Chapter 60: Iron Head Dragon King, One Man Holding The Pass
Wang Pang Zi and Hu Ba Yi saw the ferry approaching and quickly waved their arms to signal the boatman to stop.
But the boatman at the bow, seeing them, shook his head and gestured, as if to say this was not a ferry and could not carry people.
At this moment, Da Jin Ya directly took out two Hundred Yuan Banknotes and waved them at the boatman.
The boatman saw this and indeed turned the boat around and headed towards the ferry crossing.
Wang Pang Zi couldn’t help but curse angrily:
“Damn it, what class sentiment and helping others, it’s not as practical as a head!”
Da Jin Ya grinned:
“Brother Pang, nowadays it’s not about sentiment, it’s about connections, the connection of Hundred Yuan Banknotes!”
After the boat stopped at the ferry crossing, Fatty immediately went to haggle. It turned out that this boat was a cargo boat transporting parts downstream. Only the boatman and his son, who was in his teens, were on board. Fatty quickly negotiated with him to be taken to the vicinity of Gu Tian for two hundred yuan.
The boat cabin was indeed filled with machine parts, leaving no room to step. Su Mo and the others had to sit on the deck in the light rain. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and Su Mo, Hu Ba Yi, and Wang Pang Zi all had Internal Energy protecting them, so it was nothing. Only Da Jin Ya’s face was a little pale in the light rain.
“Master Jin, you say you have a comfortable life in the Capital City, why did you come all the way here to suffer this hardship with us, what’s the point!”
Fatty started to tease Da Jin Ya again when he had free time.
Da Jin Ya grinned:
“After all, my ancestors were Tomb Raiding families, and although we didn’t achieve great fame, we accumulated some wealth and reputation in the Capital City!”
“Although I, Master Jin, have seen many Grave Goods, I have never been into a real tomb in my life. If I don’t get to experience it with you, I fear I won’t be able to close my eyes when I die, which would be an insult to my ancestors!”
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey…”
When Fatty heard him mention death, he immediately spat at him a few times:
“Good luck, good fortune! You can’t talk nonsense on the Yellow River. Don’t you see how fishermen don’t flip their fish when they eat!”
As he was speaking, the boat suddenly jolted violently, as if it had hit something in the river.
The boatman quickly went to check the bow to see what it had hit.
At this point, the ferry was already in the middle of the river. There should have been no reefs here, but the shock just now seemed to have hit something quite large.
As the boatman was looking out from the bow, the boat suddenly jolted again. This time, the vibration was greater than before, causing the boatman’s feet to slip, and he suddenly lost his balance and plunged into the river.
Just then, something suddenly tightened behind him. It was someone grabbing his Back Vest from behind and then pulling him back with great force.
The boatman looked back and saw that it was Su Mo who had jumped behind him and pulled him back.
“Thank you…”
The boatman, still shaken, quickly thanked Su Mo.
Su Mo, however, had a stern expression, his eyes fixed on the water, and said in a deep voice:
“Go back and steer the boat carefully!”
The boatman agreed and quickly ran back to the cabin.
Meanwhile, Su Mo’s eyes were fixed on the water, and he had already drawn the Frost Moon Sword from his back.
Wang Pang Zi, Hu Ba Yi, and Da Jin Ya hurried over:
“Master, did you discover something?”
“What did those two jolts just now hit?”
Su Mo gave a cold smile:
“It’s just an Iron Head Dragon King, daring to cause trouble here!”
“Iron Head Dragon King?”
Hu Ba Yi and the other two were surprised.
As they were speaking, a strange, giant figure suddenly appeared on the river surface in the distance.
This thing was about the size of a truck’s front end, and its whole body was a dull, iron-blue color. In the river, if you didn’t look closely, you would mistake it for a huge reef.
After appearing in the river, it cast a glance at the ferry with its pair of glowing red eyes, then dove into the water, instantly creating a huge vortex. Judging by its diving direction, it was heading straight for the ferry.
“Careful!”
Su Mo warned Hu Ba Yi and the other two, then turned and rushed into the boat cabin.
Inside the cabin, there were many bundles of Thin Steel Pipes, each about four to five centimeters thick and two to three meters long.
Su Mo pulled out two from the Thin Steel Pipes, sharpened their ends with the Frost Moon Sword, and quickly returned to the bow.
He moved very quickly. He took the steel pipes, sharpened their ends, and returned to the bow. The entire process took only a dozen seconds, so fast that it was dazzling.
At this time, the strange figure seemed to have reached the front of the bow, creating ripples on the water’s surface. Although it was charging against the current, its speed was surprisingly fast.
Su Mo raised a steel pipe, aimed at the position of the ripples, and threw it with all his might into the water.
The steel pipe, like a javelin, shot into the water with Su Mo’s thousand-jin force and instantly disappeared. Immediately after, a huge Water Splash erupted on the surface, and blood appeared in the splash, which then quickly disappeared.
Clearly, Su Mo’s steel pipe had hit the creature!
Su Mo’s eyes remained fixed on the water. Although the river water was murky and he couldn’t see the monster’s shadow, he possessed the Great Yin Meditation Technique, so he could naturally see the monster’s location through the Water Splash.
He aimed at the monster’s position and fiercely threw the sharpened steel pipe again.
This time, the force he applied was more than a thousand jin. The steel pipe shot into the water like an arrow.
Boom!
The water surface suddenly exploded with a giant wave, rising several meters high, and in an instant, it hit the bow of the boat.
Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, and Da Jin Ya held tightly to the ship’s railing, but they were still shaken by the spray, almost losing their balance. Especially Da Jin Ya, who was almost swept into the water by the spray, but luckily Wang Pang Zi grabbed him just in time.
Su Mo, however, held the Frost Moon Sword in one hand, his eyes fixed on the water. With his left hand, he didn’t even grab the railing, standing proudly at the bow. He was like an ancient general guarding a fortress, and his imposing aura made Da Jin Ya and the others marvel.
As the giant wave broke, a strange figure suddenly appeared on the water’s surface ahead.
It was the strange fish that had emerged from the water earlier!
This creature suddenly appeared at the bow, and it seemed even larger than before. Its Skull alone was about ten feet high, and it was dark and looked like cast iron. It had seven layers of green Scales, each the size of a washbasin.
It was the Iron Head Dragon King of the Yellow River!
When the boatman saw the Iron Head Dragon King appear, he immediately trembled all over and knelt before it:
“Dragon King Lord, I have offended you. Please spare our lives. I will surely… when we reach the shore.”
Su Mo heard the boatman’s prayer and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh:
“What are you afraid of, this thing isn’t unkillable!”
Hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone looked again and saw that two steel pipes were stuck in the Iron Head Dragon King’s head. One of the steel pipes was precisely in its left eyeball, and it had already penetrated one-third of the way!
It turned out that the two sharpened steel pipes Su Mo threw had one piercing its head and the other one piercing through its eyeball and into its brain, severely wounding the Iron Head Dragon King and forcing it to surface!
