Chapter 515 Fire Bronze Tribe, Wu·Xi
The Fire Bronze Tribe finally arrived on the fifth day thanks to Lu Xingshi and Wo's day and night travel.
The main reason was that Lu Xingshi was held back. Not only was he not as fast as Lu Xingshi, he also needed to rest, eat, etc., which resulted in it taking five days to arrive.
In these five days, the two of them ran at least tens of thousands of kilometers. After running, Lu Xingshi missed flying. Not only was it faster, but it was also very comfortable.
Both pros and cons are extraordinary people, and they are also extraordinary people who are good at physical fitness and will, otherwise Snail would definitely not be able to bear it.
How could Lu Xingshi not be able to bear it? He could modify it even if he didn't have enough energy.
The Fire Bronze Tribe is located at the foot of an active volcano, and magma erupts from time to time and flows downward.
However, this did not affect the life of the Fire Bronze tribe. With the protection of the totem and the blood of Fire Bronze in their bodies, they directly ignored the high temperature and lava.
They even use it as an environment for survival.
When Lu Xingshi and others arrived, they were quickly received by the shamans of the Fire Bronze Tribe after revealing their identities.
During this period, he also saw the totem of the Fire Bronze Tribe, a huge fire bird whose entire body was made of fire copper.
This made Lu Xingshi think of the royal envoy. He had such a mark on his body. It seemed that he was from the Fire Bronze Tribe.
No wonder he was arranged to come to this area for notification, because he is a local.
The shaman of the Fire Bronze Tribe is named Ming. He is an old man about the same age as Ei, but he is inferior to Ei in terms of body shape. However, his hair is fiery red and his body carries high temperatures.
"Of course there is no problem in exchanging the blood copper beetle larvae for fire essence copper. You can exchange two pieces for one." He said with a smile.
However, Lu Xingshi shook his head: "Wu Wu, you should know my true purpose."
When addressing shamans from other tribes, you cannot call them by their names, you must give them respect, so it is in the form of name plus position.
He looked at Lu Xingshi with burning eyes. He had actually guessed something.
Hui from the Tongshu Tribe is good at divination, so he guessed that Lu Xingshi came here and wanted top-grade fire essence copper.
"So don't beat around the bush, I want that piece of crimson fire copper with golden flame patterns." Lu Xingshi put the matter directly on the table.
"Okay, you can exchange five larvae for this fire essence copper." He responded immediately.
"I am relatively young, only eight years old, but I have already gone through the coming-of-age ceremony and awakened my bloodline. Why should the wizard regard me as a child?"
"I'll give you a real price. Two larvae will be exchanged for the top-grade fire essence copper, and the remaining three larvae will be exchanged for thirty pieces of fire essence copper."
Lu Xingshi had no intention of arguing with the other party and directly gave his request.
"If it doesn't work, the Bronze Tree Tribe doesn't necessarily need it. At worst, you can raise it yourself. When the time comes, you can take five pieces of worm bead blood copper to the royal court and exchange them for something better."
Lu Xingshi is telling the truth. A piece of insect bead blood copper can be directly exchanged for a piece of top-grade fire essence copper. Although it is a larvae, ordinary fire essence copper is said to be valuable in the fire copper tribe. In fact, it does not have much value. It can be purchased every month. A dozen pieces were mined out.
The main reason is that it is difficult to mine. In fact, there is not a lot of fire essence copper.
And with the size of this active volcano, it would not be able to dig out all of it until the Bronze Royal Court is destroyed. Even the amount of top-grade fire essence copper is ridiculous. As long as they continue to mine, there will always be more.
The reason for this change is simply because if you want to mine fire essence copper, you must have enough flame resistance. Currently, only the fire copper bloodline has it in this area.
Speaking of losses, it is definitely not a loss from their respective perspectives.
After all, Lu Xingshi gave them larvae that needed to be raised. It was not easy to raise them in such a harsh environment.
The Fire Essence Copper given by Bing is indeed ordinary, but the Copper Tree Tribe has to pay a high price to obtain it. Both sides have advantages.
"You said so, then let's change it." Seeing Lu Xingshi's attitude, if he dared to continue to lower the price or use tricks, Lu Xingshi would indeed turn around and leave.
The Fire Bronze Tribe is not the only one with similar specialties. Although the natural materials and earthly treasures of the surrounding tribes are not as special as the Fire Essence Copper, they can still win with quantity, and they will definitely lose in the end.
"No wonder Hui will let you out alone. You are indeed a witch at such a young age." He praised Lu Xingshi.
After the deal was concluded and both parties made money, their attitudes naturally softened.
In fact, if Lu Xingshi really followed Hui's wishes in exchange for supplies such as salt and sugar, it would not be that easy for this transaction to succeed.
The Fire Bronze Tribe can give Fire Essence Copper, but it is really difficult for them to ask for food.
"I don't dare to take it. I have to rely on the guidance Hui gave me." Lu Xingshi said modestly.
