Chapter 98: Mountain People Lead the Way

"Who are you and why are you hunting in our territory?"

The first person to speak was a strong man who was the leader of the group of people opposite.

Li Yan could barely understand the poor Da Zhou official language.

"My name is Chen Tong. I went into the mountains to hunt exotic beasts. However, when I was chasing an exotic beast, I went too far and couldn't find the way back."

"I really didn't know this was your territory. To express my apology, this exotic beast leg is my gift of apology."

Since we can communicate, one of Li Yan's purposes in going into the mountains is to find the tribe of the mountain people and exchange for some precious spiritual medicines.

And these people in front of him are most likely mountain people, so Li Yan showed his generosity and sincerity in order to leave a good impression on these mountain people.

After all, a person's first impression can be the basis for people to evaluate a person.

A good first impression makes it easier to get in touch with him later.

Sure enough, facing Li Yan's generosity, these people pointed at Li Yan and kept saying something.

However, Li Yan could not understand what they were saying. It was probably the language of their own tribe.

Finally, it was the big man who took over Li Yan's words: "Ignorance is not a crime. Let's forget about it this time, but if we see you hunting in our territory again in the future, don't blame us for being rude."

"As for this strange beast leg, it is too precious. You can take it back."

The big man looked at the strange beast leg that weighed at least 100 kilograms with some reluctance, and finally refused.

You know, even in their tribe, not every hunting can kill strange beasts.

Moreover, strange beasts are also dangerous, and not every encounter with strange beasts is a good thing.

Therefore, facing Li Yan who can hunt strange beasts, he maintained a certain respect and issued a warning.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a strange beast leg. I still have a lot of strange beast meat there, and I can't eat it all by myself."

As he said, he stuffed the strange beast leg in his hand directly into the big man's arms.

The big man is not a person who pays attention to etiquette. Li Yan has handed things to him twice, so he didn't refuse again.

After taking the beast's leg, he first tore off a bit of fresh flesh and blood to try it.

"Hmm? Medium-level beast meat."

Suddenly, the surprise on the strong man's face could not be concealed at all.

When he looked at Li Yan, admiration and vigilance were shown in his eyes.

"Yes, medium-level beast meat, I just killed it when I met it on the road."

Li Yan was going to create the image of a master. Although it would make people vigilant, if the operation was good, he could also get the other party's favor and recognition as soon as possible.

"I plan to roast these beast meat here, so that it can be taken on the road."

"Do you want to help? Then everyone can share some."

The big man instinctively wanted to refuse, but his fellow tribesmen behind him had different opinions.

Although they didn't speak the official language of the Great Zhou very well, they could listen, so they listened to the conversation between the two.

Medium-level beast meat, their hunting group couldn't kill this level of beast, so many people hadn't tasted it.

Since there was a chance to taste it this time, there was no reason to let it go.

Finally, the big man didn't hold on and chose to stay and help Li Yan grill meat.

So, some of the others looked for dry firewood, some set up the support, and some started a fire.

On the contrary, Li Yan had nothing to do.

But Li Yan was happy to do so, and he pulled the big man who also had nothing to do to chat.

How could the big man be Li Yan's opponent? After a few words, he gradually revealed his true colors.

The big man's surname was Zhuang, and his name was Lin. The people of the Zhuang tribe were indeed the mountain people that Li Yan guessed.

Zhuang Lin is now a cultivator in the Bone Forging Realm and one of the hunting team leaders of the Zhuang tribe.

There are about a thousand people in the entire Zhuang tribe, and one third of them are hunting team members.

It can be said that except for children and the elderly, even women have to join the hunting team.

Li Yan saw that there were two wheat-skinned women in Zhuang Lin's team, who were cutting the meat of the exotic beast into long strips.

There are three people with the greatest power and prestige in the Zhuang tribe, one is the chief of the Zhuang tribe, one is the first warrior of the Zhuang tribe, and the last one is the high priest of the Zhuang tribe.

The chief does not need to be introduced. The first warrior of the Zhuang tribe is the most powerful person in the Zhuang tribe, with the cultivation of Yunzang realm.

The priests are responsible for presiding over various sacrifices. The tribe has no festivals, but they have sacrificial days.

Sacrifices to ancestors, gods, heaven and earth, four seasons, and harvests.

These all need to be presided over by priests, and the high priest is naturally the head of all priests.

Such a position with divine power attributes sometimes speaks better than the chief.

After learning this information, Li Yan has a deeper understanding of the Zhuang tribe.

"Zhuang Lin, can I stay in your Zhuang tribe for a few days?"

"You also know that I am lost, so I want to follow them out when your tribe waits for those merchants to come to your tribe to exchange supplies."

Like Xinghu and their tribe, the Zhuang tribe is also patronized by merchants.

Otherwise, the Zhuang tribe would not be able to develop. After all, even if everyone practices martial arts, they can resist common colds and increase survival rate, but hunting is not playing house. You will get injured, be bitten by poisonous insects, and so on.

These all require elixirs and doctors from outside. The Zhuang tribe has no elixir inheritance, only some medical prescriptions passed down by the high priest.

In addition to these, salt, seasonings, cloth, jewelry, etc. in daily life are all things that the Zhuang tribe cannot make.

