Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 185: Bold
Tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah.
The sound of footsteps came from inside the hole.
The people in the cave are walking step by step, they are not in a hurry, they are a little careless, they are not panicked by so many strangers in the cave.
There was no fire in the cave, it was pitch black, so at first, the people in the cave could not see the people inside, just because of this sudden appearance of the person who was alert, they all picked up the weapon and walked out towards the person.
In a place like this, even a small, blind figure can make you unlucky and must be cautious.
Closer to the hole, the light grew brighter and brighter, and those who came out of it gradually revealed themselves.
The man looked very young and dressed in linen clothing. Although a little wrinkly, he could tell that the linen clothing was much better and more finely knitted than the one Shao Xuan had seen in the clan. At the collar, there are also decorations made up of small pieces of bamboo in series that make the linen look less monolithic.
The man lifted his arm and stretched his lazy waist. The light in the hole was a little dazzling. He grabbed his grassy hair with his hand and looked at the person standing in the hole, “Huh, another person? ”
“Are you?” the leaders in front of the team looked at each other and asked.
“This hole is ours, get out of here!” There was also a younger one next to him. He was planning to take a better position in the hole. When he did it, he was scared by the sound in the hole. He ended up robbing the place by the people behind him. Now he is in a bad mood and his tone is naturally a little rushed.
He did not notice, however, that the arrogant tone of the leader of his team had just become much more relaxed, nor did he notice the sudden discoloration of the faces of some experienced travellers on the team. Without answering, he was going to say anything else, and was dragged into the team by some of the older people next to him.
Shao Xuan looked at the people who came out. He knew that although hemp had started to become popular in the central region, there were a lot of people wearing hemp at the market. However, the hemp that came out of this body was much better, and carried very rounded bamboo pieces of ornament. Most importantly, the jade hung between the waist of the other party.
Experience in the team has said that in the reckless tribe, almost everyone carries balls, except that some are very small curves, some are semi-rings or even circles, and it can be said that in the reckless tribe, status is associated with jade stones, and in front of this young man, the balls hanging between his waist are almost two hundred and forty degrees of curves, and although the balls are not carved, there are some clear green lines like bamboo.
Though I don't know why this man came to sleep in the cave, I can't offend him. This is what several leaders thought of at the same time.
The man seemed to have swept away the group of travellers at random and said, “I'm asleep, go inside. ”
No one walked in the team, but as the person walked, the team blocked in the hole, quickly made way, some unidentified young people, were pulled away by the older companies around them.
No one blocks the entrance, more light from the hole, and it also makes this strange young man more visible. They're pretty white, they don't look strong, they don't feel very strong. Without Panning leaders like them, they dress well, just don't know why everyone is so shy. And when everyone's eyes swept to the jade hanging from each other, the person who was still cursing in his heart, his eyelids dropped and he didn't look at each other.
For a while, the cave calmed down, and the people who had just had a lively discussion shut their mouths.
The atmosphere is a bit solidified.
Tap, tap, tap--
The sound of each other walking slowly, but you can hear it very clearly, and even the noise outside the hole can't hide the footsteps in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, people walking out of the hole stopped and looked sideways at the distant team.
The leaders in front of the team felt tight and punched each other in the eye, thinking about what to do if something changes.
But they didn't want to. They just looked inside the team, meaning they laughed deeply and laughed. “You have a lot of nerve. Don't go alone while you're out. ”
The rest of the team, with that person's eyes, looked at one place, where Shao Xuan was standing frowning.
After that, the man left, stood outside the hole, stretched his lazy waist, moved his arm, looked down the hill, and jumped.
The hillside, the slope is steep and some height from the ground below.
But when the person outside the hole looked down, he didn't see the figure.
“Don't look, it's gone.” Panning said, walking to Shao Xuan, with a cold face, probably because of internal injuries, his face looked even worse: “Have you ever offended a reckless tribe? ”
“No, first time here, I've never seen a reckless tribe before.” Shao Xuan wondered, how could he know exactly what the other person was talking about?!
“Never the best!” Panning heavily “hummed," because of the sound of “hum," which caused the injury in the body, coughed several times, almost coughed up a breath of blood, but to maintain face, stabilize the military heart, and hold that breath of blood back.
