I didn't dare to look too hard, but when I saw the general appearance of the hyena's head, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, there are really all kinds of weird things on this island. From the standing hyena, I could vaguely hear the sound of metal armor plates shaking, which shows that the opponent should be wearing armor, and all of them are made of metal. In addition, seeing the sharp spear, the craftsmanship should be quite good.

After seeing this tribe hidden in the wasteland, I thought it was probably the territory of the hyena man. I thought I had made a wrong judgment, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed the truth. If it is not a hyena man, how can it leave three vertical claws and one horizontal claw? If it is just a human, it does not have the claws. If it is just a hyena, it does not have the wisdom to leave such complex symbols everywhere, instead of using dog urine.

In this sense, being neither a dog nor a human is the most suitable and satisfactory condition.

But it is obvious that these hyena people have no intention of killing us, otherwise why would they wait so long? But since they don't want to kill us and there is no sign of further action, what are they trying to do?

"What should we do? Zhou Bo." Yunwen asked me.

"If they want to hurt us, this place is very close to the castle, why don't they come to catch us directly, but wait until we get here to attack us? Although we have mistakenly entered their territory, there is such a reason, but their behavior is very abnormal. They didn't hurt us, but just threatened us. From this point of view, they have no reason to kill us. Since they are guards, they need to wait for orders. Obviously, they have no orders to capture and kill us." I said.

"You mean, they are just threatening us, but why?" Yunwen asked.

"Have you ever heard a saying? This road was built by me, and these trees were planted by me. If you want to take this road..." Before I finished speaking, Yunwen continued with the next sentence.

"Leave some money for passage! So, they want us to leave some money for passage?" Yunwen asked.

"As long as there are classes, status differences, and systems, there will most likely be some kind of corruption. Their civilization is advanced, so such things should be uncommon. I boldly guess that they just want money," I said.

"But we don't have any money that they can use, so how can we give it to them?" Yunwen asked.

At this moment, I couldn't help but think of some things. I remembered that the table in Yingchun's room collapsed and things were scattered all over the floor. I didn't pay much attention to these at that time. Now when I think about it, it seems that a lot of those Yingchun wood carvings are missing.

"Wealth does not necessarily refer to money, there are other things as well. With your memory, can you recall whether a lot of wood carvings were missing from Yingchun's room during the two visits?" I asked.

Yunwen thought about it for a while and then nodded at me.

"It seems that Yingchun's disappearance is related to these things. See if there is anything special on you. We can find it and give it to each other, maybe we can help her out." I said.

So we both searched our clothes, and I found the silver spoon in my pocket. I was used to sleeping in the open air, and I would often put things in my pockets. I guess it was the same now. I don't know when I put the spoon into my pocket, but fortunately it was an unintentional act this time.

I took out the silver spoon and moved it behind me, feeling nervous, afraid that the other party wouldn't buy it and that I was overthinking it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached behind with the silver spoon, it was immediately taken away by a force. The two hyena men exchanged a few sounds for a while, and after a while, the two spears pointing at Yunwen and me released their spears. When I turned around, I saw the hyena men dodged sideways and pointed at the direction ahead to continue moving forward.

The bridge behind us still showed no sign of being lowered, and the meaning was obvious: they still had no intention of letting us go so easily.

After that, the two hyena men led us forward all the way. We walked past the stone road paved on the water and entered a valley mountain road. This road was only wide enough for one person to move forward. After passing there, we saw a valley area with mountains on both sides and the two slopes leading up the mountain were brightly lit. I thought I had returned to the civilized world.

But here are not people, but hyena people. They are squatting on the ground with rocks in front of them and many things placed on the rocks. I saw ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, fish, shrimp, crab legs, various insects and so on. Many of them are the ones that can be seen in Yingchun’s room, and each thing is placed between the lotus leaves on the rocks, which is dazzling.

It turns out there is a trading market here. No wonder the two hyena guards didn’t do anything to Yunwen and me. They were counting on us to consume here. If they kill us, they won’t get any tips, and no one will come to their hyena market. Wouldn’t that be a heavy loss?

After the two guards sent us in, they went out to block the people. Yunwen and I breathed a sigh of relief. A buying and selling market means a profit relationship, and this profit relationship can save our lives for now. After all, people die for money and birds die for food. Now it is the sellers who need the market.

Yunwen and I walked around here and saw that some of the "vendors" were selling hunted game, while others were selling weapons, mostly spears, swords, knives, shields, etc. made of rough iron. It can be seen that there is a certain level of craftsmanship, but it is still a little lacking. It is very different from the machine-made ones we have seen.

Of course, there are also some vendors selling what can be considered "health products", such as lotus seeds, lotus roots, lotus leaves, and some other recognizable herbs. It seems that the vendors who know something about natural medicine are setting up stalls here.

Although this is a remote place, after walking here for a while, I really feel like I am shopping in a night market. Although the people selling things are not humans, but dogs with strange expressions, after watching them for a long time, and seeing that they are not hostile, I gradually got used to it. At most, I felt like I was in a foreign country.

Yunwen also gradually got used to it. At first, she was uneasy under the gazes of those hyena people and tried her best to support me. Now she walks calmly and is no longer afraid. In fact, after thinking it through, she realized that there is nothing to be afraid of here. There are only buyers and sellers and other goods. How bad can it be?

What's incredible is that there are more than just Yunwen and I visiting this market. There are also other hyena people, mermaids, and very small rat people. It's like different races, all choosing and purchasing the things they need. Although it's not bustling with people shoulder to shoulder, there are indeed considerable numbers and transactions are ongoing.

The common currency here is copper coins, which are shaped like lotus leaves. I don’t know what the exchange rate is or how to determine the value of goods.

"Zhou Bo, I never thought that one day I would be walking on the streets of a market with you, just holding hands, passing other pedestrians, looking at the goods, walking on the small paths, feeling so relaxed." Yunwen said and smiled at me.

"I never thought that on this deserted island, there would be such a tribal civilization that has reached such a level, with markets and trading markets. I also never thought about what you thought about. Excuse me, have you and your fiancé ever gone shopping like this?" I said.

She shook her head and said, "No, we have only met once. My parents arranged for us to meet at a western restaurant. After we met, he talked to me about the conditions for marriage. He said he would buy a few houses for my parents, buy me a car, and let me be a rich wife. Then he knelt down and proposed to me. He even chose the wedding ring himself. We didn't choose it together, so I have never gone shopping with him."

"Oh, that's it," I said.

"As for which man she has gone shopping and walked with, besides my dad, it's you. And from now on, I think I will only go shopping with you and won't look for anyone else." Yunwen said, and she couldn't help but increase the strength of her fingers, biting her lips, and her face flushed.

I was secretly delighted and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the lotus leaf coin now, otherwise I would give you the whole wedding ring."

I suddenly felt something was wrong. Was this wedding ring just bought casually? However, Yunwen did not blame me, but just smiled.

As we were in a hurry, we both suddenly stopped and looked ahead, only to see a stall appear in front of us, and the things on display were so familiar.
