Under the hazy night, a twenty-meter-long ship was driving in an orderly manner, approaching the river bank ahead.
A group of people in black clothes in the woods waited for a long time tonight, and finally waited for the arrival of the ship they were looking forward to. Everyone was very happy, thinking that this mission would be over soon.
A few kilometers away on a hill, a group of people wearing green camouflage uniforms also noticed the situation on the river in the distance.
"Xiao Liu, take a closer look to see if it's the cargo ship. Don't let them fool you..." the burly bald man said to the younger brother beside him.
"Brother, according to the intelligence description, it is indeed the ship carrying cargo.
And those people are now walking out of the woods and walking towards the shore, apparently going to pick up the ship..."
Xiao Liu looked through the lenses with a light golden aura and could clearly see what was happening in the distance. He carefully looked at the ship on the river and then reported it to his boss.
"Brother, the ship has already appeared. We should probably set off and get closer to the river bank, right?" asked the young man with a tattoo on his neck.
"Wait a little longer until the ship has completely docked and they have taken those things off the ship before we set off again," said the burly bald man.
"If we go there again at that time, will something happen?" The young man with the tattoo on his neck said worriedly.
"Probably not. After all, we hid well here and they didn't notice us... If we get closer at that time, there will be no problem at all." said the burly bald man.
…………
On the river bank, a group of people dressed in black looked at the ship approaching in the distance with excited expressions, and everyone was talking about it.
"After waiting for so long, the wait is finally here."
"If I don't come, I think I won't be able to complete tonight's mission!"
"Yeah! I thought they met an investigator from the Superpower Administration on the way, and something happened."
“The location we chose is quite remote and there are no people around.
It is indeed a very good location to avoid the patrols of investigators."
The whispers of the crowd drifted into the distance with the wind. Just when everyone was smiling happily, a short figure stood in the grass not far from them. There were three little sparrows on this figure's head and shoulders.
.
What these people in black clothes said just now was heard word for word by Colorful Flower and the three little sparrows. At this time, they were 100% sure that these people were criminals.
"You guys stay away, I'm going to take action next." Qisehua said.
"Chirping... Okay." The three little sparrows nodded, then flew up quickly and landed on the branches of a leafy tree dozens of meters away. They looked at the river bank with bright eyes and smiled happily.
A group of men in black.
"Huh?" The leader of the men in black heard the sound of birdsong and felt a little confused.
When he turned his head to look, he saw three petite figures flying out of the grass, and then he looked away. The doubts in his heart disappeared immediately. After all, in this wilderness, it is normal for there to be small sparrows.
On the deck of the ship, a group of people responsible for escorting the goods were very happy to see their connector waiting on the shore.
In order to transport the goods on the ship, they went through several difficulties. It can be said that this transport of goods was several times more difficult than usual.
In the cab, the captain was still using his awakened abilities and observing the surrounding situation.
With rich experience, he did not take it lightly at this time, because he knew that the more this time came, the more vigilant he must be about the changes that may happen around him.
After checking around, there was nothing unusual, so he speeded up a little and let the ship move closer to the river bank.
"boom."
A few minutes later, the ship docked. The person responsible for escorting the goods exchanged a few words with the people in black. Just as everyone was preparing to move the goods to the ship, there was a sudden dense noise in the surrounding grass.
"Shashasha..."
Everyone had happy smiles on their faces, but when they heard dense noises in the grass, everyone stopped smiling and looked around, with nervous expressions on everyone's faces.
Expand your senses and explore around, no one finds anyone else around.
On a hill a few kilometers away, a group of people wearing dark green clothes were preparing to set off after the ship transporting goods docked.
At this time, the young man named Xiao Liu immediately shouted.
"Wait, the situation has changed."
When the burly bald man heard his younger brother say that the situation had changed, he immediately frowned, raised his hand to signal everyone not to rush down the mountain, and then asked.
"Xiao Liu, what do you mean when you say the situation has changed?"
Xiao Liu, who was using the spiritual weapon to observe the situation in the distance, frowned, and then he handed the spiritual weapon in his hand directly to the burly bald man.
"What is this?" The burly bald man noticed that the people on the river bank in the distance were all standing motionless, looking around nervously.
Although they didn't know what happened, looking at their expressions, they knew that something dangerous must have happened at the scene.
"Brother, what did you see?" The young man with the tattoo on his neck, who was about to fight, was stopped from charging again. He was very anxious and asked quickly.
"It seems that something happened on the river bank. Now those people are standing there, looking extremely nervous..." The burly bald man frowned and said to the younger brothers around him.
After everyone heard what the burly bald man said, they all fell silent.
The original excitement calmed down at this moment. After all, something happened in the distance now, and they still don't know what caused it. This is very dangerous for them.
“Let’s wait and see how things will change over there?
If there are no particularly major changes, we will proceed as planned."
The burly bald man thought for a moment and gave the order.
Everyone nodded, and compared to before, they no longer made any noise, because something suddenly happened in the distance, and now no one was in the mood to talk anymore.
…………
The bright moon hanging in the sky is like a silvery moonlight splashing on the earth.
The moist wind blowing from the river caused the flowers, plants and trees on the river bank to sway gently and make a rustling sound.
But when the wind stopped, the flowers, plants and trees on the river bank still swayed slightly, and the rustling sound did not stop.