“Clear the cave.” The previous leader said.
Worried that there were others in the cave, after the people lit the fire, they walked in with the torch, carefully checked it out, took out some garbage and threw it outside, and started to find a place to rest. After such a long journey, after coming to the center, nerves were tightened, and now finally a cave can be grabbed. It is true that some people with injuries need to take good care of themselves.
Shao Xuanhe and waited for a few people to find a place to rest, light a small fire heap, and cook the meat with them again, only to eat full strength.
“Shao Xuan, do you really not know that man?” 30686; asked.
“No, I don't know what he meant by that.” Shao Xuan kept thinking about the reason, even wondering if the other party had found him to be from the Flaming Horn tribe, but had not heard of any grudges between the reckless tribe and the Flaming Horn tribe. Moreover, Shao Xuan did not feel malice from each other, of course, nor did he have good intentions, just strangers.
The other side, and the people who left the cave, were already near the market. He did not walk into the market and wandered about a hundred meters from the market.
Whoa!
An elongated spear came at great speed and plugged into the ground in front of him. Nearly half of the spear instantly went underground.
“Curse! Hand over the white spirit! ”
A white figure blinked from a hundred meters away to the curve.
This is a young woman in a silk white coat, and she looks at the ploy with anger on her face.
“Isn't that just a spider? How many days have you been after me?” Kutsuki beat the crap out of him and said, "You care about your spider, what about the bamboo rat I worked so hard to raise? You're paying me? I'm also going to brew a big pot of soup for a few more days and have a good meal. Oh, and I'll go back and have a look, yo! Only bones left! ”
Speaking of the latter, the face of the curse cooled down.
“Your bamboo rat I can compensate with silk coat.” The women in white spoke a little slowly, "she said.
“Well, do you think everyone rarely smells like spiders from your tribe?! When we reckless tribes don't have good stuff?! ”
“Anyway, you must hand over the White Spirit today!” Women in white don't back off.
“I'm still afraid you won't... Wait!” Before the opponent does it, the curve is quick to stop.
Looking at the sky, the cursory gaze stood somewhere, just now with anger on his face, smiling and lifting his hand.
After a breath, a green figure flashed over and finally rested on the curve's palm.
It's a bird with wings like knives and tails like swallows. Because it's too small, if you don't look closely, you can easily mistake it for an insect.
“Find out what?” The ploy touched the bird's head with its fingers, "he said.
The bird screamed and gently pecked his pecking fingers.
“Finally found the thieves.” Happy curse, “something, I won't talk to you, give it back!” The trick was to pull a white ball out of a leather bag hidden in her clothes and throw it at the women in white.
The women in white caught it quickly and watched the "white ball” on their hands. It was a spider covered in white hair, and now it's wrapped in a fist-sized ball, and there's a couple of bamboo pricks in it. These are the bamboo pricks that caused this white spider tremendous pain.
“Curse!” White women are more angry on the face.
“What a shout, it's not dead yet, much better than my poor bamboo rats. If I eat so many bamboo rats, I will be punished. How many times will I die? You deserve to die! ”
The woman in white couldn't help but hold her breath and pull out a few fine bamboo pricks from the "white ball". After a while, the “white ball" gradually spread out, a long leg with white hair stretched out, and the fist-sized "white ball” more than doubled.
“Look, he's not dead yet. Next time you eat my bamboo rat, it won't stick!” I don't have the heart to stay here any longer. The trick is to collect the bags: “I'm going to catch the thief, I'd like to see who else steals my bamboo rat. I really don't have the temper to be an old man? ”
The green bird has taken off and the curve follows closely. And after a moment of hesitation, the white woman followed, and she also found that some of the silk on the spider webs in the tribe had been smoked, wondering if it was the same as the reckless ones who stole jade stones and bamboo rats.
——————
Shao Xuan, having eaten food, took a short break and went out of the cave with and others. The members of the expeditionary team were divided into two groups of operations, one dealing outside, one guarding the cave and the other alternating in the morning and afternoon.
