119 Chimera Shark 1 (2/2)
The water splashes missed the group.
When they turned around to see what had happened, they could see a 10-meter long salmon with chicken wings, flying from the river and dove back into it. That chicken fish was trolling them.
The commotion didn't escape the flying 5th-stage cultivators.
”A CHICKEN FISH HAS APPEARED!!”
”KILL!!”
The two flying soldiers took out their bows. They nocked their spiritual arrows and fired into the water.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Their arrows caused more explosions, which splashed more dangerous water.
Fortunately, Xu Miao and others already hid behind the lines of soldiers. Some of them raised their shields to guard against the water.
”POKGOK!”
”POKPOK!!”
Some of the cursed water got on a few soldiers. They instantly acted like chickens.
Their sacrifice wasn't in vain. The two flying cultivators used their telekinesis and pulled the dead chicken fish from the water. Then, they tossed the fish to the dry land without touching it.
One of them descended to the ground and cupped his fist, ”I'm sorry for the incident. Is everybody alright?”
Xu Miao rubbed his right eyebrow. The twitching was still there, but it wasn't as severe as before, ”We're fine. None of us touch the water.”
”Then, it's all good. I'll go check if the ship captain is ready.”
”Thank you.”
…
Five minutes later, the ship captain and his crews arrived. The crews and the captain wore thick rubber gloves, raincoats, and rubber boots, and rubber suits as if they had prepared to sail in a rain. They also gave Xu Miao's group raincoats to protect themselves against splashing water.
Xu Miao and everyone hurried and accepted the raincoats. They put them on right away.
After putting on the raincoats, Jia Shan, Xu Miao, and others returned to the ship.
The ferry boat departed right away without waiting for others. After all, Xu Miao's group was the only passenger.
When the ship departed for a moment, Xu Miao's eyebrow twitched again. He immediately looked outside the ship, checking how long they were away from the shore.
They had only sailed 100 meters away from the dock, but Xu Miao's eyebrow was sending an alarm again.
As if the right eyebrow was mimicking the Jaws theme, it slowly twitched faster. His heartbeat also got louder inside his chest.

Da - Dump
Xu Miao kept counting time as his bloodshot eyes glared at the destination shoreline, which was over 500 meters away. The ship took a long time turning and accelerating with its unknown arrays or engines that Xu Miao didn't care to check.
8 seconds later
Dadump - - Dadump
The Jaws Theme Song in Xu Miao's mind got louder and clearer.
The ship was picking up speed. 400 Meters remained until everyone reached the destination.
7 seconds later
Dadump - - Dadump - - Dadump
Xu Miao felt as if someone had been observing him from somewhere. He got goosebumps. Also, the theme song didn't go away.
6 seconds later
Dump-Da-dump-Da-dump-Da-dump
200 meters remained, but Xu Miao couldn't sit still anymore. He summoned Killer Queen and stood. He turned toward the west.
Jia Shan looked at Xu Miao and was about to ask what he was doing. But then, he paused for a moment.
”Shit!” The old man stood up and drew his sword as well. He looked in the same direction that Xu Miao was staring.
5 seconds later.
The Jaw theme in Xu Miao's mind kept getting louder. He could even hear the drums and the trumpet sound, which signaled that the danger was close.
150 meters remaining until they could get to the other side, the boat's speed decelerated as it was about to reach the dock.
At this moment, even Wei Yuan, Jiang Lan, and Kang Yan could sense the danger. They armed themselves and called the others to be careful.
4 seconds later, the ship captain and the crews felt it, too. They screamed, ”INCOMING!!”
Two flying 5th-stage cultivators, who had been watching from afar, flew to the boat. They also saw the shadow silhouette of a large creature in the river.
A large fin surfaced along with the creature black scales. The creature's large glowing silver eyes glared at the moving boat and the crews on board.
The distance between the creature and the ferry boat was 200 meters away, and it was approaching the ship at a rapid speed.
The ship crews were alarmed.
”CHIMERA SHARK!!”
