My tribe has been invincible for thirty years of gacha pulls.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Without any hesitation, the documentary team declined the offer.

It wasn't that the documentary was being overly polite; he wasn't stupid, and naturally understood how a precious item like a spiritual spring could possibly appear in normal tribal exchanges.

Although he didn't know what the patriarch of the Crimson Flame Tribe, whom he had never met, meant, Ji Shi chose to refuse.

The gift was so valuable that even he dared not accept it easily.

Seeing Ji Shi's unwavering refusal, even Yan Cang was slightly taken aback. He even asked somewhat uncertainly, "Does Guardian Ji Shi not know what this thing is?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shi was taken aback, then said seriously, "This is an essential item for advancing from the third to the fourth tier, which is why I refused! It's too valuable!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Cang paused slightly.

He really didn't expect that Ji Shi would refuse even knowing the value of this thing.

After all, if he were in the other person's position, he certainly wouldn't be able to refuse.

At this moment, Yan Cang was increasingly optimistic about forming an alliance with the Jishi Water Department.

After all, if someone can resist such a great temptation, then any subsequent alliance will certainly be more reliable.

Then he smiled and said, "The guardian of the clan has considered too many things. Actually, I'm not afraid for you to know that the spirit spring is naturally extremely important to our tribe, but this is a private gift from the clan chief."

As he spoke, he continued, "Although the Jishi Water Tribe is strong, it still lacks fourth-tier combat power. With this spiritual spring, the Jishi Water Tribe has a new fourth-tier force, and can finally be considered to have a place in this great wilderness."

After saying this, Yan Cang forcefully stuffed the spiritual spring into Ji Shi's hand.

This made the latter feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the other party was just too sincere.

However, after careful consideration, the documentary team ultimately accepted the spiritual spring.

It seems that we can release the news that Si Bao used a portion of the spiritual spring to advance to the fourth rank soon.

After all, it was truly astonishing that Si Bao used eight portions of spiritual spring water when she advanced to the next level.

"Actually, there's one more thing, which the clan chief asked me to bring to you."

"What?"

Ji Shi would certainly not refuse the Chi Yan tribe, who had just sponsored a portion of the Spirit Spring.

Although the documentary has already obtained more than a dozen spiritual springs, these were all accidental acquisitions. In the Mangshan area, each spiritual spring is extremely precious.

"The clan chief didn't go into details. He just said that if possible, the Jishi Water Tribe needs to grow stronger even faster, and it would be best to resolve the troubles with the Yuancang Clan and the Youjiao Clan within two years."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shi was slightly taken aback, but he already understood what the other party meant.

If he is not mistaken, the chieftain of the Crimson Flame tribe was most likely referring to the independence of the Mangshan territory.

It seems that the Crimson Flame Clan is not entirely unaware of such a major event.

Thinking about it carefully, this is actually quite normal, after all, the Crimson Flame Tribe is one of the three fourth-tier tribes in this world.

If the other party can't even handle such an important matter, then they are really too pathetic.

As for the fact that the Crimson Flame Tribe Chief was being secretive about him, the documentary is actually understandable.

After all, as the illusory figure said, it is never a good thing to know too much before one has the strength to do so.

Based on the spiritual spring sent by the other party, Ji Shi boldly speculates that, in the eyes of the Crimson Flame Tribe, only those at the fourth rank have the right to know about this matter.

Thinking of this, Ji Shi held the Crimson Flame Tribe Chief, whom he had never met, in even higher regard.

"Is your chieftain truly a warrior, and not a shaman?"

Unable to hold back any longer, the documentary director asked.

It wasn't that he looked down on martial artists, but that very few martial artists possessed such wisdom.

If it's a wizard, then that's perfectly normal.

For example, that old fellow of the Yuancang clan was clearly a blood-sucking insect that crawled all over the tribe, yet even the tribe's higher-ups didn't know this.

If the documentary hadn't sensed the magical fluctuations within Yuan Er when he died, it might have remained hidden for many more years.

"I'm quite certain that our clan leader is a fourth-tier martial artist."

Yan Cang was speechless when he heard Ji Shi's words. The Crimson Flame Tribe Chief was much younger than him, and he had essentially watched the other party grow stronger.

In this situation, the other party certainly couldn't be a wizard.

Hearing Yan Cang's certainty, Ji Shi nodded and did not ask any further questions.

He was just silently adding fuel to the fire for the Crimson Flame Tribe in his heart.

It can only be said that the Chiyan tribe has indeed made a name for itself in successfully holding out until now under the siege of the Yuancang and Youjiao clans.

Although the Atobe Mizubu seems to be surviving well and nothing has happened, Kijima knows very well that this is because the Atobe Mizubu has developed too quickly.

They didn't give Yuancang and Youjiao a chance to react at all.

If it were a normally developing tribe, it would probably have been wiped out when the Hirano tribe attacked, not to mention the subsequent joint attack by several third-tier tribes.

Ji Shi knew very well that Yuan Cangshi was supporting all of these things behind the scenes.

Although the Youjiao clan has not made any moves, the documentary suggests that if they wait for the other side to make a move, they might make an even bigger one.

This is one of the reasons why the documentary team chose to enter Mangshan, but he wouldn't tell the people in the tribe about it.

After exchanging pleasantries with Yan Cang for a while, Ji Shi left.

Shi Xiaoyong and Ji Liu, however, approached Ji Shi.

Seeing the slightly serious expressions on their faces, the latter paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What happened?"

"I've discovered that the Crimson Flame Tribe is far stronger than our tribe. Should we really form an alliance with them? I feel..."

Ji Liu opened his mouth, but he quickly seemed to realize something and silently shut his mouth.

As someone gathering intelligence, he can only recount what he sees and cannot add his own thoughts to the information, otherwise it will lead to inaccurate information.

Shi Xiaoyong calmly finished recounting what he and Ji Liu had seen and heard.

Since they were visiting the Crimson Flame Tribe unexpectedly, they were naturally able to see relatively accurate information.

First, the population of the Crimson Flame Tribe has reached the standard of over five thousand.

Of course, this is a deduction based on what the two people said.

After all, expecting someone who can't even do addition and subtraction within ten to count five thousand people is really asking too much of them.

Then came the number of third-tier experts they encountered, at least twenty, since they were both third-tier martial artists and were naturally very clear about the fluctuations of those of the same tier.

As for the number of fourth-tier individuals, the two did not know, but they felt there were at least three, because these three individuals gave them a sense of unfathomable depth.

What surprised them the most was not these things.

"Brother Xiaoshi, I noticed they seem to be planting something, it looks like plants."

After hearing this, Ji Shi narrowed his eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, the Crimson Flame Tribe has most likely entered the agricultural era!

Compared to the previous news about combat strength, this news surprised him even more.

After all, he had already guessed the former, but this was completely unexpected!
