Not only the older female primitive people were surprised, but the rest of the people in her tribe who understood the meaning were also surprised.

Shouldn't such a huge and comfortable cave have grown out of the ground itself?

How could humans build such a huge cave?

The impact of these words was much greater than if these strange people suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.

Mao thought they didn't understand, so he scratched his head and continued to express himself in different ways, which was quite brain-racking.

Mao felt that this group of primitive people from outside were the most difficult to communicate with among those he had encountered in recent years.

After expressing it in various ways for a while, until they were all sweating from exhaustion, the older female primitive finally came to their senses from the extreme shock and began to respond.

Guided by Mao, after the two communicated for a while, Han Cheng and his people roughly understood how these people discovered this place and lived here.

Han Cheng nodded secretly. This was not much different from what he had imagined.

After knowing this, Han Cheng asked some people to go into the slave cabin, take out the two pottery jars and the gourd containing salt soil, and asked Mao to ask them about the pottery jars and the salt soil, which was what Han Cheng was most concerned about.

Seeing that the extremely precious pottery that their tribe had spent a lot of food to exchange from those people was just picked up casually by these people with one hand and placed on the ground without any care, everyone, including the older female primitive people, felt very distressed.

Especially when they saw the delicious and extremely precious white stuff being casually poured into their hands by that person, these people felt their hearts twitching.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't defeat them and these people were holding weapons made of relatively dazzling things, the older female primitives would definitely jump up and have a fierce fight with these guys to let them know how precious these things are.

"#￥￥..."

The older female primitive, who was twitching with heartache, looked at the two pottery jars that were blackened by smoke and fire and the gourd in Mao's hand for a while, and began to tell Mao about the origins of these two things in her own way.

The precious pottery and delicious white things were exchanged from other tribes, not owned by themselves, so the older female primitives talked about them without any hesitation.

She even racked her brains to express it several times more, fearing that this seemingly strange person in front of her would not understand what she meant.

Of course, another reason for doing this was that she was worried that if she didn't speak nicely enough, these people would snatch away the sorted pottery and delicious food and not return them to them.

Once something like this happened, the older female primitive people dared not imagine what would happen next. It was truly a disaster for them.

"Exchanged from another tribe?"

After hearing what Mao said, Han Cheng couldn't help but mutter something. He found it more and more interesting.

Things in the world never proceed in sync, even between people there are many differences.

As for the differences between countries and regions at the same time, the differences are equally huge.

Even in the more developed future times, when the world is almost becoming a global village, there are still primitive people.

Before Han Cheng traveled through time, he read a news report about an American missionary who wanted to go to an island in the Indian Ocean to convert primitive people, but was then dragged to death by the primitive people with a rope tied around his neck.

In that era, the gap was still so huge. In today's extremely closed information environment, it is not surprising to encounter some more advanced civilizations.

Han Cheng found it interesting and reasonable. After all, from the time he came here until now, he had never encountered any tribe that possessed both salt and pottery, two things that are extremely important for the development of civilization, except for his own tribe and some tribes that obtained these two things through his tribe.

Now, here, he suddenly knew about a tribe that possessed both of these things and was very likely to be able to produce and manufacture these two things just like their tribe. As a person from later generations, he was of course more interested.

Moreover, that tribe already knew how to use these two things to exchange for living materials, which showed that the other party's level of civilization had surpassed all the tribes Han Cheng had encountered so far.

"Ask her if she knows where the tribe is."

After Han Cheng thought about it for a while, he spoke to Mao.

So Mao continued to dance.

Where is that tribe?

After the older female primitive understood the meaning conveyed by Mao, she shook her head.

She and the people in her tribe really didn't know where that tribe was.

When we traded with that tribe, the people from that tribe would bring precious pottery with them.

Sometimes they come once a year, sometimes twice, and sometimes not at all.

Their tribe would only trade with those people when they came to their tribe, exchanging food for their precious pottery and delicious white things.

The people from their own tribe had never been to the tribe that had a large amount of pottery.

This is the same as before with their own tribe, sending out trading teams, bringing salt and pottery to trade with people from other tribes in exchange for furs, food and other things.

After listening to what Mao conveyed, Han Cheng thought so in his heart.

I have gained some new understanding of the situation of that tribe.

Maybe...it could be another situation.

Han Cheng turned his gaze to Mao, who was standing not far from him and acting as an interpreter.

At the beginning, before Mao's tribe encountered the Tengshe tribe, they were middlemen, exchanging pottery, salt and other things from their own tribe, and then trading with other tribes.

In other words, the tribe that is trading with the tribe in front of us may also be a middleman.

If that's the case...

Han Cheng sniffed. The level of civilization of that unknown tribe seemed to be higher than he had expected.

After all, there is a big difference between a tribe trading directly with other tribes and one of the tribes trading with other tribes through a middleman.

Generally speaking, the tribes with middlemen are more developed than those without middlemen.

"Mao, ask them again and see if you can get more information about that tribe."

Han Cheng said to Mao.

