Chapter 282: Chapter 281, Severe Cold_1
Bear chatted with Ge Xing, "I believe you saw mine and Shi Jie’s expressions. It’s not that we didn’t want to tell you, but our tribe in Eneru Forest is the weakest among the tribes participating in the grand trading fair."
Ge Xing’s cheek twitched because he was quite surprised about the fact Bear told him.
Bear continued, "Although we are going to the trading fair, really, our four tribes are dependent on the Monte tribe of the Lamu Mountains. Everything we bring is given to the Monte tribe who controls the trading process, and we are given a small share in the end."
Ge Xing was puzzled: "Why don’t you guys trade yourselves?"
Bear let out a bitter smile: "It’s not like we don’t want to."
Bear sighed, "Among the four tribes, none of them have a beast-man that’s evolved. To earn a trading slot, we need to fight first to select the five strongest tribes. The Divine Wood Tree only trades with these five tribes, and the other tribes do not have trading slots."
Ge Xing nodded his comprehension: "So, you can only give your things to the tribes that have the five slots and let them trade and distribute the proceeds?"
Bear’s face turned awkward, and he nodded.
Ge Xing asked: "I noticed that you guys were not thrilled about our Watson tribe joining this grand trading fair?"
Bear didn’t lie and nodded honestly, "The leaves shed by the Divine Wood Tree are limited every year. If another tribe joins the fair, we would get a smaller portion, a situation all trading tribes dislike. In time, if the new tribe is weak, it will be suppressed by all other tribes and might even disappear on Beast God Mountain."
"Oof! I didn’t think this trading fair would be this risky."
Ge Xing turned his eyeballs around and complained, "From what the beasts of Gru tribe mentioned, the grand trading fair is always held during the hottest times of the fire season. Can’t they change the timing? It’s too hot for comfort!"
Bear rolled his eyes and retorted, "What do you know! It’s alright if you can’t stand the heat here, but Beast God Mountain is shrouded in severe cold all year round. During our hottest summer, the temperature on Beast God Mountain is bearable. If we miss this period and try to climb Beast God Mountain later, we might become ice blocks once we step foot on the mountain."
Hearing this, Ge Xing felt like a huge burden was lifted off his shoulders. He gratefully patted Bear’s shoulder, "Bear, thanks for telling me all this. Otherwise, I would have run to the trading fair without knowing anything."
Bear brushed it off, "Don’t mention it; you guys saved my life."
Having found out what he wanted to know, Ge Xing didn’t waste any more time, "Alright, there’s no need for you to accompany me any further. I will head back now. Once this damned beast tide recedes, come to our tribe, and I will treat you to a delicious meal."
Thinking about the food in Watson’s tribe, Bear swallowed involuntarily, "Sure thing. Don’t say that I eat too much then."
Ge Xing laughed out loud, "Are you going to wipe out all the food of the Watson tribe? Ha-ha!"
With that being said, he agilely climbed onto the back of Xiu Yan, who wore a disgusted expression, waved goodbye at Bear, and announced, "Let’s go!"
Bear stood in his place, watching Ge Xing and his group of beasts disappear into the horizon, and sighed heavily.
