I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

The Black Scale Witch possesses a large number of level four and even level five warriors, and has over eight thousand members in the Black Scale Tribe, yet he has not yet broken through to the next level.

It was clear that even if Jiang Ning disbanded the Jiang tribe, it would be impossible for him to make a breakthrough with only the small number of people in the Tianlang tribe.

Whether they are Sirius or from other tribes, they are all ultimately her people. As long as she has the Witch Seal, she can deal with any tribe that harbors disloyalty at any time.

Now, the Jiang tribe has nearly seven thousand people and has spirit crystal mines in hand. The day when they surpass the Black Scale tribe is probably not far away.

By then, it's still uncertain who will be whose pawn.

"Witch, where should the people of the Yingcao tribe be settled?"

Jiang Ning slapped his forehead, realizing he had completely forgotten about it in his excitement.

“The Yingcao tribe doesn’t want to interact with outsiders, so let them live near the Yanhe River. People from other tribes won’t go there. Also, let them raise a batch of alien plants to guard the workshops. We can also raise a batch of alien plants around the Jiang tribe to monitor the movements of people from other tribes. Alright, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

The chief agreed, and the two summoned their respective celestial wolves, flying towards the Second Ring Road.

Many people were gathered in the open space, some sitting and some standing, and their battle pets were crowded around them.

Some people's battle pets are extremely large, with one plant taking up a huge area. Others are smaller exotic plants that wrap around the Yingcao tribe members or are placed on their heads.

A child who had gathered around to watch exclaimed, "What a huge tree!" He tilted his head back higher and higher until the back of his head was almost touching his back. He stumbled and almost fell.

Jiang Ning had excellent hearing and happened to hear it. She looked in the direction the child was looking and, without much effort, saw an enormous tree that would take countless people to encircle. She could vaguely see several wooden houses entwined with vines and moss on the tree.

Below are its roots, each one as thick as a giant python, twisted and intertwined together. Perhaps the Jade People had specifically instructed that it would have to be moved to a different spot soon, as it did not penetrate the soil.

Some people were so crowded that they had nowhere to put their feet, so they simply stretched out their arms, and the vines wrapped around their arms snaked up the branches. The vines clung tightly to the thick branches, and then pulled up the other person. They were able to climb the tree by using the vines.

Such an ability would likely provide him with considerable convenience in the jungle.

The man landed lightly on a thick branch and casually pulled another person up from below.

Hongfeng had something to discuss with the chieftain, while Jiang Ning remained seated on Baiya's back, both of them displaying identical curiosity.

Bai Ya, curious, led Jiang Ning around the giant tree, flying upwards as if trying to see just how tall it was.

The higher you go, the more enormous the tree seems.

In such a primeval forest, giant trees are common, with branches so thick that Bai Ya can run on them, but Jiang Ning has never seen a giant tree this big.

The tree canopy is like a giant umbrella, and even though it is late autumn, the canopy is still covered with lush greenery.

Baiya finally flew to the top of the tree. Looking down from there, his attention was almost entirely drawn to the giant tree.

This giant tree was not a single tree; among its countless leaves, one could vaguely see some leaves that were different from the others.

Jiang Ning patted Baiya, stopping it from trying to crawl into the tree canopy.

With so many branches, it wouldn't feel good to get hit in the face by this tree, and Jiang Ning didn't want to suffer.

When Baiya was little, he loved to crawl into the grass. He didn't know what treasures were inside. Jiang Ning had never seen them, and afterwards, she had to go through the trouble of cleaning the grass clippings off Baiya's fur.

When Baiya came of age, he hunted with Jiang Ning. With a wolf in the pack, it became much more obedient, but it still led Jiang Ning to places with many branches.

They located Chief Sirius from the sky; he was with Yingcao Witch.

Jiang Ning landed, letting Bai Ya go and play with her new friends.

"What kind of tree is this?"

Following Jiang Ning's gaze, Yingcao Wu quickly replied, "This is our tribe's White Juice Tree. It has no offensive power, but it grows very fast."

Jiang Ning exclaimed in surprise, "This is the White Juice Tree? It can actually grow this big?"

Yingcao Wu nodded: "We planted many white sap trees outside the tribe, specifically to keep out outsiders. If there is danger, we can also hide in the trees to observe. Our people also like to live in trees. These treehouses probably fell out when we were traveling. They were originally well hidden."

"How did you get over such a big tree?" Jiang Ning asked.

Yingcao Wu looked around and saw that the White Juice Tree area was crowded with people, making a noisy and lively scene.

Finally, he regretfully lowered his searching gaze: "There's nowhere to go now, but you'll see when it leaves. It can gather its roots together and move forward quickly, almost as fast as a ferocious beast. In our haste to come back, we only brought the largest one. But with its strength, it can easily grow a large patch of new trees, although the new ones will just be ordinary white sap trees, which would be fine for building a wooden house."

"Oh?" Jiang Ning asked with interest, "Don't you have a contract for this tree?"

Yingcao Wu shook her head: "No, for us, well... how should I put it, it's just like the stone house you live in, it's just a house. Because of what happened before, if we want to contract alien plants now, they all have to be capable of attack. Moreover, in order not to let the outsiders discover anything unusual, we don't dare to contract those that are of a higher level."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I will have to ask you to plant more exotic plants around the Jiang tribe and in the waters around the Jiang tribe to protect the Jiang tribe. Normally, let them camouflage themselves and then take the enemy by surprise when they come."

Yingcao Wu respectfully replied, "Jiang Wu, you can rest assured. Yingcao Tribe is now a member of Jiang Tribe. Protecting Jiang Tribe is protecting ourselves. Yingcao Tribe will certainly live up to your trust."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I am naturally confident in the capabilities of the Yingcao Tribe."

At this moment, Chief Yingcao arrived with her people. Seeing Jiang Ning there, she was still a little embarrassed. She quickly bowed and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying to the Yingcao shaman, "Shaman, is this what you're looking for?"

With a wave of her hand, the soldiers behind her laid out animal skin bundles on the ground, which were filled with a lot of fruit.

Yingcao Wu nodded: "That's all, you may leave."

Chief Yingcao hurriedly left with her people again. There was still nowhere to put so many people and things in the tribe. She had to stay there and keep an eye on them to prevent them from making any rash moves.

If someone who's just arrived gets into trouble with the Jiang tribe like she did, it won't be good.

Yingcao Wu pointed to the fruits on the ground and said to Jiang Wu, "Witch, are these the fruits you mentioned? These can be processed into the food you described. In winter, we mainly eat these."
