Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

Chapter 232 Tanit Tribe

The desert area of ​​Sumeru.

Except for the volcanic area of ​​Nata, this is almost the place with the worst climate in the entire Tivat.

Lin Feng and the others had only set foot on the boundary of Aru Village before, and hadn't gone too deep into it.

But it was only after they really went deep into the desert that they really discovered how harsh the natural environment here is.

Lin Feng could bear it.

After all, he had been to the ghostly place of the abyss back then.

Compared with the abyss where there is no food or drink and there is filth everywhere, even sleeping has to mention the abyss of elemental protection.

The lack of food and drink in the Sumeru Desert is not unbearable.

But he can bear it, but it doesn't mean that Yula and Ke Lai can also bear it.

Yula is a clean person, and in the desert area, sandstorms are as rare as wind and rain in the plains, and when the sandstorm is over, even if there is no wind or waves in the shelter made by Lin Feng with rock elements, As long as you go out, you will still be covered in dust, which is very annoying.

As for Claire.

Although she was born in the desert.

But Ke Lai was weak and sick since she was a child, and because of the devil scale disease, the people in the same village were very malicious towards her, so her parents basically prevented her from having too much contact with the outside world, and she was even trapped in the Vitality House .

Therefore, I am quite uncomfortable with the complex and harsh climate of the desert.

If Yura hadn't used the water slime and ice slime she caught to cool off her heat, she might have been unbearable already.

I don't know how the desert with such a lack of water elemental power and ice elemental power gave birth to these two elemental creatures.

The problem of hot weather is still a small problem.

Eating is the biggest problem.

There are very few normal wild animals in the desert of Sumeru. Even if there are, they are the kind of vultures with no flesh, or various scorpions and poisonous insects.

The camels that live in the desert like Lin Feng's hometown can't be seen here, and even similar Daxing creatures are rare.

The ones that are active in the wild are basically all kinds of monsters, the ubiquitous Qiuqiu people, the mushroom beasts that are also pure elemental creatures, the sandworms hiding in the ground, and those thorny beastland hounds and relic beasts.

It's fine that these things can't be used as food, and they are extremely aggressive. As long as they see someone appearing in their territory, they will attack indiscriminately.

Of course.

To the desert people, these monsters are like a god of death, but to Lin Feng and the others, they are nothing at all. Even those sacred beasts, which are known as the most powerful and terrifying monsters in the desert, are nothing in front of Lin Feng and Yula. Not a united enemy.

After walking for a few days.

Lin Feng and the others finally arrived at their destination.

Tanit Campground.

A tribe known as the most powerful in the desert.

Different from other desert tribes.

The Tanit tribe has a very close trade with the rainforest area, and is almost full in terms of force value.

Like other tribes and ordinary mercenary groups, the sacred beasts are no doubt the same as ordinary prey in the eyes of the Tanit tribe.

This is why they are so popular with businessmen in the rainforest.

The powerful force allows them to obtain many rare materials that cannot be found in the rainforest, especially the materials on the sacred beasts are worth a thousand gold.

Just relying on monopolizing the trade of sacred beast materials, they have become an extremely rare tribe in the desert area that has no worries about food and clothing.

"This is an extremely dangerous tribe, and their attitude towards transactions is very wavering."

"Sometimes they will keep their promises better than Liyue's businessmen, and sometimes they will turn into bandits who kill people and steal goods, but they dare not do this kind of thing on the opposite side, Mr. You who trade, must be careful of their rebellion."

Dolly's advice was still ringing in Lin Feng's ears.

It's just that Lin Feng didn't take this reminder seriously.

As soon as they came to the territory of the Tanit tribe, there was a stern shout.

"Hey, stop, this is the territory of the Tanit tribe, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Then, two tribesmen dressed as mercenaries rushed forward with sharp knives, blocking Lin Feng's way.

Lin Feng looked at these two people.

Dolly had given him a detailed introduction to the Tanit tribe.

This tribe not only hunts around for resources like the nomads, but also has a close cooperative relationship with many mercenary groups.

People in the tribe often join other mercenary groups as mercenaries.

