Chapter 119: Trade Routes and Brimstone

Not to mention that in the Vulcan tribe, Chen Xu was worried about the tribal guardian beasts, and after training the warriors in the tribe at all times, he led them into the jungle and captured a few jungle overlords.

Not to mention that among the various tribes on the edge of the boundless land, several leaders quickly got the news of the battle, but the reaction to the fire god and the fire lion was quite subtle.

At the beginning, after listening to what the envoys said, the attitude of these tribal leaders was still ambiguous, except for some incomprehension of the fire lion tribe's brain-dead first move, they also had no intention of coming forward, as if they wanted to take this opportunity to see how strong the Vulcan tribe was, so as to determine the next attitude towards the Vulcan tribe.

Although the Vulcan tribe has always been very strong, all kinds of utensils and tools are several streets ahead of them, and they have eliminated the silver shengfan with the momentum of breaking bamboo, but several tribal leaders are still a little unimpressed.

In their hearts, if it weren't for the wolves, the silver shengfan would not have been able to enter their eyes at all, and the Vulcan tribe could also do these things.

Therefore, at this time, they all looked at the conflict with a different mood, and it seemed to them that the conflict had come at the right time.

It's just that the faces of several tribal leaders changed wildly, and they just learned the news of the conflict in the morning, and they got information in the afternoon that the Fire Lion Tribe was completely destroyed by the Vulcan Tribe, not only lost three branches, but also plundered more than half of the population, and even the others were forced into the core tribe and didn't dare to come out.

Moreover, according to reliable information, the leader of the Fire God Tribe, the Fire God Tribe, was able to defeat the powerful jungle overlord Fire Lion alone, if it weren't for the Fire Lion Tribe's final retreat into the core clan land and the protection of the Fire Lion Pack, I am afraid that this less than a morning would be enough to be completely destroyed.

Originally, several leaders didn't believe this rumor, after all, although the Fire Lion Tribe was not the strongest among the several tribes, it was not the weakest, even if it faced several times their manpower, even if they couldn't beat it, they could at least hold out for a day or two.

Although the combat power embodied by the Vulcan tribe is very powerful, it can't be so strong, right?

Although they were mentally prepared, they didn't think that the Vulcan tribe would be able to overthrow the fire lion tribe all at once, at least the two had to be on par.

From the bottom of their hearts, it was really difficult for them to accept that the Vulcan tribe would be so strong, which was really beyond the scope of their thinking, and made them refuse to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

But then, the messenger sent by the Fire Lion Tribe ruthlessly tore apart the last trace of happiness in their hearts and put the cruel truth in front of them.

Although there were many inaccuracies in the language of the Fire Lion Emissary, and they continued to whitewash this defeat, who were the various leaders?

With the strength of the Fire Lion Tribe, it is not the enemy of the Fire God Tribe, although in the end the Fire God Tribe retreated because of the appearance of the Fire Lion Tribe, but this does not mean that the Fire God Tribe is afraid of the Fire Lion Tribe, after all, Chen Xu, the Fire God alone, can fight the Fire Lion hand-to-hand without falling behind.

What's more, although the fire lion is the guardian beast of the tribe and has the responsibility of protecting the tribe, if the opponent is too strong, knowing that it is invincible or predicting that the clan will be hit hard if it fights hard, it will also weigh the strength, and if necessary, it will leave the tribe without hesitation.

The worst thing is that there are guardian beasts in these tribes, so how can there be no guardian beasts in the Vulcan tribe that is stronger than them?

As the saying goes, the unknown is terrifying, and now they don't have any understanding of the guardian beast of the Vulcan tribe, invisibly, but like a big mountain, pressing on their hearts, so that they must carefully consider one or two when they have any action, and think about the consequences.

The battle between the Fire God and the Fire Lion quickly spread to the fringes, and Chen Xu's prestige also grew rapidly with this battle.

Under the deterrence of this battle, some ape-men who originally had greed in their hearts couldn't help but wake up, and they didn't dare to have any bad thoughts about the Vulcan tribe for the time being.

Originally, the leader of the Fire Lion was counting on the other five tribal leaders to help mediate, resolve the misunderstanding between the Fire God Tribe and the Fire Lion Tribe, and resume the severed transaction between the two, but after seeing that the Fire God was so strong, thinking of what Chen Xu said to those envoys before the previous battle, the leaders prevaricated one by one.

In the end, the leader of the Fire Lion could only helplessly retreat in the core clan land, allowing the warriors of the Vulcan tribe to show off their might in their territory, encroaching on their territory, and not daring to move.

To the relief of the leaders, Chen Xu really obeyed what he had said to the envoys before, except for the non-negotiable matter of fighting against the Fire Lion Tribe, in other aspects, such as trade, trade and other fields, he did not make any restrictions on other tribes, everything was the same as before the battle.

