The girl in the white fur coat, striking in appearance and full of charisma, accompanied by a large number of people, caused everyone from the Jiang tribe to freeze in place, not daring to make any rash moves.
Bai Ya, concerned for Mu Feng's safety, followed along and, upon seeing the girl and her majestic mount, felt somewhat inferior and unconsciously lowered her head.
Others, naturally oblivious to her change in mindset, focused their attention on the unexpected group of visitors.
Li Hu approached Mu Feng from behind, tensing up as he observed the number and attire of the people in front.
His expression changed drastically upon seeing the girl in the white fur coat and the creature she was riding, exclaiming in a low voice, "Armored Earth Dragon!"
"Armored Earth Dragon?" Mu Feng, startled, quickly communicated with the system in his mind and grasped the situation.
The so-called Armored Earth Dragon, similar to the descendants of the ancient Hammerhead Dragon, was covered in armor, with its head and tail twisted into large knots, and scales draped over its body.
Strictly speaking, the Armored Earth Dragon was not just a wild beast but rather a rare creature.
A girl who could use such a rare creature as a mount must have an extraordinary identity and background.
Such a girl, followed by so many well-dressed people, far superior to those of the Jiang tribe, was no wonder the tribespeople were filled with fear and unease.
After all, they had only recently been plundered by the Mang Long tribe!
Mu Feng slightly furrowed his brow and, after some thought, greeted her with an ancient tribal etiquette, crossing his hands over his chest: "May I ask what brings the higher tribe here?"
"Higher tribe" was a term of respect used by smaller tribes for larger tribes or tribal alliances.
With this single phrase, Mu Feng clearly showed his stance.
Facing a group with superior numbers and without initiating conflict, and being in a position of weakness, he chose to show temporary friendliness.
The girl on the mount seemed slightly surprised.
As the favored daughter of her tribe, she had visited many smaller tribes and was used to seeing others act nervous and avoid direct eye contact in her presence.
Why did this young man, seemingly around her age, appear so calm and unflustered?
How did he know such ancient etiquette?
And why, at such a young age, was he standing at the forefront of the group?
Before the girl could speak, a young man with a height of over 1.8 meters, even more robust than Ming Guang, and with a "painted face," shouted loudly, "How audacious, knowing we are from the higher tribe, yet you still don't perform the kneeling salute!"
"Hmm?" Mu Feng's heart sank, and he narrowed his eyes at him.
The man, clearly unaccustomed to being looked at in such a manner, was visibly uncomfortable, his eyes widened in anger, and he took a step forward, ready to act.
Li Hu and Ming Guang, their expressions changing drastically, stepped forward in unison.
However, the girl in the white fur coat suddenly spoke, her voice as melodious as a nightingale: "Agu Li, show no disrespect!"
Saying this, the girl leaped down from her mount, stepping forward just like Mu Feng, with her hands crossed but not against her chest, displaying a relaxed and graceful demeanor: "Hello, my name is Ke Changning, from the Qingniao tribe!"
The man, indeed, stepped back, still holding his head high in arrogance.
The girl in the white fur coat smiled like a flower in the wind: "My tribespeople and I are merely passing through here, we mean no harm."
Li Hu and Ming Guang remained tense, not even daring to breathe heavily.
However, a look of shock appeared on Li Hu's face: "The Qingniao tribe!"
The Qingniao tribe, one of the three largest tribes in the far west, was said to have as many people as dozens or hundreds of Jiang tribes combined!
He knew this because the Jiang tribe was special—it had also migrated from the far west.
Mu Feng, slightly taken aback, internally sighed with relief, his expression calm as he looked at the girl who introduced herself as Ke Changning and greeted again: "Since the higher tribe is just passing through, then we shall take our leave."
"Wait!" Changning called out, "I have something to ask you!"
"Ask me, what is it?" Mu Feng was surprised.
"How did you catch so many fish?" Changning's eyes curved, her phoenix eyes twinkling with stars.
"Hmm?" Mu Feng pondered internally whether to reveal the method or not.
Behind him, Li Hu and Ming Guang's expressions changed drastically, and they whispered sternly, "Mu Feng!"
Mu Feng quickly made a decision, looking at Changning.
The girl's face was full of anticipation, her beautiful eyes shining with sincerity.
But the man named Agu Li beside her narrowed his eyes, seemingly harboring ill intentions.
Mu Feng, analyzing the current situation, internally sighed, knowing "Under someone's roof, one cannot help but bow their head," and seeing that the girl posed no forceful threat, he opted to first show goodwill, choosing the lesser of two evils.
In an instant, he made his decision and nodded, "Okay!"
"Yay!" Changning's eyes widened in surprise, "Alright,
