Chapter 237

Sure enough.

The next second, the young hunter's footsteps stopped abruptly, and then he turned around, widening his eyes:

"A large amount of ice marrow rewards, and becoming a guest of honor of the Enduring Zhenbing tribe?"

Whether it was the former or the latter, it was enough to make people swallow hard and be moved by it.

Ice marrow is the most recognized "currency" in the Northern Realm. With a large amount of ice marrow, there is basically nothing that cannot be bought.

And the Enduring Zhenbing tribe is the head of the three large tribes in the Northern Realm. If you become a guest of honor of the Enduring Zhenbing tribe, it is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.

"Yes," the Sinuofu guard nodded and said.

"Are there any restrictions on participating in the challenge?"

"No, anyone can participate, regardless of gender, age, or race. As long as you are willing, you can go to challenge."

"Don't need to pay anything?" the young hunter couldn't help asking again.

"No need," the older Sinuofu guard saw the thoughts in the young hunter's heart, "That is the Enduring Zhenbing tribe; what else could they plot against you?"

"If you feel you have the ability, or are not sure if you have this ability, our tribe has now set up a test point in the center of the camp, taking out the only piece of Enduring Zhenbing our tribe possesses for you to test."

"Although that is only a small piece of Enduring Zhenbing, it definitely cannot compare to that Enduring Zhenbing sword, but it happens to be able to let you try your level. After all, if you can't even lift our tribe's Enduring Zhenbing, let alone pull out the ice-in-sword, you can avoid a wasted trip."

After hearing this, the young hunter's breathing had become heavy.

He didn't ask anything else, just nodded heavily, and then entered the Sinuofu camp with the snow dog.

If there are no accidents, he should head straight to the test point set up by the Sinuofu clan.

Not to mention him, even Gao De was moved after hearing these words.

A large amount of ice marrow rewards.

Although the specific quantity was not mentioned, with the status of the Enduring Zhenbing tribe, using "large amount" already, it definitely wouldn't be too little.

But it was just being moved, and he wouldn't really take action.

One is that Gao De knows very well that Enduring Zhenbing weapons have always been exclusive weapons for Ice-Born. If someone can really pull out the Enduring Zhenbing sword, it must also be an Ice-Born bloodline, not an outsider like him.

Although he has 【Adaptation】, it is not impossible to adapt to the cold of Enduring Zhenbing weapons.

But according to what Chieftain Ximo said, Gao De can be sure that with his current 100.1% cold resistance and primary Ice-Blessed Body, he is still far from being able to withstand the cold of Enduring Zhenbing weapons.

That is a special thing that will only be formed in an extreme low-temperature environment of minus one hundred degrees.

At least you have to be promoted to an intermediate Ice-Blessed Body to have the possibility of challenging Enduring Zhenbing.

And he is still far from this realm.

Because since evolving into a primary Ice-Blessed Body, the improvement of Gao De's cold resistance has completely entered a stagnant state.

The reason is also very simple: the environment of the Northern Realm can no longer cause any stimulation to his body, and there is no need to adapt.

The second is that for Gao De, the most important thing at the moment is still planting trees.

His current position is still far from the Enduring Zhenbing tribe.

If he passes by to watch the fun, it is okay, but it is impossible to spend a lot of time rushing to the Enduring Zhenbing tribe just to join in the fun.

Which is lighter and which is heavier, Gao De still distinguishes clearly.

While pondering this in his heart, the not-so-long line finally reached him.

The two Sinuofu guards guarding the gate frowned slightly and looked at Gao De.

Gao De's identity and temperament as an outsider are indeed too conspicuous.

And the Northern Realm natives have always disliked outsiders, so it's no wonder they have such an expression.

But dislike is dislike, the two guards did not make things difficult for Gao De.

They simply asked Gao De two questions, including origin and purpose.

Although Gao De could understand their words, the two guards were not Ice-Born and had not mastered the ability of Tongtong Language, so they could not understand his Common language.

In the end, Gao De barely answered the two guards' questions through gestures, and under the somewhat impatient attitude of the two, he was released.

"Wanting to make a fortune in our Northern Realm but not learning Aisi language, outsiders are just arrogant." When entering the Sinuofu tribe's camp, Gao De heard the muttering of others in the line behind him.

Although it was complaining about him, Gao De's heart stirred.

It seems that it is indeed necessary to learn Aisi language... After all, 【Tongtong Language】 can only let him understand Aisi language, but cannot let him speak it.

