An untimely voice suddenly rang out on the deck.
Li Xiaohu and the others turned to look.
They discovered that he was one of the three tomb raiders.
He scoffed dismissively:
"I've traveled all over the country for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of it."
"You have to offer tribute to the river god before you can start sailing."
"I think you guys have really lost your minds."
Upon hearing this, the boat captain angrily retorted, "You may not believe me, but you absolutely cannot speak recklessly!"
"If you want to take a boat, you'd better follow my rules!"
"Or get off the ship!"
The tomb raider frowned upon hearing this and was about to step forward to cause trouble, but was stopped by a burly man.
The burly man gave the captain an awkward smile and said, "Please don't take offense, Captain."
"My brother is young and hasn't seen much of the world."
"Hmph!" The captain snorted coldly before walking back to the bridge and starting the ship.
"beep!------"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The ship slowly began to leave the dock and sail into the center of the Yellow River.
At this time.
An old man standing next to the three tomb raiders suddenly spoke up: "Young men."
"You must believe me."
"If you want to sail on the Yellow River, you must abide by all the taboos and rules!"

The impetuous tomb raider still wanted to argue.
The burly man gestured for the old man to continue.
The old man sighed and slowly said, "In earlier years..."
"Once, a merchant from Xuntu was sailing on the Yellow River transporting goods. When he stopped at the wharf in Gulan County, an old man wearing a green hat came ashore."
"The old man in the green hat came up and asked the merchant for a handful of scorched earth."
"But that clay is so expensive! Why would a merchant just give him a handful for no reason?"
"I immediately scolded the old man a few times and even had my servants beat him up and drive him away."
The old man paused, then asked mysteriously:
"But do you know what happened in the end?"
"What's wrong?" the burly man asked, intrigued.
Partridge Whistle and the others also pricked up their ears, waiting for what was to come.
"Hehe." The old man chuckled and continued.
"As a result, not long after the cargo ship left the dock the next day, a huge green-haired giant softshell turtle emerged from the Yellow River!"
"The cargo ship couldn't stop in time and collided directly with the giant green turtle, capsizing on the spot!"
"A whole boatload of precious clay sank into the river, and everyone on board perished!"
"Later people said..."
"That old man in the green hat must be the river god of the Yellow River. If you want to sail safely on the Yellow River in the future, you have to pay tribute to him first."
The old man described it vividly.
Those who listened felt as if they were there, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.
Even Partridge Whistle and the others listened with serious expressions.
"Heh." But the rash tomb raider still looked disdainful and sneered, "This kind of nonsense can only fool you."
"Over the years, I've traveled all over the country and robbed countless ancient tombs."
"Just those ancient inscriptions on stone tablets that curse us, I've come across at least ten of them!"
"If I actually believed this nonsense like you guys, I'd be dead a million times over by now!"
"If you ask me... this so-called River God is utter rubbish!"
The voice just fell.
The surrounding passengers became wary and instinctively moved away from the group.
It turns out they were a group of tomb raiders who were robbing ancient tombs!
They're all desperate criminals!
The impetuous tomb raider was very pleased to see that he had scared everyone away.
He snorted again.
"Snapped!"
The burly man slapped him on the forehead and cursed under his breath, "Shut up!"
The impetuous tomb raider chuckled sheepishly, then shut his mouth and said no more.
Partridge Whistle looked at Li Xiaohu.
He glanced at the three tomb raiders and quietly made a "take care of them" gesture.
They asked if they should intervene and deal with the group.
Li Xiaohu nodded.
He was told to find a secluded spot after disembarking before making his move.
Although we don't know where this group is headed.
However, since we're in the same place now, it could easily cause unnecessary trouble later.
Partridge Whistle understood and closed his eyes again, pretending to sleep.
suddenly!
Jin Yunu, who was sleeping on Hong Guniang's lap, suddenly opened her eyes, got up, and shouted at the Yellow River in front of her!
"Meow!"
Hong Gu Niang still didn't understand what was going on.
"Bang!"
A loud bang suddenly came from beneath the ship!
At the same time, the ship suddenly shuddered!
Almost simultaneously, everyone on the ship stumbled and fell to the ground!
Li Xiaohu, who was at the bow of the ship, quickly put his arm around Yin Xinyue, who was next to him, and used the scorpion-climbing technique to run into the cabin and arrange for Yin Xinyue to sit down.
The ship began to rock violently!
Li Xiaohu discovered it.
The entire ship suddenly began to spin sideways in the middle of the Yellow River!
The passengers, who had finally managed to stand up, were shaken and thrown to the ground again!
Luggage and goods were scattered everywhere in an instant!
Two unlucky guys standing outside the cabin even slipped and fell over the railing, landing in the water with a "plop!"
"what!"
"Help!"
Chaos erupted on the ship instantly, with passengers gripping the nearest railings and crying helplessly.
Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle stood up and steadied themselves.
Then, holding onto the railing, he walked outside the cabin and peered down into the water.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow swam past beneath the ship!
Partridge Whistle hurriedly shouted:
"There's something down there!"
But Li Xiaohu had no time to care about the giant black shadow.
