Chapter 119: Trade Routes and Brimstone
Chapter 119 Trade Road and Sulfur
Not to mention the Fire God Tribe, Chen Xu was worried about the tribe's guardian beasts. After always preparing to train the warriors in the tribe, he led them into the jungle and captured several jungle overlords back.
Let’s talk about the tribes in the edge of the vast land, several leaders quickly received news of the battle, but their reaction to the matter of the Fire God and the Fire Lion was quite subtle.
At the beginning, after listening to what the envoys said, the attitudes of these tribe leaders were still ambiguous. Apart from not understanding the deceased fire lion tribe who took action first, they had no intention of showing up. They seemed to take this opportunity to see how powerful the Fire God Tribe was, and to determine their attitude towards the Fire God Tribe next.
Although the Vulcan tribe has always been very strong, with various instruments and tools leading them several streets, and also destroyed the Silver Shengfan with a broken bamboo, the leaders of several tribes still disagreed.
In their hearts, if they were not concerned about the wolves, the Silver Sex would not be able to see their Dharma eyes at all. The Fire God Tribe could also do these things that their tribe could do.
Therefore, at this time, they all looked at the conflict with a different mood. In their opinion, it seemed that the conflict was coming at the right time.
What made the faces of several tribe leaders change wildly was that they just learned about the conflict in the morning and received information in the afternoon that the Fire Lion Tribe was completely destroyed by the Fire God Tribe. Not only did they lose three branches, but they did not plunder more than half of the population, but even the others were forced into the core tribe and did not dare to come out.
Moreover, according to reliable information, the leader of the Fire God Tribe, the Fire God, can beat the powerful jungle overlord, the Fire Lion. If the Fire Lion Tribe had not finally all the tortoises retreated into the core tribe and was protected by the Fire Lion Group, it would have been enough to be completely destroyed in just less than a morning.
Originally, several leaders didn't believe in this rumor. After all, although the Fire Lion Tribe is not the most powerful among the tribes, it is not the weakest. Even if it faces several times their manpower, even if it can't be defeated, it can last at least one or two days.
Although the combat power reflected by the Fire God Tribe is very powerful, it cannot be so powerful, right?
Although they were mentally prepared, they didn't think that the Fire Lion Tribe could be destroyed in an instant. At least the two had to be equal.
It was really hard for them to accept from the bottom of their heart that the Vulcan tribe was so powerful. This was indeed a bit beyond their thinking and made them refuse to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.
But then, the messenger sent by the Fire Lion Tribe ruthlessly tore the last touch of gratitude in their hearts and put the cruel facts in front of them.
Although the Fire Lion Envoy had many false languages and kept embellishing this failure, who were the leaders? I immediately saw the truth of the matter from their expressions.
With the strength of the Fire Lion Tribe, it is not the enemy of the Fire Lion Tribe. Although the Fire Lion Tribe retreated in the end because of the Fire Lion Tribe, this does not mean that the Fire Lion Tribe is afraid of the Fire Lion Tribe. After all, Chen Xu, the Fire God himself, can fight with the Fire Lion without falling behind.
What's more, although the fire lion is a guardian beast of the tribe and has the responsibility to protect the tribe, if the opponent faces too strong, he knows that he will lose or predict that the tribe will suffer severe damage if he fights hard, and he will weigh the strength of it. If necessary, he will leave the tribe without hesitation.
The worst thing is that there are guardian beasts in these tribes, so how could there be no guardian beasts in the Fire God tribe that is stronger than them?
As the saying goes, the unknown is terrifying. Now they have no understanding of the guardian beasts of the Vulcan tribe. Invisibly, they are like a mountain, pressing on their hearts, so that they must carefully consider the consequences when they take any action.
The battle between the God of Fire and the Fire Lion quickly spread across the edges, and Chen Xu's reputation grew rapidly with this battle.
Under the intimidation of this battle, some apes who had originally had a greedy mind couldn't help but wake up, and they would never dare to have any bad thoughts about the Fire God Tribe for the time being.
Originally, the Fire Lion leader was counting on the other five tribe leaders to help mediate, to relieve the misunderstanding between the Fire Lion tribe and the Fire Lion tribe, and to restore the cut-off transactions between the two. However, after seeing the Fire Lion god so strong, thinking about what Chen Xu said to those envoys before the battle, the leaders all shirked their responsibilities one by one.
In the end, the Fire Lion leader could only helplessly hide in the core tribe, allowing the warriors of the Fire God tribe to show off their power and occupy their territory without daring to move.
What made the leaders relieved was that Chen Xu indeed abides by what he said to the envoys before. Except for not being able to discuss the matter of fighting against the Fire Lion Tribe, he did not impose any restrictions on other tribes in other aspects, such as transactions, trades and other fields, and everything was just like before the battle.
