‘易物集’所在的地方并不远，其实就在武斗场北门的一个空地上。

Tata was well versed in the road and quickly arrived at their destination with them.

This so-called barter is nothing more than a group of people sitting on the ground, spread out in front of a piece of animal skin, and placing some items on it, waiting for the person in the picture to come and exchange it.

In layman's terms, it is setting up a stall.

There are not many people setting up stalls, only more than a dozen stalls, but there are quite a lot of items on each stall.

Liu Tianyu followed, walking and stopping, and after wandering around for a while, he suddenly saw a black gadget, so he squatted down and was about to reach out to get it.

"Brother, you can't see it, it's the rule!"

But when Liu Tianyu's hand was just stretched out, he was reminded coldly by the stall owner.

Liu Tianyu took his hand back and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, little brother is here for the first time, but I don't know the rules here." ”

The stall owner is a middle-aged man, wearing only a pair of animal skin trousers on top and bottom, and the upper half of his body is barebacked. However, it can be seen from the scars all over this person's body that his strength should not be underestimated.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Fancy that, point it out, I can quote you a price." ”

The so-called price here is the item he wants to receive. There is no concept of money in the grassland, it is all barter, of course, if you have rare things such as gold, silver, copper and iron, it is naturally better.

Gold, silver, copper, and iron are very scarce things in the grasslands, and they are hard currencies that can be exchanged for anything of equal value.

Liu Tianyu looked at a thumb-sized, black stone, which looked like it was neither gold nor silver, and the surface was densely dented, full of erosion of time, and it looked like an ordinary small stone.

However, just now, when Liu Tianyu walked past this stall, the fragment of the stool in his arms actually emitted a burst of heat, especially when he swept his gaze over the small stone.

Liu Tianyu stretched out his finger and pointed, and then said, "This little black stone!" ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and picked up the small stone, with some disappointment in his eyes, it seemed that this stone was not a very precious thing in his heart.

However, the disappointment in the middle-aged man's eyes made Liu Tianyu secretly happy, and he felt that there should be no problem in taking this stone.

"You can take a horseshoe!" The middle-aged man held out a finger and said.

Horseshoe is the most versatile raw iron in the grassland, after high temperature refining, you can get fine iron, a piece of fine iron that can be smelted about the size of a baby's fist, suitable for making sharp daggers and spear heads, if sold to major tribes, can be exchanged for two cows or eight sheep.

Where Liu Tianyu has any horseshoe, he should be accurate

When he turned to look for Chaida, he saw a bald man with two guards approaching, one of whom seemed to have been instructed by the bald man to drop a horseshoe and say in a rather arrogant tone.

"We bought this thing!"

The aura on the bald man was very strong. Following the voice, Liu Tianyu looked at him, and he frowned at this look.

This man turned out to be Hur Chichi, the young patriarch of the first medium-sized tribe of Baltu, and his eldest brother was also a glorious king's guard.

There is a rule in barter, and that is on a first-come, first-served basis.

But that's not a rule of the royal family, it's just a tacit understanding formed between the major tribes.

But the identity of this Huer Chichi is not simple, not to mention the young patriarch of the first medium-sized tribe, even his eldest brother with a prominent identity is not something that a middle-aged person can provoke.

The middle-aged man sighed, and said apologetically to Liu Tianyu in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this brother, after they leave, you can pick one of the items here, and I will pay for it!" ”

If it was other items, Liu Tianyu would have laughed at it, but this little stone would not work.

Liu Tianyu shook his head and said, "This big brother, first come, first served, please give me something!" ”

Just when Liu Tianyu's words fell, two tall figures walked over, one of them was a big fat man of 300 catties without saying a word, took out a horseshoe and put it on the stall, and then said with a smile: "The rules in the barter set, I hope everyone can abide by them!" ”

Liu Tianyu turned his head and looked over, it turned out to be Chaida and Tata, who had left earlier, and it happened that they had come back to look for him.

