"Splash, splash...!"
With a wave of his hand, Long Rui flung a few peanuts out...
"Glug, glug!"
Soon there was a reaction in the water, bubbles kept rising on the surface, and red liquid continuously erged, dyeing a large area of the river red.
Gradually, several bodies began to float to the surface one after another.
At this mont, chaos ensued in the cabin; Zi Xia and Long Yi, along with the sailors, were holding water scoops, continuously scooping water from the cabin and throwing it out.
Long Yi shouted loudly at the boatman, "Think of a way and quickly plug up those gaps, scooping like this is not helping."
Water was pouring in endlessly, and continuing like this would exhaust them to death.
The boatman was both shocked and terrified, clearly scooping water but covered in sweat from the fright of the pirates; these scoundrels were actually boring holes in the bottom of the ship, attempting to capsize it.
"Little brother, this... this... the ship has been pierced by pirates, I have no way, a cloth strip won’t plug it, what are we going to do?"
The boatman was spinning around in anxiety, with responsibilities above and below; he certainly didn’t want to die!
Long Yi: "How do you know if you don’t try, quickly get sothing to plug it and give it a shot."
The boatman nodded frantically: "Alright, alright!"
anwhile, another sailor shouted: "It’s bad! It’s bad! Water is leaking here again!"
In the cabin, several places began to spout small water jets.
Everyone was anxiously spinning around, plugging here and unable to plug there.
The number of pirates beneath the water boring holes was unknown.
As the water in the cabin increased, subrging the calves, many places continued to spout water jets; evidently, quite a few pirates were busy under the sea.
Long Yi gave up, stopping his scooping action, saying: "Forget it, this ship seems useless."
Zi Xia was anxious: "How can we do that! If this ship capsizes, what will we do?"
The pirates had drilled dozens of holes in the bottom of the cabin, causing small water jets all over; the ship was utterly destroyed, and plugging further was aningless.
Long Yi threw aside the water scoop in his hand and said to Zi Xia, "Let’s go, we need to ask the Master."
Zi Xia hesitated a little; if she did not hurry to scoop water, soon it would be too much and impossible to manage.
"Stop scooping, it’s pointless."
Long Yi snatched the water scoop from Zi Xia’s hand, tossing it aside, pulling Zi Xia to leave; rather than struggle here, it was better to go out and discuss counterasures with the Prince.
Dragged along by Long Yi, Zi Xia was a bit angry; the cabin was flooding and urgently needed saving, given that this ship concerned everyone’s life, so she impatiently asked: "What are you doing?"
Long Yi, dragging Zi Xia, was swift: "To discuss strategy with the Prince."
Zi Xia stumbled a bit, looking sowhat awkward: "What’s there to discuss; there are no boats around us. If our ship capsizes, we’re all dood. Oh, let go of , I need to go back to the cabin to scoop water."
It was true, the ship was in an area surrounded by high cliffs and mountains, no sight of habitation, and the river was wide; they were in the middle and returning to shore would be difficult.
While speaking, they had reached the top of the ship, seeing the Prince and madam standing by the edge, throwing sothing into the water.
As they got closer, they were shocked to find that the river was filled with floating bodies at so point.
The water near the edge of the ship was blood-red, strikingly unsettling to see.
