Chapter 1247 The Beast Tribe’s Transaction
Pass through underwater tunnels and emerge from warm sulphur springs.
They entered a cave inside the mountain.
Gordon climbed out of the hot spring all wet and prepared to endure the cold, but was surprised to find that the inside of the cave was unexpectedly warm.
The temperature was close to twenty degrees, so even though the armor was wet, it didn't feel too cold.
The lighting is sufficient, and the source of light is not only the large bonfire in the center of the cave.
The water vapor and heat brought by the hot springs cause a large number of luminous mosses to grow on the rock walls inside the cave. In addition, daylight shines through an open-air opening with a diameter of four or five meters at the top of the cave.
Even human eyes can see things easily.
An Xier looked around twice and said in surprise: "This camp is not ordinary, it is not a temporary settlement, it is estimated that it has been operating for many generations.
The strange-faced tribes and Deter's settlements we visited are nothing like this place."
Gordon took a closer look and found that it was indeed as Ansel said.
The exit of the hot spring passage where they came in showed obvious signs of human expansion.
This will make the hot spring area inside the cave larger, provide sufficient heat, and make it easier to get water.
The luminous mosses on the cave walls should have been planted intentionally by the Beast Clan. They were evenly distributed and, together with the light from the campfire, dyed the cave a warm orange-red.
There were also signs that the edge of the open-air opening at the top of the cave had been blocked with ice and snow, and the Beastmen had reduced the size of the opening.
This ensures light and ventilation while avoiding excessive heat loss.
What surprised Gordon the most was the huge skeletons that could be found everywhere in the cave.
There is no doubt that these skeletons all belong to large monsters, and there are even bones of flying dragons among them. However, these powerful creatures eventually became the spoils of the Beast Clan.
The most eye-catching thing is the giant skull under the open opening.
The sharp scimitar-shaped crown points straight to the sky, like a mighty totem pole. It can also serve as a defense to prevent creatures such as the winter pterosaur from flying in through the cave entrance.
"What's that skull is? It looks a bit like a Monoceratops? But it shouldn't be that. A Monoceratops isn't that big, and its structure is different." Gordon asked Herta curiously.
Heta tilted his head and stared at the skull for a while, then took his notes back from Ansel and looked through them to confirm.
"It should be the skull of an Ice Fish Dragon. The problem is, it's too big?" She said in disbelief: "Based on the size, the Ice Fish Dragon should have been more than 30 meters long when it was alive."
".That's a really big fish."
What does it mean to be a 30-meter-long ichthyosaur? Gordon couldn't help but think of the green water dragon he encountered in the river of the Kulbutios wetland.
If Az were here, he would probably faint from excitement.
The reconnaissance team excitedly described to their tribesmen how Gordon and his team had easily hunted the Bullosaurus. More than a dozen members of the Beast Clan gathered around them excitedly.
He twisted his fat belly, and I didn't know whether he was dancing or saying hello.
Two of them were so considerate that they handed a piece of thick fur to Heta, who was only wearing a wet single piece of clothing.
"Thank you."
After Heta put on the fur that looked like mammoth skin, he squatted down and started communicating with the group of little guys.
Gordon and the other man didn't want to disturb them, so they just stood there.
Suddenly, Gordon felt someone tugging at the hem of his armor. He looked down and found a beastman standing beside his legs, raising a small paw towards him.
Gordon subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched palms with it.
This slightly childish behavior made Ansher's eyelids jump, but the beast-entangled creature was very happy.
After jumping a few times on the spot, he took out a piece of smoked dried meat from his furry cloak and held it in front of Gordon.
Gordon couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so after taking the jerky, he returned another piece and took some food back.
The beast-claw held the food and sniffed it. It seemed that it liked the smell of this dry food very much and twisted its fat body happily.
Two more members of the Beast Clan came over, holding up some animal bones, ores, dried meat and other miscellaneous things, and also wanted to exchange them with Gordon.
Gordon spread his hands to indicate that there was nothing left.
The two beast-entangled creatures suddenly collapsed as if they were struck by lightning. They fell to the ground and rolled around like little children.
"What's going on?" Gordon couldn't help but ask Ansel.
"Who am I asking you to ask me?"
Heta, who was communicating with the Beast Clan over there, noticed the situation here and turned around, "The Beast Clan likes to barter, don't underestimate their knowledge and intelligence.
Food for food, if you are willing to give out good things, they will also give you treasures in exchange."
"Really?" Ansel raised his eyebrows.
After thinking about it, he took out an ancient secret medicine from his bag.
Gordon Pork Chop and Hertha both had an expression of "As expected of you". If this thing was placed in the Old Continent, it could be sold at a very astonishing price.
Even in the New World, where high-quality medicinal materials are relatively easy to obtain, they still require the services of highly skilled pharmacists or alchemists to make them, and the prices are still high.
Its small size makes it portable and easy to take. In addition, its efficacy is much stronger than that of ordinary recovery medicines. It is no exaggeration to say that it is half of your life that you carry with you.
Heta briefly explained to the Beast Clan the effect and value of the ancient secret medicine. Given the size of the Beast Clan, one portion of the secret medicine could be divided into two or three portions.
When injured during hunting, the Beast Clan, who had no medical means except to find healing honey bugs, rejoiced and ran away in all directions, each to get the treasures worth the transaction.
The few who had originally gathered around Heta, talking to each other, all ran away.
"Have you learned any key information?" Ansel asked.
Heta stood up with a smile and said, "The social structure of the Beast Clan is very special. They don't have a clear leader like the Strange Face Clan or the Detel.
They usually act in small groups, which is quite similar to hunters.
The loose social structure makes it difficult for their ethnic groups to grow and develop, and it is also difficult to pass on their history, but they still live a good life.
From what this group of orcs said, it seemed that they were the only orc tribe on this plain, with a total population of only about fifty.
As for the establishment of diplomatic relations, it went smoothly. They are willing to cooperate with powerful hunters and have promised not to actively attack our transport team. "
Anxier nodded, "That's fine, now the mission is complete. Is it necessary to continue the cooperative hunting?"
"We've already agreed, so let's play with them for a while." Gordon crossed his arms and said, "The reason they proposed cooperative hunting is probably to show us their strength.
Mutual understanding provides a foundation for cooperation.”
"Row."
At this time, those members of the Beast Clan who had gone to get the treasures also came back one after another.
Gordon took a quick glance and saw several valuable things.
Brilliant crystals, restrained dragon bones, leather from unknown monsters, and more.
Of course there are also useless ones, such as half of a brightly colored eggshell.
"How come there are still living things? What kind of creature is that?" Ansel pointed at a beast-clan and asked Heta.
It was a beautiful creature that seemed to appear only in dreams. The rainbow light emanating from its body kept changing like the aurora, and was extremely gorgeous.
However, it looked a bit pitiful at the moment, with several tassel-like tentacles held in the claws of the beast, making it look like a big kite being dragged.
Heta frowned. "It's a creature I've never seen before. It looks like a jellyfish and can float and fly in the air. Maybe it's a creature similar to the Flying Eboshi or the Moon-Watching Jellyfish?"
"Then this one, it's pretty, take it home as a pet."
Ps.
In the game, it seems that you have to catch Yueyu Tianmu before you can exchange with the Beast Clan? (Actually, I haven't caught her orz)
