Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System

Huanchuan raised his eyes to look at the witch of their tribe, who was a middle-aged orc. At first glance, he looked unremarkable, but a word flashed through Huanchuan's mind - dean of studies.

The corners of his mouth were turned down and the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, which made him look a little fierce. Even though his face was round like a cat, it couldn't hide his stern character.

He didn't know if it was intuition, but Huan Chuan always felt that what he said was a bit sarcastic, but he didn't interrupt. This time he just wanted to see how Xia Lan would handle it. Besides, he was not an expert in this area. He just came here to support the scene and walk around to earn points.

The "dean of studies" walked into the tent and sat down. He glanced at Xia Lan and Huan Chuan twice, but it was unclear whether he was satisfied or not, so he looked away.

"The lives of wandering orcs are unstable. How could they have what we want?" Xia Lan probably heard the witch's attitude. Although there was still a gentle smile on her face, her tone was not as good as before.

The chief did not say anything, but asked Xia Lan: "What do you want to exchange for our tribe, even at the cost of salt?"

Xia Lan ignored the witch and told the tribe leader about their needs: "We need a lot of wood and planks. If we can agree, I will give you the dimensions in a while. It's best to use the wood we specify. We will bring people over to get it every once in a while."

Most of their time building a house was spent collecting materials, especially when they only had a few dozen people.

The chief stroked his beard, as if thinking. The witch spoke again: "It's just a piece of wood. Can't you find it yourself?"

Now everyone was sure that Wu was not welcoming to Xia Lan and the others, and was even somewhat repulsed by them.

Xia Lan looked at him and said, "We still have a lot of other things to do. The tribe has just been established, and this matter is not only good for us, but also for your tribe."

The witch snorted disdainfully, his mouth twitched, one side of his nose wrinkled, revealing a look of disgust: "You are a newly established small tribe, where do you get so much salt to exchange with us for wood? The tribe behind you only let you come here to exchange salt for wood because we are surrounded by forests and it is difficult to fight!"

Huan Chuan raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't like the tone of his voice, he had to admit that this man was definitely a talent in military affairs. Although he thought too much, it was rare for someone to think about this aspect in this era.

After all, this era advocates the use of force and disdains the so-called military tactics, otherwise they would not be able to do without the wolf tribe.

Huan Chuan was looking at Wu with admiration, and the clan leader coughed, "Well, if that's the case, why did they wait until now? Wouldn't it be better to come during the winter when we all don't have enough to eat?"

Obviously the chief is also a smart man. Since their tribe can get the witch from their tribe to come out and do this business, it means that they don’t have enough people now, otherwise they would not ask them for materials.

The team leader really hopes that this cooperation will be successful. No matter where their salt comes from, since they can promise to take out enough salt to exchange for wood, then at least they will definitely have the opportunity to obtain salt steadily. If possible, with such long-term cooperation, they will have more opportunities to exchange for more things at the market.

The clan leader looked at Huan Chuan. Although it was Xia Lan who was talking the whole time, it was probably this sub-beast who planned all of this. He looked young, but he was able to remain calm when facing the provocation of the witch.

The tribe leader started talking to Xia Lan about the price again. Xia Lan did not take out all the salt directly, but first pinched out a little with her fingers, showed it to the team leader, and tasted it before starting to discuss the price.

Although I don’t know where the wolf tribe and the tribe called Ya get their salt from, it definitely doesn’t taste better than the sea salt in Huanchuan’s hand.

The clan leader was indeed very satisfied with the deal and took Xia Lan to the woods to look at the trees. After Xia Lan stated her requirements, she gave the clan leader the ruler made by Huan Chuan, told them the sizes, and even gave them some tools.

Many of the tools were modified tools that they used for convenience when they were building houses. Huanchuan was not worried that the people of the Ya tribe would learn to use those tools, or in other words, it was just right that they didn't have to make them themselves.

These can be regarded as a small benefit given to them by the Yanhuang tribe, and also a way for Huanchuan to test them. If the tribe leader can remember their kindness, it means that the tribe can be trusted. If they really regard these things as their own, then Huanchuan has to consider whether to deal with them in a different way.

They made an agreement to deliver the goods to a fixed place every month. Next time, people from Huanchuan's tribe would be responsible for checking the quality of the wood, bringing the remaining salt, and then confirming the ordered quantity with them.

After the discussion, Xia Lan took out the things they brought, including charcoal, bamboo baskets, straw sandals, and linen.

There are many kinds of orcs in the Ya tribe, and they are very diverse, so there are many good things, including the skin shed from the snake orcs. Huanchuan has been coveting snake skin for a long time.

The snake skin of the orcs is stronger than that of snakes in nature. Even the snake shed is the same. It is tough enough and has a certain degree of defense. Huanchuan plans to take it back to make clothes for the sub-beasts.

However, he had only heard of snake beastmen before, but had never seen one, so naturally he had no chance to obtain the snake skin of snake beastmen.

In addition to snake skins, they also exchanged for a plant that Xia Lan didn't recognize, but Huan Chuan knew it was wheat.

However, the wheat in his world is different. It’s not the fruit of this plant that is edible, but the flowers. The flowers are in the shape of a bag and look like bread on the outside. When opened, there is something similar to flour inside.

The Ya tribe just drinks the water, kneads it into a ball and bakes it. Because there is no fermentation, the baked food is hard.

When Huan Chuan took this thing back, many delicious noodles came to his mind, especially crab roe noodles. It's a pity that now is not a good season to eat crabs, otherwise he would definitely get some crabs to eat.

"Dumplings stuffed with shrimps should be good too." Huan Chuan was still muttering that he should ask the mermaid to get them some prawns and hairtail to eat.

After changing their things, they didn't plan to stay here for long, and they didn't even stay, so they left that afternoon.

"They must have more good stuff, but there's no rush this time. We still have a chance, and we must get all the good stuff out of them."
