Actually, Chen Jiuge had not ignored the potential impact of cooperating with Beng Yu.

The partnership between the Star Moon Tribe and an alien race might be detested by other tribes that have prejudices against aliens, but Chen Jiuge believes the food, weapons, and elixirs produced by the Star Moon Tribe are irresistible to them!

There might be a period of desolation, but compared to the benefits of cooperating with an alien race, it's negligible!

Beng Yu's own strength is extremely formidable. Su Ming had also mentioned that Beng Yu is likely the strongest king-level existence in the entire Sunset Mountain Range, which would be highly useful for conquering the Five Stars Tribe, almost guaranteeing success.

And then there's the alien race!

Don't assume their strength is weak just because the alien race has been pushed into the dark corners of the Sunset Mountain Range by the Human Clan.

In reality, the overall strength of the alien race is only slightly weaker compared to the Human Clan, although this is largely due to their reluctance to break through the Heavenly King Level.

"Perhaps the alien race knows even more than those tribes!" Chen Jiuge suspected that these aliens were aware of the Ghost Fighting Tribe and had greater knowledge of the outside world!

"No rush for now; it will take some time to get some genuine information from the mouths of the aliens!"

.......

"Leader, we're running out of food!"

Hei Yan looked worriedly at Beng Yu, who sat with his back against him on the blue stone.

The wide blue back had several large gashes, with dark red blood long hardened into scabs.

"Running out? Didn't we just catch a herd?"

Beng Yu turned his head, his dark golden pupils fixed on Hei Yan, somewhat puzzled.

Although aware that their leader was a gentle person, the dark golden pupils paired with the somewhat fierce shark-like face still put Hei Yan under immense pressure.

Especially since Beng Yu had sustained injuries while capturing the herd earlier, with blood slowly trickling down his forehead, adding a few degrees of grimness.

"Leader, a few days ago you took in a group of refugees, and some warriors within the tribe have just broken through, consuming quite a lot of flesh. The herd just now might not suffice." Hei Yan lowered his head, a bit guilty.

"Not enough, huh? Then let's keep moving; I remember there's a herd of cattle over there!"

"Leader, no, that wild cattle herd is too formidable!" Hei Yan hurriedly stopped him.

"Formidable? We just need to be a bit careful!"

"But......"

"Enough, just listen to me!"

The fierce beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range mainly fall into two categories, those with Spiritual Wisdom and those without.

Those with Spiritual Wisdom aren't necessarily weak, but that doesn't mean those without are weaker!

Unlike the Spiritually Wise beasts that like to root near the Human Clan, these beasts, driven by instinct, prefer to stay far from the Human Clan, and because of their lack of Spiritual Wisdom, as long as their bloodline is strong enough, they can grow rapidly.

So, in terms of overall strength, these beasts without Spiritual Wisdom are indeed stronger!

Of course, these beasts mostly roam the deeper parts of the Sunset Mountain Range, mainly as race-based groups, and the strength of these group herds is immense, beyond the hunting capabilities of the small tribes in the Sunset Mountain Range.

"Hmm, is someone coming?"

"Hei Yan, step behind me!"

Beng Yu's dark golden pupils contracted slightly. Though he wasn't afraid, being at the king level, he had confidence, only worried about Hei Yan getting hurt.

"Beng Yu, it's been a while!"

The lion-like Su Ming emerged from the dense forest.

"Su Ming!"

Beng Yu slowly rose to his full height, his body over a zhang tall, making even someone as robust as Su Ming appear like a child in front of him.

Su Ming squinted slightly, surprised as he looked at the body full of various wounds: "Injured again, did you go hunting those large herds once more?"

"Boom"

Heavily sitting back down on the blue stone, Beng Yu displayed a faint, helpless smile: "If I don't hunt large herds, what else could I do?"

"Trade for food with the Star Moon Tribe!"

"After wandering the depths of the mountain for so long, you ought to have some treasures!" Su Ming was puzzled.

The Star Moon Tribe wasn't without aliens coming for exchanges of food and Star Coins; Beng Yu's cultivation might be strong, but wasn't particularly special either!

Beng Yu shook his head slightly: "No, I need these treasures to enhance their strength!"

"Huh?" Su Ming laughed: "Beng Yu, I've always told you nurturing those is useless!"

"You're different from other settlements; you have only the elderly and the weak, even if their cultivation is high, they're useless!"

"You....."

Hei Yan was about to retort, but seeing Su Ming's dark golden eyes looking over, he fell silent.

"See, Beng Yu, it's of no use!"

Beng Yu felt bleak inside. Despite understanding Su Ming's words, he couldn't just abandon them. Over the years, although most of his nurturing ended in vain, there were still a few reliable helpers.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you; this is the path you've chosen for yourself!"

"This time, I've brought you some good news!"

Su Ming raised his hand and tossed a Blood Contract to Beng Yu, the gust from his gesture blew Hei Yan off the clearing altogether.

"Take a look. If you find it suitable, sign it, and then I'll explain the details!"

Beng Yu signed his name without hesitation, cheerfully saying: "Su Ming, you're someone I can trust."

"You're only acquainted with me after all!"
