Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 491 The Trade Fair
The pure-blooded male led the Dongsang tribe to the cave where several orc masters lived.

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang were talking inside the cave. When they saw them come in, they simply smiled and nodded, "Come in."

The orc warrior from the Dongsang tribe who had visited before entered with an orc warrior, and they entered with great respect.

Yuan Lang looked up at the slightly reserved orc warrior. The scent on this person was very similar to that of Ying Yan, so he should be an orc from the Eagle Clan.

"Honorable shaman, orc warrior, this is our tribe's only flying orc, Eaglefly."

Eagle Fly holds a very special position in the tribe, and because he did something great for the tribe during the winter, the chieftain now values ​​him highly.

Sending the eagle over this time was also to show the importance that the Dongsang tribe attaches to this.

Wu Yue could naturally guess what the Dong Sang chief meant, and felt a bit more favorably toward the chief, whom she had never met before, and even toward the Dong Sang tribe.

"It seems your tribe is quite powerful, having two orc warriors."

As she spoke, she pointed to a straw mat on the other side of the fire: "Sit down and talk."

The orc warrior chuckled, raising his chin with a hint of pride: "That's right, our Dongsang tribe has the most orcs in this forest."

After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he frowned with some disgust: "Of course, this does not include the Uk tribe, but the orc warriors of the Uk tribe are all controlled by poison, and their strength has been greatly reduced. We half-orc warriors can fight them and even defeat them."

When the poison was mentioned, Wu Yue's expression darkened: "Yes, that poison was indeed very potent. It took us a long time to make the antidote, and the recovery process took even longer."

Yuan Lang handed her the steaming bamboo tube: "When you have time, you should wipe out that Uk tribe."

He said it so casually, as if it were just a matter of saying that a wild pheasant had come to the tribe and he would go out and kill it.

Their words shocked the orc warrior and Eaglefly.

"Witch, were you and several orc warriors also poisoned?"

The orc warrior felt his heart pounding, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at the noble shaman sitting there with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Wu Yue knew that now was not the time to cause trouble for the Uk tribe. She let out a heavy sigh and secretly resolved that one day she would make the Uk tribe chief taste the poison.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the orc and Yingfei, he had some guesses in his mind, and said without changing his expression: "Yes, after we got ashore from the river, we were knocked unconscious for a while because of the impact of the flood. When we woke up, we found that we had poison in our bodies and could not use witch power or beast god power."

Later, she was rescued by members of the Laso tribe, only to learn that she had been poisoned by the leader of a hunting party from the Uk tribe.

The orc warrior nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the consequence of being poisoned is that you can't use your abilities, and the toxin will continue to damage your body, shortening your lifespan."

His eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation. He even momentarily forgot why his clan leader had summoned him, and asked somewhat nervously, "Respected shaman, has the poison in your body and those of the orc warriors been cured?"

Wu Yue nodded: "It's been cured a long time ago, and I've almost fully recovered now."

As she spoke, she lightly lifted her fair fingers, and a magical power, like a small snake, coiled around her fingertips, which was quite magical.

Eagle Fly exclaimed in shock: "Witchcraft!"

The orc warriors who had never seen a shaman were equally shocked, but upon hearing the voices of their own orc warriors beside them, they couldn't help but cast a look of reverence upon them.

"Chief Wu said there is no antidote for this poison, but you have concocted one. Is this the magic of witchcraft?"

Wu Yue's lips twitched. What the heck?
magic?

Can't this be cured as long as an antidote is found?

The orc warrior stood up from the hay mat and knelt down with a thud. The eagle beside him also knelt down immediately: "Respected shaman, please exchange a portion of the antidote with our Dongsang tribe."

Wu Yue was startled. Good heavens, he suddenly performed such a grand ceremony without warning! She had actually expected this! Oh ho ho ho!

But when he heard the request from the two members of the Dongsang tribe, he frowned and asked, "Is your chieftain poisoned?"

