"What did you say?" A trendous roar erupted from a wooden house within the Earth Tiger Tribe.
The people in the Earth Tiger Tribe froze imdiately. There was no mistaking it, this was the Chieftain’s voice.
They had never heard the Chieftain roar so loudly before. It had carried to very distant places within the Tribe.
"What’s wrong with the Chieftain?" Hu Kao asked in confusion.
"How should I know? Probably Yini caused so trouble. After all, only Ci ca back this ti." Hong Yun shook his head.
Both were Totem Warriors of the Earth Tiger Tribe, veterans from the older generation.
"It shouldn’t be anything serious, should it? But why would that person return? She’s clearly from another continent," Hu Kao frowned.
"Who knows? I think this matter is probably quite serious."
Hong Yun waved his hand. "Didn’t we agree not to discuss this anymore? The Shaman said that as long as she joined the Earth Tiger Tribe, the past wouldn’t matter."
"I know, I know. Why such a big reaction? You startled ," Hu Kao patted his chest.
"Alright, get back to work. Don’t speculate here," Hong Yun rolled his eyes.
The two only paused briefly before dropping the matter, as there was still much work to do. After all, the rainy season was approaching. If sothing had happened to Yini, they would find out eventually.
There was no rush. The urgent priority was to prepare protective asures for the incoming rainy season.
Inside the wooden house, Hu Huzi’s expression was extrely dark. His body had completely risen from his seat.
"Everything I said is true. The Chieftain’s plan was discovered. Now, the Fla Dragon Tribe demands we pay reparations," Ci repeated.
From the ti the Fla Dragon Tribe’s Warriors sent her back until now, only two days had passed. Ci rushed towards the Tribe as soon as she left the hot air balloon. Such an important matter could not be delayed.
"Pay reparations to the Fla Dragon Tribe? What kind of joke is this? Does that Tribe even have the qualifications to demand reparations from us?"
Hu Huzi appeared completely unconcerned. He had never taken the Fla Dragon Tribe seriously. "But why did you return? Where’s Yini? Don’t tell this is a trap you arranged with another Tribe?"
Upon first hearing they had made this demand, his imdiate reaction was anger. Now he almost wanted to laugh.
Finally, he began worrying about his Daughter, since only one person had returned.
"Chieftain, the Fla Dragon Tribe seems to genuinely have so strength, so we shouldn’t take risks. They’re holding Yini as a hostage precisely to ensure we comply with their demands." Ci’s tanned face showed concern. She worried about Yini’s safety and felt sowhat guilty that she should have returned as the representative instead.
As for her assessnt of the Fla Dragon Tribe’s capabilities, this was her conclusion from spending those days there.
She felt the Fla Dragon Tribe’s possession of so many amazing items was not that simple. This might be related to their strength.
Of course, this was rely speculation. There might be other reasons.
Otherwise, with so many powerful Tribes on this continent, why didn’t they have the great items that the Fla Dragon Tribe possessed?
"If they had strength, they wouldn’t be a Small Tribe. If they had strength, they would be more assertive. They wouldn’t be using you to convey demands for reparations like this."
Hu Huzi took a large gulp of Ferocious Beast Blood. He clearly didn’t regard the Fla Dragon Tribe highly. "To think I would be afraid just because they’re keeping my Daughter at the Fla Dragon Tribe? Utterly laughable."
"Chieftain, wasn’t their territory occupied by the Black Snake Tribe for a ti? They only reclaid it recently. To have developed to this extent is already impressive." Yini was still sowhat worried. "So we should still be careful. The rainy season is approaching, and we shouldn’t take risks. Yini is still in their hands."
"Tell about the Fla Dragon Tribe’s situation. Then I’ll decide what to do next," Hu Huzi asked.
After all, Yini was in their hands. No matter how much he looked down on the Fla Dragon Tribe, he had to understand the opposition properly.
"The Fla Dragon Tribe’s has a lot of Warriors patrolling. I specifically observed for several days and discovered that each batch of Warriors seems sowhat different…" Ci recounted everything from the previous days. "Besides that, they have so very strange weapons that we’ve never seen before."
For this, she had specifically asked many people from other Tribes at the Central Market. The answer she received was that no one had seen them before.
"Based on what you’re saying, the Fla Dragon Tribe is indeed a peculiar Tribe. However, they might also be putting on a show." Hu Huzi frowned. "Precisely to make people think the Fla Dragon Tribe is very strong. This Tribe is quite clever in this regard, but it’s rely a pretense."
"That’s hard to say, Chieftain. You’re not planning to abandon those Warriors, are you?" Ci imdiately began worrying.
Her deepest concern was for Yini, as she had placed so much trust in her. She absolutely could not fail this mission.
Moreover, cultivating a Warrior required trendous ti and energy. Warriors were a Tribe’s foundation.
"Why did it have to be Yini? If only it were soone else." Hu Huzi’s expression was also unpleasant. He naturally understood the importance of the Warriors, and more so his Daughter.
However, comparing Warriors to Shaman Bone Tablets, the Shaman Bone Tablets would certainly stand out more.
Properly utilised, Shaman Bone Tablets could exert power comparable to several Warriors. Moreover, the ti required to craft Shaman Bone Tablets might exceed that of training a Warrior.
If his Daughter were not in their hands, he would definitely consider abandoning those Warriors.
"Chieftain, although they’re demanding many Shaman Bone Tablets, we can negotiate with them. Perhaps the number will decrease," Ci suggested.
She now felt Yini’s words were correct. She was glad she had returned this ti. Otherwise, the Chieftain would definitely abandon the remaining Warriors. This was evident from what the Chieftain had just said.
"Demanding fifty Shaman Bone Tablets right away? Do they think our Shaman can create that many each day? That is simply impossible."
Hu Huzi was livid. "We can only give them ten at most. No more than that."
"Chieftain, what about the number of slaves? And the quantity of dried at?" Ci imdiately asked.
"The number of slaves must also be halved. A thousand slaves is impossible. Five hundred at most. This represents over half our Tribe’s slaves."
Hu Huzi’s face had turned red with anger. He continued, "The dried at is the sa. We can’t give too much. Cut it in half as well. We also need to survive through the rainy season."
"Yes, Chieftain. I’ll negotiate with the Fla Dragon Tribe’s people imdiately," Ci nodded at once.
She was almost eager to leave the Tribe and properly negotiate with the Fla Dragon Tribe.
"Tell them to treat Yini well, or they’ll get nothing." Hu Huzi knew the Fla Dragon Tribe’s people were currently not far from the Tribe.
"Yes." Ci nodded emphatically.
