The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 224 Mirage City Explodes
“We have about seventy golden tuna. These things were never seen in the extreme BH market before, so our clan leader has requirements on the types of goods traded for golden tuna.”

"The first category is medicinal materials, mainly hemostatic and analgesic, while the demand for detoxifying materials is relatively small."

"The choice of medicinal herbs for other ailments depends on the specific circumstances."

"The second type is land animal jerky. It doesn't use fresh meat, only jerky, and there are certain requirements for the quality of the jerky. It must be able to be stored for at least three months."

"The third category is baba fruit, or other sweet fruits and dried fruits, but they must be varieties that can be stored for more than two or three months... The specific exchange rate will be determined based on the quality of the goods."

Su Weihua and Ling Chengen exchanged a glance, not expecting that they happened to have the same kind of goods that the other party wanted to trade.

The Shilin tribe is located in the central part of the northern wilderness. Although it is not as humid and rainy as the south, with abundant vegetation, it is rich in medicinal resources. The nearby mountains and forests are full of medicinal materials for detoxification, hemostasis, pain relief, treatment of typhoid fever, and mental relaxation.

Yuheng had prepared a lot of hemostatic and analgesic drugs for them before this trip. Because they were quite careful along the way, the consumption of these drugs was not large, and at least two-thirds of them were still unused.

Along the way, they haven't only gone out and never come in.

Because hemostatic and analgesic herbs are extremely common, many seven- or eight-year-old children in the Shilin tribe can recognize several kinds, let alone those in their teens and twenties.

As long as there was enough time and no danger, the soldiers would pick any familiar medicinal herbs they encountered on the road and hand them over to the team doctor for processing. After the herbs were processed, they would all be sent to Ling Chengen for storage.

Ling Chengen and Su Weihua turned and discussed for a few words. Finally, they decided to let the people of the Boman tribe follow them to the stone forest's stall and choose the goods they wanted to exchange. They would then negotiate the exchange ratio after the other party decided what goods to exchange for. This way, they could keep some of the initiative in the transaction.

After listening to Su Weihua's words, Harman thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll talk to the clan leader about this. We'll have to wait for him to make a decision."

After saying that, he went into the small tent at the back. Soon, a man wearing an eye patch came out of the tent by bending over and looking down.

His hair was a bit long and looked rather messy and unkempt. There were many small braids made of rope in his dark gray hair. He wore a bicorn hat on his head, made of dark brown leather, with several dazzling yellow gemstones fixed on the hat.

He also wore a pair of leather boots, and three belts of different widths around his waist: two leather belts, one leather-woven rope belt with two short knives and a dagger hanging from it, and the rest were all jingling metal pieces.

As he walked to the fish stall, Ling Chengen quickly looked him over. His gaze was first drawn to the pendant around his neck that looked like an animal tooth. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the jade-white pendant, which was only the size of a finger bone, was actually a small and sharp bone blade.

At first glance, this person actually has a Viking style and looks like a Viking.

He was probably a little older than Ling Xiao, and he had a very strong and predatory aura.

“I am Taf, the chieftain of the Boman tribe.”

Taf, a man with a long beard, was nearly two meters tall. He had several scars on his face, was blind in his left eye, and had a few specks of moisture clinging to his beard. He glanced at the two men, frowned slightly, and said, "You two are not yet adults, are you? Can you decide on this deal?"

"Sure, this time we're leading our own team, and the trade will use the resources we've collected ourselves, so we can make all the decisions ourselves."

Taf scrutinized the two men for a moment, then turned and beckoned to Haman: "Come with me and take a look."

Although Taff looked down on the two children, the market had just opened today, and this was their first business deal, so he decided to take his men and make the trip himself.

Even if these children don't collect many items, as long as the quality is good, it's fine to trade some.

The group quickly traversed most of the trading area of ​​the city and arrived at Shi Lin's stall.

Actually, from a distance, Ling Chengen and Su Weihua could see their stall, which was crowded with people, looking like sardines being squeezed into a jar. The large number of people made the other stalls look pitiful.

Taf was also curious about why so many people were gathered there, and wondered what it was all for.

He gave Hamman a wink, and Hamman readily stepped forward, smiling as he chatted with Su Weihua, who was leading the way. He inquired about which tribe's stall was over there, what good things they were trading that had attracted so many people...

Su Weihua is a man of few words, but he is not stupid.

