"By the way." Hong, the prince of the elves, said: "You and Xiao Nuomi came to Lava Town, you shouldn't come to Lava Town just to see me, right?"
"Yes, I'm here to raise food. I wonder how much food is stored in Lava Town now?" Ye Tian said truthfully.
"Raising grain" Prince Hong of the Spirit Tribe was startled, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Where is there any excess grain in Lava Town now? The Ye family had some before, but they were all exchanged for spiritual stones by some unscrupulous traders. Now he is probably having a headache about food! "
"Isn't it?"
Ye Tian was surprised.
He really didn't expect that someone would be the first to buy the food. Then how would he explain it to Lord Mo and Lord Sword Master who were far away on the border
Xiao Nuomi, who knew Ye Tian's thoughts, pursed his lips: "Brother Hong! Can't you think of a way to spare some food for me and the young master to go back to work?"
"This..." Hong, the prince of the elves, looked embarrassed: "If you follow me, you will know whether what I am telling the truth is true."
Whoosh~~~!
Hong, the elf prince, immediately led his men and jumped from the treetops to the ground.
Ye Tian followed closely with Xiao Nuomi in his arms.
After landing.
He saw countless pairs of green eyes looking at him hidden in the woods and bushes, but none of them were hostile, and some were curious.
Prince Hong of the Elf clan said: "Master Ye, since we broke up in the slave trading market a few months ago, I actually took my clansmen not to go to Lava Town immediately, but to live here. Most of these clansmen are Slaves sold from the Ancient Tree Continent like to live in places with trees, so I didn't force them, but what I didn't expect was that the number would later increase, reaching a point where I couldn't even control them."
"Oh...then what do they eat?"
Ye Tian was curious.
Prince Hong of the Elf Tribe smiled: "This is what I'm going to say next. In fact, the Elf Tribe is called the people of the ancient trees. As long as there are trees, we will not starve to death. You see, the ones on the ground are like Fungi, wild beasts, and wild fruits on big trees are all what we eat to satisfy our hunger.”
"The most important thing is that we elves use the connection with the big trees to get enough water. This is something that you humans cannot match." Xiao Nuomi added.
"Not bad!" Hong Lian, the prince of the elves, nodded: "As long as there is water, we elves can go without eating any food for a year."
"I see!"
Ye Tian suddenly realized.
In fact, he had already guessed that the elves must have their own way of survival in the lava mountains. Otherwise, even if the Ye family came to help, the number of people would not be so large.
"Master Ye, look!" Hong, the elf prince, pointed to a pile of green grass and a small amount of wild fruits under a big tree in the distance: "These are our food. If you need it, I will I can prepare some for you.”
"These will definitely not work!" Ye Tian shook his head: "If they are transported back, they will be laughed to death. Strong humans will not eat fresh grass."
Even if he is willing to eat it, he will not take it back to Mojiacheng. This is a matter of face.
"Then I have no choice!" Hong, the prince of the Elf tribe, waved his hands helplessly: "How about Master Ye go to Lava Town and ask Ye Xiao, the head of the Ye family, to see if he can help."
"Well! That's all!"
Ye Tian nodded slowly.
suddenly.
He saw dozens of elven men digging holes with hoes in the low-lying land in the distance, as if they were burying something.
"Is this what they are?"
Ye Tian looked at the Elf Prince in confusion.
"Oh... We are going to bury the corpses of the red golden locusts we killed!" The Elf Prince smiled: "Otherwise, if you stay in the woods, it will easily attract other powerful monsters, which will be a disaster for us Elf Tribe."
"Brother Hong, it's such a waste for you to do this!" Xiao Nuomi said: "Did you know? The meat of the red golden locust tastes very fragrant after being grilled."
"Really?" Hong, the prince of the elves, was shocked when he heard this and looked at Ye Tian in confusion, hoping that Ye Tian could explain.
"It's a long story!" Ye Tian laughed sarcastically, and then briefly told the story of grilling the hind legs of the Red Golden Sky Locust at the south gate of Mojia City.
Hong, the prince of the elves, listened with bated breath.
When they heard that Ye Tian and Scholar Murong had broken through the shackles of cultivation by eating the flesh of the Red Gold Locust, they were so excited that they quickly ran towards the corpses of several Red Gold Locusts on the ground in the distance, and at the same time called their subordinates to collect firewood. .
Ye Tian looked at it and smiled: "Brother Hong, you have to work first. I'm taking Xiao Nuomi to Lava Town."
"Okay!" The Elf Prince Hong waved his hand without looking back. Obviously, he wanted to use the meat of the red golden locust to break through the shackles of the current legal realm.
Whoosh~~~!
After Ye Tian sent the little glutinous rice into Hunyuan Space, he vibrated the black wings on his back and flew into the sky, flying towards the lava town of Ye Mansion.
Lava Town has changed a lot after the Lava Giant incident. New buildings are located on the ground, making Ye Tian, who is flying in the sky, almost confused about the east, west and north.
