Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System

In fact, Huan Chuan had thought about the cooperation he mentioned a long time ago, but at that time he was not sure whether the mermaids needed what they made, after all, the mermaids lived underwater.

But Lu Yuanming said that in order to ensure the fertility rate, the sub-beasts moved to the land. As long as they were on land, they would definitely need daily necessities.

He was just testing the waters, but Lu Yuanming slapped his thigh and said, "You've been talking about me all the time. I forgot about the real thing. I just wanted to cooperate with you!"

However, Lu Yuanming’s thoughts were more complicated. He hoped that Huanchuan could serve as a channel for trade between the mermaids and other races on land.

"This is really a good idea, but I have to remind you first, many tribes on land dare not eat fish. Are you sure you can sell seafood?" Huan Chuan found it funny when he thought about how Ye frowned and swallowed with difficulty every time he ate fish.

Lu Yuanming stroked his chin and said, "To be honest, I want to sell more than just seafood. Mermaids are more technologically advanced than many land tribes. This may be related to the fact that we have no shortage of food."

The sea water is rich in resources, and mermaids are agile and smarter than most creatures in the sea, so it is impossible for them to starve.

Once basic living is guaranteed, there will naturally be enough time and energy to develop science and technology.

The mermaids now have surgery, and many of their medicines are very complete. Their systems are relatively fairer. Although there is no formal writing yet, patterns similar to oracle bone inscriptions have appeared.

"But many things here are still inconvenient. Mermaids don't like fire, and I'm really about to get rheumatism." He said, rubbing his knees.

Huan Chuan smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, there is still some charcoal left from last winter. What can I exchange it for?"

Lu Yuanming raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of surprise: "That's great, we can exchange it with salt. If Olvera hadn't told me that you were refining salt, I would never have thought that animals on the road used salt as currency."

Huan Chuan took out charcoal from his backpack. There was no one else here, so he did not hide his action and showed it directly to Lu Yuanming.

Lu Yuanming was very satisfied: "Great, just name a price."

Huan Chuan shook his head: "I don't want your salt, I want other things from your tribe, for example, the disinfectant you just mentioned."

The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled knowingly.

The mermaids knew that the substance they used for disinfection was wine. "What kind of wine? Is there anything else in your sea that can be used to make wine?"

"Of course not. There is a large area of ​​grapes growing very well on the coast where we are. I can get some for you this year, but you have to exchange them with me."

The two hit it off immediately. Lu Yuanming still needed some time to prepare the salt, and Huan Chuan also said that he could go back to prepare more charcoal. The two parted reluctantly.

Ye hugged his partner, his tone full of grievance: "What are you guys talking about so happily?"

Huan Chuan smiled slightly: "It's a secret, I can't tell you, but this time we can get a lot of good things from the mermaids, and we can make it a port city."

"Port city?" Ye didn't understand.

Huan Chuan patiently explained, "Mermaids cannot come up to the land, but they can give us the things they want to sell, and we will help them sell them to the tribes on land. We can also help them buy the things they need and then sell them to them."

Ye's ears moved: "This method is good, and if they want to trade with the mermaids, they must find us."

But this also means that Huanchuan must recruit soldiers in advance, otherwise there will not be enough manpower.

After returning to the tribe, he found Xia Lan who was in charge of this matter: "I will go with you. Wait for me to prepare two secret weapons."

Huan Chuan looked for the system again and replaced two sleeve darts. These things were small and light, but if they were smeared with poison, they would become deadly weapons.

Armed with weapons, Ye asked to follow, but it didn't matter that the entire tribe was temporarily without a witch. If the chief and the witch were not there, the tribe would be in chaos.

So this time, Huanchuan asked Fei to take him, Xia Lanyi and two other orcs to leave the tribe.

Ye lowered his head and was sad for a long time. Huan Chuan pulled him aside. No one knew what the two said or did, but after they came back, Ye's expression eased a lot.

When the four people left the tribe, Langfu was brought out by his partner. His belly had begun to swell. The orcs' gestation period was short, and it only took two or three months to give birth to a cub. Langfu's belly was visibly swelling.

Fortunately, Lang Fu looked rosy-cheeked and energetic, which made Huan Chuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"You must be extra careful! Do you understand? You can't eat everything, and you can't make people angry easily!" Lang Fu rambled on for a long time before letting Huan Chuan leave.

The first tribe they were going to visit was the one they encountered after leaving the wandering orcs. The scale of this tribe was quite good, at least a medium-sized tribe.

Coincidentally, the two orcs who were on patrol this time were the same ones we saw last time.

One of them is called Yang, and the other is called Qing. Yang is a kangaroo beastman, and Qing is a snake beastman. The last time I saw him, he looked listless and seemed to be still in the Eastern Period. Now he seems to be much more energetic.

"Have you established your tribe?" There were five of them in total, two of whom were sub-beasts. They also carried a few bamboo baskets to hold these things. It was obvious that they came here to exchange things, so they were brought into the tribe without any inspection or questioning.

This time they didn't waste any time and directly explained their purpose to the team leader. The clan leader was very enthusiastic and invited them in, but the witch standing at the door had a sullen expression.

Qing looked at it and was a little confused: "Wu, is there anything wrong?"

Wu turned around and looked at Qing: "If it is true as they said, they broke away from their own tribe, how could they find a place to stay so quickly and have so much salt to exchange?"

When Qing heard this, his face darkened: "You mean, these people might be sent by the big tribe to test us?"

The witch neither confirmed nor denied it, but just asked him to take his men to patrol a little further away to see if there was any ambush. He then walked into the tent, wanting to see what these people were up to.

When he came in, Xia Lan was still talking to the tribe leader. Huan Chuan was sitting aside, just watching Xia Lan's performance quietly. He glanced at Xia Lan, then at Huan Chuan: "Didn't you get what you wanted from those wandering orcs?"
