Chapter 117 is very unsafe.
"What's wrong?" Seeing He Ci urgently stop the speedboat, Shousui stood up from his seat and asked.
"The thruster seems to be stuck." He Ci stood up and walked to the stern outside the control room.
"Why did it stop? What happened?" The three people on the rear deck also heard the crash. Chi Yu put down the playing cards in his hand, stood up and asked He Ci who was coming out to the stern, "Could it be that it hit a dark rock? Why does it sound like that?"
"It shouldn't be. Maybe the thruster is stuck. I'll go into the water to take a look." He Ci said as he took out a ladder and placed it on the bulwark.
"Do you know how to swim? Why don't I go?" Mo Yuankai asked from the side.
"I can swim, don't worry. I'll call you if I can't handle it." He Ci responded to Mo Yuankai's question while taking off his shoes, outer coat and trousers, leaving only a pair of boxer shorts.
Seeing that He Ci had no diving suit, oxygen mask or any other protection, Shousui couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Be careful and pay attention to safety." Shousui also followed out of the cab and came to the stern, and reminded He Ci who was about to enter the water.
"Yeah." He Ci looked up and glanced at him, then dived into the water.
The few people who remained on the deck gathered around the bulwark and stared at the water surface at the stern below for a while.
Shousui looked at the watch on his wrist that Heci had given him. Five minutes had already passed, and there was almost no movement on the water except for the ripples caused by the breeze.
"It's been so long, why hasn't he come up yet?" Shousui stared at the water below, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Why don't I go down and take a look." Mo Yuankai frowned slightly, and as he spoke, the man had already taken off his shirt.
But at this moment, the raccoon on the ceiling of the cockpit suddenly let out a hoarse, whining sound from its throat.
Xiao Hei has followed him for so long that Shousui can basically understand the message behind each of the civet cat's different calls.
Such hoarse whining sounds indicate that something dangerous is approaching them. When a raccoon senses an enemy approaching, it will make such whining sounds to alert its companions to be alert and prepare to defend against the enemy.
Sure enough, Xiao Hei was lying on the ceiling, his huge blood-red eyes fixed on the shimmering water not far below, as if there was something dangerous in the water that could make him angry.
After anxiously patrolling the edge of the roof, Xiao Hei jumped off the deck and ran towards Shou Sui. He climbed up the bulwark in front of Shou Sui, clasping the railing tightly with his slender claws to stabilize himself, and stared at the water with a vigilant attitude as if protecting his master.
"Wait a minute," Shousui saw this and immediately stopped Mo Yuankai who had just taken off his coat and was about to go into the water to investigate the situation, "It seems that there is something in the water approaching our hull."
"Then we should ask He Ci to come up quickly."
Just as they were worried about He Ci, a familiar figure suddenly jumped out of the bubbling water. He Ci quickly swam towards the hull, and Mo Yuankai saw this and quickly gave way to the ladder and returned to the deck.
"Are you okay?" Shousui asked Heci anxiously, and when Heci climbed up the gangway, he still helped him up out of concern.
"I'm fine." He Ci returned to the stern and threw a slightly hideous dead fish in his hand onto the deck beside him. "This thing is what stuck the propeller, but it's really strange that there is such a thing in this river." He Ci looked solemn.
"What kind of fish is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Shousui looked at the dead fish weighing more than 20 kilograms thrown onto the deck. The appearance of the dead fish was extremely horrible. There were several scratches on the tail of the fish, which should have been caused by the propeller.
This fish has a short neck and an oval, thin body. Its body is gray-green, its back is dark green, and its belly is bright red. The scary thing is that it has very sharp teeth and large fins. Its entire appearance is very strange and scary.
"This is a piranha." He Ci frowned and responded to Shou Sui's words. He said to the people in front of him with a heavy face, "The appearance of this fish means that this area of water has been invaded by piranhas. It is very unsafe. We should hurry up and try to reach the shore of our destination as soon as possible."
"Oh my God, this kind of fish can eat people?" Chi Yu's face showed surprise. He had never seen this kind of fish before and was greatly shocked.
He Ci picked up the clothes on the deck and put them on. When he was walking towards the cockpit, there was another bang from the bottom of the boat. This time, the speedboat was obviously hit hard by something unknown, because the whole hull shook violently from side to side due to the impact.
"What's going on?" Shousui exclaimed subconsciously. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the railing in time to stabilize his body after the collision with the hull, so he did not get shaken out of the bulwark railing and fall into the water.
