Chapter 2754 You guys can't hold them off any longer!
Although the human race is weak, they should be able to keep some of the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts occupied.
We just need to give them a little more chance. We don't need to feed all the tribe members, as long as some of them can eat, that will be enough.
This requirement should be no problem for humans.
As for the food distributed to humans, it's better than everyone going hungry.
Upon hearing this tribesman's words, the other Tiefeng tribesmen present all fell into deep thought.
They are clearly considering the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of this matter.
After a long silence, the leader of the tribesmen finally spoke first.
"It's not impossible, but will the human race agree to it?"
"Hmph, if we don't agree, they won't get a single bite. Don't they understand such a simple truth?"
Cooperation would be entirely beneficial to the human race, and there is no reason for them not to agree.
With the limited strength of the human race, how could they possibly snatch food from the tree demons of the Black Mist Forest without cooperation?
Therefore, there's no reason for the human race not to agree. The most pressing issue right now is how to divide the stolen food after the cooperation.
After all, they didn't expect the humans to be of much help. They just wanted to keep some of the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts' attention occupied, and that was all they could hope for.
Therefore, it's impossible for the stolen food to be divided 50/50.
After agreeing on the profit sharing, the other clansmen no longer objected.
They then selected several representatives to negotiate with the human race. How difficult it was for the people of the Iron Peak Tribe to earn a living!
Inside the tribe, at the residence of Zhao Tianqing and several human cultivators, the Iron Peak Tribe members explained their purpose.
At first, Zhao Tianqing was completely confused. These barbarians actually took the initiative to seek cooperation with him. Wasn't that ridiculous?
However, as these members of the Tiefeng tribe proved their sincerity, Zhao Tianqing began to ponder the matter carefully.
He wasn't without self-awareness. Just as the people from the Iron Peak Tribe said, with the strength of their human race, they had even less chance against the tree demons of the Black Mist Forest.
Getting a meal was practically a pipe dream, but now, thanks to this collaboration, there's a chance we might even get a bite to eat.
Therefore, Zhao Tianqing did not actually shy away from or resist the Tiefeng tribe's proposal, since it was indeed beneficial to both sides.
But then, Zhao Tianqing asked about how the money would be distributed.
"If it's a collaboration, how will the profits be distributed after the deal is done?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Iron Peak tribesman spoke.
"Twenty percent. After we succeed, your human race will take twenty percent."
"What? Only 20%?"
Upon hearing this, not only Zhao Tianqing, but also the other human cultivators living with him, exclaimed in surprise.
If we all cooperate, our human race will only get 20% in the end? Are you trying to fob us off?
Zhao Tianqing frowned even more.
"Isn't this distribution a bit unfair?"
You're only giving them 20%? You're bullying them! Are you kidding me?
However, the Tiefeng tribe members shook their heads at this, saying that 20% of the money was decided after discussion, and some tribesmen were even reluctant to part with it.
However, Zhao Tianqing's attitude was also very firm: if there was only a 20% chance, then there was no need to discuss the matter any further.
The human race will not agree to this; aren't you insulting them?
Faced with Zhao Tianqing's refusal, the Tiefeng tribe initially tried to persuade him for a long time with reason and emotion.
But Zhao Tianqing kept shaking his head and refusing, completely unmoved.
Finally, having no other choice, the leader of the Iron Peak tribe spoke up.
"Thirty percent is the limit we can accept. If you still don't agree, we'll leave now and pretend we were never here."
This is the bottom line that the Tiefeng tribe can accept.
If more than 30% of them are willing to not cooperate, then they would rather not cooperate.
To put it bluntly, the human race's strength is worth this price.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianqing glanced at the others present and saw that none of them immediately objected, but instead fell silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianqing pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, 30% or 30%."
Something is better than nothing, and the Iron Peak Tribe is indeed the main force; the humans are merely diverting the Tree Demons' attention.
Thirty percent is indeed about right.
After discussing some details and confirming everything was correct, the Tiefeng tribe members got up and left.
Both sides agreed to begin the operation tomorrow.
After seeing off the Iron Peak Tribe members, a human cultivator said indignantly.
"How come it's only 30%?"
However, Zhao Tianqing showed no mercy and turned around to curse.
"If you're strong enough to defeat the Iron Peak Tribe Chief, you can have as many as you want."
Upon hearing Zhao Tianqing's words, the human cultivator immediately shut his mouth.
If he can defeat Chief Tiefeng, then there's nothing more to say.
Let alone the Iron Peak Clan Chief, he was no match for even the ordinary members of the Iron Peak Tribe; he had no chance at all.
This human cultivator was well aware of his own limitations.
So when he heard Zhao Tianqing's words, he immediately fell silent.
The matter had been discussed and agreed upon, and it was soon time for breakfast the next day.
It was the same place, but today, when the Iron Peak Tribe and the humans arrived, although they were all silent, they nodded to each other as if they had already greeted each other.
I didn't get to eat anything yesterday, but since we're working together today, I'm determined to get a meal.
"Act as we discussed yesterday."
"clear."
At the head of the tribe, the leader of the Tiefeng tribe whispered something to Zhao Tianqing, who nodded in agreement.
Today we are indeed going to have this meal.
As agreed by both sides yesterday, the human race will charge first today to attract the attention of the tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest, and then the Iron Peak Tribe will make their move.
Once the food was successfully obtained, 30% of the proceeds went to the human race. As for how to distribute it, that was the human race's own business, and the many members of the Iron Peak Tribe did not care.
Neither side has any objection to this.
Therefore, when it was time to eat, Zhao Tianqing did not hesitate at all and immediately led his men to rush up.
We absolutely must have something hot today.
Just like yesterday, as soon as I approached the fire room, before I had run very far, the many tree spirits of the Black Mist Forest made their move.
In the eyes of these tree spirits, it seems that there is no distinction between the Iron Peak Tribe and human cultivators; they are all enemies anyway.
Just as the branches were closing in on the humans, and were about to successfully bind them, the trees began to grow thicker.
The leader of the Iron Peak tribe let out a low growl.
"Now is the time to act."
I never thought the human race could hold out for long, so we must be careful with the timing of our attack.
Otherwise, if the human race is truly bound to death by those tree spirits, and those tree spirits are free to do so, then everything will be meaningless.
The first moment of contact between the two parties is the best opportunity and should not be missed.
