With Lizze there, Yuan Jing and his party followed him smoothly into the tribe, which was a temporary resting place allocated by the Lion Tribe to the Lizard Tribe. There they met Lizze's companions as well as the priest and the tribe leader. For such a large-scale event, the main personnel of the tribe would be dispatched.
Because such a Beast God Festival is not only a sacrificial activity held by priests to worship the Beast God, but also an important place for communication among tribes. They will trade here and show their muscles to other tribes. Sometimes when there are conflicts between two tribes, they will also be resolved on such occasions.
Yuan Jing thought that they would definitely be able to see Xiong An Ning and his little attackers here.
On the way into the tribe, Xiaolong, the ferocious beast, attracted a lot of onlookers, but they were not prohibited from entering. After all, other orcs had also tamed fierce beasts, and being able to tame ferocious beasts was also a proof of the orcs' strength, so these people came forward to greet Lize, trying to find out the identity of Yuan Jing and his party from him.
Lizard Ze said truthfully: "They are my friends. They came out from the Stegosaurus Tribe to travel. They happened to run into our Beast God Festival, so they came to watch."
"Stegosaurus Tribe? Which tribe is that? I've never heard of this tribe. Is there another large tribe that we don't know about?" The orcs who came to gather information did not dare to underestimate these people. Not to mention the ferocious beast Xiaolong, even the orcs like Xiong Gu exuded a fierce aura. They were most likely mid-level totem warriors. Only large tribes have the strength to train such young mid-level totem warriors.
Lizze's eyes flickered. If he told them where the Stegosaurus tribe came from, they would definitely not believe him. He smiled and said, "It's a tribe far away. My tribesmen and I were attacked by people from other tribes last time. They happened to show up and save me. So they are honored guests of my Lizard Tribe. I don't know the situation of the Stegosaurus tribe. I will definitely visit them when I have time."
"I see."
When they returned to the Lizard Tribe's resting place, Lizard Ze had sent away several groups of people. Xiong Gu and the others were deeply moved. The interpersonal relationships outside were much more complicated than those in their Stegosaurus Tribe. It would be better for the Stegosaurus Tribe not to come out now, otherwise they would be no match for these people outside.
Seeing them coming, the lizard tribe's chief and priests were very happy and entertained them warmly. Then they were shocked to find that their strength had increased. Lizze also asked Hu Luo where they had been during this period of time and how they had been promoted to the next level in such a short time. Even Hu Luo had become a mid-level totem warrior, but Lizze was still at the beginner level.
In fact, it is normal for him to remain at the beginner level at his age. As long as he grows step by step, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the intermediate level. As for whether he can become a high-level totem warrior, that depends on luck.
Hu Luo said proudly: "After we left the Lizard Tribe, we went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. We came here right after we came out from there. Fortunately, we made it in time."
Lizhe looked at Huluo and the others with admiration: "Could it be that you got the divine fruit in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range?"
Apart from the divine fruit, he couldn't think of any other way to make these people so much stronger in such a short period of time.
Hu Luo shook his head: "I didn't get the divine fruit, but I hunted a lot of fierce beasts and got a lot of beast cores."
"But... using beast cores to practice is very risky, and it's impossible to improve so quickly."
Hu Luo pulled Xi Ze aside and whispered, "Let me tell you, this is our secret. No, it's the secret of the Jianlong tribe. They have mastered a secret recipe and prepared a liquid medicine. After soaking the beast core, the beast core can be used for cultivation. I have even eaten several intermediate beast cores, otherwise how could I have broken through so quickly."
Lizawa was extremely shocked: "Really? But can you tell me such a secret thing?"
Hu Luo was very proud: "Of course it wasn't my own decision. Do you think I'm so stupid? No matter how good our relationship is, I would never tell you such a secret."
Lizhe was upset. Hu Luo had turned evil. But when he thought about it, it made sense. Without the consent of the members of the Stegosaurus tribe, Hu Luo would not reveal such a big secret. His mind worked quickly. "They asked you to tell me this secret. Does that mean..."
