Chapter 17
“No, it must be the original owner who willingly offers it up and severs the contract.” After saying that, a small knife appeared in Yu’s right hand at some point. He raised his hand and made a cut on his left palm, dripping blood onto the small knife, and whispered, “Undo!”
Fu Le felt as if the small sword in his hand had been hit by a hammer, making a crisp buzzing sound. A blinding white light flashed, and then there was no more movement.
Fu Le: This is exactly like the legendary cultivation of immortality! Is there some kind of spirit in this artifact?
"No other spells?"
"No."
"Can it be stored inside the body?" Just like the spiritual sword in the world of cultivation.
"Store it in your body? No, I keep it in a container. I can take it out whenever I want." Yu answered Fu Le's strange question patiently.
Fu Le: Okay, she's overthinking it. These people aren't cultivators.
"How do you usually make a living?" The fact that a little bit of meat could be exchanged for his most precious weapon shows how scarce food is.
"Kiki Fruit, the essence of stone."
"Where do Qiqi fruits grow? I don't see any soil around them. And what is Stone Essence?"
"Kiki fruit grows in stone powder. Our tribe cultivates it by crushing stones into powder, and only the kiki fruit tree can survive and grow. There is also a very precious herb that can only grow by irrigating with a special nutrient solution. Only the tribe leader has the right to eat these. Stone essence is an essence extracted from a special kind of stone. One drop can keep you full for three days, and its effect on strengthening the body is more than ten times that of kiki fruit. Both need to be exchanged with contribution points. Kiki fruit is very common in our tribe, and we can grow it ourselves, so it is not expensive. Stone essence is much more expensive, so families that earn less contribution points usually eat kiki fruit to fill their stomachs all year round."
Fu Le: This has broadened my horizons.
"You've never eaten meat before, have you? How did you meet?"
"The people of the Celestial Clan have meat to eat. They raise some star beasts, but the meat they trade with outsiders is extremely expensive. Ordinary people like us can't afford it. Only the nobles in the clan can eat it. The nobles control the grass. The Celestial Clan doesn't have grass, so they use it for trade."
Grass can be used to exchange for meat? Tsk tsk... I wonder what kind of grass it is.
"I can trade you meat. Do you have anything to trade? I really like this little sword. I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you a Gulu beast head. After removing the bones, the meat is enough for one person to eat for several years. However, I need to remove the Gulu beast's teeth first." The long, hard teeth, like ivory, wouldn't be of much use to them, but she might find them useful.
"A beast head?" Upon hearing this, all the Lama tribesmen were excited.
"Yu, step back a bit, don't get hit," Fu Le reminded them.
After the translation, everyone immediately scattered, and then a huge beast head appeared in the bright, daylight-like cell, covering an area of more than twenty square meters.
Lama people; ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Fu Le didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at everyone, waiting for them to come to their senses.
“My Rama God above, I have seen the Star Beast! It is the Star Beast! It is the head of the Star Beast! You are a member of the Celestial Race!!!”
"So you're from the Celestial Clan! No wonder you can wear clothes made of cloth!"
"My God, the Machine Race has captured the Celestial Race!"
"Wow, this star beast has a huge head! How much meat must it have?"
Seeing everyone gathered around the beast-headed cricket, Fu Le walked over to Yu and said, "Put it away. This one is for you."
"Give it to me?" Yu looked horrified and incredulous.
After all the Lama people accepted the fact that Fu Le might come from the Celestial Tribe, Yan, who had silver eyes, sat down opposite Fu Le.
"How many more of these beast heads can you provide?" Yu asked seriously.
If they could trade enough Star Beast meat from this Celestial Clan member, they would have a chance to return to their clan instead of dying of old age in the Mechanical Clan's prison, where even food had to be provided by the prisoners themselves, as the Mechanical Clan neither ate nor thought of providing them with food.
"More than a hundred, but they have to be cut fresh. My star beasts are all intact, and I can even sell you their limbs and tails as well." Since they say they are star beasts, then they are star beasts. "You have to cut them off yourselves, and I will trade you the entire beast head."
language:! ! ! ! !
Other members of the tribe: ! ! ! !
Fu Le thought he would have to stay in prison until his departure, but who knew that as soon as he agreed to the deal, these Lama people had helpers, and these helpers were incredibly powerful, managing to take them all out.
The group that came to pick them up was not just one person, but an entire army—the Lama tribe's army, more than a hundred people. On their backs were stone bows, which looked very heavy, but they did not find them difficult to carry.
Fu Le: ...
What if they get robbed? Even a single Gulu Beast head drives them crazy, so seeing hundreds of Gulu Beasts would probably drive them insane.
Following the robot guide, we clattered our way out until we reached the prison gates. Looking up, all we saw was darkness, with the enormous moon right before our eyes.
“Fu, in our world, there is no daytime; this is the norm,” Yu explained to Fu Le, addressing his confusion.
Without sunlight, plants cannot grow, and most animals are herbivores, so the ecosystem cannot cycle. That's why they went crazy over a beast's head.
The two men who came to rescue the people both had silver hair and silver eyes. The language meant that only nobles in the clan had silver hair. They were all mixed-race, and Yan, who had silver eyes, was of mixed race. Even so, he was very influential among ordinary people because his eyes gave him that influence.
Fu Le: Okay, I don't understand such a strict class system, and I don't want to understand it.
"Fu, your Celestial Clan enjoys sunlight and daylight. This is a world bestowed upon you by the gods, a place our Lama Clan can never reach. Please allow us, the Lama Clan, to make a deal with you. We are willing to trade you the most prized instrument and weapon of our Lama Clan's Elder." After whispering a lot to the two silver-haired men beside him, Yu respectfully addressed Fu Le again. Fu Le looked at the two silver-haired men, who also wore respectful expressions. Clearly, they also assumed Fu Le was a member of the Celestial Clan.
"Shall we find a safe place to talk again?" There are only 65 hours left before they leave. Even if these Lama tribesmen really want to eat black, they can't do anything to her if she doesn't give it to them. If they can't get the supplies, they naturally won't kill anyone. Besides, in their current state, they seem to have a deep belief in her identity as a member of the Celestial Tribe.
Therefore, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, she has to venture out. She's very interested in the stone essence of their clan, as well as the Qiqi fruit, both of which have the effect of strengthening the body. This is exactly what she wants.
Fu Le boarded the dreamlike spaceship, a mechanical flying boat jointly purchased by the entire Lama clan nobility to transport passengers and supplies—a privilege reserved for distinguished guests of the Lama clan.
