Chapter 160 Aquaman
The next day, after Lin Wen confirmed that the two ferries carrying the bandits had departed, he flew over directly using the [Ride the Clouds] technique and cast two spells.
【Fish and Water Harmony】
A white Jindan stage spell that consumes 25% of the spirit, achieves the effect of fish and water blending together, masters the nature of water, controls the water flow, allows underwater vision and breathing, and lasts for 8 hours in this world's time.
【The strength of nine oxen and two tigers】
Consumes 15% of the soul.
The state of Tao following nature: Taoism.
At the highest level, all spell costs are reduced by 50%.
The three spells consume a total of 60% of the spiritual energy, but only half of it, 30%, is actually used.
Remaining soul: 65%.
The green light of the spell penetrated his body, and Lin Wen jumped down into the surging river.
In an instant, the violent and turbid water submerged him, but Lin Wen felt as if he had returned to his most familiar home. The air was filled with abundant spiritual energy. He flew freely in this dreamlike world. The violent torrent had no effect on him. The chaotic world was in full view before his eyes.
He moved instinctively and his body shot away. Even if he was going upstream, he did not feel any resistance.
The water flowed past him gently, like the hands of a lover. Every movement he made in the water would be pushed and assisted by these delicate hands.
Lin Wen swam freely in this raging river, and a feeling of freedom and joy surged in his heart, making him feel happy.
After swimming for a while, Lin Wen turned and swam towards his target.
His figure was like a phantom in the river, stunning the fish.
His perfect control of the water and his tremendous strength brought him unparalleled speed. In just a few minutes, he swam to the bottom of two ships sailing on the Tianjiang River 3 kilometers away.
These were two medium-sized cruise ships, carrying a total of 1,600 people, all of whom were fully armed bandits.
They have some military skills due to years of fighting. If the garrison soldiers of Changshan County are mobilized to suppress them, there will definitely be considerable casualties.
And this is also an impossible choice.
Now, the transformation of Fangdashan has just begun to show results.
Afterwards, Lin Wen passed on his strongest tactics to Fang Dashan.
Fang Dashan treasured these crystallizations of wisdom condensed from countless battles. As soon as he finished his work every day, he would take the soldiers for training.
Lin Wen couldn't let these growing babies sacrifice themselves in battle at this time.
If there is a need to expand in the future, they will be the backbone of the team.
Therefore, he had to do it himself.
It would be difficult for Lin Wen to defeat the army of 1,600 people head-on, but if they wanted to attack Changshan County by water, that would be courting death.
snort!
I have been driven out of my homeland and imprisoned in this soulless world for a million seconds. Now, you dare to trespass into my territory.
You are courting death!
The cruise ship carrying the bandits was not moving very fast, only 13 knots. Lin Wen easily kept parallel to the cruise ship, activated [Observing Qi and People], looked up, and saw the ship full of black clouds.
Maybe one part isn't completely black, but that's okay.
Lin Wen's body sank down, directly touching the bottom of the river, and he bent his knees and gathered his strength.
With a muffled bang, a large amount of mud and sand at the bottom of the river burst out.
Lin Wen rushed to the bottom of the ship at an incredible speed, and punched the moment he got close. The unparalleled force penetrated the bottom of the cruise ship from bottom to top.
On the river, the cruise ship that was sailing normally suddenly shook, and a loud noise came from the bottom of the ship.
The people on the ship first felt the hull shake and jump, followed by weightlessness and shaking. Even the most experienced sailors could not stand, and everyone on the deck fell to the ground.
The first mate yelled frantically, "We've hit a reef! The bottom of the boat has hit a reef! Go to the bottom hold and take a look!"
The second mate looked incredulous: "How is that possible! We're in the middle of the river, how could we possibly hit a reef? I've been sailing this route for over a decade and have never seen a reef before."
The captain grabbed his collar and pulled him close, his ferocious face right in front of him: "Then tell me the hell, what happened just now?"
The first mate put his gun to the back of his head and said, "Tell me! Did you do this on purpose, you bastard?"
The second mate was terrified, tears streaming down his face, and he shouted, "Master, this is unfair! I've been begging in Tianjiang for over a decade, how could I destroy my own job! I'm tired of living!"
The captain threw him away and immediately realized something was wrong: "The ship is sinking! Why is it sinking so fast?"
At this moment, several sailors came running up like crazy, shouting, "Captain! Oh no! There's a big hole in the bottom of the boat!"
"It's a very big hole, the bottom of the boat has been penetrated!"
"The water is coming up like crazy. The bottom floor is full and there's no way to stop it!"
"The ship is about to sink, let's run! Let's move to..."
Halfway through his words, there was a loud bang.
They turned around and saw that the hull of the other cruise ship jumped like a drum skin, and the people on the ship flew up and fell, and some fell into the river. The flood swept away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, they immediately knew that they must have been attacked by a water ghost.
The water ghosts dived underwater and blew through their boat with explosives.
This kind of thing is common, but it is not common in the raging Tianjiang River.
In this kind of water flow, no matter how good a person is at swimming, it is impossible for him to carry more than ten kilograms of explosives and stick close to a moving ship.
