Because both civilizations are about to go to war, yet these Volcano Race members could still greet them with such warm smiles, even giving gifts at the first meeting.
In their view, if their counterpart doesn't have some conspiracy, then it must be because they have absolute confidence in their victory, not worried at all about the upcoming war.
The ten of them have always thought this way, ever since they entered the realm of the Volcano Race, from touring the area to being 'forced' to sample the Volcano Tribe's cuisine.
Throughout the journey, all ten were on edge, constantly worried about when the Volcano Tribe might suddenly take control of them.
During this time, Dai Changlin was not swayed by flattery, nor did he forget his mission due to the enthusiasm of the Volcano Tribe.
He repeatedly asked indirectly about the population and number of experts within the Volcano Race, as well as the architectural layout, among other things.
The Volcano Clan Leader surprisingly revealed everything, not hiding anything, and anything that wasn't particularly secretive was disclosed, as if speaking to a true close friend, chatting openly, bewildering Dai Changlin.
The Volcano Race was simply too enthusiastic, and during the visit, they even introduced the tribe's beautiful women, making the ten people exclaim in distress.
Because the location of the Volcano Race is a very hot environment, even though the Volcano Race's own body temperature is inherently high, they appear hot in such an area, so they wear very little clothing.
The females of the Volcano Race are no exception, especially while within the tribe.
The Volcano Tribe introduced the beautiful women to Dai Changlin and the ten others, with all appropriately covered areas shielded, while other parts were entirely exposed.
Making them still think the Volcano Race might use seduction techniques to control them, like the allure of the Fox Tribe in myths, to gather intelligence on the Earth Civilization.
However, throughout the whole process, those beautiful women of the Volcano Tribe didn't do anything inappropriate, because they were too tense, staying alert throughout, making the ten Volcano women somewhat unhappy and went away disappointed.
The ten weren't even regretful about this, instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Because from the bottom of their hearts, they felt the Volcano Race harbored ill intentions, and there was simply no chance of enjoying any beauties here.
Of course, the difference in body temperature also made it impossible for them to indulge.
Even though they were all individual-level Superpower Users, not everyone's constitution could strengthen alongside their superpower, just because their combat power was strong didn't mean their physique was also robust.
The morning schedule came to a close.
In the afternoon, the Volcano Clan Leader departed, leaving Yan Bing, the previous guide, to host them.
Dai Changlin and his companions thought the opposing side was finally about to reveal their true motives.
After all, after so many 'strategies', they still couldn't control them, indicating that perhaps it was time to get serious.
As a result, what followed shocked them even more.
Because the first thing Yan Bing mentioned was the establishment of diplomatic relations with them.
That's right, the Volcano Race proactively proposed establishing diplomatic relations with the Earth Civilization, and with great sincerity.
Yan Bing willingly brought out the first genuine small gift, a specialty, a type of sorghum rice grown in the volcano's crater.
"This is our tribe's staple food, we call it Volcano Rice, production is acceptable, a small token of friendliness, if friends from Earth Civilization are interested, we can trade it, the details of the trade can be discussed later. Of course, these are gifts, you can take some back when you return."
This was Yan Bing's original words.
Dai Changlin was genuinely puzzled.
What exactly is the Volcano Race civilization up to?
Isn't there a war about to start?
Why suddenly engage in diplomacy?
At this point, they're already beginning to waver, questioning if they might have been overthinking things.
But they are ultimately special forces, with unwavering beliefs, determined not to change their decision so easily.
Hence, Dai Changlin pretended to put away the 'small gift,' continuing to banter with Yan Bin while watching Yan Bing's enthusiastic performance.
He was also very moved, feeling the depth of the Volcano Race's heritage was overwhelmingly profound.
Not to mention other things, just this Volcano Rice alone is something Earth Civilization cannot buy even with gold.
Because according to Yan Bing, even ordinary people can consume this Volcano Rice and easily digest it.
After eating, ordinary people can prolong their life, and long-term consumption is beneficial for enhancing Superpower Users' abilities.
Moreover, this Volcano Rice has another function, which is wine-making.
Wine brewed from Volcano Rice naturally carries a rich Fire Element, which could absolutely be considered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for Fire Superpower Users.
And the Volcano Race, astonishingly, is willing to sell it in large quantities to the Earth Civilization.
Of course, Yan Bing also made it clear that since this is part of the Volcano Race's foundation, they will only sell the finished Volcano Rice, not the seeds.
This can be understood, otherwise, Dai Changlin would have thought the other side was deceiving him.
Then, the Volcano Race brought out another specialty, Volcanic Ceramic.
Indeed, ceramic.
This thing is a rarity within the Volcano Race because their ceramics, naturally, possess special characteristics, used for meals or water drinking, they can evoke the Fire Element between Heaven and Earth.
This is somewhat exaggerated, though this object pales compared to a Marvel, since it merely evokes the Fire Element between Heaven and Earth without providing any other special effects.
However, in Dai Changlin and others' eyes, this could absolutely serve as a weakened version of Marvel.
This kind of thing, provided to Fire Superpower Users, would definitely serve as a divine artifact for assisting cultivation.
Of course, Yan Bing also mentioned that ordinary people should best avoid using it; otherwise, they might suffer from fire excessiveness, possibly resulting in calamities.
After all, anything born from a volcano isn't an ordinary object.
Humans from the Earth Civilization are ultimately not Volcano people, who are naturally drawn to flames and have high inherent body temperatures, strong constitutions, with even their young capable of using such ceramics as toys.
This aspect is also unmatched by Earth Civilization.
Following this, Yan Bing presented one specialty item after another.
Food, items for use, and even those for display, leaving Dai Changlin and others dazzled and deeply shocked.
Because the depth of the Volcano Race's heritage is genuinely terrifying, even their everyday snacks carry rich Fire Elements, while some slightly better foods harbor rich Fire Energy.
Furthermore, there are even exquisite items that can grant ordinary people a Fire Constitution, with prolonged use potentially improving physique and enhancing potential.
This is merely food, at least to the Volcano Race, it's just food, though somewhat pricy, still far from treasures.
Like originally on Earth, one pound of some snowflake beef could cost thousands or tens of thousands, though pricey, it remains within the range of ordinary food, far from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Enclosed above, are the real treasures.
Yan Bing showed no reservations, seemingly not viewing Dai Changlin and others as imminent war envoys from a foreign civilization, presenting all those treasures one by one.
"This is Fire Spirit Spring Water, sourced from our tribe's sacred land, anyone who drinks it has a chance to awaken the Fire Spirit Body, even if they don't the first time, then second, third, fourth, they still have a chance; it has enormous effects on those without innate superpowers, though, it is quite expensive."
"This is a Volcano Spirit, the Beast Taming Superpower Users' best companion, capable of triggering volcanoes or discovering Fire Veins, locating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures infusing the Fire Element. By the way, when you arrived, we welcomed the Earth Civilization envoys using these Volcano Spirits to trigger a volcano, it was our welcoming ritual."
