Chapter 240 Beishou Tribe
After Si Shuo became pregnant with Zaizai, she did not teleport once to Jiliang this time. For Ji Liang, seven or eight days have passed, but for Si Shuo, it has been eleven or two days!
Ji Liang puts some gadgets into the space every day. Some of them are for her, and he also doesn’t forget to take them to the Zai Zai.
He did not waste time practicing calligraphy. He wrote her a travelogue every day, describing everything he saw and heard along the way in simple and straightforward language.
Si Shuo read it to everyone during dinner in the evening. Who doesn't yearn for the outside world, but for survival and family, they have responsibilities and cannot go around for the time being.
Jiliang’s travel notes injected vitality and positivity into everyone, expanded their horizons and knowledge, and opened up the world.
Si Shuo clasped her fingers, Ji Liang should be back today, so she was waiting at home to go back to the valley with him.
It was just that the sky was darkening, and she had finished chewing a corn, but she hadn't waited for him yet. Si Shuo sent a note to Ji Liang with some concern.
"Xiao Shuoshuo, we encountered some trouble on the way back. A group of stray beasts attacked the caravan! All their goods were occupied by the stray beasts, and the people in the caravan were also captured as male slaves.
Koba and I just left Gubei and passed by stray beasts. Now they are searching and tracking us everywhere. ”
Ji Liang's handwriting is slightly sloppy, and the situation must be a bit dangerous.
Si Shuoxin picked it up, took out the note, and looked for other beastmen to discuss the matter.
Yin Jiang looked solemn, "The place Ji Liang went to this time is relatively remote. The orcs there are arrogant and unreasonable, and there are a group of ferocious and cruel stray beasts entrenched all year round.
But there are There are several rare resources, such as stones with good heat storage capacity, which are good for making beds to heat young females and cubs in winter; ores for making tools for ordinary orcs; and a beautiful gemstone that females particularly like.
The herbal medicines they sell are also good, including fertility aids, whitening aids, heightening aids... Just because of the presence of this group of wandering beasts, Gubei seems to be separated from our central mainland, and many traveling merchants are trying to get more Taking risks to earn crystals..."
"Yes, I have heard that things in Gubei are very expensive, but they are sought after everywhere. To buy supplies from there is to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth. "Xiao Cheng nodded, "Brother Ji Liang, why did you go there this time?"
Si Shuo pursed her lips and acted as their microphone.
“This caravan has been traveling to Gubei for many years. They spend a lot of crystal stones every year. They should not be robbed of their goods and become male slaves. This is no different from killing a goose to obtain the eggs. Wandering beasts also like it. It’s a long-term business,” Ji Liang replied, “And if Koba and I left the team early, why would it be worth it for them to mobilize an army and spend 20-30% of their manpower on the search? If I hadn’t set out along the way and led Koba to run faster, this would have happened.
Because of the abnormality, Koba and I want to find out the reason before going back, which makes Xiao Shuoshuo worried, but don’t worry, we will retreat immediately if we find something wrong.”
This kind of thing about accepting crystal stones and breaking the contract is one of two things. As a traveling businessman, profit comes first. When has it not been possible to gain wealth through risk? With high risk comes high reward.
If Jiliang wants to follow the path of traveling merchants, form its own team, and fill its own shops with goods, it must ensure that the goods are complete and of high quality.
It was not a last resort, and he did not want to give up this business line.
The males wrote letters one after another, asking him to keep in touch with the big guys and let him know if he needed them.
Jiliang will not come back for the time being, so Si Shuo takes everyone back to the valley. The one staying at home today is Xu Chi. With the cultivation of fields in the valley, everyone is skilled in the business and cooperates day and night. They can sow thirty acres in one day.
While resting, Yin Jiang used the wooden boards purchased from the wood-type orcs to fly to the branches to build a house. This tree is extremely thick and upright. There are many orcs in the house, and one bamboo hut is definitely not enough, not to mention that there will be more cubs reported in the future, at least three or four floors. How can he be so busy on his own?
Xu Chi will also fly up to help, or Wei Ze will transform into a beast and climb up.
Si Shuo just looked at the fat black and white bear climbing the tree, cute and mighty when it tugged and twisted, the joy in his heart rushed to the corner of his mouth, he looked up and couldn't get enough of it!
The males got interested in the little female's hobbies. When they were not doing work, except for traveling, they transformed into beasts one after another. For a while, the valley became a zoo...
Si Shuo was busy. Pull the tail of the fox, ruffle the fur of the leopard, or let Xu Chi or Yin Jiang take you to fly back and forth in the valley twice, or feed the big dumplings and cubs with fruits!
Of course, she also had to appease Gong You's depression about not being able to transform. Every day is very happy and busy!
Two or three days passed. Ji Liang successfully found the lair of the wandering beast by tapping some special abilities, while Koba was nearby to inquire about the "Northern Head Tribe".
It is said to be a tribe, but it is actually a group of cold and cruel wandering beasts organized to loot passing beasts and traveling merchants. There is no stray beast whose hands are stained with the blood of one hundred and eighty orcs.
And they are also one of the main suppliers of male slaves in the Colosseum in various beast cities! Anyone who falls into their hands, whether male or female, has no chance of escaping.
After receiving this news, Ji Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and hissed, asking Koba to continue collecting information, while he was lurking in the lair of the "Northern Tribe", waiting for opportunities.
This night is the day when the second-in-command of the "Northern Head Tribe" marries the holy female, who they also snatched from the nearby Beast City.
Perhaps they have been on a smooth sailing recently and have made a lot of money. They sang and danced around a few big bonfires, drank and ate meat, and made trouble late at night.
When most of the orcs fell asleep, Ji Liang released the spiked wood spirit. When the wood spirit released dozens of spikes filled with powerful intoxicating juice, he covered them with a thin layer of ice. Frozen, they fell into his palms one after another.
He held two of them on his fingertips and quietly explored the lair of the "Northern Tribe". The white bones of orcs and ferocious beasts are everywhere here, and the air is filled with a faint smell of blood.
The traveling merchant team was imprisoned in the back mountain, and he first walked around the perimeter. The patrolling stray beasts were not very vigilant, so he numbed them with spikes and fed them red mushrooms along the way.
The wandering orcs have rough skin and thick flesh. The angle at which Ji Liang penetrated was so tricky and the place was so secretive that not even a single red spot was left behind. They seemed to be leaning on the tree trunks and falling asleep.
After quietly getting rid of the patrolling stray beasts, he smeared his face with red mud, black mud and yellow mud like a stray beast from the "Northern Tribe", and restrained his body. His breath was mixed with the breath of a green snake who was as thin and tall as himself with golden eyes.
Many stray beasts are in the form of cold-blooded beasts, and their eyesight is not very good. They rely on their tongues to capture breath. Even if they are orcs, they are limited by the fatal shortcomings of their beast form. He is completely able to confuse the fake with the real!
