"Ahem, the two travelers, do you need more crows? Our village is not far away, and there are still many dried crows there. We can exchange them with you."
The two guys received the food from Jiang Li, but they wanted to thank that Mingshan Grandma for the gift.
Moreover, Jiang Li wanted a living dead crow, what was the point of giving him a dead crow? And until now, they still believed that Jiang was also a four-handed person like them, with twins in one body.
When Jiang Li was speechless, the four brothers in front of him started arguing again.
"Eh? Brother, doesn't it take us ten days to get to the village? That's not too far, is it?"
The younger brother who had already moved to the lower position asked a soul-searching question, which made the enthusiastic older brother look a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Shut up, you idiot."
"Haha, gentlemen travelers, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm called Shangshu, and this is my brother Xiashu."
"Our village is the most hospitable four-handed village in this area. We will definitely satisfy you."
The brother named Shangshu tried his best to invite Jiang Li to follow them back to the village.
Obviously, the transaction just now made them very excited.
When trading with Jiang Li, one pound of unpalatable meat can be exchanged for one hundred pounds of delicious meat. Such a bargain is even more unbelievable than pie falling from the sky.
Moreover, the traveler who had completed the transaction did not show any sign of regretting it.
Such a "fat sheep" might not be found for hundreds of years, so they are naturally unprofessional and would not give up easily. They still want to continue to take advantage of Jiang Li.
The two sides viewed their interests from different perspectives, so Jiang Li naturally had no complaints. The benefits he gained from this transaction were more than a hundred times greater.
Moreover, we finally met a human group here with whom we could communicate.
It would probably be much more efficient for him to get some information from these local thugs than to wander around on his own.
"Just call me Jiang Li. I do have a lot of that kind of meat, and I'm willing to continue trading with you."
"Also, I'm looking for the Shady Mountain. Have you ever heard of it?"
Jiang Li still didn't introduce his "brother" to them. After casually agreeing to continue the transaction, he asked about the location of Beiyin Mountain.
He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect to actually gain something.
"Beiyin Mountain? Mr. Jiang Li, are you also going to pay homage to the Grandmother of Mingshan Mountain?"
The people up and down the trees had not only heard of the name of Beiyin Mountain, but also seemed to be very familiar with it.
After mistakenly thinking that Jiang Li shared the same beliefs as them, they began to talk to each other in a much more intimate manner.
"Did Grandma Mingshan also protect Mr. Traveler's village?"
"Our village is right next to Beiyin Mountain. When we return, we will prepare to participate in the ceremony of the Grandmother of Mingshan Mountain."
"Mr. Jiang Li and your brother can join us."
The other party invited Jiang Li again enthusiastically, and this time he had a reason that he couldn't refuse.
Mingshan Grandma, this is a word Jiang Li has never heard of. I think it should be the name of a powerful monster or a sneaky one.
There are no tigers in the mountains now, and no one knows who has occupied the Shady Mountain full of evil spirits.
With the two sea beasts that Jiang Li traded to them, Shangshu and Xiashu had already completed the hunting goals of this trip.
Pushing a small one-wheeled cart, they had to carry the sea beasts, which weighed tens of thousands of pounds in total, back to the village.
But the crude wooden cart swayed and creaked with every step, and it looked like it would fall apart at any moment. Its speed was extremely touching.
As we all know, in places with strong yin energy, meat is usually not easy to rot, but it is easy to turn into zombie-like dead meat.
For ordinary humans, this might be more terrible than corruption. But for the tenacious four-handed people, the rigid meat is probably just like bacon, with a unique flavor.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the meat of sea animals spoiling during transportation when loading and unloading the trees.
As long as they transported the meat back to the village, they could marry a wife and live a carefree life for several years.
But this slow pace made Jiang Li, who was following beside him, very dissatisfied.
At this snail's pace, by the time they bring Jiang Li to find the place, Prince Blood might have already successfully restored the country.
I have no choice but to help them again.
He stretched out his hand and cast a little magic, and a ghostly light of one point nine enveloped their wooden cart.
