If a tribal leader with high status and high self-esteem heard this sentence, he would probably be furious and feel that the other party disrespected him, even if the other party didn't know that the earth house was built by a tribal leader.
But Yuan Zhan's self-esteem obviously didn't grow in such a place. When he heard the snake man's question, his mind lit up, and an idea popped up instantly.
Isn't Momo thinking about how the tribe will communicate with other tribes in the future and learn more about each other's internal situation
There are so many Xiran warriors in Jiuyuan, and some warriors can develop the ability to control the soil once their divine blood is stimulated. Even if they can't, the Jiuyuan people who often build cities and houses and make stone bricks know how to make houses.
If he sent a team of people to each tribe to help them build houses, wouldn't he be able to inquire about the internal situation of the other tribe, exchange good things, and leave a good impression on the other tribe
Yuan Zhan decided to ask his priest if this is feasible later.
But before that, he planned to negotiate the deal first.
"I want to see what you can exchange first." Yuan Zhan said plainly.
"Then you come with me." The snake man turned around, he came out to find these two people. Others didn't pay attention, but he observed secretly that these two were the leaders of the group, and there were three people who stopped outside at that time, and only these two were inside the house. Among these two people.
"Wait a minute, we're still hungry, we'll go find you after we finish eating."
The snake man turned his head, his expression was a little numb, "Do you want prey? Come here, we have it, you can pick a few of them and go back."
Zhengchou didn't know what to exchange, when he heard that the snake people also had wild animals, Yan Mo immediately left the bunch of favorites, pulled Yuan Zhan and followed the snake man away.
There are two tents on the site of the snake people. Except for this snake man, the other snake people stayed in the tent and did not come out.
Yan Mo found that the snake man moved a little slowly and lazily, as if he hadn't slept enough or just woke up.
"Are you guys going to hibernate?" Yan Mo couldn't help asking curiously.
"No." The snake man didn't feel offended or intruded on his privacy, he replied dumbly, "I heard that it used to be, maybe the ancestors were dug out and eaten during hibernation, and then everyone stopped hibernating. "
Yan Mo, "...it's really not easy."
"Yeah." The snake man said with a bit of complaint: "Although we don't hibernate, our actions will always become slow when we come to cold places in winter. That’s fine, but our patriarch wants us to come both times.”
"It's still cold here? Then you should really visit our place. The snow hasn't melted yet."
The snake man looked back sympathetically, "You are so pitiful, no wonder you can get a house out so quickly. We can't live in a house, we all live in the crypt, we don't want a second floor as high as yours, see if you can help us build a house underground Dig one more layer and leave one on the ground."
Yan Mo looked at Yuan Zhan, who was the one who built houses and dug holes.
Yuan Zhan nodded, "How much depth do you want? Do you have any special requirements?"
The snake man cheered up, "Can I make a request? That's great, wait a minute, I'll ask someone else."
With a flick of its tail, the snake slid into a tent.
Yan Mo looked at the long and thick snake tail, and wanted to see if his body temperature was really low. Half of the snake people are snakes, so they should have inherited at least half of the snake's genes. He especially wanted to see this A male does not really have two and a half reproductive organs.
It's a pity that although the snake people are naked, their reproductive organs are obviously hidden under the scales, and others can't see them if they want to see them.
The slaves of the snake people secretly watched them as they worked.
The snake man brought a lot of slaves, but there were not many goods, only some bundled fur and bones could be seen.
Yan Mo was a little disappointed. Fortunately, bones were also one of the key items he wanted to collect this time. He needed a lot of bones to learn bone refining. What Jiuyuan people and dwarves could provide was either not enough, or the variety was a little less.
Yan Mo was about to walk over to look at those bones carefully, when the snake man slipped out again.
"Everyone has agreed that the size should be the same as the one you made. The ground floor and the basement floor. The underground is required to be a little deeper, with ramps, and two entrances and exits on the ground floor. Some earth platforms like your door."
Yuan Zhan said bluntly: "Yes. I'll make it when the time comes, and you can watch it and make some changes."
"That's great. What do you want in exchange? The skins and bones? If you want, I can give you all."
Yan Mo asked, "You only have these goods?"
"Not only." The snake man hesitated, "Because the trade fair doesn't start until tomorrow, we haven't brought out the goods yet. In this way, when you finish the earthen house and the crypt, we will take out the goods, and you can choose whatever you want. "
Yan Mo thought that the snake people hid all the goods in the tent.
The snake man slid to the other side again, and casually pointed to an open space guarded by slaves, "There are wild beasts we hunted on the road, some of them are still alive, you can let the slaves catch them if you like."
There were quite a few half-dead animals lying on the open space over there, not as many as the Morgan booth, but there were nearly twenty of them, but all of them were injured.
Yan Mo glanced at it casually at first, but after the glance, he quickly turned his head and stared at it again and again.
"A Zhan, let's go, I'm hungry."
"Okay." Yuan Zhan could hear that his priest's voice seemed a little trembling.