But there was one thing he was happy about.
That is, Lava Town is more prosperous than before. In the market, you can see a large number of elves and humans doing business freely. It is bustling and crowded, and it is very lively.
As for the Ye family members, they played the role of maintaining order and shuttled among them wearing uniform official uniforms.
"Huh?" Ye Tian noticed Ye Xiao in the crowd, who was much fatter than a few months ago. At this time, he and several Ye family guards were collecting food at a temporary stall in the market.
But he is very easy-going and all transactions are fair.
Whoosh~~~!
Ye Tian lowered his flying altitude and landed directly next to Ye Xiao.
"What are you doing?" Several Ye family guards quickly stood in front of Ye Xiao.
"Master Ye?" Ye Xiao looked at Ye Tian who appeared in front of him. He was startled at first, and then quickly pushed away the few Ye family guards who were blocking him: "You are blind! You don't even know anyone. .”
Upon seeing this, several Ye family guards bowed their heads and quickly moved out of the way.
Ye Tian smiled and said: "Chief Ye, you are well and well!"
"Hey! Master Ye, please stop teasing me!" Ye Xiao glanced around: "Are you the only one going back to Lava Town?"
"Well, I have something serious to do with you." Ye Tian replied.
"Business?" Ye Xiao was stunned.
"This is not the place to talk. How about we find a quiet place to talk?" Ye Tiandao.
"Okay! Okay! Master Ye, come with me." Ye Xiao immediately took the lead and walked towards the [Tianxin Teahouse] on the right.
Ye Tian followed closely behind.
In the private room.
Elegant and quiet.
After Ye Xiao asked Ye Tian to sit down, he said, "Master Ye, you came to Lava Town in person, what do you want from me?"
"Food, I have orders from above to come to you to raise the food needed for one hundred thousand soldiers for a month~!" Ye Tian took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if the Ye family has so much food now?"
"Oh! Don't mention it. Maybe Master Ye, you came three days earlier and still have it, but now, all of them have been bought by the boss of [Corucopia Food Store] at a low price!" Ye Xiao sighed in annoyance, so confused that he didn't know. Where to start.
[Corucopia Food Store]
Ye Tian was stunned: "Why does this sound so familiar to me?"
"Of course you are familiar with it. He is from Mojia City. It is said to be an industry under the Sima family. We, the Ye family, cannot afford to offend!" Ye Xiao shook his head helplessly: "They are still in Lava Town now! At one pound per catty The price of spiritual stones is purchasing food.”
"Is it so cheap? Do you know who you will give it to after acquiring it?" Ye Tianlian asked.
If the acquisition was for the warriors on the border of Zhou Long Kingdom, then he had no choice but to tell Lord Sword Master the truth. If not, he wouldn't mind using his identity as a special envoy to get it back.
Ye Xiao shook his head: "I don't know why he went to a remote place like Lava Town to buy so much food, but according to the elves, they seem to want to sell it to the strong men in Guanghe County at a high price."
"Sold to Guanghe County?" Ye Tian was surprised: "Are you sure?"
"Not sure, I heard it from hearsay!" Ye Xiao sneered: "Otherwise, as a member of the Ye family, I can't put any pressure on the people of [Cornucopoia Grain Store]. Can you tell me the reason?"
"No need!" Ye Tian waved his hand slowly: "It's not good for you to come forward on this matter. I'll find out later when I go ask. By the way! Are the other members of the Ye family okay?"
"This... can only be said to be average, not very good. The red gold locust killed many members of our Ye family!" Ye Xiao took a sip of tea: "If the elves hadn't helped our Ye family, I'm afraid it would have been damaged. There will be more manpower.”
"Oh..." Ye Tian nodded.
This result was somewhat beyond his expectation.
It seems that saving the elf prince Hong a few months ago has invisibly given a great help to the Ye family.
Ye Xiao said: "In order to be grateful, I now allow all the Elf clan members to live in Lava Town and let them develop Lava Town together with the Ye family. As for the effect, Master Ye, you must have seen it too!"
"Yes, I saw it!"
Ye Tian smiled lightly, not knowing why he heard a sense of helplessness in Ye Xiao's words. Perhaps it was because the number and strength of the elves had grown so fast that Ye Xiao was afraid.
as expected.
Just listen to Ye Xiao continue to say: "Master Ye! There are elves in Lava Town now. I am not worried about the locust plague. I can handle it completely. But there is one thing. Now that you are here, I have to say that the elves are in Lava Town now." The number of towns may have exceeded 200,000. What if I can’t control it anymore? Do I need to report it to Lord Mo?"
"Aren't you able to control it well now?" Ye Tian shook his head: "Actually, you are overly concerned about the elves' rebellion. Their ability to become stronger is a deterrent to the demons, not us, do you understand? "
"What does Master Ye mean? When they reach a certain level of strength, we can find a way for them to join the Ancient Tree Continent and deal with the demons?" Ye Xiao looked around cautiously and whispered.
