Chapter 379: part 1- Swallowing and merging
Grey Mountain had already forgotten how many days had been since he had seen so much food being placed together. In his memory, the last time was when he was still small before the tribe faced those wars that nearly wiped them out.
Although the food gave off a blood stench, the Posthumous people were all hungry, and they could imagine how the demon monster's bodies would be when they turned into golden barbecue meat.
The people who followed the leader out to welcome Ah Tao were all respected people in the tribe, but they were all stunned by the food there.
The ground shook, and Grey Mountain woke up from the constant earthquake. Grey Mountain smiled and told his people to clean the place and lead Ah Tao’s tribe into the camp.
After half a day of being busy, the two teams finally sat together. Ah Tao was very generous, taking out food to feed the Grey Mountain Tribe.
As for those leaders, naturally, they were able to eat delicious barbecue meat in the tent.
“Black Seed Deer Meat!”
The host, Grey Mountain, who was supposed to prepare food to welcome Ah Tao, was embarrassed. He was stunned when he saw the barbecue meat being sent over.
Black Seed Deer? Didn’t Jinke’s team see someone hunting the Black Seed Deers? Did Ah Tao’s group bump into some on the way? Or did he buy some food from that large tribe?
Due to some deep-rooted thoughts, Grey Mountain didn’t think about any other possibility.
Hearing Grey Mountain’s questions, Ah Tao smiled. This smile looked proud. As expected, what the old man said shocked Grey Mountain.
“Why can’t we be the ones to hunt them, Black Seed Deers… Aren’t much.”
Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes. Posthumous people were the same as humans on Earth; they loved to act cool.
“Impossible!”
Many core members of Grey Mountain’s tribe expressed their disbelief.
Ye Zhongming sliced a piece and placed it in his mouth. This was the most delicious thing he had eaten since he came to the Secret Realm.
“There is nothing impossible. I learned a phrase recently: foresight of the future. Grey Mountain, you must look into the future. Ah Tao tribe is different from the past.”
Ah Tao stood up and attracted their attention. He walked to the middle and pointed at the Posthumous people sitting outside, “Do you know who they are?”
Grey Mountain tribe looked out and didn’t understand what he was saying.
“Let me show you something, brother Grey Mountain.”
Ah Tao waved. Someone passed him a leather bag and placed it on the wooden table. He then lowered the curtain.
Grey Mountain opened it, and his body leaned backward. He looked closely and couldn’t hide the shock on his face.
Although Grey Mountain was shocked when he saw Ah Tao’s food and found out they had killed the Black Seed Deers, he had many guesses. He could use the outcome to prove the thoughts that he had.
But after seeing this thing, Grey Mountain was shocked. He didn’t believe that it was real.
It was the tribe token.
Each Posthumous tribe had a token representing their legacy. It was the item held by every leader and a sign of their power.
But when a tribe had the token of another tribe, there was only one possibility. They either wiped out or merged with the other.
Even if a tribe went extinct, the token would be sent to the imperial city. It won’t be left outside.
Ah Tao tribe wiped a Posthumous tribe? Moreover… It was the Dabu tribe?
Strictly speaking, be it Ah Tao tribe or the Grey Mountain tribe, they were both tribes within the Dabu tribe’s territory. When there was an external war, they had to listen to that tribe.
But now, this medium-sized tribe’s token was in front of him.
Thinking back to how Ah Tao’s 50-man-strong team killed the Black Seed Deer, Grey Mountain realized that Ah Tao’s reason for coming wasn’t so simple.
When the curtains were drawn, this tent became a small area. Sounds would spread from inside, but no one could hear carefully. But today, what Grey Mountain tribe felt was that they waited outside for a long time.
After which, Grey Mountain walked out and announced that Grey Mountain would merge with Ah Tao tribe to form the new… Cloud Peak Tribe.
This thing caused a huge uproar. Grey Mountain tribe’s people objected. Grey Mountain predicted that. The core members each went to the regions they were in charge of to explain to their people.
At the same time, cart after cart of food and clothing needed for winter was pushed in front of Grey Mountain’s leader and other camp leaders.
“You might think it is very sudden. I feel the same way.” Grey Mountain stood behind the food, and his gaze was complicated.
The race members listened to their leader and quietened down.
“I know you might not understand and be angry that I am abandoning our tribe name. Even if you freeze or starve to death, you hope to keep a part of the Grey Mountain tribe’s legacy. Me too.”
