"I think you all know what the Turtle Tribe has done this year. They spread the plague and poisoned many orcs, turning them into beastmen who attacked their own families. Two tribes were wiped out," Huo Qiu said, looking at the people below.

"I heard that the Tiger Clan is researching this drug. I'd like to know how the Tiger Clan found out about this? Why did you only tell us later?" someone asked as they looked at Huo Qiu.

“We spread the news as soon as we received it, but you didn’t believe us. Even now, many of you still have doubts in your hearts about whether what we, the Tiger Clan, said is true or not. Am I wrong?” Huo Qiu said. Upon hearing this, several leaders not far away fell silent.

Just as Huo Qiu said, they had doubts, not only doubts but also distrust of the matter. They just didn't expect Huo Qiu to point it out at this moment.

"Then... what are your Tiger Clan's plans? You have the Holy Maiden's help, but we don't... do you want to join forces with us to deal with the Turtle Clan? Are you trying to use us as pawns?" the tribal chief said, looking at Huo Qiu.

The fear is that the Tiger Clan will eventually abandon them. The Tiger Clan has Haitang, so they have great medical skills and are almost immune to poisons, but the problem is that they can't do anything about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu couldn't help but frown. "Then what do you think I should do to show my sincerity?" Huo Qiu asked, looking at the people below.

Haitang could hear the anger in Huoqiu's tone. Haitang glanced at Huoqiu but didn't say anything. The surrounding leaders looked at Haitang when they heard this.

"We must invite the Holy Maiden to live with us. I don't need it for too long, about a year should be enough." Yes, about a year should be enough. By then, we can go and extract all the knowledge from Haitang.

“Yes, we do the same. This shows our sincerity.” Many leaders spoke up, but Huo Qiu’s gaze was cold and ruthless as he looked at the people below.

At this moment, the people who were talking excitedly suddenly became nervous when they looked at Huo Qiu. Huo Qiu looked at these people coldly, with a hint of chill in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? Or do you think we absolutely have to ask you for help? Don't forget... it's you who are afraid and that's why you're seeking help from the Tiger Clan, not that we have to join forces with you." He said, looking at Hill in front of him.

Huo Qiu wasn't stupid. Letting Haitang stay there was risky; who knew what kind of bad intentions these people might have? These people were different from Shi Tian and the others. Shi Tian and Bao Yang were both intelligent people.

When working with smart people, many things are very appealing, but working with unsmart people is a real headache. These people wear their thoughts on their sleeves, making it difficult for Dongfang Long not to notice.

Given the blatant motives of these people under such circumstances, it's not impossible that they might imprison or even harm Haitang next. Greed can completely cloud their judgment.

Although their admiration for Haitang is genuine, their laziness makes them prone to doing bad things, and right now, these bad things are obviously aimed at Haitang.

Huo Qiu's bluntness made the leaders uncomfortable. Haitang remained silent, watching the discussion eventually disperse. Shitian, sitting down, took a sip of tea and looked at Huo Qiu.

"Those people are all thinking that once Haitang goes to their tribe, they'll find a way to trap her there so she can work for them. It's all a clever scheme," Lion Sky said, looking at Haitang.

Leopard Yang didn't speak, but he roughly understood what those people were thinking. "What are you planning to do next? Are you really not going to let those people join in and help?"

"What about the withered leaf fish? Those people came to beg us, not the other way around," Huo Qiu said. "There are things and matters that cannot be compromised." Yes, there are things and matters that cannot be compromised.

Upon hearing this, Lion Sky nodded. "By the way, how's the progress on the medicine? Our tribe caught a suspicious person a few days ago. Although the person said he wasn't from the Turtle Clan, it's still strange..."

In this situation, all we can do is hope that the medicine in Haitang's hands can be developed quickly. "Wait a few days, do you think this is a vegetable? Even growing vegetables takes time." Developing a medicine is the most time-consuming process.

What needs to be done during this time-consuming period is to try to shorten it. Haitang has already been working hard on this. Hearing this, Shitian and the others nodded. "By the way, where did Dongfang Long go?"

Dongfang Long has come several times but hasn't been seen. Could something have happened to him? Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at Shi Tiandao and said, "I have some things to take care of."

Haitang didn't say what Dongfanglong was dealing with. Shitian and the others didn't ask either. When they left the room, everyone looked up at the sky.

Snow was falling from the sky. As Haitang stretched out her hand and watched the snowflakes fall into her palm, she felt a little worried. She wondered if Dongfang Long had started to take action these days.

Last time, news came from Pengshan that Dongfanglong would be making moves this winter. Although I know that Dongfanglong is always careful in his actions, I can't help but worry that something might happen to him.
