Chapter 264: One Hundred Thousand Mountains
Early the next morning, the patriarch launched a mobilization and asked everyone to hand over all the sand and iron that might exist in the family.
Not to mention, after rummaging, I really found a lot, because the sand iron is very hard, many people will take it home after picking it up, which can always come in handy.
There are even people who put sand iron in the corner of the wall as a stone to build a house, and when An Xu watched the man cut a large piece of sand and iron off the wall, he couldn't help but feel his eyelids jump.
This is sand iron, such a large piece of sand iron, placed in Hidden Moon City, I am afraid that it can be worth dozens of gold coins, so it was used as a wall stone, if Sha Tie also knows how to think, he will definitely feel sad for his fate.
Fortunately, An Xu appeared, and this piece of sand iron will play a real value in his hands.
By noon, at least thirty or forty pieces of sand and iron had been placed in front of An Xu, which was already all the amount that could be collected in this tribe.
But the old patriarch was still a little dissatisfied, and from time to time he could be heard complaining loudly: "You stupid boys, why don't you usually pick up more, and now you can't take them out when you need them." ”
"But, patriarch, every time you leave, you don't say you don't need to take anything else away except for daily necessities, a lot of the sand and stones here are still picked up recently." Some people are not convinced.
The old patriarch's eyes widened, and he wanted to say a few words, but An Xu stopped him and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's already good to be able to collect so much." ”
To be honest, An Xu really didn't expect to be able to collect a large pile of sand and iron so quickly, according to his plan, it would take at least a while for these people to notice the value of sand and iron and then collect it.
"Hey, there are a lot of these things in the desert, but now it's full of sand monsters, almost no one dares to go in and look for them, if you concentrate on action, you may not be able to find much!" The old patriarch sighed.
"No, although sand iron is precious, it is not worth exchanging human lives, if the desert is really dangerous, we will think of other ways!"
An Xu stopped this plan, and then hugged his arms, his fingers moved slightly, and his heart had already begun to think! He ignored the factor of sand monsters, and now that there are sand monsters in the desert, it is undoubtedly very difficult to obtain sand iron.
These sand irons, although theoretically can create dozens of sets of Silver Dawn, however, it is necessary to calculate the probability of failure, forging well-level equipment is definitely far more complicated than forging ordinary equipment, and failure is also a common thing.
According to the probability of succeeding once in three times, to create dozens of sets of Silver Dawn, you have to prepare more than a hundred copies of sand and iron, not including the stage of practicing forging Silver Dawn, and the failure rate is definitely higher.
Where are the rest of the sand and iron going to come from?
Seeing that An Xu was thinking about everyone's safety, the patriarch couldn't help it, and said to himself: "Hey, it's a pity that the tribes have often migrated in recent years, and a lot of sand and iron have been thrown away, otherwise there will definitely be more left!" Although other tribes have it, their situation is similar......"
An Xu's ears moved, and he asked, "Are there many tribes here?" ”
The patriarch pointed to the mountain range behind him and said, "Do you see this hill, no one knows where they extend at all, some people have climbed over for several months, and they don't see the end, and finally they can only return helplessly, which is why we are closed here!" People call this place 100,000 mountains, and there are countless tribes living in these mountains, how many are there, even the old people don't know, just in this nearby area, there are nearly ten tribes of all sizes! ”
"So much!" Doudou inhaled on the side, and his hometown was surrounded by mountains, but those mountains were more steep and not wide.
Although An Xu had asked Xiao Rui before, the child obviously didn't know how to describe it, so An Xu didn't have any concept of this land.
Now listening to the patriarch, An Xu felt what is called vastness, and there is still no end in sight after several months of crossing mountains and mountains, what is this concept, for example, walk along the Huiye border by walking, which is almost this time.
But don't forget, it's a straight line, and this comparison immediately shows how extraordinary this mountain range is.
Even with it, everyone is in awe of this mountain range!
