The moonlight is like water, falling on the long river, bright and pure without distinguishing each other. The bonfires blazed, illuminating the flat riverbanks as well as the busy crowds.

Crocodile King Quin, with four hundred Mayan warriors, stood on the bank of the river and watched the transaction in person. Hundreds of Mayan villagers bowed their heads, bowed their waists, and carried large bamboo baskets, and were driven by others like obedient worker ants. One by one, they piled up all kinds of precious goods on the river bank in front of the long ship. Dozens of sailors from the kingdom also carried bags of expensive gems and placed them on the other side of the river bank.

"Lord God witness! One bag of gems, twelve baskets of salted fish... ten bags of cocoa, eight rolls of cotton, six bags of tobacco, four jars of honey..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo was familiar with the road, shouting the price of the goods, and presiding over the transaction between the two parties. Soon, baskets of goods were shipped on board, and bags of gems in the lake with stable quality also flowed into the hands of Mayan nobles.

Hearing the good price, the crocodile king Ain smiled and was quite satisfied. Located in the lower reaches of the Red River, Honghu Town is the trading node of dozens of Mayan city-states upstream. The Mayan aristocracy of each state is high above the ground and has never been overthrown by the mortals. For hundreds of years, they have amassed enormous wealth that they have nowhere to spend. And the nobles' strong demand for gems has never been satisfied!

The gems in the lake are of high quality and can be used to decorate walls, make statues of gods, inlaid on clothing, on teeth, on necks and arms, and can also be presented to gods in ceremonies and buried with gods in tombs. In other words, with so many gems in his hands, he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them. The cheapness of this wave of gem fleets is nothing if they don’t make money for nothing. Earning it once and eating it for three years! ...

Thinking of this, the crocodile king Ain turned his head, the jade nails collided with his teeth, and whispered a few words. The warrior leader Chaha bowed to his orders, and then hurried away with a group of civilians, as if to bring more goods.

"Dark snake, why are you in a daze? Hurry up, forty jars of honey, buy them all! With so many people, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat them all?"

The old militiaman Chihuaco was slung over his waist, holding a bronze spear and waving his big hand. His eyelids twitched, but there was no lake in his voice. To be honest, Old Man Qi has never been so arrogant in his life.

"Ten baskets of air-dried spices for six bags of lake gems? I bought it! Ten bags of crystal clear amber for ten bags of lake gems? I bought it!...Ten bags of pure jade for thirteen bags of lake gems? Why are you hesitating? Buy them all It's over!...You stupid wood, if you don't buy all of these, can people be willing to let us go?...What? The price is not good?

Dark Snake lowered his head, carefully holding a large jar of honey, and moved to the boat. The Mayans mastered the technology of beekeeping, and the honey produced is of high quality and sufficient quantity, and the price is much lower than that of the Mexican plateau. Such precious sweets, even if the city of Atlisco is still in the hands of the family, he can only eat it during festivals.

"Such delicious honey...Even if it is the terrifying Highness of Death, it may not be able to eat it, right? Father Qi actually asked us crew members to let go of eating... woo woo woo, daddy is really good !"

The dark snake quietly opened a crack in the pot, stretched out his fingers, stirred it vigorously, and then took two sips in his mouth. The sweet taste immediately entered his heart, making his eyes crooked with laughter. Sailor Didi squatted beside him, watching with saliva. He also held a jar of honey, but he didn't have the guts to steal it.

"Come on, eat some too, it's mine!"

The dark snake looked left and right, and the crew members all looked at the bank of the transaction, and their eyes were shining. He simply lifted the pottery lid and handed the honey to Didi.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You must have never eaten such sweet honey!"

Sailor Didi stretched out his hand tremblingly, carefully dipped some honey into his mouth. After a while, his eyes became star-shaped, and tears welled up from the corners of his happy eyes. He took two more bites, but he was a little unsteady on his feet, as if he was drunk.

"I...I'm a little dizzy..."

"Ha! Didi, it looks like you've never eaten something so sweet! Eat a little and you'll faint!"

The dark snake smiled, turned to look left and right, and then looked at the moon in the sky. The sky tonight is just right, the evening wind is quiet and peaceful. Sailing at sea can be so beautiful!

"The night is just right, and the fire is bright! Ordinary warriors will put on leather armor for me, and warriors above the third level will be replaced with bronze armor, ready to fight at any time! If these Mayans are ignorant, I will send them to see Mother Moon!"

On the flagship, Puap was wearing bronze armor, carrying a big bow, and straddling a copper axe, with a murderous look on his face. Behind him, dozens of Prepecha warriors were neatly dressed and ready to fight.

The brave gray-earth warrior watched for a while, and his eyes were locked on the strange-looking Crocodile King Ain. He closed one eye, gestured for a distance, and frowned. He thought about it again, then looked beside him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Look at that strange god? Strange shape, the one with the divine scepter! At this distance, who of you is sure you can hit it?"

After hearing the words, the warriors looked over and saw the Mayan chief who was more than a hundred steps away. They were all silent, and only two archers stood up. Puap took a closer look and saw that it was Cavado, a mountain bird from the Yorem tribe, and a surviving scout on Tiburon Island. Toad was delighted. The Silver Crow Warrior Osprey on the side opened his mouth and looked at the big bow in his hand, which he was not fully familiar with, but didn't say a word.

