"Bang"
A wooden box was unloaded from the truck and carried by two strong tribal warriors with oil paint on their bodies and placed in front of a large makeshift tent.
Chief Long Xin's loyal guard, a dark-skinned warrior wearing an animal bone helmet and bright feathers on his head, over two meters and three meters tall, bent down and easily opened the lid of the wooden box.
There were ten rifles neatly stacked inside.
The gun body made of sour pear wood is polished smoothly, the black barrel emits a cold light, and there are matching bayonets and bullet bags next to it. Each gun is made exactly the same, exuding an industrial beauty.
A smile appeared under the warrior's helmet.
He picked up a gun, loaded the bullets skillfully, pulled the bolt, and fired in a not-so-standard standing position, with the gun against his shoulder, aiming at the sausages hung by the locals thirty meters away.
"Bang"
The low sound startled the tribesmen who were watching the fun nearby.
Amid the pungent smoke, the bullet accurately hit the center of the sausage, causing the meat to explode and fall off, attracting a scramble from several dogs nearby.
"good!"
The chief's guard nodded in satisfaction.
He threw the well-made musket in his hand to his companion.
He walked forward, leaning on the steeply curved sword at his waist. The guards brought by the chief were taking out weapons loaded in several trucks with the help of the shopkeeper and the shop assistants of Kunlunfang.
The whole scene was very busy.
Box after box of weapons were carried down and sent to the prepared oxcarts. Soon, more than a dozen oxcarts were filled with weapons and ammunition.
But there was still a steady stream of boxes being carried down.
“This car is great!”
The chief guard patted the steel cart with a touch of surprise, and a trace of envy and desire flashed in his eyes. He turned to the shopkeeper who was calculating with an abacus beside him and said:
"Will you sell this car?"
"It's not for sale for the time being, sir."
The shopkeeper, who was carefully selected by the fourth brother, smiled gently and said to the tall warrior in front of him in the local dialect, relying on the chip translation:
“Maybe it will be sold in a few years. Customers can go to the back few cars to have a look. There are also fine swords forged by master craftsmen using secret methods, as well as some fine firearms.
But the price is higher.”
"Hmm? Is there anything better?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the captain of the guard, and he walked quickly towards the trucks behind with several of his followers.
These trucks have been modified so that their cabins can be opened to all four sides and are equipped with supporting machinery. Once opened, they become a platform for displaying and selling goods.
This time, the fourth brother brought not only a large number of firearms and ammunition, but also some Eastern specialties, of many kinds and very comprehensive. This was to find out the preferences of the tribesmen here and to facilitate large-scale purchases in the future.
Several carts loaded with muskets were surrounded by the chief's guards, who did not allow anyone else to approach.
But there are not so many rules for the following cars.
The Southern Wilds are still a tribal society, and commercial activities are rare. This time a large merchant caravan came from the East, and the news was informed to the tribesmen of several local villages in advance.
Therefore, when the stall in Kunlunfang was set up, it was already surrounded by curious men and women, and some children were attracted to the side by the candied haws brought by the car.
It's very lively with all the chirping going on.
The members of the Longxin clan looked at the shop assistants from the East with curiosity and surprise as they unfolded pieces of exquisite, colorful cloth.
This attracted a group of young girls to chatter.
There were also various jewelry made of gold and silver placed on the stalls, filled with jewels, with elegant shapes, as well as some thick and exaggerated gold chains, which also attracted the restless boys and girls to scramble to inquire about the prices.
Finally, there are some cold weapons such as swords and sabers.
It is not a spirit-possessed item.
But they were all forged by Malte using alloy. Compared with the smelting technology created by the natives of the Southern Wilderness with the help of magical powers such as monsters, these swords are not top-notch.
But they are definitely top-quality products, which made the warriors in the village linger.
As for the last car.
The car did not have its trunk unfolded, making it look mysterious, and it only invited guests to get on board and take a look.
There are some fine firearms on display inside.
Compared with common muskets, these are more sophisticated, and there are also elementary semi-automatic ones like the Lewis rifle. These muskets are very expensive and ordinary tribesmen simply cannot afford them.
