Everyone cheered themselves up, it’s almost there, it’s almost there!
After a month of living in the open air, the females became darker and thinner, but their bodies were healthier than when they were in the tribe, especially Miao Xiaocui. She used to fall down at the slightest gust of wind, but now she can turn over half an acre of land with a hoe without any problem.
The journey was a little difficult, but Bach did not let anyone down in terms of food. He just caught a big prey, which was enough for the females to eat, and the males had to take care of their own food.
After breakfast, the females spontaneously packed their luggage and climbed onto the back of the patriarch. When everything was ready, the migration team set off again.
…
The daytime trade fair was very lively, like a giant zoo, with all kinds of strange and bizarre races walking back and forth. Wente took her to a long-legged python and a long-horned python, both of which were said to come from the water.
Both snakes coiled their tails and stared at the orcs who came to trade. There was only one meter between the two snakes. In front of them were snake skins and naturally fallen snake teeth.
Shu Yue asked curiously, "How do you replace your snake skin?" The snake skin is very large and intact, so it should be comfortable to make clothes.
The two snakes had long noticed this beautiful female and the powerful male beside her. Seeing that the female was interested in the snake skin, the horned snake said, "Our skins are useless, so we want to exchange them for some food we haven't eaten on land, or maybe mate with a female on land a few times."
The first part was fine, but the second part made Wen Te's face change, "What did you say!"
The terrifying pressure hit the two sea snake beasts, and they trembled. The snake with long legs said, "Don't get me wrong, we don't want to mate with your female, but with other females on land. We have been adults for a long time and have never had a stable partner. We hope to use our snake skin to mate with females a few times..."
Snakes on land will not give their skin to anyone other than their partners. Every time they shed their skin, it is used to make clothes for their future partners because it has the male's own scent on it.
Their snake skins are different in that they don't leave any odor, so neither males nor females have a problem with using them for trading.
Wente glared coldly. He couldn't stand these orcs in the water. They were promiscuous and shamelessly mated with humans everywhere. The most hateful thing was that they had a very strong reproductive ability. After the trade fair every year, there would always be some females who were pregnant with sea snake eggs.
Each pregnancy results in a whole litter. Once the babies are born, they're either thrown back into the sea to fend for themselves or roasted and eaten by other males. Sea snakes don't raise their young and are the worst at shapeshifting. The reason these two beasts are setting up stalls in animal form is because their transformation into human form is incomplete, with human bodies and snake tails, and they're ugly...
Wente took out two small clay pots from the bamboo basket behind him and gave them to them. "These pots are more popular with land females than your snake skins. I'll trade them with you."
Under the confused gazes of the two snake beasts, Wente separated the bamboo basket and then picked up all their snake skins and stuffed them into the basket. The four complete snake skins filled the bamboo basket to the brim, enough to make several sets of clothes.
The two snake beasts looked at the jar and were about to cry, "This is too small..."
Wente gave them a generous look and said, "This is called a pottery jar. No other tribe nearby has it. You're in luck."
"Give me these snake fangs too. You want to eat food from land? At night, bring the snake fangs to us in the east and we'll trade them for food."
After saying that, he pulled Shu Yue away.
“…”
Shu Yue felt the same as the two snake beasts. Exchanging two jars for so many things would be more than just a bargaining master in China...
