Bai Yingying is still the same as usual.
Chi Zhen couldn't sit still any longer, "Ying'er, what are you waiting for?"
He looked at Bai Yingying's bulging belly worriedly, "The bigger the belly, the more suffering it will cause during the migration."
Bai Yingying looked out the window and saw the giant eagle flying over. She smiled and said, "I've waited for it."
Chi Zhen frowned when he heard this, "Brother Ji Feng came back so early today."
Monsoon often patrols the coast for the tribe these days and usually doesn't come back so early.
Ji Fan descended with his wings flapping, and shouted in a loud voice, "Yingying, the Long Ape Tribe has really come to ask for help, and they've already gone to the tribe leader."
He did not volunteer to go on inspection, but was assigned the task by Bai Yingying.
While patrolling, they openly monitor any outsiders who come to the tribe, especially the ape orcs.
"Let's go." Bai Yingying stood up immediately and said loudly, "Achen, you stay home with the baby. We'll be back later."
After Luo Chen agreed, she took Chi Zhen downstairs.
These days, Luo Chen has also gotten used to his current life.
He is afraid of socializing. Whenever Bai Yingying goes out, he will not go near her and will just stay at home to take care of the baby.
Because of this, Chi Zhen's attitude towards him became much better.
Chi Zhen often accompanies Bai Yingying out, and his mood has become more and more stable.
As time went by, the small building finally became much more harmonious.
Even the competition for favor rarely happened, which made Bai Yingying feel a lot more relaxed. She just felt that she had to find more things for them to do in the future so that they wouldn't be idle at home and cause conflicts.
The three of them went to the patriarch's thatched cottage.
When they arrived, the door of the hut was wide open.
Luo Dahua was just asking the visitors why they came. When he saw them coming, he not only did not drive them away, but also invited Bai Yingying and the other two to come in and listen together.
Bai Yingying didn't hesitate and went straight into the house and sat down.
Luo Dahua then looked at the ape-man again, "Are you saying that your people often disappear inexplicably?"
The visitor was a middle-aged ape-beast man with a strong aura. He looked very tired at the moment. "Yes, I didn't see any external enemies. But over a hundred of our tribesmen have disappeared in the past few days. It can't all be a coincidence."
"For the past two weeks, we've been hearing stories of people going missing. We later discovered that most of them were working in the salt pans or near the sea. Last time, you sent me news about mermaids. Initially, our leader didn't believe it, but..."
He said with a look of shame on his face, "We took it for granted. We, the Long Ape Tribe, are not good at water battles. Chief Luo, could you lend us a guard to patrol for us? Just ask for the reward!"
In fact, when the news came from the saltwater crocodile tribe, it caused an uproar in the long-horned ape tribe.
It’s not that they completely disbelieve in mermaids, but the salt fields are the foundation of their tribe.
It is impossible to ask them to give up without seeing it with their own eyes and just hearing it from others.
The chief could only order the tribesmen to avoid going to the beach unless they were working, and also sent more and stronger teams to patrol.
But recently, more and more tribesmen have disappeared, and even the guards have disappeared en masse.
Disappearing without a trace, extremely weird.
This caused panic to spread rapidly throughout their tribe, and the patriarch had to find a solution.
Several middle-aged men around Luo Dahua began to talk.
"The mermaids outnumber us. Even if we go on patrol, it won't help."
"Yes, our own tribe is small in number. What if we disperse the guards and are attacked by mermaids again?"
Bai Yingying didn't listen to their discussion. She just looked at the ape-man and asked, "Didn't the mermaid lure you with her singing?"
The man was stunned and puzzled: "What singing?"
Bai Yingying looked at Luo Dahua and said solemnly, "Chief, I suggest that our Saltwater Crocodile Tribe move out of this place as soon as possible."
Luo Dahua glanced at her bulging belly and didn't scold her. He just frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The mermaid that night had special abilities, but he hasn't used them recently. He must have used up some of them during his time with our Crocodile Tribe and hasn't recovered. But it's been over half a month since that happened. Even if he hasn't recovered yet, he'll be soon."
Bai Yingying continued, "As far as I know, the Long Ape Tribe isn't located by the sea. Even if the mermaids were singing by the sea, their singing wouldn't necessarily reach the entire tribe. And since our Saltwater Crocodile Tribe hasn't moved away, there's a good chance the mermaids will attack us again."
She glanced meaningfully at the ape-man who had come to rescue her. She said to Luo Dahua, "How about we move to the Long Ape Tribe first? We can help each other with the Long Ape Tribe and we won't be left without a place to live. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone in the room looked at Bai Yingying in surprise.
Chi Zhen had a puzzled look on his face, but considering there were so many people around, he didn't ask. He could only think about why according to Bai Yingying's thoughts.
Luo Dahua frowned even deeper. He did not refute immediately and seemed to be thinking about the feasibility.
The person who came was the head of a family with a certain status in the Changyuan tribe.
He smiled immediately upon hearing this. "If the Saltwater Crocodile Tribe could move into our Long Ape Tribe, we would definitely welcome you warmly. We have many houses in our tribe, so we can immediately make room for you. It's very simple. If you're willing, I'll go back to the tribe and make the arrangements right away."
He had never dared to think before that he could incorporate the saltwater crocodile tribe into his own tribe. Now that he saw the opportunity, of course he had to seize it.
This was exactly what Bai Yingying wanted him to say. Seeing that he formally invited Luo Dahua, she stopped talking.
After a while.
Luo Dahua did not agree directly, but only said: "Let us think about it."
The ape-man smiled brightly: "Okay, then I will wait for your reply, and then I will send someone to pick you up."
At this moment, he was eager to incorporate the saltwater crocodile tribe into his own tribe. Once incorporated, would he still need to ask for help? He could just assign them directly.
Luo Dahua politely sent the person away.
They were the only ones left in the house.
Luo Dahua's face suddenly darkened. "Bai Yingying, do you know what you just did and said? You're trying to make our Saltwater Crocodile Tribe integrate into someone else's tribe!"
To put it nicely, it is a temporary residence, but once you live in someone else's territory, you recognize the other party as the dominant party, which is no different from integration.
These saltwater crocodiles are powerful, solitary, and possess a superior status. How could they possibly integrate into the Long Ape Tribe? Even moving somewhere else would be better than staying in the Long Ape Tribe.
Especially now that the other party needs help, once you go there, you will become their free thug.
This suggestion is absolute shit!
If it weren’t for Bai Yingying’s great contribution and the fact that she was pregnant.
Ning Lan warned him again, telling him not to make her angry, otherwise, he would have refuted this shitty suggestion in front of everyone and scolded Bai Yingying.
