifeless.It doesn't look like a living person, but it looks like a giant beast that came from ancient times. It is old, but its majesty remains undiminished, and it still looks down on all directions.

And the next moment, dense golden lines appeared on the skin, and the faint golden light surged like blood flowing all over the body.

Xiezhi, who can see clearly, can't touch straight, gnaw right, the world is bright; Qiongqi, who looks like a tiger, is fierce and fierce; Jumang, who controls Fusang, is endlessly alive, immortal and immortal; gluttony, has a head but no body, gluttonous food Satisfy, regardless of orphans and widows, not poor or needy; scorpions, like tigers and leopards, eat blood relatives raw, very inauspicious; Dijiang, six-legged and four-winged, chaotic and faceless, fleeting for thousands of miles; Houtu, human-faced and snake-tailed, condensing five qi, Add five yellows, destroy mountains and landslides, and take charge of mountains and rivers.

The day when the fierce beasts in ancient Chinese legends reunite, even the sky and the earth will change color.

The Taotie pattern opened its bloody mouth in the palm of its left hand, and the huge suction force forcibly pulled the sharks in the water closer. The back hand grabbed it hard, plunged into the shark's head, and directly strangled one head to pieces.

Qi Huaiyuan's eyes were icy cold, and the fierce aura emanating from the ferocious Qiongqi pattern on his face made other carnivorous sharks dare not go forward, but began to bite the corpses of the same kind.

Chu Chen felt a hand resting on his body, and the fatigue just now was swept away instantly, and the full strength flowed through his whole body.

The Eastern wood god Jumang, the immortal bird, and Taihao belong to the official, symbolizing the cycle of the sun and the moon, and the endless cycle of life.

"Go quickly." The light in Qi Huaiyuan's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said with his head powerlessly on Chu Min's shoulder.

While those sharks were fighting for food, Chu Min dragged Patriarch Qi, whose body temperature was icy cold, to swim to the west, and the ferocious fish were gradually left behind.It was getting late, and the light rain was falling on the sea. Chu Min was swimming forward almost mechanically. The people behind him didn't move, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

An hour later, the coastline finally appeared faintly in the darkness, floating slightly in the distance.The wind and waves were much less near the coast, and there was a tide on the shore, and Chu Mi was photographed ashore by the tide without much effort.

The salty seawater kept hitting his body, but Chu Min didn't move.The sense of relief for the rest of his life made him unable to move, and he put his face on the sand to feel the texture of the earth.

The person beside him was lying on his back on the beach with his eyes closed. The lines on his face had already faded, but there was still a lot of evil spirit left. His brows were furrowed, but his face was very pale.The sea water continued to surge upwards, and the black hair floated up with the waves, and then stuck to the side of the face again as the water receded.

Chu Shen lay on the ground for a long time exhausted, and just looked at it without focus for a long time, finally regained a trace of consciousness, stood up staggeringly and dragged the person to a high place until sparse green vegetation gradually appeared on the beach. Can no longer be submerged by the tide.

"It's still alive... It's okay, it's okay..." Chu Min tried it, and there was still a weak snort, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have the energy to check the gunshot wound again, and fell to the ground exhausted and passed out.
