I'm really just a juggler.

Chapter 238 Underwater Shadow

Late at night, the bright full moon hangs high in the sky, reflected on the surface of the river.

Unlike the lively scene on the ship during the day, the deck was completely quiet at this moment.

The porters who traveled around the world were short of money and could only find a place on the deck to make ends meet.

The wealthy businessmen and the talented scholars have all returned to their rooms.

Of course, it is also possible to continue daytime activities in a room.

After all, this ship is just a boat for traveling, not a flower boat for having fun on the water.

Who would be sick of drinking and writing poetry on the turbulent river in the middle of the night?

It’s enough to show your face from time to time during the day and make yourself familiar to the rich businessmen.

Except for the occasional waves hitting the boat,

If nothing unexpected happens, this night will be quite quiet.

boom!

At this moment, a deafening noise suddenly occurred.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ship shook violently and tilted to one side.

The porters on the deck were awakened immediately.

"What happened? Did the earth dragon turn over?"

"What nonsense! This is on the river. What kind of earth dragon can cause such a big commotion?"

"Then what do you think happened?"

The porters' faces were horrified, and their eyes revealed panic.

After traveling all over the country for so many years, we have seen all kinds of things, some older porters shouted immediately.

"Hold steady, don't panic, first see what's going on."

Gradually, the situation stabilized.

At this time, the boatmen and wealthy businessmen were also driven out.

All those talented people stayed away, fearing that they would accidentally provoke something unclean.

Except for a few wealthy businessmen, all the others had red faces, obviously because they drank too much tonight.

The boatman looked anxious and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Did you see it clearly?"

Upon hearing this, the porters looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

This made the boatman so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

This ship is his entire fortune. If anything goes wrong, how will he survive?

Bu Chen and Bu Feiyun stood outside the crowd and watched this scene unfold.

Bu Chen was already lost in thought at this point. There were only two possible scenarios when encountering something like this on the water.

One possibility is that the ship encountered a reef and was violently impacted, causing the ship to tilt like this.

But in this case, the ship has reached the point of being scrapped.

Moreover, this would be impossible if the boatman did not have a safe route on such a turbulent river.

Moreover, from the time of the impact until now, Bu Chen did not feel any decline at all.

If this is not the case, then it indicates another situation.

That means there is something under the ship, attacking the hull.

After taking a look at the entire ship, Bu Chen roughly measured it.

Although the boat is not too big, it is definitely not small.

It is fifty meters long and thirty meters wide, almost as big as a football field.

But even such a large ship was tilted by the opponent.

It seems that there is definitely something extraordinary under the water.

After figuring it out, Bu Chen slowly walked to the edge of the deck and looked at the rushing river below.

Suddenly, Bu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he even thought he had seen it wrong.

He took off his glasses, rubbed them hard, and used all his eyesight.

With the help of wind and thunder, he was able to see clearly what was happening under the river.

But it was precisely because of this that he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Bu Chen's actions immediately attracted some people's attention.

The boatman took the lead and came to Bu Chen, bowing and asking, "Sir, do you know anything?"

After all, Bu Chen's facial expressions changed so much.

Some people were also very curious and looked towards the river to see what was there.

But what made them vomit blood was that there was nothing on the surface of the river.

So everyone looked at Bu Chen, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Bu Chen closed his eyes, exhaled, and put on his glasses calmly.

He glanced at everyone before slowly saying, "Want to know? Look for yourself. Eyes are for breathing out."

After saying that, he walked into the cabin without looking back.

Everyone had already made preparations, and no matter what happened, they could accept it in their hearts.

But who could have thought that this person would be so rude.

"Humph! Just pretending. There's nothing underneath. This person is just trying to attract attention."

Just as Bu Chen was about to enter the cabin, a voice sounded among the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Bu Chen paused.

Bu Feiyun, who was following behind Bu Chen, felt his heart suddenly rise to his throat.

Others may not know who is in front of them, but they know.

Bu Chen turned around slowly, looking in one direction without any emotion in his eyes.

The voice just now was too confusing.

It was hard to tell who said that, and now everyone followed Bu Chen's gaze.

All I saw was a short man with a pointed face and monkey-like appearance, dressed as a porter.

There was a sinister glint in his eyes.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, there was a hint of barely perceptible panic in his eyes.

But it was only a moment, and was soon replaced by determination.

"You...why are you all staring at me? Am I wrong? This person is so cruel, and he won't share anything with anyone. He's just trying to attract attention. There's nothing going on here. He's just spreading rumors."

The boatman's face also looked a little ugly. He looked at Bu Chen with a bad expression and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, is this really the case?"

There was a hint of interrogation in the boatman's tone.

Seeing this, Bu Feiyun couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands, unable to bear to look directly.

Bu Chen did not answer, but walked up to the porter and picked him up before he could speak.

When he reached the edge of the deck, the porter was hanging in the air above the river.

The porter looked at the surging river below him, and he couldn't breathe fresh air through his mouth and nose.

His entire face was red and distorted, and his hands and feet kept slapping Bu Chen's arms.

When others saw this scene, they shouted angrily.

"You thief, I just said a few words, why did you kill me to silence me?"

One of the older porters looked at Bu Chen and said.

"Sir, we are all members of the Shanshui League. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

The threat is evident in the words.

After hearing this, Bu Feiyun didn't want to talk anymore.

Even now, he is still threatening the person in front of him.

He is so stubborn and stubborn, he is really like an old man hanging himself - he is tired of living.

Bu Chen smiled calmly: "Doesn't he believe what you said? Doesn't he think I'm just trying to attract attention? I'm helping him now. Let him go down and see for himself. What's wrong with that?"

The tone was neither hurried nor slow, and the voice was neither sad nor happy.
