Ch125 - Rice and Millet

“I wonder what the tribes on the Beastman Continent are like.”

“These people look just like us.”

“They look weaker than us…”

……

People from the Big Bear Tribe whispered amongst themselves.

Zhu Zhan heard this and said, “The small tribes on the Beastman Continent are similar to those in the wild forest, but they know how to grow a variety of plants, which means they don’t have to worry about starving.”

“We also know how to grow plants,” the people of the Big Bear Tribe said.

Zhu Zhan didn’t say anything else. The Big Bear Tribe was a magical existence in the wild forest.

The people of the Grass Tribe who were walking ahead of them didn’t hear what they’d said. They brought the people of the Big Bear Tribe close to their tribe, then boasted, “Our tribe is up ahead. Many, many plants are grown in our tribe. We even grow corn.”

Xiong Ye knew that Zhou Ji liked to mess around with all kinds of plants, so he looked curiously in the direction that the other party was pointing in and saw a large farmed area filled with plants he didn’t recognize.

The fields of plants were very messy, and there were many weeds in the soil. It was just like how their tribe used to farm land a few years ago.

This kind of thing… According to Zhou Ji, the output of this method was limited.

Xiong Ye was suddenly a little disappointed.

Zhou Ji been using his spiritual powers to survey everything around them since a long time ago. At this time, he was actually very calm. He was just a little curious to know what kind of plants this Grass Tribe had planted.

He recognized quite a lot of plants, but he needed to wait until these plants matured before he could know what they were.

It was early spring, and the Grass Tribe had only just sown the seeds into the fields not long ago. The sharp buds of the growing plants were mixed in amongst the weeds, and if he didn’t produce some with his abilities, he wouldn’t be able to know what exactly they were.

And it wasn’t like he could simply start growing plants while everyone was watching, so he simply decided to wait and see.

Farming had greatly developed in the Big Bear Tribe over the previous year. Because of this, nobody felt that there was anything that special about the fields that the Grass Tribe had planted when they saw them. On the other hand, when the person from the Grass Tribe who was responsible for leading the way saw how calm they were, they determined one key point––this Big Bear Tribe was definitely a large tribe!

People who had come from small tribes in other places would be admiring the fields when they saw such a large stretch of land that was used for growing food!

They were still thinking about this when everyone had walked through a large field and arrived at some thatched huts. The people of the Grass Tribe spoke again, “This is where our tribe lives.”

Maybe only the large tribes would have something that could surprise them?

The people of the Big Bear Tribe were quite disdainful. The Grass Tribe noticed this situation and increasingly felt that these people must be extraordinary. Their houses were built very well; they were the ones who had built houses for the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, yet these people felt no sense of wonder when they saw them…

“Hello, I’m the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe.” A thin, middle-aged man came out and smiled at Xiong Ye and the others.

“Hello, I’m the tribal chief of the Big Bear Tribe.” Xiong Ye replied.

“The Big Bear Tribe? I’ve never heard of this tribe before…”

“We live a little far away from here.” Xiong Ye explained. “We live near the coast by the sea, a long distance away.” They couldn’t say that they were from the wild forest, so they had previously discussed it amongst themselves and agreed to say that they lived by the sea.

It just so happened that they had obtained a lot of salted fish, seaweed, and other such things from the Beach Tribe and had brought all of it along, making it possible for them to disguise themselves as a tribe from the seaside.

“You guys live by the sea?” The people of the Grass Tribe were rather surprised. “Are you all out here for business? Do you have salt?”

“We do.” Xiong Ye replied.

To the Beach Tribe, drying out seawater for salt didn’t take much work, because as long as there was sun, they would be able to make salt all year around.

As for the salt that was dried out, they would be stored some distance from the sea to avoid it getting damp.

Because of this, although the waves swept up by Hai Feng and Zhou Ji’s fight had washed away the houses of the Beach Tribe, they still had quite a lot of salt left.

Xiong Ye had obtained a lot of salt from them, and while most of it had been brought back to the Big Bear Tribe, they still had a small portion of it with them.

“That’s great! Can we trade with you for salt?” The Grass Tribe tribesmen were extremely delighted. “We have delicious corn.”

Xiong Ye certainly wouldn’t object. “Yes.”

“That’s great! Guests from far away, welcome to our tribe!” The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe was overjoyed.

And when the people of the Big Bear Tribe made a stop and took out some salt, they were even more delighted, immediately bringing out a lot of corn.

Zhou Ji glanced over and discovered that the corn that they were talking about was actually millet.
