I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Chapter406-Mutual Cooperation
Upon hearing this, their lips involuntarily curved upwards—John indeed thought this chief was a clever man.

To be honest, he knew that the technological civilization here might not be like theirs, but that didn’t mean the people here were fools.

Those who become chiefs are certainly not simple characters, especially those who wield significant influence here.

“There is no indelible hatred between us; we can certainly cooperate. If we can join forces to bring down the Panther Tribe, what do you think?”

John said, his lips curling into a slight, cunning smile.

However, to the chief of the Eagle Tribe, it sounded almost like a joke.

“Stop joking. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to; you just want to use this situation to belittle us. Let me tell you, we of the Eagle Tribe will never bow down,” the Eagle Tribe chief responded.

The other tribespeople also looked at John with resentment.

If looks could kill, John would have been mutilated a thousand times over.

Yet John didn’t care; he simply manipulated the serpent to sway slightly up and down.

In that moment, the Eagle Tribe chief felt his stomach churn so violently he was nearly sick.

The people around glared furiously at John, shocked that he would dare to make such a bold move.

“I warn you, don’t go too far!”

One of them shouted at John, who merely glanced at him and curled his lips upward in a smirk, then had the serpent’s tail perform a 360-degree spin without hesitation.

In that instant, the chief of the Eagle Tribe turned pale as a ghost, and unable to contain himself any longer, he vomited violently.

What little control he had managed to maintain vanished after several rotations, and he vomited without hesitation.

It was unbearably miserable.

The warriors of the Eagle Tribe watched in horror as their chief, the most formidable warrior of their tribe, was tortured to this extent—a truly inconceivable sight!

Meanwhile, John’s staff moved slightly, and in a flash, dozens of thorny vines surged from the ground, encircling them completely.

Dozens of giant pythons wound around them, and even the nearby trees were swiftly crushed.

John could distinctly feel that as the trees were destroyed, the life force and inscriptions of the Eagle Tribe began to dim significantly.

Just as he suspected, their inscriptive power came from a completely different source.

John’s lips curled into an upward arc, and his eyes gleamed with a look of certainty.

The weather was clear today, so the people of the Zebra side wouldn’t be weakened in any way.

However, after he had broken all the trees, he distinctly noticed the expressions on the faces of his adversaries growing weaker.

But he also encountered significant resistance in breaking these trees.

After all, these trees bore inscriptions, meaning they were harder than ordinary trees and could not be destroyed by normal means.

This explained why the people here were empowered in this place; these trees possessed inscribed powers.

“Now, are you willing to sit down and have a proper talk with us? I’ve said it before; I won’t kill you. I’m only interested in cooperation,” John said, his face still wearing that faint smile.

But at this moment, that smile appeared to others like the grimace of the Grim Reaper—terrifying!

It was horrifying how effortlessly he had destroyed the trees they relied on for survival.

In that moment, they felt the strength within them diminished by half, which was utterly terrifying.

They looked at John in horror, while the chief of the Eagle Tribe clenched his teeth tightly, fearing that speaking again might cause him to vomit.

“I’m sorry, I forgot that it’s somewhat inconvenient for you to speak in this position. Let me set you down, and you just honestly answer me whether we can work together, alright?”

With a smile, John controlled the serpent’s tail to gently place the Eagle Tribe chief back on the ground.

After all, if they were to have a proper discussion, he certainly needed to show some goodwill.

If he appeared too coercive, it would be a different matter.

Upon seeing their chief being lowered to the ground, the expressions on the faces of the Eagle Tribe members changed instantly; they were eager to rush to his side.

However, they still watched John with wary eyes, as if expecting him to do something dreadful at any moment.

“What exactly do you want?”

The Eagle Tribe chief wiped the dirt from his mouth, his face showing a look of disgust, but his concern over John’s proposal was more evident.

“As I said, we can collaborate. The Panther Tribe is our common enemy. If you agree to work with me, I can give you one-third of everything we take from the Panther Tribe,” John stated, offering what he considered a very fair deal.

However, the Eagle Tribe chief scoffed in response.

“Don’t forget we were originally enemies. Your words hold no credibility to me.”

John remained unfazed by the Eagle Tribe chief’s skepticism, merely raising an eyebrow slightly.

“I know you don’t trust me right now, but do you have a choice?”

As he spoke, John placed the knife lightly against Dark Fox’s neck, a simple gesture that was terrifying enough.

“Don’t forget, your entire tribe is at my mercy right now. It would be easy for me to kill you all.”

“If I kill you, I can still take everything you have, and then face the Panther Tribe alone. In that scenario, you wouldn’t get anything from dealing with them.”

“Right now, I’m offering you life and even a chance to cooperate with me. If we defeat the Panther Tribe together, I’m willing to give you one-third of the spoils. Isn’t that enough?”

Some of the more simple-minded members of the Eagle Tribe brightened at these words, thinking it might be a good deal if they could survive and even gain something from it.

However, the Eagle Tribe chief quickly realized something in that instant.

If this deal was truly so favorable, why would John need to collaborate with him?

“You’re only proposing this partnership because you can’t take down the Panther Tribe alone, aren’t you? You want to use us as cannon fodder?”

“As nice as it sounds to give us one-third, the truth is you probably can’t handle them on your own, and that’s why you’re now looking to cooperate with us.”

Upon hearing the chief’s words, the other members of the Eagle Tribe instantly became more composed.

Indeed, if they could secure a portion of the benefits on their own, why would they need to share with anyone else?

Was it not because they couldn’t manage it alone?

Hearing this, the chief of the Zebra Tribe’s expression soured, and he glanced at John with a questioning look in his eyes.

John knew what she was probably thinking, which was whether they could simply eliminate this man.

“I indeed cannot defeat the Panther Tribe on my own,” John admitted, “but if I were to absorb your strength, that would change things.”
