"Bai Ling, tell them to send the tribute population to the White Scale tribe in three days."

Bai Ling nodded and turned to walk towards the Gray Scale tribe leader.

The two exchanged a few more words.

Soon after, the Lizardman turned and dove into the water, swimming away into the distance.

"Gobu Qiang, retreat!"

Taking two steps forward, Li Meng grabbed Bai Ling's hand as she returned to his side.

He pulled her onto Benben's hand.

Benben stood up and lifted the leader onto his shoulder.

Sitting on Benben's shoulder, Li Meng forcibly pulled Bai Ling into his embrace.

His hands tightly grasped Bai Ling's waist and hips.

"What... are you trying to do?"

Bai Ling looked panicked, struggling.

But to her despair, she couldn't move.

The hands on her waist and hips held her body firmly in place.

"No, please, not here!"

The strange sensation beneath her beast skirt made Bai Ling realize what the Goblin in front of her intended to do.

Bai Ling's face showed a pleading expression.

Her kind was watching not far away.

As the High Priest, how could she endure such humiliation?

"Withdraw, return to the White Scale tribe immediately!"

Under Gobu Qiang's command, the Goblins on the ice began to turn and retreat.

Watching the leader bullying the female Lizardman on Benben's shoulder, the Goblins looked on with greed.

Some Goblins even drooled.

"Ah!"

A sharp scream echoed as Bai Ling, sitting astride Li Meng's lap, was filled with resentment.

Li Meng buried his ugly head into Bai Ling's soft bosom.

"How could this be, damn it, hateful!"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

The Lizardmen not far away witnessed everything.

Gray Scale let out a mournful cry, filled with rage.

His face twisted with hatred, reaching its peak.

The surrounding elders clenched their fists, their bodies trembling.

Their High Priest had become a breeding tool for the Goblins.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Many Lizardmen lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

Some Lizardmen slapped the water in frustration, venting their anger.

"Leader, let's fight them!"

"Yes, fight them!"

The Lizardmen, filled with righteous indignation, looked towards the Gray Scale tribe leader.

Faced with the angry and expectant eyes of the young tribe members, Gray Scale hesitated.

Finally, his face darkened, and he expressionlessly waded towards the direction of the tribe.

"Everyone, return!"

"Leader!"

Some Lizardmen wanted to say more, but were silenced by Gray Scale's glare.

The leader's authority made the Lizardmen reluctantly follow in silence.

The elders also hesitated to speak.

Although they didn't know what the leader and Bai Ling the High Priest had discussed.

The Goblins' retreat gave them a sense of relief.

Soon after, in the Gray Scale tribe leader's wooden house.

"What? I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree, leader, you're sending our people to the Goblins as breeding tools."

The elders looked at the leader in disbelief.

They couldn't believe the leader would agree to submit to the Goblins.

Elder Hui Gu roared at Gray Scale.

Gray Scale faced the elders' angry eyes with an expressionless face.

"Do you think the Gray Scale tribe is stronger than the White Scale tribe?"

Gray Scale's question left the elders speechless.

Among the three major tribes in the swamp, the White Scale tribe was the strongest.

Not only did they have a large population, but they also had Bai Ling the High Priest.

"The White Scale tribe was overrun by the Goblins, what do we have to fight them with?"

Faced with the leader's gaze, the elders lowered their heads.

Elder Hui Gu wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to speak.

"Bai Ling the High Priest personally told me, in last night's battle, the young and strong of the White Scale tribe were all killed by the Goblins, leaving only women and children. If we want revenge, we must temporarily avoid the edge, pretend to submit to the Goblins, and buy time to seek help from the Black Scale tribe. A forced battle will only lead to the same fate as the White Scale tribe. We will have our revenge, but not now. We must preserve our living strength to prepare for future revenge."

Revenge!

Gray Scale's words made the elders clench their fists.

Their eyes were filled with hatred for the Goblins.

For revenge, they could only humiliate themselves by submitting to the Goblins.

"Leader, the tribespeople might find it hard to accept!"

Hui Yuan looked worried, knowing how much of a stir this news would cause.

Gray Scale looked apologetically at his wife sitting beside him.

"I will lead by example and become the first batch of tribute!"

These words caused the elders' expressions to change.

Elder Hui Gu shook his head with a bitter smile.

"That's all we can do. If we don't become tributes, we can't explain it to the tribespeople."

The elders exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Leader, let us bear this sin together."

Faced with the elders' determined gazes, Gray Scale felt comforted.

If only he became a tribute, the elders would become the target of the tribespeople's resentment.

But if both the elders and the leader became tributes, the tribespeople would surely understand their intentions.

Soon after, Gray Scale led the elders straight towards the direction of the Black Scale tribe.

------

Three days later, at the White Scale tribe.

It was noon, and the sun shone brightly over the swamp.

Compared to the morning's hustle and bustle, the White Scale tribe was much quieter.

Looking into the tribe, many Goblins could be seen playing and frolicking on the wooden walls.

Behind the wooden walls, the tribe was relatively calm.

Early in the morning, nearly half of the Hunting Party had gone out to hunt.

Goblins didn't have the habit of storing food; they ate wherever they went.

Goblins didn't consume much either; once full, they wouldn't be hungry for three days.

In front of the largest thatched hut in the tribe.

Gobu Qiang looked obsequiously at Benben, who was sitting in front of the door.

"Um... I want to see the boss!"

Hearing the noises from inside the hut, a hint of envy flashed in Gobu Qiang's eyes.

Benben looked down at Gobu Qiang, just staring.

Sensing Benben's gaze, Gobu Qiang gave a sheepish smile.

He stepped back two steps and sat obediently on the ground to wait.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, two figures, one green and one white, were intertwined.

Bai Ling was pinned beneath Li Meng, unable to move.

Her hands tightly gripped the wooden planks, her eyes filled with only humiliation and hatred.

At that moment, Li Meng's body suddenly trembled.

Then he collapsed weakly onto Bai Ling.

After a while, Li Meng got up from Bai Ling and sat beside her.

Li Meng looked down at her belly.

Reaching out with his right hand, Li Meng gently caressed Bai Ling's slightly bulging belly.

"Looks like you're pregnant!"

Li Meng's voice wasn't loud, but Bai Ling heard it.

Although Bai Ling couldn't understand the Goblin language.

Through the "Heart Speech" skill, she knew what the sentence meant.

Her body trembled, and a flash of fear appeared in her eyes.

"Giving birth to a Goblin is relatively easy, it won't hurt."

The size of a Goblin baby is closely related to the size of the mother.

If the mother is a Groundhog, the Goblin born will be very small.

This makes it easier for the mother to give birth, preventing the Goblin from dying in the womb.