At first, Han Cheng thought that the pottery and salt soil in the room were made by the people of the tribe in front of him.

They had the ability to make pottery and knew where salt soil existed.

At that time, his focus was on the salt soil.

I want to see if I can find salt soil resources nearby, and then refine and produce salt here.

After all, in this way, they will have to transport less salt from the main tribe to here in the future, thus reducing the transportation burden.

But as he learned more and more about the situation, Han Cheng's ideas gradually changed, and the focus of his attention shifted from the previous salt soil resources to an unknown tribe that possessed salt soil resources and could also make its own pottery.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, Mao immediately began to convey Han Cheng's meaning to the older female primitive people.

After this exchange, the older female primitives became more familiar with these expressions of trade, so they understood them more and more smoothly.

It didn't take long for the older female primitives to understand the meaning of "mao".

She understood what Mao meant, thought for a moment, then set her eyes on the bronze weapon on the rattan shield held by the person next to Mao, and then began to express her meaning to Mao with gestures.

This time, Han Cheng, who was standing aside, basically understood what the female primitive meant without the help of a translator.

Han Cheng understood what the female primitive meant, and his heart was no longer as calm as it seemed.

He suppressed his thoughts and waited for Mao to finish talking with the older female primitive and translate for him.

After all, the older female primitive just pointed her finger at the rattan shield, and he couldn't tell clearly whether she was referring to the rattan shield or the bronze thorns on the rattan shield.

There is a huge gap between the rattan shield and the bronze thorn.

While Han Cheng was waiting, Mao ended his conversation with the older female primitive and began to summarize and translate to Han Cheng what he had learned from the conversation.

"She said that the tribe had weapons made of bronze. They looked different from our tribe's weapons, but they were also made of the same material."

When Mao's words came out, Han Cheng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The rest of the people in the Qingque tribe, who were holding bronze weapons and surrounding the older female primitives, were also surprised.

Because until now, bronze weapons are the exclusive property of their tribe.

Apart from their own tribe, they had never seen or heard of any other tribe that had weapons made of bronze.

Moreover, they all had a deep understanding of the usefulness of bronze weapons and tools.

If it were not for the Son of God who led his tribe and others to smelt bronze and use the smelted bronze to make various weapons and tools, his tribe would definitely not have developed to its current level.

Not to mention anything else, the tribe’s arable land alone would be at least half less than it is now.

But now, they received news that there was another tribe that also possessed bronze weapons.

How could this not surprise them.

My tribe has bronze tools because it has the Son of God. That unknown tribe also has bronze tools. Could it be...

Could it be that their tribe also has a Son of God who is as smart and wise as their own?

They, who were familiar with the history of the Qingque tribe's rise, had no choice but to think about this.

After learning the news, Han Cheng couldn't help but fall silent.

Compared to everyone else in the tribe, he gained more and thought more from this news.

Coming from later generations, he clearly understood the meaning of bronze.

It is a symbol of a stage in human civilization, a product of getting rid of the Stone Age and taking a step further.

Even though Han Cheng had been mentally prepared for the level of civilization of this unknown tribe, the news he heard at this moment was still far beyond his expectations.

When Han Cheng returned from Jinguan City this year and learned that the Blackrock Tribe possessed meteorite iron that was more useful than bronze, he had never been as excited and emotional as he is now.

Because meteorite iron and bronze represent two completely different messages.

Although meteoric iron is far superior to bronze in various properties, it cannot be made by humans but is produced naturally.

Resources that are not controlled by humans and can be produced artificially.

If a tribe can have all these, it can only be said that their tribe is really lucky, but it doesn’t mean anything.

But bronze is completely different. Bronze is not produced naturally, but only appears after people smelt it.

Its appearance meant that the tribe had mastered the bronze smelting technology.

Regardless of whether the technology is mature or not, this is a qualitative leap!

A tribe that has bronze, pottery, and salt soil is far from being comparable to a tribe that has picked up meteorite iron.

Because bronze represents a kind of civilization.

If you can own these tribes, you will definitely surpass other tribes of the same period.

From stone to bronze, this is truly a qualitative leap.

Even though Han Cheng, who came from the future, understood that the world's development was unbalanced, he still couldn't help feeling complicated after hearing the news here.

It can even be described as vibration.

In this basin surrounded by mountains, there exists a tribe that possesses bronze.

Now, his tribe has come to this basin and is preparing to build a branch tribe here and take root, so the situation is a little delicate.

Generally speaking, nothing good will happen when two civilizations of similar levels meet. When there is contact between the two and there is no third party around, some friction is bound to arise.

For example, the battle between the Yan Emperor's tribe and the Huang Emperor's tribe, and the fight between the Yanhuang Alliance and the Chiyou tribe, can all be seen.

These people in front of us are able to come here from their tribes to live, which means that their tribes are not particularly far from here.

And since that tribe was able to bring salt, pottery and other things to trade with the people of this tribe, it means that that tribe is not very far from here!

After all, transportation is inconvenient now, and most people walk on their own two legs...
