His partner, the intellectual leader of the entire Black Bear Tribe, frowned when he heard the news.
The Black Bear leader stopped when he saw his partner's expression. He changed back into human form, moved closer to the sub-beast, and whispered, "Bao, why are you still not happy? Those guys are going to get beaten up."
The sub-beast reached out and pushed the black bear leader's resolute face away, and said softly, "I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" The Black Bear Chief continued to move closer.
"Have you forgotten why we moved here?" The sub-beast poked the black bear leader's head and continued, "Because those guys were causing trouble everywhere, we moved our tribe. Qingshan City also took us in because of those guys. Don't forget that we are still living in Qingshan City's hunting area."
"Well, so what?" the Black Bear Chief continued to ask.
"Qingshan City is now preparing to deal with those guys. If Qingshan City asks us to leave, then we have no reason to stay here."
"Compared to other places, the area managed by Qingshan City is actually the safest."
"They'll ask us to work for them, and then give us things. Even if we don't hunt large beasts this autumn and only hunt small and medium-sized beasts, combined with what we've saved, it will be enough for us to get through the entire winter."
"Also, the cubs and sub-beasts that can't hunt here can get enough food by helping them work, which will reduce your pressure a lot."
"Haven't you noticed? We haven't even had any injured members this year, because you didn't have to fight big beasts. In the past, during the autumn hunts, every time you encountered a big beast, you would fight tooth and nail to get enough food."
"But this year is different. If you encounter a large beast, you can choose to practice. Even if you can't catch it, it doesn't matter. We can take our time, just like you caught small beasts to practice with your cubs. This will hone your fighting ability in a safer environment."
After hearing what the sub-beast said, the Black Bear Chief's expression became serious for once. "So you're worried that we'll be driven away, but you want us to stay, right?"
The sub-beast nodded and touched his belly. "It's a little sub-beast. If he leaves here, I'm worried that he won't grow up."
The mortality rate of young sub-beasts is too high, and they have already lost one.
The other sub-beasts of the Black Bear Tribe also touched their bellies. One of them said, "It's a little orc. If he grows up here, he might become even stronger."
Another sub-beast said, "During this time here, I feel that I have become much healthier. Maybe I will have cubs soon."
The Black Bear Chief sat upright, lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about the words of his partner and those sub-beasts.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at the other tribesmen, and found that except for the sub-beasts, the beastmen were also lowering their heads. Even if he was slow-witted, he could see that the tribesmen did not want to leave here.
He looked at all his tribesmen one by one. The orcs were obviously much stronger. He could also feel that he himself was much stronger than before.
With his current state, he can fight a large beast alone without getting hurt.
The sub-beasts also had more flesh on their faces, unlike before, when their faces were yellow and their lips were sometimes bloodless.
The most obvious thing is that during this period, several sub-beasts in the tribe have given birth to cubs.
An unhealthy sub-beast cannot conceive a cub because it is very likely to threaten the sub-beast's life. Not only will there be no cub, but the sub-beast will also die. This is the sub-beast's body protecting the sub-beast.
The healthier they are, the greater their chances of conceiving a cub and the shorter the interval between births.
There are many couples in Qingshan City now whose first cub is not even ten years old, and whose second cub is already one or two years old. Some even have a second cub in their belly.
"In that case, we must go." The Black Bear Chief transformed into a giant black bear and said, "Although we're not as strong as the orcs in Qingshan City, we're stronger than the orcs in many tribes here. Let's go with them to fight those guys and gain merit in exchange for a chance to stay."
"After the cubs are replaced, they will have a stable environment to grow up in. They won't have to go hungry like we did, and they won't have to worry about not being able to feed their cubs anymore."
The words of the Black Bear Chief were responded to by all the orc warriors of the Black Bear Tribe. They unanimously decided to follow Qingshan City to find those guys who were running around.
In addition to them, many tribes were first excited and then confused when they heard the news.
They hadn't heard from those guys since they moved to the Qingshan City hunting area. Even during the time when the market was open, when there were so many people and it was so easy to create chaos, those guys didn't come to cause trouble.
It is conceivable that those guys are afraid of Qingshan City and dare not cause trouble for Qingshan City. They don’t even dare to approach Qingshan City’s hunting area. Why does Qingshan City spend so much effort to deal with those guys?
Those guys can't affect Qingshan City.
So someone bravely took advantage of the lunch break to find the people from Qingshan City in his group and ask them.
The person being asked was Mu.
Mu showed a kind smile and said, "You asked the right person. Xuan told me about this."
Feeling the gazes from all around, Mu spoke slowly, "If we let those guys continue to do bad things here, many tribes will not be able to live well. In order to survive, they will have no choice but to move to a safe place. But our Qingshan City hunting area is only this big. Even if we wanted to take in so many people, we can't."
"We hadn't planned to open up so much land this year, nor did we plan to take the risk of raising so many wild animals. But seeing that you have been forced into nowhere by those people, we have no choice but to work harder. We can't just take you in and let you starve to death in our hunting grounds."
Mu secretly changed the reason for Qingshan City's large-scale construction without leaving any trace.
He looked at the orc in front of him, who seemed lost in thought, and bared his white teeth. "Hey~ Our Qingshan City is so small that it can't accommodate all the people in the south. So we can only let them disappear in the south. That way, any tribe living in the south will no longer be harassed by them."
After saying that, he picked up his bowl and ate the food he had not finished, without realizing at all that what he had said had caused any impact on the people around him.