The Zhuang tribe could only exchange them with animal furs, smoked meat of exotic animals, and rare medicinal materials and elixirs found by chance.

Although the two values ​​are not equal, both parties to the transaction are quite satisfied.

Zhuang Lin thought for a while and finally agreed to Li Yan's request.

Among them, it was Li Yan's kindness that moved him more.

While the two were chatting happily, the first batch of exotic animal meat was roasted.

Because it used the spices Li Yan carried with him, it smelled particularly fragrant.

Everyone who smelled this smell couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Everyone, you're welcome. Let's eat together. Eat as much as you can."

Li Yan took the lead directly, picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth. In a few seconds, the barbecue was crushed under his steel teeth. After entering the body, it was turned into blood by special power and stored in a mysterious place. space.

Then, continue eating the second piece of barbecue.

Seeing that Li Yan was eating so deliciously and so quickly, the others followed suit.

However, they could only eat two roasted meats at most before they were full. Zhuang Lin had the highest cultivation level and ate the most, but he only ate five roasted meats.

Li Yan was different. He never stopped until he finished the twentieth item and finished the first batch of barbecue.

Then, he saw the admiring looks in other people's eyes.

"Brother Chen, you have such a good appetite. You can almost eat as much as all of us by yourself."

"If you participate in our village tribe's food king competition, you will definitely come first."

Zhuang Lin looked very impressed.

"Hehe, I have been able to eat it since I was a child. When I was a child, my family was almost impoverished and was given away to others."

"I practiced martial arts later and was able to hunt and support myself, so I didn't starve to death."

Li Yan looked embarrassed.

After this episode, the distance between Li Yan and the mountain people of these village tribes got closer.

Half an hour later, Li Yan's medium-sized exotic animal meat was all roasted.

Li Yan gave away three sticks of meat, Zhuang Lin gave ten sticks, and then he kept the others.

It’s not surprising that there are so many people, it’s obviously a step closer.

After that, Li Yan walked side by side with Zhuang Lin very naturally.

Others didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, because of the presence of a master like Li Yan, the difficulty of obtaining prey dropped sharply.

Often Li Yan can directly kill a prey with a pebble, without them having to do anything. They only need to be responsible for picking up the prey's carcass and transporting it.

Those pebbles were all found by Li Yan from the creek before, and he still had dozens of them on him.

We walked for about an hour, stopping and stopping along the way.

There are reasons for hunting, and there are reasons for taking detours to check for traps.

These traps were set up by these mountain people, just to prevent the hunting harvest from being low, and to rely on these traps to supplement the harvest.

When passing by one of the traps, Li Yan was a little embarrassed.

Because he fell into it before and was destroyed in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, Zhuang Lin and others did not take a closer look, otherwise they would have seen many human traces on those traps.

Finally, we finally arrived at the Zhuang tribe.

There is a circle of large tree trunks three feet in diameter and five feet high around the tribe, forming a wooden wall that tightly surrounds the tribe.

"This looks no less than the city wall outside."

Li Yan sighed.

"That's right, this wooden wall can't be destroyed even if a strange beast comes."

Zhuang Lin replied very proudly.

A path had obviously been dug out of the wooden wall, and people could be seen walking on it from time to time.

And in some places, weapons such as bows and arrows are also installed.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the clan leader."

When Zhuang Lin arrived at the Zhuang tribe, he obviously felt at home and felt more confident when facing Li Yan.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"What's the trouble? Isn't it just a matter of leading the way?"

Zhuang Lin replied disapprovingly.

When passing by the entrance of the tribe, the unfamiliar face Li Yan was naturally inspected by the guards.

After getting the guarantee from Zhuang Lin and others and removing his weapons, Li Yan was able to enter the Zhuang tribe.

Entering the Zhuang tribe, Li Yan saw buildings that were different from those of the county seat and the county seat.

Each house is one foot high from the ground, and they are supported by black and shiny wood as big as the mouth of a bowl.

These houses are made of wood and bamboo and cover a large area, but they generally only have one floor.

Moreover, these houses are all fenced under, and there are various creatures inside.

Li Yan only saw pheasants, wild boars, and wild sheep. There was even a family that kept a nest of pythons and was not afraid of them running out.

Many children in the tribe gathered around these animals, either feeding them or teasing them.

"These houses?"

Li Yan directly asked the guide beside him - Zhuang Lin.

"Oh, you also know that there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in this mountain. No matter what kind of insecticide, the effect is good at first, but then it becomes much worse. I don't know what the situation is."

"It's drug resistance."

Li Yan answered silently in his heart.

"Later, we simply used iron wood to prop up the house to prevent it from touching the ground."

"Ironwood is not only as hard as iron, but also has the effect of repelling poisonous insects. It can be said to be the best wood for building houses."

"It's a pity that there is too little iron wood, so we came up with this method."

"In the end, as expected, from then on, no news came out that any clan members were bitten to death by poisonous insects at night."

Zhuang Lin explained to Li Yan one by one.

"As for those animals, they are all kept as spare food by each household for winter use."

"Okay, the patriarch's house has arrived."

Zhuang Lin brought Li Yan to a wooden house that was larger and more imposing than other wooden houses.

After following Zhuang Lin to the wooden house, Li Yan saw the leader of the Zhuang tribe.

A strong old man with a gray beard but very energetic.
