After the banquet ended, Hua Kai asked Chief Tie Fa to send some people to move the goods. He followed Chief Tie Fa to the main tent, and the two of them began to discuss some of the Erdos Tribe's secrets.
"Only about 3000 people from the Crow Stallion Tribe escaped. They were picked up by the Huhan Tribe.
Now, the Crow Stallion Tribe has rebuilt a new tribe in the western part of Zhizhi Chanyu. Last year, when winter came, three Xiantian Realm warriors attacked my main tent! "Chief Tie Fa said.
Hua Kai finally understood the danger. Although the Erdos Tribe had gathered all the subordinate tribes of the Crow Stallion Tribe, the other nine tribes still supported the rebuilding of the Crow Stallion Tribe. They had no intention of recognizing the Erdos Tribe as a major tribe.
"What happened next?
How did Clan Leader Tie Fa defeat the enemy? "Hua Kai asked curiously.
"Three of our tribe's Banner Lords died, and all of our Qi Refining Realm warriors were heavily injured. I killed one Xiantian Realm warrior and injured another before they left. That day, our tribe lost more than 200 warriors." Chief Tie Fa's eyes were filled with hatred as he spoke.
"Do you know which tribe those three Xiantian Realm warriors were from?
What happened next? "Hua Kai asked.
"One of them was from the Huhan Tribe. He probably has something to do with the Huhan Tribe. This time, you brought so much food. Last year, the number of wolves in the grassland increased, and the sheep and cattle were often attacked by the wolves. This year, the number of livestock in the grassland will be greatly reduced. Many tribes will go hungry. This food can save at least a thousand people," Chief Tie Fa said.
"Wolves?
Our caravan seems to have seen the shadow of a wolf pack along the way! "Hua Kai said.
"Right now, it's time for the animals in the grassland to migrate. The wolves have all gone to the Bantara River to hunt for migrating animals. They will only return after the migrating animals have all retreated. There's news from the north of the Zhizhi Tribe. There seems to be news of red wolves!" Chief Tie Fa said with a worried expression.
Humans benefited from the Spirit Energy Shock, but the wild beasts benefited even more.
Wild beasts were known for their numbers. After this [Spirit Energy Shock], their strength had improved, and they posed a greater threat to humans.
The wolves and humans on the grassland had been fighting for thousands of years. This time, it was a great disaster for all the grassland people. After this migration, the number of wolves would definitely increase again. Perhaps this was the main reason why the ten grassland tribes still allowed the Erdos tribe to exist even though they did not recognize it as a big tribe.
"Red Wolf?
Is the news accurate? "Hua Kai couldn't help but worry when he heard Red Wolf's words.
The Red Wolf was one of the three major wolf species on the grassland, but many grassland people had only heard of the legend of the Red Wolf.
The red wolf was not tall, and its fighting ability was not even as good as that of an ordinary grassland wolf, but it was the most terrifying existence on the grassland.
Whenever there was sufficient rain in the grassland for several consecutive years and the number of animals increased, the red wolves would begin to breed in large numbers.
A red wolf could give birth to more than ten pups in a litter. After three months, these red wolves would grow up. There were many icebergs in the north, and there were fewer people living there. When the red wolf pack grew to a certain number, they would begin to migrate south for food. As long as there was enough food, their numbers would double in three months, and within a year, their numbers would increase by hundreds of times.
There was no one on the grassland who was not afraid of the red wolves. They were not afraid of death, and every time they moved out, there would be tens of thousands of them. The living red wolves would eat the corpses of the dead red wolves and continue to breed. Generally, the number of red wolves that could enter the Hun Kingdom was in the hundreds of thousands. It had been half a year since the Spirit Energy Shock, and the Zhizhi tribe had already discovered the traces of the red wolves. It was possible that the entire Hun Grassland and even the Central Plains would be affected.
"Then it's really troublesome. The Erdos tribe has to be prepared to deal with the wolf disaster early.
We brought a lot of salt this time, so it's best to kill the extra livestock and dry them. If the Zhizhi tribe can't eliminate the red wolves as soon as possible, all the grassland tribes will be affected! "Hua Kai said.
At this time, Prince Chaganbara entered the tent with a list of goods in his hand. He handed it to Tiefa, who looked at it and then handed it to Hua Kai.
Hua Kai looked at the list. It said 600 stones of wheat, 200 stones of rice, 200 stones of soybeans and other grains, 100 stones of snow salt, and 6000 pounds of sugar …
The Hua family's goods were most likely taken away by them. If the wolf disaster really came, Tiefa would have to have a large amount of goods.
They just passed by and took away so many things, so they would have to pay a lot.
"Brother Hua, I'll go with the price of your caravan's goods. 60 silver per stone for wheat, 80 silver for rice, 19 silver per jin for snow salt, 10 silver for sugar, 80 gold for level 4 weapons … … The total is 76023 gold. Is that right?" Tie Fa asked Hua Kai.
They were all priced according to the caravans, so Patriarch Tie Fa didn't shortchange Hua Kai. Hua Kai only glanced at it and then nodded.
"Brother, you asked me to collect spirit herbs. I've been collecting them since you left last year. The value of those spirit herbs is definitely not enough. Our tribe has more than doubled in slaves this year, and we also have some good horses and black horses. You can take a look tomorrow." Tiefa waved his hand and Prince Chaganbara went out to collect the spirit herbs.
After a while, wooden and stone boxes were brought in. Tiefa had put in a lot of effort to preserve these spirit herbs.
