Zhao Hai certainly didn't know what the two women were thinking. He had only wanted to kiss Laura because of the atmosphere. Now that he had left the tent, he naturally didn't have that kind of feeling.
Walking out of the tent, he breathed in two breaths of fresh air. Looking around, Zhao Hai discovered that the women of the Pig tribe had already woken up early. They were busy in the camp. Some were milking the goats, some were feeding the lambs, and some were cleaning up the mess from last night. When they saw Zhao Hai come out, they all gave him a salute. Zhao Hai also quickly returned the salute.
It had to be said that the lives of ordinary beastmen were very hard. For a race like Spiel's, they didn't have any slaves and had to do everything themselves. Their main income came from buying argali and wool products.
The wool products made by the beastmen were very famous on the continent. Not only were they thick and warm, but they were also very sturdy and durable. The most important thing was that the patterns on them had strong beastman characteristics. They looked rough and mysterious, with a kind of exotic beauty that was very popular.
However, these wool products didn't have a unified production line. They were all hand-crafted by the beastmen, passed down from generation to generation. These sheepskin products were not only their main source of income, but they were also necessities for their lives.
Zhao Hai didn't look at the women working. Instead, he set his eyes on Spear's mounts, as well as the prairie dogs.
These prairie dogs were very similar to the prairie mastiffs that Zhao Hai had seen in his previous life. They looked even more ferocious than the prairie mastiffs. After all, these dogs were magic beasts.
As for Spear's mounts, they made Zhao Hai even more curious. They looked like close relatives of the wild boar and were really tall. In Zhao Hai's view, they were simply smaller versions of elephants. What was even rarer was that they were very fast. They were really good mounts.
Perhaps it was because Zhao Hai had been drinking with Spiel last night, but whether it was the dogs or the pigs, none of them showed any hostility toward him. Some of the dogs even wagged their tails at Zhao Hai.
At this moment, Spear's voice was heard. "Brother Zhao Hai, you woke up really early. Did you have a good time drinking yesterday?"
Zhao Hai turned his head and saw that it was Spear. He couldn't help but faintly smile as he said, "Brother Spear, you didn't wake up too late. Last night was the happiest night of my life. I really have to thank you for your hospitality."
Spear patted Zhao Hai's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, you are too polite. Receiving a friend is an honor for us beastmen. Hahahaha."
Zhao Hai had a direct understanding of the beastmen's forthrightness. However, he still couldn't bear Spear's enthusiasm for patting his shoulder.
Zhao Hai shook his numb shoulder and bitterly smiled. He then turned his head to Spear and said, "Brother Spear, then I won't be polite with you. I can give you my 50,000 jin of food, but I want a few argali and a dog. It would be best if you could also give me one of your mounts. What do you think?"
Spear smiled and said, "No problem. I can give you the dog. This type of pig is a unique warbeast of our Big-bellied Pig tribe. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it. However, two days ago, a pig gave birth to a piglet. I can give you a piglet and 30 argali. What do you think?" After Spear finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Hai. He was really afraid that Zhao Hai wouldn't agree. From his point of view, Zhao Hai was already suffering a great loss in this transaction.
Zhao Hai shook his head. "Brother Spear, you are too polite. If you give me a dog, a pig, two blankets, and ten argali, then this fifty thousand jin of grain will be yours." Spear shook his head and said, "You are too polite.
As far as Zhao Hai was concerned, this was already enough. His space now had three more types of magic beasts. Moreover, he also received 10 argali and two blankets. Furthermore, he only had to pay 50,000 jin of bamboo rice. If he were to sell these things on the continent, he would be able to get a few hundred gold coins. This was already a bargain for him.
Spear didn't think so. From his point of view, Zhao Hai was suffering a great loss. He quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, this is too much of a loss for you. Beastmen won't let their friends suffer a loss. You must accept the 30 argali. As for the blankets and other things, they were all made by us, so I'll just give them to you."
"Brother Spear, you don't need to be polite with me. Yesterday, didn't Laura say that these grains were produced in my territory? I grew them myself and didn't buy them. I didn't have any capital. Ten argali, I've already made a lot of money. My brothers, I can't let you suffer a loss, right?" Zhao Hai laughed and patted Spear's arm (he was short, so he couldn't reach Spear's shoulder). "Brother Spear, you don't need to be polite with me.