"Okay! Mountain Bird, Toad, both of you are ready! If the other party is ready to make a move, send arrows together and shoot the crocodile goddess to death!"

The two sharpshooters nodded silently, holding a big bow in one hand and a copper arrow in the other, secretly adjusting their breathing. Ain, the crocodile king on the shore, seemed to have sensed it, and glanced at the boat. Soon he was contemplating the armor, bows, and copper axes of the warriors on board, thoughtfully.

"Well... these warriors of the Menghu tribe look very capable of fighting! These armors and weapons..."

Crocodile King Ain estimated the number of warriors who disembarked, and felt more apprehension in his heart. At this moment, the transaction on the shore has largely ended. The Mayans were exchanging precious cinnabar, gold and silver grains for gemstones of equal weight. And there are not many expensive goods like this, and it is almost the end for two thousand pounds.

"Friends from the Menghu tribe! Your armor and weapons seem to be very extraordinary..."

Crocodile King Ain smiled and pointed to the boat with a smile.

"The Moon Goddess is watching us! Can you show me your armor and weapons?"

"Um?..."

The old militiaman Chiwako pondered for a while, then replied with a smile.

"Respected Chief Ain, the mother goddess of the moon witness! Our friendship is like a long river. On behalf of the fleet, I can give you five bronze spears, two bronze axes, and a crocodile leather armor!"

"Oh? Yes, very good!"

Crocodile King Ain nodded in satisfaction. But a moment later, a sailor from the kingdom came hurriedly and handed over the weapons and armor to the guards of the Mayan chiefs. Crocodile King Ain touched the hardness of the leather armor and raised his brows. Afterwards, he tried the blade of the spear again, and plunged into the soil with one stroke. Crocodile King Ain's eyes flickered, he picked up the bronze axe, and ordered the Mayan warrior to pick up the flint dagger. The two clashed one by one, and the dagger broke off after a short pause, but the bronze axe blade was unscathed.

"hiss!"

The crocodile king Ain suddenly changed color. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already a kind and sincere smile.

"Haha! As expected of a warrior of the God of War, a voyager who shoulders God's purpose! These equipments are really enviable!... Praise the Mexican God of War!"

"Praise the Lord God! Praise the Moon Goddess! Witness of the gods, we are all friends!"

The old militiaman nodded with a smile and responded with a few words. Then, the two sides were suddenly quiet, and it seemed that no one was interested in speaking.

The long river gradually flowed, and the fire light flickered faintly. When the transaction was completed, the warrior leader Chaha appeared again, but there were more than 300 Mayan warriors behind him. And seeing this scene, the seven longboats, the brigade of kingdom warriors all appeared, each wearing armor and holding a bow, waiting cautiously.

"Blessed by the Moon God! Chief, I brought enough warriors. We..."

"Um!"

Crocodile King Ain raised his palm and waved his hand gently. Then, with a serious expression and a smile on his face, he looked at the fleet after the transaction and spoke kindly.

"The Menghu tribe is our friend! Let's sing and dance to bid our friends farewell!"

The long river is long, and the sound of farewell singing and dancing echoes on the shore. The warrior leader Chaha carried a spear, danced a farewell battle dance, and learned the call of an owl. The crocodile king Ain gestured with his divine scepter, and the chief priest Tomat also responded with his divine scepter. The faces of more than a dozen Mayan nobles were filled with satisfied smiles. They each hand a bag of gems presented by the fleet, as well as a book of the Lord God's "Ali".

The dark snake held the honey pot and looked at the sincere farewell crowd on the shore, and his heart was full of emotion.

"What a simple Mayan! What a kind and hospitable god-born noble!"

Priest Tomat stood on the bow, watching the approaching shore and the Mayan crowd slowly receding. The bright moon is gradually setting, and the morning sun is rising.

"His Royal Highness said that the world is bustling, and they all come and go for their own interests. When the priests guide everyone, they should take advantage of the situation and give them both kindness and power! ... Phew! This meeting, being able to retreat from the body, is really the blessing of the Lord God!"

Priest Thomas raised his head slightly, looked at the rising sun in the east, prayed silently for a moment, and then recited a scripture marked by His Highness.

"What a pity! The Lord God cherishes the people of the world~lightnovelpub.net~ and bestows divinity in the hearts of all people. People do not want to become demons, but they are so obsessed with materialistic desires that they are always unable to restrain themselves. Often, they have become demons before they know it! "

Hearing this verse, Maya Tikalo raised her brows and lowered her eyes. He sighed, looked at the hopeful red sun, and whispered in his heart.

"...If you don't become a demon, how can you live? I have already put my life on the line, and I am with you all this time! The Lord God bless!"

Silent and audible prayers are dissipated in the breeze of Haikou. In the corner of the fleet, Dark Snake and Didi were holding a honey pot, like two mice, they were very happy to steal the food. The old militiaman Chiwako looked at the two teenagers who stole his mouth from a distance, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"Ha, let's go forward! When you encounter a stone, kick the stone away; when you encounter a puddle, step over the puddle. The big living will never be suffocated by urine... and go forward, No need to look back!"

Further ahead, Puap was standing at the bow of the boat, still covered in armor. The brave dust warrior did not look back. He gritted his teeth, looked at Haitian in the east, and muttered fiercely.

"The God of Serpents, the Xiu family... Your Master Ash is coming!"
