The patriarch was hunched up, with gray hair and eyebrows that even drooped.

Even if the dark elves have a long life, it can be seen at this moment that the patriarch's age is definitely not young.

Beside him was the level 62 old mage that Midi was familiar with, as well as several other elders who were either older or in their prime.

And further down are the two black dragon priestesses, Golantis and Zarid.

It can be said that the top of the entire tarantula tribe, except for the warriors who symbolize force, other people who are qualified to make decisions are already here.

Of course, such a grand battle was naturally not for the sake of welcoming the two slave fighters, Midi and Zaknavan, but for the sake of the Dark Mushroom Forest.

In this dark region where resources are scarce and competition is fierce, it is impossible for any tribe to ignore such a thing as "opening up new territories", and it can even be said that this is definitely the top priority of a tribe.

Originally, in the mages' estimation, the unknown area should be a barren land, so it became a thankless task for the slave fighters to perform with a very high contribution point.

But I didn't expect it to be a dark mushroom forest!

Midi has experienced first-hand how fertile the land is supported by the ecological cycle of mushrooms and water.

All kinds of creatures, medicinal herbs, magical beasts, and even fierce beasts, the danger of this qiē is, in a certain sense, a proof of the vitality of the Dark Mushroom Forest.

And the various loot that Midi and Zaknavan brought out from the dark mushroom forest made the members of the tarantula tribe even more red.

In the cave, the news spreads faster than the wind.

As a result, there will be such a top-level "mission report".

Seeing that the tarantula patriarch was waiting here, Midi immediately glanced at Zaknavan.

Although Midi himself is very good at words, at the end of the day, he still lacks knowledge about this place, the information and knowledge available to slave fighters are limited, and Midi is not aware of the traditional habits between tribes, cities, and even dark elves.

Therefore, this time the report will still be handed over to Zaknavan from the big city.

The Dark Elf Ghost Swordsman didn't shirk either, he stepped forward and began to narrate in an orderly manner, and at the same time, presented the map drawn by the two of them.

Throughout the report, the tarantula patriarch and several elders would ask questions at any time, and Zaknafan was able to answer them fluently, without any flaws.

When it came to the final battle against the Dreadclaw, the elders didn't make any fuss about Midi and Zaknavan's victory over the Dreadclaw Scorpion like the mages in the Reckoning Chamber, but they were worried about the appearance of the Blue Serpent Tribe.

"The Blue Snake Tribe has been holding us down on the tarantula all these years, and this time to explore the Dark Mushroom Forest, if it weren't for the perseverance of the two fighters, I'm afraid we would miss it again. The old mage said worriedly, "Even so, we are lagging behind. ”

Although the tarantula and the blue snake can be said to have discovered this dark mushroom forest at the same time, the explorers sent are completely different.

On the tarantula's side, there are just two slave fighters, although Midi and Zaknavan's personal strength is very strong, but in terms of status, they are still a step lower after all.

On the Blue Snake side, the people sent were all official tribesmen.

Among them, there are warriors like Kuid.

Judging from the importance of Cheng Dù, the difference between the two sides is not a little bit.

Although in the battle of the Dreadclaw Scorpion, Midi and Zaknavan made a lot of money, but after all, it was just the two of them who got the benefits, and it had nothing to do with the wrestling between the two dark elf tribes.

Now, although the tarantula tribe has also begun to catch up after getting the news, there is no doubt that the blue snake has already run far ahead.

When the tarantula warriors assembled, the Blue Snake tribe was afraid that they had already entered the Dark Mushroom Forest and began to claim sovereignty.

Realizing this, the elders of the tribe immediately began to talk about it.

Soon, the tarantula patriarch came to the conclusion: "It's too late to rely on the normal way to expand the territory, and a territorial challenge must be carried out." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion in the entire Council of Elders.

Especially the two black dragon priestesses, Golantis and Zalid, suddenly their eyes lit up for some reason, and the smell of gunpowder between the two of them became heavier.

Is it a territorial challenge?

Midi was also slightly surprised in her heart.

On the way back, Zaknavan had already analyzed the possible situation with Midi.

With the Blue Snake Tribe taking the lead, the tarantula has several options-

The first is to send an envoy to negotiate with the Blue Snake, and the two sides will share the resources of the Dark Mushroom Forest. However, in this case, the blue snake will definitely put forward harsh conditions, just like the three seven kai that Midi insisted on before.

The second is not to mention anything, just silently grab territory, which is also the practice of many tribes.

