Chapter 511 – Prairie Wolf Tribe

Buzeer reminded Wales because he was afraid that Wales would turn hotblooded and would participate in the war. If that happens, the losses to the Herculean Bulls would worsen. By then, the power of the Cow-headed race would decrease which wouldn't be a good thing for the Dog-headed Race.

Buzeer didn't expect that Zhao Hai had already reminded Wales. In all honesty, Buzeer was still on guard against Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's emergence was too coincidental. He appeared just as the Herculean Bulls suffered a tragedy. Moreover, Wales, who had a good relationship with him, became the Patriarch, turning him into the tribe's Foreign Prince. One could say that the one who benefited the most from the Herculean Bull's tragedy was Zhao Hai. This made Buzeer suspect him.

However, the two matters that happened today made Buzeer erase his suspicions. First, he informed them about the possibility that the Radiant Church might have been the one behind the food shortage. Even if they still hadn't confirmed it, he was still thankful to Zhao Hai.

Secondly, Zhao Hai had actually reminded Wales to not participate greatly in the war. From this point, Buzeer could see that Zhao Hai really cared about the Cow-headed race. Otherwise, he wouldn't remind Wales.

After thinking about this, Buzeer looked at Wales and said, "Wales, in two days I'll have Buffon bring Zhao Hai to meet with the Bear Clan. Are you going with them?"

Wales shook his head and said, "I can't go with them, uncle. There are too many things to take care of back at the camp. I want to go back and deal with them, instead, I'll have sixth brother accompany Zhao Hai."

Buzeer, who was familiar with the Herculean Bulls, understood what Wales was talking about, so he nodded and said, "Alright, two Princes going together would be enough to show your sincerity. Right, since you have a lot of things to do, you can head back tomorrow. I'll have Buffon guide Little Hai and Little Six to the Bear Clan."

Wales nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble uncle."

Buzeer smiled and said, "This is just a small matter, there's no trouble caused. Right, since you came here today, let's go have a drink!." Wales nodded, and then followed Buzeer as they headed out.

The Tribe Patriarchs of the Dog-headed race didn't leave. They had set down some blankets and tables outside to drink and chat. There was also some Argali being roasted, this was already quite a luxurious feast for the Beastmen.

When these people saw Buzeer come out, they greeted him with a smile. Buzeer also greeted them and sat beside the table along with Zhao Hai and Wales.

At this time, the Argali has been roasted. Buzeer raised his glass and said, "There has been a great shortage of food for all of the Beastman race, and our Dog-headed race isn't an exception. Fortunately for us, Little Hai has food and was willing to sell them to us at a low price. This is a huge help for us. Moreover, he is also a Prince of the Cow-headed race. Our Dog-headed Race has been in good relations with the Cow-headed race for many generations. So we shouldn't treat Little Hai as an outsider, consider him as someone from our own side. Everyone should take care of him."

These Tribe Patriarchs loudly cheered. Actually, they didn't really need Buzeer's words since they had already acknowledged Zhao Hai. Since Zhao Hai has food, even they would want him to be a Foreign Prince of their tribe.

Then it was now time to drink. When among Beastmen, it would be impossible for someone to refrain from drinking. If you don't drink, then you wouldn't be considering their face. So whether you like it or not, you would have to drink.

Therefore, it wasn't a surprise that Zhao Hai was drunk once again. But even if he was drunk, he immediately sobered up inside the Space. After drinking two cups of Spatial Water, he was back to being functional again.

At this time, everyone was sitting in the living room. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, "We may come in contact with a Beastman Warring Clan in the next few days. I really want to see how formidable these Warring Clans are."

Laura smiled faintly and said, "Warring Clans of the Beastmen have a very huge reputation in the Continent. I heard the things that you had discussed today. Even if the Bear Clan had some losses in the precious years, their fighting power still remained. They had also recovered somewhat in those years. At the same time, they are the simplest and the most honest Beastmen. It would be very good if we get into good terms with them."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's very good to be in a good relationship with the Beastmen. What they didn't lack here in the Prairie are Magic Beasts. Now that we have our own meat processing factories, all of those Magic Beasts would be very useful for us."

The group nodded, then Lizzy said, "Elder Brother Hai, from my experience with the Beastmen these past few days, I've come to find that getting along with them is much easier than with Humans. I think we should focus our operations in the Prairie."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've also thought about that, but it can't be that easy. If we really occupy the Beastman Prairie’s business, a lot of people would go and attack us. This is because we would be getting in the way of these people's livelihood."