But for the upper class in the Longxin clan, it is a very good thing.
The heavy trucks lined up in a row, creating a mobile street, making the village bustling with activity. Some goods had already been sold, but Lao Si was in no hurry to sell them.
This trade between the two sides is just the beginning.
This chamber of commerce will last for six or seven days.
In addition to this village, Lao Si also visits several nearby villages. While doing business, he also needs to understand the local people's livelihood.
But there's no rush now.
Now the fourth old shopkeeper is following his boss to attend the welcome banquet specially held for them by Chief Longxin.
In the hall at the center of the village, Chief Long Xinmaha sat on the main seat, the village chief sat on the side, and several tribal witches also sat on the right.
On the left side are the guests.
The people of the Southern Wilderness do not respect the left, but it seems that this banquet was arranged in advance by the chief to accommodate the guests from the East. This small detail made Jiang Xia very satisfied.
This represents Chief Longsinmaha's attention to his side and is a good start to the cooperation.
"Haha, when Great Wizard Wuhe gave me that gift that day, I thought it was just a toy. But later, when he let his warriors fight, I realized the benefits of the musket."
Chief Longxinmaha, who is over 50 years old this year, is a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Although he has a pot belly, his broad shoulders and straight back still show that this chief must have been an extremely brave man when he was young.
He has broad cheeks, somewhat similar to Qian Duo.
However, the red patterns painted on his face should be a tribal custom and not ugly. The patterns were also painted in the shape of animals. Combined with the chief's bright and fierce eyes, it added a sense of majesty.
The chief could speak Eastern dialect, which was not very fluent, which saved the trouble of translation.
He sat at the top, with maids dressed in wild styles behind him, holding up a ceremonial guard made of peacock feathers for him. There was also incense burned by the great witches, which was not bad smelling and filled the hall with a cloud of smoke.
The style suddenly became more elevated.
"Fortunately, my child has become a fellow disciple of Monk Jiang. This makes it more convenient for our two families to do business."
The chief laughed, picked up the rough bronze cup in front of him, and raised it to Jiang Xia's side.
Jiang Xia also smiled and raised his glass in response.
He is a cultivator, and although everyone knows that Kunlun Square is his property, this involves transactions between mortals, especially weapons, so it is not convenient to talk about it in this occasion.
The fourth brother will answer on behalf of Jiangxia.
The fourth brother has been practicing his eloquence during this period. Relying on his knowledge of the customs of the Southern Wilderness stored in the chip, he flatters people with witty remarks and uses his flattery skills to the extreme.
The words were extremely pleasant to the ears of the chief, and several accompanying witches also nodded repeatedly.
They also got the benefits in advance.
Otherwise, it would be up to Wuhe Great Wizard alone. Even if the musket was really powerful, he would not be able to persuade the chief to make up his mind so quickly.
Lao Jiang is very familiar with this kind of work.
I have done this countless times in my previous life. As the saying goes, it is easy to see the King of Hell but difficult to avoid the devils. If I don't build good relationships with the target person in advance, even the best deal will be ruined.
"Boss, the spiritual herbs, spiritual wood, monster bones, and various minerals that Long Xin used as payment have been delivered."
Ruyue's voice rang out in the Jiangxia chip communication.
Secretary Zheng is outside at the moment, in charge of the handover.
She said:
"I've seen the quality, they're all top-quality materials, and the price is 10% higher than what was agreed. I heard it was the chief's idea, so please stay in the East and take care of Qian Duo for him."
"Only 10%?"
Jiang Xia was holding , enjoying the clan-style singing and dancing in front of her. These women from the Southern Wilderness had slim waists, long legs, and healthy wheat-colored skin.
She was wearing local clothes, which were hot, tight and extremely exotic.
The fourth one beside him has already gotten used to it.
This guy just can’t change his lewd habit, but as a man... I understand.
"It seems that Qian Duo is really not favored by his father. Even when he entrusts others to take care of him, he is so stingy. The little fat boy doesn't like to come back, which may be related to this.
There is really not much point in staying in a home that does not welcome wanderers."
