Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

In his opinion, it is better to display it openly than to hide it and make it more obvious.

Doing so not only demonstrates the tribe's honesty and confidence, but also helps to eliminate the other party's doubts and misunderstandings.

Sure enough, when Yabusi and his party arrived at the core protection area and saw with their own eyes a garden full of fluorescent light and abundant fruits, they showed expressions of incredible surprise on their faces.

The information they had tried so hard to obtain was now presented before their eyes so easily.

But this also made them suspicious. Why would the other party display these precious fruits so generously?

Yabusi cast an inquiring gaze towards Yunzhong, trying to catch some clues from his face.

Yunzhong revealed a faint smile and explained with gestures that their tribe had an abundant production of fruits and they could not eat them all.

Therefore, they were willing to take out their excess fruits and exchange them for supplies with other tribes.

This explanation eased the doubts in Yabusi's heart a little, and at the same time, it also found the proposal quite attractive.

They can first exchange for some fruits to enhance the strength of the tribe.

After solving the threat of the merfolk, wouldn't it be easy to occupy this God-given land?

With this idea in mind, Yabusi immediately expressed to Yunzhong his willingness to trade with their tribe.

However, it also made it clear that the matter still needs to be discussed with the tribesmen before detailed negotiations can be carried out.

Although Yunzhong showed some disappointment on his face, he still entertained Yabusi and his party with great enthusiasm.

And when they left, they generously presented ten precious God-given fruits as a sincere expression of their hope for future trade cooperation between the two sides.

After leaving the territory of Shennong, Yabusi tried his best to suppress the strong desire to swallow the ten fluorescent fruits in his arms immediately.

It was immersed in its own thoughts. The smoothness of this journey was beyond imagination, and it could even be said that it far exceeded the initial expectations.

However, it was this excessive smoothness that made it vaguely sense that something was wrong.

As a race with great intelligence, they shouldn't be so unguarded.

Even if they really needed certain supplies and wanted to trade with other tribes, they should not be so eager and calm.

Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this that it doesn't know about?

The territory of the Crowmen is located on the top of a mountain that towers into the clouds.

This rugged and difficult-to-defend land not only has rich animal and plant resources, but also has a huge lake surrounded by mountains.

For the Crow People, it is a unique place to live.

However, this seemingly perfect paradise is not a worry-free place.

A large number of murlocs live on the shores of the lake. They regard the lake as a sacred and inviolable forbidden area and strictly forbid other intelligent creatures, especially crowmen, from setting foot there to hunt.

But to the Crowmen, the exclusive behavior of the Murlocs is absolutely intolerable.

The lake contains extremely rich resources, which are vital to the prosperity and development of their population.

Therefore, the two sides launched a protracted and extremely fierce war for control of this precious lake.

Although the Crowmen have a significant advantage on the battlefields of air and land, the Murlocs counter them with their superior water combat capabilities.

The murlocs not only have superb fighting skills, but also exist in large numbers. They steadfastly guard the lake and rarely leave the water.

This made it difficult for the Crow People to gain any advantage, and the war between the two sides seemed endless, falling into a stalemate.

But at this moment, the turning point finally came.

After listening to Yabusi's report, the Crowmen's high-ranking officials all had smiles on their faces and nodded frequently to show their agreement.

If you can obtain this magical fruit that can enhance your physical fitness through trade, it would naturally be the best choice.

After all, their target is only these magical fruits, not that barren land.

Besides, there are too many variables when using force to fight for it.

Even if we can eventually win, it is likely to cause large-scale damage to this precious plant, which would be more harm than good.

Of course, no matter how many excuses we find, the main concern is still the threat from the merfolk.

If the Crowmen launch an expedition with all their strength, the old and young who stay at home will inevitably be left unprotected.

As their mortal enemies for generations, the fishmen will definitely seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and ruthlessly destroy their nests.

Because of this, they are unable to launch a large-scale expedition before resolving the threat posed by the merfolk.

On the other side, Yun Shan sent a message to Li Ming with some worry, "This group of Crowmen obviously have bad intentions. They will never be satisfied with just taking some of the remaining fruits."

"I'm worried that after they figure out our strengths and weaknesses, they will not hesitate to start a war and forcibly seize this territory. If we trade the fruit that can strengthen the body to them now, aren't we digging our own graves?"

Xingmei and others were also confused by Li Ming's behavior, but they did not ask any questions. They just waited silently for his explanation.

"How could I not know the Crowmen's covetous intentions?" Li Ming responded in a calm tone, "However, it is impossible for them to launch a large-scale war against us in the near future."

Before they could ask any questions, he continued, "I have already carefully investigated before. There are a large number of fishmen living in the territory of the Crowmen."

"The two major tribes are fighting fiercely for control of the lake, and the battle is difficult to resolve. Therefore, the Crowmen will never dare to easily provoke a large-scale war at this stage."

"Now, we are trading some fruits with the Crow People. The main purpose is to temporarily stabilize them, so as to buy more development time for our little geniuses."

"At the same time, by exchanging some necessary supplies, we can also further enhance our own defense capabilities."

Hearing this, Cecily suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "By the way, little man, I have detected an unknown metal mining area and have already mined some samples. How about I have someone bring the samples to you?"

"That's great, please send it over as soon as possible." Li Ming responded, his voice revealing his unconcealed expectation, "If we can successfully create firearms, our safety in the next two to three years will be better guaranteed."

"Are you planning to build a cannon?" Yun Shan asked. "That thing requires explosives to drive it, but we don't seem to have such resources in our territory."

Li Ming replied calmly, "We need the help of the Crow People. There is a fiery hot zone about a hundred kilometers away from their territory."

"When I passed by there before, I found some substances similar to red crystals. They contain huge energy. Using these red crystals as the energy source of artillery is definitely more than enough."

Dongmen Qiansha couldn't help but smile and said, "The Crowmen who live around the lake definitely don't like the hot environment, but for such a precious fruit, it's only natural that they endure a little hardship, right?"
