Chapter 934: The Wise Old Priest Two-in-One



The person who expressed this out loud was a very strong looking man.

As he spoke, he raised the dazzling weapon in his hand high up and tore off the ropes on his body, loosening the animal skin wrapped around his body and revealing the body underneath.

In this way, he showed everyone in the tribe his strength and the power of their tribe.

Although some parts of his body shrank due to the cold after the animal skins were scattered, it did not prevent him from continuing to perform such actions.

The meaning he expressed and the actions he took attracted many people to respond.

Yes, their tribe is so powerful, and they also have sharp weapons exchanged from that tribe. If that’s the case, why can’t their own tribe rob the newly emerged tribe that has precious pottery and salt?

In this way, all these things will belong to your own tribe!

The old priest who was sitting in the tree house, looking at the exquisite pottery in front of him and the precious salt inside the pottery in deep thought, heard the increasingly loud shouts from below.

His drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and he looked very angry.

"#¥W@3!"

He stood up and walked to the open window of the tree house, stuck his head out of the window, and shouted angrily at the people below. The people who had just been aroused and seemed excited suddenly fell silent.

The man who held the weapon high was stunned for a moment, then quickly put the weapon down, picked up the rope from the ground, quickly wrapped up the scattered animal skins, retracted his neck, pretended nothing had happened, and walked aside.

It looked a little funny and made people laugh, but no one laughed.

Seeing this, the old priest snorted, retracted his head from the window, sat down in front of the ceramic bowl of salt again, stared at the two things and fell into deep thought.

The hunchbacked primitive people did not dare to disturb them and just sat opposite and waited quietly, waiting for their priest to make a decision.

After a while, the priest, who looked a little old, raised his drooping eyelids again.

"#¥5@#..."

He spoke, his voice slow.

What he meant was that he should let the hunchbacked primitive people wait for a while and then set out again to that area to find the tribe that did the same thing as they did.

"¥#%T..."

After understanding what the priest meant, the hunchbacked primitive man spoke. He meant to ask the priest what to do after finding the tribe doing the same thing as them, and whether they should really rob that tribe.

The priest was silent for a while, shook his head, and spoke again.

He told the hunchbacked primitive man that after finding the tribe, he should not attack them, but instead see if the tribe could make these two things themselves.

If you can't make it, find the tribe that can make such precious things through them.

"¥#3..."

The hunchbacked primitive man spoke again, asking their priest what to do after finding the tribe. Should they attack the tribe, rob them of the things they had, and bring the people who made these precious things back to their own tribe?

"@#Ii..."

Their priest shook his head and pointed in a direction.

That direction is where another powerful tribe is located.

The pottery, salt, and sharp weapons of their tribe were all exchanged from that tribe.

What the priest meant was that the tribe that was able to produce these things was so powerful, and now the newly emerged tribe could produce more exquisite things than the tribe they were familiar with, and might be even more powerful.

Our own tribe cannot defeat such a tribe.

After hearing what the old priest said, and recalling the appearance of the tribe where they often went to trade, the hunchbacked primitive man couldn't help but shiver.

Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this?

Fortunately, there is a wise priest, otherwise he and the people in the tribe might have made a big mistake this time, and his tribe might even be destroyed.

"#¥5@3..."

Seeing the appearance of the hunchbacked primitive man, the old primitive man showed a smile on his face, and was happy for his own wisdom and the obedience of the hunchbacked primitive man.

He continued speaking, and while speaking, he once again pointed in the direction he had pointed not long ago.

The hunchbacked primitive man listened carefully to the old priest's narration, and gradually a look of joy and admiration appeared on his face.

He was delighted with the future prospects of his tribe and deeply admired the wisdom of the priests.

The method the priest suggested was really great! It was much better than what they had thought of before.

What the priest meant was that he and his companions would find the tribe that did the same thing as their own tribe, and then through that tribe find the tribe that could produce such exquisite pottery.

Then they exchanged food and other things with that tribe, and got exquisite pottery and delicious salt.

After doing all this, the tribe would use the exquisite things they exchanged to trade with other tribes and obtain food from them.

When the hunchbacked primitive man thought that after finding that tribe, his tribe would no longer have to trade with the powerful tribe not too far away from his tribe, the old priest spoke again and pointed his finger at that tribe again.

"#¥@#34..."

The old priest spoke slowly, expressing his meaning.

The hunchbacked primitive man who was originally sitting cross-legged here could no longer sit down after he understood the meaning of his tribal priest.

Full of surprise, he quickly stood up, faced the old priest, and folded his hands together to show his respect for the old priest.

It's not that as a primitive man he is too polite, it's just that what the old priest said is too powerful and feasible!

It was impossible not to respect him like this.

After the old priest's guidance, he felt that his tribe, which had obtained the exquisite pottery, could continue to trade these pottery and salt with the small tribes that used to trade with them, and felt that this way they could earn a lot of food.

But the old priest later suggested using these things to exchange with a powerful tribe neighboring his own.

