In the bamboo forest, a tall, round-faced boy shouted loudly at Hua Fei, who was drooling in his dream.
Hua Fei, the chubby bear, was startled, and the large bamboo shoot in his hand rolled into the pile of bamboo shoots at his feet.
"Which bastard scared me? Where's my fat bamboo shoot?"
His silly appearance makes you want to laugh out loud.
Hua Fei bent down with her plump body, picked out the largest bamboo shoot from a pile of bamboo shoots, looked up, and said casually:
"Oh, it's Brother Hua Bei! What's up?"
"Hua Fei, your clan chief wants to see you!"
"Get it!"
Hua Fei lazily responded, quickly picked up the large bamboo shoot in her hand, peeled it open in two quick movements, and bit off the tender bud at the top.
With that gluttonous look, she's definitely a foodie.
"Hua Fei, stop eating! Grandpa Chief is still waiting for you!"
"Right away, right away."
Hua Fei agreed while taking another bite of the delicious bamboo shoot.
He dropped the bamboo shoots, stood up, and his originally round body quickly elongated, transforming into a slender neck and a strong, double-pectoral pectoral muscle.
The soft fur faded, transforming into smooth, delicate skin, while the accompanying body hair transformed into a black and white animal skin skirt.
His dark eyes were deep and captivating, his nose was high and straight, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he had a perfectly strong jawline.
This was no longer the憨厚可爱 (simple and cute) bamboo bear it had been; it had undergone a complete transformation, becoming a handsome, dashing, and imposing male beastman.
Hua Fei, 25 years old, is the only fourth-tier purple advanced talent among the younger generation of Bamboo Bear Paradise. He has awakened earth-type superpowers.
Grandpa Hua An, the clan chief, had already decided that he was the only candidate to become the next clan chief.
However, Hua Fei has a carefree personality and likes an unrestrained life. He only wants to become a bamboo bear, sleeping and eating all day long, and be a carefree big bamboo bear.
Seven years have passed since the mating season began, and all the females in the tribe have already formed pairs.
Bamboo bears typically live to be around 350 years old, but in the current bamboo bear tribe, no female has conceived a cub in 20 years.
Female bamboo bears have difficulty conceiving, and it is even more difficult if the mate is a high-ranking male.
For a time, no female tribeswoman took the initiative to mate with Hua Fei, and he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Most bamboo bear beastmen are naturally carefree, and most of them are not too worried about not being able to conceive, because they have a long lifespan to spare.
Hua Fei walked in front, with Hua Bei following behind, humming a little tune and polishing a small piece of spotted bamboo in her hand.
Hua Bei is almost 30 years old, has just reached the fourth-tier purple beginner level talent, and has not yet formed a mate. She usually likes to roll around in the grass with Hua Fei and chase wild beasts.
The two walked through a dense bamboo forest and came to a one-story house built of bamboo.
The house was large, but rather rough; it was the residence of the clan chief, Hua An.
The bamboo bear beastmen, having lived in the bamboo forest for generations, have mastered the ability to cut bamboo and build houses.
Hua Fei stepped onto the bamboo house, his large size causing the bamboo strips to creak.
Inside the house, a kind-faced, elderly male orc sat on a bamboo stool and gently opened his cloudy eyes.
This is Grandpa Hua An, the clan chief, who is now 240 years old.
Beside Grandpa Hua An stood six middle-aged male beastmen in their fifties or sixties, who were Hua Fei's uncles.
The orcs' talent levels weren't very high; the highest was only a fourth-tier purple mid-level talent.
"Hua Fei, you're here?"
"Grandpa An, it's me, it's me."
Upon hearing the clan chief's voice, Hua Fei quickly stepped into the bamboo house.
"Greetings, Grandpa Clan Chief, and greetings, fellow uncles and elders."
Hua Fei politely greeted all the elders, and Hua Bei behind her also bowed, put her palms together, and obediently lowered her head to greet them.
The uncles and elders opposite did not speak, but nodded silently.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense and serious.
"Hua Fei, you're 25 years old this year, right? When are you going to get married?"
"Grandpa An, why are you rushing me again? Didn't I already say that if no female takes a liking to me, I'll remain a bachelor forever?"
Hua Fei has been pressured too many times and has clearly given up.
“Hua Fei, how can you speak to the clan chief like that? The clan chief is only thinking about your future.”
"You are the future clan leader!"
An uncle to the left of the clan chief spoke with a helpless expression.
Hua Fei was speechless for a moment. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be in vain. He had no parents and was found by his clan chief in the bamboo forest.
To outsiders, he was the clan chief's grandson.
Some say he was abandoned, while others say his parents were eaten by wild animals in the forest.
Seeing that he was so small, not even enough to fill my teeth, I didn't take a bite.
The truth remains unknown after all these years.
Fortunately, the beastmen in the Bamboo Bear tribe were very kind and took great care of him.
Everyone thought highly of him and wanted him to be the future clan leader. He objected several times, but to no avail, and gradually he stopped talking about it.
Hua An knew that he loved freedom by nature, but his strength and character were the best, making him the only choice for clan leader.
Hua An sighed heavily, her eyes filled with sorrow, and said:
"Xiao Fei, the bamboo forest to the east is about to bloom."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. The middle-aged male beastmen standing on both sides blushed and paled in turns.
"What? The bamboo forest is about to bloom!"
"Chieftain, you're not joking, are you!"
"Yes, what will we do once the bamboo forest blooms?"
The 240-year-old clan chief has lived his entire life in the Bamboo Bear Paradise and has a natural affinity for the bamboo forest.
His prediction was undoubtedly correct.
Hua Fei and Hua Bei looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.
According to the bamboo bear's inherited memories, every beastman knows that when bamboo flowers, it means that a large area of the bamboo forest will soon wither and die.
Bamboo flowering is highly contagious; once one bamboo grove flowers, the surrounding bamboo groves will flower in succession over the next few years.
At that time, they will all be without delicious bamboo and bamboo shoots to eat.
Although they are all orcs and can eat meat and fruit, bamboo bears do not eat bamboo, and few orcs can endure the unpleasant taste.
However, if the seeds left after flowering are planted again, it will take ten years for them to grow into a large bamboo forest.
The Bamboo Bear Tribe, with over a hundred Bamboo Bear Beastmen, cannot wait ten years before eating bamboo again.
At that moment, everyone present panicked.
"What should we do then? Grandpa An, is there any hope for the bamboo forest?"
Hua Fei looked anxious. At that moment, he suddenly realized the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Yes, go to the northern continent of the Beast World. In a large canyon in the Dark Forest, there is a bamboo forest with a sacred bamboo tree growing there. The sap from its roots can bring the bamboo forest back to life."
"The Bamboo Sacred Tree?"
