But would Zhou Tian agree to their proposal?
Indeed, Zhou Tian's current situation isn't great, facing not only the threat from the Burrow Spiders race but also wary of potential attacks from the Undead Overlord. For some monsters with an unstable foundation, they might choose to cede territory to them, particularly when they've already occupied quite a lot of their land to ensure peace.
However, given Zhou Tian's nature, he'd rather shatter than be whole, so even if it were about handing over his territory to other strange monsters, he would never allow opportunistic enemies like the Burrow Spiders to take advantage of him. Hence, under these circumstances, Zhou Tian's rejection of the Burrow Spiders' proposal was unequivocal.
In fact, Zhou Tian's rejection was unusually brusque.
"Withdraw immediately and cede three thousand li of territory, then we can act as if nothing happened," he demanded.
