Chapter 138 Pushing the Wall

When Qing Chen said this in the morning, he looked a little excited.

This kind of excitement made Jing Yan seriously suspect that Qing Chen had deliberately left this part of his characteristics behind.

Underwater breathing ability?

What's the use of that!

Did he expect me to go into the water?

Thinking of the rolling, frigid river, even Night bro couldn't handle it, even the black-robed man who was a rain-level expert knelt down. How thick would his, a mere Houtian realm nobody, have to be to dare go into the river alone to test the bottom line?

"Jing Yan, what are you nervous about? I just like to study strange things related to the bizarre. I want to become a great scientist... well, a bizarreologist!

"But this is just a goal. For this goal, I haven't been so crazy as to deliberately harm my brothers, and I can't do such a thing. I really haven't figured out how to deal with your gills. To put it simply, this thing is almost self-contained, and even the nerves have established a connection with the entire brain. It's too difficult to use a knife, so I can only find another way."

Qing Chen's explanation made Jing Yan calmer.

"You mean you can help me solve this problem in the future?"

"Well, if I can find a suitable solution in the future."

Sounds unreliable...

Jing Yan sighed. After being tossed around all night, he was also a little physically and mentally exhausted.

But as long as he's still alive, it's okay to be tired. As for now, he's going to rest.

Qing Chen hesitated, as if he wanted to continue studying Jing Yan's body, but he still had a bit of humanity, so he didn't say anything.

"Night bro!"

When Jing Yan walked to the aisle, he saw Fang Yue, and was stunned for a moment, then happily greeted him, not forgetting to tell Fang Yue about his ordeal.

"I'm looking for Qing Chen."

Jing Yan, who was just talking eloquently, stopped abruptly, interrupting his speech.

"Qing Chen, Qing Chen, yesterday you were calling me Little Jing Yan, and today you're only looking for Qing Chen. Night bro, you don't care how difficult it was for me to get through last night!"

"...Didn't you spend most of the time unconscious?"

Jing Yan's expression stiffened.

"Uh, how did you know, Night bro?"

"I came to see you a few times intermittently."

Fang Yue rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, go rest if you want to rest. We have big things to do when you wake up."

"What big things?"

"Hijack a ship!"

Hijack a ship?!

Jing Yan was stunned at first, then he understood what Fang Yue meant, and made a fierce gesture of touching his neck.

"With Night bro taking the lead, I, Jing Yan, will follow and charge into the battle! Night bro, just go for it!"

He hasn't even thought about how to do it yet, so go for what?

After sending Jing Yan away, Fang Yue came to Qing Chen.

"Rudder Master refuses to correct the course, do you have any way to make him listen?"

"Night bro, I was just about to talk to you about this."

Qing Chen seemed to be prepared. Although he had been busy all night and was physically and mentally exhausted, his eyes lit up when he mentioned this matter.

"Night bro, have you ever heard a story that when someone wants to open a window, they often can't get the result, but when they choose to smash the wall, opening a window is just a small matter?"

Fang Yue had heard the complete version of the story Qing Chen told, so he immediately understood what he meant.

But... how should this wall be pushed down?

"This frigid river is so dangerous. I had people pay attention to the Rudder Master's navigation records before, and didn't let go of any details. Then I discovered something. Night bro, please look here."

As he spoke, Qing Chen handed over a few pieces of paper.

The content written on the paper was a report that the frigid river giant ship would intermittently make turns, tilt towards the riverbank, and even occasionally stop suddenly in place.

Most of these operations didn't last long, so Fang Yue, who was concentrating on his own affairs, didn't notice any changes in the ship at all. Or rather, sitting in the cabin, it was impossible to know what small movements the frigid river giant ship had made.

"What do these things mean?"

Fang Yue asked with a slight frown.

"It's very simple, it means that the danger of the frigid river is something that even the Rudder Master can't resist. What he can do is actually similar to what we've been doing - avoiding danger!"

"Avoiding danger?" Fang Yue chewed on these four words with some confusion.

"That's right, it's avoiding danger. According to my speculation, although the frigid river giant ship is special, it's only so so, not to that extent. What really allows the frigid river giant ship to safely navigate between the two wharves on the frigid river for many years is relying on avoiding danger.

"And this, I'm afraid, is the main role of the Rudder Master's many years of experience. He knows where it's dangerous, where to avoid, and where to safely accelerate through. His understanding of the frigid river is probably deeper than his own ship, so he can always turn danger into safety.

"And if we let the danger come proactively, so that the Rudder Master lets go and corrects the course, all problems will naturally be solved."

"Is it necessary to be so complicated... What's the difference between this and putting a knife to the Rudder Master's neck?"

"The difference is very simple. One is that the Rudder Master will immediately freak out and control the ship to drop us all into the frigid river to die. The other is that the Rudder Master himself sincerely wants to change the course and follow his inner thoughts."

"If our little tricks are discovered..."

"There is no if, we must succeed once, and the means must be secret."

"Do you have an idea?"

"I'm still thinking. Before that, you can also try other methods, just don't let the Rudder Master notice my plan."

Fang Yue sighed. Qing Chen's method had feasibility, but the risk was too great, and there were no clues yet.

In this regard, even if Fang Yue and others wanted to help, there was no way. Only Qing Chen himself could lead this matter. Jing Yan could help with odd jobs, but it was also of limited use.

What... what's a better way?

[Yeah, what's a better way?]

[Why not ask the Magic Conch?]

Fang Yue: ...

"Don't jump out suddenly, tell me, how is your ability recovering? I want to use precognition to test something."

[What are you thinking, how could I not know?]

[The great and noble Parchment Lord, knows everything!]

Yes, yes, yes... You're right... There's nothing you don't know...

Fang Yue turned on the perfunctory three-combo.

But the Parchment clearly knew Fang Yue's inner thoughts, clearly knew that these were just flattering, perfunctory words, but the Parchment was still laughing so hard he couldn't close his mouth, and was extremely happy.

[Mieh ha ha ha ha! Now you know how powerful the Parchment Lord is!]

[Since you sincerely seek the help of this Parchment Lord, then this Lord will be merciful and reluctantly help you out!]

How pitiful! The Parchment forcing a smile is so pitiful!

[You're the pitiful one! This Lord has the right to withdraw the helping opportunity!]

Parchment is the best in the world!!

[Hoo hoo hoo!]

[Not enough! More! Remember to praise the Parchment Lord for being pretty!]

...Tired, let's precognize first and then praise.

[Scumbag!!]

Even so, the Parchment still unfolded precognition.

Looking at the words on the Parchment, and the images entering his mind, Fang Yue's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen a terrifying scene, his whole body stiffened, revealing a face of horror.

"The whole ship... wiped out?!"
