Chapter 2743: No Fight, No Acquaintance

Facing those old acquaintances they had previously crossed blows with, Zhao Tianqing and the others felt mixed emotions.

However, those old acquaintances from the Iron Peak Tribe acted as if nothing had happened, and upon seeing the situation, they even took the initiative to step forward and greet.

"Fellow Daoist, we meet again."

Saying that, they also didn't forget to glare at the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon beside them, clearly indicating for the other party to hurry up and translate.

As for that, Zhao Tianqing and the others didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only reply in a dazed manner.

"You call that meeting?"

"Naturally, according to your Human Race's saying, it's exactly 'no fight, no acquaintance.'"

Huh???

""No fight, no acquaintance"? Our Human Race's saying of 'no fight, no acquaintance' doesn't mean you should quickly beat me to death."

"I was almost beaten to death on the spot by you earlier; if it weren't for being nursed for so many days, I might not even be able to stand up, and you call this 'no fight, no acquaintance'?"

Zhao Tianqing and the others felt utterly stifled inside; these Iron Peak Tribe folks really don't know how to speak.

"You call this 'no fight, no acquaintance'?"

"Don't keep those little past matters in mind."

The Iron Peak Tribe people were enthusiastic instead; the two sides agreed to have a meal together, and afterward, the Iron Peak Tribe folks even came over voluntarily to eat with Zhao Tianqing and the others.

This enthusiasm was somewhat over the top; at first they didn't react, but after eating halfway, the Iron Peak Tribe people suddenly turned their heads, their eyes blazing as they looked at the large bowl in Zhao Tianqing and the others' hands, and grinned.

""Fellow Daoist, I see you've just recovered from a serious injury; eating so much greasy food all at once might not be good for your wound's recovery—how about I help you eat some?""

It seemed like a question, but their chopsticks had already reached into the bowl.

Before the crowd here could react, in just a few moves half of it was scooped into the opposite bowl.

For a moment, the Human Race side here was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell, I've just barely recovered from a serious injury, I eat slowly because you're right there beside me.

After all, I was almost beaten to death by these guys earlier; being this close now, saying I'm not nervous would definitely be a lie.

But just that moment of distraction, the food in the bowl was snatched away by that damned thing, taking more than half.

After coming to their senses, everyone stared wide-eyed, turning their heads to look at those Iron Peak Tribe people.

Having succeeded, those Iron Peak Tribe people didn't waste words; each one, although smiling broadly, moved without the slightest delay.

Smiling, they rose and walked away holding the bowl.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, eat slowly, eat slowly."

Huh??? You damned………………………

A surge of anger rose from the depths of their hearts; if they weren't unable to win in a fight, the crowd would have likely struck right then—this is utter nonsense of kindness, these beasts have been aiming to snatch food from the very start.

As members of the Human Race, having followed Ye Zhangqing's side for quite a while, they could be considered old hands at snatching food.

But today, just now, Zhao Tianqing and the other veteran food-snatchers were actually robbed by someone else.

What's most infuriating is that beforehand they hadn't noticed the slightest clue at all, and had made no preparations.

A bunch of seasoned falconers, and yet in the end they even got their eyes pecked by a hawk—how embarrassing.

After the Iron Peak Tribe people succeeded, they left one by one, feeling satisfied.

Only a crowd filled with sorrow and indignation remained, standing dumbfounded in place.

Having their food snatched away, what utter humiliation.

""I said these Human Race folks are good friends.""

""Exactly, exactly, very good friends.""

Gathered together, those Iron Peak Tribe people each laughed and sighed, saying, 'Look at how nice these people are—such delicious food, and they just let us have it.'

If it were their own kin brothers, that would be impossible.

As for the Human Race side, they could only each take a few bites to finish the scraps left in the bowl, then come over to Ye Zhangqing with pleading eyes.

Moreover, the meal that had been prepared was naturally already gone, with several large buckets of magical treasures left empty as well.

""Young Master Ye, our food has been snatched.""

""Yes, those Iron Peak Tribe beasts are completely inhuman.""

""Damn it, coming to deceive an old man like me—this is utterly unjust.""

""Zhangqing ah, I only took a single bite, and it's all gone.""

Everyone had considered letting Ye Zhangqing set up a small stove, but they truly hadn't eaten anything at all—where the hell could they even reason about this?

However, regarding this, Ye Zhangqing merely shook his head and laughed.

""You seniors know the rule: after the meal is settled, I don't concern myself with anything else.""

""Moreover, you're all veterans—how could you still be robbed by a bunch of newbies from the Iron Peak Tribe? Shouldn't that be your specialty?""

""This…………………………""

Upon Ye Zhangqing saying that, everyone's faces also turned red from holding back, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

What he said is correct; when it comes to snatching food, they are indeed veterans, even more experienced.

After all, compared to them, the Iron Peak Tribe people have only eaten a few meals; compared to the crowd, they are nothing but raw recruits.

Yet these raw recruits possess extraordinary talent—damn it, they're self-taught; what can you do about it?

They were completely unprepared and still got robbed, and it's utterly shameless.

On the surface they laugh and joke with you, but behind the scenes they've been plotting from the start how to snatch your bowl of food—this is not something humans do.

They felt utterly stifled inside, yet had no recourse; in the end, they could only silently swallow that indignation amidst their sorrow and anger.

You bunch of damned things, just you wait.

Naturally they feel unwilling to accept it; this time they were careless, and next time they'll make those Iron Peak Tribe fellows know what experience is, what an old hand is.

The amount of food we've eaten exceeds the amount of rice you've eaten.

After finishing the meal, the people of the Iron Peak Tribe left satisfied, while the many humans here returned to their lodgings resentfully to rest.

Ye Zhangqing prepared the meals for the Iron Peak Clan Chief and had them sent over.

Because of Ye Zhangqing, everyone was naturally arranged lodgings, and the environment was not bad.

Zhao Tianqing volunteered to share lodgings with Ye Zhangqing and the three of them.

At night, with nothing to do, Ye Zhangqing and Zhao Tianqing sat together drinking alcohol.

In idle chat, the topic inadvertently turned to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

When Ye Zhangqing was in the Flame Martial Tribe, he knew the relationship between the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and the Barbarian God Tribe.

Even the ordinary Flame Martial Tribe regarded those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons as watchdogs, let alone the Iron Peak Tribe.

Zhao Tianqing did not know these secrets; after entering the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, due to the language barrier, when facing the Barbarian God Tribe, they spoke gibberish, and Zhao Tianqing and his companions could not understand a word.

Naturally, they did not know these things.

At this moment, hearing Ye Zhangqing speak of it, Zhao Tianqing learned that the backer behind the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was actually this Barbarian God Tribe.

No wonder within the court of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon there is an entrance to the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm; it turns out the Barbarian God Tribe themselves created it.

But this makes the situation serious.
