Chapter 713 - The Birds We Need (2/2)

But they didn’t dwell on this topic for too long. The young men started to complain about why they couldn’t use feathers as a currency in the Flaming River Trading Point. They didn’t accept feathers.

Why couldn’t they accept feathers as a currency? Those were beautiful and rare feathers! Weren’t they precious? Why didn’t they like it?

The Feather tribesmen had been unhappy about this. At least in their tribe, using feathers to exchange for other goods was not uncommon. However, this method wasn’t accepted in different tribes. It was clear not everyone adored birds as they did.

In the Feather tribe, promotions, weddings, and other essential occasions all involved feathers. They could be used as ornaments and also as currency. One other reason why they tamed birds was that they needed their feathers. The Feather tribesmen all wanted beautiful feathers. Not only could the birds in their tribe perform particular tasks, but most of them also had beautiful feathers. The beautiful feathers were enough to make all of them happy.

Unfortunately, other tribes weren’t interested in this at all. No matter what the Feather tribesmen did, no matter how hard they tried to promote their feathers, they never succeeded.

However, if Shao Xuan were here, he would recommend using this method on the slave masters on the other side of the sea, especially those people who called themselves aristocrats. Those people loved these beautiful and rare goods. Even though they couldn’t succeed here, they still had a chance to succeed on the other side of the sea.

On the mountain, Gui He, Shao Xuan and the Feather tribesmen were discussing their plan in the forest.

This time, Shao Xuan didn’t need to go with them. Ta was just about to lead a group out for a hunt, so he was left in charge. Of course, they wouldn’t bring the Feather tribesmen onto all of their hunting trails. They would just choose a path with the most birds and bring them there.

The more beautiful the birds, the less interested the Flaming Horns were. Being small and without much meat, they would never take a second glance at these birds. However, these birds attracted the people from the Feather tribe, and they wanted to capture a lot of them back to tame and replenish their livestock.

At the same time, the Feather tribe also promised to find some bird species that weren’t too big or fierce for the Flaming Horns. If these birds fought in their tribe, could they still live in peace?

They also didn’t need any birds like Cha Cha. The Flaming Horns could not handle another giant mountain eagle. The snow falcon, on the other hand, was something that they desired but they also couldn’t have too many of them.

The bird species they needed were ones that were vigilant, strong and smart. If they were too weak, too slow, or too hyperactive, the Flaming Horns wouldn’t want them.

The Feather tribe usually danced with their birds every day. Ta heard about this, and he knew they didn’t need birds like these. Who would have the time to dance with birds?

The Flaming Horns didn’t care about the bird’s appearance or chirping sounds. As long as they met their qualifications, even if they looked like a frog, the Flaming Horns would still keep them.

The Flaming Horns had quite a lot of requests, but since the Feather tribesmen promised to help them look for their bird species, they would keep their promise, unless they really couldn’t find any that qualified.

After they finished discussing, Ta led the hunting team and the Feather tribesmen into the forest.

Twenty days later.

Shao Xuan was extracting blood from the green-faced fanged beasts. These beasts had fattened from eating and seemed to have adapted to their life of eating and sleeping. They even appeared unhappy when they were let out to play.

A Flaming Horn warrior rushed over.

“Grand Elder, the chief sent for you. Hunt Leader Ta and the others are back!”

They are?

Shao Xuan extracted blood from the rest of the beasts and delivered the blood to the forge. Then, he headed to the residential area.

He wondered what sort of birds they brought back.