Now, Panning goes out with people from the Pu tribe, and they will trade a bunch of items in this market, something popular in the middle, and take it back with them, not necessarily popular, and they have to choose according to the habitual preferences of those tribes along the river's edge, so that they can take it back for more. Just like the rough linen that Shao Xuan saw in the beginning, there is nothing here. You can replace it with something, but after you take it back, you can replace it with a good water moonstone, and water moonstone can replace it with more good things.
Due to the lack of a unified currency, the transactions Shao Xuan sees are all kinds of strange items. Sometimes the buyer takes them out, the seller doesn't like them, and the transaction can't succeed.
The several things taken from the frog are quite popular, the transaction is quite smooth, and the water moonstone of the tribe is smoother. If there is enough, Shao Xuan feels that the water moonstone of the tribe can be used as a unified currency. Regardless of which tribe the seller from, Shao Xuan wants to trade with the other party, the water moonstone can succeed. It is no wonder that the people of the clan are so excited every time they see the clan. Aquamoonstone is so versatile.
Higher than the water moonstone, is the jade stone of the reckless tribe, which is equally powerful in trading, except that it is a lot more "expensive” than the water moonstone.
Shao Xuan is not interested in linen and ceramics, and those jade stones from reckless tribes touch a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Perhaps there are other uses for Totem warriors, but Shao Xuan feels that he doesn't need these, and doesn't have enough financial resources, or don't bother with jade stones.
Shao Xuanzheng walked with and others in the market, and a square face greeted him.
“How many of you need jade stones?” The man quickly swept around his eyes, seemed to be guarding against something, and then pulled the loose sleeve of the animal leather coat, and Shao Xuan saw several jade stones in the sleeve.
“Jade stone?” There is some tension, he is actually curious about the jade stone, except that other people in the tribe say that the jade stone trade is not good value, so the people of the Jade tribe will basically not trade the jade stone.
“Forget it, I don't have anything to trade for jade stone, I can't change anything else with jade stone.” 30686; Rejected.
The rest of the clan thought the same way, only Shao Xuan's head seemed hesitant.
“How can this jade be exchanged?” Shao Xuan asked.
“I think the kind of white rock you just took out would be nice, just use that. But... it's so eye-catching here, let's go over there.” The man pointed to a place.
“Shao Xuan, let's go with you.” 30686; says. It is said that such transactions are dangerous in the marketplace and are often carried out in groups.
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan said to a few people, “No, you guys keep going. I'll catch up when I've finished trading in the past. I'm quite interested in Jade Stone, I want to see more. ”
“Yes, there are many kinds of jade stones on our side, and they have been carefully carved.” The guy's fast track.
“You sure you don't want us to come?” a slightly older person next to him asked Shao Xuan.
“No, thank you. ”
“All right then.” Some of the deals on the market may indeed involve some personal secrets, and the elderly man of the tribe stopped saying, "Take and wait for others to keep moving forward.
When they went a little further, Shao Xuan said to the jade dealer: "Go, but I think it's a good place. ”
Shao Xuan pointed to another place, “There are few people there. ”
“That way... is fine.” The man walked next to Shao Xuan, slightly behind by a half step, under a loose leather vest, fingering a gesture in one direction.
After a distance from the market, Shao Xuan stopped.
In front of him, on the left and on the right, a man appeared, and in the rear was the maize trader at the market.
Shao Xuan turned to look at the maize trader, who was laughing on the other side, and now is laughing as well, just missing an affinity, a lot more ruthless, loose in the leather coat of the beast, long gone.
Four people, put Shao Xuan in the middle, the surrounding circle gradually narrowed.
“Kid, give me the stuff.” The man in front said.
Shao Xuan did not make a sound, nor did he show panic.
“Don't hide it. We know exactly what you're carrying. But you have the nerve to bring such a precious thing and dare to come with me alone.” The jade trader's eyes flashed with greed.
Precious stuff?
Shao Xuan thought about it, he has a lot of precious things on him, such as wormhide liners, those special silk threads, the water moonstone of the clan counts, and... the crystal!
Shao Xuan's eyes flashed and he remembered the man in the cave saying, “You have a lot of nerve. Don't go alone while you're out. ”