Lizhe became excited and looked at Hu Luo eagerly. Hu Luo nodded to him, indicating that was what he meant. Then he stuffed an intermediate beast core into his hand. In fact, this beast core made Hu Luo's heart bleed. One intermediate beast core could be exchanged for ten primary beast cores, but he just gave it away for free.
But this was what Yuan Jing taught him to do. Yuan Jing wanted to form an alliance with the Lizard Tribe, and then trade the purified beast cores with the Lizard Tribe. They could trade beast cores or divine fruits, it all depended on the Lizard Tribe's own intentions.
Lizhe looked down and sensed it carefully. Sure enough, the aura it emitted was different from that of other beast cores. He had the urge to swallow this beast core, and his heart was pounding with excitement. "Can I tell the priest and the clan leader?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you so that you could go back and tell them?"
"Okay, wait."
Lizhe didn't care what Hu Li's intention was, and hurriedly took the beast core to have a secret talk with the tribe leader and the priest. After completing the task, Hu Li came back and nodded to Yuan Jingzhi.
Yuan Jing smiled. Trading and forming an alliance with a medium-sized tribe like the Lizard Tribe was much more advantageous than with other large tribes. When those large tribes, including medium-sized tribes like the Tiger Tribe, knew that he had such a purifying liquid, their first thought would be to take it for themselves and snatch it forcibly, rather than engaging in legitimate transactions.
But the Lizard Tribe is different. Their ancestors lived behind the swamp and were unwilling to move easily. Now they are also facing difficulties. She Rui has set his eyes on their habitat. If there is no external interference, Yuan Jing feels that the Lizard Tribe may not be a match for She Rui and his men. In the end, that place will definitely fall into She Rui's hands. The Lizard Tribe may have to fall from a medium-sized tribe to a small tribe and struggle to survive.
So at this time, the gift sent by their Stegosaurus tribe will definitely make the patriarch and priests of the Lizard tribe very happy. They don't want to be enemies with the Stegosaurus tribe, add an opponent for themselves, and then be attacked from all sides, so they prefer to choose to form an alliance.
As for Xiong Gu and others, of course they followed whatever the leader said. Moreover, the leader explained every detail to them, which benefited them a lot. Although they found it troublesome, they would inevitably come out and contact these medium and large tribes in the future, so they took note of his words carefully.
I may not understand it very well now, but one day I will understand it and use it in the future. Besides, it is not difficult to deal with people in the Lizard Tribe.
Lizze met the chief and the priest alone, and drove everyone else out, then took out the beast core and placed it in front of them.
“Intermediate beast core? Just to show you the intermediate beast core?” the clan leader asked in confusion.
"No," the priest reacted faster, or rather, he was more sensitive to the smell. He immediately noticed the difference in this beast core and grabbed it from the table. "This beast core does not have any dangerous smell. It will not bring any bad effects if used for cultivation. Lizard, tell me where you got this beast core from?"
The priest was excited. If they could get more beast cores like this, the Lizard Tribe would be stronger. They might even be able to train their own high-level totem warriors and upgrade the tribe to a large tribe. In addition to population, a more important factor for a large tribe is whether it has high-level totem warriors.
"Really?" The clan leader finally came to his senses and looked at Lizard with sharp eyes.
Lizhe resisted the pressure from their gazes and explained, "This was given to me by Hu Li. They said they were from the Jianlong Tribe. After leaving our tribe, they have been practicing in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Priest, what do you think the Jianlong Tribe's intention was in giving me this beast core?"
The priest stood up and shouted, "Quick, please invite Bao Yuanjing over. The Jianlong tribe may want to make a deal with our tribe. Can't you see such an obvious thing? You are so stupid. Please come over quickly."
"You won't invite anyone else?"
"Just ask Bao Yuanjing to come over first. He can definitely make the decision on this matter. Don't worry about anything else." This silly boy, did he think Bao Yuanjing was an ordinary sub-human?
Li Ze ran out quickly to ask for help, only then he realized that Hu Li was actually playing a trick on him, but it was a good trick. He was so excited because he knew the value of the beast core. He had no time to think about other things and wanted to let the chief and the priest take a look.