When Eagle Fly and the orc warrior saw the shaman's expression, their hearts sank. Could it be that the antidote was no longer available?

I felt a little anxious at that moment.

"It's not our chieftain, it's the chieftain's father, our old chieftain. The old chieftain is getting weaker and weaker because he was poisoned by that shameless Ukena."

Seeing the orc warrior's gritted teeth, Wu Yue silently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Was the word "shameless" already in use this early on?

She secretly exchanged a glance with Yuan Lang beside her. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Uk tribe is indeed shameless and has no bottom line in order to maintain its hegemonic status.

"You know that this poison is a poisonous herb, right?"

The orc nodded upon hearing this: "I know. When the old chieftain returned to the tribe, he said that he was poisoned because he ate the wild vegetable dumplings that the female Uk brought him."

"Since there are poisonous herbs, there must be antidotes. This is a rule set by the Beast God. So Chief Uk was lying to you when he said there were no antidotes. But the antidotes we found last time were limited, and it takes more than one antidote to completely remove the toxins from the body."

The orc panicked. Could it be that the shaman didn't have enough antidote herbs?

His slightly gaunt face showed a hint of dejection.

Seeing this, Wu Yue found it amusing and said, "I don't know the current state of the toxins in your patriarch's body. Giving too little won't cure the poison, and giving too much will..."

She reached her fair hand into the basket beside her, but actually took out an antidote herb from her system space: "This antidote herb is poisonous if eaten alone, and it will also cause poisoning if you eat too much of it."

The orc warrior and Eagle Fly's faces darkened. This meant that their clan leader was either poisoned or on his way to being poisoned!
As if they had thought of something, their eyes lit up instantly, and they were about to speak.

Wu Yue casually tossed the antidote into her basket: "I'm not going to your tribe."

Judging from your puppy-like eyes, I know what you're thinking.

Upon hearing this, their hopes were instantly shattered. However, considering the noble status of this person, they were well aware that even their own clan chief might not be able to provide treatment, let alone send this person to their own tribe.

They exchanged a glance, each wanting to see if the other's eyes had been struck by a stone.

"Alright, let's go back and ask your chief about the treatment. My people just reported that your tribe has extended an invitation. I wonder what kind of invitation it is?"

The orc warrior and Eagle stood up and sat down before saying, "The tribal gathering in this forest is about to begin. Since it is forbidden to attend the gathering in our forest without an invitation, the chieftain asked me to come and invite your tribe." He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "Because there is not much time left, my people and I may have to stay in your tribe for a while. When the time comes, we will take you directly to the gathering place. Please set aside a place for us to stay."

Wu Yue glanced amusedly at the somewhat embarrassed orc warrior and Ying Fei: "I wonder what this trade fair will be like?"

Speaking of the trade fair, the orc had more to say: "This trade fair is convened by the most powerful tribes in our forests. Invited tribes can exchange their best items for precious salt and herbs."

The salt was traded by flying orcs from several tribes after the river froze over in winter, and the herbs were prepared by the shaman on the other side of the river; they were very precious.

Wu Yue nodded and looked at the orc warrior with a smile: "In that case, I just need to prepare some herbs and go over there."

The orc paused for a moment, then, remembering the instructions his clan leader had given him before he left, he chuckled dryly: "Herbal medicines are very precious to some medium or weak tribes, but while stronger tribes may exchange some, they won't use very precious items to trade for them."

So if you have any valuable items, you can bring them over to exchange.

As the orc spoke, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Wu Yue nodded: "Oh? It seems I need to make some preparations. I wonder what good things your powerful tribes will have. I don't need salt and herbs."

The orc warrior chuckled, "The trading of goods is handled by designated members of the tribe, so I'm not entirely sure about it."

But her eyes kept darting away, she just couldn't bring herself to look at Wu Yue sitting opposite her.

"Teng Kun".

