The people of the Beach Tribe lived next to a low cliff by the sea.

There were a lot of trees here, and they had built very simple, low houses out of wood and leaves. Others had directly dug out caves in the cliff to live in.

The environment here was very humid, but the people of the Beach Tribe didn’t mind that. This was very normal––their animal forms were all animals that either lived in or near the sea, and they very much liked this kind of environment.

Zhou Ji had just gone over when he saw a sea lion shifting its fat body across the ground in order to move forward and jump off the edge of the cliff to dive into the sea.

Another person came up to the edge of the cliff and also dove into the sea, turning into a dolphin halfway through the dive.

“You’re finally here! Why didn’t you come last year?” The chief of the Beach Tribe was an old man with a face full of wrinkles who didn’t look powerful at all… It was clear that the position of tribal chief wasn’t given to the most powerful person in this tribe.

That was also very normal. This tribe consisted of a group of fat seals, sea lions, dolphins, and walruses… They probably weren’t very good at fighting, right?

“Our tribe encountered trouble last year.” The people from the Green Hill Tribe summarized the matter of the Giant Tiger Tribe attacking them. They were a little downcast as they spoke.

“So that’s what happened.” The tribal chief of the Beach Tribe sighed rather emotionally and said a few words of comfort before coming over to speak to Xiong Ye.

Zhou Ji wasn’t involved in the conversation, but he had paid close attention to it the entire time. Only then did he learn that the people of the Beach Tribe didn’t follow the method of ‘animal form followed by a single word’ to name themselves. Instead, everyone used the word ‘Hai’ in as their surname.

For example, the chief of the Beach Tribe was called Hai Pang.

His human form appeared very thin, and it was unknown if his animal form was fat or not…maybe it was fat?

And the people of the Beach Tribe hadn’t lied when they said that they missed the people of the Green Hill Tribe.

However, it wasn’t so much that the people of the Beach Tribe missed the people of the Green Hill Tribe, but rather that they missed the things that the people of the Green Hill Tribe brought with them.

The Beach Tribe lived by the sea and usually ate fish. They didn’t lack food, but they were instead short on other things.

In the past, the Green Hill Tribe would come to trade for salt with them, exchanging dried vegetables, dinosaur leather, feathers, and other such things. Additionally, the Green Hill Tribe would bring flint with them every time they came to trade.

Regardless of whether it was the Big Bear Tribe or the Green Hill Tribe, they had both long ago started making use of fire. They would find ways to keep the fire alive, but it would still go out every now and then, and it wasn’t easy to bring fire with them when they travelled… so they would use flint to start fires.

The Green Hill Tribe hadn’t come last year, and the Beach Tribe was short on a lot of supplies!

This time, the Big Bear Tribe had brought a lot of things with them when they came to trade for salt. Other than the things that the Green Hill Tribe normally brought here in the past, they had also prepared pottery, barley, and other such items. At this time, Xiong Ye had people from the tribe set down the things that they had brought at the entrance to the Beach Tribe.
