A big stick sweeps across the wilderness

The closer we get to the White Thorn Tribe, the more pedestrians there are on the road.

The boundless snowfield suddenly became prosperous.

The heavy snow that has fallen for two consecutive days has also changed from heavy to light.

Like gravel scraping against skin.

The temperature dropped even lower.

Because the mountains are gentle, the hard and cold wind begins to take hold.

Even Jiang Yu curled up his neck to prevent snow particles from falling into his collar.

Aragaki Wakayuki's witchcraft is water-based. But that doesn't mean she's cold-resistant.

On the contrary, she is not as good as Fang Yuan in terms of cold resistance.

The atmosphere outside the tribe was fiery.

Pedestrians carried large quantities of goods, and some even drove cattle and sheep.

Jiang Yu looked at Araguan Ruoxue: "Why do these people bring so many things? Are they paying tribute?"

Aragaki Ruoxue shook her head: "I don't know. I haven't been here since I can remember. I heard that the White Thorn tribe does not bully other tribes. Those people should not pay tribute."

Fang Yuan tightened the animal skin around his neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'm probably going to change things. It's a pity that we didn't bring anything."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu took out three iron knives from his back.

One was issued by the Li Lu tribe, and the other two were picked up by him.

"You lost your knife, I'll leave you one. Use the rest to exchange for something."

Fang Yuan was very surprised: "You don't want to keep it?"

Jiang Yu said disapprovingly: "It's too light and I can't get used to it. Rather than being damaged by me, it's better to replace it with something stronger."

"I'm afraid you can't find anything solid with your strange strength, right?" Fang Yuan complained in a low voice. Not polite to him either.

Jiang Yu took out another short bow from his back: "Which of you can use this thing? If not, I'll exchange it for money together."

He stole this from the little stutterer.

Aragaki Ruoxue had no idea about the short bow, but she focused on Jiang Yu's back: "You...have been carrying these things with you?"

Jiang Yu grinned: "It would be a pity to throw it away, so I'll just take it with me."

Fang Yuan is not as reserved as Araguan Ruoxue. Lifting Jiang Yu's hair directly: "Where are you from? Let me see what other treasures you are hiding?"

Jiang Yu smiled and stepped aside: "It's gone. There's only one stick left. That can't be exchanged."

"And there are sticks?" Aragaki Ruoxue's eyes widened.

She also wanted to lift Jiang Yu's hair and take a look.

Isn't there a row of hooks hidden inside?

The three of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the White Thorn Tribe.

As a result, just by entering the tribe, an iron knife was taken away.

Entry fee!

This is something unheard of.

But what opened their eyes was yet to come.

The White Thorn Tribe doesn't look like a tribe at all. It is completely a very large market.

There are many small stalls and vendors.

Shouts came and went.

It is adjacent to Shirakama Mountain and Monster Forest. Most of the items sold in the market are related to monsters.

The most common cargo is weapons and wound medicine.

In addition, there are leather armor, animal sinews, animal meat, animal skins, and animal bones.

You can even find demon elixirs and witchcraft in higher-end shops.

Of course, slave markets and mounts are also essential.

The most distinctive cargo is the cubs.

After being domesticated, it can be used as a pet and become a powerful partner for hunters.

Most outsiders come here for pets.

Even if the descendants of monster beasts cannot successfully transform into monsters, they are still smarter than their peers.

Every cub that appears in the market will be quickly bought at a high price.

The population of the White Thorn tribe is the smallest among the four major tribes. But if you think that they are not strong enough because of this, you would be totally wrong.

Only when the beast develops intelligence can it have the opportunity to transform into a demon. After becoming a demon beast for hundreds of years, the demon elixir began to accumulate in his body.

This kind of monster is a catastrophe for small tribes.

The monsters in the market were all hunted back by hunters from the White Thorn Tribe.

Those round demon pills are proof of their strength.

In the market, even the ordinary vendors exude a philistine and tough atmosphere.

Jiang Yu and his entourage were dazzled by what they saw.

Fang Yuan sighed: "Sister Ruoxue, were you born here? Why are you so incompatible with your temperament?"

"Ok!"