Chaida spoke and said to Liu Tianyu: "Prophet Hada, take the things, let's go!" ”

These two guys completely ignored Hur Chichi and the others, but they behaved even more arrogantly.

The middle-aged man was embarrassed, but in the end he accepted Tata's horseshoe, after all, it was a tacit agreement set by the major tribes together, and he still had some fame in the barter business, if he took the lead in breaking the rules of the barter business, then in the future, he would have no credit at all the barter sets, and naturally no one would be willing to trade with him.

Taking the small stone in the middle-aged man's hand, Liu Tianyu excitedly put it in his arms, then looked at Tata and said, "Thank you!" ”

Chaida laughed and said: "Thank him for what he did, in the future, our two tribes will be brother tribes, this little favor, he has taken a big advantage." ”

Liu Tianyu was puzzled, but it was not the time to get to the bottom of it.

The two guards of Huer Chichi recognized Tata's identity, but they did not dare to continue to be arrogant, their status was compared with others, and they were not even as good as scum, and besides, their own masters did not speak, so they naturally did not dare to overstep their bounds.

The two guards kept their mouths shut, took the horseshoe back, and stood obediently

Behind Hurchichi.

Kuerchichi's face was gloomy, but he didn't have a seizure, he first glanced at Tata coldly, and then looked at Liu Tianyu, and in his tone, he said with a slight threat: "You take good care of this thing, Dabi Ben Shao will definitely come to the door to ask for it." ”

With that, Hur Chichi turned around and left in a hurry with two guards.

Liu Tianyu frowned, not because he was afraid of the threat of Hur Chichi, but because he didn't know why this Hur Chichi was so persistent in this small stone, it stands to reason that only he discovered the secret in this stone.

"Could it be that he also has a fragment of the search for the skull in his hand?" Thinking of this, Liu Tianyu's heart trembled, and then his eyes showed a blazing heat, if that was the case, he would very much welcome this Huer Chichi to visit him.

After the barter episode, everyone also lost interest in bartering, and at this time, the time for the next round of Dabi was almost up, so they chatted with each other, and then walked towards the martial arts arena together.

On the way, Chaida told Liu Tianyu that their Temuguda tribe and Ulan Muqi had formed a brotherly alliance, and in the ten years after the big competition, they had helped each other and benefited each other.

Also, if Temuguda can be promoted to a medium-sized tribe in Tabi this time, then as an ally, Ulan Muqi will give half of their slaves as a gift.

The promotion of medium-sized tribes has an upper limit of 30,000 people, and such a large number gap only depends on the free development of the tribe, or the exchange of cattle and sheep for slaves in other tribes to replenish, it will take a long time to complete, ten years seems to be a long time, but a lot of time to replenish the population will inevitably slow down the development of the tribe.

Medium-sized tribal competition is very cruel, and the ten warriors who participate in the 100 Dabi need a lot of resources to cultivate, once the next Dabi is eliminated and falls into the situation of a small tribe, then it will be difficult for them to turn over.

Ulanmuqi was able to provide a large number of slaves to supplement the population, so it is no wonder that Qaida was so happy.

But their tribe also needs to pay a price, and although this price will not affect the tribe too much, it will still have an impact in the end.

As for what the price is, it is actually very simple, that is, let Liu Tianyu, as an honorary prophet, take one day every year to Ulan Muqi for a memorial service.

This is a way to share the blessings of immortality, and it is also more popular in the grassland, many tribes will pay a huge price to hire the prophets of other tribes as honorary prophets because they do not have prophets, and of course, there are also tribes of equal strength that will ally with each other and form brother tribes to share the blessings of immortality.

After Liu Tianyu found out, he wouldn't be very disgusted, but he knew that he might have to resist the fate of another tribe again, but if he left this world in the near future, wouldn't he be tantamount to trapping them!

After returning to the martial arts arena, a new round of competition is about to begin.
