Chapter 385 Contract Signing
"Crazy..."
Without saying much, Gu Jia directly carried two big bags of gifts in and fell on the table.
One of the big bags is a variety of gemstones that are better than high-quality stones. Red, blue, green, purple, and all kinds of colors. They are very beautiful and have extremely hard texture.
"These gems were given to Chief Chen. These are the gems that our Chuanshan tribe has accumulated over the years. Each one is better than the top-quality stone. Whether it is used for decoration or stone tools, it is very good."
Chen Bei picked up a green gem and was surprised to find that he didn't recognize this stone. It felt like jade when it touched, and it was translucent, like jade, and very beautiful.
This world has some similarities with the world where Chen Bei lived in his previous life, but there are also many differences.
For example, various strange beasts, strange plants, and these gems that Chenbei has never seen before are very suitable for polishing into stone tools, hard and sharp.
The bone armor made people pour something from another sack onto the table, and a strong aroma of medicine came to their noses.
In this sack, there are various rare herb rhizomes that have been dried, all of which were excavated underground by the Chuanshan tribe and are of great value.
"These herbs are given to the witches of the Mang Tribe, and are gifts personally selected by the witches of our Chuanshan Tribe."
Qingzhu felt happy when she saw that there were several rare medicinal herbs. Obviously, she liked this gift very much.
In order to allow the Mang tribe to accept it, the witches of Chuanshan tribe have been hollowed out.
Chen Bei put down the gem in his hand and said, "The boss of Bone Armor gave these two big gifts. I guess he had something to ask for?"
"Yes, there is something to ask for."
The posture of Gu Jia was very low because he knew that in front of the Mang tribe, the Chuanshan tribe was too weak and could show an equal posture when making transactions, but it was not possible to become an affiliated tribe.
Gu Jia told the conflict between the Chuanshan Tribe and the Ant Tribe, and also told Chenbei and Qingzhu about the current residence of the Chuanshan Tribe.
"We hope that we can seek the protection of the Mang tribe. In return, we are willing to become an affiliated tribe of the Mang tribe and fight for the Mang tribe."
Gu Jia's attitude was very sincere, but Chen Bei did not agree immediately.
"Bone Armor Chief, I believe you also know that our Mang tribe is now a large population and several affiliated tribes. If you cannot prove your value, why should Mang tribe provide you with shelter?"
Gu Jia's heart tightened and said, "How do you want us to prove the value?"
Chen Bei smiled and said, "Chief Bone Armor, don't be nervous, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"You also know that as an affiliated tribe, you need to pay tribute to the main tribe every year, and the main tribe will provide protection to the subordinate tribe."
"I don't need you Chuanshan Tribe to pay tribute, but you Chuanshan Tribe need to produce 100 best-killed warriors every year to help us find and dig ore."
"Ore?" Gu Jia scratched his head, never heard of this word.
"It's a useful stone." Chen Bei explained.
Gu Jia thought about it and produced 100 warriors every year, which was not too unacceptable for the Chuanshan Tribe.
In order to ensure the insurance, Gu Jia asked again: "Can these soldiers return to our Chuanshan Tribe?"
If you only do a year of work, it doesn’t matter, but if you have to get in with a hundred totem warriors every year, the consequences will be much more serious.
Chenbeidao: "Don't worry, they just dig stones. Unless they encounter a mountain collapse or an accident, under normal circumstances, they will not be in danger of their lives."
Gu Jia asked in detail again, but there was indeed no problem, and finally agreed to Chen Bei's request.
"So, starting from today, the Chuanshan Tribe is an affiliated tribe of the Mang Tribe. The Xi God will sign a contract with your totem God."
Chen Bei was in a very happy mood. Now the Mang tribe needs a large amount of ore to smel metal. The warriors of the Chuanshan tribe and the great pangolins will definitely help the Mang tribe find ore.
Gu Jia was also in a happy mood. He was already ready to take advantage of the situation to rob the Mang tribe, but unexpectedly, the Mang tribe just needed some people to help them dig the stones underground.
Compared to tribute, it is really cost-effective to dispatch some soldiers to mine and work hard.
The Mang tribe is all good people!
Bone Armor sighed in his heart.
On that day, Gu Jia stayed in the Mang Tribe and was well received by Chenbei. He tasted the food and wine of the Mang Tribe, and once again saw the power of the Mang Tribe.
The next day, Gu Jia returned to Chuanshan Tribe with the contract signed by the Mang Tribe Witch.
The totem god of the Mang tribe signed a contract with the totem god of the Chuanshan tribe, and the Chuanshan tribe officially became an affiliated tribe of the Mang tribe.
The Chuanshan Tribe soon sent a hundred warriors who were good at digging holes, as well as some giant pangolins, to the Mang Tribe to fulfill its promise.
Chen Bei gave a batch of gifts to the Chuanshan Tribe, including salt, animal leather jackets and other daily necessities, which greatly increased the Chuanshan Tribe's favorability for the Mang Tribe.
After learning that Chuanshan tribe has become an affiliated tribe of the Mang tribe, the ant tribe did not send anyone to trouble the Chuanshan tribe.
After all, they don’t want to have conflicts with the Mang tribe yet. The most important thing about the Ant Tribe is to completely gain a foothold in the Southern Wilderness and then fight with the Mang tribe.
...
Outside the Mang Tribe's city wall, southwest, the crystal cave found by Shanluo has officially begun to be mined.
Beautiful crystals, agate and other gems were dug up by the warriors of the Mang tribe and sent to the tribe's workshop.
Some of these crystals and agate have been polished into jewelry, while others have been polished into sharp and beautiful stone tools.
Subsequently, part of these beautiful stone tools were rewarded to those who were successful in the Mang Tribe, and the other part was placed on the shelves of the trading area, becoming a luxury item in the trading area.
Many tribe members who fell outside were very coveted by these beautiful and practical stone tools. Some small tribe leaders even tried their best to get one, which was very crazy.
On this morning, Chen Bei listened to the information brought back by the intelligence team again. The tribes around the Mang tribe, including the Jackal tribe in the middle, entered a relatively stable period of development.
Real battles usually happen in autumn because there is the most abundant food in autumn. At this time, you can grab more good things when fighting.
Tribes are not stupid either. They know how to benefit them more.
"Since the situation is temporarily stable, it's time to set out to find soul-enhancing drugs."
Looking for a medicine to enhance the soul is a heart disease in Chenbei and it must be found to cure it.
Chen Bei asked about the totem gods such as the flame rhino, blood vine, and the answers they got were similar.
“The herbs that enhance souls are very rare and are often picked before they are mature or swallowed by animals.”
"If you want to find good herbs to enhance your soul, you can only go to places that are rarely visited, and you have a better chance of encountering soul medicine."
A place with few people also indicates that it will be very dangerous.
Chen Bei thought about it and finally decided to go to the western desert to take a look. The western desert was deserted and there were some oasis inside. Perhaps, it might not be necessary that there were soul medicines hidden in these oasis.