As soon as Harman opened his mouth, he guessed the other party's purpose.

but……

"We've arrived. That's our tribe's stall."

Su Weihua pointed to the area where the crowd was gathered: "That's the stall of our tribe that you asked about."

"What supplies have you prepared that have attracted so much interest?" Harman was genuinely curious.

After the market opened today, he stayed at his stall for about an hour. During that time, only five people stopped in front of their Boman tribe's stall. Most of them just looked around casually, asked about how to trade, and then nothing more.

He comes to the market with the clan chief every year, so he is quite experienced. When those people stopped in front of the stall, he could tell at a glance that they were not interested in their fish stall at all, but just wanted to find out the market price so that they could price the goods they had prepared.

When Ling Chengen and Su Weihua first arrived at their stall, he could tell that the two of them didn't really have any intention of making a deal. But after seeing the golden bonito, they suddenly became interested, so he seized the opportunity to talk to them for a while... He never expected that these two underage kids would actually want to make a deal.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

"It should be braised food," Su Weihua said, her tone uncertain.

When they left, the pot containing the braised lotus root and meat was still cold. Although it still smelled good, it was clearly not as fragrant and intense as when the pot was hot and the soup was hot.

Su Weihua tried to push through the crowd with Harman and Taf, but...

Before he could even ask the people in front of him to move aside, the orcs blocking his way turned around, glared angrily, and said fiercely, "Hey brat, what are you pushing for? Get in line at the back!"

Su Weihua's face was then squeezed out: "..."

Ling Chengen rarely saw him looking so embarrassed, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "It's probably too crowded to squeeze in from here, let's go around from the back."

However, there are still not enough people. The lines need to be set up properly, otherwise people will start fighting over cutting in line.

It's not a big deal if they fight, but it's not good if it affects their stalls, especially those hot stoves and pots.

Taf tiptoed ahead to look, actually reluctant to go from the back. He preferred to squeeze through the crowd and experience firsthand what made the Stone Forest so popular.

But Harman looked up and whispered a few words in his ear. Taff suppressed his curiosity and excitement, turned around and followed Ling Chengen and the others to the back.

Behind the Shilin trading area, there were seven or eight soldiers stationed, and the rest were all from the neighboring Snake Mountain.

These people were bored, sitting or standing in the open space, too lazy to even set up a tent. They were watching the crowd pushing and shoving in front of them as if they were watching a spectacle, and they also stopped the orcs who wanted to find a way to enter the Stone Forest stall from the back.

Su Weihua parted the orcs who were running into obstacles, raised the rope tied to the pole with her left hand, crawled under the rope, and nodded to Lin Ying who was guarding the side.

Using her towering figure, Lin Ying glanced behind him and saw Ling Chengen preparing to jump over the rope. She quickly lifted the rope and gestured for Ling to walk over.

Ling Chengen looked at the rope that was higher than his head, paused for two seconds, lowered his legs, and walked obediently under the rope.

"Let the two in the back in," she said to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying glanced at the one-eyed Taf, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and gestured politely to invite the two inside. When the others tried to slip in unnoticed, he spun around, blocking their path and shoving them back with his solid body. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked down at them condescendingly, saying, "Do you think I'm blind? Are you guests of my young clan leader, trying to squeeze in like this?"

The orc, forced back by Lin Ying's large physique, looked embarrassed, but quickly dusted himself off, got up from the ground, and took out a blue crystal shell from his pocket and handed it to him: "Brother, I'm really craving the food you guys sell up ahead. I'm not going in, I'll just wait here. Can you buy me some?"

Lin Ying reacted quickly, grabbing his withdrawn hand and stuffing the blue crystal shell back into his palm.

"No, no, go and line up at the front yourself."

"If I give you this back door, it will never end."

"There will only be one outcome: our young clan leader will impale me and hang me from a tree!"

"Don't get me into trouble. Hurry up and get in line. If you're late, you won't even get a chicken feather."

Lin Ying straightened the rope blocking the way, turned around and kicked Flo in the butt.

He looked at the young man who slowly raised his head, still nestled on the sacks of dried medicinal herbs, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm busy here without a moment's rest, and you're just lying on the pile of supplies, fast asleep... Get up and get to work!"

"Keep an eye on this line behind the trading area. Don't let anyone sneak in while things are in disarray. What if the supplies get stolen..."

