Outside the gate, Su Yuan unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
"Tear...Tear Fox? How could it be you?"
He thought it was another small tribe seeking refuge, but he never expected it was Tear Fox who came looking for him.
He felt a mix of doubt and wariness, knowing that the fact that he was establishing Cangyuan Town here for trade was a direct challenge to Tear Fox's business.
Fewer people were going to her trading settlement, and naturally, the resources handed over also decreased. Su Yuan had to be more wary of the other party's intentions.
"It really was you! I guessed before that this suddenly appearing tribe was your doing, possessing an endless supply of that snow-white salty stone powder called salt!"
Seeing that Su Yuan was neither angry nor pressured, Tear Fox stepped forward with great surprise, her small figure wanting to pat Su Yuan's shoulder.
Unfortunately, he wasn't tall enough, so he could only pat Su Yuan's arm and say, "How did you manage to set up such a big tribe here? That stone wall is so high!"
"What brings you here? And who is this...?"
Su Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar with the other beast girl who approached. She was tall and dressed in a very wild style, with her long brown hair tied into a long ponytail.
Her exposed lower abdomen had very obvious muscles and abs, and a deep scar running from the side of her ribs to the other side of her lower abdomen.
The thighs beneath her were firm and strong, without any swaying as she walked.
Those eyes were fixed on him, making Su Yuan feel a little guilty. He recalled that this person had not appeared at the previous auction, so he asked Tear Fox.
"Oh, Shi Jing, the shaman of the Shi Jing tribe."
Stone Crystal Tribe?
Su Yuan recalled for a moment and immediately remembered that the Shi Jing tribe was the same Xiong Niang tribe that had auctioned off the toxic salt mine at the auction, but the people who went at that time were not Shi Jing.
Moreover, he was also a shaman, a fifth-tier mage in the hierarchy.
But judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a magician at all; instead, he looks more like a powerful awakened warrior.
"I don't know about you..."
"Well, I came here to see who stole the people from my trading settlement. You don't know, our settlement has been deserted lately, it's so quiet and boring."
"Of course, that's not the point. The second thing is that I hope you can let go of the people I sent to investigate. I was just curious, so I sent a few people, but I didn't expect that you would catch them."
The fox looked somewhat helpless, and even its fox ears drooped down in disappointment, but it quickly perked up again.
"Could you take us inside to have a look first?"
Su Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Shi Jing standing to the side.
"Oh, her? Say something, or I'll go in first."
"Shi Jing, this person has also come to beg you to release me. Also, I want to know how you manage to make your salt so pure that there isn't a single impurity?"
Both of them had come to ask for people back, but Su Yuan didn't immediately take them inside for a tour. Instead, he said something very seriously.
“The person is still alive, but I will not release him. Since you two dared to send spies, you should be prepared to suffer losses.”
They sent someone to gather intelligence, got arrested, and then came to ask for their release. Does that mean that every time someone comes, all those hundreds of people they've arrested have to be released one by one?
Su Yuan stared at the expressions of the two men, his hands already prepared. Now that they were so close, he was not afraid at all that they were both shamans.
As for those hiding in the corner, their strength is probably so weak that they can't even break free from their own gravity.
Shi Jing maintained the same expression, while Tear Fox narrowed her eyes, took two steps back, and stared at Su Yuan.
"Really can't it be released?"
