Although Li Yi felt that the stored food of the Silver Tiger Clan couldn’t help the Mammoth tribe overcome their crisis, having some food was better than having none, as it could solve the food problem for a few more days, giving them some extra time, which was always beneficial.

"Li Yi thanks the Great Witch for her assistance. If the Silver Tiger Clan needs anything from our Mammoth tribe in the future, just ask. Our Mammoth tribe will never decline."

Beastmen are straightforward and don’t understand pretentious niceties. Since Shuangshuang had offered food, Li Yi directly thanked and accepted it, while also promising friendship from the Mammoth tribe.

Shuangshuang achieved her goal and was not in a hurry to have Li Yi and the others immediately join the Silver Tiger Clan. Things had to proceed gradually. She believed that, despite the Mammoth Tribe’s strong combat power, their large appetite made food storage a significant challenge.

Only the farming methods developed by the Silver Tiger Clan could truly solve the Mammoth tribe’s food issues. With this bargaining chip in hand, Shuangshuang wasn’t worried about the Mammoth tribe not being tempted to join the Silver Tiger Clan.

Moreover, the union of the two tribes meant coexisting together. Shuangshuang had no intention of annexing other tribes; she wanted a city, even a country that embraced diversity and allowed all races to live harmoniously.

Li Yi came out specifically to find food because the Mammoth’s food supply was running low, and couldn’t be delayed. Thus, once the banquet ended, Shuangshuang led Li Yi, Li Er, and Li San directly to the place where the tribe stored greens.

Currently, the valley where the Silver Tiger Clan was located was extremely large, with vast cleared land and a significant amount of vegetables cultivated.

Though the Silver Tigers were not fond of eating vegetables, their tendency to stockpile food had led them to cultivate large plots of land for growing vegetables.

Consequently, the tribe’s vegetable stores exceeded standard levels, becoming more than they could consume.

Initially, Shuangshuang worried about what to do with the vegetables that were stored for too long and were close to rotting, never expecting them to be this useful.

These vegetables had been tailored for years, resulting in extremely high yields, now plumper than their original state, no longer considered wild.

To make farming easier, Shuangshuang had painstakingly created some stone farming tools, though due to their crude nature, they were not very handy.

Fortunately, the beastmen were strong, and even with these unwieldy tools, their farming speed was fast. They planted large areas of land and harvested numerous greens.

Shuangshuang’s vegetable storage method was extremely simple—what couldn’t be kept long was dried, and what could be preserved was stored in dug cellars.

Shuangshuang had filled up at least ten cellars with vegetables. Since the cellars had been dug large, storing them full of greens resulted in a significant amount, enough to help the Mammoth tribe survive a cold season without any problem.

Li Yi didn’t expect the Silver Tiger Clan’s vegetable reserves to be so abundant. It seemed comparable in quantity to what their Mammoth tribe stashed and more than enough to solve their food crisis.

Despite his joy, Li Yi and Li Er and Li San’s brows furrowed deeply once more. The reason being, the Mammoth tribe primarily ate vegetables and seldom had meat.

Vegetables were always the hardest to store, so the Mammoth tribe had a unique method of preserving these delicate vegetables, ensuring they wouldn’t spoil even after storing them for a cold season.

However, the Silver Tiger Clan’s storage methods were crude by comparison—simply digging a cellar to store the vegetables, which, though preserving them for a long time, was not as good as the Mammoth tribe’s approach.

Li Yi had already keenly noticed many vegetables with wilted leaves, entire plants looking withered, making Li Yi, Li Er, and Li San feel heartbroken.

Shuangshuang saw Li Yi, Li Er, and Li San’s eyes fixed on the vegetables with joyful expressions and gave a faint smile, "How do my storage reserves fare? Will they suffice to extinguish Li Yi Clan Leader’s food shortage?"

Li Yi nodded repeatedly, his honest face showing sincere gratitude, "Thank you so much, Silver Tiger Clan. The Silver Tiger Clan is truly a life-saving grace for the Mammoth tribe now.

Nowadays, with the cold and freezing weather, no plants grow outside. Our Mammoth tribe cannot solely rely on meat to survive. If we fail to find edible things soon, the Mammoth tribe would truly starve to death. The kindness from the Great Witch and Silver Tiger Clan, our Mammoth Tribe shall never forget.

Shuangshuang listened to Li Yi’s words of gratitude, her expression unchanged: "Also, it was Li Yi Clan Leader who first saved members of our clan, allowing me to meet Li Yi Clan Leader to resolve the Mammoth tribe’s plight, perhaps it’s sowing good causes and reaping good fruits."

What ’sowing good causes and reaping good fruits,’ Li Yi didn’t comprehend. He was entirely focused on the vegetables before him.

He instinctively patted his chest after Shuangshuang finished speaking, "No matter what, you Silver Tiger Clan are friends of our Mammoth Clan from now on. Whoever dares to become an enemy of you, Silver Tiger Clan, is an enemy of us Mammoth Clan."

Shuangshuang’s smile was subtle, her eyebrows curved, appearing very delighted. Beastmen’s thoughts are simple. Once a friend, they are inseparable through life and death, with no fake friendships.

Shuangshuang contemplated how the Silver Tiger Clan had preliminarily secured the friendship of the Mammoth tribe, so the day of inviting them to live together was not far off. Thinking about this, Shuangshuang felt very cheerful.

Due to the large number of vegetables needing transport, most beastmen of the Silver Tiger Clan were mobilized to help Li Yi and his two companions carry the vegetables to the Mammoth Tribe.

The location where the Mammoth Tribe was found was quite casual; other tribes usually settled in secluded, hidden areas, hard to be discovered by horror beasts and wild beasts.

But the Mammoth Tribe was different, relying on their high Combat Power and establishing their tribe in very open places, conspicuous at a glance.

Due to the Mammoth Tribe’s construction method, although many small tribes wished to depend on the Mammoth tribe’s protection, they never dared to truly settle around the Mammoth tribe.

At the end of the day, although the Mammoth tribe didn’t mind helping when danger arose, it didn’t mean they were obliging enough to treat all dependent tribes as their own to protect.

And in such open, unshielded places, unless the Mammoth tribe constantly guards, they constantly face various wild animals.

Since the Mammoth Tribe primarily eats vegetables, the animals around were seldom hunted, making the area more dangerous than other places in a way.

It’s precisely due to this tribal characteristic of the Mammoth tribe that many small tribes hoping for protection hesitate, ensuring the Mammoth tribe remains in peace.

However, the Silver Tiger tribe was different, coming to provide life-saving aid and being welcomed warmly. Upon departure, Li Yi specifically escorted several beastmen out of the dangerous zone before returning.

When Li Yi and his companions returned, the Mammoth tribe was full of excitement. The Mammoth tribe’s population was even larger than the Silver Tiger Clan, with a grand total of over twenty thousand individuals.
