Exaggeration.

Explanation:

Exaggeration is the use of extra or extreme dramatized versions of any scene or event. This is when an event is described using words that seemed more than necessary or even genuine.

In the given excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", the narrator makes Jim's encounter with the witches exaggerated. Jim kept changing his story, from being kept in a trance to riding him down to New Orleans. And such was the exaggerated nature of the story that somehow, it ended with "he said they rode him all over the world and tired him most to death, and his back was all over saddle-bolls."

Thus, the writing technique illustrated is that of exaggeration.
