Mai Mang and Wah Ming took turns to open the way ahead, using stone knives in their hands to chop away the branches and weeds blocking the road.

Da Gua, however, walked behind to prevent ferocious beasts and enemy sneak attacks.

Yanjiao stays beside Su Bai and Yanhua, and can protect Wu and his daughter immediately when there is danger.

The group of people set out from the Yanlong tribe and had spent two days on the road. Except for taking turns sleeping at night, everyone was on the road.

"Are there no roads nearby?"Su Bai asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The group of them walked on mountain roads. They found a direction and started to cross the mountains. Unless it was really difficult to walk, they would take a detour.

According to Su Bai's estimation, if If there really is a road, it can completely save half of the traveling time.

"No, everyone will communicate once every ten days or dozens of days, and the roads will soon be covered with plants. Yanjiao shook his head, his red eyes wary of the surroundings, and said calmly:"Witch, there are only roads between some big tribes. They often trade with each other, but small tribes like us sometimes don't even communicate for a year.""

"Is there no communication between tribes?"Su Bai asked with a frown. It's not good for the development of humanistic economy to be too closed.

"The only opportunity for us to communicate with other tribes is to compete for hunting grounds on the hunting grounds. Yanjiao said in a deep voice.

Niujiao Niang is no longer as active as when she first left the tribe. She followed Su Bai silently and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.

"How did the Spotted Deer Tribe’s market develop?"Su Bai is really curious about this.

"The Spotted Deer tribe has salt, and everyone goes to their tribe to exchange for salt every fifteen days."Yanjiao's tone was filled with envy.

"Huh? Is salt produced by the Spotted Deer Tribe?"Su Bai was really surprised.

"I’m not sure, but my father said that the salt doesn’t seem to be produced by the Spotted Deer tribe, but they also get it from other large tribes. Yanjiao said uncertainly.

It turned out to be a middleman, Su Bai suddenly realized.

He estimated that the Spotted Deer Tribe developed by relying on middlemen to earn price differences. After all, only the Spotted Deer Tribe had salt nearby.

Or maybe the salt thing It was promoted by the Spotted Deer Tribe. There is no need for such things as salt. The Spotted Deer Tribe is not a big tribe now. This is very suspicious.

"How many people are there in the Spotted Deer Tribe?"Su Bai wanted to get to know this middleman and see if it was possible to cooperate.

"There are three thousand people, and there are more than two hundred totem warriors." Yanjiao's tone was full of envy and unwillingness.

In the past, there were three hundred people in the Yanlong tribe and only thirty-two totem warriors. But now there are only seventy-two people and eleven totem warriors left. It's no wonder that the Yanlong tribe has Jiao will be envious and unwilling

"Sooner or later we will have so many people."Su Bai said firmly

"I believe in witches." Yanjiao reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"……"Su Bai didn't have the habit of boasting about Haikou, and based on the analysis, he got the desired information on the tribe's strength.

A small tribe probably has a few hundred people and dozens of totem warriors.

A medium-sized tribe has more than a few thousand to less than 10,000 people, with more than a hundred totem warriors.

Large tribes number about ten thousand people, and the totem warriors are unknown.

The medium-sized tribes and large tribes have their own specialties, which are then traded to other small tribes, and the meat obtained is used to strengthen the development of the tribe.

"It seems that my guess is accurate."Su Bai murmured to himself. With the current lifestyle of society, a tribe alone can grow to tens of thousands of people.

Without planting and breeding to wait for food sources, the current appetite of the tribesmen will not be exchanged for their own specialties. It is simply difficult to develop more than a few thousand people

"It’s the small tribes that are suffering."Su Bai sighed. The dried meat stored in the small tribe was used to exchange for salt or other urgently needed supplies.

This was one of the reasons why he valued linen so much.

Looking at Wu's profile with beautiful eyes, he discovered A man who thinks seriously is quite good-looking, no worse than a strong totem warrior.

"Click click click……"

Maimang opened his way to an open area and glanced around.

His eyes tightened, he grabbed Frog, who was about to move forward, and pointed at the ground

"footprint……"Wah Ming turned around and looked over, his expression changed instantly. They were the footprints of a pair of people.

Maimang held the stone knife tightly and whispered:"Go and take a look around first."

"good." Frog Ming nodded, put down the animal skin bag on his back, held the spear tightly and went into the woods.

Yanjiao, Su Bai and others saw Maimang stop and hurriedly stepped forward lightly.

"what's the situation? Yanjiao asked in a deep voice.

"Found someone's footprints, Wah Ming went to check."Mai Mang whispered.

"Wu, Ahua, you two must stay with me. Yanjiao warned.

"I will."Yanhua nodded quickly, her little hands already holding the stone knife at her waist.

"Here, two dollars per person."Su Bai handed over the animal skin bag in his hand.

"what?" Yanjiao took the hand curiously, opened the animal skin bag and looked at it, and then his eyes glazed over.

What did he see? A bag of witch dominoes, at least ten witch dominoes. This is the first time that Yanjiao has grown so big. Seeing so many witch dominoes completely frightened him

"Chief? what?"Maimang became even more curious when he saw Yanjiao's appearance.

Yanjiao reached into the animal skin bag, took out two witch dominoes and handed them over, and said in a harsh voice:"These are all witch dominoes."

"hiss……"Maimang took a breath of air and stared at the witch dominoes with wide eyes.

"One piece is a healing witchcraft, and the other is a witchcraft that doubles your strength."Su Bai explained lightly.

"Wu, how many days did you make these in the tribe? Yanjiao asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the main reason is that there are not enough materials, otherwise there would be more witch dominoes."Su Bai said with a little pity.

"Don't worry, Wu, we will leave the materials to us. Yanjiao said excitedly.

After their hunting team got the witch dominoes, they now dared to touch the ferocious beasts that they didn't dare to try before.

"good."Su Bai nodded.