This kind of language barrier is really inconvenient for doing many things in the Northern Realm.

And, it can be foreseen that after planting Yujia Te Xila, for him, the Northern Realm is almost equivalent to a "base," and he will inevitably have a lot of time to live in the Northern Realm for a long time.

Then mastering Aisi language is even more necessary.

What's more, for Gao De, learning and mastering a language is actually not very difficult.

First of all, his memory is extremely outstanding.

Another is that with the assistance of 【Tongtong Language】, under the premise of being able to fully understand Aisi language, the difficulty of learning Aisi language has undoubtedly dropped by several levels.

Finally, what he is in contact with now are Northern Realm people who speak Aisi language. In this environment, mastering Aisi language is even simpler.

Just like in the previous life, some people who couldn't learn English well in the country learned it very quickly after being placed abroad for a period of time.

While thinking, Gao De walked without stopping and officially walked into the Sinuofu camp.

Between the dense tents in the camp, there are wide walkways, which is convenient for people to travel back and forth, which shows that it was specially planned when the camp was set up.

Gao De noticed that thick animal skin curtains were hung at the entrances of many tents, which was to prevent the cold wind from invading.

And around the tents, some daily necessities were piled up.

Small tents are the residences of Sinuofu tribespeople.

But there are also some larger tents, with patterns drawn on the animal skin curtains hanging at the entrance; those are the "shops" set up by the Sinuofu clan people themselves.

Gao De looked around while walking.

The valuable things on him, excluding two drops of first-circle ice marrow, are some magic plants brought from Mount Dandong, nine first-circle Ice Soul Stones, and two first-circle ice snow wolf furs.

Although he killed ice snow wolves after following Baluke, one is that he was focused on "collecting heads" and didn't care about retaining the integrity of the fur... the second is that he didn't have the craft and time to cut off a complete piece of fur... the third is that his own weight was already close to the limit, and he had to reserve some food, so it was definitely impossible to add anything.

So he didn't get extra ice snow wolf fur.

This is actually why the prices of ley line creature materials remain high.

The difficulty of hunting ley line creatures themselves is one thing, and the difficulty of collecting materials and transporting them back to the city is also one of the important factors for high prices.

Gao De walked on the main road of the camp, did not enter any Sinuofu clan shop, but walked to the end and came to a corner specially opened by the Sinuofu clan for people to set up stalls.

This is the liveliest place in the entire camp.

Not only will Sinuofu tribespeople set up stalls here, but many people from other tribes can also find an empty place to set up stalls here without paying any fees.

These stalls are very simple; just find an empty space, then spread an animal skin, and put out the supplies you want to sell.

And these stalls are extremely primitive barter trading forms.

The stall owner puts out his items, and if you like them, you go up and ask what he needs, and if you have it, you can exchange.

Or take the initiative to take out your own things to exchange with the other party, and if the other party is willing to exchange, the transaction can also be successful. Undoubtedly, this trading method is very primitive and inefficient, but it is very suitable for the Northern Realm.

There is no unified regime in this place; it is a primitive tribal system, and the basic conditions for currency circulation do not exist.

Gao De swept his eyes, and the things placed on these stalls were also strange, mostly some specialties of the Northern Realm.

For example, some magic plants growing on the snowfield, some special ores, or materials of snowfield ley line creatures, mostly furs and bones, and specialties produced by various tribes.

Gao De walked around the stalls, and it was really as Baluke said, and he soon saw the auxiliary materials needed for the 【Wild Agility】 spell potion.

That was a stall of a young woman, who should be from the Sinuofu tribe.

Because according to the experience when lining up just now, most of the people who came from outside were men.

In the primitive environment of the snowfield, the strength and physical strength of men make them more suitable for going out.

Of course, if you have Ice-Born bloodline, there is no such gender distinction.

It's just that ordinary Ice-Born magic users rarely set up stalls in such places.

Moreover, people from outside tribes generally do not bring "worthless" things like magic plants.

Gao De squatted down and picked out two zero-circle magic plants from the items placed by the young woman: Ice Tooth Grass, Frost Face Flower.

Outside the Northern Realm, the market price of two zero-circle magic plants is about 6 gold.

But in the Northern Realm, the value of magic plants must be much lower.

And these two magic plants are eight or nine out of ten that the young woman happened to find when grazing outside and picked them up by the way.

For her, these two zero-circle magic plants can be said to have no practical value, that is, they are put out to try their luck.

