June 19th, the ninth year since the establishment of the Teng Tribe.
“Woo woo…”
The loud sound of the horn rang out from the Feiyu River and spread throughout the entire Teng tribe.
At this time, the dock of Feiyu River was bustling with people. More than a thousand Teng tribe warriors said goodbye to their families, then took their weapons and luggage and boarded the large ship that had been docked on the river.
By the side of the largest boat, Jiang Xuan, Chishao, Uncaria, Nanxing and others surrounded Shiqiu, with worry and reluctance in their eyes.
A horn bow that had been rubbed to a shiny finish was slung across Shi Qiu's shoulder, and he carried a quiver of arrows on his back. Apart from that, he also had some commonly used weapons and luggage.
This time when they were heading to the central part of the Southern Wilderness, since there were many warriors and the affairs were complicated, it was impossible to let Jing Jie lead the team alone. Therefore, Jiang Xuan chose to let Shi Qiu, who was calm and reliable, go with them.
As the leader of the second hunting team and the most famous sharpshooter of the Teng tribe, there is no need to worry about Shi Qiu's ability. At times, he is even more reliable than Uncaria.
"May the Fuji God bless you with a safe journey."
Chishao painted the totem pattern of the Teng tribe on Shiqiu's face with a solemn expression. After blessing him, he gave him some witchcraft medicine for healing, curing diseases and detoxification, and asked him to keep it for self-defense.
"Thank you for the witch's blessing and medicine." Shi Qiu sincerely thanked Chi Shao.
Jiang Xuan stuffed a bunch of new bronze knife coins into Shi Qiu's hands and said, "Take all these knife coins with you. If you need to give gifts, you can give them as gifts. I don't think any tribe will refuse them."
The newly minted bronze knife coins are golden in color, as if they were made of gold. They are not only beautiful but also practical. Most tribesmen like them very much.
Of course, after being used for a period of time, if not properly stored, the bronze knife coin will oxidize and rust, the color will become dark, and even covered with verdigris.
"Thank you, Chief."
Shi Qiu took the large string of bronze knife coins and carefully put them into the animal skin backpack he carried with him.
Next, Uncaria, Nanxing and others also gave some gifts, and Shiqiu accepted them one by one. Although he didn't say much, he was very touched.
Jiang Xuan patted Shi Qiu's shoulder and said, "It's almost time to set off. Let's get on the boat first. When we get to the central part, we'll first settle down near the Rat Tribe, then find Feng Cao to learn about the situation in the central part. Be careful and cautious in everything you do, and don't be reckless, and don't easily conflict with other tribes."
Shi Qiu asked, "What if other tribes take the initiative to provoke us?"
Jiang Xuan said seriously: "We in the Teng tribe are not made of clay. If you really encounter a situation that you can't bear, just fight. The entire Teng tribe is your backing, and the Teng God will also help you."
Shi Qiu nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."
Afterwards, Shi Qiu said goodbye to everyone and turned around to board the ship without hesitation. Only when he was on top of the high deck did he dare to look back at the familiar plants and trees in the Teng tribe, as well as those familiar people.
Like Shiqiu, there were more than a thousand people who boarded the ship. Some were carefully selected warriors from the Teng tribe, and some were criminals who were exiled to the central region to redeem themselves.
“Woo woo…”
The horn sounded again, and the ship began to weigh anchor. The bronze chains collided and made a clattering sound.
After the anchors at the bow and stern were pulled up, another sailor shouted loudly: "Set sail, get ready to set sail!"
Soon, the sail was pulled up little by little, and with the help of the wind, the ship began to move slowly.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
Outside the Vine Tribe, the vine wall on the river came alive. The thick vines quickly retracted, and soon the entire river surface was opened, just like a floodgate opening, which was quite spectacular.
"goodbye……"
"Take care!"
The fleet began to move forward slowly. The people on the shore waved and shouted, and the soldiers on the ship also waved, and many of them had tears in their eyes.
The journey is long and life and death are uncertain. If you are lucky, you may return triumphantly with honors. If you are unlucky, it may be a farewell forever.