As soon as Lizze left, the priest could not help but kneel down to worship the Beast God, and the tribe leader followed him. They all believed that this was a great opportunity given to them by the Beast God and they must seize it and not miss it. Whether the tribe could survive this crisis might depend on this.
"The Beast God really does bless our Lizard Tribe!"
When Yuan Jing followed Li Ze over, the clan leader and the priest were already sitting beside the table with serious expressions. However, Xiong Feng was also with Yuan Jing, and the clan leader and the priest did not have any objection at all.
When they arrived, the priest immediately stood up to greet them: "Bao Yuanjing, Xiong Feng, welcome, please take a seat."
"Thank you, priest and clan leader." Yuan Jing led Xiong Feng inside and sat opposite the clan leader and priest.
The priest poured Yuan Jing a fruit drink. There was wine in the tribe, but after having a drink from the priest of the Lizard Tribe last time, Yuan Jing never wanted to drink it again. The taste was indescribable.
Lizhe sat aside and watched, because he was an insider and was not driven out by the clan leader and the priest.
Seeing Yuan Jing drink some juice, the priest couldn't wait to get straight to the point and asked, "Leopard Yuan Jing gave us this beast core. What do you want us to do?"
Although the patriarch looked anxious, he did not interrupt and left the negotiation entirely to the priest because he knew that his brain was not as flexible as the priest's.
Yuan Jing smiled: "It's obvious that they want to form an alliance with the Lizard Tribe. As the leader of the Stegosaurus Tribe, I came here hoping to form an alliance with the Lizard Swamp Tribe so that we can help each other and overcome difficulties in the future."
"Leader?!" Lize screamed. A demihuman is the leader of the tribe? Shouldn't he be a priest?
Xiong Feng glared at him and said unhappily: "The Jianlong Tribe was established by Yuan Yuan. Without Yuan Yuan, there would be no Jianlong Tribe."
The priest looked at Yuan Jing with appreciation and said, "So you are the leader of the Sword Dragon Tribe. I believe that Chief Leopard has such skills and abilities. You are better than me. If we are just forming an alliance, I don't know about this beast core..."
Yuan Jing said with a profiteer's look, "If it's an outsider, ten beast cores of the same level can be exchanged for one like this. But if the Lizard Tribe is our ally, how about five for one? Of course, we can also exchange it with spiritual fruits, three beast cores for one spiritual fruit."
The priest and the clan leader looked at each other and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's form an alliance."
Just for the sake of these beast cores, this alliance must be formed. They urgently need these beast cores to help the orc warriors in the tribe improve their strength.
Each medium to large tribe has existed for a very long time, so the tribe will accumulate a certain amount of property. Beast cores cannot be used for cultivation without restraint, so medium to large tribes will have a certain amount of reserves. The same is true for the Lizard Tribe, so they can immediately take out a batch of beast cores, even high-level beast cores.
"Send someone back to the tribe immediately to escort a batch of beast cores over!" the priest said decisively, and the patriarch also agreed.
Yuan Jing stayed and discussed the specific agreements of the alliance with them. They talked for quite some time, and then put it into written text. Yuan Jing had also learned some from the priests in the Lizard Tribe before. This contract was written in two languages, one was the current language of the Orc Continent, and the other was the language of the Stegosaurus Tribe, which was taught to everyone by Yuan Jing. Finally, this contract was established under the witness of the Beast God.
After the alliance was formed, the priest and the clan leader warmly invited everyone in the Stegosaurus tribe to a big meal. Of course, the cubs Hu Luo and Hu Feng also participated. He had consciously regarded himself as a member of the Stegosaurus tribe.
Inside the Lion Tribe, in one of the best buildings, several orcs were talking around a sub-human. A person from the Snake Tribe came to ask to see their chief. The current chief of the Snake Tribe was She Rui. Of course, this group of snakes were just the ones that came from the other side of the long river.
"Come in." She Rui looked at the newcomer unhappily, hoping that he had something important to report.