Spear looked at Zhao Hai with a complicated expression. He patted Zhao Hai's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, from today onwards, you are a true brother of Spear. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a human like you. You are different from the humans I've seen before. Many humans are like vampires, but you are a generous person. I am willing to give you my tribe's war flag. Not the war flag that I give to a caravan, but a war flag that I give to a brother."
Zhao Hai stared blankly. Puzzled, he asked, "What's the difference? I've heard that there are many large caravans that have war flags. Don't tell me those war flags aren't used by the war tribes? "
Spear smiled and said, "My brother, your understanding of us beastmen is still too little. We beastmen have many types of war flags. One type is the war flag that we use in battle. This kind of war flag cannot be given away because it represents the honor of beastmen. Another type is the war flag that we give to caravans. Although these war flags look the same as the war flags we use, as long as you are a beastman, you would be able to see the difference. The third type is the war flag that we give to our brothers. Although these war flags aren't the war flags we use during battle, they represent friendship. Those who obtain these war flags would also gain the friendship of beastmen. As long as a beastman sees these war flags, they would know that this person is a true friend of beastmen. No matter where they go, they would receive the corresponding respect. Although our Big-bellied Pig Tribe is only a tribal tribe and not a war tribe, as long as you obtain these friendship war flags, you would be much safer than obtaining war flags from war tribes. This is because beastmen wouldn't attack their friends." Spear smiled and said, "Our Big-bellied Pig Tribe is only a tribal tribe and not a war tribe. As long as you obtain these friendship war flags, you would be much safer than obtaining war flags from war tribes.
Zhao Hai understood that the war flags of the beastmen had many things to pay attention to. He wasn't polite as he smiled and said, "Alright, my brother. Then I'll have to thank you."
Spear laughed and said, "My brother, you're too polite. Beastmen don't need to be so polite. But brother, you have to be careful. I've heard some time ago that there are Jackal tribe members in the vicinity. They are a group of bandits and thieves. They shouldn't even be considered beastmen. You have to be careful of those guys."
Zhao Hai nodded. Regarding the Jackal tribe, Zhao Hai also knew about them. This was because in all the records of beastmen, the Jackal tribe would be mentioned. This tribe was known to be more cold-blooded than the Snake tribe, more cunning than the Fox tribe, and more cruel than the Wolf tribe. Not only were they not welcomed by humans, even the other beastmen didn't like them.
The Jackal tribe was a very special tribe. They weren't as strong as the Lion tribe, and they weren't as fast as the Wolf tribe. To be honest, they weren't as smart as the Fox tribe. However, they had a characteristic that the other three tribes didn't have, and that was their ability to survive.
The place where the Jackal tribe lived was generally the most difficult part of the Beastmen Prairie. In order to survive, they could only constantly fight, hunt, and rob. If they didn't do this, they would starve to death.
There was nothing that the Jackal tribe didn't dare to rob. No matter what race, as long as they thought there was an opportunity, they would rob you. Moreover, the Jackal tribe was the most outstanding hunter. They were the most united, the most patient, and at the same time, they also had a cunning that the other beastmen didn't have. All of this made them the most famous hunters of the Beastmen Prairie, but also the most unpopular.
The Beastmen didn't like them because they robbed everyone. On the other hand, the Humans didn't like them because they didn't leave anyone alive. Even if the Beastmen robbed a Human Merchant, they wouldn't hurt them, nor would they capture them. This was because they needed the Human Merchants to bring food back to the Prairie. On the other hand, the Jackal tribe was completely different. Not only would they rob things, they would also rob people. They would also capture human merchants and sell them as slaves. Many human slaves on the prairie were produced in this way. Many human merchants were robbed by other beastmen and then captured by the Jackal tribe to be sold. It could be said that this was a tribe that would do anything to survive.
The reason why the Jackal tribe wasn't welcomed by the beastmen was because they didn't have their own battle flag!
For the beastmen, the battle flag was their honor and symbol. The Jackal tribe didn't have their own battle flag, but this didn't mean that they didn't have one. Rather, they had a lot of battle flags in their hands, but most of them were stolen from other races.
They would use these battle flags as bait. For example, they would use the battle flags of weaker beastmen tribes. Then, they would wait for human merchants to come to their place to stay, and they would call it robbery. In the entire beastman race, only the Jackal tribe would do this. The other races, even the fiercest Wolfmen and the most cunning Foxmen, wouldn't do this. This was because they had their own honor and disdained to do this kind of thing.
