back to prehistoric savage

The integration and alliance of tribes mostly started with the exchange of materials.

The annual gathering is a win-win situation for the tribes in Hedong. It provides a platform for regular exchanges and exchanges between the tribes. Although it is not yet integrated, the relationship between them has changed from tense to tense. getting closer and closer.

The people who benefited the most from it were undoubtedly the Tiger Skin Tribe.

The Tiger Skin Tribe was originally the weakest branch of the local ethnic group. This can be seen from the territory they occupy: they are located on the edge of the entire Hedong. Because they have to go upstream, they spend a lot of money every time they attend Hedong gatherings. The journey was even longer than going to Star Tribe.

Therefore, before the connection with the Star Tribe, the Tiger Skin Tribe rarely participated in gatherings. Firstly, it was too far away, and secondly, there was no role. When all tribes gathered together, nominally everyone was equal, but in fact the voice and right to speak still remained. Linked to the strength of the tribe.

No matter what the call is, the big tribe responds to the call, but no one cares about the small tribe even if they shout at the top of their lungs.

After experiencing several cold receptions and unfair treatment, the Tiger Skin Tribe gradually lost interest in this annual event. Instead of traveling around to watch other people perform, it would be better to stay at home and show off.

Until many years ago, a group of adventurers from the west of the river changed everything.

The Big Boat tribe did not stay in the Hupi tribe for a long time, but they left behind forever a legendary story, an inspiring spirit, and a route to a new life.

Huzi seized the opportunity. Since then, the Hupi tribe located on the edge of Hedong has been a blessing in disguise, becoming an important hub connecting Hedong and the seaside and promoting exchanges between the two places.

With the sales of seafood products, the status of the tiger skin tribe as "dealers" among the local ethnic groups has naturally increased. They have not missed any gatherings that they did not attend in the past.

The changes in attitudes of other tribes made the people of the Hupi tribe feel proud. This was one of the motivations that prompted them to work tirelessly and travel between the two places all year round.

This year we were treated more enthusiastically than in previous years, and all the tribes passing by were cheering. The reason is very simple: everyone can see that the Tiger Skin Tribe is fully loaded this time!

Huzi enjoyed being surrounded by everyone and was very satisfied.

Someone said: "Huzi, I got so many things in exchange this time. It seems that the Sky Clan's goods are very popular with people on the seaside!"

At last year's gathering, the Dachuan Tribe brought many novelties, which were very practical. It was said that these things came from a tribe called the "Sky Clan". This matter had already been widely spread, and everyone in Hedong knew about it.

"Of course they like the goods I selected! Besides, what is the relationship between the Star Priest and me? Even if they don't like it, for my sake, they are willing to pay a high price to exchange it. If it were someone else, give it a try?"

Huzi pretended, not hiding his pride.

The crowd booed: "So, maybe the Star Priest has taken a liking to you!"

"To be honest, in addition to exchanging goods, did you also exchange other things with the Star Priest?"

"Oh~"

The men laughed playfully.

Huzi smiled but did not answer.

He didn't tell the truth. In fact, most of these goods were going to be used to exchange information about the Sky Clan with the Ship Tribe.Others didn't know what was going on, so they all came to exchange goods with them. Although he was very tempted, Huzi still stuck to the bottom line and shook his head in polite refusal.

He has been a middleman for many years and knows that reputation is the most important asset in this industry.

The Tiger Skin Tribe headed west, and various tribes along the way joined in and followed the Tiger Skin Tribe to the meeting place.

Hu Zi's face is full of joy. The Tiger Skin Tribe is no longer the marginal tribe it once was. He has long been accustomed to the treatment of the protagonist. He vividly tells people about his experiences at the seaside, tells about the grand occasion of the falling stars, and accepts the admiration of the children.

However, as they approached the meeting place, the wind suddenly changed, and a shocking news stole his audience, eclipsing his story: the Sky Clan and the Ship Tribe are coming together!
It’s just that it’s nothing. What aroused everyone’s curiosity were the rumors in their mouths: a goddess with the power of the earth who can make all things grow; a priest with the power of the sky who can communicate with all beasts; it is said that there are many people After looking up at the sky, they all got guidance from the sky!

