And then there's the Hunting Flame, who will soon be leaving, taking the teleportation array back to the Netherworld.
"If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
After Su Yuan and his men left, Cang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Mo came over and helped her up.
“They really don’t have any designs on our tribe. Otherwise, there are only a few of you and Cangya in the tribe, and you wouldn’t be a match for them at all.”
"Yes, when Cang Yue brought them here, I was almost scared to death, especially since there were several warriors among them whose strength could completely defeat us."
"Cangxin, do you think they might be worried about the rules set by the Tearful Fox Witch...?"
Cang Xin waved her hand, a faint smile appearing on her weak face: "No, the rules of the Tear Fox Witch are often just things she says after thinking about them casually, and she can't even remember most of them herself."
"Besides, they came from other places and had no idea about the rules of the Tearful Fox Witchcraft. Perhaps we've met some good people."
"A good person..."
Good people carry too much weight in this primitive world, and no one dares to be one. Even Cang Xin and the others usually have selfish motives in their actions. It's considered to have a conscience if they don't cheat others.
They didn't need anything else, just some information and a few dozen severely wounded soldiers. Cang Yue said they were recovering quickly and were almost fully recovered now.
When I come back in a few years, I might be even stronger.
"Lingmo, next you take people to their trading settlement here and trade some salt stone powder with them using the stones that are abundant in our Stone Forest."
"There was also food, and medicine they used to treat their injuries."
Lingmo hesitated, not because of the rarity of the stone, but because she was worried: "But what if they don't want it either?"
"Some stones only glow when they are sounded, some stones amplify sound, and some stones produce an echo when struck. The only useful one is probably the flint that can start a fire."
"......"
Cang Xin knew that these stones were not worth much money. Only the flint could be exchanged for some resources outside, but now that the tribe had suffered heavy losses, these were all they had!
"Then take some of those fruits and animal hides you collected before, and some of each of the other stones, and bring plenty of flint."
You can exchange as many as you want. There are so many stones in the Stone Forest. Even if you collect all the ones on the ground, you can still dig underground. There are even more stones below the Stone Forest.
"Well... okay then."
Lingmo immediately began preparations, storing the fruits together with the food. However, collecting the stones was not so easy, as people usually only collected them for daily life.
Smooth stones are used as stools, or neat stones are used to build houses.
After a busy day, she finally managed to collect all the strange stones whose uses she knew.
Looking at the bundle of stones, the few fruits at her waist, and the animal hides carried by the people behind her, her eyes were filled with helplessness and worry. It was a bit too naive to think that she could exchange the stones she picked up casually for food and salty stone powder.
But she was also aware of the tribe’s current situation: most of the warriors were injured, no one went out hunting, and the auction of the progeny was a desperate gamble, risking all the tribe’s resources for the safety of everyone.
Now that there is better hope, there is naturally no longer that choice.
"Hopefully, these flints can be exchanged for some supplies."