When this proposal was first made, the hunchbacked primitive man didn't understand it yet, but when he understood it, he immediately became excited.

He had personally experienced the power and wealth of the tribe that was closer to his own. That tribe had plenty of food.

The food of many small tribes he had encountered combined was not as much as that of this tribe.

In the past, the tribe would exchange food and other things for pottery, salt, etc. from this wealthy tribe, and then use the exchanged pottery and other things to exchange for food from other tribes.

A lot of the food exchanged was given to this powerful and wealthy tribe.

Before, he had never thought of exchanging other things from this tribe for their food.

After all, they are so rich and powerful, and have things that other tribes do not have.

But now, things are different.

Thinking back to the many kinds of food he had seen in that wealthy tribe, and then thinking about the wonderful scene in which he and others used exquisite pottery and other things to exchange for all the food from that tribe and turned it into food for his own tribe, the hunchbacked primitive man couldn't help feeling happy, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The priests are indeed priests, they are wise and they consider things in the long term.

If the priest had not told these things, he and other people in the tribe would never have thought of such a solution.

"#¥4@#..."

The hunchbacked primitive man spoke excitedly, and what he meant was that he wanted to take the people and the food exchanged this time and return to the area where the exquisite porcelain was discovered to find the tribe that could produce it.

He was already becoming impatient to exchange his exquisite pottery for food from that powerful tribe.

"#¥4@3..."

The old priest shook his head again.

He told the hunchbacked primitive man not to be so anxious.

The most important thing the hunchbacked primitive people should do now is to take the food obtained from this exchange and continue to move towards the powerful tribe near them to exchange these foods for pottery, salt and other things.

Then, carrying these not-so-good pottery and salt, they went to the area where the exquisite pottery appeared.

In this way, even if they did not find the tribe that could make exquisite pottery this time, they could still exchange these not-so-good pottery and salt with those small tribes.

At the same time, another meaning of doing this is that it allows the hunchbacked primitive people to take the exquisite pottery and delicious salt they exchanged to show to the powerful tribe nearby.

See if they are really willing to exchange a lot of food for these two things.

If by some chance that powerful and wealthy tribe did not like these two things and did not want to exchange food with them, then it would be a bad thing for them to spend so much food in exchange for a lot of exquisite pottery and salt.

It has to be said that there is a reason why this old primitive man can be respected and loved by everyone in the tribe.

This consideration alone far exceeds that of many people of this era.

After understanding the old priest's meaning, the hunchbacked primitive man bowed respectfully to the old priest again...

The hunchbacked primitive man left the wooden hut that belonged to the priest and climbed up to the house where he and some other people lived.

When the sun sets and the sky is about to darken, the people of this tribe begin to cook.

Because they live in tree houses, they are naturally not allowed to light fires inside.

When cooking, it is done on the ground below.

Every time when it was time to cook, the old priest would come down from his wooden house and watch the people of his tribe cook.

It was not because he particularly liked watching such scenes, nor was it because he couldn't wait to eat the food, nor was it because he was worried that someone in the tribe would take this opportunity to steal food.

It was because when the tribe started cooking, the smoke kept going up, and staying in the tree house would often make people cough and choke, with tears and snot flowing down together...

Today, because the hunchbacked primitive people brought back a lot of food, the meal in the evening seemed very sumptuous.

Also because of their return, although there was no wind tonight, many of the trees where the tree houses were located were swaying gently.

However, this shaking did not include the tree house where the old priest lived.

At this time, the window of the tree house where the old priest lived was half open, and the bright moonlight shone in from the half-closed window, casting a small patch of light.

In this patch of light, there was a ceramic bowl filled with salt.

The old priest stayed in the darkness on the side, his eyes fixed on the two objects in the moonlight.

His mind was in a mess and he kept thinking about all kinds of things.

There was the powerful tribe nearby, what he had told the hunchbacked primitive man today, and the speculation about this unknown tribe.

Before today, he had never thought that there would actually be a tribe more powerful than the neighboring tribe.

But now, looking at this exquisite thing, he couldn't help but think about it.

He really couldn't think of any other tribe that could come up with such a thing, except for one that was more powerful than the neighboring tribes.

After sitting here and watching for a while, the old priest stood up and closed the windows that were open, blocking the moonlight and the cold outside.

As the night deepened, the occasional sound of shaking trees disappeared.

The animals tied to the trees with ropes and surrounded by sticks have not rested yet.

Some of them were lying on the ground, while others were standing there, chewing something with their mouths moving.

As they chewed slowly, white foam appeared at the corners of their mouths.

After a long time, some bubbles will break and turn into water, dripping and falling to the ground in long strips...

What the wise priest said was really exciting. In addition, most of the food in their tribe was obtained through exchange, so the hunchbacked primitive people started to pack up the next day.

They left half of the food they brought back from outside in the tribe, and put the other half on the livestock that had already eaten grass and drunk water.

Some people also carried some on their backs.

After a short period of cleaning up, they left the tribe under the watchful eyes of the old priest and headed in one direction...
