Chapter 2866: The Fish Have Come

Because he hadn't gotten to eat, the Iron Peak Clan Chief, his belly full of fire, immediately turned his head and shouted angrily.

Seeing this, that Elder also instantly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

You damn well still dare to complain—I didn't even think of these Tree Ghosts either, did I?

Not long after, the Iron Peak Tribe people sat down again, but seeing the empty dinner table, the atmosphere became silent and oppressive for a moment.

They hadn't even moved their chopsticks when they were given a harsh welcome—who could tolerate that?

If it weren't for Ye Zhangqing speaking up, today we would have fought those Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts no matter what.

In the Fire Room, the many Tree Ghosts brought by Ye Zhangqing each shrank to palm size, neatly arranged on a long table.

It's quite surprising; even Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but keep looking back—these Tree Ghosts are really outrageous.

Such a vast Black Mist Forest, now that they've shrunk in size, a single long table is enough to accommodate them.

When did they awaken this kind of divine ability?

Ye Zhangqing was curious inside, but he had no time to ask now; first he would make the food, then talk.

Otherwise, the people outside would probably go crazy.

Without the disturbance of those Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, the Iron Peak Tribe people then enjoyed a hearty meal.

Although there was still some scrambling at the table, it's not the same when it's one's own people fighting over food, is it?

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the Iron Peak Tribe people then went to rest satisfied.

Their lodgings were naturally arranged beforehand; though not luxurious, they were not bad either.

Only then did Ye Zhangqing have the leisure to converse with these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts.

Of course, a table of delicious food is definitely indispensable; they were hungry too.

Upon learning that it was because they ate his food that they awakened such divine ability, Ye Zhangqing remained silent for a long time.

My own cooking has this effect? How come I never noticed before?

After thinking for a while, he could only conclude it was due to the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts' own special nature.

Anyway, nobody else who ate it mastered this divine ability.

With the Iron Peak Clan Chief bringing reinforcements, all that's left is to wait for the Feather God Tribe to take the bait.

But in the following days, Ye Zhangqing became busy, after all there were now many more mouths to feed.

As for that, Ye Zhangqing didn't complain either; it's just that the lavish banquet of the first day was gone.

The Iron Peak Tribe people, like everyone else, queued for meals according to mealtime, eating big pot rice.

The only good point is that there's no more scrambling; although each person is limited to one bowl, at least everyone gets to eat.

Having something to eat is already not bad; the Iron Peak Tribe people could accept it.

After all, in the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, there's nothing to eat at all—one can only stare helplessly waiting.

The news of the Iron Peak Tribe's arrival was not spread; even within the Human Race, the Heavenly Palace tightly sealed the information.

Only Zhao Tianqing, Tianhe, and a few others knew.

Upon meeting the Iron Peak Clan Chief again, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe specially came to pay a visit, and detailed the situation Beyond the Heavens.

When mentioning the betrayal of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon clan, the Iron Peak Clan Chief spoke with a calm expression.

"It's fine, just wallgrass—after we deal with the Feather God Tribe, is this even worth mentioning?"

As for the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the Iron Peak Clan Chief didn't even give it a thought.

For the Barbarian God Tribe, the true enemy from beginning to end has only ever been the Feather God Tribe; the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon clan poses not even a shred of threat.

Even if they betrayed, what could they do? They're still just someone's dog.

With no news from the Feather God Tribe, the Iron Peak Tribe people waited quietly in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

As for Xu Jie, these days he has been living together with that Feather God Tribe Elder.

There's no way around it, because he needs to maintain contact with the Feather God Tribe at all times.

Although the Flame Martial Clan Chief already obtained their communication ritual implement,

But the problem is, the Feather God Tribe's communication ritual implement allows active contact without issue; however, if the other side contacts you, you must have that Feather God Tribe Elder present.

So Xu Jie these days cannot leave that Feather God Tribe Elder; even his three daily meals have to be brought by Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou, the two junior sisters, taking turns.

On the way, it's natural that some get eaten—it's normal.

So Xu Jie these days has been full of anger, and when idle he punches and kicks that Feather God Tribe Elder.

Having suffered abuse, but this is nothing to that Feather God Tribe Elder.

What really makes him grit his teeth is that whenever the tribe sends a message, these despicable humans disguise their voice as his and converse with the tribe.

Yet those foolish tribe members believe it completely, with not a shred of doubt.

After hearing this for so many days, that Feather God Tribe Elder has long seen through the humans' plan.

They want to trick the Feather God Tribe into lending support, then have those barbarians launch a sneak attack—deserving of death.

One could say he watches anxiously as the tribe's elders one by one jump into the pit, and he is so anxious he jumps up and down.

But there's simply nothing he can do.

Right now he can barely protect himself, let alone stop anything.

Especially today, the tribe again sent a message; after Xu Jie activated the call, the elder on the other side said with a delighted expression.

"Lingyu, we're almost at the designated location; at the latest we'll be in position by tomorrow."

"Good, the Human Race is now at the end of its rope; if it weren't for lacking manpower around me, I would have already wiped them out outright. When you all arrive and we act together, this time we will surely annihilate these humans completely."

"Haha, that's only natural."

Upon hearing Xu Jie's words, the elder on the other side laughed, his heart full of excitement.

Listening to this made Lingyu grit his teeth; this idiot, you damn well won't use your brain, will you?

But Lingyu himself never imagined how he became a prisoner.

Tomorrow he would be able to reach the designated position, which was naturally the one Xu Jie had chosen; after ending the call, Xu Jie grinned.

"The fish are coming."

"Despicable."

Seeing Xu Jie's smiling face, Lingyu gritted his teeth and cursed, but all he got in return was a shoe sole slammed hard onto his face.

Xu Jie showed no mercy in his strike.

"I don't want to hear you say that; how could this be called despicable? This is strategy."

"You humans are courting death."

Lingyu was indeed a little panicked, so he followed the plan he knew; the reinforcements from his tribe arrived, and that was just delivering food.

Moreover, they had no preparation at all, leaving them with no chance whatsoever.

An acquired tribe that had never been taken seriously actually managed to push their Feather God Tribe to this point; Lingyu felt nothing but anger and turmoil inside.

He never expected the humans to be so despicable; if they had the skill, they should fight a proper battle with real swords and spears.

Had he known this would happen, he would never have been so careless in dealing with the humans beforehand; he would have thought it over repeatedly, considered it three times, made sure there were no loopholes, and only then acted.

It's a pity, but it's too late to say anything now; he has become a prisoner, can barely protect himself, and has no right to say these things.