There was one grade 5 spirit herb, nine grade 4 spirit herbs, fifty-five grade 3 spirit herbs, one hundred and forty-seven grade 2 spirit herbs, and one thousand nine hundred grade 1 spirit herbs.
Although most of the first-grade spiritual herbs were [Blood Red Flower], [Caterpillar Grass], and some other herbs that could barely be considered as spiritual herbs, the value of these herbs was more than 50,000 gold.
"A total of 51940 gold. What do you think, Tiefa?" Hua Kai asked after looking at all the spirit herbs.
"Then it's settled!
Actually, our tribe didn't spend too much to collect these spirit herbs! "Tiefa said with a bit of embarrassment.
He didn't pay more than fifty kilograms of Snow Salt for the spirit herbs he collected, but it was enough for 100,000 people to use for a year. After tasting the benefits of trading, Tiefa started to value Hua Jia Caravan even more.
After leaving the main tent, Hua Kai returned to the market and saw that the tent was already set up. He entered the main tent and saw that all the core members of the family were waiting.
Hua Kai told everyone about the current situation of the Erdos Tribe, as well as the discovery of the Red Wolves in the Zhizhi Tribe. The Hua Family caravan had no way of dealing with the wolf disaster, so they could only try their best to stay in the Erdos Tribe. The stronger the tribe, the stronger their ability to resist the wolf disaster.
Hua Kai put all the spirit herbs into his family's secret realm space. Tonight, he needed to refine pills and forge a weapon for Tiefa.
He checked his family's luck and went to the weapon shop to find the cheapest halberd.
Crescent Moon Flagged Halberd: Grade 7 Mortal Weapon
Forging Materials: 60 kilograms of Meteorite Iron, 30 kilograms of Flaming Cloud Stone, 30 kilograms of Purple Molybdenum Rock, 40 gold.
Required Family Luck: 369 points
This was the most suitable weapon for Tiefa. As long as he didn't break through to the Foundation Building Realm, he could use it forever. Hua Kai clicked 'Confirm Forging', and a large halberd that was over ten feet long appeared in front of him.
Hua Kai held the Crescent Moon Flagged Halberd in his hand. The head of the halberd was quite large. One side was shaped like a crescent moon, while the other side was shaped like an ancient flag. It was about 200 kilograms. No one below the Postcelestial Realm could wield such a heavy weapon.
After the weapon was forged, Hua Kai went to the Alchemy Room. He first checked the number of elixirs that could be refined by all the elixir recipes lit up. Among them, the most was 416 furnaces of Rejuvenation Elixir, followed by 321 furnaces of Small Recovery Elixir and 192 furnaces of Vitality Elixir.
The Elixir Of Spring overlapped with the Elixir Of Spring, so of course, Hua Kai wouldn't refine all the pills. He still had 1,140 luck points, so he first refined 10 furnaces of the Elixir Of Spring, obtaining 57 pills. Then, he chose the most abundant ones and refined 10 different types of pills, making a total of 50 furnaces.
Hua Kai saw that he still had 843 points of luck left in his family. He chose the recipes that he had a lot of inventory and took turns to refine them. Unknowingly, when he only had 300 points of luck left in his family, Hua Kai realized that he had already refined close to 300 cauldrons of pills. The [Rejuvenation Pill] was originally an ordinary pill with the most ingredients in his inventory. Next to it was the number 61 (Number of pills that could be refined). This time, he had used up almost half of the low-level elixirs that he had just bought.
On the morning of the second day, Huang Guangwen came to Hua Kai's main tent and asked when they could trade.
Hua Kai told him about the price of the goods he had traded with Chief Tie Fa yesterday and suggested that he sell his goods for 20% more. Huang Guangwen's eyes widened in disbelief.
He dared to sell a Grade 3 Weapon for 5 Gold, and a Grade 4 Weapon started at 60 Gold. Meanwhile, the best Steed here could be bought for 5 Gold. He did not dare to imagine what would happen if they sold all of their goods. Wouldn't they be able to buy over a hundred Steeds?
Before he could finish, the Geng, Yue, and Chen families also arrived. Hua Kai told them that they could open the market today and asked a few members of the Hua family to help them complete the trade. These members of the Hua family had all been to the Ordos Tribe last year, so they were quite familiar with the situation here.
The four families went back to prepare for the trade. Hua Kai saw Chief Tie Fa bring a few banner lords to his tent.
"Greetings, Chief Tie Fa!"
Hua Kai bowed. No matter what, he was only a guest here. He had to show respect to the host.
"Do we still need to be so polite?
Today, some of the Ordos Tribe's subsidiary tribes heard that you were here and wanted to trade with you. I've already agreed. They should be here in the afternoon! "
Logically speaking, Chief Tie Fa didn't need to tell Hua Kai. He said this out of respect for Hua Kai. The two families were allies, so their interests were tied together.
"As long as Chief Tie Fa makes the decision!
I wonder when we can pick the goods so I can give you the pills as soon as possible! "Hua Kai said.
"You can do it now. Today, I'll bring you to our slave camp!
You can pick any slave camp you want. Even if you pick all of my elites, it won't be a problem, "Chief Tie Fa said straightforwardly.
Hua Kai knew that the Ordos Tribe had more than 100,000 slaves. With Hua Jia Caravan's hundred people, they could only pick a thousand slaves at most. This was not even worth mentioning for the Ordos Tribe's slave camp. This was why Chief Tie Fa said this.
Hua Kai grinned when he heard this. Hua Jia Caravan's main purpose in coming to the Ordos Tribe was to help them increase their strength. It wouldn't be too much to take more of their high quality slaves!