At this time, Yan Mo had nothing else in his eyes, only the nearly twenty beasts. No, perhaps it is correct to say that there is only one dog-like fox-like animal with a big tail and thick fur in his eyes.
The snake man didn't see Yan Mo's strangeness, Yan Mo was also suppressing himself, the surprise came too suddenly, he was afraid that he might be wrong.
The slaves knelt down and saluted the snake man.
Yan Mo walked into the open space, went straight to the dying raccoon dog, squatted down, and stroked its tail.
The raccoon weakly turned its head down. It probably wanted to escape, but it couldn't even stand up on its limbs.
Yan Mo plucked a weed from the tail of the raccoon dog that was withered and yellow, with blackened stems and a small half of dried grain ears. His hands were steady, but his heart was trembling.
It looked like it from a distance just now, but he wasn't sure. Now that it was in his hand, it felt more like it, but because the appearance was slightly different from what he remembered, he suddenly couldn't be sure.
Is this wild rice? Or is it just a dogtail grass that was taken to make a nest? After all, for animals, as long as they can be used to make nests, it does not matter whether it is wild rice or foxtail.
He is actually not familiar with rice, only a medicinal wild rice, because it has a medicinal name, he has carefully learned about this plant.
And medicinal wild rice has no medicinal effect, just because it has been in the wild for a long time, has experienced various disasters and natural selection of the environment, and has strong resistance to rice diseases and insect pests. It is an important genetic resource for rice breeding and improved varieties. It is called medicinal.
Is this withered, yellow and almost rotten plant the wild rice he thought it was
Fortunately, he has a guide!
—Inquiry objects, plants, belong to the scope of the second guideline. To inquire about this kind of plant, a brief introduction needs +5 scum points, and a detailed introduction needs +50 scum points. You can choose one of the two kinds of introductions, please complete within five seconds Decide.
In order to be sure, Yan Mo chose a brief introduction first.
- Wild rice strains, perennial aquatic herbaceous plants. The shelled fruit is edible, the amylose content of the fruit is high, the gel consistency is hard, and it can be full. The plants are more resistant to humidity, heat, strong light and cold, and the rice yield is low. The plants can be improved.
"Mo? Do you want to eat this beast?" Yuan Zhan couldn't understand it. The fur of this beast looked okay, but it was too small and thin, and there probably wasn't much meat after skinning it. How could Mo take a fancy to it? Or is there something special about this beast
Yan Mo stood up, and stuffed the plant into his pocket without compromising, "Oh, I see that it has nice fur."
The snake man said kindly: "The meat of this kind of beast is not very tasty. If you want to eat meat, you might as well choose those few."
Yan Mo turned his head and smiled, "Okay, Ah Zhan, you can choose two at will, and I want this one too. By the way, I don't know how to call you yet. My name is Mo, and you can call me A Mo."
The snake man also responded with a stiff smile, "My name is Bai Li, and I have a pear tree at the entrance of the tribe's cave."
Yan Mo guessed from the snake man's answer that he probably chose his name. The surname is Bai, maybe it really has something to do with Baixi City.
Yuan Zhan noticed Yan Mo's movement of putting away the weeds, but he turned his head to pick the wild beasts without saying anything.
Yan Mo walked up to the snake man and chatted with him cordially, "Bai Li, did you catch all these beasts on the road?"
"yes."
"I think the fur of that raccoon dog is not bad, where did you catch it?"
"You call them raccoons? We call them thick-haired raccoons. There are many such beasts in the valley where we live and nearby. If you like their fur, we can hunt more. You can come here to exchange with us in autumn. .”
"Is this raccoon also caught near your tribe?"
"No, the ones caught near the tribe have already been eaten on the way. They were all caught on the way to Morgan."
"Then can you recall where this raccoon was probably caught? Do you still remember where it is?"
No matter how unresponsive the snake man was, he could feel Yan Mo's abnormality, "You want this raccoon dog because of its fur, right?"
Yan Mo also knew that he was in a hurry, this would not be conducive to him finding out the habitat of the raccoon dog and then finding the wild rice. If the snake man is more cunning, he can use this to raise the transaction price and make Jiuyuan suffer a lot.
But rather than spending a lot of time looking for the habitat of the raccoon dog and looking for wild rice, Yan Mo would rather suffer a little loss in this transaction. And if the wild rice is really found, it is worthwhile for Yuan Zhan to build ten houses for nothing for the snake man!
With such a big discovery on the first day, coupled with the bamboo he saw before, Yan Mo is even more looking forward to the following trade fair. Is this some kind of leak
After thinking about it, Yan Mo took out the withered yellow wild rice plant from his pocket, "You are right, what I want is not raccoon dogs, but this kind of weed."
The snake man stretched out his hand, and Yan Mo handed him the wild rice.
"May I ask you what you'd do with this weed?"
Yan Mo decided to show a little sincerity, "Have you seen the ears of grain on this weed? There will be a small fruit growing in it, which people can eat."
"Huh? Can this be eaten?" The snake man seemed surprised.
A slave guarding the wild beasts suddenly interjected, "My lord, it's really edible. I've seen those birds come here in autumn to peck the seeds of these weeds."
