Blackfoot's eyes betrayed no emotion; he took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Li remained silent, simply watching him.

After a moment, Black Foot suddenly sneered and stood up.

He turned and left.

Li remained silent, simply watching his retreating figure.

However, the fact that Blackfoot stopped causing trouble with the Red Flower Tribe did not mean that his brothers had given up. Several of them shouted loudly to express their anger towards Blackfoot, and some even threatened to lead the way in killing all the members of the Red Flower Tribe's hunting team.

Blackfoot was in a terrible mood. Hearing the commotion behind him, he became even angrier and roared, "We came out to hunt! Not to fight with the Red Flower Tribe!"

"..." After saying this, Black Foot stared at Li, "If this were any other time, I swear you would never be this lucky, and I would be the first to rush in and cut off your head."

Chu: "Who's afraid of you! If you want to fight, then fight! Come on!"

"Chu!"

Li shouted.

Blackfoot gave Li a deep look, then looked at the several soldiers who were staring at him, their faces full of confusion about his "backing down," and said in a low voice, "Starting a war now is of no use. We came out to hunt and find food. Starting a war will only increase our casualties and theirs."

Blackfoot pointed downstream: "It was wrong of us to insult your fallen soldiers. As an apology, you can go downstream first and find a safe way out of here. We will cross the river behind you after you have crossed safely, and then follow you to the other side."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but sneer inwardly, knowing that Black Foot was essentially bullying him.

By saying this, he was standing on the moral high ground. I'm afraid that Chu and a large group of hunting team members would have "reconciled" with Blackfoot after hearing him say this, and even sincerely thought that Blackfoot was a magnanimous person. But they forgot that they were the ones who arrived at Liang Menghe first. No matter who came first or last, the Red Flower Tribe should definitely go first.

Li Qing looked at Li. Li Qing greatly admired Li's reaction and decision just now. However, now that Black Foot said this, Li would probably... find a way to back down and agree to the other party's words, secretly suffering a loss in silence.

As expected, Li agreed, "Okay."

A smile appeared on Black Feet's face.

Can?

How can this be!

When Li Qing heard that Li had indeed found a way to back down, he immediately became anxious!

Putting aside whether they admit defeat or not, that's a simplistic view. But if you think about it more deeply, you'll realize something's wrong. This is clearly an attempt to make them all scapegoats!

They said they would wait for the Red Flower Tribe to cross the river first before taking action. Doesn't that mean they would follow behind the Red Flower Tribe, let the Red Flower Tribe find a safe place to cross the river, and let the Red Flower Tribe "test the waters" first to make sure it's safe before crossing the river?

mean!

This can't go on!

Just as Blackfoot was walking back, intending to rest with his hunting party, Li Qing suddenly walked up behind him: "Wait a minute."

Black Foot turned around and looked at Li Qing.

A complete stranger.

"Who are you?"

Blackfoot frowned and asked.

He didn't think Li Qing was strong and didn't pay much attention to him.

Li Qing said calmly, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to cross the river first?"

Li was surprised when Li Qing suddenly stood in front of him. He subconsciously grabbed Li Qing's shoulder and pushed him back.

Chu also quietly ran to Mai Zi's ear and whispered, "Mai Zi, are you crazy? Black Foot could probably kill you with one punch. Tell us what you want to say so we can pass it on to him."

Blackfoot rubbed his fist in surprise, walked up to Li, and looked down at Li Qing, who was shorter than him. "Kid, are you looking for death? I've already given your tribe a chance, and you still don't cherish it? Or are you dissatisfied with Li and my decision and want to reason with us with your fists?"

Li Qing's fawning expression seemed genuine: "More than half of our team are level one warriors, how could we possibly defeat you?"

“That’s true,” Blackfoot said, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the Red Flower Tribe’s hunting team. “They’re all unfamiliar faces, and they don’t seem very strong. According to you, more than half of them are level one warriors, so they’re even less likely to beat us.”

A burly man behind Blackfoot patted his chest and said loudly, "Our team is full of level two warriors! We're stronger than you, and we outnumber you too, haha, kid, you were absolutely right!"

"Wheat, you!"

Chu didn't understand what Li Qing was up to, and when Li Qing "revealed his true intentions," he said unhappily, "Why waste time talking to them about this?"

Li Qing secretly turned around, gave Chu and Li a reassuring look, then turned to look at Black Foot, grinned and said, "So I think your White Feather Tribe should leave first."

Li Qing pointed to the lower reaches of the river: "Moreover, you named this river."

"Therefore, you are more qualified than us to cross the river first, and more qualified to hunt for plump and meaty prey," Li Qing concluded.

Black Foot's eyes darted around as he looked at Li Qing, trying to discern something from Li Qing's eyes. However, Li Qing was a very famous actor before he transmigrated. At this moment, he could easily fool Black Foot by showing off his acting skills and exaggerating a hint of fear.

Blackfoot didn't detect anything strange in Li Qing's eyes.

"This kid..."

"Wouldn't that leave me in a dilemma, unable to refuse or agree?"

Blackfoot was calculating in his mind. If he agreed to Li Qing's request, his team would have to play the role of "scapegoats." But if he refused Li Qing, it would seem strange and would easily expose his true purpose.

Blackfoot was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to respond. This was not what he had expected. In his memory, the Red Flower Tribe were all stubborn and unyielding. How could someone like Li Qing, who was trying to flatter him, appear?

"I...this..."

Black Feet stammered for a long time, unsure whether to agree or disagree.

"Wheat, what exactly are you planning?"

Chu lowered his head and asked, and even Li looked at Li Qing with a strange expression.

“It’s not that we can’t let them cross the river first, since there are plenty of food options on the other side. But…” Chu snorted a few times, displeased, “it just makes me quite unhappy, especially since you’re the one who’s willing to let them cross the river first.”

Li Qing ignored Chu. He was very close to Black Foot now, and any slight movement could alert the other party to something amiss.

When acting, you have to act realistically.

Li Qing started grinning foolishly again. He kept smiling innocently at Black Foot, making Black Foot feel uneasy all over. Black Foot gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Damn it, if I refuse now, I'll look really stupid!"

Blackfoot said, though his words didn't reflect his true feelings, "It's good that you know the difference between us and your tribe. Then we'll take our leave first."
