Chapter 383: The Conditions of the Teng Tribe

Qie Ye, under the leadership of Shi Qiu, walked all the way to the center of the Teng Tribe’s residential area and saw the unimaginably huge divine vine.

When he saw the sacred vine, he couldn't help but imagine: If he kept climbing along this vine, would he be able to climb to the clouds? What would the scenery be like above the clouds?

"Qie Ye, what are you doing there? Come here quickly."

Just then, Jiang Xuan appeared and greeted him warmly.

"Xuan... Leader Xuan."

Qie Ye turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan. When he saw the seven-color warrior pattern on Jiang Xuan's face, and thought of the fact that he had lost the power of the totem, he suddenly felt a little inferior and lowered his head slightly.

"I just prepared dinner in my room. You've made it in time. Come on, let's eat together."

Jiang Xuan, with a smile on his face, pulled the dazed Qie Ye towards his wooden house, and asked Shi Qiu to entertain the five warriors brought by Qie Ye.

After entering the wooden house, Qie Ye looked at the wooden tables and chairs he had never seen before, the exquisite pottery and bronze wares, and the steaming broth bubbling in the big iron pot. For a moment, he felt at a loss.

"sit down."

Jiang Xuan pushed Qie Ye onto the chair, then filled a large ceramic bowl with red rice mixed with round potatoes, and considerately gave him a wooden spoon.

Because chopsticks are a tool that cannot be mastered without a period of training, if people from other tribes were asked to use chopsticks, it would probably not be as fast as using their hands.

"You must be hungry after walking such a long way. Come on, don't be polite and eat more."

Jiang Xuan used a large spoon to scoop up a full spoonful of animal meat with soup and spread it on a ceramic bowl with cut leaves. The rich aroma of the meat immediately made people drool.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of cutting leaves, Jiang Xuan used a wooden spoon himself and started eating first.

"Thank you, Chief Xuan."

Qie Ye was indeed very hungry, and the broth stewed by Jiang Xuan was too tempting. He swallowed his saliva, and then couldn't help but imitate Jiang Xuan, using a spoon to scoop the beast meat and red crystal rice into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, Qie Ye's eyes widened, because there was salt in the broth, and the meat was stewed to perfection, not fishy or woody, and tasted much better than any broth he had ever eaten before.

The strong feeling of hunger in his stomach and the deliciousness he had never experienced before made him unable to speak. He just shoveled rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls and even shed tears while eating.

Jiang Xuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Is the rice I cooked not to your taste?"

Qie Ye quickly shook his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with tears in his eyes: "I just thought that the people in our ant tribe are hungry every day, while I am eating such good food here."

Jiang Xuan reached out and patted his shoulder, but didn't know what to say.

Because of the information about the thorn vine, Jiang Xuan knew clearly how difficult life was for Qie Ye and others after they left the Red Ant Tribe, and he could naturally understand Qie Ye's feelings.

But this is a primitive continent where competition is fierce and survival is difficult. There are too many miserable tribes and pitiful tourists.

Jiang Xuan is not a saint, nor does he have the ability to be a saint. The only thing he can do is to take good care of the Teng tribe and help the subordinate tribes when he is able.

As for other tribes and those tourists, Jiang Xuan could only wish them good luck.

The two people, each with their own thoughts, finished the meal in silence. After filling their stomachs, they finally started to talk about business.

Qie Ye watched Jiang Xuan pack up his things, organized his words for a moment, and finally said, "Chief Xuan, actually, I came here this time to ask for your help with something."

Jiang Xuan put away the clean dishes, wiped his wet hands, and said, "You're welcome. If you have any questions, just tell me. We are old friends. I will do my best to help you if I can."

Qie Ye said, "I heard that your Teng tribe trades a lot of goods every day, and often gives some unfinished things to tourists to do and pay them. Is that true?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Qie Ye in surprise and said, "It's true, what's wrong?"