This is simply incredible!
Huzi was skeptical at first, thinking that either the people of the Sky Clan were talking nonsense, or that the narrator was exaggerating. However, as more and more people came forward to speak out, and everyone swore that they had seen it with their own eyes, there was absolutely no way they could It would be wrong, Huzi had to reconsider.

The crowd around him could not wait to witness the miracle.

Although Hu Zi was somewhat unhappy that the Sky Clan had stolen the limelight, the arrival of the Sky Priest meant that they did not have to exchange information from the Big Ship Tribe, and they might be able to save a lot on the goods given to them by the Star Tribe.

Thinking of this, Huzi no longer felt depressed and urged the tribesmen to speed up.

But he still underestimated the power of the Sky Clan.

When he led his tribe to arrive, he saw a crowd as dense as ants, blocking the stalls where the Sky Clan and the Ship Tribe were. Some came to exchange goods, some had dreams of guidance and asked the Sky Priest to interpret their dreams, and some suffered from hidden diseases. Some of those who ask the goddess to see a doctor are just here to join in the fun...

In short, most of the people from all tribes gathered here, and the scene was unprecedentedly lively!
The tiger-skin tribe arrived last, and faced the dark sea of ​​people, they couldn't squeeze in.

"eagle!"

Huzi grabbed the eagle of the raptor tribe.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the person clearly, he suddenly smiled: "Huzi! Are you here to exchange things for the Sky Clan? Then you have to hurry up. The priest said that the quantity is limited, first come first served!"

The Eagle had just completed the exchange and struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, covered in sticky sweat. But compared to the harvest, this difficulty was nothing.

"My lord priest?"

Huzi was confused by the sudden respectful attitude of the eagle. The eagle in his impression was not such a formal person.

The Eagle said seriously: "You came late and missed the miracle. Otherwise, you would be like me. No, you would only be more respectful than me."

He paused and caught a glimpse of the goods brought by the Tiger Skin Tribe. He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you didn't know it yet. What they want to exchange is not goods, but people."

"people?"

"Humans, savages! You are far away, so you may not know that a group of savages came to our territory a long time ago. We killed some and captured some. From what the priest said, it seemed that we knew each other, so we were willing to use goods to kill them. Change it back."

Huzi's face looked a bit ugly. He spent a lot of effort to deliver the goods, but people looked down on him?
Eagle smiled and said: "The priest didn't say no, he just gave priority to exchanging the savages. Don't worry, if they don't accept it, I can exchange it with you!"

His eyes wandered over the goods brought by the Tiger Skin Tribe. The things from the Sky Clan were certainly precious, and the things from the Star Tribe were not bad either. If he could exchange them at a low price, he would definitely make a profit!Huzi sighed: "You still want to make a profit from my price difference? Have you forgotten what I do?"

He kicked the eagle in the butt and told him to get out.

Hu Zi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The goods of the Sky Clan are very popular among the tribes on the seaside, and can command a very high exchange price, especially the unique linen cloth. The Star Priest said that she can get as much as she wants. This kind of cloth is very light and thin, and is very convenient to transport. It is the most popular. Items suitable for resale.

Hu Zi was destined to win, but now he is watching other tribes happily working hand in hand with the Sky Clan, but he is unable to do anything.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Hey, I got a lot of good things from Star Tribe, let me take a look..."

There was no need to look back, he knew who it was.

Jiang He picked around as if there was no one around, then raised his head, grinned, and showed a pair of white teeth that matched his bronze skin: "Give me half of what you brought, and I will take you to see the priest."

Huzi's eyelids twitched wildly, and he choked out two words through his teeth: "Dream!"

"I thought you wanted to see the priest, and I asked the priest to leave a lot of linen for you. It seems that I thought too much. Okay, I'll let them go out now."

Jiang He turned around to leave, but Hu Zi's face turned green and he quickly called to stop.

We are all peers, not to mention Jiang He is a senior. He knows very well what kind of things are suitable for handing over.

Huzi knew that Jiang He was sure of him, and he really wanted to see the sky priest, but he still wanted to struggle, so he bargained: "Half is too much! Half and half!"

"Half!" Jiang He didn't even think about it, "Don't leave out a grain of salt!"

