Chapter 367 Bumpkin

Gravel, the leader of the Mad Lion tribe, quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He was a burly middle-aged man with striking short blond hair.

He looked at Su Lie and chuckled twice: "Chief Su, thanks to your tribe's medicine and holy water, our Mad Lion Tribe was able to overcome this crisis. These animal hides and ivory are a small token of our appreciation."

As he spoke, he turned and gestured to the orcs behind him, ordering them to bring over several large bundles of fine animal hides and a pair of complete ivory tusks.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken to receive so many gifts.

Especially with winter approaching, animal hides, which can keep you warm, are even more scarce and precious.

The Wolf Tribe developed a cure for the plague and even gave them a jar of precious medicinal ingredients, which saved the Lion Clan.

At times like these, they certainly can't be stingy.

Feng Li, the leader of the Eagle Tribe, was tall and thin with a classic hooked nose and sharp eyes; he looked like someone not to be trifled with.

However, he smiled warmly and said, "Hehe, our Eagle Tribe has brought snow lotus and lingzhi mushrooms, which are unique to the high mountains, in order to express our gratitude. It's just a small token of our appreciation, and we hope Chief Su won't find it offensive."

As he spoke, he gestured to the orcs behind him to present the gifts they had brought.

The other tribal leaders looked at each other, and then presented their own gifts, creating a lively and festive scene.

Su Lie grinned from ear to ear and warmly greeted everyone: "You've all come from afar, please come in and have a seat in the tribe."

He turned and winked at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling immediately understood, turned around and called over several orcs, ordering them to count and store the gifts brought by the various tribes.

Several orcs quickly got to work, sorting and storing the items in the tribe's storeroom.

The specific items sent by each tribe were all recorded in charcoal pencil and then handed over to Ye Ling for review.

Ye Ling glanced at the account sheet that these people had brought over; it was actually just a piece of animal skin.

They discovered that almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, even those from the distant cattle and deer tribes who came in person.

The Winged Tiger Tribe and the Pig Dog Tribe are the only ones missing.

The Pig Dog Tribe has a terrible reputation in the Beast World. They are fierce and greedy, and they like to rob and steal other people's property. They are notorious.

It's not surprising that they didn't come.

The absence of the Winged Tiger Tribe caused Ye Ling's silver eyes to flicker slightly.

I heard that the new leader of the Winged Tiger tribe is a guy named Wuli, who is also the son of the old leader who died.

I don't know why they didn't come.

As for Mu Han, he had long since left the Winged Tiger Tribe, and no one knew where he went.

The affairs of the Winged Tiger tribe were naturally none of his business.

Here.

Su Lie warmly invited the tribal leaders to walk towards their tribes, saying as they went, "Since you have come from afar, please come to the council hall to have some tea and rest."

When the house was built, a reception hall was specially built so that there would be a convenient place to entertain other tribes when they came to visit.

No one lives there normally, but orcs come to clean it regularly, and it has all the necessary items.

"Tea?"

The leopard tribe chief, Tu Ci, scratched his head and looked at Su Lie in confusion: "What is that?"

Bai Qi walked beside him, a warm smile on his face. He didn't answer Tu Ci's question directly, but instead looked at Su Lie.

Su Lie laughed and explained, "Tea is a specialty of our Wolf Tribe. Try it later, I guarantee you'll want more."

Actually, he doesn't like drinking tea at all; it tastes bitter and astringent, and isn't even as good as water.

If Yue'er hadn't said that serving tea to guests would make it seem more classy, ​​he wouldn't have bothered with these things.

Tu Ci and the other tribal leaders present still didn't understand what tea was, but judging from Su Lie's expression, they could tell it was a good thing.

Without asking any further questions, he simply looked around and found everything he saw to be very novel.

Whether it's the exquisitely crafted blue-green houses, the perfectly smooth road, or the huge, round building in the distance with a large chimney on top, from which smoke is billowing out.

The buildings in the eastern area were also strange, with towering walls covered with thorny brambles and broken ceramic shards.

Thick smoke billowed inside, and faint clanging sounds could be heard.

I don't know what it's for, it just seems weird.

The wolf tribe has changed so much that there are many items they have never seen before, can't name, and don't know their uses.

It felt like stepping into another world.

The leaders, elders, and orcs from all the tribes who came were so shocked that they were speechless.

Feng Li, the leader of the Eagle Tribe, was so busy looking around that he almost tripped over his own foot. Luckily, he managed to regain his balance in time, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face as he stared down at the hard bluestone pavement beneath his feet. "How... how can the ground be so smooth?"

"This is called a stone-paved road."

Su Lie stroked his beard proudly, "It was my daughter's idea. She said that this way it's smooth to walk on, helps with drainage in rainy weather, and saves us from getting muddy feet."

Upon hearing this, the leaders suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Su Lie with envy.