Aragaki Ruoxue pursed her lips tightly.

She was about to face her family and was a little timid.

The three of them inquired all the way and soon found the big leader's residence.

The result was that the purpose of the visit was explained, but the servants told him that the leader had led the team into the mountains.

While Aragaki Ruoxue felt a little disappointed, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just about to leave. Suddenly a woman walked out of the courtyard quickly.

From a distance, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is sister Ruoxue back?"

"Ok?"

Aragaki Ruoxue turned around and looked.

I saw a strong-backed woman walking forward quickly. He gave her a bear hug directly. He laughed boldly and said: "Hahahaha, I have heard about sister Ruoxue for a long time. I didn't expect you... to be really thin!"

Araguan Ruoxue was a little confused: "Who are you?"

The woman scratched her messy chicken head: "My name is Tao Qingzhu, and I am Tao Bai's sister. Back then, you were sent to the Wushan tribe by the big leader. I stayed here."

"what!"

Jiang Yu, Fang Yuan and Araguan Ruoxue exclaimed at the same time.

Tao Qingzhu has exaggerated muscle mass.

On a cold day, she only wears a leather armor that exposes her navel. The lower body is an animal skin skirt that only reaches the knees.

The exposed skin was covered with hideous scars.

He looked even more like a savage than when Jiang Yu had just left Gui Yulin.

They have all met Tao Bai.

The two of them are not related by blood.

None of them look like the same species.

Tao Qingzhu put his arms around Araguan Ruoxue's shoulders familiarly and said enthusiastically: "Don't stand here stupidly. Come into the house with me. I was still young when I left the Wushan tribe. Tell me what's going on there now." .”

Araguan Ruoxue looked at Jiang Yu and Fang Yuan in embarrassment: "And my two friends..."

Jiang Yu is most afraid of all kinds of entertainment. He waved his hands repeatedly: "Now that we have sent you to the place, our mission has been successfully completed. You and your family can have a good time together. Let's go to the market for a while."

He was still thinking about the orifice channeling ceremony.

Fang Yuan was running all the way and wanted to have a good rest. Seeing that Jiang Yu was leaving, he couldn't stay shamelessly.

He took off the Yao Qin from Jing Jing's back and said with some reluctance on his face: "Well, Jiang Yu and I plan to stay in the White Thorn Tribe for two days. The music you played is very nice..."

Araguan Ruoxue wanted to talk to persuade her to stay, but Tao Qingzhu smiled widely and said: "You have a good friend. He is just a little thinner. Come on, I will ask the kitchen to make monster soup for you."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Jiang Yu and Fang Yuan. He picked up Aragaki Ruoxue and walked towards the courtyard.

Aragaki Ruoxue was like a little chicken in front of her. Completely incapable of resisting.

I can only keep looking back: "You guys... pay attention to safety. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, come here to find me."

While talking, Tao Qingzhu was already pulled into the room.

Tao Qingzhu's loud voice could be vaguely heard: "Oh. In the White Thorn tribe, no one dares to cause trouble. Don't worry, the streets of the tribe are safer than at home."

Jiang Yu and Fang Yuan looked at each other.

They all saw a bit of regret in each other's eyes.

"I haven't even had time to say goodbye properly."

"That's right. Then Tao Qingzhu won't treat us to a meal. Monster soup? What does it taste like?"

"Okay, let's go shopping!"

"OK."

When the two returned to the market, they learned that the White Thorn Tribe was a place that was desperate for money.

No other currencies are accepted here at all.

If you want to buy something here, in addition to bartering, you can only exchange the goods for white thorn coins.

Five sheep are exchanged for one white thorn coin.

When I changed it back, I could only get four.

So everyone who comes here tries their best to spend all the White Thorn Coins.

Fang Yuan and Jiang Yu walked side by side, looking at the various goods. He said with some worry: "It seems like you can't afford anything with the things in your hands."

Jiang Yu patted Jingjing's head: "It doesn't matter, don't we still have it? If there's something you like, just use it to offset your debt."

Jingjing, whom he regarded as a reserve food, looked up blankly.

He looked at Jiang Yu and rubbed his head affectionately: "Jingjing!"