In this way, the dark mushroom forest will become disputed territory, and the two sides will compete with each other for years or even decades.

The disadvantage is that once the battle is over, the benefits of both sides will be greatly reduced, and in the end they will only be surpassed by other tribes.

The third strategy is the territorial challenge.

Each side chooses a warrior to compete, with the winner receiving the entire Dark Mushroom Grove and the loser withdrawing completely.

There are many specific forms of this territorial challenge, but one thing that is fixed is that the Black Dragon Priest performs a special blood ritual to ensure that the loser will carry out the contract after the competition is over.

Admittedly, the territorial challenge is the cleanest of the three options, but it is also the most game-oriented.

Due to the involvement of the priests and the ritual of bloodshed, the loser would not have any room for maneuver at all, and could only leave empty-handed.

This is obviously not in line with the steady development of a tribe.

However, Midi can also understand, after all, this is the time when the Black Dragon Conference is about to begin, and any tribe will do everything in its power to find more resources.

If you choose to negotiate or stalk, in the long run, you may be able to obtain some resources, but it will not help you in the current selection of the Black Dragon Conference.

Therefore, this time, the elders of the tribe will take a rare radical strategy.

"Everyone knows that in the past few decades, the Blue Snake Tribe has always overpowered the Tarantula Tribe, they have occupied more mushroom forests, have better ore veins, and have done bigger business than us. The Tarantula Patriarch continued, "But despite this, the warriors of the Tarantula tribe have never bowed their heads, and in the past ten years, our warriors have been outstanding. ”

"That's right, as long as the opponent is not a black dragon like Ruisen of the Salamander Tribe, the great warrior of the tarantula will not lose. Some elders agreed.

"Alex is only in his twenties, but now that he has reached the peak of level 62, he will definitely be the hope of our tarantula tribe. Someone else said excitedly.

"Besides, the current tarantula tribe has more lessons than Alex alone. The Tarantula Patriarch said, turning his gaze to Midi and Zaknavan, "Among the slave fighters, I have also seen many fallen heroes, who are like Mithril sealed in the dirt, waiting for us to dig up. ”

Midi and Zaknavan glanced at each other and bowed tacitly: "Patriarch, I am willing to serve you!"

At the end of this exploration mission, with the approval of the tribal patriarch, plus the exchange of various rare materials, especially the materials on the dreadclaw scorpion, now, the contribution points in Midi's hands have exceeded 5,000.

And Zaknavanga's contribution points in the previous four weeks were above 6,000.

And that's not even counting the ones they used up themselves.

It can be said that both of them have achieved a surprising and dumbfounded harvest in this mission.

Even Mason, who used to be number one, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time after hearing that Midi got 5,000 contribution points for a mission.

In the end, he could only sigh with emotion: "It is worthy of that Midi Asrex, it is the same in the Arad continent or in the dark region, it can always surprise people." ”

It's just that in the face of the emotion of the warriors of the tarantula tribe, and in the face of the eyes of the slave fighters, Midi is very calm.

He knew very well that opportunities like this could never be repeated.

No matter how efficient the two-person cooperative operation is, it is impossible to reach the Cheng dù of 5,000 contribution points a week.

This time he was able to do this, mainly because Zaknavan from Tempest City had already had the information of that area, plus he was lucky, he ran into the Dreadclaw Scorpion, and there were also Blue Snake's warriors as cannon fodder.

In addition, the Tarantula Tribe's attention to this dark mushroom forest, as well as the Tarantula Patriarch's intentional overtures, made the contribution points soar to the number of five thousand.

It is conceivable that in the future, it will be very good to have more than 1,000 contribution points a week.

It is almost impossible to reproduce the results of this 5,000 contribution points.

And now, in this council of elders, the tarantula patriarch has actually asked for Midi and Zaknavi to join the territorial challenge, and Midi naturally can't ask for it.

Of course, the identity of the main force is definitely not the slave fighters like Midi.

Even if Midi can fight again, in the final analysis, he is still not trusted, but an outsider also has the possibility of defecting, so he will be roughly arranged to be used as a pioneer for consumption.

However, this is not a problem for Midi at all, because what he wants now is not to "save the tarantula tribe" or something like that, as long as he can be free, it will be enough.

And since the tarantula patriarch promised to give freedom to Midi and the others after the end of this territorial challenge, then he certainly had no reason to refuse.

In a week, he went straight from the last place to the first slave fighter.

Now, Midi is going to try to set herself free in two weeks and become a true tribal warrior.

Then, qualify for further selection!
