The next day after Zhao Hai and Tess’ agreement, Tess announced to his tribesmen that they would be moving to a new place .
This fact made the other DIamond Apes feel somewhat at a loss . They don’t know what’s going on, why would they suddenly move to another place?”
Zhao Hai didn’t participate in this matter . This wasn’t something that needed his help, it was all left up to Tess and the others . The Diamond Ape tribe had already stayed in this place for more than 5000 years . And in these 5000 years, their lives had been calm . Aside from looking for the Divine Artifact as well as the ice beasts, they didn’t suffer any other trouble . It was a sort of mundane heaven, one which had beasts living in it .
And now they were suddenly leaving, this made the minds of the other Diamond Apes turn blank . But Tess told them about the situation of the volcano and compared it to the Black Wasteland . This managed to calm the people down .
Seeing the reactions of the Diamond Apes made Zhao Hai gawk . Then he immediately understood why . They had lived in seclusion for too long that they would find it strange seeing other strangers in their vicinity . If they suddenly come across an assortment of new people, then they might not be able to adapt .
But fortunately, the place where they would be going to was the Black Wasteland . This meant that they would just be moving from their mundane life into a less mundane place but somewhere without wild beasts . Perhaps this was the best result for them .
Tess’ influence in the tribe was very high that after he talked his tribemates through, they started to pack up and prepared to leave .
The things that they focused most was actually their magic beasts, which were the fire rabbits . These magic beasts were quite big, they weren’t much shorter than the argali . It can eat anything and it rarely get sick . It was a very good type of magic beast .

However, when one considers money, these rabbits were inferior to argali . Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted the Diamond Apes to raise argali, not these fire rabbits .
However, Tess words reminded Zhao Hai that the Diamond Apes haven’t raised argali for more than 5000 years . They simply didn’t have the knowledge to herd argali . If Zhao Hai immediately swaps their fire rabbits for argali, then they might find it hard to adapt .
Zhao Hai and Tess stood on the wall and observed the people preparing . After their talk, Zhao Hai told Tess that Iron Mountain Fort would be prepared after three days . Zhao Hai also sent some undead to Green in order to rush the preparations .
Tess and the others were still not finished preparing . They had lived in here for a long time that not even a stick was spared in their packing . Seeing this scene made Tess smile bitterly .
Zhao Hai didn’t care about it too much . These people were just unwilling to give their stuff up due to nostalgia, it wasn’t something strange . Tess sighed and looked at Zhao Hai, “Mister, I think it’ll take two days before they finish packing . If you are in a hurry, I can make them go faster . ”
Zhao Hai faintly smiled and shook his head, “It’s fine . The Wasteland is already prepared . Being late for one or two days wouldn’t matter . Just have them take their time . There’s no need to worry . ”
Tess said, “I’m just afraid that you might miss the chance to get the Beast God’s Spear . ”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the Beast God’s Spear has already been here for 5000 years . If something did happen, one or two days wouldn’t make much of a difference . ”

Tess nodded, then he said, “Mister, the Beast God’s Spear is a very important matter to our tribe . I have a request . If Mister finds the Beast God’s Spear, please bring it to our Diamond Ape tribe first . We’ve sought for this thing for 5000 years, the least we could do is see it with our own eyes . ”
Zhao Hai nodded and, “Patriarch, rest assured . If I do retrieve the Beast God’s Spear, I’ll go back to this volcano and show it to you so you could perform a ritual . ”
Tess nodded, he hadn’t requested Zhao Hai about doing a ceremony at the volcano because it was already too much to ask for . Therefore, the only thing he could ask was to see them Beast God’s Spear .
Zhao Hai understood Tess’ mood . This was their tribe’s obsession for 5000 years . If Tess doesn’t see it, then he might carry this regret for the rest of his life .
Sure enough, just as Tess had thought, the Diamond Apes took two days before they finished packing . After all of them had prepared, Zhao Hai immediately went out of the city and opened a huge spatial rift that allowed the people to get through it .
The people couldn’t help but get surprised upon seeing the spatial rift . But they still obediently walked through it . What made them surprised was the fact that Tess was not present . But fortunately, the other elders were there to guide them .
It didn’t take a long time for the people to pass through the spatial rift . And when they emerged, they immediately saw Tess . As it turns out, Tess was the first one that passed through the rift .
