"Chief, here we come!"
A totem warrior from the Valley tribe pointed forward and shouted in surprise: "The exchange ceremony is ahead."
The disgraced and exhausted Gulu regained his energy, hurriedly quickened his pace and walked up the high slope ahead.
After climbing a high slope, his field of vision suddenly broadened. He could easily see rows of large rocks in the distance ahead, as well as figures walking among the large rocks.
at the same time.
The witch bone hanging on Gulu's waist lit up, and a very thin line of light shot out from the witch bone, extending forward and connecting to one of the big rocks.
"Finally, we've finally arrived at the exchange ceremony."
Gulu was so excited that he turned around and announced to the tribesmen down the hillside.
"Wow!"
Upon hearing his words, the three totem warriors cheered in unison at the foot of the hillside.
After the five people from the Valley tribe cheered for a while, Gulu said loudly: "Let's work harder and get to the exchange ceremony before resting!"
He and another tribesman ran down, picked up two half-high animal skin bags from the ground, and continued moving forward.
Even though I was moving forward this time, I felt that the power of the totem was gradually blocked, and I could no longer use the power of the totem to move forward.
But each of them felt full of strength, the fatigue from the long journey seemed to have disappeared from their bodies, and their steps became lighter.
As the pace gets faster and faster, the exchange ceremony gets closer and closer, and they become more excited.
Encountering a sixth-grade ferocious beast on the road, they had no choice but to take a detour. They thought that the exchange ceremony had been closed and they were about to give up.
However, with Gulu's encouragement, they still cheered up and rushed towards the location of the exchange ceremony.
Now that the exchange ceremony is actually coming, the five people in the Valley Tribe all have a dreamy and unbelievable feeling.
But this feeling was fleeting, and they couldn't help but worry again when they thought about what they would bring to participate in the exchange ceremony.
"Chief, can we really exchange these things for ferocious beasts?"
"Yes, these things are unpalatable and not enough to eat. I'm afraid no tribe will trade the ferocious beasts with us."
"It's very likely that no tribe will trade with us. We only have a few bags of these things on hand. Being able to exchange them for the body of a seventh-grade ferocious beast is considered a blessing from Grandmother Earth."
…
Not only were the other four totem warriors of the Valley tribe a little downcast, Gulu also had a look of worry on his face.
He sighed and said: "Okay, why don't I know about the things you are worried about? But if we don't exchange these things, what else can our Valley Tribe have to exchange for?"
"leader……"
"Okay, no need to say more, let's take these things to the exchange ceremony and have a look. If there is someone to exchange, just exchange it. If there is no one to exchange, forget it. Just treat it as a visit and see what the exchange ceremony is like."
Gulu interrupted their words and led several people from the Gu tribe to find a big rock they owned by following the witch bones.
There was some dust on the big rock. Gulu asked the tribesmen to wipe off the dust, and then put the animal leather belts they brought forward.
The arrival of the five people from the Valley Tribe made other surrounding tribes very curious.
At this time, it has been six days since the exchange ceremony began.
After the exchange ceremony started, many tribes did come one after another, but as time went by, the fewer tribes came.
The last tribe to come after the exchange ceremony started was two days ago, and after that no tribe came over.
Therefore, the arrival of the five people from the Valley Tribe made everyone very curious as to what kind of goods their tribe had, and they had to rush over when the exchange ceremony was about to close.
As soon as Gulu put the animal skin bag on the big rock, a group of tribesmen gathered to watch.
"Hey, which tribe are you from? What goods did you bring?"
someone in the crowd asked curiously.
The Valley Tribe is a small tribe, with a population of just over forty, and only eleven totem warriors. Gulu is the strongest totem warrior in the Valley Tribe, but he is only an eighth-grade totem warrior.
The totem warriors he brought this time were almost half of the tribal totem warriors, and except for one who was an eighth-grade totem warrior, the other three were all ninth-grade totem warriors.
If it hadn't been for this autumn and he hadn't hunted too much food to survive the winter, Gulu wouldn't have taken the risk and come to the exchange ceremony to try his luck with the things he found in the wilderness.
Facing the crowd of onlookers, Gulu was a little scared, but thinking about the future of the tribe, he gritted his teeth and opened the animal skin bag.
Gulu said: "We are from the Gu tribe, and the thing we want to exchange is called Gu, which is a plant that grows near our tribe."
"Gu, is this it?"
Everyone looked inside the animal skin bag he opened. Inside were green and yellow shelled grass grains.
These grass grains are very small, some are even no bigger than a pebble.
"Yes, this is edible. If you eat too much, you can fill your stomach." Gulu nodded quickly and whispered: "Maybe it just tastes a bit bad..."
"Can it be eaten?"
"Can it fill your stomach?"
Everyone was a little confused after hearing Gulu's words.
Someone said: "Can you try it?"
"Okay." Gulu responded, pinching fifteen or six grains of millet and giving them to the man.
"so little?"
The man frowned, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let me try how it tastes."
As he spoke, he threw the fifteen or six grains of millet into his mouth, chewed them twice, and then a bitter taste filled his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Immediately, the man vomited it out, "It tastes too bad!"
Gulu took a distressed look at the millet that the man vomited on the ground. In the Gu tribe, these fifteen or six grains of millet were a meal for an ordinary person.
"Is it so delicious?"
Someone in the crowd was suspicious and stepped forward to take a taste, then spit it on the ground, shook his head and left.
Hua Xuan is also among these people.
The Vine tribe's salt mines have all been exchanged, and a lot of seventh-grade ferocious beasts have been exchanged.
She exchanged these seventh-level ferocious beasts for some witch dominoes and a "healing" witchcraft.
Some of the rest were kept as food for the journey back, and some were given to Qiuye to exchange for some materials, such as beautiful amulets, bone necklaces, etc., to be taken back to the tribe.
It stands to reason that the things of the Vine Tribe are almost ready and they can go back.
But Hua Xuan asked her tribe to stay at the exchange ceremony.
The reason is not for anything else, but to wait for the Qingque Tribe to go back together, because the Teng Tribe alone cannot cross that big river.
However, what made Hua Xuan angry was that she clearly saw that the Qingque tribe had harvested a lot and there was nothing worth exchanging, but she stayed at the exchange ceremony and did not leave.
Just for the right to use that clay pot, can I exchange for three or four seventh-grade ferocious beasts every day?
As for that?
Your Qingque tribe already has seven or eight sixth-grade ferocious beasts and fifth-grade ferocious beasts. What use do those seventh-grade ferocious beasts have to you?
Hua Xuan couldn't understand. She was angry, but it was of no use.
Yang Cheng didn't plan to leave, and the Teng tribe had no way to leave early.
