He jumped down the wall to wash off the dirt on his body, then walked towards the city gate. From a distance, he saw Xiong Da, who was as big as a hill, standing there. He teased, "Silly bear, how much do you miss me? We just separated not long ago, why are you looking for me again?"
Xiong Da rolled his eyes and said, "Stop being so narcissistic here. Who cares about you? I came here to tell you something very important."
Seeing that he looked very serious, Ge Xing put away his playful smile and walked towards the tribe with Xiong Da.
"Do you live in a small shed like this?" Big Bear touched the tent made of animal skins and asked.
Ge Xing sighed, "Yeah, after migrating here, we found that there was no territory in the forest large enough for our tribe to survive, so we had no choice but to come to this flat land. At least we could catch a few yellow sheep and blue cattle beasts."
What Ge Xing said was quite sad, and Xiong Da couldn't help feeling sour after hearing it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you bring these people to join our Grizzly Bear Tribe? Our territory is large and there are many prey. As long as you hunt hard, you won't go hungry."
Ge Xing shook his head in sorrow: "Let's talk about it later. Who would be willing to abandon their tribe unless it is absolutely necessary?"
Xiong Da nodded: "Yes, it is passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors."
Wiping away the non-existent tears from his eyes with some sadness, Ge Xing looked at Xiong Da: "What are you doing here today? I thought you should be arranging the beast tide in the tribe now?"
Big Bear nodded and said, "Basically, it has been arranged. I came here to tell you that our Grizzly Tribe, Big Stone Tribe, Fruit Tribe and Vine Tribe have decided to unite. Tomorrow we will gather on the mountain where the Big Stone Tribe is located to resist the beast tide together.
I came here this time to ask you if your Watson tribe wants to join us."
Ge Xing blinked. Is there such a united organization among the downstream tribes?
He nodded excitedly: "Of course, there are too few beasts in our tribe, and there is not enough food. It would be the best if you could join us."
Xiong Da shook his head awkwardly: "Ge Xing... it's like this, because your tribe has too few beasts and can't play a big role in resisting the beast tide, the other three tribes are a little reluctant. What they mean is that if they want to protect your tribe, they need you to contribute some food."
Ge Xing's expression instantly turned bitter: "Xiong Da, given our relationship, I won't hide it from you. The food stored in our tribe has long been eaten up. Now we can only have some food to eat by relying on the orcs to go out hunting. There is no way to share it with you!"
Big Bear pursed his lips and said, "If there was only one tribe like ours, I would definitely let you join, but now..." He shook his head.
Ge Xing patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. I believe we can hold on even if we are alone."
Xiong Da just thought that he was comforting himself. Since the deal was not concluded, he was too embarrassed to sit there any longer and immediately said goodbye to Chief Ge Xing.
At the gate of the tribal city, Ge Xing smiled as he watched Big Bear's figure gradually going away. He didn't know who would come to seek whose protection in the future.