Qie Ye mustered up his courage and said, "Chief Xuan, our ant tribe has now escaped from the man-eating red ant god. We are in urgent need of a place to live, and our people also need a stable source of food."

"So, I would like to ask Chief Xuan to let our people live in the forest near the Teng Tribe and give us all the unfinished work!"

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Your tribe should have quite a few people, right? The amount of goods processed by our Teng tribe cannot support many people."

"In addition, there are so many people from the Ant Tribe living near our Vine Tribe. If there is a conflict with our Vine Tribe members in the future, it is likely to directly threaten the safety of our Vine Tribe."

Qie Ye is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.

When he finished listening to Jiang Xuan's words, he suddenly realized how naive his thoughts were and how he had thought things were too simple.

Yes, these two things are of no benefit to the Vine Tribe. Why should they help the members of the Ant Tribe and increase risks for themselves?

As the leader of the tribe, Jiang Xuan must first consider the interests of the tribe rather than personal relationships.

What's more, the two of them had never shared hardships together, nor had they lived together for a long time, and even their personal friendship could not be considered deep.

Qie Ye was silent. Was he going to return empty-handed this time? How would he face those tribesmen who were full of expectations? At this moment, Jiang Xuan said slowly, "In fact, there is another solution that can meet your two requirements just now. I just don't know if your ant tribe is willing to do it."

Qie Ye's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "What method?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Xuan looked at Qie Ye and said seriously: "Become a subsidiary tribe of the Teng Tribe!"

"As long as you are willing to become a subordinate tribe of the Teng Tribe, the Teng Tribe is willing to allocate a forest near the territory for you to live in, and will process the goods that should have been given to tourists and let you do it, using food and other kinds of materials as compensation."

"The Teng Tribe even taught you some planting and breeding techniques so that you can have more food sources in the future. When necessary, they can also provide you with a certain amount of shelter to prevent you from being attacked by other tribes and tourists."

"Of course, as a subordinate tribe, when the Teng tribe needs to fight an external war or encounter other problems, you must also contribute unconditionally. Otherwise, you will be regarded as a traitor to the Teng tribe and will be severely punished."

"this……"

After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Qie Ye suddenly felt a heavy pressure, because this kind of thing was not something he could decide at all.

Jiang Xuan patted Qie Ye's shoulder and said, "This is just a suggestion. It's up to your ant tribe to decide what to choose. Go back and discuss it with your tribe members."

"By the way, you just said that your people are starving. There are six of you in total. When you go back, each of you should carry a bag of food. Think of it as a gift from the Teng tribe so that your trip won't be in vain."

Qie Ye said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Chief Xuan. I will discuss it with my tribesmen when I go back and give you a reply as soon as possible."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, I look forward to your good news."

Qie Ye stood up and prepared to leave. Jiang Xuan called Shi Qiu and asked him to go to the grain warehouse and move a bag of grain to each of Qie Ye and others.

Before leaving, Jiang Xuan secretly gave Qie Ye a small can of salt and asked him to keep it close to his body so that he could eat some salt to replenish his strength when necessary. This touched Qie Ye deeply.

Soon, Qie Ye and the five warriors left the Teng tribe, carrying food and going into the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Under the vine wall, Shi Qiu asked in confusion: "Chief, why did you send them so much food?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Although they left the Red Ant Tribe, they are still gathered together now. The population is larger than that of a medium-sized tribe. Even without a totem god, they are still a considerable force."

"Our foundation in the central region is not very solid yet. More friends are always better than more enemies. Sending a few bags of food can gain the favor of the Ant Tribe and may even bring us a new subordinate tribe. This deal is a win-win no matter how you calculate it."

Shi Qiu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. The leader has considered everything. I am too stingy."

Jiang Xuan laughed, took Shi Qiu on a patrol outside, and then returned to the living area inside the vine wall.

Thanks to the leader "閒看苑" for the reward of 500 book coins.
