Even though he was the heir beast of a major tribe, ng Tai showed no trace of the arrogance typically associated with such a position. Instead, he was remarkably humble, making the beasts feel a sudden affinity for him.
Bear quickly stepped forward saying: "Let’s go, we can talk inside."
Then he turned to Luo Ke and said: "Luo Ke, I beg your favor to escort our guests from the Monte Tribe to the tents so they can rest."
Luo Ke nodded with assurance: "Don’t worry, I can take care of the rest."
Inside the cave, Shi Jie sat by the fire pit adding more firewood. Surprised to see ng Tai entering from outside, he almost jabbed his foot with the fire stick in his hand: "ng Tai? How co you are here too?"
With a shared glance, ng Tai and Bear both laughed. Bear ambled forward: "He knew of the Serra Tribe’s plan, and ca to help us."
ng Tai made himself comfortable on the beast skin cushion with no pretense, "The Divine Tree Clan has already notified all the primary trade tribes about the upcoming Grand Trade eting. Now the Eneru Forest is ho only to the Dashi Tribe and the Gray Bear Tribe, so you should prepare more items. This ti, it should be possible to exchange for more leaves and branches."
Bear and Shi Jie shared a bitter look. They had been concealing the deaths of Teng Kui and Sangguo, but it seems the Divine Tree Clan already knew.
They could only give a strained laugh and nod, "We didn’t have a good year. Let’s try our best. The Beast Tide has just passed, even if we want to get more, it’s pointless without any items for trade."
ng Tai could only nod in agreent: "I might have to stay in your tribe till the Grand Trade eting and then go with you. Otherwise, the orcs I brought won’t be enough as appetizers for those monstrous fishes."
Bear and Shi Jie both nodded, "Of course, there’s no problem. Do you prefer tents or a cave? We can have the orcs set it up for you."
ng Tai smiled and said: "A tent will be fine. We are accustod to living in tents during this season when we are at our tribe."
Bear nodded and quickly made arrangents.
Inside the cave, all fell quiet for a mont. ng Tai’s eyes changed a few tis before he spoke: "There is sothing else that I think I should tell the two Clan Leaders."
Seeing his serious deanor, Shi Jie and Bear both beca somber: "Is it about the Grand Trade eting?"
ng Tai nodded, "The Divine Tree Orc who ca to Lamu Forest is a close friend of my father’s. He told my father that at this Trade eting, they plan to reduce the exchange of Beast God Fruits. They want to preserve more of these fruits to increase their population."
The two Clan Leaders felt a little stunned: "So, does that an our lives won’t be peaceful in the foreseeable future?"
ng Tai replied, "That’s correct. All the primary tribes from different continents will be trying to garner allies. So domineering tribes might resort to violence for this purpose. You need to be careful."
The bitter smiles on the faces of Bear and Shi Jie said it all. Their tribes were so small that it was uncertain whether they could even survive the invasions by larger tribes, let alone resist!
As if perceiving their hesitation, ng Tai smiled and said, "After the Grand Trade eting, we will station our orcs at the Dashi Tribe’s camp."