“Woo woo…”
As the sound of the horn gradually faded away, the fleet left the territory of the Vine Tribe, and the vine walls on the river were intertwined again, blocking the view inside and outside.
Shi Qiu stood on the deck, his eyes turning from the back to the front. Although he said nothing, his gaze gradually became firm.
From the moment he left the tribe, the lives of more than a thousand warriors heading to the central region were in his hands. He had to put aside his personal feelings and be responsible for these people.
Soon, the fleet sailed down the Flying Fish River and arrived at the territory of the Frog Tribe.
“Quack, quack, quack…”
In the frog tribe, more than a hundred giant frogs have gathered on the bank of the Flying Fish River. On their backs are members of the frog tribe with different expressions.
When the fleet of the Teng tribe came over, Huo Meng, the leader of the Frog tribe, smiled and said to them: "This time, following the Teng tribe to the central region is a rare opportunity. The central region is extremely rich. As long as you work hard, you may be stronger than me when you come back."
"Let's go with the fleet, and don't bring shame to the Frog Tribe!"
Huo Meng blew a whistle, and after the Teng Tribe's fleet passed by, the Frog Tribe members riding on giant frogs had to follow, whether they wanted to or not.
When these people walked away, Huo Meng gave a thumbs up to Lv Yi who was standing quietly at the side: "Lv Yi, you are the one who solved the two troubles of our Frog Tribe at once."
Green Yi smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, nor did he get carried away.
The Frog Tribe Shaman standing by saw Green-Cloaked Man's performance and was immediately delighted, feeling that there was someone to take over the position of Shaman of the Frog Tribe.
The Frog Tribe Shaman even felt that with Green Clothes' abilities, after he inherited the position of Shaman, the Frog Tribe's strength would definitely become stronger and stronger, even stronger than its peak in the Western Wilderness.
Of course, the Frog Tribe Shaman would never say such words, lest the young man in Green Clothes become proud and waste such a good talent.
After the Vine Tribe fleet and the Frog Tribe members left, Huo Meng and others immediately returned to the tribe and continued to do their own things.
On the other side, after the Vine Tribe fleet left the Frog Tribe territory, they suddenly saw a large number of giant mountain turtles on the river beach ahead.
These mountain turtles are so huge that from a distance they look like a huge black rock with a very strong aura.
The backs of these giant mountain tortoises are packed full with warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and various luggage items, but these giant mountain tortoises can still move freely.
When the fleet of the Teng tribe arrived, Shanjia, who had been waiting on the side, immediately shouted, "Get in the water!"
“Clatter…”
One after another, giant turtles carrying goods and people went into the water. Even the giant frogs and tribesmen of the Frog Tribe following behind the fleet were frightened by the momentum of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and avoided the giant turtles.
This time, the Mountain Turtle Tribe dispatched about one-third of its warriors, a total of seven or eight hundred people, with countless giant turtles and various weapons and supplies, and the momentum was very huge.
After the Mountain Turtle Tribe joined, the spacious river even seemed a little crowded.
Shanjia trotted all the way to the big boat where Shiqiu was, looked up at Shiqiu and said, "Chief Shiqiu, our warriors from the Mountain Turtle Tribe are going with you. Please take care of them when necessary."
Holding a horn bow, Shi Qiu said to Shan Jia: "Don't worry, the Teng Tribe and the Shangui Tribe are the best brothers. I will help them when necessary."
The pangolin was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Chief Stone Loach."
Shi Qiu nodded and said to the soldier beside him: "The fleet continues to move forward!"
“Woohoo…keep going!”
The warrior blew the horn a few times and shouted, and the huge team immediately moved slowly. The big boats of the Vine Tribe, the giant turtles of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and the giant frogs of the Frog Tribe formed an alternative landscape on the river.
Wherever the teams of the three tribes went, the tribesmen living near the banks of the river hid on the shore to watch, in awe of the powerful strength of the Teng tribe. No tribe dared to stop them or make trouble.
…
I wish you all a happy new year, all your wishes come true, good health and good fortune.