This kind of experience is the reason why the Tanit tribe is powerful and has few enemies in the desert.

"Talking to you, are you deaf?"

Seeing Lin Fengguang standing there and not answering, the older guard seemed a little impatient.

Such rude and rude words did not anger Lin Feng. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am the messenger of Master Sangge Mahabayi. Here is a letter for her to deliver to Babel, the mistress of the Tanit tribe."

"Master Sangge Mahabayi?"

The two guards looked at each other.

To be sent out as guards, the eyesight and insight of the two of them are naturally in place.

At least.

They are very clear about the name Dolly Sanga Mahabay.

This is the big merchant who has the closest dealings with the tribe.

Mistress Babel had specifically warned that as long as someone mentioned this name, they would be treated as honored guests of the tribe.

There is such an order before.

Naturally, the two guards did not dare to be negligent, and their arrogant expressions just now became humbled, and they stretched out their hands respectfully: "It turns out to be the honored guest of Master Sangge Mahabayi, please come in, please come in, We're going to inform the mistress."

Follow the two guards.

Along the way, Lin Feng and the others really saw the difference of the Tanit tribe.

The people in this tribe are actually farming!

To know.

The desert area is barren and desolate, and it is not suitable for farming at all.

This is also the key to the rainforest area's tight grip on the desert area.

Because it is not suitable for farming, no matter how powerful the mercenary group or tribe in the desert area is, they will inevitably accept those unequal deals in the rainforest area, exchanging those rare materials they fought for with their own lives for a small amount of food, pure water, and other living supplies.

At first glance, I saw that the Tanit tribe had really reclaimed the wasteland. Although the output was not too high at first glance, compared to being exploited by people in the rainforest, this was already a precious resource.

"How? Have you seen the strength of our Tanit tribe?"

Seeing Lin Feng and the others' surprised expressions, the two guards looked extremely proud.

Everyone who is a guest of the Tanit tribe, as long as they see this farmland, there is no one who will not be shocked.

"Being able to farm in the desert is indeed a bit of a skill."

Lin Feng gave a sincere admiration.

Yura and Kelai also nodded in agreement.

For such appreciation, the two guards proudly puffed up their chests, and their steps became more powerful.

"interesting."

Instead, Lin Feng glanced at the cultivated land again, and muttered meaningfully.

Dolly Sanga Mahabahi is a well-known name in the Tanit tribe.

Lin Feng and the others didn't have to wait long before they saw a woman with a hot body and a delicate face that didn't match the people in the desert.

This is the capable mistress of the Tanit tribe, Babel, as Dolly said.

behind her.

There are also six men and women with different looks.

"Dear guest, I have kept you waiting."

Babel said a little apologetically, and then sat on the main seat.

The other six people sat on the chairs on his left, facing Lin Fengyoula and Ke Lai.

"Fortunately, I didn't wait too long."

"Dare to ask the guests to come this time, but does Master Sangge Mahabayi have any business to do?"

Unlike those uneducated desert people who are full of foul language, Babel speaks more like those cultural elements in the rainforest area.

when speaking.

Her eyes only paused for a while on the eyes of gods on the shoulders of Kelai and Yula, and then she put all her attention on Lin Feng.

She can still tell who is talking about it at a glance.

"Master Sangge Mahabayi didn't send me here this time to do business."

Lin Feng and Babel looked at each other, smiled and took out a bag of things from his arms and threw it over: "Here, Master Sangge Mahabai asked me to bring this to you."

An old man sitting first on Babel's left hand had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and with a movement of his body, he snatched the bag into his hands.

Lin Feng glanced at him and said, "It's not easy for a cripple to practice his skills to this level."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The old man didn't care about what Lin Feng said, but replied with a smile.

then.

He opened the bag and carefully checked the contents inside.

After seeing the familiar white crystal, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then impatiently stretched out his finger, dipped it in his mouth and licked it.

After tasting the salty taste he imagined, the old man shouted in surprise: "Salt! It's salt! Mistress, it's salt!"

Hear the word salt.

Babel's confident expression also changed suddenly.

Salt is a contraband that is strictly prohibited from being transported to the desert in the rainforest.