The dead tree has spring again. This cart that has been used for twenty years has been transformed by Jiang Li into a wooden monster that can carry things on all fours.
The Cheli Wood Demon carried the trees and two sea beasts and ran forward easily.
While Jiang Li was following the Cheli Wood Demon, his eyes were also scanning the surroundings, taking in everything he saw along the way.
When the four-handed brothers sitting on the Cheli Wooden Demon came back to their senses from the magic of the magic, they saw Jiang Li's figure flashing rapidly around them.
From time to time, I would pick up a few ordinary stones and pull out a few inedible weeds.
They both thought that this traveler who came from nowhere had magical abilities and a lot of food, but his hobby of picking up garbage was really hard for them to understand.
But in fact, the isolated Four-Handed Clan were just the laboring people among the human race, and did not inherit the advanced pharmacology of Astragalus and the art of alchemy.
Therefore, they do not understand the benefits of cherishing natural resources and treasures. They are like sitting in a well and looking down on the world.
However, this also made them think more actively.
These useless things are everywhere. If they can exchange them for food, wouldn’t they make a lot of money!
With the help of the Cheli Wood Demon, the journey that originally took ten days was completed in less than two days.
Under the guidance of the four-handed brothers, Jiang Li soon saw a small village with only about a hundred households in the distance.
At this moment, what attracted Jiang Li's attention more was a huge mountain range in the distance behind the small village. It had a strange shape and was mostly covered by black and deadly fog.
So, is that Beiyin Mountain?
. . . .
That village was different from the backward mortal villages that Jiang Li usually saw.
Although the area is small and there are not many houses, each house is built with smooth and polished stones.
Every bit of carving on it is exquisite and careful, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it.
When he got closer, he could already hear heavy breathing.
In the village, everyone from the elderly to the children was busy working. From time to time, someone would walk around leisurely, holding a stone several people high.
As four-handed people of the Laomin clan, they are born with abundant energy and physical strength.
He is the type of person who can't stop working all day long. If he has nothing to do, he will even tear down his house and rebuild it.
At this time, they were building a huge temple that was as big as a palace. All the villagers were mobilized, and the progress was amazingly fast.
The arrival of the Cheli Wood Demon quickly attracted the attention of other busy four-handed people in the village.
At first they thought it was a monster attack, so everyone rushed out with weapons in hand. The weapons were shining with cold light, and it was obvious that none of them were ordinary items.
The Laomin clan members also had no talent or inheritance for refining weapons. These weapons and swords were simply shaped by forging iron like ordinary people, and there were no runes or spiritual engravings on them.
However, due to their amazing endurance and desire to work, heavy work like blacksmithing is actually a limited outlet for their energy.
So much so that the weapons in their hands only use earthly techniques.
But any weapon in the mortal world that has been forged a hundred times can be considered a divine weapon of the time, and it requires a craftsman's life's work.
The weapons in the hands of these four-handed people are all more than ten thousand forged.
In addition, the ore produced in the underworld fragments is of excellent quality. They used the most ordinary techniques to make weapons that are comparable to spiritual weapons and magic treasures.
"Wait! Wait! Village chief, it's us!"
The Cheli Wood Monster went up the tree and greeted the villagers below, stopping their reckless waving of swords.

After dragging the two sea beasts and explaining the situation to them, the villagers immediately laid down their weapons and warmly entertained Jiang Li.
Leader Jiang was brought to the home of the chief of the Four-Handed Village and was invited to eat their best food, the eyeballs of dead crows.
It is said that the eyeballs of crows have the power to see death, and eating their eyeballs can avoid death to a certain extent.
Of course, Jiang Li, who pinched his nose and ate the eyeball, can say responsibly that this is just a rumor!
He didn't even show any useful buff status.
Instead, there is an additional negative status called [Gastrointestinal Discomfort].
Even with Jiang Li's resistance, he still had some stomach discomfort. However, this group of four-handed people could use it for a long time. Their tenacity was truly amazing.
Then, a long line formed in front of the village chief's house.