With the lessons of the Fire Lion Tribe, the tribes no longer dare to use any small tricks. Not only did they not reduce the number of transactions with the Fire Lion Tribe, but instead, they began to trade desperately because they were stimulated by the Fire Lion Tribe before.
For a time, the items of the Fire God Tribe appeared among the other five tribes at a rapid speed, and the poor Fire Lion Tribe could only exchange these items from the other tribes at a high price. At this time, the other tribes did not forget to add insults and slaughtered the Fire Lion Tribe.
At the same time, when the number of apes in the Vulcan tribe expanded rapidly, the caravan with members of the hunting team as the core began to set off.
Following the route that Chen Xu had arranged before, he set out from the Fire God Tribe, first to the Cangxiong Tribe, then to the Red Dragon Tribe, then turned west, passed through several tribes in turn, and finally bypassed the Fire Lion Tribe and returned to the Fire God Tribe.
This is the first time the caravan of the Vulcan Tribe. There are twenty-five apes in it, carrying some elite leather armor, bronzes, as well as many salt and daily necessities.
Chen Xu attached great importance to this first caravan operation. He had sent envoys to various tribes to declare that if anyone attacked the caravan, he would declare war on the Vulcan tribe, and both would not die.
The miserable fate of the Fire Lion Tribe is still on the side. Although the things brought by the Fire God Tribe this time are very jealous, each tribe weighed the gap between them and the Fire God Tribe and did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Moreover, this transaction involves bronzes and salt that the Vulcan tribe has always kept secret. It is very important to them and is the cornerstone of their tribe's strength.
I do not want this trade to become a one-time transaction for tribes, and I strictly prohibit anyone from taking action against this caravan. Violators will definitely be jointly attacked by the six major tribes.
This time, even the Fire Lion Tribe, which was very inconsistent with the Fire God Tribe, participated.
After a little buffering, the Vulcan tribe's suppression of the Fire Lion tribe gradually relaxed, and more so were the encirclement and suppression of surrounding beasts and the training of warriors. This made the leader of the Fire Lion tribe breathed a sigh of relief, and also seized any opportunity to repair his relationship with the Vulcan tribe.
During the years of being suppressed by the God of Fire, the Fire Lion Tribe was extremely miserable. The population of the tribe has only been 1,000 left, and has become the weakest among the few tribes. If it weren't for the checks and balances between the major tribes, they would have been annexed long ago.
But even so, they are living in dire straits now, so they naturally dare not offend the Vulcan tribe.
Under the attention of everyone, the first merchant group operation of the Vulcan Tribe achieved great success. Every time they arrived at a tribe, the apes in the merchant group were warmly welcomed. The leaders of each tribe personally met them and took out the most precious things in the tribe, wanting to trade with them.
What the leaders of the tribe didn't know was that when they were not paying attention, the details about their tribes had fallen into the eyes of some apes in the merchant group.
They quickly remembered it and found an opportunity to draw it on the dried sheepskin with a charcoal pen.
These apes are the elite among the Vulcan messengers, and have very good memory and description abilities.
Before the apes and men knew it, their most important things had been obtained by the Vulcan tribe, and as for other so-called treasures that were extremely precious in their eyes, they became irrelevant things.
According to Chen Xu's instructions, the apes in the caravan strictly carried out the identification of items, selected useful items that Chen Xu told them, and exchanged them with an appropriate amount of good things.
Finally, after walking around, the caravan of the Vulcan tribe traded out all the goods they carried, obtained detailed divisions and situations of each tribe, and also brought back a bunch of strange things.
Among them are strange plant seeds, hard animal bones, unknown metal ores, and some strange objects made of heaven and earth.
However, after I took these things to Chen Xu, there was only one thing that really attracted his attention. It was a yellow block. If you smell it carefully, it would smell it a pungent smell.
If you crush it with your hands, it will break into a light yellow powder, and a volatile smell will quickly float up, making people unable to help but feel pain in their heads.
"This is sulfur!"
Just a glance, Chen Xu recognized the yellow stone-like solid on his hand. If he had seen it well, it would have been the sulfur from later generations, exactly the same as the sulfur he had seen in his childhood in his previous life.
He waved his hand and asked the bird feather ape man beside him to take a torch, and Chen Xu put the sulfur on it. Sure enough, in a short while, a faint blue flame began to burn from the bottom, and a dizzy smoke quickly floated up. The smoke appeared a rich yellow color, like a stinky fart emitted by a skunk.
"***, it's really sulfur dioxide!?"
A hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes. Seeing the yellow smoke, Chen Xu sniffed it a little, couldn't help but cough, and completely confirmed the true identity of the object in his hand. This was sulfur, a piece of sulfur with a high purity.
He hurriedly pressed the burning sulfur into the soil, grind it hard, extinguished the flames on it, waved his hand casually to disperse the yellow smoke around him. Then he looked at the several ape messengers who were coughing continuously around him with excitement, and asked with his eyes glowing, "Tell me quickly, where did this thing come from?"
