Theoretically, the rat people's fortress can go deep underground, but Zhang Peng did not let the fortress go too deep underground. He needed to monitor the information on the ground to know where the tribes were.
There is something like a sonar radar in the fortress, which constantly feeds back information from the ground. If it finds any living creatures, it will filter and alert. However, if you go deep underground, this feedback will become weaker, and you may not even be able to know the information from the ground.
The mole people under Zhang Peng are also a relatively easy-to-feed race. Although they are not as good as the undead under Li Ziyu who do not need to eat at all, the mole people can survive by eating insects. When digging holes underground, the fortress will automatically collect the insects dug, and these insects become the food for the mole people.
Of course, bugs can only be used as rations and cannot be used as real food to increase the number of mole people.
As they continued to dig forward, various signals from the ground turned into information and were fed back into the castle, allowing Zhang Peng to grasp the environment on the ground and what was there at any time and anywhere.
Maybe it was because of the Ghost Mountains, or maybe it was because we were digging in the wrong direction, but after walking for an hour or two, everything was very peaceful, which also meant that we didn't gain anything.
I just don’t believe it. There’s really nothing here. Dig, keep digging!
The mole people's mobile fortress does not move forward in a straight line. Mole people are timid by nature. After digging a certain distance, they will go around in circles, making the underground passage like a maze. Except for themselves, it is difficult for others to tell where the passage leads to.
They would turn around from time to time, expand the number and range of channels, and then continue to move forward in the original direction, and kept digging until noon.
[Warm Tip: There is a tribe on the ground ahead.]
Zhang Peng waited for good news and finally arrived at the tribe. He quickly ordered his mole men to prepare to contact the new tribe. Of course, he would not do this kind of thing alone, as that would be too dangerous. He just let the mole men go. Anyway, it was not the first time he had done such a thing.
Another thing is that he found that many tribes in the wilderness were of the orc race, and the mole people also belonged to the orc race, so it was easier to communicate with them. If he went there alone as a human, it would make the other party wary.
The five mole men took the order and set off towards the tribe they had discovered.
After waiting for about an hour, the mole man finally came back and brought back news about the tribe ahead. It was a small cat-people tribe, extremely wary of strangers. They couldn't even enter the tribe and were stopped outside. They looked quite poor, and probably didn't have any good things.
While reporting, the mole people handed a piece of bark paper to Zhang Peng, which recorded what they saw, heard and thought, and it looked very clear.
This is also Zhang Peng's habit. He feels that doing business is like a math problem, you have to be serious and accurate. Influenced by him, the mole people who originally lived only underground and did not like to deal with other creatures gradually relaxed. Although they were still timid, they dared to speak when facing strangers, and even developed some business habits.
After taking the bark paper and looking at the information recorded on it, Zhang Peng touched his chin and suddenly thought of the cat sisters he had met before. Could it be that I have dug up their tribe?
If it really is their tribe, it would be a good thing. After all, we have acquaintances there, and it would be more convenient to do business!
The mole people said that the tribe was very poor, but Zhang Peng didn't take it to heart at all. His men were too honest. To do business, one must have the spirit of selling combs to bald men and pregnancy test sticks to men!
It takes a discerning eye.
There is no such thing as being poor or not, only being able to see or not.
As long as there are intelligent creatures, there is no such thing as poverty. After all, intelligent creatures themselves are very good commodities. For example, the treasure-hunting cats under Liu Xingxing are great to have as pets. They are furry, well-behaved, and can talk.
"Bring food, plants, and meat, take everything, and also take those weapons that the undead don't need, and go again."
After reading the bark paper, Zhang Peng gave his subordinates a second request for a test. The first time was just a simple contact, asking each other questions, and no goods were brought. The second time was a test, the purpose of which was to know the other party's true situation.
Whether it is food or weapons, they are the most common commodities in the wilderness. Almost every tribe needs them, and a lot of information can be judged from what is needed.
For example, if food is needed, it means that the tribe's combat effectiveness is not strong, it cannot hunt enough prey, and cannot guarantee the food supply for the tribe members. Even if such a tribe appears to be ferocious, it is weak inside and can be befriended or eliminated.
If they needed weapons, it meant the tribe had enough food and a certain level of combat effectiveness, but their craftsmanship wasn't great. For such tribes, one had to be wary to prevent them from robbing them. But there was no need to worry too much. After all, the weapons Zhang Peng sold were all scraps discarded by the undead. If they even wanted such weapons, one could imagine their combat effectiveness.
The other world is a brand new world for those who travel through time. It breaks the shackles that bind them. The name of this shackle is secular morality. Many moral norms that needed to be followed in the previous life are not needed in this world.
Zhang Peng felt the same way. He wanted to survive and live a good life, especially if he wanted to go into business. He let go completely and as long as the price was right, most things could be bought and sold.
He waited patiently in the fortress. This time it took a little longer, about two hours later, the mole people came back with good news. The other party was very interested in the food, but did not have enough resources to exchange it.
"Haha, the fish is biting. Let's go and take a look."