And Wo on the side was worried. After all, Hui asked them to exchange for food, and Lu Xingshi all turned into fire essence copper.
He didn't know much about fire essence copper, but he wanted food more than this thing. After all, he wanted food to maintain the survival of the tribe.
It's just that Lu Xingshi was the one doing the transaction, so Wo was too embarrassed to interrupt.
"Witch, please speak quickly, and the larvae will be handed over to you." Lu Xingshi said and handed over the larvae of the blood copper beetle, which was regarded as a deposit. And then he smiled: "You, you just want to get this piece of fire essence copper."
After taking over the larvae, he moved the crimson fire copper with golden flame patterns that Lu Xingshi wanted from a certain location in the camp.
The reason why I had to move it was because this piece of top-grade fire essence copper was really big and heavy at first glance.
Fortunately, Lu Xingshi is no longer what he used to be. He is no longer the blank slate at the beginning, and he can easily lift it up with one hand.
A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. If Lu Xingshi lifted it with two hands, it would be normal. Now Lu Xingshi can lift it with one hand and do it so easily. His bloodline concentration is at least high.
The growth of the body and will of the Fire Bronze Bloodline is not as good as that of the Bronze Bloodline. If the totem warriors of their Fire Bronze Tribe who have just awakened their bloodline come over, it would be extremely difficult to move them.
"It's quite substantial."
"Then what will happen to the remaining fire essence copper and when will it be delivered?" Lu Xingshi asked.
The environment of the Fire Bronze Tribe is indeed very harsh for outsiders. Unlike those with Fire Bronze bloodline, not only do they not have any influence, but they are as comfortable as a fish in water.
"It will take some time. Currently, there are only about 20 pieces of fire essence copper in the tribe."
"If you can wait, Lu, you can temporarily live in our tribe for a month. Next month, I will arrange for someone to help you deliver thirty pieces of fire essence copper to the Tongshu tribe."
"If you want to pick it up in advance, we can only help you transport it once, or you can go back first and wait until thirty pieces of fire essence copper are gathered together to send it to you."
Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Xingshi to be sent there twice.
The distance between the Fire Bronze Tribe and the Bronze Tree Tribe was not close, so he didn't have any extra time for the tribe members to waste.
They are also struggling for food and clothing. One less person means one less labor force.
"Well... I'll discuss this with Wo." Lu Xingshi didn't agree immediately, but was going to ask for Wo's opinion.
Of course, this is actually an excuse.
The main reason is that it is really not good to go back empty-handed. After all, he took a third of the larvae out and ended up swallowing the only benefit. It will take a month for the remaining benefits to be issued. Plus the arrival time, at least It will take two months. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the middle.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." He didn't care about time.
"Actually, there is a better solution, that is, you can gather thirty pieces of fire essence copper in a short time."
"It's actually not difficult to do this, right?"
"I hope Wu Wu can take this matter seriously, so that we can rush back as soon as possible, and you can bear less of the food burden for the two of us." Lu Xingshi's excuse was not only for himself, but also gave Wu something to think about. time.
Increasing production capacity will benefit both parties.
After all, they are not little bird stomachs, but real pot-bellied kings.
As a guest, you will definitely not go to work, so just eating and not eating will naturally be a burden on the Fire Bronze Tribe's food.
Two people are indeed nothing, but two freeloaders are very problematic. As a primitive society with low productivity, everyone is a big eater, no matter how extraordinary they are, they can't stop them.
I carefully calculated the cost of food and overtime for the two of them, and found that the latter seemed to be more cost-effective.
"In two days, I will collect the remaining fire essence copper for you."
Previously, only a dozen pieces could be produced in a month, which meant that only one or two people went to mine if the tribe was guaranteed.
But now directly arranging for ten people to go there will lead to a temporary imbalance of food expenditures in these two days.
Originally, there were not many people in the Fire Bronze Tribe. After half of the population was divided to go to the Bronze Royal Court, all of them were young and strong. The entire tribe was less than 200 people, and ten people were already one-twentieth of the population. The most important thing was It’s not the old and the weak who are going.
Mining is not a simple matter, let alone going to the crater to mine. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
"Then I'll wait for the good news from the witch." Lu Xingshi stood up and left, staying temporarily with a man from the Fire Bronze Tribe.
As for why you are so anxious when your life is in danger, it is naturally because in the wild world, what can you do without risking your life? You have to worry about whether you will die when you go out hunting for ferocious beasts.
So don't worry too much at all.
"Lu, I didn't bring any food back, how should we explain to Hui." As soon as he settled down, Wo asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this." Lu Xingshi said slowly: "Hui won't care about this little food. With thirty pieces of fire essence copper, our tribe can have thirty more people with the power of fire." Totem Warrior."
"Compared to a little food, fire essence copper is naturally more valuable."
"The food is fixed, but thirty powerful totem warriors can hunt more ferocious beasts." Lu Xingshi said that this was a cost-effective deal.
I thought so too. Five totem warriors with bloodline abilities are far more valuable than one large rice ball and thirty small rice balls.