The four-handed people came with various things to exchange for sea beast meat with Jiang Li.
Various handmade pots and pans, previously captured underworld creatures, and beautiful stones that children picked up on the roadside.
Jiang Li accepted almost everyone who came to him. Based on the results given by the identification technique, he generously gave them chunks of meat, more or less.
The villagers gradually discovered that the traveler seemed to be particularly interested in the animal bones and the cold and useless stones that were everywhere in the wilderness.
So while Jiang Li had not left yet, they took spontaneous action and began a large-scale search in the nearby area.
Some clever four-handed people even acted as his middlemen.
Use a smaller amount of sea beast meat to go to other four-handed villages to exchange for more things, and then exchange them in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's arrival made this village of a few hundred people visibly prosperous in a short period of time.
The doors of every household were filled with dried meat strips, which were enough for them to raise more offspring and expand their village.
With their work efficiency, various specialties from the underworld soon piled up into a small mountain in his coffin.
But even in this situation, they still did not give up building the temple.
With the completion of the temple, the day for their ceremony to worship the Goddess of the Underworld Mountain had also arrived.
The dozen or so Four-Handed People villages around began to move in groups towards the distant mountains.
People from several surrounding four-handed villages gathered together quietly, and seemed to be discussing secretly how to get Jiang Li, the living meat-shaking tree, to their village.
Soon, a team of thousands of people arrived at a clear border.
They did not cross the border, placed offerings, and began to worship in the direction of the mountain.
Jiang Li noticed that on this side of the border, it was still a flat stone plain, but on the other side it was covered with densely packed sharp stalagmites.
He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it across the line, but the imagined parabola did not appear.
This ordinary stone, which had not been infused with any spiritual energy by him, was flying higher and higher against common sense.
It drew an arc in the opposite direction, and finally plunged into the black fog that always covered the sky, and was thrown into the void for an unknown distance.
Jiang Li was very familiar with this kind of power. It was the domain anyway! However, at least in this area on the ground spike stalagmite, the rules of the domain were not completely reversed.
In the area of stone thorns in front of us, only up and down were reversed, up was down, and down was up.
As soon as you step into it, it is not as simple as stepping on stalagmites. Instead, the heaven and earth are turned upside down, and people need to grab the stalagmites that are small at the top and big at the bottom and are extremely difficult to grasp, and hang on to move forward.
Once you fail, you will fall into the sea of despair and fog, and finally fall into the void, where you will die in loneliness.
"The Yin Mountain is a place of pure yin without yang. It has many bumps and depressions and is even more rugged. Therefore, no grass grows on the mountain, no peaks reach the sky, no visitors walk on the ridge, no caves receive clouds, and no streams flow."
The so-called "peaks not reaching the sky" refers to this.
From the outside, it is undoubtedly a big mountain.
But after entering it, in people's eyes, it is a mountain hanging upside down on the ground, pointing downwards.
At this moment, thousands of four-handed people had completed the first step of the ceremony.
Then, people of different ages from each village stood up.
They ate the prepared food in front of everyone.
Then he tied waterproof leather bags around his waist and walked towards the dangerous stalagmite area.
The climbing and descending trees that we saw before are also in it.
This is one of the most important processes in the Four-Handed Man Ceremony.
The oil in their leather bags is extracted from living creatures.
This is a very precious food, but at this time, these young people have to cross the dangerous inverted stalagmite area and throw the fat into a brazier at the foot of the mountain.
The young man from whichever village lights the brazier first will become the leader of all the Four-Handed people before the brazier on the altar goes out.
This naturally makes the young people of the Four-Handed Clan very yearning for it.
Soon, a pair of young brothers from the Four-Handed Clan took the lead.
The hands below tentatively grasped the stalagmite in front of him. After confirming that he had a firm grip, he began to swing forward step by step.
The other young people were not willing to lose. Some of them grabbed with four hands at the same time, while others took turns to move forward repeatedly.
The young people showed off their talents.
At this time, Jiang Li, as a bystander, also stepped into the stalagmite area in front.
