Chapter 2786: I Will

Watching the Charcoal Snake Tribe members fighting together, who should have been companions, they are now divided into two camps.

The current situation is completely different from the plan of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother.

He wanted to get rid of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief and become the new clan chief, but he certainly did not want to destroy the entire Charcoal Snake Tribe.

Now, due to the melee between the two sides, any tribe member who falls dead is ultimately a loss for the Charcoal Snake Tribe itself, and moreover, it is a loss with no value at all.

They are not dying at the hands of the enemy, but rather at the hands of their own people, and the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother feels his heart dripping blood.

However, for the Iron Peak Clan Chief, this internal strife of the Charcoal Snake Tribe before him is absolutely good news.

After all, the Charcoal Snake Tribe's strength has been weakened; for the Iron Peak Tribe, even if they do not directly gain any benefit, the threat is at least diminishing.

With one's loss and the other's gain, those resources that once belonged to the Charcoal Snake Tribe are not beyond the Iron Peak Tribe's designs to covet a share.

Therefore, seeing these Charcoal Snake Tribe members fighting with genuine fury, the Iron Peak Clan Chief cannot help but grin widely.

Fight well, fight well.

As for the previous plan with the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother, he has long since tossed it to the clouds.

As the saying goes, circumstances change; this plan could not have changed faster, and now that an accident has occurred, this plan too must be altered.

The Iron Peak Clan Chief has no intention of taking action at all; now is not the time to act, and he must wait for the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother to speak up first.

Only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

The Iron Peak Clan Chief showed no sign, and the several elders who followed him would certainly not make a move either.

As for Zhao Tianqing, he had long since hidden himself at the rear.

Having lived this long, Zhao Tianqing is obviously highly skilled in the art of self-preservation.

Among the Human Race, he is undoubtedly the foremost powerhouse, an idol to countless human cultivators.

However, here Zhao Tianqing clearly understands that he is at most cannon fodder, so he must absolutely not get involved in the affairs of the Barbarian God Tribe.

Anyway, this is their own matter and has nothing to do with him.

Only, with a hint of helplessness, he secretly wondered whether his poison was that potent—the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, a powerhouse of that level, died directly from the poison, something even he had not anticipated.

Actually, this is not to say the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief is weak; it merely indicates that this aspect is also a weakness of the Barbarian God Tribe.

The Barbarian God Tribe has long lived in their own Shenjie, naturally possessing powerful physiques.

Moreover, within the Barbarian God Tribe, there are basically no users of poison.

Compared to using poison, they prefer to rely on their fists.

Consequently, many Barbarian God Tribe members, from childhood onward, have basically never encountered poison or similar substances, making their poison resistance extremely poor.

Precisely for this reason, although the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief is strong, he still finds it difficult to resist when poison strikes.

Put simply, his flesh has not yet grown accustomed to this stuff.

The poison suddenly spread through his body, leaving his entire physique dazed—what is this thing?

Before his body could react, the poison had already invaded his heart vessels and organs, and he immediately lost his breath.

Therefore, it is not his fault; mainly, he simply has not had much contact with this stuff.

Zhao Tianqing's act of directly poisoning the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief can be said to have completely destroyed the younger brother's plan.

After a fierce battle, members of the Charcoal Snake Tribe have already fallen, and the number of the wounded continues to rise.

At the same time, the side of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Originally, his influence within the tribe was not as strong as that of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's die-hard supporters, so losing is not surprising.

Moreover, his public poisoning of his own elder brother has aroused anger among the people, which actually adds a bit of morale to them.

He could not continue like this; seeing the situation grow ever more difficult, the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother secretly thought to himself.

If he continues like this, his side will surely lose; even if he manages to kill the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, it would be of no avail, still a futile effort like drawing water with a bamboo basket.

And now, the only method he can think of is to pray for the Iron Peak Tribe to lend a hand.

If the Iron Peak Clan Chief and his people help, suppressing these die-hard loyalists of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief would not be difficult; it could be done quite easily.

But he also knows that the Iron Peak Clan Chief has been watching coldly from the sidelines, which is to say he is waiting for him to take the initiative and beg for help.

And getting the other side to act is obviously not easy; it will inevitably require a great sacrifice.

Such an excellent opportunity to profit from the chaos, given the Iron Peak Clan Chief's character, he will certainly not let it slip.

Precisely for this reason, the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother had been hesitating whether to let the Iron Peak Tribe's people come to his aid.

But the current development of the situation has left him with no other choice.

Not wanting to suffer defeat, he can only grit his teeth and bleed; that is still better than ending up with nothing at all.

Thinking this through, the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother immediately sent a secret mental transmission to the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

"Please, Clan Chief, help me."

Upon suddenly hearing the mental transmission from the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother, the Iron Peak Clan Chief broke into a grin; he had waited so long, and this was exactly what he had been waiting for—this kid finally could not hold back.

Moreover, it is only reasonable; he did not want to ask for help himself, so what other option could he have?

With a smile on his face, the Iron Peak Clan Chief did not waste words and directly replied.

"Yes, but the Charcoal Snake Tribe must henceforth submit to my Iron Peak Tribe."

"You……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother was stunned, and then his teeth began to grind.

He had anticipated that the Iron Peak Clan Chief would take advantage of the chaos and make a lion's demand, but he never expected the other's appetite to be so huge as to want to devour the entire Charcoal Snake Tribe.

This would directly make the Charcoal Snake Tribe a vassal of the Iron Peak Tribe.

Had these words been spoken at any other time, the Charcoal Snake Tribe would have refused even if they fought to the death.

But at this moment, no matter how angry the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's younger brother is, he did not immediately refuse; instead, he fell into deliberation.

Deep down, he naturally does not want to agree, but the problem is that if he does not agree, not to mention all those years of forbearance, even whether he can secure the clan chief position is uncertain.

Even if he ultimately succeeds, the Charcoal Snake Tribe would suffer countless casualties, and he would have crippled himself.

So, for the younger brother of Tanshe Zuzhang, it seemed there was no other choice.

He remained silent with an ugly expression, and in response, Iron Peak Clan Chief asked via voice transmission, smiling broadly.

「How come? You're not willing? 」

His words carried a hint of an inquiry that allowed no objection, and the feeling was as if it had been decided that you couldn't refuse.

Indeed, that was the case. Facing Iron Peak Clan Chief's inquiry, the younger brother of Tanshe Zuzhang gritted his teeth and finally, as if drained of strength, replied with two words.

「I am willing. 」

As his side continued, another clansman died on the spot, killed by his own tribesmen; the younger brother of Tanshe Zuzhang, in the end, still nodded and agreed to Iron Peak Clan Chief's terms.
