Qi Mo nodded and said, "I’m full, don’t worry, I’m going now."
With that, she waved and headed for her own tent.
After Ji Nuan finished the gruel in the porcelain bowl, she filled so more and handed it to Xiu Yan. While watching him eat, she said, "This morning, Uncle Chief agreed with the Clan Leader of the Gray Bear Tribe. When you guys go hunting today, you’ll be sending him back to the Dashi Tribe’s territory on the way."
Xiu Yan, in his Orc form, finished the gruel in the bowl and raised an eyebrow at this news. "Didn’t the clan leader ask him about yesterday’s incident?"
Ji Nuan shook her head, "He probably did ask, but I wasn’t there at the ti, so I didn’t hear anything. However, since Uncle Chief allowed him to return, the Clan Leader of the Gray Bear Tribe should not be a beast with evil intentions."
Xiu Yan pursed his lips and nodded, "we should still go ask Uncle Chief later, whether those orcs from yesterday are the ones from the two tribes Fu Yi heard about last ti."
Ji Nuan nodded in agreent, yes, she was also on the city wall yesterday. If they were beasts from two tribes, their numbers seed too few.
It wasn’t until close to noon that Chief Ge Xing, who helped Aunt Naima clean the beast skins, returned from the creek looking relieved. Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan approached him and led him to their tent.
Once they settled down in the tent, Ji Nuan started speaking, "Uncle Chief, Xiu Yan and I want to ask you about what happened yesterday. Those beasts beneath the city wall were..."
Upon hearing this, Ge Xing sighed deeply, his face turning grim instantly, "Those were from the two tribes. However, Teng Kui and Sangguo, from the Guo Tribe, used the weak orcs and female cubs as bait to safely reach the Watson Tribe. Other than the beasts that reached the city walls, the rest are all dead."
Ji Nuan gasped and covered her mouth, "These two are terrifying, even more so than Lu Te from the Tumang Tribe. To ensure their own survival, they sent all of their kinsn to their deaths."
Xiu Yan’s deep gaze sank, then he asked, "What about Da Xiong?"
Ge Xing shook his head, "Sangguo from the Guo Tribe tricked him into a cave. Then Teng Kui and a few orcs knocked him out and took him away. That was their way to get into our tribe. In the end, they were only interested in escaping and left him hanging in a tree."
Ji Nuan couldn’t help but worry for the Clan Leader of the Gray Bear Tribe. He was lucky to be found by Xiu Yan and his team; otherwise, once the beasts retreated to the forest, wouldn’t he be surrounded by the Beast Group!
Ji Nuan looked at Ge Xing and said, "Uncle Chief, I want to go with them when they send Clan Leader of the Gray Bear Tribe back today. I’d like to see if I can dig up so crispy sweet fruit seedlings from their territory while the Gray Bear Tribe isn’t there."
Ge Xing frowned, "Ji Nuan, why don’t we wait until the beast tide recedes? It’s too dangerous now."
Xiu Yan frowned, his handso face full of disapproval, his thin lips moved to directly reject, "No."
Ji Nuan knew they wouldn’t easily agree, so she continued, "The Tribal Gathering of the Gray Bear Tribe is based on the exchange of crispy sweet fruit. If we wait for the beast tide to subside, they definitely won’t let us dig."
Xiu Yan said, "Tell what they look like, I’ll pick them. You can’t go."
Ji Nuan pouted, "I want to go because I don’t know what they look like!"
