Fifty copper ores?
Mai shook his head and said: "No, it's still too much. This stone from your Tengu tribe has no use other than being beautiful. We can't exchange it with you."
After listening to Mai's words, Gou Qing frowned and felt confused.
It shouldn’t be. The Qingque Tribe wants so much copper ore, isn’t it just because the copper ore is beautiful? Now that there is a stone that is more beautiful than the copper ore, the Qingque Tribe is reluctant to change it?
Gou Qing asked: "Then how much do you want to change?"
Mai pondered for a moment and said, "One piece of stone like yours can be exchanged for ten pieces of copper ore."
"Ten pieces of copper ore, one pair of hands?" Gou Huan on the side was startled, then shook his head and said: "No, too little, too little!"
"That's enough. You have ten totem warriors. Isn't one piece of copper ore enough for each of you?"
"We have ten totem warriors here, but there are still many in our tribe, and ten pieces of copper ore are not enough."
"Then how much did you say?"
"As my sister said, fifty pieces of copper ore."
"No, it's too much..."
…
Gou Huan and Mai were arguing, and they pushed back and forth. In the end, one white stone was exchanged for twenty-five pieces of copper ore of the same size.
Both parties are quite satisfied with this result.
For the Tengu tribe, one piece of white stone can be exchanged for twenty-five pieces of copper ore. With such a large amount, it is very good.
For the Qingque tribe, although this white stone has no other benefits besides being beautiful, if you take it back to the witch, the witch must know about it.
Besides, even if this white stone is useless after being shown to Wu, twenty-five pieces of copper ore for a nice-looking white stone is actually not a loss.
There is a lot of copper ore, and only the Stone Tribe mines it. These quantities of stones are not much at all, just a tiny amount.
Of course, the premise is that the Tengu Tribe cannot know about things like copper ore. The Stone Tribe has many more.
Think of this.
Mai winked at Shi Chang, who nodded quietly knowingly.
Immediately, Mai asked someone to select some copper ores of the same volume and with the best luster from the animal skin bags.
Seeing this, the slightly distressed expressions on the faces of the Tengu tribe softened a lot.
Gou Huan counted the number of copper ores exchanged using vines and knotted ropes. After confirming that there were twenty-five and no one was missing, he nodded towards Gou Qing.
Gou Qing then handed the white stone in his hand to Mai. Also handed over was the animal skin cushioned under the white stone.
Faced with Mai's doubtful eyes.
Gou Qing explained briefly and spoke a little more: "This kind of white stone is a bit strange. Once it touches water, it will become smaller. If you hold it with an animal skin as a cushion, it will not touch the sweat."
"Is that so?"
Mai Da felt strange. After holding the white stone in front of him, he looked back and forth, but couldn't see anything, so he put it close to his body and showed it to the witch when he returned to the tribe.
After the exchange is completed.
The Tengu tribe looked delighted. Everyone held the copper ore and looked at it carefully, unable to put it down.
"Ouch...woof!"
Gou Huan even shouted excitedly again.
After shouting, Gou Huan reacted, immediately covered his mouth and peeked at Gou Qing next to him.
Seeing Gou Qing also holding the copper ore and playing with it back and forth, he was so happy that he didn't pay attention. He breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Then Gou Huan continued to focus on the copper ore he obtained.
But he didn't notice that Mai was looking at him doubtfully.
"The cry this guy made in front of me sounded familiar. It was the cry of some ferocious wolf-like beasts I encountered in the wilderness."
Mai wondered in her heart, "But, what is that 'woof' sound at the back? Is there a wolf-shaped ferocious beast making that sound in the wilderness?"
He couldn't understand it, so he stopped thinking about it.
Because at this time, Shi Chang asked: "Mai, when do you plan to leave?"
Mai originally wanted to rest for a while and then leave.
It was still noon at this time, so if we went back immediately, we would be able to find a good place to stay when it gets dark.
However, when Shi Chang glanced at the Tengu tribe members and then looked at him, there was a look of pleading in his eyes.
Mai suddenly realized that Shi Chang wanted them to stay a few more days. After all, a new Tengu tribe had appeared. If the expedition team left immediately, the Stone tribe might be in great danger.
So, Mai Xiangxiang said: "Let's stay for a few more days. We have been on the road for so long and it's time to rest."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the beast meat for you to eat."
Chang Shi looked happy and spoke to Shi a few times, asking him to let the tribe prepare.
He nodded stonyly and ran away immediately.
Dogs have good ears, and Mai and Shi Chang didn't hide their words when they spoke. When the totem warriors of the Tengu tribe heard the words "ferocious beast meat", they suddenly became hungry and screamed "gurgling".
Gou Qing took his eyes away from the copper ore and carefully put it back into the animal skin bag.
No matter how beautiful the copper ore is, it cannot be used as food.
"Let's cook too."
Gou Qing said to everyone in the Tengu tribe.
"Yes, chief."
Fortunately, the ferocious beasts placed on the ground were not exchanged.
Two totem warriors from the Tengu tribe picked up the body of a ninth-level ferocious beast, asked Shi Chang where there was a river next to the tribe, and prepared to dispose of the body.
The Tengu tribe did not reveal any evil intentions, and Shi Chang could not drive others away immediately, and it was not difficult to just borrow a place to cook.
Then Shi Chang pointed to the river in the distance.
That side is far away from the mine and is in two completely different directions. People from the Tengu tribe are not afraid of discovering the copper mine.
The two totem warriors of the Tengu tribe said thank you and went to the river to dispose of the beast's corpse. However, after taking a few steps, each of them suddenly thought of something.
Turning his head, he said to Gou Qing in embarrassment: "Chief, we don't seem to have any witch dominoes for flame magic. We have no fire source, so we can't barbecue."
There is no fire source and no barbecue, which means that you can only eat raw food.
This is very uncomfortable for the Tengu tribe members who are used to eating cooked meat.
So upon hearing this, all the totem warriors of the Tengu tribe frowned.
Gou Qing also raised her eyebrows, but then she thought of a way. She looked at Shi Chang and asked: "Chief of the Stone Tribe, can you give us some fire? How about I give you a ninth-grade ferocious beast in exchange?" ?”
Generally, there will be a fire source in a tribe, and there will be people who watch the fire, keep firewood, and throw firewood into the flames to maintain the fire source.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Gou Qing made this request.
A ninth-level ferocious beast in exchange for a fire source?
This must be changed. A source of fire is not difficult for the Stone Tribe.
"Okay, you can come with us."
Shi Chang smiled and nodded in agreement, and then led the expedition team of the Qingque tribe and the totem warriors of the Tengu tribe to the tribe.
