Ning Ze joined the Warfire Squad as it confronted the Blood Eagle Squad over a herd of Black Tide Savage Bulls, and the two teams agreed to divide the valuable prey. Afterward, Fei Ying recognized Ning Ze as the Golden Fire Bear’s son and plotted to spread the news so another group would attack them.
