Chapter 385 Ship Hijacking

Teng Tribe Year Nine, Thirteenth Month and Fifteenth Day.

“Woo woo…”

Two cargo ships were sailing on the Nan River, loaded with iron ore and some high-quality stones traded from the Bamboo Rat Tribe.

Jingjie stood on the deck at the bow, holding a piece of straw in his mouth, looking at the rippling river surface and feeling the cool river breeze. He was in a very good mood.

He had traveled this waterway many times, and trading with the Bamboo Rat Tribe had become normalized, without much talk between them.

He thought that next time he wouldn't have to come in person, and could just let a small leader who was familiar with the bamboo rat tribe lead the team.

"Since there have been no problems in so many transactions, there is no need to waste time on the Bamboo Rat Tribe."

Jingjie supported the side of the boat with both hands, wondering which tribe to go to for trade next time, what goods to bring, and how much profit he could get.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the ship suddenly shook violently, interrupting Jingjie's fantasy.

"What happened? Did you hit a piece of driftwood?"

Jingjie threw the straw in his mouth and immediately began to check the situation on the river.

They had traveled this waterway many times, so it was absolutely impossible for them to hit any reefs, but it was possible that they would occasionally hit some driftwood floating down from upstream.

Because there are so many trees in the primeval forest, when there is a flood, some river channels will even have a large amount of floating wood accumulated, which needs to be cleared before ships can sail.

However, when Jingjie stuck his head out to take a look, he found that what hit the boat was not a piece of driftwood, but a huge black snake!

This black snake was so huge that it stirred up huge waves when swimming on the water. The snake's body was hundreds of meters long. There was a seven-colored warrior standing on its back, with a terrifyingly powerful aura.

What’s even more shocking is that behind this giant snake, there are countless black snakes floating on the water.

There was a warrior riding on the back of almost every black snake, and it was roughly estimated that there were thousands of them, staring at the big ship of the Teng tribe and Jingjie and others with a covetous look.

Jingjie said with an unpleasant expression: "Black Snake Tribe! How could we meet them here?"

The Black Snake Tribe was one of the large tribes that moved to the Southern Wilds due to environmental deterioration after the Great Rift Valley appeared in the Western Wilds.

Back then, when the Vine Tribe was in the north, the Black Snake Tribe wanted to rob them, but they were scared off by the divine vine's thunder tribulation and the large number of tree people it spawned, and a real life-and-death battle did not break out between the two sides.

Jingjie never thought that he would meet them again in the central region, and far away from the territory of the Teng tribe.

The Black Snake Tribe is clearly well prepared this time, and they have a large number of people, so I'm afraid the situation is not good.

Jingjie said to a warrior beside him in a hurried tone: "Ride the big dragonfly back to the tribe and tell the leader that the Black Snake Tribe is here to hijack the ship."

"yes!"

The warrior quickly climbed up the mast. When he reached the top, he took out his bone whistle and blew it a few times quickly.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

A giant dragonfly that had been traveling with the fleet quickly flew over from the forest and hovered steadily next to the mast.

The warrior climbed a little higher, then leaped up and landed steadily on the back of the giant dragonfly.

"Let's go back to the tribe!"

At the warrior's urging, the giant dragonfly flapped its wings and flew quickly towards the direction of the Vine Tribe.

“Someone escaped!”

"Stop that dragonfly!"

"Don't let him get away!"

The Black Snake Tribe below didn't expect that the people of the Vine Tribe could actually fly on dragonflies. After they reacted, they shouted and wanted to shoot arrows into the sky.

However, Jing Jie was prepared. He calmly shouted to the soldiers on the boat, "Shoot!"

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The warriors of the Vine Tribe drew their bows and drew their arrows. The sharp bronze arrows rained down on the people of the Black Snake Tribe and the big black snakes.

"ah……"

"My legs!"

"My eyes!"

There was a sudden commotion in the Black Snake Tribe, and many people who were shot by arrows screamed.

The leader of the Black Snake Tribe was furious. He rode on the back of the largest snake, holding up a bone spear and shouting, "Attack! Attack! Kill them all!"

“Hiss…”

The giant snake under him flicked its tongue, then swung its tail suddenly and slammed hard into the side of the wooden boat.

The wooden boat shook, and a big hole was knocked out on the thick hull. The warriors of the Teng tribe on the boat could not stand steadily and were shaken to and fro.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"kill!"

At this time, thousands of black snakes carrying tribal warriors rushed over and swam around the wooden boat excitedly. Some of them rammed the boat, and some tried to climb up. The scene was extremely chaotic.

"Don't panic, hold on, don't let them get up, the leader will come to rescue us soon!"

While shouting, Jingjie used the steel harpoon he had made not long ago to stab the Black Snake tribe warriors who were trying to climb onto the boat.

Although the number of enemies is large, in Jingjie's opinion, the supplies on the ship are very important to the Teng tribe and must be preserved.

What's more, the people of the Black Snake Tribe had surrounded the two large ships, leaving them no chance to abandon ship and escape.

His only thought was that he hoped the warrior who brought the news would arrive at the tribe as soon as possible. By then, the leader would ride on a purple eagle and lead a group of warriors riding giant dragonflies to kill the people of the Black Snake Tribe.

However, the leader of the Black Snake Tribe obviously did not want to give him this opportunity.

"Go ahead and eat him!"

The huge black snake hit the ship several times in succession. Then, under the command of the leader of the black snake tribe, it raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards the direction of Jingjie.

The black snake was so big that the side of the wooden boat could not stop it at all.

When Jingjie was stared at by the giant snake, he felt his hair stand on end and a huge sense of crisis surged in his heart.

With the strength of the giant snakes, and the fact that the leader of the Black Snake Tribe is a seven-color warrior, Jingjie would surely die if they got on the deck, and the Vine Tribe warriors on the ship would be no exception.

However, with the strength of the five-color warriors of Jingjie, what can they use to stop this man and this snake? "Crack..."

Just as Jingjie was trying hard to find a way to deal with it, the side of the ship was suddenly hit by a giant black snake, creating a hole. A huge snake head pressed on the deck and tried to continue climbing up. The ship suddenly shook violently and the people on it could not stand steadily.

“Whoosh!”

In desperation, Jingjie grabbed the big cable on the boat, barely stood firm, then grabbed a short spear without hesitation and threw it at the giant snake's eyes.

The eyes are one of the weakest organs in animals. If they are pierced, they will suffer serious damage.

However, the giant snake was not clumsy. It just turned its head and easily avoided the eyes. The short spear thrown hastily by Jing Jie pierced its hard scales and did not cause any harm to it.

"Am I really going to die here today?"

Jingjie looked at the giant snake and the warriors of the Teng tribe who were staggering and unable to take care of themselves, and felt despair in his heart.