Lizzy smiled and said, "I know about this point. But if the entire Prairie is huge, we can't swallow all of the businesses here. We can also use this opportunity to establish relationships with the Beastmen. When the time comes, we can seize the bulk of the trade in the Prairie. As long as we allow others to have a small share of the business, the Nobles would have no reason to collectively attack us. We can just deal with them one by one."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's that, but I think we should wait and see how the Bear Clan sees us. The Bears are a big Warring Clan, it is very important for us to gain their trust."

Laura and the others nodded, then Zhao Hai looked at the weather and said, "It's already quite late. My ladies, any of you want to accompany me to bed?"

The faces of the women turned red, they couldn't bear with Zhao Hai's shamelessness as they turned around and returned to their rooms. Zhao Hai smiled and then headed towards Lizzy's room.

The next morning, Zhao Hai went out of the Space quite early. Lizzy woke up much later because Zhao Hai had loved her heavily last night. When Zhao Hai was finished, he then went back to his own room and slept soundly.

After having their breakfast, Wales bid Zhao Hai farewell since he needed to head back to the Herculean Bull's main camp. He can only leave Zhao Hai and Mendez behind.

When he received Buzeer's order, Buffon immediately let of of what he was currently doing. He also had quite a few things to take care of at the Mastiff camp, but he had decided to hand them over to others.

While Zhao Hao stayed in the Mastiff camp for another day, he left behind the food that they required. He also left some daily necessities behind, gaining the gratitude of the Mastiffs.

The things that he had left behind were quite a lot, making these Dog Tribes happy. The Tribe leaders even competed as to which of them gets to trade with Zhao Hai first.

Naturally, Zhao Hai wasn't impolite with these people. He just talked with them politely and took note of the locations of their camps.

The next day, Zhao Hai and Buffon's group left the camp. Their numbers weren't that many, only about 1000 people; 500 of them were from the Herculean Bull Tribe while the remaining 500 were from the Dog-headed Race.

The path between the Dog-headed Race and the Bear Clan wasn't very far from the camp of a Wolf-headed race Branch, the Prairie Wolves.

The Prairie Wolves were a relatively large and strong branch of the Wolf-headed Race. Since they were close with the Dog-headed Race and the Bear Clan, the three of them had a good relationship with each other. But the relationship between the Dog-headed Race and the Bear Tribe was much better.

The Dog-headed race didn't like to mingle with the Prairie Wolves. This was because the Prairie Wolves were one of the top Tribe within the Wolf-headed Race. Therefore, every time the Dog-headed Race and the Prairie Wolves come in contact, the Prairie Wolves would always look at them condescendingly. This made the Dog-headed Beastmen uncomfortable, especially the arrogant Mastiff Tribe.

The strength of the Mastiffs weren't any less than the Prairie Wolves. It wasn't even a problem for one Mastiff to face several Prairie Wolves. It was precisely because of this that the Mastiffs cannot bear with the haughty attitude of these Wolves.

The Wolf-headed Race's domain was a very large one, they were also the Beastmen who hated Humans the most. Because of this, only a rare few humans would be allowed to trade with them. This made the food scarcity in the beginning of the years hit them the hardest. So in addition to their miniscule trades, they also steal food from merchant caravans. At the same time, they were also the most meat-eating race in the entire Prairie.

Because the Wolf-headed race always lacked food in the beginning of every year, they would have no other choice but to eat the Argali that they raise. Even if they eat a ton of Argali every year, this didn’t make the other Beastmen envy them, it was because this very act made them the poorest race in the entire Prairie.

However, one had to recognize that the Wolves were the most tenacious Race among the Beastmen. The weapons that they use were mostly made of animal bones. The clothes that they wear were all animal skins. They were able to stomach even the most nasty grain and meat.

Moreover, they were also the most annoying Warring Clan to fight against, it was because their battle prowess was just too strong. When a Wolf King issues an order, as long as he didn't die and hadn't ordered retreat, their entire force would continue to attack non-stop without retreating even one step.

All of the Beastmen gave the Wolf-headed race face, especially their Royal Tribe, which were the Snow Wolf Tribe. The tribe lived near the North Polar Icefield, one of the few Beastmen who lived there. Their fighting strength can only be described as terrifying. They almost didn’t eat grain, only meat. At the same time, given their harsh environment, almost every member of the tribe were capable of fighting.

