The location where the wood flowers grew wasn’t too far from the trading day market. Qi Bai saw from afar a large field of wood flowers that looked like they were dotted with clouds.
He suppressed his excitement as he followed Lu Ming and Xiong Nuan.
Lu Ming stretched out his hands and pinched a wood flower. “There are the most wood flowers here!”
Qi Bai was just about to call Xiong Feng to pick some wood flowers to take back when he turned around and saw Xiong Feng pulling out a huge animal skin bag, as if he was coming to purchase some goods.
Xiong Nuan blinked and said to Qi Bai, “Do you need so many?”
Qi Bai coughed lightly. “Yes, there are a lot of children in the tribe. We want to bring back more to give each child a few branches.”
Xiong Nuan nodded. Then he smiled and said, “Your tribe is really interesting. Everyone’s beast form is different.”
Lu Ming came up and said, “Speaking of this, I wonder what type of bear Xiong Feng is? The animal forms of Nuan’s tribe are quite interesting.”
Not far away, Xiong Feng was pulling up the wood flowers like a passing gust of wind. Qi Bai didn’t need to take any action for the time being.
Qi Bai simply followed Xiong Nuan’s example and sat down next to the wood flower field. He watched Lu Ming fiddling with the wood flowers and asked curiously, “What type of bear is it?”
Xiong Nuan turned over lazily and disappeared.
Qi Bai lowered his head and met a pair of round black eyes, a round little head, two black ears like round fans, four small black sleeves, and a waddling gait.
Qi Bai almost forgot how to breathe.
Xiong Nuan tilted his head. “Ying?”
Qi Bai was a bit confused by the cuteness. He reached out and held the little giant panda in his arms.
Oh my god! Was this something he could get for free?
The beast form of the War Bear Tribe was actually a giant panda!!
Qi Bai turned his head and looked directly at the beastman who accompanied Xiong Nuan out of the house. He unknowingly adopted a tone that he would use to deceive a child. “Xiong Qi, you should also transform into a beast to let me see.”
Xiong Qi looked at the trapped Xiong Nuan who was unable to move at all. For some reason, he felt a chill. He couldn’t help taking a step back. “I’ll go help Xiong Feng collect the wood flowers.”
Qi Bai was a bit disappointed. Xiong Qi was a horned beastman. His beast form was huge. Maybe he would have the majesty of the legendary Chi You’s mount. Qi Bai was really looking forward to it.
But it didn’t matter even if there wasn’t a huge giant panda. Qi Bai rubbed the belly and little feet of the little panda in his arms, wondering in a daze if he was in heaven.
“Ying.”
Xiong Nuan covered his eyes with his two little black paws. He secretly looked at Qi Bai’s smiling face through the gaps in his paws and thought, ‘Oh, I’m really shy but also so comfortable.’
Lu Ming smiled and teased him, “Bao Bai, since you like the beast form of the War Bear Tribe so much, why don’t you just go and find a mate from the War Bear Tribe. This way, your babies can be little bears.”
Qi Bai simply shook his head. “We can play together when we become friends.”
The little giant panda curled up in Qi Bai’s arms smacked his lips with a bit of disappointment. Then he rubbed Qi Bai’s chin with his head.
“Hmph, what’s so good about these bears? The beast forms of our Xushan Tribe are more majestic.”
Lu Ming frowned in disapproval. “Hu Wei, why are you following us?”
Hu Wei casually pulled a wood flower. “Who is following you? This wood flower grows on the ground. Everyone can come and pick it.”
Qi Bai held the little giant panda and moved away. He chose to stay away from this unruly and willful Hu Wei.
But Hu Wei’s idea was obviously different from Qi Bai’s. In fact, he saw Qi Bai following Lu Ming and guessed that they were coming here, so he chased after them.
After all, it was known to everyone that Lui Ming liked these flowers that weren’t bright in color and didn’t smell good.
Hu Wei pretended not to see Qi Bai’s actions and sat down next to Qi Bai. “Where is your slave?”
Qi Bai said in a perfunctory manner, “He didn’t come.”
Hu Wei choked up and felt very embarrassed. He took a deep breath and asked directly, “How did you raise your slave so strong?”
Qi Bai replied, “Oh, just eat more.” After saying this, Qi Bai thought of something and smiled.
Hu Wei frowned. “But he doesn’t like to eat.”
Qi Bai looked at Hu Wei. “Who is he?”