……

With the Star Priest in front of him, Huzi preconceivedly thought that the Sky Priest would be a woman, so when they first met, he subconsciously mistook Lin Yu for the Sky Priest, which made a big joke.

After figuring out the identities of the two people, he realized that the woman named "Lin" was indeed more similar to the rumored wizard. She was tall and thin, making people afraid to look directly at her.

In contrast, apart from the fact that his hair looked like it had been gnawed by wolves, there was nothing special about the Sky Priest.

"Did you go to the Star Tribe's sacrificial ceremony last year?" Zhang Tian got straight to the point.

"Of course! Almost all the tribes on the seaside will send people there. That is the best opportunity to exchange with them. I have never missed it once!"

"Then have you ever seen a woman with scars all over her body?"

Huzi recalled for a moment, shook his head and said no.

Zhang Tian said "Hmm". Zi Yan's appearance is very conspicuous. Once he has seen it, he will never forget it. Since he has no impression, it means that he has not encountered it.

"Then pay attention next time you go there. I would like to ask you to send a message to her, telling her that I already know what happened, so that she can rest assured. In addition, I also want you to send a message to their chief and the star priest. , just say that the Sky Clan will go to the seaside to visit them.”

Zhang Tian did not beat around the bush and made his intentions straightforward.Where can I find the messenger who comes to my door?

Of course, he learned about Huzi's behavior from Jiang He, so he took out the "remuneration" he had prepared and placed it at his feet.

Huzi was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw the generous reward, he immediately agreed.

It’s just a word, it’s not that difficult.

"Can you tell me the name of that woman? In case she is not in the Star Tribe, I can help you find out."

"Her name is Zi Yan, and she has three companions, namely Wolf Boy, Crow and Leopard Liver."

Huzi wrote down these four names and was very curious about the relationship between these four people and the sky priest. However, he realized that this matter might be related to two powerful tribes. Knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing, but might cause trouble. So I didn't ask any more questions.

"I'll bring the words to you," he promised solemnly.

To be honest, he was a little caught off guard. He originally wanted to inquire about the information, but as soon as he came up, he was given a task and an irresistible reward, and the rhythm was completely messed up.

Huzi regrouped and tried to regain control of the topic: "I heard from Jiang He that you also live in Hexi. Why haven't you interacted with people from Hexi before?"

Zhang Tian smiled. He had already guessed that the other party came with a mission from the Star Tribe. If he were Nebula, he would do the same thing.

Zhang Tian was happy to provide information. In fact, he had already prepared a set of words to vividly describe the power of the Sky Clan.

"The place we live in is called Taoyuan. It is isolated from the outside world and is a fertile land protected by the sky. There is endless food and endless linen..."

Xingyun wants to learn about the Sky Clan through Huzi, and Zhang Tian also hopes that Huzi will bring a powerful image to the seaside to make the other party afraid.

Judging from the recent prayers of Zi Yan and others, it seems that their relationship with Xingyue has become much closer. If they can win over the Star Priest, not to mention whether they can retrieve the Yellow Stone, at least their lives will be safe.

However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is better to take control of it in your own hands than to control it by others.

Huzi was dumbfounded. He knew that the Sky Clan was very powerful, and only a powerful tribe could create so many novel and useful things, but the Sky Priest's description was completely beyond his imagination!
"You said you tamed the thunder beast?"

Huzi swallowed hard. He didn't even dare to think about such a thing, but the sky priest looked like it was a matter of course!
"To be precise, it was the sky that tamed the Thunder Beast, so the Thunder Beast has always lived in the sky. We just received the gift from the sky and gained the power of the Thunder Beast."

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Zhang Tian knew that it was difficult to convince people with words alone, so he asked: "Do you want to see it?"

Huzi misunderstood and thought that the Sky Priest was going to hit his head with five thunders. He turned pale with fright and waved his hands quickly: "I, I, I, forget it, my body is weak and I can't bear it!"

Zhang Tian was stunned, then laughed and said: "I mean that I can show you the power of the Thunder Beast, not use this power to deal with you. The power of the Thunder Beast will only be used to punish those who break their promises, or to deal with us. Enemies, such as those who harm our people." (End of Chapter)
