Chapter 71 Primitive Trade
The leading woman wore a string of blue toothed shells around her neck. She had a scar on her face and thick arms. She was a female warrior.

She walked with ten men and women all the way, and the tribes on both sides retreated one after another. This is the daughter of the patriarch of the Yi tribe. She is a warrior in the middle of the second rank. She is very concerned about the scars on her face. Face.

The Jiang people took out animal skins, dried meat, and stone tools one by one.

When the woman approached, she picked up the animal skin, touched it and put it down, took some dried meat, ate a little, and was not satisfied. Finally, she chose the five best and largest animal skins.

In particular, one of the big-horned deer's skins made her very satisfied. The big-horned deer's skin had very few holes. It didn't look like it was hunted by a spear. It should have been killed by some giant carnivorous beasts. The big-horned deer was very large. , with a shoulder height of 2 meters, which is comparable to a small elephant. Even with the cooperation of velociraptors, it is difficult to hunt such a complete animal hide. What method did this small tribe that still uses new elephants obtain? Such a complete big horn deer hide?

she thought so.

Seeing this, Li Yan picked up a few old stone axes, handed them to her, and said: "This beautiful female warrior, these stone axes are good weapons for hunting countless beasts, how about this, the animal skins are left for We, I will give you six stone axes, how about it? You see, although these stone axes are old on the surface, they hide a very powerful aura, only the strong can."

In her heart, the tribe here is not worth mentioning at all, how could she be so easy to deceive, she directly ignored Li Yan, took the animal skin, turned around and left.

Mu shook his head, then comforted: "Forget it, they are the suzerain tribe, and they will choose some good items from each tribe to take away every year, and we still have animal skins."

"Since they received our tribute, why did the Wudang people attack our tribe and kill so many people in our tribe, and they didn't help? Shouldn't they protect us?" Li Yan was very angry every time he recalled this incident. , these big tribes received tribute, but did not perform the duty of protection. The Taka tribe didn't have a clan.

"Yan, have you seen that totem tree?" Mu Lian pointed to the [-]-meter-tall totem tree in the middle of the circle. The tree was divided into five layers, lush and lush, and surrounded by circles of green mist.

"Totem tree." Li Yan looked at that, the totem tree is the patron saint of each tribe, every tribe can survive in the wilderness, it is inseparable from the totem tree.

"The totem trees of all our tribes come from that huge totem tree, just like each of our tribes comes from our surname." Mu Shen said, "A person cannot survive in the wilderness, and neither can a tribe survive in the wilderness." To survive, only when multiple tribes form a tribal alliance can they survive in the wilderness."

"Mm, I understand." Li Yan nodded, but secretly said: "One day, I want them to pay tribute to the Jiang Tribe."

"Take it!" Mu handed another piece of tortoise shell to Li Yan.

"Oh?" Li Yan came back to his senses, took the tortoise shell, and saw many stick figures engraved on the tortoise shell.

"Sakura and I are going to meet Mu of the Yi Tribe. These are the supplies our tribe needs." Mu said, "Can you?"

"It can be, it can be, but I can't understand it." Li Yan looked at the bone characters on the tortoise shell, and felt very confused about what it was.

"Rabbit, you go with him."

"Ah."

After a while, Mu, Ying and Yang Yan, accompanied by five soldiers, rushed to the main city of the Yi tribe.

Leaving five warriors to guard the camp, Li Yan and the tribal woman named Jiang Tu took some goods with five men and women to purchase supplies needed by the tribe.

In addition to his own goods, Li Yan also carried three animal skin bags, which were filled with seashells and pearls. They were picked up from the strange beast Ma Tenghua before. According to Mu, these things are very valuable, even a A bag can be exchanged for a soul essence.

This is a trading area for ordinary tribes, and they are all relatively weak tribes. Naturally, the goods they sell are not rich, but they are all defective products such as tattered animal skins, straw mats, stone tools, and bones. Mainly practical, lack of exquisite appearance.

"Patriarch, we need sulfur." ​​Jiang Tu looked at the tortoise shell and said to Li Yan.

"Sulphur. What's the use?" Li Yan looked up, pointing to the booth of the Lieshan tribe in the distance, "There, the Lieshan tribe has sulfur."

"Sulfur can repel insects and snakes, and can make some medicinal mud to smear on your body. Every time you go out, there is sulfur in the mud you smear." Jiang Tu replied.

Everyone came to the stand of the Lieshan Tribe.

Lie Shanli, the patriarch of the Lieshan Tribe, greeted them politely. The small tribes here do business with other small tribes, and the big tribes seldom come to this area to exchange goods.

"Clan Chief Lie Shan, I want sulfur."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he ordered people to fetch dried meat, animal skins, and stone tools.

Lie Shanli carefully observed these goods, and finally chose the remaining five animal skins.

Jiang Tu also chose the opponent's animal skin bag, about thirty catties of sulfur.

Barter.

Both sides nodded, so a single transaction was made.

Li Yan and others continued to purchase supplies, and the next batch needed thirty obsidian scrapers.

The Kuikai tribe is rich in obsidian, so they came to this tribe.

Five baskets of obsidian were placed in front of the booth of the Kuikai Tribe. Each basket was half a meter high. They had a lot of obsidian. In addition, there were many tools and weapons made of obsidian.

Obsidian has the characteristics of glass, and the broken section is shell-shaped, which is very sharp. Even modern scalpels are made of obsidian.

The patriarch Kui Kui took a fancy to the 25 Paleolithic tools brought by Li Yan, which were large felling stone tools such as stone axes, stone picks, and stone adzes. Large flint tools were easier to use than obsidian tools.

And Jiang Tu also chose thirty and a half fist-sized black stone scrapers. These obsidian scrapers only have a blade at one end, but they are very sharp. They can be used to cut meat, scrape animal skins, and cut hair. This is a small knife , this kind of stone tool seems to have more advantages than iron tools. First, it will not rust, and second, its sharpness is not much different from iron tools.

Twenty-five large stone tools were exchanged for thirty obsidian scrapers. This deal was acceptable to both parties.

"Patriarch Kui Kui, can you show me your stone spears and arrows made of obsidian?" Li Yan asked again, pointing to the stone spears on the side.

"That's for the Wo family and the Yu family." Patriarch Kui Kui quickly walked over to fetch a stone spear and an arrow, "Patriarch Yan, if you like these spears and arrows, I can only give you three each."

As he said that, Patriarch Kui Kai ordered someone to fetch another piece of thick animal hide. This thick animal hide is a kind of hard animal hide similar to crocodile skin. This kind of skin is difficult to pierce with a flint spear.

Patriarch Kui Kai put the hard hide on the ground, and then stabbed it with an obsidian spear, which was much stronger than a flint spear.

The more Li Yan looked at it, the more he liked it. Obsidian spears are undoubtedly better than flint spears. Although tribes can smelt iron, projectile weapons like short spears can't be recycled in many cases. The cost of making short spears with iron is too high.

"Patriarch Kui Kui, I want all of your obsidian baskets. Tell me, what should I exchange?"

"Okay." The Kui Kui patriarch rejoiced.

Just as he was talking, two groups of people suddenly walked towards the Kuikai tribe swaggeringly. The Yu family and the Wo family belonged to the You family tribe, and their strength was stronger than the ordinary tribes here. The patriarchs of these two tribes walked with their heads held high. Yes, very proud.

The patriarch of the Wo clan frowned when he saw Li Yan there.
