The Survival of the Wild Tribe

A tribe that can exchange such a large amount of stone and salt with the Tiger and Lion tribe naturally does not need to come to a place like a settlement. When Mao Zuo heard the news, he was worried that the stone salt would be exchanged by other tribes, and naturally did not have the time to elaborate. I asked, so I didn’t know much. After Maoyou had cleaned up all the animal skins, he hurried to the big tent belonging to the Tiger and Lion tribe in the center of the settlement, holding a large handful of animal skins.

Luo Zhen and Lu Zhan glanced at each other. Obviously, they didn't expect such an accident to happen. If they came here two days at night, wouldn't they even be able to see the shadow of Shiyan?

Although their final destination in this trip is the sea opposite the Black Forest, stone salt is also indispensable to their Sun Yao tribe.

At this moment, there is no way for them to inquire about the situation in the settlement first. They can only follow the two Serval brothers and walk to the center of the settlement together.

Even in a hurry, Maoyou did not forget the wooden bowl he had already received. Knowing that it was the first time for Luo Zhen and the two to come to the settlement, he gave them a lot of introductions along the way.

After all, as a big tribe on one side, the tents of the Tiger and Lion tribe are much larger than those of other tribes. There is a tall banyan tree next to the tent, with luxuriant branches. All the five large tents of the Tiger and Lion tribe are enclosed. Under the shadow, even if the sun is fierce, as long as you walk in, you will feel extremely cool.

Luo Zhen discovered that although the other tribes were all leaning on the tiger and lion tribes, they were all separated by a large distance, with a large open space exposed in the middle to show that the tiger and lion tribes were different from other tribes.

When the four came here, an orc warrior was squatting on the edge of the shadow of the banyan tree and looking around. He saw the cat coming to the left and then stood up to meet the front, but saw two strange faces following the cat’s left side. Surprised, he couldn't help but whispered in the left ear of the cat, "Didn't you let you come here by yourself?"

"Our animal skins can’t be exchanged much, and the tribe has not been able to prepare enough prey and animal skins in advance. They are the Riyao tribe across from Changfeng Mountain. They just want to exchange with Maoyou, so I will send them by the way. Called over." Mao Zuo saw that the warrior's face was a bit wrong, and he groaned in his heart, and asked tentatively: "What's the matter? Isn't the remaining stone salt enough for us to exchange?"

The orc warrior shook his head, probably because he was concerned about the presence of unfamiliar outsiders, and was unwilling to explain more. He pulled the cat's left arm and pushed him into the largest tent, "Go and exchange. After the stone salt has been exchanged, we will return to the tribe first. Our tribe will not provide you with stone salt for the remaining months."

When Mao Zuo and Mao You heard the soldier's words, their expressions were both not pretty. They immediately ignored Luo Zhen and followed the soldier into the tent. Fortunately, the soldier did not prevent Luo Zhen from following, allowing them to enter the largest tent with them.

It is said that it is a large tent, in fact, the area is not half the size of the mud brick house of their Riyao tribe, but in this part of the settlement, it is already considered to be a very conspicuous existence.

The tent is densely packed with things, including animal skins, roasted animal meat, and some wild fruits that have been picked for a long time, and so on. Only the middle part was deliberately vacated, and the ground was made of branches. The wood was paved, and there was a large flat stone on it. The big stone was covered with animal skins. It was almost half a person tall. As soon as the cat went in to the left and saw it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The tent has only one door to ventilate. Fortunately, it was still in the morning, and the sun was not too violent. Even if I stayed in the house, I didn’t feel too dull. There were two orc warriors in the room packing their things, and when they saw someone coming in, they stopped their movements.

"Husha, didn't you say that we no longer exchange stone and salt today?" The middle-aged man in the lead gave a light glance at the few people who walked into the tent, then frowned, leaning at the orc who brought them in. Soldier, there was obviously a bit of displeasure in his tone.

The soldier named Husha smiled flatteringly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the middle-aged man tidy up the things that hadn't been arranged. "Brother Chao, they are the Serval brothers I mentioned to you. They once rescued me. Anyway, we still have some stone salt here, or we will exchange some for them first, so that they will survive this winter."

The middle-aged man Hu Chao looked at the animal skins in the arms of the Serval brothers with disgust, "What's the use of this ordinary animal skin? It's better to hunt for a few fierce animal skins and exchange them with us."

"You don't know the strength of the Serval tribe. It can be compared with our tribe. Let them hunt the beasts. Isn't that embarrassing them?"

Hu Chao heard this, his face improved, Hu Sha's words happened to his heart. As the largest tribe in the vicinity, he also sits on a large salt mountain. The warriors of the Tiger Lion tribe are naturally more proud than the others. Some love to hear other people's praise, even if the praise comes from the warriors of their own tribe.

Hu Chao patted Hu Sha's head, walked to the middle, and lifted the skins away. Luo Zhen only discovered that there were fist-sized stone salt, but the quality of the stone salt was not very good, it was gray and white. Alternately, you can even see some brown mud mixed in it.

