Although the Scaled Tribe is not as big as the Blue Water Tribe, it is also a large tribe in the sea, so they have no shortage of food, let alone meat.
So Meng Yuqing did not exchange the dried meat commonly found on the road with them, but instead took out cloth, sauces, and sweet potato flour and potato flour that were only available in Qingshan City.
The swordfish orcs were very satisfied to see these things. These were what their tribe liked. The people of Qingshan City were really sincere.
After the transaction was completed, the swordfish orc seemed to remember something and asked again, "I had a bowl of noodles at your tribe's stall at the market last time. I think there was a side dish called something, it was crispy, a little sour, and a little spicy. Do you have any of that?"
Meng Yuqing thought for a moment, then pulled out two ugly porcelain jars and asked, "Do you mean pickled radish or pickled radish strips?"
As the lids on the jars were opened, all the people from the Scaled Armor Tribe around them sniffed, their eyes lit up, and they stared at the two jars intently.
"I want them all." The swordfish orc nodded frantically. He fell in love with this food after eating it once. He also changed a lot at that time, but this food was really popular. By the time they found out, the market was almost over and the Qingshan City Haicheng branch just didn't have much stock left.
If we transport it from the city again, we won’t be able to catch up in time.
After he exchanged the remaining four jars in the branch, he went to the stalls of other tribes to see if anyone else was willing to exchange them. He had heard that many tribes working in Qingshan City would also give out part of their goods to exchange for goods from other tribes.
He was lucky enough to exchange for six more jars, but the ten jars he brought back were not enough for the people of the Scaled Armor Tribe to eat.
"So are you going to use something to pack it yourself or exchange the jar as well?" Meng Yuqing asked.
It is more expensive to exchange the jar together, but other tribes have found substitutes.
A very smooth stone vessel can be made into the shape of a pickle jar and sealed with water to isolate it from the air.
Their tribe in the sea is even less troublesome, because the large shells are waterproof. Just fill them up and put them directly in the water to isolate the air.
However, a large tribe like the Scaled Armor Tribe didn't care about this. The Sailfish Orc waved his hand and said, "Exchange the jar as well."
So Meng Yuqing and Xuan Space had a total of fourteen jars of sour radishes, sixteen jars of pickled radish strips, a total of thirty jars, all of which were drained by the Scaled Armor Tribe.
This time the transaction was really completed. The Scaled Armor Tribe invited two people from the Blue Water Tribe and three people from Qingshan City to rest for a night.
The sailfish orc also gave Meng Yuqing a small basket of breathing grass. "It's still early, you can go play in the sea. We have many orcs near the island, so don't worry about any powerful beasts. There are many beautiful small beasts."
Meng Yuqing held the small basket of breathing grass and felt excited.
"Xuan, Lian, let's go play under the sea?" He looked at Xuan and Lian excitedly.
Since Meng Yuqing said so, Xuan naturally would not refuse, and Lian had long wanted to go into the sea to play.
The three of them walked towards the beach excitedly. When the sea water reached their calves, Meng Yuqing gave Xuan Helian and Lian each a piece of breathing grass.
A piece of breathing grass is not small, as long as your forearm and as wide as two fingers.
Meng Yuqing rolled up the breathing grass and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good, a little sweet.
After eating the breathing grass, he tried to put his head into the water. At first, he subconsciously held his breath.
When he was feeling a little uncomfortable, he suddenly remembered that he had eaten breathing grass.
Then, after preparing himself mentally for a while, he tried to breathe in gently.
Xuan Helian stood beside him and watched nervously. Suddenly, Meng Yuqing stood up straight, which scared Xuan Helian at the same time.
"Yuqing?" Xuan stretched out his arms and embraced Meng Yuqing and called out.
"Fuck! It really works! And my eyes are not afraid of water anymore!" Meng Yuqing exclaimed.
Although he could swim before, he couldn't open his eyes underwater because it was too uncomfortable. So he was always curious about how those who could open their eyes underwater did it.
"You two should try it too!" Meng Yuqing urged.
Before Xuan could move, Lian couldn't wait to stuff the breathing grass into his mouth.
Seeing this, Xuan also ate one, then changed into beast form and said, "I'll try it in beast form."
Meng Yuqing nodded frantically, "Yeah."
Xuan walked towards the deeper part and soon sank into the sea.
After a while, he poked his head out of the water again, his tone also filled with excitement. "The same goes for the beast form! Come on, everyone."
Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing and Lian cheered at the same time and ran towards Xuan. However, as Lian ran, he turned into a beast shape and spread his wings to float on the water, while as Meng Yuqing ran, he was completely submerged by the sea.
When Xuan saw that Meng Yuqing was missing, he quickly dived into the water to look for her.
Because Meng Yuqing was hiding in a relatively shallow area, Xuan swam for a while and found that the beast was too big and he couldn't swim through. So he landed on the ground and ran halfway through.
Thinking that he was going to experience life in the water, Xuan directly changed into human form, and then swam towards Meng Yuqing, who was dancing his hands and feet, like a nimble little fish.
It was not until he held Meng Yuqing's hand that Meng Yuqing stopped moving around.
Xuan brought him to the surface and asked with some confusion, "Didn't you say you can swim?"
Meng Yuqing hung on Xuan's body and curled her lips. "Yes, I can swim, but I've never dived. When we swim, we keep our heads above the water. I was so excited that I didn't even go underwater just now."
His swimming skills were average. Normally, he would just swim for a while in the swimming pool. After coming to the Beast World, he had fewer opportunities to swim, so his already weak skills became even worse.
Xuan smiled softly for a while, rubbed Meng Yuqing's head, and said, "I'll hold your hand."
"Okay!" Meng Yuqing agreed decisively.
The two of them dived into the sea again, but with Xuan holding them, Meng Yuqing was no longer so panicked.
Leopards in the modern world are good swimmers and can also dive. They even go to the river to catch crocodiles to eat. Although they are usually crocodiles that are more than one meter but less than two meters long, it is enough to prove the leopard's swimming and diving skills.
Therefore, as a black panther that is a genetic mutation of a leopard, its swimming skills are naturally excellent.
In addition, he can now breathe underwater, and his underwater combat power has increased exponentially.
Xuan pulled Meng Yuqing and swam towards a deeper place. It seemed that it was because they had eaten the breathing grass. Normally, the pressure of the water at this depth would be enough to make ordinary people feel very oppressive, but Meng Yuqing didn't feel much.
He tugged at Xuan's arm and pointed deeper.