The only Beastmen capable of contending with the Snow Wolves, were the Polar Bears and the White Tigers, which were also residing near the North Polar Icefields. The three of them were the most famous and strongest tribes among the Beastmen.

Like the Wolf-headed Race, the Bear-headed Race and the Tiger-headed Race were Warring Clans. Although each of them were grouped up into their own races, the territory that they held wasn't in a single area, instead, they had a lot of domains in other areas. The domain of the Cow-headed Race simply cannot be compared with them.

For example, the domain of the Prairie Wolves aren't any smaller than the Cow-headed race. But the Cow-headed Race is an entire race, while the Prairie Wolves were just one branch.

Chapter 512 – Wolf King

Traversing through the Prairie Wolf domain would take five days, if one evades every camp it would take eight.

Buffon didn't want to come in contact with the Prairie Wolves, so he had already planned eight days worth of travel through the Prairie Wolf domain. In any case, travelling a few days more didn't matter, this matter wasn't very urgent.

With Buffon, their travel went by smoothly. In a blink of an eye, four days had passed. They were now in the heart of the Prairie Wolf domain, so they needed to be extra careful.

A couple of days ago, Buffon can still stay inside Alien and drink alongside Mendez. But this time he can't, he was outside and was paying attention. These Wolves were arrogant, but if they dared offend Buffon's group, then they won't be polite.

Zhao Hai was sitting in Alien's separate room and was working with Laura to deal with some of the Markey Family and the Golden Island's affairs.

There were now a lot of Merchants on Golden Island. Although the Rosen Empire had cut off all the trade routes towards the Aksu Empire, the Lyon Empire, Buddha Empire and the Ocean Waves Dynasty still needed a place to trade in. Adding on to the fact that Golden Island was the place where pirates sell their loot, making the prices cheaper, the Merchants cannot help but try their hand at business there.

Even if Kun was there to manage the island, he had stated that he cannot manage it forever. Therefore, there were a lot of matters that were passed over to Laura and Zhao Hai to manage.

At this time, Mendez was also right beside Buffon outside. He hadn't been to the Prairie Wolf territory before, in fact, he rarely left the Cow-headed Race's domain.

The Wolf-headed race didn't have a lot of friends among the Beastmen. Few people wanted to befriend them because of their ruthless nature. A lot of people didn't dare to speak badly of the Wolves to their faces, but they do so in secret.

Regarding the Wolves, Zhao Hai didn't have much of a dislike towards them. The Wolves' methods were just somewhat more extreme, if one compared them to those truly wicked humans, they would look cute.

While they were traversing, a sudden howl was heard. Buffon's face changed as he issued a command, "Stop! The Wolves has come. Everyone be careful." When Zhao Hai heard this, he walked out of Alien and stood on its head. He then gazed towards the direction where the wolf howl came.

Buffon knew the Wolves, if they didn't stop, then they would be attacked. The howl was just a warning to make them halt their advance. If they chose to ignore it, then they would get into trouble.

Quite some time after the group came to a stop, they could see a group of cavalry in the distance. The mounts of these cavalry were giant wolves with three meters in height. Those mounted on top of them were people with Wolf heads and were about 2.5 meters in height.

This was Zhao Hai's first time meeting someone from the Wolf-headed race. They had big wolf heads and had much fiercer appearances than even the fiercest Dog-headed Beastman. Their eyes seemed to be half-open and half-closed. But their eyelids would occasionally move, making people feel a chill.

These cavalry were all dressed in animal skins. Although they were tall, all of them were very skinny. They were so skinny that it looked like they didn't have a bit of fat. The muscles under their skins looked like iron bars, one could see how strong they were. Meeting them can make people unconsciously step back, they seemed to always be on the verge of attacking. Zhao Hai couldn't help but raise his vigilance towards them. They feel like the Undead; aggressive, organized, and made people not dare to look down on them.

The Wolves stopped five meters away from Zhao Hai's group. Then one of them went forward and looked at Buffon, "Buffon, why did you come to our territory? You also have some Herculean Bulls with you? And even Humans?"

Buffon looked at the Wolf-headed Beastman and faintly smiled, "I turns out to be Seventh Highness. How are you? Is it your patrolling shift today?"

The Wolf Beastman seems to not buy Buffon's politeness, his eyes opened slightly and said, "Buffon, you still haven’t answered me. Why are you here?"

