Chapter 50 To each according to his needs

Guo Sen felt that he seemed to have underestimated these sheep people too much at the beginning.

Although they could not use fire and did not have the process of metal smelting, it now seems that they have developed civilization in a different direction.

Different from the simple rock houses that Guo Sen saw outside, these houses made of rock salt seem to be much more refined.

The rectangular rock salt crystals were stacked horizontally and vertically, and even hung with straw-woven curtains.

In front of the salt hut, a group of sheep men are loading crushed rock salt into stone containers, which are then ground into minced pieces with sticks. The scraps are then poured into a box made of wood.

The boxes seem to have been pulled out of a single piece of stake with a tool, and they are quite delicate.

The boxes were then sealed with hay and delivered to the sheep who had just come in from outside.

The sheep men returned the same way with the wooden boxes in their hands, and the curious Guo Sen also followed them and came outside again.

After they had come out and brought a considerable amount of jerky, they followed a steep mountain path for a long time, until they came to a halt at the edge of a large sparse wood.

Then, Guo Sen suddenly saw some familiar people walking out of it, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

It's a bunch of dwarves!

Unlike the dwarves on the continent before them, these dwarves seem to be more like the ones who have evolved better.

Their body hair is sparse, and they don't have the beards of the dwarves they saw before, and although they are also very short, the muscles on their bodies are not obvious, and they look fat overall.

These dwarves were only dressed in simple animal skins, which were the same as the fur of small animals raised by the sheep.

Guo Sen wondered a little, where did these dwarves come from?

If it's so close, it shouldn't all be sheep, right, why are the dwarves still here?

Guo Sen looked at another piece of land, which was actually separated by a sea from this land.

Suddenly, he had a bold idea.

Could it be that when he divided the land, he also divided the tribes of the dwarves?

Or is this the dwarf that evolved from the primitive dwarves on this continent? However, this is obviously only speculation.

They may have traveled from the margins of the Partition to this place after many years of long journeys to recuperate.

Guo Sen saw that the dwarves seemed to be holding a small pile of things in their hands.

Well? Is that......

Obviously, that's a gem!

Unlike the rock salt seen before, this crystalline object has a bright, pure color, even in the hands of dirty dwarves, it is shimmering.

Does it mean, then, that the sheep people take rock salt and jerky, and the dwarves take precious stones......

A few sheep men holding the wooden box walked over, handed the wooden box and the jerky to the dwarf, and hissed hoarsely.

The dwarves nodded, and the same number came out, taking each other's belongings, and at the same time placing the gem in the hands of the goatmen.

The sheep seemed to be quite fond of this gem, rubbing their fur vigorously, and even holding it up to the star, and grinning their mouths.

The dwarves, on the other hand, looked at the rock salt and jerky with a smile on their faces, as if to them it was more important than a gem!

They're trading!

In the Deal!

Guo Sen suddenly felt that the excitement in his heart was irrepressible!

The sheep man, who seems to be extremely backward, has actually learned to trade!

It's almost unthinkable, and it's happening right now.

These two different races will use barter to seek what they want, rather than through war and plunder......

Isn't that a great step forward?

Guo Sen didn't know if the two races had fought before, or whether they had fought to the death for what they wanted, but now it seems that this peaceful method they used to exchange each other's needs is also quite a strong stroke in the evolutionary history of the entire civilization of the earth.

The dwarves value salt and jerky very much, and the gems in their hands are estimated to have a well-developed mining industry, which they use to exchange with the sheep people, and the sheep people even have a considerable scale of salt mining and breeding in order to obtain this gem.

This can be said to be a way for each to take what they need and jointly promote the development of the other.

Presumably, the fur worn by the dwarves is also obtained through barter, right?

This kind of symbiotic civilization system has never been seen by Guo Sen before, let alone imagined.

The sheep people who don't even have their own language system are not as backward as they imagined, and their consciousness is much more advanced than all the races they have seen before.

If they can keep their civilization alive, they will be a pretty powerful merchant race.

As for the dwarves of this land, Guo Sen felt that they seemed to be far behind than they had seen before, except that they could trade.

At present, even food can only be obtained by trading with the sheep people, they probably have no mature smelting technology, let alone decent hunting ability, before trading with the sheep people, it is estimated that they are satiated with tree fruits and roots every day, barely alive, right?

In order to verify his inference, Guo Sen kept moving his gaze forward and came to this huge sparse jungle.

Sure enough, he didn't go far before he saw a somewhat hidden semi-underground complex.

It is said that it is a building complex, but in fact it is more like a dwarf dirt bag, leaving only a low doorway, and even this doorway is covered and hidden with hay and branches, which is inconspicuous, even if you pass by, you will only think that this is a bird that has been planed by some animal, or what kind of bird's nest.

Guo Sen had searched this side carefully, but at the time he thought it was an ordinary terrain and didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he looks at it, the dwarves are really well hidden.

The dwarves soon came to this side with salt and jerky, and each of them carried the salt into a small earthen bag, and after a short while, came out of it again, and buried the hole again.

Well? Isn't this a place to live? Just a warehouse?

Guo Sen was a little surprised, but if he looked around carefully, there was really no trace of their activities here.

Could it be that the place of residence is really not here?

Guo Sen's gaze followed closely to the dwarves holding jerky, and found that they had not long been out of the woods from the other direction, heading straight for a Gobi desert full of boulders.

Could it be that this is where the dwarven tribes are?

Guo Sen's gaze was raised and he went straight in that direction, and as a result, he really saw a rather hidden cave between the boulders of the Gobi Desert.

Hehe, dwarves really like caves, why are they like this for one or two.

The cavern's tunnel wasn't long, and further inside, it shone with a bright red light that danced, and needless to say, it was flames.
