I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

last night,

When Shen Qi first heard Shan Ye say that, he was stunned.

He frowned, then said to Shanye seriously: "I can wait for Chief Shanyan to finish his business, no matter how late it is."

Upon hearing this, Shan Ye sneered and said bluntly: "Go back, Chief Shan Yan will not see you."

"Just inform them for me again, Shanye." Chen Qi did not ask the reason, but just looked at Shanye calmly and said.

Shanye stroked the bone ornaments on the ends of his hair and said slowly: "The weak are as small as ants in the eyes of the strong. Chen Qi, you are not someone who does not understand this truth."

Chen Qi naturally understood this truth, but for the sake of the tribe, he still wanted to try to communicate with Chief Shanyan, hoping to get some clues from him.

After all, he also believed that the Yanyuan tribe had nothing worthy of being coveted by the Shanyan tribe.

More than ten years have passed without any incident. Something must have changed recently that caused this to happen suddenly.

Chen Qi looked at Shan Ye again and asked sincerely, "Shan Ye, considering our past friendship, can you reveal something?"

Seeing that he really couldn't see the leader of the Shanyan tribe, Chen Qi turned to Shanye to inquire.

"Friendship?" After hearing these two words, Shanye lowered his head at first, then smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and quickly continued:

"I told Arthur a long time ago. Didn't he convey my words to you? Even if that big guy is not smart, but Shen Qi, you are not stupid!"

Shen Qi's heart sank when he heard this, he did have a guess.

However, this speculation plunged him into deeper confusion.

The purpose of this trip was to get some information from the chief of the Shanyan tribe to confirm his guess.

Unfortunately, Chief Shanyan was not willing to give him this opportunity.

Chen Qi said coldly, "I'm sorry I can't agree to what Chief Shanyan wants. If I agree to this condition, then our Yanyuan tribe will lose its last hope."

After hearing this, Yamaye did not rush to respond.

Instead, he glanced at Chen Qi sideways, walked a few steps to Chen Qi, lowered his voice, looked at him with a complicated look, and said sternly:

"Chen Qi, who doesn't want their tribe to be passed down for a long time? Who is willing to lose their own people? Who is willing to become a vassal of others? But what can you do?"

The Yanyuan tribe is no longer the original Yanyuan tribe.

Chen Qi instantly raised his eyes, looked directly into Shan Ye's eyes, and said firmly: "Shan Ye, I will not compromise!"

Hearing this, Yamaye was silent for a long time.

After a while,

"Alas... I know that you were once a big tribe. Isn't our Shanqing tribe the same?" Her voice sounded again, with a hint of sadness.

At this point, Yamaye paused, then continued with self-mockery: "I can compromise for the sake of my people, so what are you insisting on?"

Shen Qi did not answer this question.

Sometimes he would ask himself, what exactly is he insisting on?

Why not just join the Rock Tribe? What's wrong with that?

At least some of the tribesmen can have enough food, and some can continue to survive.

But if this happens, the Yanyuan tribe will no longer exist, and all its past history and glory will disappear into thin air.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shanye lowered his eyes and sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Chen Qi, just think of it as me paying you back."

"The Mountain Rock Tribe does need women, and the Mountain Rock Tribe does need warriors, but they don't need useless people. They don't lack useful people now. Do you think he really thinks highly of the warriors of your small tribe?"

Shanye's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the deepest part of Chen Qi's heart.

It is a fact that the Rock Tribe will not accept those who cannot bring them practical benefits.

Chen Qi stood there quietly, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Shan Ye said this and turned away. The last sentence floated into Chen Qi's ears along with the evening breeze:

"When they think you are useless and non-threatening, they don't mind being kind; but once you become useful, you have to be sensible. Chief Shanyan is a kind and friendly chief of the tribe. He is also a leader of the tribe that other chiefs are convinced and willing to submit to. He is also a savior in the eyes of other small tribes in Dusk Mountain Forest."

Chen Qi looked up when he heard that, and saw a man walking towards him while chewing something. After a brief conversation with Shan Ye, the two walked away.

As an indigenous tribe entrenched in the Dusk Mountain Forest, the Shanyan Tribe has always presented itself as a large and friendly tribe to the outside world.

But Chen Qi knew very well that friendliness alone was not enough to allow a small or medium-sized tribe to slowly develop to its current size, nor was it enough to defend the salt mountain.

Not to mention that after hearing these words, Shen Qi's alertness reached its peak.

The Mountain Rock Tribe is not short of useful people...

Chen Qi chewed over Shan Ye's words and quickened his pace on the way back.

So, it’s not as simple as just asking for women and forcing me to lead the warriors to abandon the old men and join their tribe?

So, why do they force the transaction and want to take the women?

Is it to reproduce and continue the bloodline of the clan?

Chen Qi frowned as he thought of this: The Shanyan Tribe has been constantly integrating and assimilating the surrounding small tribes over the years, and the population has become quite considerable. They have no shortage of women who can give birth to new life, nor do they lack warriors. New life is born every year...

This question made Shen Qi fall into deep thought.

If it was just for the purpose of reproduction, then there would be no need for the Mountain Rock Tribe to suddenly take such a move.

So, what other reasons are behind it?
