Chapter 654: Chapter 46: The Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Story

Mu Mianmian couldn’t believe it. The always arrogant and combative Eagle Clan actually took the initiative to give up territory for Jiang Lai to set up a salt factory.

When the Snake Clan arrived outside the salt factory, the sight of this grand-scale salt production facility astonished every member of the Snake Clan.

Before coming, they were curious about how big a salt factory could possibly take away all their business. After seeing it, they couldn’t utter a single arrogant word.

Because the scene before them was indeed shocking.

The Eagle Clan and other beastmen each performed their own tasks. Everyone was skillfully busy with their work, and on the spacious sandy ground, many Eagle Clan members were carrying two baskets filled with water, pouring it little by little onto the sand.

Behind the sandy area was another stretch of salt pits, lying close together, with thick layers of salt crystals laid out for drying.

The Snake Clan leader couldn’t take his eyes off the scene.

Beside him, Mu Mianmian was even more stunned, opening her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately not uttering a single word.

Inside, a strong sense of discontent surged up.

Even as a transmigrator, why is it that Jiang Lai has everything, while she has nothing at all?

She always thought she would be the unique protagonist in this world, the key to saving the Beast World, but one fact after another seemed to be telling her.

Stop dreaming, the protagonist isn’t her.

But rather a useless person who gets everything thanks to their special abilities.

It’s hateful, laughable.

What’s wrong with this world?

Mu Mianmian took a deep breath, trying hard to control her emotions.

Beside her, the Snake Clan leader leaned close, whispering by her ear.

"You know the leader of the New Tribe? No wonder, both of you know how to produce salt.

Since that’s the case, go reconnect with your old acquaintance and ask if she’s willing to cooperate with our Snake Clan.

I can also give up territory for her to dry salt."

"Are you crazy? We have our own methods. Why use someone else’s? You don’t trust me? If you didn’t trust me in the first place, why choose me? You might as well go directly to her for cooperation!"

The Snake Clan leader, seeing her emotionally unstable, curled his lips into a smile.

"Are you afraid she’ll steal your spotlight?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

"Mianmian, I understand you. As I said, I know you better than anyone in this world.

I like your uniqueness, so you don’t need to mask yourself before me. If you mind, I can help you."

Mu Mianmian’s thoughts slightly stirred.

"What can you help me with?"

"Who do you find displeasing?"

"It’s not displeasing; it’s her, repeatedly humiliating me."

Relying on her own special abilities, she wants to outshine me no matter what.

Jiang Lai is doing it deliberately. Without integrity, just wanting to trample on my self-esteem!

Such people are the most detestable, leaving no room for dignity!

"Uh-huh, I know, I know my Mianmian is aggrieved.

That’s why you came back to find me, because other males can’t protect you, right?

I know all about it, the Wolf Clan, the Tiger Clan, the Fox Clan, I know it all.

But I don’t blame you, because those males have no ability. They can’t protect you, but I can."

With that, the Snake Clan leader slowly wrapped his snake tail around Mu Mianmian, the strong possessive motion paired with that face of complex patterns made Mu Mianmian feel terrified.

She knows the Snake Clan leader is the strongest, but she cannot accept the snake species, nor his sinister dominance.

Not to mention, his strange appearance.

Unlike other beastmen, the Snake Clan seems incompletely evolved, all clan members have human torsos and snake tails, that vividly colored snake tail carries a dangerous poisonous venom making Mu Mianmian find it unbearable.

But she has no other choice.

Jiang Lai has already trampled her dignity underfoot.

Thus, Mu Mianmian chose to come to him.

Sure enough, as she expected, the Snake Clan leader had been waiting for her return. Although he looked odd and had a dark personality, at least he was willing to do anything for her.

Soon, the Snake Clan found the Eagle Clan.

Relations between the two clans had always been bad, with a tense deadlock maintained only by the contract established back then.

However, contracts can be broken at any time.

So when the Snake Clan demanded that the Eagle Clan share half of the salt produced at the salt factory, the Eagle Clan naturally refused without hesitation.

Not only did the salt factory not belong to them, the reason given by the Snake Clan was simply laughable.

The sea belongs to everyone, you used the seawater, thus their seawater decreased, so the salt you produced must be shared with them.

Upon hearing this, the Eagle Clan leader was enraged and laughed.

"What does the Snake Clan mean? This is intentional provocation?"

They are now relying on the New Tribe, with good food, good drink, and good residence, and can rely on salt to gain respect from other tribes as well.

Doesn’t the Snake Clan have their own salt production site? What? Poor performance so they’re jealous?

When Jiang Lai heard about this matter, she simply nodded briefly.

"I know."

The Eagle Clan leader was indignant.

"They are too much! Even the First Tribe wouldn’t bully people like this!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Yeah, they bully you, just fight back."

Jiang Lai spoke lightly, while the Eagle Clan leader showed difficulty.

"After all, it’s the First Tribe. Not even our Eagle Clan’s First Tribe is their match, let alone us."

They could fight, but would probably lose.

Jiang Lai still calmly studied the item in her hands, a black long rod with a hole on one end and two short handle supports on the other.

"If you can’t fight them, do we not still have us?"

With that, Jiang Lai raised the firearm in her hands toward the Eagle Clan leader in front of her.

When the black barrel aimed at him, even though he didn’t know what it was, the Eagle Clan leader still felt an unprecedented crisis and fear.

"What... What is this?"

Jiang Lai attempted to load the gun, then casually said.

"A gun."

"Gun? What kind of thing?"

"A gun..."

Jiang Lai silently aimed the gun at the target and pressed the trigger.

"Boom--!!"

The huge sound was deafening, immediately creating holes in the wall before them, with debris splattering everywhere.

The Eagle Clan leader was already scared stiff, directly transforming into his original form and fluttering into the corner.

Jiang Lai’s arm also hurt from the shock.

Fortunately, the effect was not bad.

If the debris were replaced with iron shavings, the effect would be even better.

After firing the shot, Jiang Lai looked at the Eagle Clan leader in the corner.

"Did you see? That’s a gun."

"...Amazing, really amazing."

"Yeah, slightly more powerful than a crossbow."

Indeed, cold weapons are somewhat lacking.

Against the Snake Clan, which relies on numbers to win, hot weapons are still needed.

"Tell the Snake Clan, if they want salt, sure, give up the territory, otherwise, don’t even think about it."

"Okay... Okay."

The Eagle Clan leader was still a bit scared.

Luckily, he was sensible enough, and didn’t attempt to fight back.
