Chapter 3 Caravans
The winter sun always sets early, and the sea and sky are blue and lie down at dusk.
After half a day's rest, he was able to stagger on foot, and when he got up, he walked towards the burrow that the hooked cat had come out of.
Hai Tianlan's current body is not suitable for long-distance travel, and the multi-hooked cat is not a social monster, there must be its breath near its cave, and it is a certain deterrent for the monster that the multi-hook cat can restrain it! But for Haitianlan, it is an ideal place to rest.
The Hooked Cat's burrow is not deep, but the space inside is half the size of a room. Inside, there are some dry bones of humans and monsters, and a nest made of withered grass with several human clothes inside.
"What a bonus, it seems that the last owner of this dress must have been a hunter. Not bad, it fits perfectly! ”
A set of goose-yellow animal skin hunting suits was worn by Hai Tianlan, and a hunting knife that was not rusty was also carried by him on his waist. And, he's found a map of the neighborhood from the suit!
"I didn't expect that in addition to my recovery ability, my eyesight is also good, and it doesn't affect me to look at the map in such a dark environment!"
"Judging by the signs, the place where I am is is near the border of the territory in the Beachy Strait, according to which the nearest tribe is the Mosamu. When I was almost done, I set off for the Confiteri tribe to see if I could get any information about my identity there. ”
Determined in his mind, Hai Tianlan walked out of the multi-hooked cat's cave again, he was going to collect the first loot he had obtained since his new life.
There are many tribes on the Marfa continent, and the place of residence one level higher than the tribe is the village, and the place of residence one level higher than the village is the city.
There are three common combat skill classes on the Marfa continent, warrior, magician, and Taoist.
One of the most important skills in the skills of the Taoist profession is called "Poison Technique", and if you want to perform "Poison Technique", you must have poison/medicine, and the loot that Hai Tianlan is collecting now is the raw material for configuring a poison/medicine.
The leaves of the piranha flower are relatively small, hidden among the vines at the roots, and its fruit is hidden behind the petals, like the fruit of the sycamore tree.
These two items are what Haitian Blue needs to collect, and the things they represent are gold coins in addition to poison/medicine! Gold coins are very important everywhere, and many things you want to do can't do without gold coins.
Using a hunting knife to cut off the leaves and fruits he needed, the underlying caution in his bones made Hai Tianlan throw the man-eating flower into the sea again, and even the long blood path of the toad was cleaned up by him, he didn't want to be provoked by these things.
After doing all this, Hai Tianlan, who had just recovered his strength for a short time, fell directly to the ground tired! However, listening to the roar of the monsters in the distance after dark, he felt that it was all worth it.
There are no stars or moon tonight, and there is a faint light and shadow flickering in the clouds.
At night, the cold wind was desolate and bruised.
**********
In the afternoon, the sky was clear.
The weather was good, but Yulan's mood was bad. At this time, sitting in the carriage, she lifted the curtain and looked at the blue sky, her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.
"It's not hot, but the snow is still slowly melting. In the days when the snow melts, the road must be very difficult to walk, and it will take a lot of time! ”
Sorrow crept up into Yulan's eyebrows in a muttering voice. Eighteen-year-old girls should be happy, even if there is sorrow, it should be something like love, and even if there is sorrow, it should not be so strong.
However, Yu Lan is different, she has too many responsibilities on her shoulders!
The Fuyu tribe belongs to the Ginkgo Valley, and Yu Lan is the acting chief of the Fuyu tribe. The purpose of her trip was to lead the tribe's caravan to trade with the Morbides, exchanging rich specialties for Morbides' specialties, the most important of which was food for the tribesmen to cope with the cold winter.
"Miss, don't worry, you can reach the Mossho tribe the day after tomorrow. At the current temperature, at least until the time of the absence, it will not be enough to step on the mud and hurry. ”
Fauber, who was driving the car, heard Yu Lan's sigh, and he answered with a smile.
"Hmm."
Yu Lan retracted into the carriage in response, and she couldn't bear to look at Fauber's gray hair and rickety back. The old man in his eighties was supposed to enjoy his old age at home, but for her, the old man was willing to brave the wind and cold and travel long distances to be a coachman.
"I hope there won't be any more unsolvable changes!"
Yu Lan muttered in her heart. The reason why I am worried about time is that the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is to change! This road is not safe, and monsters such as nail rake cats, multi-hooked cats, and man-eating flowers can appear.
But it's easy to just have these monsters, but what if there are orcs? This is what Yulan is really worried about! After all, the orcs have always had the habit of coming to the Terrans to fight the winter famine, and this is the Beachy Strait, which is closer to the border between the Terrans and the orcs.
