Chapter 705 - 704, Decision_1
Xiong Da shook his head, his gaze distinctly peculiar, "It’s his other cub, the one sired with some other female beast."
Holy cow!!!
Shi Jie was taken aback and almost jumped up from the beast skin mat, "Is your uncle out of his mind? He dared to betray his mate? He even had cubs with other females...and now he dares to bring them back to the tribe and let all of you know?"
Xiong Da shook his head, "That’s not it. The cub was conceived before my Uncle became mates with Xiong Dan’s mother. He originally planned to pair off with the female, but she died during a beast rampage. Thus, only this cub was left. So, he never betrayed Xiong Dan’s mother. But it’s true that he loves this cub more than Xiong Dan."
Given what a simpleton Xiong Dan was, Shi Jie shook his head in pity for the cub. In the world of the beast-men, fathers were generally more nurturing towards their cubs than the frequently promiscuous females were. But when comparisons were drawn, things could turn ugly.
"So, what are you going to do about this?" Shi Jie asked Xiong Da.
Xiong Da’s eyes wavered, but soon became resolute: "When we return, I will discuss this with our tribe. In the end, it will come down to his decision. However, considering Shaman Ji Nuan’s character, I doubt she would approve. We know she has high expectations of her tribesmen, particularly regarding their loyalty and allegiance to the tribe."
"Should my uncle act in such a manner after joining the Watson Tribe, I can hardly imagine what might become of him. Hence, I feel it’s best we leave him out to begin with."
Shi Jie thought about Ji Nuan’s character. Who could have guessed that the shaman who usually managed to charm every beast had such a domineering side?
He nodded in agreement, "Sounds like a plan. If your uncle refuses to comply, bring all those willing to join you and come to us. We will go to the Watson Tribe together."
Xiong Da nodded firmly.
...
"As you’re all aware, the situation in the Beast World Continent has become dire. Survival poses a great challenge for our smaller tribes. Unforeseen conflicts amidst these major tribes could erupt any moment, and we smaller tribes..."
The one speaking was the clan leader of a small tribe in the Eneru Forest. In the crude cave, there were surprisingly 16 other beast-men, clan leaders from various small and middle-ranked tribes in the Eneru Forest.
"Just a while ago, the Nia Tribe attacked us, and we lost half of our tribesmen. They were too powerful. We had no capacity to resist them at all."
"We’re in the same boat. There are now only 32 males and females left in our tribe."
"Same for us..."
"I don’t know if we’ll endure such a horrific disaster again. We don’t have a Shaman in our tribe to commune with Lord Beast God and receive His revelations. What are we to do?"
The first beast-man who spoke said, "I’ve gathered you all here today because us three middle-ranked tribes have made a decision. This decision could change our current predicament. Any of you clan leaders who wish to join us today, feel free to do so."
