The Stonehorn tribe is especially severe in winter, and their orcs can even survive by gnawing on grass and tree roots.
If the Shuilin tribe fails to save enough food during the autumn hunt, there will really be nothing they can do.
So when the roaming orcs attacked their tribe during the autumn hunt, they felt that their tribe might not survive the winter and was in danger of complete extinction, so they ran to the Qingshan tribe for help.
The hippopotamus orcs in their tribe who do not sleep in winter are very afraid of the cold. Their fighting power drops sharply when winter comes, so in the end only the otter orcs in the entire tribe can move freely.
But if there is a way to ensure that snake orcs, crocodile orcs and lizard orcs can stay in warm houses to maintain their body temperature during the winter, then they can move freely in the ice and snow for three days.
When their body temperature gradually drops to a level that can no longer support their continued activities, they need to immediately return to a warm place to recharge, which takes six days.
So when he brought back charcoal to use in his own tribe, he and Jia immediately discovered the benefits of charcoal to them.
It is particularly resistant to burning, has stable temperature, no smoke, and no open flame, which is really suitable for them.
Knowing the difficulties of the Shuilin tribe, Xia agreed to the deal immediately.
Ever since Meng Yuqing told them how to make charcoal, the tribe has never stopped making charcoal, so they have indeed stockpiled a lot of charcoal.
It’s completely enough to trade with the Shuilin Tribe, just enough to clear out a wave of warehouses.
"How much charcoal does your entire tribe need in total?" Xia Wenhe.
"One of us orcs needs this much for the whole winter." He gestured with his hand to indicate a rough range.
When they brought the charcoal back, they experimented with how much charcoal was needed to burn a house in a day, and in order to save charcoal they also planned to build several large houses to serve as greenhouses.
Everyone can go there during the day, and orcs without partners can stay there at night and not go home.
Seeing He's gesture, Xia recalled how many people there were in the Shuilin tribe and roughly knew how much charcoal they needed.
It just so happened that the tribe had enough charcoal to exchange for them.
After deciding on the transaction quantity, Xia and Xuan began to count the items brought by the Shuilin tribe.
The rarest thing among them is the bead on the head of the glimmering beast. Just like the name of this beast, this bead emits a faint light, not as bright as the yellow light stone, but a very soft light that will never go out.
The Shuilin tribe brought few beads, only three in total.
The white-thorned beast bone is a complete skeleton.
The bones of this beast are also very special, very light and soft, but very sharp.
Together with the snake skins and crocodile teeth they brought with them, Xia and Xuan felt that these things were enough.
Just as the two of them finished counting everything, He spoke again, "Did you and the Stonehorn Tribe work together to repel the Graystone Tribe that came to cause trouble for the Stonehorn Tribe?"
Hearing his question, Xia and Xuan looked at each other and said, "Yes, they were bullied by the Graystone Tribe at the market, and they were chased for revenge after they left the market."
"I know. I saw them chase out, and then I saw them come back, and there were still many people missing." He glanced at Xia. He didn't think that relying solely on the Stone Horn Tribe could reduce the number of people in the Gray Rock Tribe. The only one who would help the Stone Horn Tribe and had the ability to do so was the Green Mountain Tribe.
"We were there when they had the conflict and saw it all," He continued.
This surprised Xuan a little, "You guys are here too?"
Xia, on the other hand, looked calm.
"Looking at the stalls nearby." He said casually, "Why else would the people from the Rolling Stone Tribe come so quickly? If no one went to look for them, they might have to wait until something bad happened before they came."
"Fortunately, you were here, otherwise the Shijiao tribe would have suffered a great loss." Xia sighed. The people of the Shijiao tribe were the gentlest among the three tribes, but also the most straightforward.
"What tribe with fewer than a thousand people wouldn't bother them?" He waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face, his tone full of disdain for the Graystone Tribe. "If they have the guts, go and find trouble with a tribe with a similar number of people."
Although He said it nonchalantly, Xia knew that since they were able to call the people from the Rolling Stone Tribe so quickly, He and his men must have sent something as a gift.
Otherwise, with so many tribes in the market, there's no telling how many small and big conflicts there are every day, and they can't handle it all. If the fight isn't serious, then don't tell them.
Moreover, the Water Forest Tribe had also been in trouble with the Gray Rock Tribe.
It was also He who led the team that time. The Gray Rock Tribe insisted on exchanging useless plants for the snake skins shed by the Water Forest Tribe.
At that moment, He transformed into a beast and stood in front of the stall, staring intently at the people of the Graystone Tribe. "We have over 300 orcs in our tribe who can dive into the water and catch large beasts. We may not be many, but if you want to force us to exchange our goods, then your tribe should be prepared to stay away from water for the rest of their lives."
The Graystone Tribe stood at the door of their stall and watched He for a long time, making sure that He was not joking and that the orcs he brought were very strong. Finally, they left unwillingly. Which tribe does not have a water source? If they were really forced to have difficulty using water, the tribe would have no choice but to relocate.
The Shuilin tribe was also lucky. That year, the Blue Water tribe came to the market. After leaving the Gray Rock tribe, He took a snake skin and ran to find the Blue Water tribe. After getting the permission of the Blue Water tribe, He led his people to leave through the ditch of the Blue Water tribe.
If the Blue Water Tribe was not there that year, the people of the three major tribes would not allow them to get close to the ditch. They could only send things, and definitely more than what they gave to the Blue Water Tribe.
"But they won't have an easy time after returning to the market." He collected his thoughts and said with a raised lip corner.
"Did anything else happen?" Xuan asked with interest.
"We kept an eye on the Stonehorn Tribe after they left. When we saw them chasing them away, we secretly spread the news in the market that they had taken most of their people away."
He chuckled, "Many tribes that were bullied by them in the past and now have over a thousand people have come to cause trouble for them. There are also several tribes that are about the same size as ours that have taken advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. We all fight them directly, and once we start fighting, they demand that we hand over things to the three major tribes. The Limestone Tribe has basically handed over everything."
The Graystone Tribe also knew that their tribe was very disliked and was afraid of being troubled by other tribes, so they only sent eighty or ninety orcs to the market every time. For other tribes, sending forty people was considered a lot.
It’s not the first time they’ve sent a large group of people away from the market to ambush small tribes that rebelled against them.
But they left quietly, and everyone in the market was busy exchanging things, so no one noticed that they were missing.
After the Shuilin tribe spread the news behind the scenes, many tribes immediately went to seek revenge.