"Hehe, Chief Su is truly blessed to have such a precious daughter who has received guidance from the Beast God."

"Mo Lin and Beast King, you are also blessed to have married such good partners."

Flattery and compliments were constantly heard.

Hearing this, Su Lie's old face beamed with joy, and he felt that the weather was exceptionally sunny today, and everything looked pleasing to the eye.

Even Gravel, the leader of the Mad Lion Tribe whom he didn't usually like, looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye now.

Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, Xuan Yuanming, and others followed behind, all with smiles on their faces. Yue'er was a precious treasure, and what these people said was simply the truth.

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Lie smiled broadly, his beard bristling, and led the group of country bumpkin leaders inside.

"These are the houses where our people live. They are made of blue bricks and are warm in winter and cool in summer!"

He pointed to the neat rows of blue brick and tile houses on both sides of the road, his tone full of pride.

"Blue bricks?"

The Leopard Tribe chief, Tu Ci, walked to the nearest house, his rough hands touching the cold wall. He then tapped the wall twice with his knuckles, his eyes wide with shock: "The material looks exactly like that city wall, like stone but not quite, and it's square and angular. How... how was this made?"

He stared at the blue bricks and tiles in front of him, looking at them with the expression of a curious child.

He glanced outside and saw that the gate was open, so he ran inside to look around.

Noticing the hoe and shovel lying in the corner, I walked over and picked them up to play with them.

He could tell it was a tool, but he didn't know what it was for; he only noticed that the bottom was very sharp.

It is much sharper than a bone knife.

The leaders of other tribes also entered the courtyard for a visit, and all of them were filled with amazement.

"My God, is this really a house? It looks even more exquisite than the palace in Beast King City!"

"These tools are so peculiar; they're not made of stone or bone."

"This wolf tribe is truly remarkable; they know so much."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and voices of praise and amazement filled the air.

Su Lie and the others followed them in, their smiles beaming, never fading.

This happens to be Langya and Miyao's home.

Mi Yao was initially unhappy to see Tu Ci rush into her own yard, even grabbing her own hoe.

But seeing that the leader and his group had also come in, they didn't know what to say.

Instead, she stepped forward and introduced with a smile, "These are the hoes we usually use for tilling the land, they're very convenient."

As she spoke, she demonstrated how to use it to everyone, showing them how to dig and shovel soil.

Tu Ci and the others stared at it intently, finding the tool simply amazing.

They were able to dig through the soil so easily; it was far more useful than the stone shovels and bone knives they usually used.

Su Lie stepped forward with a smile, "This was also invented by Yue'er."

Instantly, he received another wave of envy and compliments.

He then led the group on a further tour.

Every time we passed a novel building or tool, it would elicit a gasp of amazement.

What's that big, smoking cylinder over there for?

Feng Li, the leader of the Eagle Tribe, pointed to the kiln in the distance and couldn't help but ask.

"That's where bricks and pottery are made."

Su Lie stroked his beard proudly, "The bricks, tiles, and pottery of our Wolf Tribe are all fired from there."

What's over there?

Tu Ci pointed to the smelting area enclosed by a wall, where the faint sounds of hammering and billowing smoke could be heard.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud clang suddenly rang out from the smelting area.

The tribal leaders were so frightened that they all took two steps back.

Su Lie laughed heartily: "Don't be afraid, that's the sound of blacksmithing."

"Blacksmithing?"

Feng Li keenly caught the new word, his sharp eagle eyes narrowing slightly.

Su Xiyue smiled and stepped forward to explain, "It's the place where ore is smelted into ironware. The hoes and kitchen knives you see are all made here."

He then gestured for his clansmen to bring over a few finished products.

When the gleaming iron dagger was passed to Li Yan, the leader of the Mad Lion tribe nearly cut his own finger.

"This...this is much sharper than a bone knife."

Conglomerate stared wide-eyed, its rough fingers carefully tracing the blade.

The other leaders immediately crowded around, vying to see it.

An elder from a deer tribe exclaimed excitedly, his beard trembling, "What if we used this for hunting?"

Fortunately, the wolf tribe had no ambitions and had been living in seclusion in the Sky Mist Canyon.

Otherwise, with such sharp weapons, none of the major tribes would be a match for them.

Several tribal leaders thought this to themselves, secretly rejoicing.

Su Lie didn't care what they were thinking. Seeing everyone scrambling for the daggers, he quickly came out with a smile to stop them: "Don't be in such a hurry, everyone. We'll give each of you one at the banquet later, as a gift from the Wolf Tribe."

This remark elicited a burst of excited cheers.

Then inevitably comes another round of flattery, saying whatever sounds nice.

After a round of flattery...

Su Lie felt that it was about time, so he didn't continue the tour with everyone and went to the reception hall for tea instead.