The orcs who came in quickly reported: "There is movement in the Lizard Tribe that the chief asked us to keep an eye on. They have entertained a group of outsiders. It is said that they are from a tribe called the Sword Dragon Tribe. The people of this tribe brought a mid-level fierce beast with them. The beast is very tame."
"Stegosaurus Tribe? Are you sure? Is it really called the Stegosaurus Tribe?" Xiong Anning knocked the cup in his hand to the ground and screamed in disbelief.
"Stegosaurus Tribe? Are Leopard Yuanjing and the others coming?" Hu Li said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"What kind of tribe is the Stegosaurus Tribe? I've never heard of such a tribe name, how do you all know it?" Shiyang, Langtian and Hujin didn't understand the reactions of these people. It seemed that something was hidden from them. The three orcs looked at Huli and Sherui, demanding that they explain it clearly. As for Xiong Anning, he was a sub-human who needed their protection.
She Rui frowned and looked at Hu Li: "Tell me, the leader of the Jianlong tribe came from your Mangrove Tribe. By the way, this sub-human was once the one you, Hu Li, were going to form a bond with."
It has been many years since he left that continent, and She Rui seldom thought about those things back then. But now the four words "Stegosaurus Tribe" evoked his past memories. He remembered the eyes of the demi-human he saw on the back of the stegosaurus, which were so sharp and cold. Even after coming to this continent, he had never seen such a demi-human again.
Hu Li glared at She Rui unhappily: "You also said that she was the one you were planning to form a bond with, but after having An Ning, you no longer have such thoughts. Even you, She Rui, had several sub-humans in the Snake Tribe before, and nothing happened between me and Bao Yuanjing."
Hu Jin watched the two orcs fighting with interest. He raised his eyebrows at Xiong An Ning, and Xiong An Ning's face turned red. However, when they mentioned that this sub-human leopard Yuan Jing was actually the leader of a tribe, Hu Jin wanted to meet him.
Shi Yang had a face as handsome as the sun god. He stopped the two men and said, "What are you doing? We want to know the situation of the Stegosaurus Tribe. Since this is where you originally lived, is there anything worth noting about this Stegosaurus Tribe?"
Shi Yang was very proud. He was an orc born in the large Lion Tribe. If it weren't for Hu Li and She Rui who came out of the backward areas with Xiong An Ning and accompanied Xiong An Ning through the difficulties in the early days, he would definitely not want to see them appear around Xiong An Ning.
At the beginning, these two people were not even totem warriors, and they didn't even know how to become totem warriors. How could he look down on them and that backward continent?
Hu Li and She Rui were very annoyed, but they were in a disadvantageous situation. They knew they could only suppress their anger temporarily. Hu Li said, "When we left that continent, Xiong Gu of the Jianlong tribe was already a totem warrior, and he also had three fierce beasts to protect the tribe. Didn't She Rui's tribe say that a fierce beast came? It must be a mid-level fierce beast, right? Shi Yang, can you control a mid-level fierce beast?"
Can he? No! But Shiyang didn't want to show weakness in front of the orcs he looked down upon.
Xiong Anning bit her lip and said, "That Bao Yuanjing, I have wondered before if he has any way to drive the beasts? Otherwise, how can a subhuman like him make the beasts listen to him?"
Xiong Anning once thought that he would hear the names of Bao Yuanjing and others again after he returned to that continent. He didn't expect it to happen so soon, and he brought people here too. But now this is his home court, and Bao Yuanjing can't do anything to them anymore.
That dinosaur has become a mid-level beast? Xiong Anning was still excited. Although his physical fitness has improved a lot, he still can't compare with the orcs. He was annoyed that the priests only knew how to dig things from him. He wanted to learn the skills of the priests, but no one taught him.
He wanted to learn the skills of the priests, which would make his skin better, keep his youthful appearance, and prolong his life. Otherwise, while Shi Yang and the others still maintained their youthful appearance, he would have aged before them. How could Xiong An Ning be willing to accept this?
But even Shi Yang and his men couldn't make those old guys obey.
"Is he a priest? But isn't he the chief?" Fox Gold said with a wink, now even more interested.
