The Master of Beasts-Chapter 776 - 244: Division
"Just for this little thing!" Shuibing looked at the whirlpool-shaped Innate Fruit in his palm and let out a bitter smile.
These three guys really fought with all their might for their tribes, every move deadly, wishing they could pin you down to the ground and beat you!
"It's understandable, with the Evil Ghost Clan on the brink of extinction, the impure bloodline of the White Tiger Clan, with the youth lacking support, and the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts almost disappearing — how could they not fight desperately?" Chen Jiuge chuckled.
If I had a family to think of, or needed the Innate Fruit, I wouldn't let it go either; even as an exchange item, it's quite a bargaining chip!
"By the way, how are we going to manage these natives? We've only got 30,000 people here this time, we can't use them all to guard these folks, right?" Shuibing frowned.
The 30,000 were not all Heavenly Immortals, most of them were True Immortals. In this unique environment, if the 100,000 natives decided to revolt collectively, without Shuibing and others at the Daluo level stepping in, the 30,000 might not be a match for the natives.
"Don't worry, I have my arrangements. Let's discuss it properly after this is all over," Chen Jiuge smiled lightly.
"Alright."
Chen Jiuge quietly watched the dazzling lights in the rear, pondering in his mind, not knowing how much longer they would fight; it couldn't go on too late!
These natives were forcibly divided and constrained together, already somewhat restless. If it dragged on too long, it might be necessary to kill a few to keep order.
Thinking about the loss of several laborers later, Chen Jiuge felt a bit pained, wasting resources is not a good habit!
"Boom—"
The ground shook, and a long-lasting crack appeared in the sky. Jialouluo's delighted laughter came from afar, "Hahaha, that's more like it, that's more like it!"
"Bai Li, keep going, and Feng Cang, you old thing, you're still holding back a trump card, this is truly interesting!"
Bai Li and Feng Cang didn't reply. This madman, starting to get serious in the fight; if not for the two joining forces, they probably couldn't withstand him, but they must let him know why flowers are so red!
After a while, the completely satisfied Jialouluo and two battered old men returned, with Meng Ze still floating expressionlessly behind the crowd.
"Are you done?" Chen Jiuge hesitated.
"Pretty much, that whole area is full of Spirit Plants of Innate Fruit; besides giving Shuibing one plant, Meng Ze and I will each take 30%, and they will split the remaining 20%," Meng Ze said lightly.
Chen Jiuge looked at Meng Ze with slight surprise, not expecting Jialouluo to agree to split 60% with him, and Bai Li and Feng Cang also agreed to share the remaining 40%!
"Interesting, truly interesting, didn't expect Meng Ze, who surpassed the Daluo barrier, has strength comparable to Jialouluo."
Having assessed the strength of the four in his heart, Chen Jiuge felt reassured.
"Since the Innate Fruit has been divided, what about these natives then? I don't need the Innate Fruit, but I want a large number of natives!" Chen Jiuge reminded.
"No problem at all."
The four had no objection, after all, Sorrowful Girl's strength was well-known among them, moreover, for such trivial matters as natives, it wasn't worth souring relationships.
"I'll make it clear, these natives have different talents, and this area is vast. We'd better develop separately and help each other when encountering difficulties, shall we?" Chen Jiuge proposed.
The five cast meaningful glances at Chen Jiuge simultaneously; separate development, the one with the greatest advantage is undoubtedly Chen Jiuge. With his Beast Taming Ability, it's likely his cultivators wouldn't suffer many losses, and the territory he occupies might be the largest!
"No need for that, after all, you are the City Lord of Star Moon City, we'll follow your lead!" Shuibing said with a subtle shake of his head.
"That's right, no need to separate!"
The refusal of the people left Chen Jiuge slightly disappointed, yet it was within his expectations: "Alright, then together it is. However, you need to follow my instructions. Don't worry, I won't ask you to do trivial things, only asking for your help against strong enemies, how about it?"