Except for the channel of the Holy Order, there is no way to get it from other places.

She had mentioned it to Dolly before.

Dolly refused without even thinking about it, and said that no matter how much the Tanit tribe paid, it was impossible for her to do such a thing that touched the foundation of the Order.

But now.

Why did she suddenly agree to this matter?
Babel, who has always viewed people with conspiracy theories, did not believe that Dolly had found out her conscience and decided to make such a dangerous deal with herself.

At the same time, she was still worried about one thing.

That's whether Dolly would offer a price that would drain the Tanit tribe dry.

Just when she was restless in her thoughts, Lin Feng said quietly: "Mother Babel, don't think too complicated, Master Sangge Mahabayi gave you a batch of salt from the Tanit tribe for free. .”

"!!!???"

"what!?"

"impossible!!!"

"Guest, don't talk nonsense about this!!!"

Several people in the Tanit tribe responded surprisingly unanimously, and everyone couldn't believe the authenticity of this incident.

This is the trade of salt.

Even if you, Sangge Mahabai, propose a deal that is unacceptable to the Tanit tribe, they still think it is normal.

But the only thing is that they don't believe in these four words for free.

There is no free lunch in the world.

This ancient Liyue proverb can be said to fit perfectly in the desert area.

In the desert of Sumeru.

You can trust a person who asks you for a huge reward, but you can never trust a person who shows you kindness for no reason.

This is an unwritten rule of thumb.

"Oh, the salt is free."

"It's just that what you need to do is more troublesome."

Lin Feng has met all kinds of people, so he can naturally see what the people of the Tanit tribe think.

He said so.

Instead, the Tanit tribe breathed a sigh of relief.

Just ask for it.

Babel smiled confidently: "Guest, tell me, no matter what it is, as long as our Tanit tribe can do it."

"In the next three years, all business groups in the Holy Order Institute will kill each one they meet, and no one is allowed to escape back to the rainforest area."

"."

Hearing this request, Babel's smile froze.

There was a deathly silence in the tent.

The seven members of the Tanit tribe all twitched, looking at Lin Feng in astonishment.

What is Dolly Sanga Mahabahi doing?
Do you monopolize the transactions in the entire desert area?

But in doing so.

Once it was found that the murderer was the Tanit tribe, with the energy of the Order, the Tanit tribe would have no choice but to die.

But Dolly Sangmahabayi is not someone he can offend.

After careful consideration, Babel, the mistress of the Tanit tribe, said: "Guest, please forgive us for not agreeing to this matter, even if you are willing to provide us with salt as a reward."

"No, no, no." Lin Feng shook his finger, "Salt is not a reward, it is a personal gift from me."

Under Babel's puzzled eyes, he continued: "With the honor of Lord Sangge Mahabayi as a guarantee, I am willing to provide the daily salt needed by the Tanit tribe free of charge."

As he spoke, Lin Feng stretched out two fingers: "20 years."

"Twenty years?"

Babel froze.

The other elders of the Tanit tribe were also stunned.

They thought that what Dolly provided would be enough salt for the entire tribe to live frugally and consume for a while.

I didn't expect this to be the unit of year calculation.

20 years of salt.

Enough salt for 20 years.

The Mora saved from here alone is enough to bring the Tanit tribe to a higher level in a short period of time, and even give them the ability to truly unify the tribes in the entire desert area.

But Lin Feng has always insisted that this thing is a gift from her, and has put aside any relationship with Dolly.

This seems like an odd move.

The meaning is also very simple.

Dolly had nothing to do with the killing of the businessman called the Order Academy, it was all done voluntarily by the people of the Tanit tribe.

This made several principals of the Tanit tribe have to hesitate.

"Dear guest."

Babel's address changed back to before: "It's a matter of great importance, please give us three days, during which time, we will meet all your needs in the Tanit tribe."

"Okay, yes."

Lin Feng didn't expect Babel to agree to such a big event immediately.

Before leaving the tent, he stopped again, turned his head to Babel and said with a smile: "As an addition to this deal, I don't know the formula of Fengwo Zhihui, is Mistress Babel interested?" ?”
