Chapter 182: The Three Parties Assemble

When they drew near, they said they were Soldiers of the Suiren Clan, here to deliver news to the Baifeng Tribe: the Xuanyuan Clan also wished to attend this trade, so that the Baifeng Tribe could make preparations in advance; whether they agreed to the trade or refused, they had to be notified, to avoid problems arising on the day of the trade.

Only then did Baifeng understand the reason for the palpitation in his heart; it turned out his ancestor Xuanyuan was coming. Was this some kind of connection in the bloodline, or did this trade hold great significance for the future?

Baifeng agreed without hesitation, only feeling that he might not have brought enough supplies, so he wanted to turn back to bring more. The Soldiers of the Suiren Clan said it was unnecessary, because the journey was long and the Xuanyuan Clan had no time to prepare supplies; they could not trade for much, and this time was more about having an exchange, and if they wanted to trade, they could set another time.

Since that was the case, Baifeng did not turn back. At the same time, he invited these Soldiers to board the Boat and go to the trading point together. Such a long road would take them a long time to walk, and besides, since both sides were about to trade, it could be considered a relatively friendly state and not enemies, so giving them a ride was no big deal.

As for these people turning around to attack, Baifeng was not afraid in the slightest. A group of people who had never sat on a Boat before, swaying and bumping on it, could not possibly avoid seasickness; it would be good enough if they could stand up by then, so how could they have the ability to attack them?

The Soldiers of the Suiren Clan looked at each other, and in the end, they boarded the Boat quite embarrassedly. After all, the road was so long, why walk if you don't have to? Moreover, they also wanted to take a close look at what this big piece of wood from the Baifeng Tribe that could carry people was all about.

But perhaps this was the most wrong decision they had ever made in their lives. They had never even thought about the existence of seasickness, and they had never felt this kind of pain worse than death. They were dizzy and muddled all day long, and even when the Boat stopped, they still had to make a mess for the people of the Baifeng Tribe.

When they first got on the Boat, they were still very curious, running around lively to take a look. The people of the Baifeng Tribe did not stop them; what could a group of savages see by looking like that? They couldn't even figure out how the wood was joined together, let alone the purpose of the various parts on the Boat.

Before long, the Soldiers of the Suiren Clan began to have reactions. At first, they just felt a little dizzy and nauseous, but later they just lay on the deck, unwilling to get up. When they vomited, it was like a fountain, flowing all over the cabin, which truly disgusted the people of the Baifeng Tribe. Not only did the people of the Suiren Clan regret it, but the people of the Baifeng Tribe also regretted it a bit; this new Boat would have to be cleaned thoroughly again.

The Soldiers of the Suiren Clan did not know how they managed to hold on until the moment the Boat stopped, but even when it stopped, it was still swaying. They felt they didn't even have the strength to eat, and the heavy feeling in their stomachs seemed to be surging upward. In contrast, the people of the Baifeng Tribe were all used to it.

But now the people of the Baifeng Tribe could not let them off the Boat, as they were the ones who invited them on. And the few from the Suiren Clan were too embarrassed to say they wanted to get off; if they couldn't even endure a boat ride, what qualifications did they have to compare with the Baifeng Tribe? It was too shameful.

Baifeng could only persuade them that they would get used to it. When they returned last time, didn't the few children they brought also vomit until they were dizzy and confused on the first day? They got used to it later, and by the time they reached the tribe, they were already able to run around and play.

However, the Baifeng Tribe did not intend to give them a chance to adapt. The trading point was chosen by Baifeng and was relatively close to the Baifeng Tribe; the speed of the Boat going downstream was fast, and in fact, they would reach the trading point in another day. Letting them on the Boat would only increase their psychological fear of the Boat, rather than letting them adapt to it.

When they reached the location of the giant tree at the trading point, Baifeng stopped the Boat, and those Soldiers of the Suiren Clan hurriedly wanted to get off the Boat and go ashore. If Baifeng had arranged a small boat to send them to the shore, they would have planned to jump into the river and swim over.

There were still five days until the time for the trade, and the people of the Baifeng Tribe were not in a hurry. They had enough food, and they could afford to delay for these few days. Moreover, they were about to see their ancestor and idol, and Baifeng's mood was so excited that he could not calm down. He did not know how to treat Xuanyuan, but in all likelihood, it would not be much different from facing Baoxi.

Baoxi and Xuanyuan were still struggling on the road. They had miscalculated the time and were afraid they would be a day or two late for the agreed time, but fortunately, no compensation was needed for this time.

The people of the Xuanyuan Clan were still carrying those Tea Trees. Because they specifically chose larger ones when digging them up, it was very strenuous to carry them. Moreover, after the bumps along the way, the soil on the roots was almost gone, and they did not water them frequently enough. Under the scorching sun, the Tea Trees had basically withered, and it was feared that by the time they were handed over for Baifeng to see, these Tea Trees would have long since died.

However, Xuanyuan did not care. Anyway, this Tea Tree was not valuable, and he did not count on this wild tree to bring much benefit. If Baifeng liked it, it wouldn't be impossible to even give it to him, as long as they could start trading and open up the trade route.

After crossing the plain, they kept walking upstream along the Dahe. It was the first time Xuanyuan had walked so far, and his eyes did not stop for a moment, greedily looking at the distance the Sage had spoken of.

Finally, Baoxi saw a giant tree that reached the clouds, and next to it was the Boat parked by the Baifeng Tribe. However, this time Baoxi saw not only the three from last time, but also one more medium-sized Boat, which made Baoxi's mood even worse.

After returning to the tribe, he had arranged for his clansmen to make a Boat, but unfortunately, even knowing the shape and material of the Boat, they could not build one. Starting from shaving the wooden planks was a difficulty; they only had Stone Knives and Stone Axes in their hands, and the Artisans were not qualified to use Bronze ware, so the Suiren Clan's shipbuilding plan had ended before it even began.

Moreover, Baoxi also inferred from this that the economic strength of the Baifeng Tribe was ridiculously high; they actually had enough Iron to forge tools for the Artisans to build Boats.

All three parties had arrived, but they had not yet started to meet. Baoxi first went to find the campsite of their tribe's Soldiers, and he still had to find out from them what the attitude of the Baifeng Tribe was.

Upon learning that Baifeng was not only not disgusted but also very happy, Baoxi couldn't help but panic, but he still sent someone to notify the Xuanyuan Clan. Xuanyuan was currently looking for a place to set up their tribe's campsite.

Baoxi had originally planned to rob the Baifeng Tribe during this gathering, but he did not expect to meet the Xuanyuan Clan, so he had to put away this idea.
