Chapter 733: Chapter 279: Does It Feel Good When a Long Sword Pierces Through?

“How’s that girl’s mental state?” She said, “If needed, I can provide her with psychological treatment.”

“With the help of the wizard, her emotions have calmed down.”

“That’s good.”

Cruz gazed toward the dense forest in the southwest and told Xu Xingguang: “That group of criminals is hiding in the southwest. We can’t kill them. Miss Xu, if you can capture them, I will give you what you want.”

“I will also try my best to persuade a few other commanders to act with Captain Huo.”

This matter cannot be accomplished overnight.

Xu Xingguang is not in a hurry; she is most eager to obtain the blood sample.

She asked Cruz, “I want to get the blood sample of your wizard. Can you manage that?”

Cruz frowned, “It’s difficult. The wizard is beloved by all the clan members. Wanting his blood is an offensive act, and I can’t promise you.”

But Cruz genuinely wants to help Xu Xingguang and also wants to befriend her. Cruz pondered and said, “I’ll take you to meet him. Whether you can get it depends on your skills.”

“That’s enough.” Xu Xingguang understands and respects the Green Blood Clan’s respect for the wizard, and she won’t put Cruz in a difficult position.

“The southwest, right? I’ll go there now.” Xu Xingguang plans to leave immediately for the southwest to capture that group of criminals and then hand them over to their Alliance Government prison.

But Cruz said, “There’s no rush. Do you want some roast meat? It’s my treat.”

“You probably haven’t tried roasted whole lamb.” Cruz proudly mentioned their tribe’s meat feast.

Nutrients are also the main diet of the Green Blood Clan, but during the summer and autumn, the village holds a meat feast at the end of each month to provide nutrition for the growing children.

There are three principles for jungle hunting.

Do not hunt pregnant beasts, do not hunt young animals, and do not hunt in spring.

Right now, it’s the transition from late spring to early summer, which is also their first hunting action of the year. “Today is the first meat feast of the year; you’re in luck.”

Xu Xingguang has eaten countless delicacies but won’t dampen Cruz’s enthusiasm in this situation.

Xu Xingguang followed Cruz to the tribe’s gathering village, asking along the way, “How much tribute do you pay to the Central Yu Alliance Government annually?”

Upon hearing the question, Cruz’s face turned cold as ice, and she said, “Fifty million silver coins, all precious herbs are tributed. As for prey, seventy percent of the total annual harvest must be tributed.”

“Can’t it be less?”

Cruz shook her head, “No, the Central Yu Alliance Government has set up a monitoring office in each of our tribes, making it hard for us to falsify.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang’s face lost its lighthearted expression. “If the harvest is low and not enough to live on, do you still have to tribute seventy percent?”

“Yes.” Cruz gazed upward at the sky and sneered, “We are just pitiful people renting this land, working for the Central Yu Alliance.”

Xu Xingguang felt suffocated hearing this.

The Green Blood Clan has already become slaves of the Central Yu Alliance Government; the only difference is they don’t wear shackles or chains.

As they walked, Cruz explained the situation of their race to Xu Xingguang.

“The Green Blood people living in the Kenda Mountain Range are divided into three major tribes: the northern Extreme North Tribe, the central Yangguang Tribe, and the eastern Kolon Tribe. Each tribe has a brave clan leader, and we all share the same wizard in faith.”

“I command the Extreme North Tribe, which has a population of two hundred thousand. The village where we are now is called Extreme North Town, with a population of just over thirty-eight thousand. The other tribe members are scattered in small settlements in the surrounding dense forest.”

As they chatted and walked toward the back slope, Xu Xingguang saw a plain and a granary surrounded by high walls after crossing a hilly slope.

There was a bustling crowd on the plain, with barbecue racks set up in the open space. More than thirty black mountain goats were tied to the barbecue racks, already emitting a tempting aroma.

The children were drooling.

The meat feast is held a maximum of eight times a year, meaning they can only eat meat eight times a year. Each time, they don’t eat their fill, only a taste.

Xu Xingguang stood among the crowd, watching those Green Blood people show satisfied expressions just by getting a piece of meat. Her heart felt particularly uncomfortable.

Cruz cut off a third of the meat from a lamb leg and handed it to Xu Xingguang, with a kind smile appearing on her stern face. “I heard life in your Mortal World is also quite difficult. Have you had roast mutton before? Try it.”