However, no matter what the impurity of the stone salt, Luo Zhen would filter the stone salt several times before using it. He was more concerned about how much stone salt could be exchanged for the Serval Brothers skin.

When the Serval brothers saw this, they showed a bit of joy on their faces, and hurriedly hugged the animal skins, Hu Chao picking up a piece of wolf skin in the cat's right arms, the wolf skin was gray, and I don’t know if it was peeled off. The reason is not dealt with properly. There is a gap in the edge position. This incomplete and small area of ​​animal skins is not enough to make animal skin skirts for these adult orc warriors. The tiger and lion tribe does not lack animal skins. The children here are able to wear softer beast skins, and naturally look down on this uneven beast skins.

"Brother Chao, here are some deer skins with good appearance. They were hunted back a few days ago and they are clean." Seeing that Hu Chao's face was wrong, Mao Zuo quickly pulled out the middle pieces of animal skins and shook it away with one hand. , Let Hu Chao check it out.

Hu Chao reached out his hand and touched it, and then reluctantly nodded, indicating that Tiger Sand on one side would take the animal skins. He picked out the rock salt pile for a while, and finally picked out two small pieces of rock salt to put in. Go to Mao's left hand, "This is for Husha's sake. Don't mention it to other tribes after you go back."

"Yes, yes, thank you Brother Chao." Mao Zuo smiled and took the stone salt. Then he glanced at the pile of stone salt in a simple and puzzled way and asked: "There are so many stone salt here. Move back to the tribe?"

Hu Zhao Ni gave him a glance, but did not answer his question. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Luo Zhen who had been silent and standing aside quietly, "You also want to exchange stone salt?"

"Yes." Luo Zhen was a little surprised that these two piles of animal skins could only be exchanged for two pieces of rock salt, but seeing the tiger looking towards him, he quickly adjusted his expression, smiled, and asked politely. : "I don't know how much rock salt can be exchanged for a fierce animal skin?"

"Do you have ferocious animal skins?" Hu Chao looked at the two empty-handed men suspiciously, and didn't seem to think they could hunt the ferocious beast. However, Hu Chao still answered Luo Zhen’s question, "Ten ordinary animal skins for one stone salt, and one fierce animal skin for two stone salt. If you want to exchange, please bring the animal skins over now. I'm leaving."

Mao Zuo was taken aback, "You are leaving today? Isn't it a few months before winter?"

Other tribes are not allowed to approach the Tiger-Lion Tribe, and no one even knows where the Tiger-Lion Tribe is located. The orc warriors of the Tiger-Lion Tribe will always drive all the orcs who sneak into the vicinity of the Tiger-Lion Tribe out of curiosity. If they are discovered, they will cut off the stone salt exchange with that tribe, so no one in the small tribe dared to offend this big brother, so they can only stay in the settlement, waiting for the tiger and lion tribe people to bring the stone salt over. exchange.

Hu Chao glanced at him warningly, "Before we leave, I hope you don't tell us what we are leaving early."

Mao Zuo nodded repeatedly and looked sadly at the two pieces of rock salt in his hand. The resources prepared by the tribe may not be able to be sent here today to exchange rock salt with the Tiger Lion tribe. There are only such small two. Can the rock salt make their Servals survive this winter?

The amount of only two pieces of rock salt for one piece of fierce animal skin is really too small. In addition to the short-faced bear hunted before, in fact, they did not get more than ten pieces of fierce animal skin on the way. I plan to use them all in exchange for rock salt, but the amount that can be exchanged is far from enough.

This time their goal is to exchange at least enough rock salt for the entire Sun Yao tribe within three years.

"Besides animal skins, do you need anything else? Something like animal bone weapons?"

Beast Bone Tiger Chao can understand, but Luo Zhen’s weapon can’t imagine what the other party specifically said. Even if it is a tribe as powerful as a tiger and lion, it is still in the primitive stone age, and the stone tools that can be used are also It's just stone knives and stone pots that are used to cut prey and cook meat for ordinary people. After all, orc warriors are all beasts when they fight. Their sharp claws are their strongest weapons, and there is no need to resort to outsiders. Things.

"Animal bones are of no use to us. If the weapon is a stone knife, stone pot, etc., you don't need it." Hu Chao looked at Luo Zhen. When this man first entered the tent, he knew that the other party was a wizard, a wizard's. The identity is always easy to identify, as long as you look at it, it is clear, which is why Hu Chao didn't drive the two people away when they first came in. After all, no matter which tribe they are in, wizards always treat them a little bit more preferentially than others.

Luo Zhen rummaged for a while from the animal skin backpack behind Lu Zhan. They came here this time to inquire about the situation first. Naturally, large items such as animal skins cannot be carried with them. Since the tiger is facing the beast. Bone was not interested, Luo Zhen took out a water bag.

"I want to exchange all the stone salt here."
