Tonight's Qianqi Ferry seems to be no different from the previous few days. The bright moonlight shines on River Surface, coating Qi River with a beautiful silver halo.

The lights on River Surface were the fleet of Chu Yun Rebels. They also took turns. After sleeping all day, they were particularly energetic at night, beating the war drums so loudly that the fish in the river were startled and scurryed around.

But the North Bank Snake-People camp has become accustomed to the sound of these war drums and still sleeps peacefully. Because on the Qi River North Bank shore, a Snake-People army of about ten thousand people is arrayed with lights on to confront the fleet on the water.

"Do you want to do it now?"

On the camp watch Corner Tower, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the fleet on the water and said softly. The dim and flickering firelight hit her face, full of calmness.

I shook my head and said, "We'll wait until dawn before we take action."

So, Corner Tower fell into silence again. Little Fairy Doctor and I stood side by side, quietly watching the Qianqi Ferry night, the fleet patrolling on the river, the 10,000 Snake-People holding torches arrayed on the shore, and the quiet Snake-People camp.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt sleepy. I stretched out my hand and yawned. Looking up, I saw the bright moon in the sky finally sinking into the misty river mist.

"It's time..."

I cheered up, turned my head and looked at Little Fairy Doctor, and said in a deep voice, "Little Fairy Doctor, you have to be careful, don't be careless."

"Okay."

Her face was covered with white gauze, she nodded slightly, and then jumped out of Corner Tower. Before she landed, light wings condensed from behind, taking her to fly to River Surface.

I took a deep look at her back and turned around to get off Corner Tower. At this time, Qi Lin had also received the news and came from the tent with many generals.

At the same time, as Military Order was conveyed, the entire Snake-People camp suddenly became ablaze. All Snake-People soldiers were awakened from their sleep and began to assemble quickly.

"Toxic Sect Master took action?"

Qi Lin asked in a deep voice. I nodded and walked out of the camp with them. We came to the small earthen building a few days ago and looked towards the Qi River.

The fleet above the water has not noticed anything amiss, and is still cruising slowly there. However, I did not find where Little Fairy Doctor is?

Maybe he has already dived into the water?

The plan this time was very simple. It was nothing more than to go upstream of the fleet, then take out large barrels of kerosene from Ring of Holding, and dump it out.

Kerosene is lighter than water, so it will float to the surface of the water on its own, and then be driven by the current to float downstream to the fleet.

Finally, light a fire.

"Hoo!"

Suddenly, flames appeared on the bright Qi River. Blown by the river wind, they quickly spread downstream and turned into a sea of fire in an instant!

Finally realizing something was wrong, the Chu Yun Rebels fleet let out a confused exclamation.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Some lookouts screamed in surprise, but they had no idea where the enemy was, but no one cared about the enemy.

Is there anything more deadly than this sea of flames?

The officers of a ship began to shout loudly, wanting everyone to row oars so that the ship could leave the sea of fire quickly.

Suddenly, the relatively complete fleet began to become chaotic. One ship fled in various directions, and many ships even collided directly with each other.

"Huhuhu..."

In the blink of an eye, the sea of fire spread along the kerosene for several miles and burned a ship. Although these ships were painted with special paint and would not burn out for a while, it still panicked the entire fleet and completely lost its combat effectiveness.

The fire became more and more fierce, and the intense firelight even spanned several miles, shining on the side of North Bank and also on my face.

Under the firelight, which was as bright as the rising sun, the corners of my mouth were slightly raised, revealing a bright smile.

"Bang!"

A loud bang suddenly sounded, even overwhelming the entire River Surface noise.

Then countless fleet soldiers saw a scene that shocked them. In the middle of the fleet, a huge crack appeared on the middle side of the Tower Ship flagship, which was still trying to command the fleet!

The calm Qi River suddenly turned into a ferocious giant snake, and countless rivers rushed into the crack, dragging the huge Tower Ship that could carry hundreds of people into the Qi River bit by bit.

"Your Excellency, as Dou Wang expert, unexpectedly attacked me. Don't you have any dignity of a strong person?!"

On the tilting bow of the flagship, an old man with gray hair appeared at some point. He exuded the aura of Dou Ling all over his body, and he lowered his head and shouted angrily into the water.

Poison Master Does the strong have the dignity?

Little Fairy Doctor Do you care about these false names?

I don't know the answers to either of these two. But then, Little Fairy Doctor told me through actions - she took action again and smashed a larger ship nearby.

Seeing this, the old general was so angry that he shouted to the sky and called all the Da Dou Shi in the entire fleet. They condensed Dou Qi Armor and jumped into the Qi River.

There were flames burning on the water, but with the protection of Dou Qi Armor, these ordinary flames could not harm them at all. Under the command of the old general, they began to surround Little Fairy Doctor.

Above the water, a sea of fire surged, the intense firelight lit up half of the sky, and dozens of ships scrambled to escape from the waters.

Under the water, there are also undercurrents surging, and a hunt is underway.

North Bank was also surrounded by troops. Ten thousand Snake-People who had been arrayed on the shore all night were removed and replaced by another ten thousand Snake-People.

It's just that they are destined to be just supporting roles, because as early as last night, the 10,000 Snake-People elites who were carefully selected took advantage of the cover of the thick night to walk upstream for more than 20 miles, and finally hid in the dense forest.

When Eastern Fish confessed and Qi Lin's messenger arrived with Military Order, ten thousand Snake-People elites walked out of the dense forest, came to a flat River Beach by the river, and took out the raft in Ring of Holding.

There were so many Snake-Peoples and so many rafts, totaling more than two thousand pieces. Suddenly, this large River Beach seemed very small.

Under the command of one Commandant, tens of thousands of Snake-People were like migrating wildebeest herds, rushing into the Qi River one after another, and rowing towards the other shore on rafts.

These rafts are extremely crude, and these Snake-People cannot punt at all, so from time to time some Snake-People fall into the water, and from time to time some rafts overturn.

But it doesn't matter at all, because there are too many rafts. This Snake-People fell into the water, and the rafts following him can pull him up immediately.

It doesn't matter if the raft capsizes. It's not a boat. There is no front or back. You can just climb up and continue paddling.

They rowed toward the Qi River South Bank in a mighty manner, and were naturally discovered by a group of Chu Yun Rebels waiting riders coming from patrol.

The captain of the waiting team looked at the rafts floating densely on the water. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lost their luster forever.

Because a Javelin pierced his chest.

When he fell off his horse, a Snake-People rushed out from the grass on the side. In the Dou Qi excitement, it turned out to be a Dou Ling strong man.

He held Long Spear, and as the cold light flashed, no one in the entire waiting team survived.