"Ahem......"
Fubo's cough outside the carriage made Yu Lan clench her fists, and it also made her see the burden on her body clearly! If this trade is not successful, those who follow her and trust her will lose their place in the tribe.
"Stop ......"
The sound of confusion came from the caravan's first car, and this sound was made by the "parrot" who was responsible for leading the way to observe.
The parrot is not a bird, but a young man in his twenties, but with a broken mouth and long colorful hair.
In this world, there are many colors of human hair and eyes, but most of them are black.
"Miss, someone in front of you is signaling the caravan to stop!"
The crunch of the wheels to stop turning and the parrot's announcement came at the same time.
Yu Lan leaned out of the window and looked at the man who had stopped the caravan.
This is a very handsome man, he is dressed as a hunter, at this time he is looking at Yu Lan with a smile, and there is a kind of goodwill in his dark starry eyes.
"Excuse me, your caravan is heading for the Confucianism, right? Can you give me a ride? ”
Hai Tianlan politely clenched her fists and motioned to the ten men in the caravan, and her inquiring eyes once again fell on the young lady in the caravan's mouth.
This is a very good-looking girl, her long black hair is wrapped in a fiery red scarf, there are no ornaments on her head, and she doesn't apply a little powder on her pretty face, and she is as beautiful as a hibiscus in the water! At first glance, Haitian Blue felt very pleasing to the eye.
"There are only six carts in this caravan, and each of them is pulled by a Splithoof Beast that can carry a thousand pounds."
"Splithooves can't compete with the One-Horned Horse in terms of gravity or movement speed, and it's not even better than the One-Horned Horse for long journeys in snowy conditions! And due to the problem of its own excessive appetite, this split-hoof beast that looks like a wild bull has long been eliminated by the ordinary tribe. ”
"Most of these cars are trucks full of sacks, and there are only two caravans for people to take a nap. From the members of the caravan to the lady leader, everyone's clothes couldn't be more plain. ”
"Judging from these points, this tribe is not ordinary poverty! Looks like I'm very likely to take this ride! ”
While waiting for the young lady's response, Hai Tianlan made a rough judgment about the things she saw in her heart. Among the incomplete memories, the most sound is the sophistication of human feelings.
"I'm sorry, the Splithoof can't add any more weight, we can't help you with that. Please give way, we're in a hurry! ”
After Yu Lan said this, she immediately lowered the curtain on the car window. Fauber, who was in charge of driving the car for her, had a satisfied smile in his somewhat cloudy eyes, and he whipped the Splithoof, and the caravan began again.
The other party's excuse is very bad, the three-headed split-hoofed beast doesn't look very struggling, how can it be that it can't increase the weight anymore? What's more, Hai Tianlan is not a big fat man weighing hundreds of pounds!
In this regard, Hai Tianlan was not disappointed, but smiled slightly.
"Don't rush away! Just as a favor, I have two cannibal leaves and one cannibal fruit here, and these things should be paid for your help, what do you think? ”
"Hum ......"
The reins attached to the nose ring were violently pulled by the panicked parrot, and the pain-eating Splithoof stopped at the sound of a call.
"Is it really, really the product of a man-eating flower?"
The excited parrot's eyes widened, and they were already stuttering a little!
This reaction made Hai Tianlan very satisfied, and before the young lady could speak, her subordinates were already panicking! The men who were originally in the carriage had already poked their heads out, and they stared at the blue and yellow objects in Hai Tianlan's hands, looking surprised or salivating! Even the white-haired old man who drove the car for the young lady and seemed to have seen some of the world couldn't help but show a look of interest!
"Of course it is, if it's fake! This thing is a hot seller, and Taoist priests can't do without it. What's more, it's winter, and the already hard-to-find man-eating flowers are even harder to find! ”
"Two leaves and one fruit, at least four hundred gold coins, right? If the four hundred gold coins are exchanged for fine grain, they should be able to exchange for two thousand catties! If you change to whole grains, it's even more! ”
Hai Tianlan did his best, and said vividly, with a fox-like smile on his handsome face.
Not only is her eyesight good, but Hai Tianlan's hearing is not bad, and in the men's somewhat heavier breathing, Hai Tianlan heard the young lady swallowing saliva inaudibly in the carriage.
"Okay, deal!"
Miss's cold answer made Hai Tianlan a little surprised, normal people will be a little embarrassed in such a situation, and will use new excuses to cover up, but this girl is very simple!