Whether it was a group of men in black on the shore or the people transporting goods on the ship, they were all caught off guard by this unusual situation.
Most of the people present were practitioners. After discovering the abnormal situation, they immediately used their senses to explore the surroundings. However, after careful inspection, no one was found around them, which made it even more puzzling.
The captain in the cab of the transport ship docked on the shore has been frowning and has not relaxed since the abnormal situation occurred on the shore.
His awakened ability allows his eyes to have sharper vision than ordinary practitioners.
Even in the dark, he can see the surrounding environment clearly. At the same time, as long as a practitioner enters his field of vision, his eyes can detect him or her.
At this time, like those practitioners who had not awakened similar abilities, he inspected the shore, especially the locations where the noise was coming, but found nothing.
"The situation is not good! Such an abnormal and strange thing happening now must be caused by a practitioner. However, no one present found the guy who caused the trouble, which shows that the other party's strength is far better than everyone else."
The experienced captain, after using his powers to detect the trouble-making cultivator, his heartbeat immediately accelerated, and he quickly made the wisest decision in his life.
"Boom..."
The ship docked on the shore started up again, and the roar of the engine attracted the attention of the men in black on the shore. They turned around and found that the ship originally docked on the shore was retreating.
"Eh?!!!"
"What is this for?"
"Goods, our goods haven't been unloaded yet."
"Hey, stop quickly! We need to unload the goods."
For a moment, the man in black on the shore looked at the ship that was about to leave and shouted.
The members of the ship who were responsible for escorting the cargo were also confused by the captain's move.
"Captain, what are you doing? Our cargo hasn't been unloaded yet! How did you drive the ship away?" A crew member ran into the cab and asked.
"The situation on the shore has changed now. For everyone's safety, we have to leave here first." The experienced captain replied to the inquiring crew.
The other crew members who followed him into the captain's cabin heard this answer, thought about it, and thought it made sense, and then everyone stopped talking.
Following the ship to escort the goods and coming to this place for handover is a very risky undertaking. Now that there is something abnormal on the shore, it is understandable that we choose to leave for safety reasons. No crew member will object.
"Tai, they are determined to leave!"
"What are you doing? We have been waiting here for so long, and now we have to leave. Why don't we leave the goods before leaving!"
"Brother, what should we do now? The ship carrying the goods does not intend to deliver the goods to us."
The leading man in black thought quickly for a few times and suddenly understood the inner thoughts of the people on the ship. Although it was understandable that they made such a decision, as the person who came to pick up the goods, he could not accept it.
Just when the leading man in black was about to call his superior and ask him to contact the ship carrying the goods and order the other party to dock quickly and hand over the goods to them, the situation on the shore changed further.
"Shashasha..."
The thick grass swayed even more violently in the calm wind. When the ship was more than ten meters away from the shore, vines as thick as an arm shot out.
"???"
Hearing the noise in the grass behind him and in the surrounding area becoming louder and louder, the man in black on the shore suddenly turned his attention away from the departing ship, and then looked at the location where the noise was coming from.
When everyone saw vines as thick as arms shooting out from the thick grass, everyone was stunned. Seeing them rushing towards their location, everyone immediately ran away in all directions.
"No, the target of these vines is not us at all, they are attacking the transport ship." The leading man in black reacted immediately, and the situation developed just as he thought.
Vines sprouted from the thick grass on the shore and quickly attacked the departing ship.
"No, there are a lot of vines coming towards us." A crew member saw the situation on the shore and shouted anxiously.
As soon as the words were spoken, when everyone was about to react, the vines had already arrived in front of them and quickly wrapped around the ship, making it impossible for the ship that was about to leave to move and being fixed in place.
In the cab, the captain, who was trying hard to control the ship to escape, felt his heart go cold as he saw the vines as thick as arms tightly entangled in the ship.
"Damn it...what are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and cut off these vines."
Hearing the captain's shout, the crew on the ship responded immediately, waving their weapons and chopping down the vines that were tightly wrapped around the ship.
A crew member holding an ax held the ax tightly with both hands and chopped hard on the vines.
"Qiang..."
The extremely sharp ax struck the black vines, making a sound of gold and iron clashing. At the same time, dots of orange-red sparks spattered around where the ax struck.
Such an ax chop only caused some damage to the black vine. The same scene happened to other crew members.
The crew members, whose arms were numb from the shock, stared dumbly at the strong vines wrapped around the ship, with disbelief on their faces.
"Damn it, why are these black vines so strong?"
"It's actually stronger than ordinary metal. You know, if I hit it with an axe, a metal plate four to five centimeters thick would be split open by me.
But with this black vine, I could only make a two to three centimeter incision on it."
The captain in the bridge was not aware of the situation of the crew. Seeing that the vines were still clinging to the ship, he ran out of the cabin angrily and shouted to the crew.
"What on earth are you doing? Split these vines for me quickly. If this continues, I have a feeling that we will finish them all today..."
The crew member holding an ax in his hand said to the captain anxiously, "We also want to split the vines! But these black vines are too hard. When I hit them with the ax, I could only make a small hole in them.
It can’t be broken at all.”
"Yeah! I can't chop it off either." The other crew members quickly agreed, with the anxious look on their faces no less than that of the angry captain.