Buffon smiled faintly and said, "Seventh Highness, we are just passing by. We have something to do with the Bears."

Then the Wolf beastman looked at the Herculean Bulls and Zhao Hai and then said, "Going to the Bears along with the Herculean Bulls and Humans? What are you going to do?"

Even if the Wolf acted impolitely, Buffon seem to be used to it as he smiled and said, "It's not that serious, we just heard that the Bears were having a food shortage. This is Zhao Hai, the Foreign Prince of the Herculean Bulls. He's a big grain merchant, he has food in his hands. I just want to bring him to the bears and see if they want to buy some food."

As soon as the Wolf Beastman heard Buffon, his eyes fully opened, then he stared at Zhao Hai and asked, "You have food?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I do"

Through the conversation between the Wolf Beastman and Buffon, Zhao Hai had understood the Wolves. They weren't really dissatisfied with people, they were just used to speaking impolitely. They don't know how to communicate with people, and they didn't like to be polite either, they wanted to be more practical. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't waste any words when he answered.

The Wolf Beastman sized Zhao Hai up and said, "Where are your goods?"

Zhao Hai patted his chest and said, "In my Space Bag."

The Wolf Beastman's eyes lit up and said, "Our tribe wants your food. Just make sure it's price isn't too high."

"This…" Zhao Hai hesitated. Then he turned to look at Buffon and Mendez, who both nodded. The two knew that as long as they get spotted by the Wolves, they would certainly buy some grain. In the Prairie, you can offend any other Beastman, just not the Wolves, they were known to bear a grudge.

Seeing them nod, Zhao Hai turned to the Wolf Beastman and said, "Alright, then please lead the way." The Wolf Beastman nodded then turned around and headed towards the depths of the territory.

Zhao Hai didn't enter inside Alien and just sat on its head. He turned to Buffon and said, "Brother Buffon, who was that person?"

Buffon smiled and said, "He's called Hans. The Seventh Prince of the Prairie Wolves. His fighting strength is formidable, even if he's still young, he's already reached 7th rank. He's the strongest expert in his generation."

Zhao Hai said, "He seems like a very cold person."

Buffon smiled and said, "He seems like it, but Hans is actually a good person. As long as you don't offend the Prairie Wolf Trobe, he will not be unkind to you."

Zhao Hai nodded. It seems like this Hans was just like what he thought. He really wasn't a cold person, he just didn't know how to get along with others.

These Prairie Wolves weren't afraid that Zhao Hai would run away or be unable to follow them. They just stayed in front and had Zhao Hai and the others follow them peacefully.

After walking for three hours, the group could finally see a shadow of a camp. This camp was very big, it looked like a lot of tents interconnected to look like a single huge structure.

Hans didn't stop and went directly into the camp. From what Zhao Hai can see, this camp was just like the camps of the Herculean Bulls and the Mastiffs. But instead of their respective races, the place was filled with Wolf-headed Beastmen.

Although the Dog-headed race and the Wolf-headed race looked quite similar, there were still differences between them. Only a few people can confuse wolves and dogs.

Even if the Prairie Wolves hadn't revealed any hostility to Zhao Hai, their gazes towards him seem to be cold. Compared to the Dog-headed Beastmen, the wolves held a more aggressive aura in their bodies. This aura didn't come from their expression, but it seems like it was ingrained in their bones.

These Wolves were also very curious about Zhao Hai's group. To them, the group was strange, there was a Dog beastman, Cow beastman and a Human all in one.

The Herculean Bulls, Mastiffs, and Prairie Wolves were familiar with each other. Therefore, the Wolves knew that among this group, a royal from both races was present. So they knew that they cannot easily offend this group.

The Human, on the other hand, was a rare sight. This was because Humans rarely traded with their tribe. And in most cases where it didn't go well, the Wolves would just kill them.

Zhao Hai and the others stopped after arriving outside a golden tent. Hans entered the tent and before long came out again. He looked at Zhao Hai's group and said, "Father invites you in." Then the three people nodded and entered the tent with Hans.

Compared to the golden tents of the Herculean Bulls and the Mastiffs, the golden tent of the Prairie Wolves was quite simple. The ground was covered with beastskin, and it had a fire pit in the middle. There weren't any tables nor any decorations in the tent, the only other thing inside was an old wolf that was sitting on a chair.

After Hans entered the tent, he stood beside the old Wolf Beastman. The Old Wolf's build was quite similar to Hans. Although he looked thin, one could see his hardened interior. Even if he had wrinkles in his face, they grew in a way that he seemed to be much more imposing.