But now is not the time to delve into the reasons why. The captain shouted, "Quick, send a distress signal! Get on the lifeboat!"
The water flow in Tianjiang River is fast and complex, and the lifeboat is also in danger, but there is no time to worry about that. The ship is sinking much faster than expected. If it is too late, the vortex of the sunken ship will form a more complex water flow, which will be even more dangerous for the lifeboat with weak power.
There were far too few lifeboats for everyone on board to escape, so the captain, first mate and other officers took the lead in grabbing one and leaving, while the others had no choice but to jump into the river.
But before they had gone far, the lifeboat suddenly became unresponsive, as if it was being grabbed by something. The first mate looked out and saw a dark shadow firmly grabbing the tail of the lifeboat in the murky river water.
A terrifying chill crept up the back of the first mate's neck. He kept telling himself that it was just some debris like seaweed. Overcoming his fear, he was about to use a hook to pry it away when suddenly a black shadow surfaced and a human face emerged from underwater, grinning at him.
The terrified first mate fainted.
The captain rushed over and shouted, "What's going on?"
With a crash, Lin Wen jumped onto the lifeboat and punched the captain, whose face was covered with flesh and whose brow was covered with dark clouds, in the head.
With his arms outstretched, Lin Zhongshan, with his invincible iron fist, swept away everyone on the lifeboat.
This lifeboat looks quite high-end, and Lin Wen wants to drive it back to replenish the shortage of surface ships in Changshan County Navy.
But Lin Wen didn't know how to drive a boat, so he could only go into the water and manually drag the lifeboat to the shore, then jump back into the river.
At this time, there was no trace of the cruise ship on the river. There were only four lifeboats floating in the rushing river. One of them had capsized, and one of them was on fire, probably because it was blown up by machine gun fire.
There were still two boats struggling, so Lin Wen went up and cleared out all the bugs, then towed them back to the shore along with the overturned lifeboat.
In this way, Lin Wen had four lifeboats, but how to tow them back became a problem.
This place should be in the territory of Xiyanzhou, which is far away from Changshan County. It is not realistic for Qin Luoshuang to send someone to pick us up.
Lin Wen suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea. He tied the four lifeboats together with iron chains and pushed them back into the river. Then he jumped into the river to accelerate the lifeboats and manually adjust the direction of the lifeboats at any time.
This move is the manual version of Cao Aman's Iron Chain Boat.
This method was much more useful than he had imagined. Lin Wen's ability to accelerate in the water even exceeded his own imagination. His perfect water skills combined with his incredible strength allowed the lifeboat to reach a speed of 80 knots at one point.
The tied-together lifeboats raced like lightning, braving the wind and waves on the rushing river, like Ferraris on water.
After reaching the maximum speed, Lin Wen climbed onto the ship connected by iron chains and stood on the bow. The river wind and waves rushed towards him. He opened his arms to welcome the strong wind and waves.
The cargo ships, steamers and passenger ships encountered along the way were all stunned by this strange vessel that passed by like the wind.
What does a speed of 80 knots mean?
Generally speaking, a ship traveling at 20 knots is already a very high speed. High-end yachts can reach 30 or 40 knots, which is already an astonishingly high speed.
80 knots is twice as fast as this speed. For a ship that can only sail on Tianjiang at a dozen knots, it is like flying.
They had never seen such an exciting sight in their lives. The image of Lin Wen standing at the bow with his hands raised high to brave the wind and waves was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
Tourists who brought cameras quickly took photos to commemorate the event, while those who didn’t brought cameras sighed and regretted missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime scene.
After being shocked, they all thought that this person was a rich kid who was looking for excitement. The four lifeboats tied together were worth a lot of money. To be able to reach such a high speed, they must have been modified. It would be impossible without strong financial resources.
His action of standing on the bow of the ship is more like a display of an artistic concept. He must be a great performance artist who uses his life to display his ideas.
Some people actually interpreted a lot of meaning from it.
Some people believe that he wanted to convey the idea that there is no fear in life and that persistence can help you overcome any difficulties.
Some people think he is saying that courage is the most basic element of all success.
Others believe that he was demonstrating through his actions that as long as the empire works together, it can overcome all difficulties, get out of hardship, develop rapidly, and embrace a new future.
The last interpretation was caught by the Yaojing Advertising Department, which pays close attention to all hot topics. They immediately bought one of the best photos at a high price and began to write a story around the photo.
They extended all their interpretations of art to Yaojing, claiming that all the actions of this trendsetter were a tribute to Yaojing.
This also proves that Yaojing is just downstream of Tianjiang River. He went down from upstream and his destination was Yaojing.
Soon, a new round of Yaojing advertisements will flood the entire empire.
Lin Wen didn't know all this. In fact, he spent most of his time pushing the boat and adjusting the direction in the water. He would only stand on it when the speed reached a very high level.
About 2 hours later, Lin Wen returned to Changshan County.
He began to slow down, found a place near Huaizhen to run the boat aground, and called Qin Luoshuang to come and receive his spoils.