"No problem!" Jialouluo was the most straightforward; due to some reasons, the Evil Ghost Clan's leader, Farley, did not enter. Jialouluo didn't want to think too much; the revenue from the Innate Fruit alone was enough for this trip.
"I have no objections either," Feng Cang and Bai Li also agreed. The young elites of the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts and the White Tiger Clan were already few, and following Chen Jiuge seemed better.
The main goal wasn't to reap large gains but to strengthen ties with Chen Jiuge to ensure the tribe's growth.
"We have an agreement, I suppose even if I wanted to set out alone, you wouldn't allow it, right?" Meng Ze said lightly.
For the Nightmare Clan, the strong physiques of these natives are indeed a perfect delicacy. Consuming them massively could result in powerful Nightmare beings. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Nodding slightly at Meng Ze's words, Chen Jiuge indeed felt uneasy about letting the Nightmare Clan act freely.
"Let's leave it at this, but what needs to be clarified still needs to be clarified!"
"As for the ownership of these natives, let's make an initial division!"
"That's fine!"
"Alright!"
Not knowing the contract's changes, nor understanding these natives' talents, besides Chen Jiuge, the others focused mainly on the Tribal Warriors.
Their formidable strength made them potentially valuable forces once subdued.
Only Shuibing noticed that a substantial portion of the natives subdued by Chen Jiuge were children, or youths who had just become Tribal Warriors.
..........
The tribe was divided into five areas — northeast, southwest, and the central spot.
Sitting in the somewhat simple central tent, Chen Jiuge sighed, "Senior Shuibing's foresight is as sharp as ever!"
Xiao Hong sneered, "It's because we didn't bother to hide, even if the others noticed more, they didn't care."
"True, even if they found differences, they probably wouldn't care. After all, we just arrived; more natives could come as expected!" Chen Jiuge shook his head.
"By the way, Akam, do you know of any nearby tribes similar to yours?" Chen Jiuge turned to ask the timid Akam.
"Ah, Master, are you asking me?"
Having made a Heavenly Dao Oath, Akam's life was entirely in Chen Jiuge's hands now, leaving no room for rebellion.
"Who else would I ask!" Chen Jiuge was a bit speechless, these natives might have strong bodies, but their minds were somewhat lacking.
"There shouldn't be any like ours around here." Akam repeatedly shook his head, confident in his strength, claiming invincibility in this area if not for encountering Chen Jiuge and his group.
"None?"
"What about those similar to you?" Chen Jiuge slightly frowned.
"There are, only they're just mountain people, just barely getting by, gathered in dozens or hundreds to just survive." Akam seemed to look down on these people.
"Barely surviving?" Chen Jiuge was surprised; these natives' strength shouldn't be underestimated, at least True Immortal Body Cultivation as adults, yet just barely surviving?
"Yes, the fierce beasts in the mountain are quite formidable. Last time I led a team hunting, we almost didn't make it back!" Akam expressed with lingering fear.
"Oh? Interesting, there are such powerful Spiritual Beasts, never mind, no rush for this."
"Akam, write down the locations of those mountain people's gatherings that you know of!"
"Yes, Master."
"Xiao Hong, the next step depends on you, organize these natives quickly; I need a cannon-fodder force!"
At this moment, Chen Jiuge appeared somewhat cold.
This might be unfair to the natives, but the other cultivators had followed Chen Jiuge for many years, making substantial contributions to Star Moon City, reducing risks for them is what Chen Jiuge should do.
"Rest assured, I'll be swift. However, the City Lord needs to speed up too; the others won't be much slower than us!"
"Moreover, I've noticed through details that this area contains a large number of Spiritual Ores, excellent materials for Artifact Refining, and many rare Spirit Plants are everywhere here; we need to develop them!" Xiao Hong reminded.
"For Spiritual Ores, have Dabai identify them, give him a team to develop on his own!"
"As for Spirit Plants, leave them to Yue Meng."
"Yes, I think so too!"
