Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 100 It must be possible, easily possible

Considering that the three giant beasts, especially the blue-faced lion, had made some very logical points, Du Yi decided to give them a trial period.

It wasn't really an opportunity, just a trial period. These three giant beasts needed to quickly produce the mammoths and saber-toothed tigers he wanted to eat right under his nose, with tender meat and excellent taste. Most importantly, they couldn't leave this mountain area.

"If there aren't any suitable mammoths to roast, then we'll just put you up there; it'll be the same."

Before everything began, Du Yi gave the three giant beasts this warning.

Of course, even so, after realizing that these three giant beasts were intelligent and could communicate, Du Yi found it somewhat difficult to bring himself to eat them—in a sense, this was a kind of curse brought about by civilization; he would rather eat those that couldn't speak than those that could.

However, even if he refused to eat, threatening them was still necessary. Du Yi felt that these three giant beasts that he had captured on the snowy mountain were not telling him the truth about something—although he couldn't tell exactly what they were hiding right now. But if these three giant beasts really intended to do something, he would be happy to kill them all.

Not eating doesn't mean not killing. After all, the remains of the three giant beasts can be buried in the ground. After absorbing the remains of these three giant beasts, the soil on this mountain will become fertile, and naturally more things will grow.

The importance of carefully managing one's land holdings is a new lesson Du Yi has just learned from the Blue-Faced Lion.

"In short, whether they do things seriously or not, I will gain something...wait a minute."

Remembering something, Du Yi went straight to the three giant beasts.

"And one more thing."

"Please say what you want."

The three giant beasts nodded repeatedly, looking as if they would agree to anything.

After all, things went much more smoothly than the three of them had imagined. They had thought they were going to be eaten, but now they not only survived, but had even gotten what they wanted to some extent—temporary control over the land itself.

Even if it's just temporary control, it's enough for them to do a lot. After all, what this ancient serpent wants isn't complicated; it's simply to herd mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, something that doesn't take much effort.

So, in the meantime, can they use this land to do what they want to do?
That should work, it definitely will.

After all, they themselves had faced similar situations before.

That was a long time ago. To the west of the Great Snow Mountain, they all had their own land. At that time, they did not know each other. The people gathered around them were the Katan, Nata, and Mani.

Until the Hennu people came to them.

The Hennu people, who have bull heads, know how to manage a piece of land. They outperform the Katan, Nata, and Mani people. Over time, the other groups have become accustomed to having the Hennu people do things for them.

Of course, the Hennu also had their own underhanded tactics. For example, the Katan, Nata, and Mani people who had once followed them gradually disappeared under the open and covert pressure from the Hennu. But such things didn't matter to them, since they were no longer of much use compared to the bull-headed Hennu.

"So...we can do it too."

Although placing themselves alongside the Hennu people was somewhat beneath them, considering the vast land before them, which was in no way inferior to the land west of the Great Snow Mountain, they felt that lowering their status was not a big deal.

What they gave up was merely their identity, and besides, now that they had become prey, they had no identity to speak of. But what they gained was everything before them.

"As long as we satisfy this ancient serpent's demands... then everything else will be ours, right?"

With this in mind, they had already made their decision: they were prepared to grant the ancient serpent any request, even if it meant cutting off two pieces of their own flesh. However, they never expected that the ancient serpent would propose something they could never do.

"Bring those Katan, Nata, and Mani people I mentioned before to me as well."

Du Yi's face was full of curiosity.

"I've never seen this before."

"This……"

The three giant beasts looked at each other, and for a moment none of them could say a word.

The Katan, Nata, and Mani people all died out a long time ago. Now, only the Hennu people live on those three lands. Where are they going to bring these extinct races back to life?
But if it's a refusal... then those words can never be uttered.

Simply because this was the achievement that the three of them had just been showing off.

The Katan people, who belong to the blue-faced giant lion, the Nata people, who are dominated by the six-tusked white elephant, and the Mani people, who worship the golden-winged roc, are the three people they use as typical examples to prove their abilities.

As for why they didn't mention the Hennu people... one reason is that the Hennu people weren't that closely related to them. It was only later that they learned that the Hennu people had always worshipped the sacred bull god Dehennu.

On the other hand, it's also because what they want to do is the same as what the Hennu people do: to use the territory of this ancient serpent to do what they want.

They had other ideas in their minds, so how could they possibly tell the truth?

However, the facts proved that poor communication can cause trouble, just like now. A mere concealment has once again pulled them back to the brink of death. If they really cannot produce the Katan, Nata, and Mani people they claim to know, then they will likely face the wrath of this ancient serpent.

If you can't do that, you'll have to go on the grill; that's what the ancient snake said himself.

and so……

"We can do it! We definitely can!"

After taking a deep breath, the blue-faced lion, who possessed telepathic abilities, finally spoke.

"We can definitely do it, we just need some more time..."

"Of course, after all, it takes some distance for people to get here, that's understandable."

Du Yi nodded with a smile.

"Then hurry up. This matter can be put before the mammoths and saber-toothed tigers. I am really curious about what the people you brought out actually look like."

"...Okay, we'll do it as soon as possible."

All three giant beasts lowered their heads.

In order to survive, they may have to think of other ways.