Lao Jiang expressed his feelings .
He took a sip of wine and said to Kisaragi:
"Where's Qianduo? Why can't I see him?"
"The little fat guy seems a little sad. He may not be able to accept our style of doing things for a while, and it is difficult for him to accept that we are selling weapons to Nanhuang."
Kisaragi replied calmly:
"He just left the village alone, saying he was going to worship at his mother's ancestral land. It is said that it is not too far from here."
"Ah, young man."
Jiang Xia shook his head slightly and said:
"It will take me a while to finish here. Let Liu Hui watch him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. Also, the chief said he would treat us to a local specialty, the Thousand Insect Feast.
Won’t you come and try it?”
"I'll let it go."
Ruyue was silent for a few breaths and said:
"So many bugs... I really can't handle them all. Boss, do you want to practice double cultivation tonight?"
"OK."
Jiang Xia responded with a smile:
"But your favorite bath is no longer here."
"I just asked the locals, there is a magical spring on the nearby mountain, it is said to be a hot spring... I will wait for you there tonight."
——
"Quack"
The loud croaking of frogs echoed in the mountains, startling the birds in the forest.
On the winding mountain road, a huge alien demon toad, with Long Xin Qianduo on its head, was moving towards the quiet valley step by step.
This demon toad is called Ah Fu.
He is Qianduo's best friend and also his blood-bound spirit beast.
Its appearance had not changed much from when it first appeared in Mo Shuang Mountain, but the wooden mask with blood patterns on its face was gone.
The mask with the elf spirit pattern was shattered by War-Yan's shot.
The left eye of the magic toad was also blinded. Now the left eye of this big toad is covered with a piece of leather like an eye mask, which is a magic weapon made by Qianduo himself.
Can help your friends' vision not be affected.
In addition, this magic toad with both water and earth spiritual roots is a circle larger than before, and the purple stones covering its body are also thicker and more ferocious.
The magic patterns on his body are also brighter.
Qianduo sold himself in exchange for Ahfu's magical powers.
The magical power of the Ashes Elixir was bestowed upon this alien spirit beast, with outstanding effects, further enhancing Ah Fu's combat power.
"Why does everyone want to hurt each other? Why can't everyone just sit together peacefully?"
Qianduo sat cross-legged on top of Ahfu with a melancholy look on his face.
He looked at the valley getting closer and closer, sighed, and said to the spirit beast under him:
“I thought the boss was just a bit fierce and had a bad temper, but he was generally a good person, but I didn’t expect that he would actually do this kind of business that harms people’s lives.
It’s also my fault that I didn’t ask clearly before signing the contract with him.
Alas, there is nothing we can do to stop it now.
Now that my father has that deadly firearm, perhaps after the next Heaven and Earth Festival, he will go to war with several surrounding tribes. Why?"
Qian Duo whispered:
"He already has such a large territory, why is he still not satisfied?"
"Quack"
Ah Fu could understand Qian Duo's words, but as a spiritual beast, it could not understand the complex thinking of humans.
It is just a toad after all.
In its cognition.
The strong have everything, the weak lose everything. This is the law of the monster clan. What's surprising?
However, the closer he got to the place where he was born, the more Ah Fu liked it. He was born in this quiet valley in front of him. This time, it was not just Qianduo who was returning home.
It's also home.
But at the moment of jumping into the valley, Ah Fu suddenly yelled and slapped the ground with his claws, causing the surrounding earth to break and shake. In an instant, he forced out a group of guys who were hiding.
"Um?"
Qian Duo reacted very quickly. He grabbed the pistol that Jiang Xia had stuffed into his hand and opened fire at the front. The moment the group of people were forced out, they used their magic weapons to shoot at him and Ah Fu.
This is an ambush!
No.
This is a murder...
Qian Duo knew without even thinking who had arranged all this.
At this moment, a surge of anger surged in his heart.
I ran away far away!
I have said that I don't want to compete with them for these worldly things! But they still don't want to let me go!
Those people he called brothers and sisters...
How can they be so cruel!
"Afu!"
“Beat them!!!”
