Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System
Chapter 54 Cotton
Perhaps because the wolf tribe was so powerful, almost no one dared to ask. Finally, Huan Chuan sighed. Although he didn't want to help the wolf tribe buy things, he needed a lot of salt. At the same time, he also hoped to gain the trust of these orcs. He stood up and said, "We have durable firewood here. Just a handful of salt can be exchanged for firewood that can burn for twenty days!"
As expected, his statement immediately attracted many people to stand in front of their stall. Huan Chuan immediately asked several orcs behind him to use charcoal to barbecue. The characteristics of this thing with higher temperature, less smoke and long-lasting burning were immediately demonstrated.
After Huan Chuan finished his instructions, he returned to their tent and hid: "Ye, if anyone asks who made this, you can't say it was me." After saying that, he returned to the tent.
From that day on, the orcs seemed to have opened up their Ren and Du meridians. They picked up things and started shouting. During this time, someone really came over to ask how these things were made. Huanchuan saw the man's appearance through the gap in the tent. He had a typical Asian look, but his eyes were blue. It seemed that he was a mixed-race.
No wonder he can speak the language of the Northern Continent. Judging from his appearance, he might be a good person. However, one cannot judge a person by his appearance, so he cannot expose his true heart easily. He came here this time just to find out where the salt came from.
On the fourth day, when most of the goods were sold out, they prepared to take the salt to other stalls to exchange for some other things. Since they knew Huanchuan knew a lot of things, they took him around the market.
But they still surrounded him, fearing that he would have too much communication with others.
Huanchuan looked out with difficulty through the gaps between the arms of these big guys. Many things here had been replaced, leaving only the specialties of the tribe that had prepared the most.
There were many stones and bugs among them, and some tribes even ate those bugs raw. Huan Chuan turned his face away, suppressed his nausea, and continued walking with them.
It was only then that he noticed that there were very few sub-beasts here. Only some large tribes would bring two sub-beasts as representatives to buy things in order to exchange things for the sub-beasts in the tribe, but the things that could be exchanged were very few.
Suddenly he saw something familiar. He gently poked Ye's back. Ye looked back at him. He pointed with his finger. Ye followed his gaze and saw a bunch of white things. They couldn't see it, but Huan Chuan could see it. Isn't it cotton? This is good stuff!
Ye walked over and pointed at the cotton on the ground: "What is the use of this thing?"
The orc selling goods raised his head, and Huanchuan noticed the man's pupils. They were very special, horizontal pupils, probably a sheep orc.
The sheep beastman glanced at Ye and shivered in fear: "It just looks good. The sub-beastmen like it very much."
Ye turned around and glanced at Huan Chuan: "How do I change these?"
Huan Chuan glanced at a few orcs and walked out. They were not very alert. After all, this sheep orc looked too miserable and did not look like a big tribe.
If Huanchuan knew about this idea, he would probably think they were naive. If it was really as the clan leader thought, the so-called maternal clan of Huanchuan would not contact him in person.
In the end, Ye gave the sheep beastman two handfuls of salt, and all the remaining cotton was returned to Huanchuan.
He put the cotton in his backpack with satisfaction. Although the other orcs were not satisfied, Ye was the leader of the team coming to the market, so they did not dare to say anything.
Several orcs who were very friendly to Huanchuan came up to him and said, "Do you like this? It would be fine if you only exchange one or two flowers, why do you have to exchange them all?"
Huanchuan pulled the cotton out from the flower bud: "This is a good thing. We can rely on it to survive the winter." Of course, the cotton they exchanged for was definitely not enough, but they already knew which tribe the sheep beastman came from, so they could go to their tribe to exchange it when the time comes.
Now Huanchuan needs to cooperate with Ye. Ye has to exchange enough salt for him, and obtain some information, and... people.
They now need enough people. They came here to demonstrate the strength of the wolf tribe and attract some small tribes to join.
Huan Chuan pulled Ye's hand, took down his backpack, put some things he had prepared long ago in the backpack full of cotton, and handed it to Ye: "I don't want to leave, you guys continue to change things, I want to go back to the tent."
Ye He naturally took the backpack from his hand, nodded, and asked several people to take Huan Chuan back. The selection of people was very interesting. Those who followed Ye were people he could trust, and those who followed Huan Chuan were orcs sent by the tribe leader to monitor him. While those orcs still thought that Ye was very smart, they didn't know that he was the person they should be most wary of.
At night, Ye came back with a basket on his back, bringing back some good news, that is, they had indeed exchanged for more salt than before, the charcoal made by Huanchuan was indeed very popular, and they also exchanged for two beast slaves.
It was when Huanchuan and Ye were secretly planning the trip to the market that he learned about the existence of slaves in this world. Some small tribes could not hold on, so they selected some of the old, weak and sick to exchange for food. Some defeated tribes voluntarily became animal slaves to survive in order to prevent their tribe from being killed.
The wolf tribe would never exchange beast slaves, as most beast slaves still cared about their own tribe. But this time it was different, because these two beast slaves were once orcs of the wolf tribe.
The two people looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of them with mixed feelings. They were very lucky and had the opportunity to return to their tribe. They were once orcs who were taken away in the war. After many twists and turns, they came to this market and did not expect to meet their own people again.
Ye asked them to finish drinking the water before they told him about their experiences.
At that time, all the races were at war, and it was also the most chaotic period on the Orc Continent. Before that war, there were not so many orcs living together. Orcs of the same animal type lived together.
Huan Chuan frowned. Not intermarrying with other tribes would eventually lead to extinction. Sure enough, the orcs discovered the problem of inbreeding. In order to obtain more sub-beasts for their choice, the three strongest tribes on the continent began to fight everywhere to snatch sub-beasts.
It was also after that war that the number of sub-beasts dropped sharply, resulting in a lower birth rate for cubs across the entire continent.
Many small tribes were either completely wiped out or reduced to beast slavery, and their sub-beasts were taken away.
A few medium-sized tribes united to fight against the three major tribes.
