Upon noticing it, Elvis put his guard up immediately.

On the contrary, Lea patted his shoulder lightly, implying that he need not worry.

Elvis had absolute trust in Lea and Lea also knew that Gu Mengmeng was in the cave so if there was danger, he definitely would not be so calm.

Thinking about this, Elvis slightly relaxed but still maintained a wary attitude as he followed Lea to the room closest to the entrance.

“The Birds tribe?” Elvis stared at the man outside the cave in doubt. An ill condition lay between his delicate and pretty brows and he appeared weak and sick, not having much energy left. However, his stance supporting himself against the snow and wind was calmer than normal people and his abilities did not look like they would make him collapse at first blow. Elvis noticed the two feathers in his hair from above his ears and they were the special characteristic of the Birds tribe, different from land beast tribes. But, the Birds tribe always boasted about being the owners of the skies and did not have much interaction with the land beast tribes so Nina was able to run wild in Saint Nazaire for so many years because of Quentin. Now, this person from the Birds tribe was sending himself to their doorstep?

Could it be...

Elvis threw a glance at Lea, asking him if he knew anything.

Lea sent an eye signal to Elvis to pacify him. The motive of the Birds tribe was different from the people in Sauder.

Elvis was then relieved and he took a step forward, standing at the boundaries of his cave while calling out, “I’m Elvis, the leader of Saint Nazaire. Why did you come over to my territory?”

That male sized Elvis up and after confirming Elvis’s identity, he then opened his mouth and said, “I’m Eagle-owl tribe’s leader, Ian. I heard... you all have enough storage food. If you’re willing to share some with me and my fellow tribesman to help last us through winter, we’ll join Saint Nazaire and become your tribesman, how about that?”

The addition of the Birds was an extremely big temptation to any tribe, especially ferocious Birds like the Eagle-owl tribe. If they could join them, that would be good news, just like giving wings to a tiger. If it was in the past, he would not hesitate even if he was to give all of his food to the Eagle-owl tribe, but now...

He indeed had storage food, but they were prepared for Xiao Meng. Sacrificing Xiao Meng’s food in exchange for the growth of his tribe... Elvis was not willing to.

“We’ve food but... how much do you need?” Lea was aware of Elvis’s worry but he also knew that this was a rare chance. If they missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to invite the Birds tribe to join them again.

“We don’t have many members in our Eagle-owl tribe. Including myself, we have a total of 32 males. As long as you all can provide us with ten prey, including the ones we still have... we should be able to last the entire winter.” The terms Ian suggested was actually a whopping price because in winter, let alone ten prey, half a prey was precious enough. Many males had decided to boil themselves up to fill the stomachs of their females, why would they have excess prey? And, now he was asking for ten prey!

Originally, Ian wanted Elvis to bargain the terms with him but he did not expect that Lea would agree to his terms without hesitation while smiling.

“We can give you ten prey and I can also provide a cave for you and your fellow tribesman to rest temporarily. All of you can choose another nest during the rainy season next year. But... how can I ensure that all of you won’t turn against us ruthlessly after lasting through winter? After all, if all of you flutter your wings and fly away, we would not be able to do anything too.”
