Chapter 2719: These human tribes are all clingy

The old man and the youth didn't treat this meal as anything special; their thoughts were simple: first hold off, wait to see what Ye Zhangqing and them are up to before saying more.

First ensure their own safety, then think of a way to escape.

Hearing the old man's words, although the youth still gritted his teeth in anger at the elder clan chief's earlier attitude, he didn't say anything more.

The old man is right; given the current situation, they grandfather and grandson have no choice but to lower their heads.

Those good-for-nothings of the Fire Spirit Tribe are unreliable.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Fire Spirit Tribe members who have been detained and are being guarded by the Flame Martial Tribe's people all look listless.

You say, how could this matter have developed to such a point?

From the start, the young clan chief Huoming planned to take action against Qi Wu, leading people in a pursuit to kill, but in the end he didn't even manage to kill him.

He even got them to ally with the tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest.

Finally, even the Scale Stone Tribe defected to the Flame Martial Tribe, leaving their Fire Spirit Tribe isolated and having to face the Flame Martial Tribe's retaliation.

Afterwards, with no other option, the clan chief could only contact the Iron Peak Tribe; fortunately, the Iron Peak Tribe didn't just stand by, but sent people to step in and prepare to mediate this matter.

What's unexpected is that the Flame Martial Tribe's gall is truly huge.

Bringing the Black Mist Forest along, they didn't even give the Iron Peak Tribe any face, directly detaining the old man and youth who had come from the Iron Peak Tribe.

It's practically a grave offense— that's the Iron Peak Tribe, where does the Flame Martial Tribe get such gall?

It's hard to fathom, but now their entire tribe has become prisoners; the urgent priority now is naturally to find a way to preserve themselves.

If they can't even protect themselves, what else is there to think about?

At this moment, Huoming and his son, together with several elders of the Fire Spirit Tribe, were sitting in a corner.

Everyone's faces were grim to the extreme; although they kept some composure on the surface and didn't speak openly, several elders clearly harbored resentment toward Huoming and his son.

Given the tribe's predicament, they father and son are hard to absolve of blame.

"Why are you all looking at me with that kind of gaze?"

Facing the complex gazes of the several elders, the Fire Spirit Tribe chief gritted his teeth and said irritably.

Upon hearing that, the several elders all fell into silence, offering no reply.

Faced with this silent response, the Fire Spirit Tribe chief felt his teeth itch with anger, yet he couldn't say anything.

"Chief, the Flame Martial Tribe's people are now lawless; not only us, even the Iron Peak Tribe's people dare to act against them—we need to be careful and prepare early."

After a long silence, finally one elder spoke up.

His concern is hardly unfounded; the Flame Martial Tribe's people dare to act against the Iron Peak Tribe, and if they truly harbored murderous intent, killing them would be effortless.

Before, perhaps the Fire Spirit Tribe's people still thought that, before the final showdown, with both sides truly at odds, the Flame Martial Tribe wouldn't dare to kill.

But now, several elders no longer think that way; the main issue still lies with the Iron Peak Tribe.

They don't even care about the Iron Peak Tribe; messing with a few Fire Spirit Tribe people is trivial for them.

Even wiping out the entire Fire Spirit Tribe now seems not impossible.

That's why several elders are worried—they fear this bunch of madmen might suddenly develop a killing intent.

However, upon hearing this, Huoming coldly spoke up.

"You elders are overthinking; I actually think the Flame Martial Tribe is now seeking its own death."

"They dare to offend even the Iron Peak Tribe; when the Iron Peak Tribe's people arrive, I'll see how the Flame Martial Tribe explains itself."

"Originally we still had to be careful dealing with the Flame Martial Tribe's retaliation, but now the Flame Martial Tribe is courting its own demise; this is no longer our Fire Spirit Tribe's concern—the Iron Peak Tribe won't let them off either."

"We just need to stand by and watch the show; even the conditions we previously agreed to might not be needed."

To get the Iron Peak Tribe to act, the Fire Spirit Tribe must have paid some price; otherwise, how would the other side have agreed?

Although these costs aren't enough to make the Fire Spirit Tribe unable to bear them, thinking about them still suffices to cause heartache for a while.

However, now the Flame Martial Tribe remains arrogant, directly offending the Iron Peak Tribe to death.

Now this is no longer a matter between the Fire Spirit Tribe and the Flame Martial Tribe, but a grudge between the Iron Peak Tribe and the Flame Martial Tribe.

Even if the Fire Spirit Tribe does nothing, the Iron Peak Tribe would likely not let the Flame Martial Tribe off.

For the Fire Spirit Tribe, all they need to consider now is how to survive steadily.

Afterwards, things will naturally be handled by the Iron Peak Tribe.

Huoming just didn't believe it; with the Flame Martial Tribe so arrogant, the Iron Peak Tribe would certainly not spare them—absolutely impossible.

Upon hearing this, the several elders present didn't refute; the fact is indeed so, but that also has to wait until the Iron Peak Tribe's people arrive before being said.

"For now, let's be honest; a hero doesn't suffer immediate loss, temporarily yielding is nothing."

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Tribe chief also spoke up.

He can bend and stretch; as long as he can survive, temporarily yielding is no big deal.

Upon hearing that, although the several elders still harbored resentment in their hearts, they silently nodded, indicating agreement.

At this point, what else can be done?

The Fire Spirit Tribe has already made up its mind: first prioritize survival, then watch how the Flame Martial Tribe dies.

Do they really think that subduing those tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest makes them lawless? Ridiculous.

Unaware of the Fire Spirit Tribe's thoughts, the Flame Martial Tribe's side, inside the Fire Room, Ye Zhangqing has already begun to busy himself.

Meanwhile, the elder clan chief eagerly wanted to help from the side, but he knows nothing.

He was also looked down upon by Tianlin.

"I say, senior, if you have nothing to do, go outside for a cup of tea."

"I'm not worried you'll be overwhelmed, am I?"

"With you here, we really can't keep up."

"Hehe."

Regarding that, the elder clan chief wasn't angry; he cracked a smile and then moved over to Ye Zhangqing's side.

Ye Xiaozi, you see, when the meal is served later, do you need someone to keep you company? After all, having a Barbarian God Tribe member accompany you would be more convenient, right? Rest assured, this old man will definitely make sure everything is settled properly, guaranteeing your satisfaction.

Seeing that the delicious food was about to come out of the pot, the Elder Clan Chief couldn't care about anything else and directly began to volunteer himself.

He's a Barbarian God Tribe member—you're inviting the Iron Peak Tribe's clan elders to a meal; how could there be no Barbarian God Tribe member to accompany them?

With him there, I guarantee that the Iron Peak Tribe will obediently release those companions.

The Elder Clan Chief wore a smile, his eyes full of anticipation; he had just been in the Fire Room, so he knew exactly how lavish this meal was.

Such a feast—how could one miss it?
