"Two beastmen from the Sky Rat tribe, what are your thoughts on our tribe's food?"

After the meal, Lin Xue had someone make a cup of tea for the four of them.

This tea is made from honeysuckle flowers that Ya and the others picked on the mountain.

Since their diet consisted mainly of meat, Lin Xue suggested that they drink more herbal tea to reduce the internal heat in the orcs' bodies.

Therefore, nowadays, all the beastmen of the Green Mountain Tribe like to brew a cup of tea in their spare time and drink it slowly.

"Your tribe's food is absolutely delicious! It's something our Sky Rat tribe has never seen before, and we couldn't even imagine such deliciousness before!"

The white mouse smacked its lips twice, still savoring the taste of the food it had just eaten.

"If our Green Mountain tribe is willing to invite your Sky Rat tribe to join us and become our vassal, what would the Sky Rat tribe chief think?"

Orcs are always straightforward when it comes to matters, and Lin Xue did not stop Ya's actions, but simply watched quietly from the side.

"Is the Green Mountain Tribe willing to accept our Sky Rat Clan?"

"Chief, as you know, our Sky Rat clan has very poor combat capabilities and can hardly catch any prey!"

White Mouse was surprised that Ya and the others would say this; he found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Sky Rat tribe had considered relying on other tribes for survival, but as soon as others heard that they were from the Sky Rat tribe, they immediately shook their heads and refused.

No one would choose a tribe with extremely poor survival skills as their vassal.

Why would the Qingshan tribe want to incorporate the Tianshu clan?

“Our Green Mountain tribe has plenty of strong warriors, so we don’t need your Sky Rat tribe to hunt. However, we do need you to do some tedious but safe tasks!”

"Chief White Rat might consider joining our Green Mountain Tribe. At least your White Rat Tribe will be able to get through this cold season smoothly! And I believe you will never find another powerful tribe like ours to rely on!"

What Ya said was true, and the Sky Rat Clan Chief probably understood this as well, so they didn't need to waste any more words on this matter.

Success is fine, but I don't really care if I don't achieve anything!

"I wonder if the females in the tribe will still be able to stay and live within the Sky Rat Clan after we submit?"

The white rat's concerns were not unfounded.

There are many weak races on this continent. If they want to attach themselves to a powerful race, they must offer up the females of their tribes to the powerful race to be used as tools for reproduction.

Although the Sky Rat tribe was very poor and often went hungry, the White Rat chieftain was still unwilling to exchange the females of his tribe for the tribe's survival.

Not only are the males of weaker races weak, but the females are also more delicate than females of other races.

They would likely not survive long if they reached the strong orcs.

"Chief White Rat, don't worry. Your females are still your females. We have no interest in the females of your tribe!"

"However, your tribe members must obey the arrangements of our Green Mountain Tribe. We will assign you many tasks, and only by diligently completing the tasks we assign can you continue to depend on our Green Mountain Tribe for a living!"

White Mouse breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Green Mountain tribe did not require them to hand over females as a price.

If it's just a matter of needing them to do work, the Sky Rat clan has nothing to fear.

Who on the Orcish continent is more hardworking than these weak races?

However, their hard work often doesn't translate into corresponding material rewards!

For a weak race that has a powerful tribe to rely on, the improvement in their living conditions is not as simple as just one or two levels.

At least they no longer have to worry about other tribes coming to raid them.

There's no need to worry about not surviving the next day!

"Chief, we are willing to submit to the Green Mountain Tribe!"

After careful consideration, the white mouse finally made a wise decision.

"That's wonderful! Welcome to the Green Mountain Tribe. I guarantee you won't regret your decision today!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Lin Xue was very happy. She used a bamboo ladle to refill the hot water for the two of them.

"Please try this flower tea. If you've eaten too much meat, drinking some flower tea will help soothe your stomach and intestines!"

Since they were on the same side, Lin Xue's smile became even more sincere.

Although the white rats couldn't understand, they still thanked Lin Xue for her kindness and then picked up their bowls and drank in small sips.

"Amu, now that the Sky Rat tribe has agreed to join us, should we send them ahead first, or wait for our group and have them travel with us later?"

The Sky Rat tribe is not far from the Great River tribe, and their territory is very small.

Presumably, supplies are scarce, and Ya is somewhat worried that these weak races might get stuck on the road.

"Alright, Chief White Rat! Go back and organize people to mine more coal, that black poisonous stone you mentioned!"

"Once our meeting is over, you can come with our group. That way it will be safer!"

"Mine as much coal as you can. Don't worry about us not being able to take it all with us. We can always ask other orcs to help us transport it!"

Anyway, Lin Xue and the others still have more than half of the dried meat they brought this time.

If there are not enough people, other orcs can be asked to help transport the supplies to the vicinity of the tribe.

Once the goods reach their territory, there's nothing to worry about!

"Understood. I'll go back now and organize people to mine the black stones. Our tribe has other things too; I wonder if the beautiful female would be interested?"

Although the white rat didn't know what the Green Mountain tribe wanted so much coal for, since they wanted it, they must know a better way to use it.

White Rat probably won't come back after this departure, so he still hopes that the people of the Green Mountain tribe can visit their tribe.

Perhaps there is something they usually overlook that is actually very valuable.

For example, they didn't know that this black stone was actually called coal.

"Then I'll go there tomorrow. Please pack up everything you don't recognize so I can take a closer look!"

"After this move, you probably won't be coming back, so you can't leave any of the good stuff behind!"

It has to be said that Lin Xue's idea coincided with that of Bai Shu; they had both thought of the same thing.

After seeing off the white rats and the others, Ya sent two tribesmen with him.

The mother and son chatted for a while longer before taking their respective breaks.

the next day

Ya was worried about Lin Xue going to the territory of the Sky Rat Tribe alone, so he had no choice but to go with her!

Accompanying them were more than 100 warriors from the Qingshan tribe.

Since it wasn't on their own territory, even the powerful Shadow Beasts didn't dare to be too arrogant.

They believe that having a large group makes them less likely to be provoked.

When Lin Xue arrived at the territory of the Sky Rat Tribe, she realized just how small their tribe's territory was!

This territory can be seen almost as far as the eye can see, and all of it together is just a small mountain.
