After moving the iron ore, Su Tang made honey water for the group.

Hu Shen and Niu Li were already used to the unusual foods at Su Tang's house.

"Why is this water sweet?" Yingjie asked in surprise after taking a sip, nudging Niu Li.

Yingjie never eats fruit. He was already amazed by how delicious the fruit was here, but he never expected the water to be so good.

No wonder the king and the cubs were reluctant to go back.

If he could eat such delicious food every day, he would want to stay here.

When the thought crossed Yingjie's mind, he paused for a moment, then quickly banished it from his head.

He came here to find Wang Hui of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, how could he have such thoughts!

"Is it delicious? Hehe, I don't know either." Niu Li chuckled. Every time he helped Atang with chores, Atang would give them sweet water to drink.

Yingjie: "..." This stupid ox, you don't even know how to laugh so happily!

Su Jianyuan tilted his head back and drank two large bowls of honey water. Suddenly, he heard Su Tang say from the side, "Brother, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"What good news?" Su Jianyuan put down his bowl, completely ignoring the second half of the sentence.

If he doesn't hear it, it doesn't exist.

"The Black Mountain Tribe has coal mines." While Hu Shen and the others were resting nearby, Su Tang first told Su Jianyuan the information she had obtained from Mao Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Su Jianyuan's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?! A coal mine?"

He remembered his older brother saying that if there was coal, the bamboo bear beastmen could smelt iron even faster!

"Where is the coal mine? I'll take the orcs to dig it up tomorrow!"

He rubbed his hands together, and the fatigue on his face vanished instantly, replaced by excitement and exhilaration.

“It’s in our old tribe, the Black Mountain tribe,” Su Tang replied.

"And what's the bad news?" Su Jianyuan asked hesitantly.

"The bad news is that the Black Mountain Tribe's coal mines are now occupied by the Earth Dragon Orcs, and we can't get in."

The beast form of the Earth Dragon Beastman is a crocodile.

This is what Su Tang found out from Xiao Fu.

Although Xiao Fu didn't know what kind of orcs attacked the tribe, he had seen what they looked like.

According to Xiao Fu's description, the Earth Dragon Beastmen are extremely ferocious. Once they catch a creature, whether male or female, they will bite it to death.

They probably didn't want them to spread the word that the Black Mountain tribe possessed flammable stones, so they had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Of the hundreds of orcs in the Black Mountain tribe, only a few dozen have escaped and survived.

Such orcs would probably not allow them to go in and dig coal.

"What kind of bullshit earth dragons are they? They're just a bunch of bandits!" Su Jianyuan was immediately filled with righteous indignation. "The hatred for stealing coal—no, stealing our tribe's—is irreconcilable!"

Su Tang: "..." If she didn't know what kind of person her second brother was, she would have believed it.

"The Earth Dragon Beastmen are very powerful. It won't be easy for them to take back the Black Mountain Tribe," Su Tang warned.

The fact that they were able to conquer a tribe of several hundred orcs shows that they had a numerical advantage.

Just then, Hu Shen came over and said, "My people and I can help."

If there really were combustible stones, it would be of great benefit to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

He will have more opportunities to exchange supplies with Atang in the future.

"Good brother, that's a true friend!" Su Jianyuan slapped Hu Shen's arm hard.

Hu Shen has more than a hundred members, all of whom are strong and healthy young males, each one as capable as two.

He can go to the Gray Wolf tribe and plunder some more Gray Wolf Orcs; gathering two hundred Orcs won't be a problem.

For Su Jianyuan, this many orcs were more than enough!

Su Tang looked at the two of them with concern. Was it really that easy to take down a tribe?

It sounds like you're going on vacation.

Sensing Su Tang's gaze, Hu Shen explained:

"The snow season is coming soon. I hope that after we conquer the Black Mountain tribe, we can also get some of these stones."

Yingjie behind him looked completely bewildered.

If you want to attack a tribe, why not just send him with the orcs from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?

Does their king even need to share resources with other orcs?

"Of course, no problem!" Su Jianyuan assumed that Hu Shen was also after coal, so he readily agreed.

"but……"

After Su Jianyuan finished speaking, he paused and looked at the people present, "Where is the Black Mountain Tribe again?"

Everyone knows that the Su family's orcs have lost their previous memories.

The only one who didn't suffer from amnesia, Xiao Fu, was too young to remember the exact location of the Black Mountain tribe.

Just as Hu Shen was about to send Ying Jie to investigate, Xiao Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

What are you doing here?

Su Tang turned around and saw Xiao Fu blocking the courtyard gate, with Mao Jiu and several male cats on the other side.

Feeling Su Tang's gaze, Mao Jiu immediately felt a little scared and hid back, saying something he found difficult to say.

"I...I've come to find Atang."

Ever since she witnessed Su Tang drugging the insectoids in the insectoid tribe, she knew that thousands of insectoid beastmen in the tribe had died at Su Tang's hands.

She was terrified of Su Tang and avoided her at all costs, let alone causing her any trouble.

Back in the Gray Wolf tribe, she had nightmares for two days. After much hesitation, she told the other tribespeople the reason why the Black Mountain tribe had been attacked.

Cat Nine had a premonition that a ruthless female like Su Tang would definitely not let the Earth Dragon Beastmen go unchecked.

That's why she quickly brought her people here to curry favor, lest she be the one to die next time.

"Did you need something from me?" Su Tang came up behind Xiao Fu and looked at Mao Jiu, who had his head down, and asked.

Upon hearing Su Tang's voice, Mao Jiu instinctively shrank back.

Hesitantly, he began, "A-Tang, if you want to go back to the Black Mountain tribe, we can help you..."

As she spoke, she cautiously raised her eyelids to secretly observe Su Tang's reaction.

Su Tang raised an eyebrow. When did Mao Jiu become so nice?

Seeing that Su Tang remained silent, Mao Jiu immediately became nervous.

Does this mean Ah Tang is already planning to kill her and not give her a chance?

She quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that the Earth Dragon Beastmen killed our people, and we want revenge..."

The cat-like beastmen behind Mao Jiu nodded in agreement.

"A-Tang, if you want to go back to the Black Mountain Tribe for revenge, you must take us with you!"

"Yes, although we are not strong enough, every orc we have increases our chances of winning."

"My father and mother were both killed by the Earth Dragon Beastmen. Even if I die this time, I will take a few Earth Dragon Beastmen with me!"

They had no idea what the cat was really thinking.

His face was filled with hatred for the earth dragon beastmen as he spoke.

They didn't have the ability before, but now that they have the opportunity, they are determined to go back and take revenge.

Hearing this, Su Tang began to look at Mao Jiu in a different light.

Unexpectedly, this female turned out to be a woman of genuine character.