Along with Tess, there were also some slaves as well as Giant Horned Bulls on the other side . These people would help the Diamond Apes get settled in .
The Diamond Apes looked curiously at the Giant Horned Bulls . The Giant Horned Bulls were very enthusiastic . Almost all of the Beastmen knew about the exiled Royal tribe, now they had finally seen what they looked like .
However, the Giant Horned Bulls also knew the importance of the current matter . Therefore, they didn’t say a lot of words to the Diamond Apes . They just led the Diamond Apes to the place that was prepared for them . The place where they’ll go to was very close to the Giant Horned Bulls . This was because the Bulls would be the people who would teach the Diamond Apes about the life in the Black Wasteland .
The Diamond Apes received their tents according to their families . It was great that Beastman tents were very tall and spacious, which allowed the Diamond Apes to stay in it .
The Diamond Apes looked curiously at their new home . They had discovered that everything that they would need was already provided . There were even some ironware that they hadn’t seen before, this made them feel very excited .
Soon, the 100 thousand people had arrived at the camp . Tess and the elders also helped them settle in quickly . Green and Merine came as well along with a lot of slaves . The most important thing for these Diamond Apes was to get used to meeting new people . These were people that they would have to come in contact frequently in the future .
Zhao Hai had also started to improve the Wasteland this year . And now that Cai’er has levelled up, she had extended her branches slowly . In the end, she had surrounded the Iron Mountain as well as the middle part of the Black Wasteland . In this way, it won’t be very cold here even in the winter . This also allowed plants to grow normally, increasing the yearly yield of the land .
Cai’er didn’t have anything to say about this . She was a plant type magic beast . And all of the plant types can do this when they reach a high enough level . And now that she has been upgraded further, this matter was not even a problem for her . Now, one could see a beautiful ring of flowers around the Iron Mountains . These branches belong to Cai’er . She can use this to absorb energy from the land . Not only would it affect her cultivation, it would also provide more nutrition for her, which was one of her most important ability in order to survive as a magic beast .
This was also Zhao Hai’s consideration for Tess’ tribe . Although they can survive in the current Black Wasteland, on shouldn’t forget that they had been living in a volcano for 5000 years . They weren’t used to having seasons . If winter suddenly arrives, then it would be troublesome for the Diamond Apes .
Regarding the arrival of the Diamond Apes, Robert and Evan couldn’t help but get surprised . There were once Great Patriarchs who governed land with a border with the Beastmen . Because of that, they also collected a lot of materials regarding the history of the Prairie . The matter of the Diamond Apes wasn’t a huge secret among the Beastmen . They were basically a royal tribe that was exiled to the Northern Icefield . When they went to the Icefield, nobody was expecting them to survive . But who would’ve thought that Zhao Hai would bring them here .
Evan and Robert didn’t know about the true reason why the Diamond Apes were sent to exile . In fact, most Beastmen didn’t know either . However, they were now more surprised about Zhao Hai’s abilities .
Settling 100 thousand people was no small matter . But since Green and the others had already done it for more than one time, they knew what to do . Because of their experience, there weren’t any mistakes in the process . And adding on to the fact that they had prepared, the Diamond Apes were settled quickly .
100 thousand people might sound many, but when one divides them into households, the unit number would be reduced to 30 thousand . Settling them up was much easier than they thought .
Zhao Hai also lended a hand in settling the Diamond Apes . Whatever the Diamond Apes needed, Zhao Hai would fulfill it immediately . He already had a lot of things in his Space, common necessities wouldn’t be a problem .
When the curtain of night fell down, the Diamond Apes were finally settled in nicely . Zhao Hai and the others also relaxed . However, Zhao Hai knew that settling down was not this easy . These Diamond Apes might be unable to adapt to their new life and would take a long time before they get familiar with the place . It was just like when the Giant Horned Bulls had come here for the first time .
However, this time was also not the same . Now, there were Giant Horned Bulls present in order to teach the Diamond Apes . Compared to when the Giant Horned Bulls’ arrival, the current situation was much better .
It took three days before the Diamond Apes had finally reached their new home . Zhao Hai also sent some argali and bulls . With the help of the Giant Horned Bulls, the Diamond Apes would slowly learn how to herd them .
At this time, Zhao Hai returned to the Northern Icefield . It was time to unearth the place’s secrets!
