"That being said, how can I make this stone into a weapon?" Shen Nong asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, but the chief said it had to be sold, or it wouldn't be sold. Huang said very straightforwardly.

So Shen Nong used his eloquence again, planning to negotiate with Huang again, but he knew that the other party's attitude was very resolute, just like a stone, Shen Nong knew that the deal could not be negotiated, so he had to give up helplessly.

Although ore is very important to him, Shen Nong will definitely not let himself do a loss-making transaction, and he really can't agree to this deal by exchanging five pieces of ore for the food carried by one person.

Huang had an indifferent expression on his face, reached out and took the ore handed by Shen Nong, and put the ore back in its original position.

"Well, although I don't trade this stone with you, we can trade something else. Shen Nong suddenly said to Huang mysteriously.

"What are you going to trade?" Wong wondered.

"I'll give you twenty herbs, or food for one person, and tell me where this stone was dug up. ”

Hearing Shen Nong's words, Huang's expression immediately became serious, and he said directly and solemnly: "No, the chief won't let us tell others." ”

Shen Nong couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that that Chi He also knows the importance of this mineral vein discovered by his tribe, and he even deliberately kept it so tight." ”

However, he made the biggest mistake, since he wanted to keep it secret and not be known by people from other tribes, he had to keep it secret to the end, so strict that there was no information about the ore vein that could not be leaked out at all, but this Chihe was still too greedy, and at the same time kept the ore vein secret and wanted to use the ore dug to trade for considerable profits, which made me know the secret that there was a vein in the Cangtao tribe. ”

Shen Nong smiled inexplicably, and no longer mentioned to Huang about the transaction, and returned directly to the stall of the Huangqiu tribe.

......

After dark.

How cold the night in the mountains is, Shen Nong and others have experienced it last night, but tonight is a little different, in order to welcome the arrival of the Huangqiu tribe, the Cangtao tribe specially held another bonfire barbecue meeting to welcome guests (when Shen Nong and others got lost in the mountains last night, the Cangtao tribe had already held a meeting in order to welcome several other tribes).

In a relatively spacious open space, the people of the Cangtao tribe piled up a huge firewood pile in the center of the clearing with the branches and trunks they collected from all over the place, and under the gaze of everyone, Chihe took two torches to burn the firewood pile.

Maybe it's because the branches are a little damp, the fire didn't burn very vigorously at first, and there were only a dozen branches burning in a pile of firewood, but at this time, Chihe suddenly took a beast stomach pouch used to hold water from his own people, and then directly poured all the liquid inside on the firewood.

Rumble!

In an instant, the fire expanded dozens of times, and the vigorous flames grew to a height of nearly three meters in the shaking, and suddenly the scorching heat spread around the bonfire, dispelling the coolness on everyone's bodies.

"Comfortable. Shen Nong couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed a very happy thing to be able to get close to such a fierce bonfire on a cool night.

So, the people of the eleven tribes gathered around the campfire, whispering to each other about something not very interesting.

This time, the Ten Ministries Conference, including Shen Nong, sent a total of nine people from the Huangqiu tribe, which is very small compared to the rest of the tribes.

Not to mention anything else, the Honggu tribe came a total of sixteen people this time, the Wusha tribe had twenty-two, and the most terrifying was the White Elephant tribe, which sent thirty people, and almost half of the tribe was dispatched.

When the people of the Cangtao tribe put the seven short-horned yellow deer on the seven large stone slabs next to the bonfire, the men of the other tribes finally couldn't bear it anymore, and walked to the bonfire one by one, singing the songs of their own tribes and dancing the dances of their own tribes.

The atmosphere of the scene was instantly enlivened by them, and those who did not dance in the past sat next to the bonfire and clapped their hands, and everyone's faces unconsciously showed smiles.

Although everyone came from different tribes, at this moment, everyone put aside these ideas for the time being and concentrated on participating in tonight's bonfire.

And with the warm invitation of the men, some women also walked generously to the bonfire and danced with them, so the situation around the bonfire began to become a little chaotic, and the men bravely approached the woman they fancied, and if several men approached a woman at the same time, there would be a wrestling-like match between them, whoever won would get the opportunity to get close to the woman, and the loser could only get out.

In the dancing crowd, Shao Hao once again saw the big-bellied woman who disdained him this morning, so the young and vigorous Shao Hao took the initiative to apply to Shen Nong and walked directly towards the woman.

The rest of the Huangqiu people couldn't bear it anymore and went to find the woman they liked.

"Tsk!"

Just when almost everyone was dancing around the bonfire, Shen Nong, who was still sitting in place, suddenly heard a very slight sound.

He subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a hairy rat the size of a dog cub crawling on the ground not far away.

The number of this group of hairy rats is very large, and the source cannot be seen in the dense, and only a wriggling figure can be seen in the dark, like a river.

This group of hairy rats ran out from the direction of the depths of the mountain, looking at the migratory posture, it should be to escape out of the mountain, Shen Nong couldn't help but think of the group of monkeys that he and the others encountered when they entered the mountain.

If you think about it, it seems that the direction of the monkeys' evacuation is also outside the mountain!

"It's strange how often I've been encountering animal migrations lately. Shen Nong muttered to himself in confusion.

However, the hairy rats are not the only migrating group in the mountains tonight, and then Shen Nong saw the prehistoric beasts such as the dire wolf, the earth sloth, and the cave bear in the vicinity of the mountain running non-stop, and when they passed by the Cangtao tribe, they did not look at this side, but left quickly, looking very hurried.

The strange appearance of the beasts also immediately attracted the attention of the Cangtao tribesmen, they all looked at the beasts running wild in the night with puzzled expressions, and after making sure that these beasts would not rush into the tribe and cause harm to people, these Cangtao tribesmen were too lazy to care, and they were once again immersed in the carnival of this bonfire barbecue meeting.