The three immediately gave a salute to the Old Wolf at the same time, ""This one has seen the Wolf King.""

The Old Wolf nodded, then he scanned the three, he stopped his gaze at Buffon and said, "You are Buffon? How is your father?"

Buffon quickly replied, "Father is fortunately well."

The Old Wolf nodded, then he turned to Mendez and said, "You're a Herculean Bull? I heard that you Herculean Bulls had suffered a disaster last year."

Mendez gave a bow and said, "Herculean Bull Prince Mendez has seen the Wolf King. Our tribe did indeed suffer a disaster in the winter of last year. The Fighting Bulls and the Radiant Church colluded to overthrow our tribe. Fortunately we managed to eliminate them."

As soon as he Old Wolf heard Mendez, his eyes lit up and said, "You eliminated the tribe? Good. Who is the Herculean Bull Patriarch right now?"

Mendez quickly answered, "It's my brother, Wales."

Chapter 513 – Dog-headed Race's Friendship Flag

The Old Wolf nodded and said, "Your brother is quite the character. I also know about the Fighting Bulls, their strength isn't weak. Adding the support of the Radiant Church, it was a surprise that you managed to eliminate them in a short time. That's a great feat."

Mendez smiled faintly and said, "We're lucky to have the Mastiff tribe and our Foreign Prince's help. Because of that, we managed to deal with the Fighting Bulls quite quickly."

The Old Wolf looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You are Zhao Hai? The Foreign Prince of the Herculean Bulls?"

Zhao Hai felt some pressure from the Old Wolf, but he wasn't bothered by it. He faced 9th rank experts before, so how could he care about the old Wolf. He just smiled and said, "I am indeed Zhao Hai."

The Old Wolf King stared at Zhao Hai. When Buffon and Mendez met his gaze, they would express slight hints of fear, but this Zhao Hai was completely calm. This made the Old Wolf King interested in this Human.

After looking at Zhao Hai for quite some time, the Old WOlf King said, "Good, good. A Human becoming a Beastman tribe's Foreign Prince, you're methods are quite good."

Zhao Hai faintly smiled and said, "The Wolf King overpraised me, I had no good methods. I'm nothing more than Brother Wales' brother. I just gave the Herculean Bull tribe a helping hand when they got into trouble. They liked what I did so they decided to make me their Foreign Prince."

The Old King looked at Zhao Hai and then smiled, "Young man, no need to downplay yourself. It's impossible for a Beastman tribe to give the position of Foreign Prince casually. You surely gave them a huge helping hand. Hehehe. Right, I heard that you have a lot of food?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I do. But the food in my hands is somewhat special. It is not the ordinary Bamboo Rice, but the never before seen Bread Fruit."

The Wolf King looked at Zhao Hai and then said, "Take one out, let me see." Then Zhao Hai nodded, he turned his hand as a Bread Fruit appeared before handing it over to the Old Wolf King.

The Old King tasted the fruit, then gave it to Hans. He turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Price?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "A fourth of the price of Bamboo Rice."

The Old King stared, then his eyes looked straight into Zhao Hai, "You're not joking? A fourth of the price of Bamboo Rice?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare joke with the Wolf King. Moreover, I don't joke when it comes to business. The Wolf King doesn't need to doubt me."

The Old Wolf King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "If what you said is true, we want every Bread Fruit that you have."

Zhao Hai looked at the Old King and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid the Wolf King's tribe cannot consume them all. Tell me how much you need and then I'll give them to you."

When he heard Zhao Hai, the Old King's expression couldn't help but change. He thinks that Zhao Hai was looking down on him, his anger couldn't help but seep out as he said, "100 million jin."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "No problem. I have the Bread Fruit in my Space Bag, I can give them to you later. The Wolf King can rest assured, you can have them as long as there is a suitable place to store them."

The Old King looked at Zhao Hai, he knew that even if those Bread Fruits aren't very big and heavy, when its pulp turns into bread, the 100 million jins would turn into hundreds of millions of jins worth of food. Can Zhao Hai really have it ready at any time?

The Old King said, "You're serious?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly, "I won't dare crack a joke. I truly have it in me. I'll let the Wolf King know that my territory produces these Bread Fruits. Moreover, the output of each tree is very high. For me, 100 million jin isn't a lot. If the Wolf King wants more, I can provide you with 1 billion jin, I'll give you 400 million jin first and then deliver the other 600 million jin five days later. You should know that the Space Bag has a limit. Although I have a lot of them with me, I cannot have that many in hand."