"Then, don't you know that there is an interaction between the Hanshan tribe and other tribes? If I provide such a weapon, can I exchange it for sand iron from them? An Xu asked the question he was most concerned about.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and if each tribe can take out so much sand and iron, it will not be mosquito meat, but a piece of meat that is extremely tender.
"Of course, as long as you know that you can exchange sand and iron for weapons, those tribes will definitely come over with sand and iron, and even some distant tribes are willing to come over to trade, although our Hanshan tribe is only a small tribe, but it still has some contact with the surrounding tribes!" The patriarch affirmed.
An Xu pondered: "That's it, please help me relay the news to the patriarch, just say that you can exchange sand and iron for weapons here, but don't reveal the identity of my forger!" ”
The Hanshan tribe is just a small tribe, excluding the old and young, women and children, there are only dozens of people who can really fight, and with the ability of An Xu and his party, it is enough to ensure their own safety, and they will retreat with their whole body, so An Xu does not need to hide anything.
But for other tribes, An Xu doesn't know much about it, maybe some tribes are not as friendly as the Hanshan tribe, An Xu understands very well what a forging master who can infinitely forge equipment here, what it means here, it will inevitably make some people with superior strength move different thoughts.
Therefore, An Xu didn't want to reveal his identity as a forger until he was sure of his safety. If it's just a limited number of weapons, it won't cause much turmoil.
The patriarch nodded, even if An Xu didn't say it, he didn't want to reveal the identity of An Xu's forging master, just as An Xu thought, all the tribes were not an iron bucket with each other, the Hanshan tribe was too small, if some powerful tribes knew that there was a forging division here, it would bring huge disasters to the tribe.
"Okay, I'll have someone inform the other tribes in a while, but it's a bit far, each tribe has its own sphere of influence, and it will take less than half a day to reach the nearest tribe!" The patriarch said.
"Don't worry, just let everyone pay attention to safety!" An Xu smiled and said, "Then, please ask the patriarch to help me arrange a quiet place, I also have to prepare something for the transaction!" ”
"Here?" The patriarch was stunned, he knew that An Xu was going to prepare forging weapons, but he thought that forging was a very complicated matter, and it would take at least a long time to prepare.
An Xu nodded, this time when he went out, he had expected such a situation a long time ago.
Since the storage space was large enough, he crammed a whole set of forging facilities into it, and at the same time, there was a large pile of ordinary ore, just forging some ordinary level weapons was enough, and he only needed a sheltered room.
Of course, because An Xu's efficiency is not very high, so you need to prepare in advance, the weapons you carry are limited, and they are all small in size, and when others come over with sand iron, you can't get a weapon that you are satisfied with, it will be embarrassing.
"Okay, I'll let people prepare!" The patriarch hurriedly replied, the forging master is extremely mysterious, and he also wants to see some forging techniques in the outside world, if he can learn some, it will be the protection of the gods.
The patriarch just wanted to call someone, but saw a figure running from the mountain pass, it was the Hanshan Iron Bull who was monitoring in front, this muscular man ran out of breath, and shouted as soon as he came over: "Patriarch, the sand monster is coming!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the patriarch's face completely changed, and even some of the surrounding tribesmen heard the news, and their faces were panicked.
It stands to reason that these sand monsters have just driven them away, and they won't catch up so early, why is this time so sudden.
Since he didn't have any knowledge of the sand monster, An Xu didn't feel anything in his heart, but judging from the expressions of these Hanshan tribesmen, he was obviously afraid of the sand monster to the core.
"How many?" The patriarch asked, grabbing Iron Bull's arm.
"Not much, only seen more than 20, I should just be here to explore the way! I just don't know if there's anything hidden under the sand, I'm afraid they'll move too fast, so I'll come first. "Cold Mountain Iron Bull Road.
"You go and tell the warriors of the tribe to gather, and the others go and hide in the mountains!" The patriarch commanded, and then looked at An Xu with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the sand monster to attack at this time, you guys should hide first!" ”
"Don't get in the way, don't worry, I can protect myself!" An Xu was also very curious about what kind of creature these people were talking about in the Hanshan tribe.
