Chapter 383 Seeking Charcoal
When Li Yan heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, but he still suppressed his excitement, pretended to be embarrassed, and said, "Patriarch Nanmang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that our Han Empire has just experienced the beast tide. It is also a heavy loss, many of our tribes need to build, this is really difficult!"

When Nanmang Patriarch heard this, he showed a disappointed expression. This time, most of the Nanmang tribe’s fortifications were destroyed by the Titan Dragon. It will be rebuilt, and it will not be complete within a year or so. If they are attacked during this time ,The consequences could be disastrous!

Moreover, now even the only industrial rubber has been destroyed, they will not be able to restore the tribe's rubber production for a while. Without rubber, they will not be able to exchange supplies with the Han Empire. Can't stand it!
Seeing the uncomfortable expression on the Nanmang patriarch's face, Li Yan said in embarrassment: "Nanmang patriarch, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you are not a tribe of our Han Empire. I'm afraid that if I help you, it will cause trouble for our Han Empire. The dissatisfaction of the various clans!"

"Clan Chief Yan, I understand." Patriarch Nanmang shook his head in disappointment.

"Nanmang patriarch, how about this? Your Nanmang tribe will join our Han Empire and become a part of us. Even if I help you with supplies, those tribes will not dare to speak up. Do you think it's okay?" Li Yan said .

"Join you?" Nanmang Patriarch's eyes flashed a hint of opportunity.

At this time, Yang Yan said seriously: "That's right, just like a tribe in the north of our empire before, they were also threatened by the northern alliance. Later, when they joined our Han Empire, the northern alliance did not dare to bully them." .”

Li Yan looked up at Yang Yan with satisfaction, thinking, this Yang Yan has been in business for several years, and now he has become so cunning that he can talk nonsense and still speak so truthfully.

The patriarch of Nanmang was moved when he heard that a tribe had joined the Han Empire.

"Patriarch Yan, you mean, as long as we join your empire, you will guarantee our safety?" Patriarch Nanmang asked hastily.

"Yes! However, you have to change your name to County, and I will send people down to help you manage your current tribe." Li Yan said.

"No other requirements?" Patriarch Nanmang asked after thinking about it.

"No!" Li Yan shook his head and said.

"Okay, Chief Yan, I will hand over the Nanmang tribe to you!" The chief Nanmang said hastily.

"Well, I will guarantee that no other alliance dares to bully your Nanmang tribe!" Li Yan said confidently.

After the beast tide, the weather became colder and colder.

With the help of the Han Empire, the Nanmang tribe stepped up construction, and the damaged rubber forests were slowly restored.

"It's so cold! This year's winter seems to be more difficult." Li Yan said while sitting in a corner of the imperial city, looking at the river in front of him.

Many dinosaurs hibernate in burrows before winter comes, but those ice and snow behemoths such as mammoths and woolly rhinos have just begun to move. In front of Li Yan, the elite mammoth Xiao Hei is happily playing with the elite direwolf with.

Once upon a time, these two beasts were the top beasts guarding the Jiang tribe, but as Li Yan tamed more powerful giant beasts one by one, they lost their status.

There was still a fire burning in front of Li Yan, and there were a few sweet potatoes hidden in the fire, and he was waiting here.

Not long after, Jiang Yi, Wen Shi, Beastmaster and others put on their equipment and came in front of Li Yan.

"Your Majesty, you can go!" said the Beastmaster.

"Well, good, let's go!" Li Yan said.

The group then went to the animal pen to take out the giant ice and snow beasts, while Li Yan took Xiao Hei and the direwolf and set off.

For this trip, they brought a lot of supplies, and they were going on a long trip.

In this way, the beast team left the valley and headed south.

After more than ten days, the trees around them turned into a coniferous forest. The dense coniferous forest stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are many iron trees in it. The oxygen here is surprisingly sufficient.

"Carbon Forest!" Li Yan said looking at the environment here.

They didn't stay long, but continued to go south. Ten days later, they came to a plain where there was no coniferous forest, but the climate became warmer and the vegetation was quite dense.

"Here is the plain where the island of distortion is located. If you go east, you will go to the island of distortion!" The beast king drove the dire bear to Li Yan and said, "Your Majesty, are we going there?"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "No, we came here this time to find coal mines, and by the way, build a base that can lead to the Aberration Land at any time. Our base cannot be built by the lake, because it is easy to be discovered by other alliances!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yan pointed to the opposite direction of the island of distortion and said, "Let's go over there!"

The direction Li Yan pointed at was a huge grass, and there were many huge bees and butterflies in the grass, and the horrible sound of insects was really penetrating.

Everyone hesitated, then drove the beast into the grass.

The dense grass was crowded by giant beasts, and everyone drove the beasts all the way. People didn't know the direction in the grass, but everyone had a guide stone, which was a specialty of the Nanmang tribe.

Under the guidance of the compass stone, everyone went westward, and before they knew it, they came to the edge of a river.

The river is more than 20 meters wide, the water is clear, and it flows from north to south, as if it was left over from the carboniferous forest.

"Let's go up!" Li Yan said, pointing to the north.

"Yes!"

The team of beasts went north along the river, and soon, there was a slope in front of them. The slope was not very steep, but it was full of trees. The strange thing was that the forest in front of them seemed to have been destroyed by a huge monster, like a giant beast from above. Down, many collapsed trees are thinking about the south.

"Your Majesty, look!" the Beastmaster said, pointing to the black soil on the ground.

Li Yan hurriedly jumped off the beast, picked up the black soil to look at, and saw that the black soil had a soft stone quality, like charcoal!
"Ha, this is coal. This should be an open-pit coal mine. Well, this is the coal mine of our empire!" Li Yan said excitedly.

"Well, there is a river here, and it's also hidden. It's a good place to build a city here!" The Beastmaster also nodded.

However, Wen Shi said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Beastmaster, look at these destroyed trees, it seems that a huge beast has been here!"

After Wen Shi finished speaking, he ran to look around the broken logs. The more he looked, the more worried he became, especially when he found a huge animal footprint in the woods!
"Your Majesty, I can't take this place! There is a monster bigger than the Thunder Dragon here! Come and see the footprints!" Wen Shi said hastily.