The Old King looked at Zhao Hai and then laughed, "Good! Alright, let's go with what you said, we'll buy 1 billion jin of the fruit, according to the price that you stated. But I don't have much Argali in my hands, I can trade with you using gold and silver, do you agree?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That is not an issue. But I have some special requests. I want to collect unique Magic Beasts, if the Wolf King gives me some Magic Beasts, then I can give you a good discount."

The Old King stared, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What kind of unique Magic Beasts?'

Looking at the Old King's face, Zhao Hai knew what he was thinking. In the past, there would be some Humans who would take back Beastman Magic Beasts in order to research the Beastman's cultivation. Although they didn't succeed, the Beastmen still became stricter with regards to this matter.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Some unique Magic Beasts and plants of the Prairie, some unique plants of the Wolf Tribe would be good as well."

The Old Wolf King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I still need to prepare these things. For now, I can pay you with some money, carpets, blankets, and some Argali in advance. What do you think?

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'm not in a hurry. I'll first leave 300 million jin here since I still need to see if the Bear Tribe needs some food for themselves."

The Old King laughed and said, "That stupid Bear would surely want some. Young Man, I can confidently tell you that your Bread Fruit wouldn't be rejected by any Beastman. Alright, I'll take 300 million jin first. When you go back here in five days, we'll have your payment ready."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "The Wolf king can rest assured, I will certainly return in five days."

The Old Wolf King nodded, then he turned to Hans and said, "Hans, we'll go have a drink with Zhao Hai and Buffon's group today. Prepare everything."

Hans nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai's group before leaving the tent. Zhao Hao and the other naturally gave their gratitude towards the Wolf King.

After a day with the Prairie Wolves, Zhao Hai's group proceeded to head towards the Bear Tribe's domain. But this time, they had more guards at their side, they were Prairie Wolf Cavalry.

Zhao Hai didn't mind them. At this time, Zhao Hai's focus was on the Space as he counted the Bread Fruits in his storage. In truth, the number of Bread Fruits that Zhao Hai had was really huge. There are billions of tons of them, take note, tons not jin.

If he wasn't afraid of frightening the Beastmen, he would’ve given everything to the Old Wolf King in one go.

Because they didn't need to take detour, they arrived at the Bear domain two days later. Upon arriving at the border, the Prairie Wolves turned back. Although one can say that the relationship between the Bears and the Prairie Wolves was quite good, it still wasn't a good idea to intrude upon their territory since it may cause a misunderstanding.

After saying their farewells to Hans, Zhao Hai and the others officially entered the Bear Tribe's domain. This Bear Tribe wasn't the Bear-headed Race's Royal Clan, but was instead a branch, they were the Black Bear Tribe.

The Black Bear Tribe was also a Warring Clan of the Bear-headed Race, their strength was just next to the Royal Tribe, the Polar Bear Tribe. Like the Snow Wolf Tribe, the Polar Bear Tribe also resided in the North Icefields. Their strength being the strongest.

Even if the Black Bear Clan wasn't the Royal Tribe of the Bear-headed race, their strength was still very formidable. Because of this, the prestige of their tribe was very high. There weren't any members of the Beastman Race that would dare to disrespect them. The words of the Black Bear Tribe carry plenty of weight in the Bear-headed Race.

The Black Bear Tribe wasn't a very hot tempered race. The Human's view of them being very violent was completely wrong. In fact, the Black Bears were usually very warm, and with their clear eyes, one could tell that they were very simple and honest. This also contributed to the Black Bears' good reputation in the Prairie.

It was the Humans deceiving the Black Bears that made the Beastmen very discontented with the Humans. And adding on to the fact that the Humans had always sold them food at a high price, this made the Beastmen receive Humans very badly. This sentiment may have possibly been received by the humans, thus explaining the food shortage this time.

But Zhao Hai didn't know about this, he just felt that the food shortage was the work of someone in the shadows. Whether they were the Radiant Church or not was still left for investigation.

When they entered the Black Bear Tribe's domain, Buffon immediately relaxed. Then he and Mendez entered Alien to share some drinks along the way.

