"You can move around freely here. We also welcome your people to trade resources with us. If you have more game than you can eat, you can bring it over and exchange for what you need."
"We produce sugar over there. If you need it, you can come over to trade."
Liang Yuan was taken aback: "Sugar? Where did you get sugar?"
Wu Meng laughed, "We have a lot of sugarcane growing on the mountain. The sugar is extracted from that."
He continued, "If you want to establish yourselves on the mountain, your camp must have its own specialty. Otherwise, even if you occupy the Fire Bamboo Forest now, your camp will eventually disperse."
"Our four camps each have unique agricultural products. After every sea tide, we go to the Gouwu Pavilion scenic spot to trade."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan frowned slightly. This was the second time he heard Wu Meng mention the sea tide.
He couldnât help but ask, "Brother Meng, what is the sea tide? You seem to be very cautious about it?"
At this moment, Ding Yan and Liu Feifei came over, supporting Zhao Kai.
Li Yuejin and the others also came over. Since both leaders had made peace, there was no need for a fight.
Li Yuejinâs side was accompanied by a young girl who walked over and said, "Handsome guy, this is for you."
She handed him a bamboo tube that seemed to contain some liquid.
Zhao Kai, holding a grudge, snorted and didnât speak.
Liu Feifei also looked at the girl cautiously.
However, Ding Yan asked coldly, "What do you want?"
The girl giggled, "I am Bai Zhirui, the exclusive healer of the Martial King Pavilion. This is a potion I made; it can heal injuries."
"If you donât believe me, you can ask Sister Gao and Brother Peng."
She pointed to Gao Jie, Cheng Zhanpeng, and Yuan Rui, who had already recovered from their injuries.
Sure enough, the three of them had recovered, and their faces looked much better.
Seeing Zhao Kai and the others looking over, apart from Yuan Rui, Cheng Zhanpeng and Gao Jie smiled and nodded at them.
Gao Jie even took the initiative to come over, saying, "Iâm sorry for hitting too hard earlier. Our leaderâs intention is that if you canât even beat us, you wonât be able to defend the Fire Bamboo Forest."
Hearing this, Ding Yan and the others couldnât help but feel their anger subside a little.
Ding Yan asked, "Are you saying that if weâre too weak, the people from Phoenix Temple will target us?"
Gao Jie nodded, "Thatâs for sure. Tu Long and Hong Fu are in cahoots, and theyâve been eyeing the Fire Bamboo Forest for a long time."
"Youâve been here for a few days, right? The bamboo from the Fire Bamboo Forest is hard and has excellent toughness, making it great for construction and weapon-making."
"Its bamboo shoots are also tender and delicious, making them an excellent food source."
"The forest is also home to many Fire Bamboo Rats. Theyâre herbivores with low attack power, and their meat is very tasty, making them a valuable resource as well."
"Frankly, if Brother Meng hadnât said we should unite, we wouldnât have been willing to give it up."
"But just because weâve given it up doesnât mean Tu Long and his people will."
"This place is a fat piece of meat."
Ding Yan and the others couldnât help but show a look of realization, while secretly hating Tu Long and Hong Fu for their cunning and ruthlessness.
They had actually used them to occupy the Fire Bamboo Forest and stir up a fight with the Martial King Pavilion.
Gao Jie was a good talker, and after chatting for a while, everyone put aside their past grievances.
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai also realized that during the previous fight, the Martial King Pavilion people had indeed held back.
Otherwise, with their numbers, they wouldnât have stood a chance, not to mention facing the terrifying Wu Meng.
The fact that they didnât kill them indicated that what they said earlier was probably true.
Wu Meng seemed to genuinely want to unite everyone and wasnât a selfish person.
Liang Yuan also gradually realized this while chatting with Wu Meng.
He couldnât help but feel impressed. Such a person must have an upright heart.
If he didnât have such a heart, he probably wouldnât have achieved what he had now.
As for Liang Yuan, he was naturally willing to interact with such a person.
Because he also wanted to build a quiet and stable environment.
Only then could he have more people help him catch fish and earn points.
With his ability to draw unlimited resources, he didnât have to worry about lacking people to trade with.
Since they had similar development strategies and common goals, they naturally hit it off.
When they left the bamboo forest and reached the winding mountain road, Zhao Kaiâs injuries had miraculously healed!
Feeling the healing effect of the potion in the bamboo tube, he couldnât help but be overjoyed and looked at this group of people with much softer eyes.
"It seems these people are indeed sincere."
Just as they reached the winding mountain road, they encountered Yang Shenmin and others who had rushed over to support them.
Yang Shenmin saw Liang Yuan and a group of strangers walking together from a distance and couldnât help but show a look of surprise on his face.
He stopped suspiciously and shouted, "Liang Yuan, are you guys okay?"
Seeing this, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Itâs all a misunderstanding, Dr. Yang. Everyone, come over; let me introduce you."
Yang Shenmin, puzzled, brought Shi Haizhu and the others over.
From the Bamboo House, Song Wen, Yang Mei, Dong Yan, and others who had gotten the news also rushed over.
After everyone gathered, Liang Yuan introduced, "Everyone, these are the brothers and sisters from the Martial King Pavilion. They are also refugees on the mountain. As the saying goes, you donât know each other until you fight. Today we got to know each other through a fight."
"This is Wu Meng, the leader of the Martial King Pavilion. You can call him Brother Meng."
"Brother Meng, these are some of the capable people from our shelter. Yang Shenmin, Dr. Yang, used to be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Nowadays, with our medical conditions, itâs a great time for traditional Chinese medicine to shine."
