Chapter 35
Persuasion
After saying this, Kendall’s voice became even colder.
He looked at Lin Mai’s direction and said coldly, “Now, please leave our territory.”
“Otherwise, we’ll have to use force to get you out of here.”
When Lin Mai heard this, his expression turned anxious. He turned around and looked at Su Ming.
At that moment, Su Ming was only looking at Kendall’s direction indifferently. Lin Mai could not see the emotions in his eyes.
Kendall’s gaze also shifted to Su Ming, who was standing beside Lin Mai.
“Sir, I don’t know what method you used to deceive Lin Mai, but we Undead won’t be completely deceived by you!”
“Our legacy has been passed down to this day, and we are a tribe with wisdom!”
When Su Ming heard his words, he could not help but roll his eyes.
If the Undead tribe was really intelligent, they would not have made the decision to not drink living blood hundreds of years ago.
At the very least, he should only consider doing this after finding enough replacement resources.
“You don’t have to be so hostile toward Lin Mai. We don’t seem to be a threat to you,” Su Ming said calmly.
“Now, all you need to do is wait for a while. Let us prove to you that Lin Mai has found a substitute for blood.
“This process will only take a few minutes at most.
“Let’s use a few minutes to see if the Undead tribe can find a different path. This should be a more cost-effective deal for you, right? ”
Kendall exchanged glances with his partner and saw a hint of hesitation in each other’s eyes.
The two of them seemed to be still thinking and weighing whether they should believe Su Ming’s words and let them prove the truth of the matter.
However, Su Ming had already lost his patience.
After letting out a soft sigh, Su Ming’s gaze turned slightly cold. He then waved his hand in Kendall’s direction.
Kendall and the Undead beside him were slightly puzzled by Su Ming’s actions.
However, Su Ming’s actions were not meant for them.
The moment Su Ming waved his hand, the few Tree Demons who had sneaked through the forest on both sides of the mountain path to Kendall’s side took control of the two of them almost instantly.
“Dammit! What do you want to do? You damn intruders!”
Kendall’s face was filled with anger as he struggled and shouted.
“And Lin Mai, you traitor of the Undead! You actually brought people to invade our tribe!
“A guy like you deserves to be expelled by us!”
Kendall’s mouth was full of insults, and Lin Mai’s face turned dark.
However, Su Ming did not care about the uncle and nephew’s situation. Instead, he beckoned a Tree Demon over and patted his head.
In an instant, tree sap began to flow out of the Tree Demon’s body.
Su Ming brought out the wooden bowl he had prepared long ago and poured the sap into it.
Then, he held the bowl of sap and walked in front of the two of them. He even passed the wooden bowl to Kendall.
The moment the sap was taken out, Kendall and his companions’ gazes were drawn to the bowl of sap.
When Su Ming brought the tree sap in front of them, Kendall could not help but gulp.
At that moment, he was no longer in the mood to berate Su Ming and Lin Mai, the two damned invader and traitor.
All of his attention was on the bowl of tree sap that was as alluring as fresh blood.
“What...what...what is this thing?”
Kendall’s eyes were filled with drool, and he finally managed to shift his gaze away from the tree sap.
Su Ming smiled when he heard that. “This is what Lin Mai was talking about. It’s something that can replace blood.
“So...do you want to try?”
Kendall wanted to nod, but when he thought about how tough he was just now, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Thus, he just stood there with his neck straightened, but his eyes were fixed on the sap in front of him.
Su Ming shook his head. After he waved Lin Mai over, he spoke to him.
“I’m feeding your uncle his medicine.”
Lin Mai nodded, then brought the bowl to Kendall’s mouth.
Kendall could not hold it in any longer and immediately lowered his head to drink.
It did not take long for the tree sap in the wooden bowl to be completely drained.
After Kendall finished drinking the sap, he even burped out in satisfaction.
His companions looked at Kendall’s comfortable state with envy in their eyes.
When he saw the bowl of sap, he understood.
What Lin Mai said before was true. He had really found something that could replace blood and allow the Undead to survive.
Of course, Su Ming could see the desire in his eyes. After summoning the Tree Demon, he took another bowl of tree sap and passed it to him.
In a short while, the bowl of sap was also completely drunk.
Once he was done, Su Ming did not say anything else. Instead, he had the Tree Demon let go of the two people.
Then, Su Ming looked at the two people before him and spoke.
“I’ve already proven to you that I do have a way to make the Undead survive without drinking blood.”
“And I have a few hundred subordinates like this kind of Tree Demon.”
After a slight pause, Su Ming continued speaking.
“As far as I know, you should be considered conservative in the Undead tribe, right? Are you guys really willing to keep on sucking on living blood?
“The opportunity is right in front of you. It’s up to you to choose.
“If you still think it’s impossible, I can turn around and leave now.”
Once Su Ming finished speaking, he did not say anything else. He only looked at the two of them indifferently.
For a moment, the crowd fell into an awkward silence.
Kendall and his companions looked at each other again, but this time, the emotions in their eyes were completely different from before.
After some thought, Kendall finally nodded.
“Since you’ve already proven to us that you have a way for us to survive without drinking blood,” the old man said.
“Of course I have an obligation to make sure that more of our comrades in the tribe know their ways.”
When Su Ming heard that, he nodded.
He was not too surprised by this result.
He knew it when he saw the two of them guarding the door for the Undead on the path.
In the current Undead tribe, the conservative faction was bound to be the one being excluded.
As long as he could prove that he had something to replace blood, he was not worried that these conservatives would not yield.