Wu Yue smiled at them, then turned to Teng Kun, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, and called out.

Upon hearing this, the orc stood up. His massive body resembled a small mountain, causing the orc warrior and Eagle Fly to gasp for breath, as if they were facing a powerful beast.

Looking at their own bodies, which were neither skinny nor muscular, the two felt a pang of envy. How could there be such a big difference between people?
I don't know what these Snow Moon tribe orc warriors ate to grow up like that, their physiques are terrifyingly strong.

"Weren't a few houses just built a few days ago? Go and arrange for the people of the Dongsang tribe to stay there first."

Teng Kun glanced at the orc and Ying Fei, nodded, and gestured for them to follow.

Once their figures disappeared from sight, Wu Yue turned to the orc warrior beside her who was tending the fire: "Yuan Lang, what do you think of this tribal gathering?"

The orc tossed aside the wooden stick in his hand, a smile playing on his lips: "Salt and herbs are precious, but aren't upgrades and totem poles even more precious?"

Instead of searching for valuable items in the forest on their own, why not hold a trade fair and let the tribes bring their precious items to exchange in person?

"This is also an opportunity for us."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, in a forest outside the Snow Moon Tribe's encampment, a group of thin and hunched males were moving through the forest, climbing up trees covered with sharp thorns and quickly picking the fruit from the trees.

"Chief, we have nowhere to put the fruit we've gathered!"

A male with arms full of fruit walked over, and fruit kept falling from his arms as he walked.

The gray-haired leader glanced at it, then carefully took out a large leaf from his pocket and handed it to him: "Luckily, I listened to Ayu and brought some large leaves. Pack them carefully and don't damage them."

The chieftain couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. There were several large-leaved trees in the forest next to their settlement. Although the leaves were dry, he had soaked the leaves that his people had collected in water the night before.

Leaves that have been soaked in water are less likely to spoil, so you can pack more fruit to take home.

"The fruit is falling! Everyone, hurry and pick it up!"

"With so many fruits, I wonder how much food we could exchange for them?"

"Ayu said that the Snow Moon tribe has lots and lots of delicious food."

"If only we could become members of the Snow Moon tribe."

As they quickly picked up the fruit, they looked on with envy at the lives of the tribespeople.

"What are you thinking? How could a tribe accept wanderers like us? It would be good enough if they could give us something to do."

The male speaker's face showed disappointment and resentment.

He felt lost because he was a homeless person, and he resented himself for being a homeless person.

The wanderers were people who had been expelled from their tribes. In order to survive, they banded together and formed settlements, which they dared not even call tribes.

Those who are expelled have made mistakes and harmed the tribe or its members, so once they are expelled, no tribe is willing to accept them again.

Their only way out is to join homeless communities and humbly seek that sliver of a chance to survive.

The somber topic dampened everyone's already low spirits, which were already anticipating the food.

Seeing this, the chief sighed: "Hurry up and collect them, fill up all the large leaves, and then we'll go back."

What's the point of thinking so much? It's better to just live well.

Upon hearing this, everyone pursed their lips and remained silent. The forest returned to silence once more, with only the occasional sounds of the tribespeople working in the settlement.

At this moment, in the cave where they gathered, before leaving, the males blocked the entrance with a heavy boulder, leaving only a few small ventilation holes.

Females, cubs, and the elderly sat among them.

"Mother, will the chieftain and father bring back lots and lots of fruit?"

The food that Little Ayu ate at the Snow Moon Tribe yesterday was gone after she squatted in the grass today. The little guy only got a tasteless wild vegetable dumpling from the grandma who distributed the food, but he was even hungrier after eating it.

The female stroked the heads of Ayu and her other cub in her arms: "Yes, the chief and father will definitely bring back a lot of fruit to exchange for delicious food in the Snow Moon Tribe."

The female's gentle voice was also full of hope; she couldn't forget the wonderful taste of the food from yesterday.

Update is here! It's eight minutes late!
