Chapter 160: Are You Coming or Not?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Amang and his group arrived at the Nanxiang gathering place on the night of the 20th day of the Black Mist Calendar.

According to the time estimate, the second batch of Black Feather Tribe members would probably arrive on the night of the 40th day.

Of course, one could not rule out the possibility that the second batch of people might be stronger and move faster. Therefore, from today onwards, Lu Ming had to be on guard.

With concerns on his mind, Lu Ming’s sleep quality was slightly affected during the night.

Fortunately, it did not hinder his training the second day.

Day 36 of the Black Mist Calendar.

Nothing happened.

Day 37 of the Black Mist Calendar

Today, nothing happened.

Till the 40th day of the Black Mist Calendar, nothing happened!

However, Lu Ming did not let down his guard. He remained focused and alert for any potential risks.

Outside the gathering place, where Velo and Fala were located.

As the bonfire flickered, the grandfather and grandson were also discussing this matter.

Vero said, “I’ve sent a message to the tribe, but there’s no one left in the tribe who can come over to support us…”

“Furthermore, the nearby two major tribes have started a war, sigh.”

Velo sighed deeply.

Velo’s original plan was to appear as a savior before the Tribulation Transcenders, boosting his favorability with them.

But now, the strength Lu Ming displayed had already far exceeded Velo’s own, rendering this plan a failure.

Therefore, Velo changed his approach.

Retaliation from the Black Feather tribe was an opportunity for Velo, but relying solely on himself was not enough. He requested support from the tribe, but the Spirit Tribe’s power was too weak, and there were no available experts.

The situation seemed to be at an impasse, but then Fala suddenly spoke up, saying, “I’ve noticed that they’ve been eating exotic beast meat these past few days. Haven’t they heard of black rice?”

Velo was momentarily puzzled, then after brief consideration, he slapped his forehead, exclaiming, ’ Right, this could be a way to approach them!”

He looked at Fala and said, “I plan to do this… and then that…11

Day 41 of the Black Mist Calendar.

In the afternoon.

The Black Feather Tribe had yet to arrive…

On the other hand, the Nanxiang gathering place welcomed two outsiders.

They were Velo and Fala.

Carrying bundles and packages on their backs, the two stood in front of Nanxiang gathering place. Under the gaze of the sentries, they raised their hands, indicating they held no hostile intentions.

Soon, Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu arrived at the city gate.

“Who are you…”

“Traveling Merchants.11

Velo revealed their disguised identity.

The word traveling merchants made Bai Tianyu scratch his head. Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu exchanged glances and asked, “What are you selling?”

Velo smiled, “Crop seeds.”

He received the warm hospitality of the Nanxiang people.

Food was a basic need for the people.

Without food, they would starve to death -it was a universal truth..

Lately, Nanxiang City had indeed fallen into a food crisis.

More than 100,000 people meant more than 100,000 mouths to feed. Even though exotic beasts were rampant in the Black Mist Zone, the consumption of more than 100,000 people was not a small number the nearby Six-legged Wolf Bears were almost hunted to extinction…

Once the exotic beasts around were consumed, they would have to venture further to hunt, and the crisis would escalate exponentially.

But the most crucial problem was not this.

The problem was that the Nanxiang gathering point lacked a sustainable source of food.

Even with Lu Ming’s tolerance, he was about to vomit from eating exotic beast meat every day.

“This is called black rice, with a high yield and fast growth rate, it’s the main crop in the Black Mist Zone.”

“This is called Sky Blue Greens, a vegetable with a large yield.”

“This is the Heartless Fruit, with a sweet taste.”

“This is a Dragon Melon…”

In a vacant house on the edge of rhe gathering place, Velo opened his backpack and took out its contents. He introduced each item to Huo Sheng, Lu Ming, and the others.

Huo Sheng listened carefully and attentively. Each time Velo introduced a crop, Huo Sheng would smile.

“This will solve the major problem!”

Huo Sheng could not help but boast after Velo finished speaking at this moment, he did not care about bargaining strategies.

He was determined to obtain these crop seeds!

“So, how many Source Stones do these resources cost?”

Source Stones, also known as Zombie crystals, were the common currency in the Black Mist Zone.

Velo said, ‘’Using Level 5 Source Stones of the Mortal Realm as a benchmark, 1000 pieces.’1

He had to take the money because the Nanxiang people were newcomers and were very vigilant. If he did not ask for money, it would tantamount to being solicitous for no reason.

Velo’s offer was the market price, and after a moment of thought, Huo Sheng agreed.

Velo continued, “Furthermore, we also offer complementary after-sales services. My granddaughter and I will teach you how to cultivate these crops.”

This was also very important.

Huo Sheng nodded with a smile, “So, what are the charges for this?”

“Well, there’s no need for any charges. It s just that my granddaughter and I have been staying in the wilderness for too long, and our supplies are running low. We’d like to rest here for a while. Is that acceptable to all of you?”

After a brief discussion with Lu Ming, Huo Sheng nodded and said, “Of course, it’s fine.”

Things like Source Stones were not important to Velo.

Complementary services were the most crucial!

With this excuse, Velo could stay in the Nanxiang gathering place and build a good relationship with these new generation Tribulation Transcenders.

More importantly, when the second wave of the Black Feather Tribe attacked, he could act opportunistically.

If rhe strength of the second wave of the Black Feather Tribe was too overwhelming, he would escape with his granddaughter.

If their strength was not very high, he could provide assistance, boosting their impression of him. While this would not garner favorability as high as that of a savior’s arrival, it still would not be low.

The plan was set.

As he was thinking, Lu Ming’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, “Are you selling anything else?”

Velo perked up, “What do you need?’1

“Source Power Skill?1

Velo shook his head, “That thing is very precious. I don’t have it with me.”

In the Black Mist Zone, other than some basic breathing techniques, normal Source Power Skills were all sealed within inheritance orbs.

Source Power Skill held significant value, and Velo would not carry them around casually.

Lu Ming sighed slightly when he heard this and was not too disappointed.

Currently, he was already busy enough just cultivating the Knight Body Forging Technique. For the time being, he did not need to seek out more Source Power Skills.

The arrival of Velo and Fala did not cause much of a stir in the Nanxiang gathering place.

Lu Ming s daily life continued as usual.

Velo and Fala were also awaiting the second wave of attacks from the Black Feather Tribe.

However, strangely enough.

Even until the 50th day of the Black Mist Calendar, there was still no sign of any movement from the Black Feather Tribe. ..

That night, Lu Ming tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

There was only one question in his mind.

“What are these Black Feather Tribe members up to?!”

“Are you guys coming or not?!”

It felt like waiting for a punishment after performing poorly in an exam.

You knew a spanking was inevitable, but you kept waiting and waiting for the outcome…

This torment was truly agonizing!

Elsewhere, Velo was lying on the bed, feeling a bit bewildered.

“Are the Black Feather tribe members still coming?!”

“Damn, the black rice is almost edible! What the hell are you guys dragging your feet for!?’1
