Chapter 391 (2/2)

After he had accepted the animal skins, Black Bear looked at Shao Xuan, “Twenty skins and that stone carving, how much gold wares do I owe?”

What people here call “gold wares” mostly referred to bronze. It was also the target of people of the Flaming Horn tribe.

At this point, Shao Xuan had just finished the stone carving in his hands.

He heard what Black Bear said, so Shao Xuan blew the leftover crumbs on the stone carving, then looked up at the man to say calmly, “Thirty.”

Black Bear gazed at Du Kang and Shao Xuan, back and forth, the stopped at Shao Xuan. He nodded. “OK, another 10… Not more than that. And it’s best if it’s bearskins. If there are no bear skins left, then something close to bearskin.”

Du Kang grinned and motioned to the people behind him to tidy up ten more.

While others tidied up the skins, Black Bear took the stone carving and stared at it with a very satisfied look. He carefully placed it in a thick fur bag, then pulled his coat from its tether. With a whoop, his hands clutching the coat opened in a domineering way, facing Shao Xuan and Du Kang and the crowd.

Under the coat, Black Bear had exposed the large and small sword, axe and other bronze he had. Some were inserted in his garment, some with large points like his axe, sword and such were inserted in his waist. Some were lightly hanging on the side of his coat.

Shao Xuan did not speak. He had a few guesses.

No wonder Black Bear intimidated people. He really was carrying something intimidating!

With so many things inside his coat, how could it not be heavy? This was not a bear but simply a humanoid weapon carrying machine!

However, it also proved that Black Bear was really strong, strong enough to carry so many things around every day and live to the present. Someone with not enough strength could not sustain it for long.

Duo Kang’s eyes brightened at the variety of objects before him. There were not just a few good things there. Whether big or small, they could exchange a lot with the thirty skins they had. Duo Kang’s heart was full of anticipation.

When the deal was completed, the rest of the surrounding people also shouted out to make trades. Five, ten skins, they’d buy since Black Bear was already there first to trade. They would not doubt the quality of these skins taken out by the people of the Flaming Horns tribe now.

Everyone knew that the stuff Black Bear would buy wouldn’t be bad. Even if they didn’t know the Flaming Horn tribe, following Black Bear would definitely be right!

They were not as generous as Black Bear, but with the number of people buying, Duo Kang was more than happy. However, these people also wanted the stone carving but it was already bought.

After a day was done, the animal skins they had sold out was nearly half of what they brought, which made Du Kang very happy. In the next five days, they may not be able to sell so much, but today, they had unexpectedly gotten a lot of sales, all because of Shao Xuan.

If it went according to this speed, it won’t take them ten days to finish and return.

In the evening, they huddled in a set of simple tents to rest. Shao Xuan took the time to carve a stone again, but this time not of a giant bear, but another kind of fierce beast.

For the next two days, Shao Xuan would take out a stone carving every day. Like the first day, it would encourage the crowd to buy more, which also interested them in wanting to buy animal skins. The carving drew a lot of attention. Although many people couldn’t buy dozens of skins at once, they would still look around the Flaming Horns tribe’s area because of that stone carving. A large number of the animal skins were exchanged because of the stone carving. There were traders buying, but the slave owners also sent their people to buy.

On the fifth day, the animal skins brought by the tribe were almost sold out. They didn’t have to keep staring at the goods for long as they could exchange it for copper weapons or grains or such soon. Each of them would get their own. Meanwhile, the Taihe tribe had come with high expectations this time. They’d brought over some of their rarer herbs so they could sell things much faster than before, but no one expected that the Flaming Horn tribe would have Shao Xuan!

There were not many animal skins left, so Shao Xuan stopped his carving. Seeing that the Flaming Horns did not have much stuff to sell anymore, he decided it was time to get his own stones out. For this reason, he had asked for help to watch over it yesterday so that these stones could shine all day under the sun. Now, when they were placed in a slightly darker place, you can see the obvious light on the stones.

These days, more and more tribesmen had come to Anba City, dominating the place with their yelling and quarrelling voices, all fighting to outshout each other. From time to time, you’d see people injured from actual fights.

Shao Xuan would not shout to join these voices. Instead, he made a wooden card with words written in bright plant pigments—”A unique glowing stone that will absorb sunlight—Water Sun Stone.”

The crystal of the Drumming tribe produced from the light of the moon was called the Water Moon Stone. Therefore, Shao Xuan changed moon to sun with this stone that absorbs sunlight.

The wooden signboard was propped up with a long pole inserted on the ground. Shao Xuan did not have to yell to wait for people to come to his area. The wooden sign Shao Xuan made could turn to let people see it in all directions so everyone could see the words on the wooden board.

New things could always attract attention. Just now, when the other tribes were finally relaxed that the Flaming Horns tribe were almost out of animal skins, nobody expected that people would flock around them again in such a short time.
