Chapter 363 - 362, Best-selling Product_1
"Those Beast-eating Fish have formidable teeth; they gnawed a hole right through our city walls. That’s the hole they used to sneak in."
Having said this, he looked towards Shi Jie, "I came here to trade with the Dashi Tribe for some of the stones you use for making hard stone tools. We want to block off the side near the river entirely with these hard stones, to prevent these strange fish from entering."
Shi Jie felt a pang of concern, "We don’t have many of those stones left in our tribe either. Otherwise, why would we only bring a few stone tools to the annual tribal festival?"
Ge Xing chuckled, "Don’t worry Chief Shi Jie, we don’t want your large stones for making tools. We just need smaller stones. Large stones leave too many gaps when piled, and while the larger fish can’t get through, the small ones can easily slip in."
Shi Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "You rascal, you need to say these things upfront. If it’s the small stones you need, we have plenty. After the orcs select the larger stones for tool making, the leftover small stones are all discarded outside the tribe. Take as many as you need; there’s no need for a trade."
Ge Xing’s face stiffened: "That’s not going to work. After all, your helpfulness to the Watson Tribe is undeniable. How can we take advantage of you!"
After saying this, he thought for a while and said, "How about this: I’ll take all the small stones outside your tribe. In return... "
The old orc gazes sincerely at Shi Jie, "I’ll have our Shaman prepare a batch of deworming medicinal powder for you. How does that sound?"
An expression of disbelief instantly froze on Shi Jie’s face as he gazed at Ge Xing, at a loss for words...
Thinking that Shi Jie was unwilling, Ge Xing quickly added, "Of course, if you prefer food instead..."
Shi Jie finally snapped back to reality from his tremendous surprise and hastily waved his hands, "No food! No food! We want the medicinal powder!"
His inner excitement almost overwhelmed him. During the last tribe gathering, the medicinal powder from the Watson Tribe was exchanged at an astronomical price. Despite this, it was sold out instantly, with all tribes clamoring for it. Even the Dashi Tribe only got a single portion in exchange for all of their best stone tools.
Thinking of the fact that those discarded stones could be exchanged for a valuable batch of deworming medicine, Shi Jie brimmed with energy. He wished he could transport those stones to Watson Tribe right away.
Xiong Da, standing nearby, turned red with envy. He quickly turned to Ge Xing and said, "Old fellow, don’t you care about my business? Does our tribe have something you need?"
I also want deworming medicine. Just give me one portion, I don’t dare ask for more!
Ge Xing shook his head, "Not at the moment. If we need something in the future, we’ll come to you. Also, our Shaman doesn’t have much deworming medicine left. The specific herbs for this year’s batch haven’t grown yet, so I can’t get more."
Xiong Da looked at Shi Jie, who was brimming with excitement and red-faced with joy, with a mixture of envy. Just why was the old guy so lucky today?
After the orcs had eaten, the two Clan Leaders escorted Ge Xing and Xiu Yan to their tents for rest before returning to their caves.
Luo Ke was sitting on a Beast Skin mat, feeding grilled meat to his cubs while Mo Peisi was sitting idly on the side.
When Shi Jie entered the cave and sat down, he looked towards Luo Ke and asked, "Are the orcs’ broken arms and bones healed?"