Yan Mo was taken aback for a moment, then elated. This slave also knows wild rice!
The snake man was not angry when he was interrupted, and turned his head to ask: "Then have you eaten?"
The slave shook his head, "Someone tasted it, and said it was tasteless and dry. It was powdery in the mouth, not easy to bite, and the grains were too small. To eat this, you have to peel off the outer layer of hard skin, which is troublesome. Everyone also I didn't get it to eat."
The snake man looked at Yan Mo with sympathy, "Is there a shortage of food in your place?"
Yan Mo took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, our tribe is in the upper reaches of the big river, where the weather is cold, winter almost takes up half of the year, and there is very little to eat. We used to have this kind of weeds there, but we ate them all. Haven't seen it for years."
He probably felt that Yan Mo was more honest, and the snake man also told the truth: "We have a lot of this kind of weeds in our place. We have this kind of grass everywhere in the lowlands and beside the stream."
Yan Mo was jealous, these snake people really didn't know they were in Jinshan, "Can you take us to dig some? You don't need to go to your tribe, just go to the place where this kind of weed grows nearby. I want to take it back and plant it. In the future, there will be more to eat, even if people don’t eat it, it can be used to attract birds.”
Yuan Zhan picked up two more fleshy beasts and sent Ding Ning and Ding Fei to the diagonally opposite side, while he walked back to Yan Mo.
The snake man was full of sympathy for the boy in front of him and the people from Jiuyuan. Although these people were well dressed, their food was really bad. "You have also heard that the seeds of this weed are not tasty, and it is troublesome to get them. If you need them, we also have some fruit trees, which can bring you fruits in autumn. Those are much more delicious."
"Thank you. I am looking forward to the fruits you can bring in autumn, but I also want these weeds. We can still plant them in spring."
The snake man nodded without hesitation, and waved to the slave who had just interrupted, "Are there any weeds like that around here? If so, take them to dig some."
The slave said in embarrassment: "My lord, there is no one around here. We have caught that thick fur raccoon for several days, and it has been kept until now because the meat is not good. The place where the weeds grow is five or six days away from here." the journey."
"So, when this spring fair is over, can we go with you?" Although Yan Mo desperately wanted to get the wild rice, he could only endure it at this moment.
The snake man looked at him sympathetically again, "It seems that you are really short of food." It went to the point where even a weed would not be let go.
"yes."
Probably felt that the Jiuyuan people were too pitiful, and this kind of wild grass was worthless to the snake people. Bai Li didn't intend to exchange the whereabouts of the wild grass, and readily agreed to Yan Mo's request.
Bai Li was easy to talk, but Yan Mo didn't want to take advantage of him. When Yuan Zhan got them out of the earth house and the crypt, he directly told Bai Li that this earth house would be given to them as a thank you for their willingness to take them to find weeds.
Bai Li and the other snake people were very moved. They made a lot of demands on the crypt just now. Although they only lived for half a month, who wouldn't want to live more comfortably
"Wait!" The more satisfied the snake men were with the crypt, the less willing they were to take advantage of such a big advantage. Another snake man called Yan Mo and the two together, and opened their mouths together with Bai Li.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan's eyes widened just as they were about to refuse. What did they see? !
Yan Mo's world view collapsed again!
Such a handsome and gloomy snake man can open his mouth so wide!
This magnitude has exceeded the size of their skulls, okay
Their mouths didn't even open
No, it's cracked, the bottom half of their head has changed dramatically from the jaw! The mouth opened so wide that Yan Mo wanted to arrest the snake man and study it.
How handsome he was originally, now looks terrible.
Yan Mo praised him for not yelling in fright, and Yuan Zhan stood firm, he didn't feel that the snake man had any attacking intentions.
Yan Mo was still wondering why the snake people opened their mouths so wide, when they saw an even more unbelievable scene.
Pile after pile of dried fruits, dried meat, and things that looked like snake sloughs emerged from the snake men's mouths.
Yan Mo looked at the body shape of the snake people, and then at the pile of goods on the ground, but couldn't figure out how these goods could be hidden in their bodies.
The snake people spit out more and more goods, and soon filled half of the lobby on the first floor.
The snakeman's slaves seemed to be used to this, and they were not surprised at all, and they came forward to sort the goods very skillfully, and put them on the earthen platform at the entrance of the store.
Bai Li finished spitting out the goods, closed his mouth, and returned to his original state in a second. He still had the same dull expression on his face and said to Yan Mo, "See if there is anything you like. You can choose whatever you want."
"Your bloodline ability is controlling space?" Yan Mo didn't know he asked.
"Ah? Oh!" Bai Li nodded, "If you say that our sacred-blood warriors are born with the ability to swallow a lot of things and spit them out completely, that is what you mean by manipulating the space."
Yan Mo patted himself on the face. If he had known this, he wouldn't have to trouble Jiufeng for a trip. The storage space may be amazing in his original world, but in this world it may really be just an uncommon ability , he can completely pretend that manipulating space is also one of his bloodline abilities, anyway, Yuan Zhan and Jiuyuan people already think so.
