Chapter 269: Business Travel

On the desolate ancient road, a pair of mule and horse caravans of about 100 people slowly walked by.

This is a merchant group composed of more than a dozen merchant groups.

This kind of business is simply a normal thing in this crisis-ridden witch world.

It's just that the caravan is followed by a giant bull, which is a bit out of harmony. After all, because of domestication and feeding, using mules and horses is the most cost-effective.

The bull was as big as a colossus, and there was a big cart behind it, and there were only two people and a bird on it. And a cart of goods covered with animal skins, I don't know what it is.

These two people and one bird are Jiang Tao and his party.

After Jiang Tao was injured that day, the giant stopped pursuing. Maybe Yu Hanwu didn't think about what to do with Jiang Tao, or maybe because of the influence of the dust, the giant couldn't see Jiang Tao, so he spontaneously went back.

But Jiang Tao couldn't put his precious life on these possibilities, so he let Junmao run on his back for a long time before stopping.

Jiang Tao forcibly used the spell this time, and his body was seriously injured, and he was unable to move for several days.

Junmao had no choice but to find a brute beast to walk around.

This brute beast is a wild species, full of wildness.

But the little girl Junmao's profession is to tame animals, so it won't be long before she becomes a domestic spirit animal.

During this period, because of Jun Mao's relationship, Huang Lianyun also ran to the original Chi Cage tribe, told them that the attack failed, told them to run quickly, and then flew back.

Whether the people of the Chi Cage tribe believe it or not, it doesn't matter to them.

Jiang Tao and the two of them did not go in the direction of the rising sun as originally planned, but walked in a random direction because they ended up with the Han tribe.

Along the way, they ate and slept in the open, fortunately, there was a little girl Junmao, otherwise Jiang Tao estimated that even if he didn't die from the spell backlash, he would die of hunger. As for Huang Lianyun, you can't expect a bird to cook.

Within a few days, Jiang Tao and the others met a group of traveling merchants.

In this group of traveling merchants, I asked for some knowledge of geography. and learned that their destination was a witch city.

Since Jiang Tao was seriously injured, it was not suitable to hurry quickly, so he went on the road with this group of slow businessmen.

Along the way, these merchants would stop and exchange goods with people whenever they met the village tribes, and the time dragged on even longer.

It's just that Jiang Tao was in a hurry to recuperate, so he didn't leave the team. Thinking that there was nothing to do at this time, and that it seemed that he needed some money to go to the big city, he exchanged some goods and a cart with the caravan by hunting some brute beasts.

I don't know what the power of the Wu clan thinks, this world is extremely dangerous, there are countless predators in the wilderness, Jiang Tao and they have to follow these experienced caravans to continue to move forward, otherwise their lives will not be guaranteed.

On this day, Jiang Tao and the others followed the caravan to rest in a village as usual.

This is an ordinary tribe of witches, much larger than the Yuhan tribe, about thousands of people, and their height is the same as that of normal people.

The caravans set up camp in a clearing outside the tribe and placed their goods in front of their hides tents, waiting for the arrival of the tribe's guests.

Jiang Tao has seen these commodities countless times, all of them are salt, needlework, and even weapons. There are also some delicate utensils or luxury items such as silk.

What they want to exchange is also the animal skins and herbs of the tribe, which can be regarded as interchangeable.

It's safe to follow the caravan, and you don't have to worry about these tribes doing it.

Not to mention that there were some powerful warriors in the caravans, and the tribe also needed these caravans to bring them goods, especially salt. This is an indispensable material.

Inevitably, there was a misunderstanding and conflict with this tribe, and people had been sent to inform the tribe long before the caravan came, so as soon as the caravan set up camp, tribesmen came to pick up the goods they needed.

Today, Jiang Tao is also a small merchant in the caravan, and he instructed Jun Mao to place his goods in an open space, mainly salt, and some goods exchanged with other tribes.

Salt is not uncommon in modern society, but it is a best-selling product in this world, and you don't have to worry about selling it wherever you go.

And the size of salt is small, so Jiang Tao replaced most of the goods with salt to make it easier to carry.

Jiang Tao is not a real businessman after all, and doing business is only a disguise and making some money.

However, the tribe is mostly bartered, and perhaps the most common currency in this place is salt.

Jiang Tao walked out of a small animal skin tent, and his slightly pale face knew at a glance that he had just recovered from a serious illness.

The old merchants in the caravan said that Jiang Tao was very talented, but in just a few days, he changed from a hairy boy who knew nothing to a relatively 'shrewd' businessman.

In fact, the reason why people in this world do not communicate widely at this time is that Jiang Tao has learned this kind of small trick in the business when he was a child.

But Junmao is not good, although she is smart and has extremely high qualifications, she has always been trained as the future successor of the tribe.

Since childhood, he has been exposed to how to become a powerful warrior, or how to obtain the power of witches, and he has never even bought anything, or even traded upside down.

God knows how he did it upside down with barter.

Fortunately, after a few times, I learned a little from Jiang Tao, and Jiang Tao felt that it would not be long before she could let go and let her watch the stall sell things by herself.

While I was thinking about it, a guest arrived.

The man was a middle-aged man, with a leather skirt around his lower body, his naked upper body covered with large and small scars, and a wild beast that looked like a goat but had a golden body on his shoulder.

This beast Jiang Tao knew that it was a great tonic and would help Jiang Tao's injuries to a certain extent.

It's just that this thing is scarce, and Jiang Tao has exchanged a leg of mutton for the rest of the caravan for so long.

As soon as he saw this good thing, Jiang Tao hurriedly stepped forward and talked with the man.

"This big brother stays!"

"What's the matter?" This middle-aged man had a simple face when he spoke, as if he was saying hurry up and lie to me.

If Jiang Tao were a businessman, he would definitely use some tricks to buy this thing at a super low price, but Jiang Tao was not, and he didn't value these ordinary goods.

"I wonder what kind of goods this big brother wants?" This is Jiang Tao's harvest from doing business these days.

It is best to know what the other party needs first, and then prescribe the right medicine, so as to maximize your own benefits.

"I need salt and needlework." The middle-aged man said.

"Salt and needlework." Jiang Tao repeated.

Don't underestimate these two things, even though they aren't expensive in the real world. But here, it's ridiculously expensive, and it's a must-have, you can't buy it.

Not to mention salt, needlework is necessary for sewing animal skin clothes.

Two things can be said to be food and wear, one is indispensable.
