134: Chapter 134 – Joining the Winged Tiger Tribe 134: Chapter 134 – Joining the Winged Tiger Tribe Gaiyin patted Su Tang’s hand, signaling her to stay calm.
He turned back to sit on the large rock, flaring his Suppression aura as a Level 5 Divine Brave Warrior intentionally to awe Ma Qing and the others.
“If you wish to join the Winged Tiger Tribe, that’s fine.
Give me a reason to accept you,” he said.
“You know, as a Divine Brave Warrior, it would not be hard for me to kill you silently.
So, don’t threaten me!”
Ma Qing lifted his head.
Numerous complex emotions washed over him.
After much struggle, he finally said, “Although my people are not good at hunting, we know about food that can be stored for the winter!
I can share this knowledge and storage methods with you if you accept us.”
Gaiyin hummed, seemingly unimpressed, “It’s a reason, but unfortunately, our tribe has already found a type of food that can be stored for the winter, and we’ve collected plenty of it!
So, do you have any other reasons?”
Ma Qing’s head shot up in astonishment, he asked in disbelief, “How is that possible?
What kind of food did you find?”
Gaiyin’s eyes turned cold, and his Suppression aura added a few more degrees.
Ma Qing involuntarily fell to the ground again, trembling uncontrollably.
“That’s not something you should concern yourself with.
If you can’t provide a suitable reason, you should worry about your life and your tribesmen.”
Upon hearing his words, Su Tang anxiously clung to Gaiyin’s arm.
She didn’t want Gaiyin to kill people.
Ma Qing’s face was mired in complex emotions, hesitating to voice his thoughts.
But seeing the injured beastmen, females, and cubs behind him, he clenched his fists tightly.
After grinding his teeth, he lifted his head resolutely and said, “I do have a compelling reason to persuade you to accept us, but before I say it, you have to swear to the Beast God that you will treat us like tribesmen after we join the tribe, not as slaves!”
Gaiyin snorted, “Do you think you are in a position to negotiate?
I will not swear to the Beast God, but I can assure you in the name of a Divine Brave Warrior, if you join the Winged Tiger Tribe, you will be one of us.
The Winged Tiger Tribe will not condone slavery!”
Ma Qing met Gaiyin’s eyes, his own filled with resolve.
He was left with no other choices!
When he and Tian Ding returned to the tribe, proclaiming the upcoming disaster, the high priest led the mockery.
Subsequently, the majority of strong beastmen expelled him, the chieftain, along with the weak, old, and incapacitated.
Returning to the Weasel Tribe was no longer an option, nor was it necessary.
He also couldn’t bring these tribesmen to the beautiful, suitable place he had found.
The chieftain of the Winged Tiger Tribe surprisingly turned out to be a Divine Brave Warrior.
With such a powerful beastman as their protector, the tribe’s rise was inevitable.
It would be better to join them, ensuring the lives of his tribesmen and also promising a better future.
After much internal deliberation in a span of two breaths, Ma Qing was resolved.
He looked up at Gaiyin and said, “I once got stranded in the Death Forest due to an accident while traveling around the Beastman Continent.”
“I thought I would die there, but I didn’t!
The Death Forest is not as terrifying as the legends suggest; it’s quite beautiful.
The prey there does not fear unfamiliar presence, all plump and easy to catch!”