So, seeing Gao De pick out these two magic plants, the young woman's face was visibly happy.

"Do you need these two herbs?" she asked.

Gao De nodded, then crossed his hands and asked in Common language at the same time: "What do you want to exchange for?"

The young woman naturally couldn't understand what Gao De said, but instantly understood that Gao De couldn't speak Aisi language, and guessed Gao De's question based on Gao De's gestures and the current situation.

"Food, or warm things are fine!" she said.

For Northern Realm people, food, fuel, and warm equipment are their eternal rigid needs.

Hearing this, Gao De thought for a moment, then took out a piece of snow wolf meat weighing about three pounds from his bag and handed it to the woman.

This was the food he cut from the killed snow wolf and left, and hadn't finished eating.

The woman took the piece of snow wolf meat, looked at it seriously, and after finding that the meat quality was top-notch, she nodded with satisfaction.

A simple transaction was completed.

A piece of wolf meat easily exchanged for two zero-circle magic plants.

This is hard to imagine outside the Northern Realm.

It can be seen that on the snowfield, for Northern Realm people, food is how precious a thing.

After the transaction was completed, Gao De did not leave immediately.

He took out a complete ice snow wolf skin from his bag, and at the same time made the same exchange gesture again, saying: "Learn Aisi language."

Gao De said this sentence in Aisi language, which was the syllable he secretly remembered when he heard people muttering behind him before.

The young woman was very clever and reacted immediately: "Do you mean to use this wolf skin to exchange for me teaching you Aisi language?"

Gao De nodded.

The young woman did not agree immediately, but first pointed to the fur in Gao De's hand: "Can I take a look?"

Gao De handed the ice snow wolf skin directly to her.

The young woman took the wolf skin, stroked it gently with her hand, and looked at it carefully, then her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Is this the fur of a first-circle ice snow wolf?"

Gao De nodded slightly.

For snow wolves, the higher the rank, the stronger the cold resistance of the fur.

So the fur of a first-circle ice snow wolf is still very valuable.

Clearly, the other party was moved.

However, she thought carefully for a while before opening her mouth softly: "I can teach you Aisi language, but I can't guarantee that I will definitely teach you. We have to set a duration."

"I can teach you for two months. Regardless of whether you learn it or not, when the two months are up, the transaction will be over. And I only have time after dark every day, but I can guarantee to teach you for at least two hours a day."

"And, after two months, we might have to migrate again... so two months is already very extreme."

"Do you think it's okay?"

Gao De thought for a moment and agreed.

Two months is too long for him.

According to Gao De's estimate, he should learn for about a week, and his Aisi language level should be enough to support him in the most basic daily communication.

The remaining proficient use does not need to spend extra time and energy to learn, and in daily communication, it will naturally become familiar slowly.

Seeing Gao De agree, the young woman became even happier.

"My name is Lana, and I live in that tent," she pointed to a small tent not far away and introduced to Gao De: "You can come to me tonight."

Gao De nodded and didn't ask for the wolf skin back.

The monk can run, but the temple cannot run; knowing the other party's "address," naturally there is no need to worry about her running away.

In fact, the reason Gao De looked for her, besides seeing that Lana was clever and a teacher should be smarter, was that he saw she was a Sinuofu tribesperson and lived here for a long time.

And as a young woman who came out to set up a stall, it is highly likely that the adult men in her family were not there or had an accident.

In Northern Realm tribes, men are the most important labor force in a family.

A family without adult men must live relatively poorly, and in this case, the willingness to accept the transaction is naturally higher.

And just as he thought, the transaction was reached very smoothly.

Subsequently, Gao De found the other two auxiliary materials needed for the 【Wild Agility】 spell potion at other stalls.

However, the remaining two auxiliary materials were both zero-circle ley line creature materials, so naturally, they could not be obtained at a cabbage price like magic plants.

Finally, Gao De took a big detour, first using a first-circle Ice Soul Stone to exchange for a complete frozen white fox that had been skinned at a hunter's place.

Then he divided the white fox into two, and then exchanged for the remaining two auxiliary materials from the two stall owners respectively.

With this, the materials for the 【Wild Agility】 spell potion were only missing the last main material: one-half ounce of Blue Butterfly Crystal Powder.

As a first-circle material, the probability of appearing on these small stalls is indeed not high.

However, in the "shops" opened by the Sinuofu clan themselves, there is still a chance to find it.

And the map that Gao De needs most is also only available in the "shops."
