Chapter 161 Minor Conflict
Hagang and Pingyao of the Black Deer Tribe, and Chi of the Falcon Tribe, were notified in advance to go and maintain the security of this exchange fair in order to avoid any trouble along the way! The main reason for sending the three Vajra to jointly guard the primitive exchange fair is to prevent the mutated giant Titan from appearing.
Hua cut the previously cooked beef into pieces of varying sizes, wrapped them in leaves of different sizes, tied them with leather ropes, and handed them to the tribal formation.
Hou handed over the prepared fire-starting tools to the performers in the tribal formation. These performers were all rigorously trained by Hou and Hua in their spare time!
The canyon was surrounded by throngs of primitive people.
The Barter Conference officially commenced after the high priest blew a large conch shell.
The order in which the tribes appear is based on the number of people in the tribe and the size of the tribe. A tiny tribe like the Blackrock Tribe with only thirty-seven people is naturally ranked first.
The tribes that follow are larger and more numerous, giving them a somewhat modern feel of being the grand finale.
The high priest of the Yi Hui blew the conch shell three times in succession. After the noise of the crowd subsided, he shouted, "Please welcome the Black Stone Tribe's formation to the stage!"
The Black Stone Tribe Chief, Hua, holding a miniature black stone and wearing wooden-soled cowhide slippers, strode confidently toward the Yi Hui High Priest's judging panel. She waved to the team members and presented the cooked beef, wrapped in leaves and cowhide rope, to the display stand.
The high priest, a member of the judging panel, pointed to the beef wrapped up like a landmine and asked Hua, "What is this?"
"Cooked beef!" Hua said as she untied the binding rope, picked up a portion, and distributed it to each member of the high priest's judging panel.
"Wow! This is delicious! It's so much easier to eat than raw beef! I happen to have bad teeth, so this method of cooking is a great invention! I vote for the Black Stone Tribe!"
"Mmm! Delicious! Delicious! I'll take a vote!"
"He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding! I'm definitely casting my vote!"
...
"Huh? What's that thing hanging on your foot? And what's that plant around your neck? I've never seen it before. Are these two things also on display?" High Priest Yi Hui stepped down from the judges' table and bent down to examine the wooden-soled cowhide slippers on Hua's feet.
"These are called slippers! This one around my neck is called a necklace! These slippers have wooden soles and leather uppers! The wooden soles better protect the soles of your feet from being punctured by sharp objects! The leather uppers provide excellent protection for the tops of your feet! This necklace around my neck is a string of vegetables from another world, called chili peppers! That's all I wanted to introduce! Now, let our performance team demonstrate how to start a fire by rubbing sticks together!" After saying this, Hua stepped off the stage and retreated backstage.
The Black Stone Tribe performance team skillfully lit a fire for all the primitive people.
As the performance began, the crowd below the stage erupted in excitement.
"Drilling wood to make fire? Who are these people? Are they gods? How can they all control heavenly fire?! This is too amazing!"
"Rumor has it that only gods wear shoes! I just secretly counted, and the Giant Deer tribe has at least three gods! A tribe of only thirty-seven people, yet they have more than three gods hidden in their ranks—just imagine what that means! It's terrifying!"
Hou held Xu Que's hand and whispered secrets in an inconspicuous corner. They also hugged and kissed every now and then!
This scene was witnessed by a member of the Yi Hui High Priest's judging panel. He asked Hua with a puzzled look, "Are those shoes worn by the roars in your tribe called shoes? They seem a bit different from yours!"
"Those shoes are much more advanced than mine! They're athletic sneakers! They have shock absorption! And the soles are softer and more flexible than wooden soles!"
"They're holding hands with each other, feeding each other like crows every now and then. What are they doing?" The judges of the Yi Hui High Priest's panel asked Hua for clarification.
"They secretly held their wedding ceremony last night and just got married. They're showing off their love right now!" Hua said, glancing at the bewildered primitive judges around her. She then explained in simpler terms, "They're using this method instead of scratching our itch or picking lice!"
"Oh! Now I understand!" All the original judges around Hua suddenly realized.
“That boy is our tribe’s god! The shoes I’m wearing, the necklace I’m wearing, this cooked beef, the fire-making tool and technique I’m using—all of these were taught to our tribe by him! So I’m now petitioning the high priest that no tribe shall ever again be allowed to take him from my Blackstone tribe by any means!”
High Priest Yi Hui nodded and made a note on the stone slab with a sharpened twig pen: "We have already filed your request! Don't worry! No primitive people or tribes will take it from him in the future! He belongs only to your Black Stone Tribe!"
"Given the extraordinary achievements of this god of the Black Stone Tribe, this priest has exceptionally promoted him to the position of vice high priest!" Before High Priest Yi Hui could finish speaking, Bahan, a member of the Black Goose Tribe, rushed up to High Priest Yi Hui at the exhibition stand: "As High Priest Yi Hui, this is unfair! Xu Que is not a god at all! He is a complete fraud!"
"Let him duel me if he dares! If he can beat me, then he's a god! If he can't even beat a weakling like me, then he's a fraud! Gods are protected by divine power, so they can't be so weak as to be weaker than someone like me who hasn't hunted in years, right?"
The judges, including the High Priest of the Yi Society, looked at Hua, the Blackstone Tribe chieftain: "This?"
All the primitive people present, upon hearing Bahan's words, joined in the commotion: "The gods beat him up! The gods are mighty! The gods beat him up..."
Upon hearing that Ba Han wanted to fight Xu Que, Hou quickly shielded him behind him, saying, "No! I won't allow you to fight with Brother Tian Shen!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! ... Beat him up! Beat him up!" All the primitive people present joined in the commotion.
Xu Que gently pushed him away and roared, "How are we going to compete? Are we going to fight?"
Hou was afraid that Xu Que would get hurt, so he pulled him away and wouldn't let him go.
Xu Que whispered in Hou's ear, "I have a way! Trust me! I won't get hurt!"
Hou was still a little skeptical, looking at him with a doubtful and worried expression.
Xu Que emerged from the crowd of primitive people. He arrived at the open space in front of the barter fair's exhibits, hands in his pockets, waiting for Ba Han to make his move.
Hou clenched his fists in worry and prayed from below the stage.
Hua's heart raced as she watched the person she liked about to fight with the cavemen, her heart pounding with anxiety!
Ba Han gave Xu Que a contemptuous smile, clenched his fist and rushed towards Xu Que, intending to grab him and smash him to death on the spot!
Xu Que watched as Ba Han charged towards him menacingly. Without even dodging, he took out the bear spray he had prepared beforehand and sprayed it several times in Ba Han's face! Ba Han instantly collapsed to the ground, suffocating and rolling around, looking like he was in great pain!
