Chapter 183 Same Price
Hearing Hu Yuan's words, Hu Bing rolled his eyes thoughtfully, "If I were to go and make an exchange with them, would they be willing?"
Tiger Kite thought for a moment, "It should be okay, the baskets aren't expensive to trade, one piece of beast meat can be exchanged for five baskets!"
In his opinion, it was an incredibly reasonable price.
Hu Bing considered it for a moment and decided that it would be acceptable for Lin Baiyan to raise the price for them, since he had already seen the great benefits of the basket. With the basket, the tribesmen could travel much more easily.
Not only this basket, but also the cart they had just pulled—it could hold so many supplies, and a single orc could pull it. This was incredibly attractive to Fox Ice.
After the beastmen unloaded their belongings, the male beastmen discussed the matter and decided to leave Fox Tail and thirty male beastmen behind to establish a temporary territory, while the rest of them went out with Tiger Yang and Wolf Cang to hunt and find water.
The Azure Flame Tribe left only Xiong Fei and Bao Lu to guard the area. Although they were traveling together, the three tribes still shared their food separately. Xiong Fei and Bao Lu went with the other two tribes' orcs to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain and gather firewood.
Hu Qing had already skillfully taken the stone pot off the cart. Several sub-orcs helped him set up the pot, and then they methodically lit a fire, waiting for the male orcs to return so they could start cooking.
After the stone pot was lit, the few sub-orcs planned to dig up another batch of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. They had just arrived when they saw that the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest had already sprouted.
Although the bamboo shoots are old now, the beastmen have strong teeth and can easily chew and swallow them, so they don't have to use up the dried bamboo shoots they brought.
"Priest, may we go to the bamboo forest to dig for bamboo shoots?" When traveling, it's always good to let Lin Baiyan know beforehand if you need to do anything.
Lin Baiyan glanced at the bamboo forest not far away, only a few steps away, about twenty or thirty meters away. "It's okay, but don't go too far."
The beastmen happily agreed and, carrying their baskets, plunged into the bamboo forest.
At this moment, Hu Bing slowly approached Lin Baiyan and asked, "What are you drawing?"
Lin Baiyan was startled by the voice behind him. He drew a line on the map with his charcoal pencil.
Fox Ice took a few steps forward and squatted down next to Lin Baiyan, looking at the charcoal pencil in Lin Baiyan's hand with some curiosity.
"Why is this all dark?"
Lin Baiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Hu Bing. "This is called a charcoal pencil. It can leave marks on thin animal hides without damaging them. It's very useful."
"So what are you drawing?"
"I'm drawing a map of the route we've taken. When we get back, we'll be able to find our tribe using the map," Lin Baiyan explained gently.
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan's words, Hu Bing glanced thoughtfully at the "map" in his hand.
It was another thing he had never seen before. Could he find his way home by following this map?
"This Azure Flame Tribe is truly a magical tribe," Hu Bing thought to himself. "They have carts, baskets, and now they even have this thing called a map."
Fox Ice's curiosity about the Azure Flame Tribe reached its peak at this moment.
However, he did not forget the purpose of his visit: "I saw the baskets that Hu Yuan and the others were carrying; they are very useful."
"Could our tribe also make an exchange with you?" Fox Ice looked intently at Lin Baiyan.
He didn't mention that he wanted to exchange carts. It was obvious that the Azure Flame Tribe and the Silver Tiger Tribe only brought four carts with them on this trip, so the chances of them being willing to trade were slim.
Perhaps he could wait until the market closes and he returns to his tribe before bringing up the idea of exchanging goods.
"You want some too?" Lin Baiyan didn't expect that they would receive their first business before even arriving at the trading tribe.
Fox Ice nodded lazily, "If there's something that can save energy, a fool wouldn't want it."
"So? Can we do this deal?" Hu Bing asked Lin Baiyan with a smile.
Of course we can do it!
They brought a full five hundred baskets with them this time, filling an entire cart. Of course, the baskets on the cart were also stuffed with their supplies, since they didn't bring many carts and couldn't waste any usable space.
Lin Baiyan was overjoyed, and said to Hu Bing with a smile, "Of course, I won't cheat you. Just like the Silver Tiger Clan, five baskets and one piece of beast meat, how about it?"
Lin Baiyan set the price because the Silver Tiger Clan were their neighbors, and he didn't want to cheat them. Now that the Silver Fox Clan is willing to take them to find trading tribes, he feels embarrassed to cheat them again.
Fox Ice didn't expect that Lin Baiyan would offer them the same price as those big tigers, after all, they had only known each other for a day, with the Silver Tiger Clan as the intermediary.
Lin Baiyan blinked. "If the Silver Tiger Clan believes in a tribe, of course I believe in it too!"
Fox Ice hadn't expected Lin Baiyan to be so sincere. He looked at this naive sub-beastman with amusement; he really was...
As expected, they are a tribe that can get along well with the Silver Tiger Clan; their innocence seems to be inherited from the same lineage.
The naive sub-beastman Bai Bai: "Meow meow meow?"
Since Lin Baiyan was so sincere, there was no point in Hu Bing being coy anymore, so he simply accepted Lin Baiyan's price openly.
"Then I thank you on behalf of the Silver Fox Clan. You've saved us a lot of effort."
"Change two hundred of them first!"
Carrying a basket on your back is always easier than pulling an animal skin.
"Oh, no need to thank me." Lin Baiyan waved his hand.
Fox Ice's fox-like eyes were fixed on the little sub-beastman in front of him. At this moment, he finally let down his guard and sincerely wanted to make friends with Lin Baiyan.
A slight smile played on his lips, and a faint warmth welled up in his eyes. "Little Asian beastman, I find you rather pleasing to the eye. How about we become friends?"
Lin Baiyan glanced at him, then said with a smile, "Okay, okay."
Fox Ice is so good-looking, it's definitely worth being friends with him.
So the passing silver fox beastmen witnessed a very strange scene: their priest was nestled next to the priest of the Azure Flame Tribe.
The young priest was writing furiously while exchanging a few words with his priest every now and then, while the priest sat lazily, responding to every word and occasionally ruffling his silver hair.
This greatly surprised the Silver Fox Clan beastmen. They knew that although their priests seemed lazy, they were always aloof and indifferent in front of outsiders, looking down on everyone as if they were trash.
But now, isn't it that the way they look when they get up is a bit off?
