"That area is not open to the public; it belongs to the Tear Fox tribe. However, you can still enter if you want to trade with the Tear Fox tribe."
Su Yuan looked around in a daze, not only at the stunning and breathtaking scenery, but also at the strange objects and landscapes belonging to this primitive world.
"With so many supplies left out for trade, aren't you afraid of being attacked and robbed by orcs?"
Walking through the settlement, Su Yuan chatted with Qing Lei from time to time. Shi Shi and Tu Ying had been arranged to go back and bring Xin Ke and the others to conduct the transaction.
In this settlement, salt is much more expensive than animal meat and hides. However, in Moon Pivot City, because Starsea Town produces sea salt in large quantities and hunting in the snowfield is very difficult, often resulting in empty-handed hunts, animal meat is more expensive than salt.
This time, we can use some salt to trade for a large quantity of animal meat and hides to take back.
"Orcs? Orcs wouldn't dare to lay a finger on this place. Our Tear Fox chieftain is the most powerful shaman in the entire Cangye Plains. He can burn them all to ashes with a single flame."
"A witch doctor?"
Su Yuan had heard of shamans before. The two tribal leaders, Shenyuan and Shenmang, were shamans, but they were old and were seeking an artifact in the Spirit Healing Forest to extend their lifespan.
Unexpectedly, in this desolate wilderness, a random settlement was found to be responsible for trading, and its leader was a shaman.
"Sister Qinglei, Sister Yue needs to see you!"
Suddenly, a beast girl emerged from the Tear Fox tribe in the distance. Judging from her attire, she and Qing Lei were from the same tribe. She waved and called out in their direction.
"Well... I have guests here. Could you tell Sister Yue that you'll go later?"
Qinglei looked at Su Yuan with a troubled expression, then glanced down at the bag of salt stone powder in her hand, and hesitated.
She had only led others into the settlement and taken a couple of steps when she felt a little embarrassed to accept the thing in her hand.
But when I recalled that salty taste that wasn't mixed with any other flavors, I started to hesitate again.
"But Sister Yue is in a hurry. If we're late, we might get scolded."
"Alright then, wait for me a moment."
After speaking to the beast girl, Qing Lei lowered her tail and her pale yellow ears drooped sadly as she returned everything in her hands to Su Yuan.
"Keep it. I need you to take me to the auction hosted by your leader tomorrow. Consider this an advance payment."
"Really? That's great! I'll definitely take you there tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll go take care of things right now. If you need anything, just tell one of the people nearby who wears this teardrop decoration, and they'll bring you over immediately."
Qinglei pointed to the ornament on her wrist, a teardrop-shaped crystal pendant carved from Akashi.
It looks like something that Tu Ying and the others brought before, but its appearance is somewhat different from the decorations made by the Light Chasers in Star Rift Canyon.
"Okay, don't worry about it, I'll let you know if I need anything."
Su Yuan could tell that the girl in front of him had a serious spirit. If he just let it go, she would definitely not accept that little bit of salt.
After parting ways with Qinglei, Su Yuan began to wander around the market alone. The transactions in this settlement were different from those he had made in Starsea Town and Moon Pivot City.
There were no clear rules for the transactions; everyone was bargaining based on their intuition. The back-and-forth haggling turned the place into a bustling scene comparable to a vegetable market.
"Well... this is way too lively!!!"
