"Yue'e, is it still nearby?"
Yue'e's massive form glided through the surrounding waters.
"Probably not, I can't sense it anymore!"
Li ng looked down at the Dark Elf beside him.
He reached out and poked her cheek.
It felt a bit slippery and soft.
Ti slowly passed, and the noise from the Black Mountain tribe continued for a long ti.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the Black Mountain tribe finally quieted down.
The next day, in the morning.
In the southern waters of the Ancestral Tribe.
A white shadow flashed beneath the shimring water.
Looking towards the water's surface not far to the south.
A vast sheet of white ice was visible.
A massive swamp crocodile king was sunbathing on the ice.
At the edge of the ice sat a tall green-skinned figure.
"Ah!"
Li ng yawned.
His sturdy legs splashed the water.
Last night was very quiet; the fleeing Black Robe did not return to rescue his companions.
The Black Mountain tribe was also very quiet.
Li ng looked down slightly at the water in front of him.
A white figure flashed beneath the surface.
A sowhat round white Lizardman head erged from the water.
"Boss, it's over!"
Li ng looked up, gazing towards the distant Black Mountain tribe.
"After such a commotion, there shouldn't be many people left."
Bai Ling nodded slightly.
"At its peak, the Black Mountain tribe had about sixty thousand people, with camps of all sizes scattered throughout the Black Mountain Swamp. Now, there are less than thirty thousand left, and yesterday's upheaval killed nearly three thousand Lizardn in the chaos."
Standing up, Li ng stretched his stiff back.
"Bai Ling, I'll leave things here to you. There's no rush for the tribute; send it over in half a year."
The throne tribe couldn't accommodate three thousand female Lizardn.
It would take six months for large-scale expansion work.
Although the number is a bit high, a little more wouldn't hurt.
The three thousand Lizardn couldn't all be used for breeding.
So could be assigned to weave bowstrings.
Weaving bowstrings requires delicate handiwork.
Female creatures are more suited for this work.
As for the three thousand male Lizardn, they were easier to arrange.
Assign so to the Iron Cave, and the rest can go fishing to prepare military provisions.
"Boss, are you going back?"
From the boss's words, Bai Ling could sense this.
Li ng turned and walked towards Yue'e.
Once beside Yue'e, Li ng climbed onto her back.
He hoisted the Dark Elf lying on Yue'e's back onto his shoulder.
Then, carrying the naked Dark Elf, he leaped off Yue'e's back.
"Bai Ling, Yue'e will stay here. If you encounter uncontrollable danger, leave with Yue'e."
Bai Ling nodded slightly.
Bai Ling understood the aning behind the boss's words.
Apart from himself, the boss didn't care about the lives of other tribesn.
If necessary, the boss would have him abandon the tribesn and escape alone.
"If there's any news, let Yue'e inform . She swims fast. When Yue'e isn't around, be smart. You're a Lizardman, and the area around Black Mountain is full of deep waters. It's easy to escape by diving into the water."
Saying this, Li ng turned to Yue'e.
"Yue'e, I'm leaving Bai Ling to you!"
Yue'e waved her short, sturdy hand.
"Boss, don't worry, I've got this!"
With a grin, Li ng said no more.
Bai Ling was a very special Lizardman.
It would be a sha if he died due to carelessness.
After so instructions, Li ng set off.
He sprinted northward.
Wherever he passed, a long-lasting ice path was left on the water's surface.
Watching the boss's figure fade into the distance on the water, Bai Ling remained silent.
"Hey, little one, isn't the boss impressive!"
Yue'e murmured, scratching her itchy scales with her short hand.
Her huge eyes stared intently at the boss's receding figure.
"Uh... I guess!"
Bai Ling smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond to the spirit beast.
"Why would the boss take a liking to you weak Lizardn? I just don't get it!"
Yue'e yawned.
She turned over and continued sunbathing.
The spirit beast's complaint left Bai Ling speechless.
Compared to humans, swamp Lizardn are indeed weak.
In the past, there was the Goblin, a barbarian similar to monsters, at the bottom.
But now, Goblins can no longer be considered weak.
"The boss wants to look after you, so I'll help you out. If you encounter danger, just shout 'Yue'e.' Rember to use the Goblin language, or I won't understand."
"I... I got it!"
Bai Ling turned and dived into the water.
Her graceful figure glided along the water's surface towards the tribe.
And so, Li ng used Bai Ling to change the future once more.
------
Northern forest by the Goblin River.
Throne tribe.
Early in the morning, Li ng carried the Dark Elf out of the southern forest of the throne tribe.
"It's the boss, the boss is back!"
The Goblins on the wooden wall spotted the boss erging from the forest.
The wooden wall erupted in noise.
All the Goblins stared fervently at the tall green-skinned figure outside, like dogs who hadn't seen their owner in months.
"What's that the boss is carrying on his shoulder?"
"Don't know!"
"It's dark, doesn't look tasty!"
"But it slls good!"
"Yeah, yeah, slls great."
Listening to the Goblin underlings' exclamations on the wooden wall.
Li ng, carrying the Dark Elf on his shoulder, grinned.
"Hmph!"
At that mont, the Dark Elf on his shoulder let out a soft "hmph."
Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
"Thud!"
The movent on his shoulder prompted Li ng to deliver a swift chop to the back of the Dark Elf's neck.
The Dark Elf's eyes rolled back, and she passed out again.
After five days, this was already the seventh ti.
The day after leaving Black Mountain Swamp, the Dark Elf had woken up.
To keep the Dark Elf compliant.
Li ng could only physically knock the Dark Elf unconscious.
In the wasteland outside the wooden wall, Li ng quickened his pace.
He hurriedly entered the throne tribe through the south gate.
Returning to the throne tribe, Li ng went straight to the throne cave.
In the wooden house, Li ng roughly tossed the Dark Elf onto the bed.
"Take good care of her, don't wake her up, I'll be back soon!"
Faced with the boss's instructions, the female Lizardn in the room quickly nodded.
Several female Lizardn hurried over to the unconscious Dark Elf.
Li ng turned and strode out of the wooden house.
Outside the door, Li ng paused briefly.
"Where's Benben?"
Li ng didn't see Benben outside the house.
The Goblin he asked shrank its neck.
"Boss, Benben is in the Iron Cave, it's been there these days."
Benben in the Iron Cave?
Without saying more, Li ng hurried away.
Leaving the wooden house, Li ng exited the tribe through the east gate.
It wasn't until two hours later that he returned, carrying a large bamboo barrel.
