Reaching out to take the stone bowl handed by the bloodline warrior of the Giant Turtle Tribe, Lie nodded slightly.

Then, he untied the bamboo tube from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and poured the blood of the beast inside into the bowl.

On the side, Cangyue also took out an animal skin bag and was pouring the blood of the fierce beast into the bowl.

Is there an entrance fee?

Seeing this scene, Lin Luo couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

The blood of a fierce beast is different from the blood of ordinary beasts, and the spiritual power contained in the blood can make it store for a long time without drying up.

Therefore, in this primitive world without currency, the blood of the beast is considered a hard currency for inter-tribal transactions.

And Lie and Cangyue's actions were also obviously handing over the blood of the fierce beast to the giant turtle tribe, which naturally made Lin Luo immediately think of the entrance fee.

While Lin Luo was thinking, Lie had already filled the stone bowl in his hand and handed it back to the bloodline warrior.

Reaching out to take the blood of the beast that was handed back, the bloodline warrior immediately poured it into the clay pot beside him.

After that, he said, "Let's go in!"

After speaking, the bloodline warrior suddenly glanced at Zixiao beside Lin Luo again, and added: "Remember to take care of your war pets, if you hurt someone, you know the consequences." ”

"Understood. ”

Hearing this, Lie immediately nodded at him in response.

Then, he led everyone to the giant turtle tribe.

"Wow, it's so hilarious!"

As soon as he walked through the gate into the Giant Turtle Tribe, Feng's eyes widened again and he exclaimed.

If the Bamboo Tribe is compared to a small village, then the Giant Turtle Tribe is definitely a town-level existence.

As far as the eye can see, stone houses of various sizes are connected together, and the streets are also very lively with people.

At this moment, Feng looked like a hillbilly who had entered the city for the first time, and his face was full of surprise and kept looking around.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many people.

After all, even the Bamboo Tribe, whose population had skyrocketed at this time, still had less than one-tenth of the total population of the Giant Turtle Tribe.

"What's this, it's the real buzz over there. ”

Looking at Feng, whose face was full of surprise, Yong immediately smiled at him and said.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Feng's face was suddenly full of anticipation.

"Uncle Lie, is the blood of the fierce beast just now the entrance fee to the city?"

On the other side, after entering the Giant Turtle Tribe, Lin Luo turned his head to Lie and asked.

"Entrance fee?"

Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Lie's face suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

Obviously, he didn't understand what Lin Luo's mouth meant by the entrance fee to the city.

"Uh......"

Looking at the puzzled Lie on his face, Lin Luo didn't know how to explain to him in a popular way for a while.

In the end, he simply asked Xiang Lie directly: "When we entered the city, why did we give blood to the fierce beasts of the giant turtle tribe?"

"That's the rules of the fair. ”

Lie explained to Lin Luo, "All the tribes participating in the fair must hand over a bowl of fierce beast blood to the Giant Turtle Tribe.

In exchange, the Giant Turtle Tribe guarantees the safety of all tribes during the fair. ”

Feelings are protection money!

Hearing this, Lin Luo's face suddenly showed a clear expression.

In this barbaric primitive society, credibility is naturally fragile, and the only thing that can be trusted is strength.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for two tribes with very different strengths to make a deal between them.

Because, under the premise that safety cannot be guaranteed, the weaker tribes will be very wary, fearing that the other party will directly snatch their trade.

In this case, if there is a more powerful tribe that can provide a safe trading environment for both sides of the transaction, it will naturally greatly weaken the wariness of the smaller tribe.

And at this moment, the giant turtle tribe is undoubtedly playing such a role.

All the tribes that come to the fair, as long as they enter the range of the Giant Turtle Tribe, the Giant Turtle tribe will ensure their safety during the fair.

Of course, the premise of ensuring safety is that you must pay some fierce beast blood to the giant turtle tribe in exchange.

Over the years, the Giant Turtle Tribe has been doing a very good job in this regard, and no matter how weak the tribe that comes to the fair, they will treat it equally.

It is precisely this good reputation that has gradually accumulated that makes the scale of the Giant Turtle Tribe Trade Fair bigger and bigger.

From just two or three tribes participating, it has grown to the point where as many as 30 or 40 tribes come to participate every year.

"So, when you first started checking the totem, was it just to confirm the amount of beast blood collected?"

Lin Luo asked towards Lie.

As Lie said just now, the standard for the Giant Turtle Tribe to collect the blood of the fierce beast is based on the number of tribes, not the number of trading teams.

In this way, it is very likely that some tribes will choose to pretend to be a tribe in order to pay less of a "protection fee".

In this regard, examining the totem is undoubtedly the best way to distinguish it.

After all, the totem is a status symbol and it is impossible to fake.

"Hmm. ”

Hearing this, Lie nodded.

But then he continued: "In addition to checking the totem to confirm the amount of blood collected from the beast, it is more important to confirm the identity.

Because, in addition to the tribes that often come to the fair, sometimes there are some unfamiliar tribes who come to participate.

In the past, there were cases of strange tribes forcibly snatching trade goods, and many people died in clashes.

Since then, the Giant Turtle Tribe has taken this aspect very seriously.

For those unfamiliar tribes that they are not familiar with, after confirming the identity of the other party, they will send special people to keep an eye on them in case the previous incident happens again. ”

"I didn't expect that the giant turtle tribe is quite responsible!"

Hearing Lie's explanation, Lin Luo's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

In such a barbaric primitive world, the Giant Turtle Tribe can definitely be regarded as a conscientious organizer if it can do this in order to ensure the safety of other tribes.

Thinking about Wu's introduction to the Giant Turtle Tribe before, Lin Luo suddenly realized.

In this primitive world full of dangers, the way of survival between tribes does not seem to be as barbaric and singular as he imagined before.

......

For primitive tribes, who had always been rude, urban planning was clearly non-existent.

All kinds of large and small messy stone houses are scattered, so that the streets of the giant turtle tribe are also twisted, and all kinds of forks and dead ends can be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, Lie and the others come to the trade fair every year, and they are quite familiar with the streets in the giant turtle tribe.

After walking all the way through a few forks in the road, there was a noisy human voice in front of me.

It's time for the trading area where the trade fair will be held!
