Chapter 769: Is the air quite fresh?

One by one, they looked at the tent made of precious animal hide, not knowing whether they felt envy or admiration.

Thus, in just a moment, two 'hao' rumors came from outside the Northern Land Tribe's camp and began spreading throughout the trading area.

The quiet place that Wu Yue and Yuan Lang had both chosen also became lively as the news spread.

From time to time, Beastfolk would come over in twos and threes, pretending to just pass by.

But each of those small glances lingered on the standing tent.

Damn it, I don't know which super tribe's spoiled brat this is.

The animal hide curtain at the tent's entrance blocked everyone's prying eyes.

On the cleared ground before the tent, a thick grass mat was laid, and atop it lay a whole piece of thick-furred animal hide.

Just one look made it feel extremely warm.

At this moment, a petite pure-human female with snow-white skin sat on the edge of the mat.

Her slender white fingers gripped a wooden spoon about forearm-length, stirring in the pot.

The rich, fresh aroma of the meat broth spread out continuously with the spoon's stirring.

The golden corn cakes at the edge of the small stove also gave off a sweet fragrance as the fire heated them.

And not far from the fire pit.

Yuan Lang kept taking cured animal meat from the basin and carefully skewering it onto wooden sticks.

Then he placed them beside the fire to roast.

The distinctive domineering aroma of the roasted meat quickly spread throughout this small clearing.

At this moment, Da Lu, who had received orders from the clan chief, was also standing nearby, frantically swallowing saliva.

So fragrant, so fragrant!

In the corner of his eye, he saw the half-beast's chubby belly.

At this moment, waves of hungry 'gurgle' sounds kept coming.

The chubby bear-beast half-beast's round face instantly flushed red.

Wu Yue smiled at the corners of her eyes: 'Da Lu, sit down and try our tribe's roasted meat.'

'See how it differs from your Northern Land Tribe.'

Captivated by the aroma, Da Lu could no longer hold back his shyness.

He sat directly on the ground and eagerly took the skewer she handed over.

Ah, he took a big bite.

The first bite only made his lips feel slightly numb.

Then came the tender smoothness of the meat and an indescribable fragrance.

He ate while staring intently at the Beastfolk still roasting meat.

All they saw was him taking string after string of meat from the basin.

Just before it was done, he carefully pinched some powder from another jar and sprinkled it onto the meat.

In the next moment, that domineering aroma he couldn't describe spread out.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

He had never eaten such delicious roasted meat before.

No bitterness of salt, only the roasted meat and the fragrance of that mysterious powder.

His not-so-large eyes fixed firmly on the jar beside Yuan Lang's hand.

He must obtain this powder by trading with these two honored guests.

Without their knowledge, the Northern Land Tribe's Beastfolk guards even came out to maintain order for a moment.

Otherwise, those drawn by the scent could suck the air out of this clearing.

After eating and drinking their fill, Da Lu conveyed the opinions of the clan chief and the grand shaman.

There were too many items in the storage cave to conveniently move out.

But they will organize the tribe's males tonight to clean the waste inside the camp.

They guaranteed that when the two entered the camp tomorrow, it would be a completely new sight.

After a moment's thought, Wu Yue finally nodded and agreed.

The environment was a bit harsh, but for the precious medicinal herbs, she could endure.

Thoughtful Da Lu also arranged several Beastman Warriors to specifically guard their tent and belongings.

The next day, the sky had not yet brightened.

In the Northern Land Tribe's camp, the curtain of an animal-hide tent was lifted.

The patrolling Beastfolk, upon seeing the familiar chubby figure, all stopped to greet him.

Da Lu was wrapped in thick animal hide and held a piece of dark, braised meat in his hand.

He gnawed on it while quickly jogging toward the outside of the camp.

When the sky brightened, Wu Yue opened her eyes in Tongzi's noisy wake-up service.

"What time is it?"

Tongzi's round belly was tied with a small apron that grossly mismatched its size.

It was frying data eggs on the system stove.

The little guy, taking a break from his busy schedule, rolled his eyes contemptuously and said, 'The outside trading has already started a while ago.'

As for the time, it's probably around just before nine in the morning.

That bear-beast half-beast from the Northern Land Tribe has been waiting outside your tent since before dawn.

Upon hearing that Da Lu had already arrived, Wu Yue instantly became energized.

They picked up the fur garment draped to the side and put it on.

They braided a cute little braid for themselves.

Only then did they lift the animal-skin curtain and walk out.

Yuan Lang was busy beside the fire.

The food in the pot was bubbling, giving off a fresh, sweet aroma.

Seeing her come out, Daru, who had been leaning against the stove warming himself, excitedly stood up.

"Honored guests, I have come to invite you to go inside our settlement."

The chieftain and the grand shaman have already agreed to exchange items from the storage cavern for salt.

What he didn't say was that the small can of salt he had received from Wu Yue yesterday had been completely divided up by the chieftain and the grand shaman themselves.

Not a bit was left for him.

Heaven knows, looking at that empty bamboo jar, his sorrow was so great!

Thinking of his coarse salt jar that even a dog licking it would frown upon.

Daru gritted his teeth and took out a wooden box from his bosom.

The box looked like a bargain, as if it had been carved directly from a solid piece of wood.

And it looked rough, having not been polished.

"This is the herb that A Mu left for me; taking it can quickly boost the beast god's power."

"There are also rumors that eating this herb can let females give birth to healthy beastfolk offspring."

Wuyue:...

Kid, rumors are rumors precisely to fool people like you.

"Host, I just scanned it."

This herb indeed can boost the beast god's power of beastman warriors.

But it does not have the ability to let females give birth to beastfolk offspring.

They scratched the waist where the apron had left a red mark.

"So either this chubby bear is fooling you."

"or he himself has been fooled."

Wu Yue looked at Da Lu: "I believe the effect of this herb in front, but as for the latter effect of giving birth, I don't believe it."

So what do you want to exchange this herb for with us?

Daru touched his own cowlick that had risen due to nervousness.

"I want to exchange this herb for some salt."

They glanced around furtively before continuing, "I want to exchange it for myself."

Wu Yue did not ask why.

They turned and went straight into the tent.

Moments later, she was seen holding several bamboo barrels full of salt.

"Will... will it be too much?"

Good fellow, he exclaimed, "Good fellow!"

Having obtained what he wanted, he foolishly smiled and sat squatting by the stove, continuing to stoke the fire.

They looked on, drooling, as Yuan Lang and Wu Yue ate.

Afterwards, they led them into the settlement of the northern tribe.

"The chieftain has already arranged for the slaves to clean up all the waste inside the settlement."

Having said that, he took a deep breath and said, "You smell it—doesn't the air feel fresh?"