Zhao Hai naturally wouldn't reject them, so he took out some liquor as well as some snacks that he got from the Rosen Empire. He can now have these snacks whenever he wants since there were now stores specialized in selling these items on Golden Island, he also heard that their business was good. Since Kun, Blockhead and Rockhead were aware of his matters because of the Space, they immediately had some snacks sent over to Zhao Hai's office. Zhao Hai can then use the Space to get those snacks and had them served to Buffon and Mendez.

After having everything prepared, the group poured themselves a cup of liquor. Zhao Hai then turned to Buffon and said, "Brother Buffon, tell me about the Black Bear Tribe. They aren't as cold as the Prairie Wolves right?" In Zhao Hai's eyes, the Wolf-headed races can be said to be cold. They had their eyes partially closed, as if afraid that they might kill a person when they opened them fully. With their indifferent looks and the external appearance, if there were people to be described as cold inside the Prairie, then it would be the Prairie Wolves.

Buffon smiled and said, "Rest assured, the Black Bear Tribe is very hospitable. They're quite simple and honest. When you go visit them, they would surely give you the best reception that they can offer. I'm actually afraid that even if they are starving and were barely eating, they would still butcher a beast to welcome us. Naturally, all of these were in the premise that you are their friend. If you are an enemy, then their spiked maces would surely greet your face. Their spiked maces are one of the most feared weapons among the Beastman Race."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I really didn't think that getting along with the Bear tribe would be so easy. Right, sixth brother, why didn't you tell the Old Wolf King about our suspicions regarding the Radiant Church's hand in the food shortage? Are you afraid that they won't help?"

Mendez smiled and said, "The Wolf-headed race are even vigilant towards other Beastmen, so we can't just tell it to them directly. We should take this matter slowly." Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything more. From what he understood of the Prairie Wolves, they would certainly think lowly towards Mendez and the other Beastmen.

Buffon also smiled and said, "That doesn't really matter, as long as we help the Black Bears, then everything would be fine. The Prairie Wolves are just too vigilant towards other people, it would need a long time before they see you as a friend. Look, even if you provided them with 1 billion jin of food, they still didn't give you their friendship flag."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Then Brother Buffon, why didn't your Mastiff race give me your friendship flag? I gave you fairly the same conditions."

Buffon gave a bitter smile towards Zhao Hai, "You don't need to waste words. Do you really think that we don't want to give a friendship flag to you? Father actually wanted to give you our flag, but he was afraid of opposition. But as long as you stay and trade with us for a few more times, Father would take responsibility and hand you our Dog-headed Race's friendship flag."

Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he asked Buffon for clarity, "Brother Buffon, did you just say the Dog-headed Race's friendship flag? Not the Mastiff Tribe friendship flag?" After being with the Beastmen for this long, he knew that there were differences between friendship flags. The Dog-headed Race's friendship flag was very different from the Mastiff Tribe's friendship flag.

The Mastiff Tribe's friendship flag refers to the Dog-headed Race's royal clan's friendship flag. This flag only represents the Mastiff Tribe, but the Dog-headed race's friendship flag represented the entire Dog-headed Race. For this flag to be given to a person, it would need the approval of 60% of the Dog-headed Race's branches. With the process of how this flag is given, one could see how important it was.

The Friendship flags of the Big Bellied Pig Tribe and the Giant Horned Bull Tribe that Zhao Hai acquired in the past only represented his good relations with those two tribes. The weight of those flags cannot be compared to the Dog-headed race's friendship flag. If Zhao Hai gets ahold of that friendship flag, it would mean that he would be a friend of the entire Dog-headed Race. People who disrespect Zhao Hai would be similarly disrespecting the entire Dog-headed Race. This matter might even lead to a war in the Prairie.

Because he knows about the implications, Zhao Hai asked Buffon to clarify. Buffon understood why Zhao Hai asked his question, he smiled to Zhao Hai and said, "Of course its the Dog-headed Race's friendship flag. Why do you think the leaders of the tribes were present with father when you arrived at our camp? When you entered our domain, father immediately sent word to summon the tribe leaders. Father wanted them to see your performance. Fortunately, you did great. I heard from father that it wouldn't take a long time before our Dog-headed Race's flag ends up in your hands."

Zhao Hai was so happy he almost cheered. Seeing Zhao Hai's expression, Mendez smiled and said, "Little Hai, you're really luck kid. Do you know why the relationship between the Cow-headed Race and the Dog-headed race is very good? It's because we mutually guard each other's friendship flag. With our flags, you can almost walk sideways in the Prairie."
