Ye Zhongming squatted before a Dabu race man and felt the rage in his eyes.
On the first day back to Ah Taoâs tribe, this old man who had some power in Dabuâs tribe started to contact people from his tribe and even tried to start a coup for them to kill Ye Zhongming.
Of course, that didnât work. Although two Ah Tao tribe members were convinced and helped make things easy for the old man, the camp was too small. His actions were caught with Ah Tao and Ye Zhongmingâs mental energy cover.
Ah Tao had already decided to take a gamble with Ye Zhongming. He killed the two from his race in front of everyone. He announced to everyone that if they didnât stand in the same line as them, they wouldnât be from the tribe; they would be their enemies! If you disagree with what they were doing, then leave. If you tried to spoil things, you would end up like those two.
Ah Taoâs actions made everyone sure that the tribe was walking a different path. Either you did it without hesitation, or you scram.
To this tribe, with only a few hundred people, everyone was loved ones. No one could abandon their loved ones. Although a portion of them disagreed, they saw the changes and benefits, and they, too, wanted to see what the future would bring.
Ah Taoâs determination stabilized the tribe.
They washed the Dabu tribe in blood. Ye Zhongming left this old man as he wanted to do a few tests on his body.
He loosened the muscles on his body. This old man, who knew that he would die, attacked. But he only had three-star strength. Ye Zhongming could defeat him with just one hand. After fighting the old man, he tied him up again and poured something into his mouth.
Ye Zhongming walked out and saw Miya, who was waiting for him.
She was calm, but she had a complicated gaze. Ye Zhongming was familiar with such a gaze. The entire tribe was looking at him that way.
It included many emotions like gratitude, respect, fear, foreign, unbearableâŠ
âHe went against you, so you should just kill him; why torture him? That's not good.â
].
Ye Zhongming had already spent a month here and grasped most of their language. Evolved had a strong memory and increased his learning efficiency with the Soul Refining Technique. With Han Yihao and his wife, who were good teachers, he could communicate with them without problems.
Ye Zhongming didnât say anything. He didnât need to explain things, and he didnât feel like he needed to.
âYou, you have killed so many. Please, donât continue. Do it for the future kids.â
Ye Zhongming frowned at Miya and didnât know what she meant.
He only did things with Xia Lei, and it wouldnât be so accurate to get a kid right away. That means that having kids would be a long time in the future. Moreover, did this even have to do with kids?
He ignored this woman and walked towards Ah Taoâs tent. The old man chose a few targets to find out more exact details.
He had to be nice to them, no matter which one. Ye Zhongming planned to bring a few people to hunt some demon monsters. The tribe needed a huge amount of food now.
Ah Tao was drawing a rough map in the tent. They might have maps, but for a small tribe like theirs, the map was basically in their heads.
But it would be different in the future. This was very important, so Ye Zhongming told him to draw it out.
He glanced at the drawing. Ah Tao was quite talented in drawing and could understand it.
âYe, this pen and paper are so amazing; it is a miracle!â
Ye Zhongming wanted to tell Ah Tao that there were 6 billion such miracles on earth, but he didnât as he felt like he had scared this old man enough.
âThis is the Ash Mountain Tribe that I chose. There are 300 of them, slightly stronger than us in the past. Their leader, Grey Mountain, is close to me. We had come into contact with them a lot in the recent thousand days.â
Ye Zhongming looked at a dot on the map and estimated they could arrive in three days if his drawing was accurate.
âThey arenât in a good state. Winter is coming, and it will be tough. We have a chance if we bring enough food and good weapons to find them.â Ah Tao looked at Ye Zhongming, âI will try to convince them. You donât want all of us to be slaves apart from my tribe, right?â
Ye Zhongming agreed. His plan needed a large number of helpers.
Ye Zhongming exited the tent and called for people to hunt with him. With him here, their previously dangerous hunts became a simple food storage mission. The Posthumous people who hadnât been hungry for days were grateful.
Two days later, Ye Zhongming returned with huge gains. Although no one died, a few dozen were injured. This was a result of his training.
He handed the food to the others before he came to where the old man was locked up. But before he entered, he saw Miya standing outside.
âWhat do you want to do?â
Ye Zhongming asked. If this was Cloud Peak, even Xia Lei wouldnât dare to go against him.
âStop torturing this person. You should just kill him!â
Ye Zhongming didnât understand how the vicious girl he had met had become such a kind goddess.
âDonât say things you know nothing about; which eye did you see me torture him?â
Miya pointed at the tent, âYou hit him and fed him poison!â
Ye Zhongming grabbed her hand and pulled her into the tent.
She was caught off guard, and her face turned red.
Ye Zhongming saw that the old man was still alive and looked good. He was excited.
âWhat did you give me? Why do I feel weird?â
That old man struggled right away and asked him. He probably thought that Ye Zhongming had poisoned him.
Ye Zhongming didnât reply. He knew his questions wouldnât be accurate, so he just released the old man and told him he would release him if he defeated him.
The old man started to attack, but he still wasnât Ye Zhongmingâs match.
Ye Zhongming tied the old man up, and that infuriated Miya.
âRemember to apologize to me in the future.â
Ye Zhongming ignored Miya and went to Ah Taoâs tent, placing something before the old man.
âWhat is this?â Ah Tao didnât understand.
âSomething that can help increase your tribesâ strength.â
Ye Zhongming smiled mysteriously. He looked at the bottle on the table⊠Evolution potion.