"Hum-"

Lin Ying smirked, a wicked look on her face, and said, "Guess if you'll even get any food for the next few days?"

Upon hearing this, Flo immediately became wide awake.

He jumped off the sack and immediately transformed into a beast.

A centipede nearly five meters long lay across the boundary of the trading area. Its two long antennae stood upright like antennas, and its body was covered with segments of black exoskeleton. At its tail was a uniquely shaped stinger containing a deadly venom, which stood high in a state of high alert.

After the centipede appeared, the orcs who were originally crowding outside the pulled-up rope immediately retreated in a rush, their faces showing fear.

Giant insect orcs, or even giant insects with potent venom...

This is quite rare in the Northern Wilderness.

Flo raised his head high, tilted his head to look at the panicked orcs, and calmly said, "The back door is only for our own tribe. If you want to trade supplies, go to the front and squeeze in."

"If you want to stay here, that's fine, as long as you don't cross this rope, you can do whatever you want with me."

"Once we cross that line, I can't say for sure what strange things might happen next."

After warning the orcs who were reluctant to leave and were determined to use the back door, Flo climbed back onto the ground, but the tentacles on his head never came down.

Harman had already entered the trading area of ​​the Stone Forest. He turned back to look at the beastman, a centipede-like creature nearly two meters tall, and after a long while, he finally suppressed his surprise: "Does your tribe still accept such dangerous beastmen?"

Ling Chengen asked doubtfully, "What danger could giant insect-like beastmen pose?"

They're tough and can fight, obedient and easy to manage.

He's practically the subordinate she'd always dreamed of, isn't he?

Harman looked at Ling Chengen's puzzled expression and hesitated to speak.

Finally, it was Taff who spoke up, diverting Ling Chengen's attention.

"May I see what it was that attracted those people just now?"

Ling Chengen snapped out of his daze, nodded to Taf, and walked straight ahead.

She walked straight to the back of the stall, glanced at the nearly empty pot of braised food, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's selling out so fast?"

Zhilu was the one tending the stove and selling braised food. In just one hour, she was so busy that she wished she had eight more hands.

Because there were so many people in front of the stall, some of them were so daring that they even reached their hands into the pot... Finally, Zhilu hit the person hiding behind the crowd hard with a bamboo tong, and the person quickly pulled their hand back.

She not only had to pack the braised dishes, but also keep an eye on people with dirty hands... In the end, she had to call two people from the back to help her.

When Zhilu saw Ling Chengen, her eyes lit up immediately.

Ignoring the people waiting ahead, he clung to her arm with a mournful face, saying, "Young Clan Leader, you're finally back! Please help me think of a solution, these people outside are really..."

It's hard to say.

Ling Chengen looked at the crowd in front of the stall, thought for a few seconds, and then asked Zhilu to pick up a small bowl of braised pork and send it to Tafu in the back to try.

She then had one of the metal-element warriors beside her make a gong out of metal ore and hang it on the shelf next to her. With her right hand, she took out a wooden stick from under the table, wrapped a rag around one end of the stick, tied it tightly with hemp rope, and suddenly raised her hand and struck the gong.

That sound instantly drowned out all the other sounds in front of the stall.

Ling Chengen looked at the first few orcs, who were so shocked they covered their ears and their eyes were wide open like copper bells, and broke the sudden silence with a smile.

"Please be quiet, everyone. I am the young clan leader of Shilin."

"First of all, thank you all for coming today. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about the braised dishes at our stall."

"Because we didn't expect the braised dishes to be so popular, we didn't prepare much."

"There aren't many left now."

"But don't worry, everyone. We're not just setting up this stall for one day."

"There will be events every day from now on, and we will adhere to the rule of first come, first served."

"However, to avoid disputes that could disrupt normal transactions at the surrounding stalls, please line up in an orderly fashion. Do not push or fight. This will allow us to serve the food more quickly and reduce the chance of making mistakes."

"Thank you all for your cooperation in advance..."

Ling Chengen put away the gong hammer, casually shoved it under the table, and turned to gesture to Lin Ying beside him.

Lin Ying immediately led several tall and imposing warriors out of the stall to maintain order and make the people in front of the stall line up obediently.

As for the troublemakers who refuse to cooperate...

Ling Chengen wasn't worried at all.

Since reasoning with them wouldn't work, the warriors of Shilin also knew a little about martial arts.