Hu Wei answered awkwardly, “He is my slave.”
Qi Bai was furious. “So you wanted to steal my slave on the trading day just for this person?”
Hu Wei said confidently, “I have never seen such a strong slave. I will take him back to show my slave and let him become like this.”
Qi Bai looked at Hu Wei like he was a fool. “Are you sick?”
“The people of the Xushan Tribe are all sick.” Lu Ming sneered. He pointed at Hu Wei and said, “You are the largest tribe in the Northern Wilderness, but you ignored the Sanghuo Tribe and went to the trading day to steal other people’s slaves. You are really useless.”
After hearing about the Sanghuo Tribe, Hu Wei wasn’t angry but said indifferently, “In any case, our Xushan Tribe is about to leave. We don’t care about those bugs of the Sanghuo Tribe.”
The moment Hu Wei said this, everyone present was stunned.
The little panda crawled out of Qi Bai’s arm, turned into a human form, and asked, “Where are you going?”
HU Wei raised an eyebrow and explained, “The messenger from Sunset City found us. The Xushan Tribe will soon be heading to Sunset City.”
Qi Bai was shocked. Even though the tribes on the Beastman Continent often had to face the dilemma of migration for various reasons, the beastmen didn’t have the same strong feelings for the land as the Chinese people.
However, even with the threat from the Sanghuo Tribe, the Xushan Tribe was still the largest tribe in the Northern Wilderness and the largest bond of the entire Northern Wilderness.
However, such a large tribe of theirs actually abandoned their territory so easily and headed for a completely unfamiliar city.
Xiong Nuan obviously had the same idea and said in disbelief, “You don’t want your own territory any longer?”
“What do you know?” Hu Wei said proudly. “That is a city. You might think that the current trading day is amazing, but in the city, every day is a trading day. Not to mention the beautiful houses and exquisite utensils of the city. The messenger from Sunset City brought us many things we have never seen before.”
Qi Bai asked, “You are telling us this now. Aren’t you afraid that it will disrupt your tribe’s plans?”
“In any case, we will set off after this trading day. You will know it sooner or later.” Hu Wei said with some pride. “I can also tell you that Sunset City is 30 days west of the Northern Wilderness. If you are capable, you can find it yourself.”
“But your weak tribes will never be chosen by Sunset City.”
Qi Bai could see that what Hu Wei said wasn’t entirely wrong. At least in the eyes of Lu Ming and Xiong Nuan, there was a yearning that couldn’t be concealed.
Perhaps under the legend of the City of the Beast God, every beastman was extremely fanatical about the city. Under such enthusiasm, the Xushan Tribe’s desperate gamble didn’t seem so abrupt.
Hu Wei showed off a lot. Even though he didn’t finally get the method of raising slaves from Qi Bai, he felt relieved when he saw the ‘jealous’ looks in the eyes of several people. He patted his butt and left with his two followers.
Lu Ming stood up suddenly. “No, I have to tell Yan the news right away.”
“I already know.”
A pleasant male voice came from behind them.
Lu Ming turned around and shouted excitedly, “Yan, you’re back.”
Lu Yan caught the person who ran toward him and said with a smile, “Yes, I’m back.”
Lu Ming asked, “How do you know about this?”
Lu Yan smoothed Lu Ming’s hair. “The Yungu Tribe also met the messenger of Sunset City, but they don’t want to leave their territory.”
The status of the Yungu Tribe was only second to the Xushan Tribe in the Northern Wilderness. It was for this reason that the trading day was built between Yungu and Xushan, close to Xushan.
However, the Yungu Tribe only stayed at the trading day for two days this year and left early before the Black Mountain Tribe arrived. Therefore, Qi Bai didn’t meet anyone from the Yungu Tribe.
It seemed that Lu Yan, the chief of the Giant Deer Tribe who hadn’t appeared in public, had previously gone to the Yungu Tribe.
Seeing that the two of them had something serious to discuss and there were members of the Giant Deer Tribe here, Qi Bai didn’t have to worry about Lu Ming’s safety. He stood up and said, “Then I’ll go back first. There are still many things to do in the tribe.”
Xiong Nuan also got up. “Let’s go together.”

Thanks for the chapter! Do those cities need labor force or something. Seems fishy otherwise. In any case, the big tribe will go from head honcho of their region to low level newcomers in the city. They’ll also completely loose their independence. Is it worth it?
Thanks for the chapter!
