A hissing sound rang in my ears, and the whole world was like a giant furnace, where water poured on the ground would be evaporated clean by the steam in an instant.

To put it simply, it was as if meat falling on the ground could be roasted alive, causing everyone to tremble. In every place, many people were in this situation, and everyone was terrified.

What could be said? Everyone looked unwell; the scorching heat of the ground was causing everyone great pain, and in many tribes, food was almost completely gone.

When many tribes ran out of food, it became a living hell. This kind of hell almost always happened to human races. Of course, human races are not stupid, and they began to fight back.

Humans are planning to flee, and many races are fleeing in this wilderness. "Where can we go?" Yes, where can we go? Wild animals are becoming increasingly powerful, and survival in the wild is possible.

But could they survive without food? Some people were filled with despair. Hearing this, a man sitting not far away appeared. The man exuded a fierce aura and held a stone knife in his hand, which he began to sharpen.

"Hey, Hu Qi, say something!" These people were from the Flower Tiger clan, and each of them wore a look of ferocity and despair. "How about we join the Human Race Rebellion?"

"Do you know how to get there?" Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. A few years ago, there were many human rebels, but now it seems that after they joined forces with the people on the side of the Holy Land, they no longer had any activities in this area near the outskirts.

In this situation, everyone sat there in despair. "What can we do?" They ate leaves, they ate bark, but what could they do? They couldn't survive.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Hu Qi, looking around, said, "I want to go check out the coal mine up ahead." Everyone was stunned. "But we need to be careful not to get spotted by the orcs, or we'll become food."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. "What good would it do us to go to this coal mine? It would all be the same anyway," someone said.

“It’s good to see the results,” Hu Qi said. “I heard from others that the Tiger Clan is doing very well.”

"You know it's just hearsay, and there's no way that beastmen would be kind to humans. Even if there were, they would only be used and then become food anyway," the Flower Tiger clan compensated the Lion and Leopard tribes with a lot of meat.

In such a drought, very few survived; the entire human race suffered terribly. Hearing this, Hu Qi looked at the people before him. "I'll go alone. If I don't return by nightfall, you may leave on your own."

Upon hearing this, the people of the tribe remained silent. Hu Qi went to the coal mining area of ​​the Tiger Clan. On his way there, he became a little nervous. He didn't know how to put it; he was just very nervous. He knew in his heart that he might not return.

If he didn't go, the fifty-odd people he brought with him would all die silently. He could try going to the Tiger Tribe; he had heard a lot about it. Besides, the reason he was able to escape was because of his father.

The other person informed him at night that the Flower Tiger tribe was about to be captured because food was running out. He was scared and ran away, but his father told him that he could go to the Tiger tribe.

Now he realized that he couldn't go alone at all, so the only option was to go to the coal mine and take the females to find food. The females followed him obediently.

"The leaves have all withered, is there anything left to eat?" The mountains used to be lush and green, but now they are all withered, there is nothing to eat, and many fruits have rotted.

"Of course there is, there is food," Haitang said, understanding. She led the group to dig up some sweet potatoes. The females were immediately delighted when they saw them; they had dug up quite a lot today.

Suddenly hearing a commotion, the surrounding tiger-beastmen immediately turned fierce. "Come out!" Only with the tiger-beastmen following her did the female dare to enter the forest, and there were three of them at that.

Haitang touched the weapon hanging at her waist and looked at the person who appeared not far away. It was Hu Qi. "Um... don't be angry, I... I'm here to ask for help, no... I'm selling myself. I want your Tiger Clan tribe to take me in as a slave," he said, looking at Haitang.

Hearing this, Haitang was slightly taken aback. Hu Qi saw from a distance that Haitang was the leader here. Although he didn't know why a woman was leading, he didn't care... He still knelt down.

"Are you a member of the Tiger Clan? Did you run away from the Flower Tiger Clan?" Haitang looked at the emaciated man in front of her. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pale face and a thin frame. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten for many days.

Her eyes held a mixture of fear and a desperate determination as Haitang looked at the other person and asked, "Why do you think our Tiger Clan tribe would take you in?"

“We can work. My father has been to the Tiger Tribe, and I know they desperately need manpower. We're all very quick and easy,” Hu Qi said, looking at Haitang. “I… I can eat very little and do a lot. One meal every two days is fine,”

When Haitang looked at Hu Qi, she could sense his humility. Haitang was wary of people who came to sell themselves. To be honest, if she took him back, she would think that he was an enemy spy.

This is a blow to the Tiger Clan tribe, and the coal mine is similar. Although it's just one race, Haitang can't forget one thing.
