The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 332
West Desert, Scorpion Tribe.

The hot sun and the yellow sand everywhere are the constant scenery of this boundless desert.

Creatures that can survive in such a harsh environment have their own special way of survival.

Camels are animals with a strong ability to adapt to the environment among the desert creatures.

Most of today's camels are still wild and have not been domesticated by humans. For example, the Scorpion Tribe, they have lived in the desert for a long time, but they have not been able to domesticate camels.

Not to mention domestication, it is difficult to hunt this kind of animal that walks like flying in the desert.

After all, human feet are actually not suitable for walking on hot sandy ground. Unlike camels, which have wide soles, they can run much faster in sandy ground than humans.

Therefore, when Chen Bei brought the camel meat back to the Xie tribe, it shocked the people of this small tribe.

The camel was big, and Chenbei brought back a lot of meat, some of which were given to the soldiers of the Mang tribe staying here, and part of it was given to the Wu of the Xie tribe by Chenbei, and the witch distributed it to the members of the Xie tribe.

Chenbei's move made the members of the Xie tribe feel more favorably towards the Mang tribe, and the members of the Mang tribe received more warm hospitality in the Xie tribe.

Of course, due to the lack of supplies, this warm hospitality was not reflected in the supplies, but in the attitude of the Scorpion tribe.

In the afternoon, Shaxie, the leader of the Scorpion Tribe, finally returned from mining with more than 20 warriors.

Each of them carried a heavy ore on their backs, leaving several rows of deep footprints in the yellow sand.

"The leader is back!"

In the oasis, the soldiers guarding the scorpion tribe yelled, which startled everyone.

"Go and see what good things they brought back."

In the stone house, Chen Bei got up and walked outside with Hong Hua and the warriors of the Mang tribe. He was full of expectations. Whether the Mang tribe could refine bronze would depend on how much copper ore Sand Scorpion could dig out.

Coming outside the stone house, Chenbei saw a large pile of copper ore under the Jujube tree, including green malachite, blue azurite, and natural copper covered with verdigris.

Chen Bei stepped forward and turned over, nodded in satisfaction, as long as these copper ores were brought back to the Mang tribe, bronze should be smelted smoothly.

This is his biggest achievement in the Western Desert besides the salt lake, and it will usher in a very major innovation in the tools and weapons of the Mang tribe.

"Gudong Gudong..."

Sand Scorpion and the 20 or so warriors who went out to mine stood by the spring, pouring water into their bellies.

In order to carry these ores back in time, they walked under the scorching sun, and the water they carried had already been drunk, and everyone was dying of thirst.

After drinking, they stuffed some salt and a few grains of sand dates into their mouths, and then lay down under the cool sand tree, chewing while recovering their strength.

After recovering a little strength, Shaxie stood up, pulled himself together, and walked in front of Chen Bei.

"Chief Chen, can these beautiful stones be traded?"

Chen Bei picked up a piece of azurite ore to look at it, picked up another piece of natural copper, scraped it with a stone knife, nodded and said: "Yes, these can be used for trading."

"Great, it's finally not in vain."

The leader of the Scorpion Tribe breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Chenbei would not want the Shitou back, and he would have nowhere to cry.

Chen Bei knew what the Scorpion Tribe wanted, and he immediately said to Hong Hua, "You take a few soldiers and display all the goods we brought."

"Yes!"

Red Flower immediately took five soldiers to the resting place of the flamingo, and moved all the goods they brought.

Then, they spread out the goods one by one, just in front of the large pile of copper ore.

Seeing these goods, all the members of the Scorpion Tribe cheered up, even the twenty ore warriors who carried the ore.

Although they have seen it before, they are still amazed by the exquisiteness and variety of goods of the Mang tribe.

Chen Bei said to Shaxie: "Boss Shaxie, what kind of goods do you like, just exchange them with us with that beautiful stone. Let's start now."

The sand scorpion was in full bloom, and the hard work of the past two days was not in vain.

He looked left and right in front of the huge pile of goods, and finally picked a tin pot. This kind of utensil with silvery white luster was so beautiful.

"Chief Chen, I've taken a fancy to this pot."

"The leader of the sand scorpion has good eyesight. This is the latest utensil made by our Mang tribe. It is called a tin pot. It is much stronger than pottery. Even if it falls on the ground, it will only deform a little and will not break."

As Chen Bei said, he picked up a tin bowl as a demonstration, and threw it directly on the ground with stones.

"when!"

The tin bowl hit the stone with the sound of metal clashing, without a single dent or crack.

These tinware are all protected by the totem patterns of the Mang tribe, which are much stronger than ordinary tinware.

A soldier next to Chen Bei immediately picked up the tin bowl, and at Chen Bei's signal, handed it to Sha Scorpion.

Sand Scorpion took the tin bowl and observed it carefully, and found that there was no crack on it, which was much better than fragile pottery.

Sha Xie became more determined to get a tin pot. He hugged the tin pot and said, "Boss Chen, how do you trade this pot?"

"Boss Sand Scorpion, as you have seen, this kind of tinware is much better than pottery. As for the price, it is naturally much more expensive."

"However, who made us friends, so..."

Chen Bei picked out ten pieces of high-quality copper ore from the ore team, and said: "These stones belong to me, and the tin pot belongs to you. What do you think of this deal, the leader of the sand scorpion?"

Ten pieces of ore is the amount that the two soldiers carried back.

Sand Scorpion thought it was worth it, so he nodded decisively: "I agree!"

"Okay, congratulations to the leader of the sand scorpion, this tin pot belongs to you."

Chen Bei asked his totem warriors to take away the ten pieces of ore, and the deal was considered complete.

Next, the Sand Scorpion did not choose those beautiful painted pottery or tinware. For the Scorpion tribe, the most important things were weapons and animal skins.

Therefore, the sand scorpions used all the remaining ore to exchange for stone tools and rabbit fur coats from the Mang tribe.

Among those stone tools, there are stone knives, stone spear heads, etc., most of which are weapons.

The rabbit fur coat, which is strong and warm, is something that members of the Scorpion tribe need very much.

Soon, a large pile of copper ore was traded, the Scorpion Tribe got what they wanted, and the Mang Tribe also got what they wanted.

It can be said that this is a very successful transaction.

"Leader Sand Scorpion, since the transaction is completed, we should go back. We have been out for so long, and the clansmen in the tribe should be worried."

Chen Bei actually wanted to go back sooner and smelt these copper ores into pure copper, and then smelt them into bronze together with tin. He couldn't wait to see the birth of bronze wares.

Of course, this kind of thing will naturally not be told to the Sand Scorpion Tribe.

"Are you going to leave so soon? Will you come to trade next time?"

Sha Xie still felt a little reluctant to leave, he was very afraid that after Chen Bei went back, he would not come next time.

"Of course, you can continue to dig those stones. When we come next time, we will bring more goods to trade with you."

Chen Bei's words reassured Sha Xie a lot.

"Chief Chen, since you are in a hurry to go back, I won't keep you, see you next time."

"see you later!"

Chenbei asked the soldiers to pack all the copper ore in animal skin bags and tie them to the flamingo. Afterwards, they left the scorpion tribe on the flamingo.

The flamingo flew far away, but the sand scorpion was still waving in this direction until the flamingo disappeared.