With the experience of the Fire Lion Tribe, the tribes no longer dared to play any small tricks, not only did not reduce the number of transactions with the Fire God Tribe, but because they were stimulated by the strong influence of the Fire God Tribe, they began to trade desperately.

For a while, the items of the Vulcan tribe appeared in the other five tribes at a rapid speed, and the poor fire lion tribe could only exchange these items from the other tribes at a high price.

At the same time, when the number of apes in the Vulcan tribe was rapidly expanding, the caravan with the members of the hunting team as the core began to set off.

According to the route arranged by Chen Xu before, starting from the Fire God Tribe, first to the Cangxiong Tribe, then to the Red Dragon Tribe, and then, turning westward, passing through several tribes in turn, and finally bypassing the Fire Lion Tribe and returning to the Fire God Tribe.

This was the first time that the caravan of the Vulcan tribe had traveled, and there were a total of twenty-five apemen inside, carrying some elite leather armor, bronze tools, and a lot of salt and daily necessities.

Chen Xu attached great importance to this first caravan operation, and had previously sent envoys to various tribes to declare that if anyone attacked this caravan, it would be a declaration of war against the Vulcan tribe, and the two would never die.

The miserable fate of the Fire Lion Tribe is still on the side, although the things brought by the Vulcan Tribe this time are very eye-catching, but each tribe weighs the gap between themselves and the Vulcan Tribe and still dare not have any wrong thoughts.

And this transaction involves the bronzes and salt that the Vulcan tribe has been keeping secret, which are very important to them and are the cornerstone of their tribe's strength.

The various tribes that do not want this trade to become a surname trade are strictly forbidden for anyone to attack this caravan, and those who violate it will definitely be jointly attacked by the six major tribes.

This time, even the Fire Lion Tribe, which was very bad with the Vulcan Tribe, was involved.

After a little buffer, the suppression of the Fire Lion Tribe by the Vulcan Tribe gradually relaxed, and more importantly, the encirclement and suppression of the surrounding beasts, as well as the training of warriors, made the leader of the Fire Lion Tribe greatly relieved, and also seized any opportunity to mend the relationship with the Vulcan Tribe.

In the years of being suppressed by the god of fire, the fire lion tribe can be described as extremely miserable, the population of the tribe died and fled, and now there are only a thousand left, and it has directly become the weakest existence among several tribes, if it were not for the fact that several major tribes check and balance each other, it is estimated that it would have been annexed long ago.

But even so, their lives are in dire straits now, and naturally they dare not offend the Vulcan tribe.

Under the watchful eye, the first caravan operation of the Vulcan tribe was a great success, and the apes in the caravan were warmly welcomed in each tribe, and the leaders of each tribe personally received them, and took out the most precious things in the tribe, wanting to trade with them.

What the tribal leaders didn't know was that when they weren't looking, the details of their tribes had fallen into the eyes of a few apes in the merchant group.

They quickly memorized it and found an opportunity to draw it with charcoal onto the dried sheepskin.

These apes are the elite of the Vulcan Emissary, and have very good memory and description skills.

Before the apes knew it, their most important things had been acquired by the Vulcan tribe, and the other so-called treasures that were extremely valuable in their eyes had become inconsequential.

According to Chen Xu's instructions, the apes in the caravan strictly carried out the identification of items, selected the useful items that Chen Xu told them, and exchanged them with an appropriate amount of good things.

In the end, after walking in a circle, the caravan of the Vulcan tribe just traded all the goods it carried, obtained the detailed divisions and conditions of each tribe, and brought back a bunch of strange things.

There are strange plant seeds, hard animal bones, unknown metal ores, and some strange objects made in heaven.

However, after bringing these things to Chen Xu, there was only one thing that really caught his eye, and it was a yellow lump, which would emit a pungent smell when smelled carefully.

When you grind it with your hands, it will crumble into a pale yellow powder, and a volatile smell will quickly waft up, making people can't help but have a headache in their heads.

"It's brimstone!"

With just a glance, Chen Xu recognized the yellow stone-like solid in his hand, if he saw it right, this was the sulfur of the later life, exactly the same as the sulfur he had seen used to smoke things when he was a child in his previous life.

Waving his hand to let the bird-feather ape-man on the side take a torch, Chen Xu put the sulfur on it, and sure enough, it didn't take much effort, and the faint blue flame began to burn from the bottom, and a dizzying smoke quickly floated up, and this smoke showed a rich yellow color, like a stinky fart released by a skunk.

"Grandma's, it's really sulfur dioxide!?"

There was a hint of ecstasy in his eyes, seeing this yellow smoke, Chen Xu sniffed it slightly, couldn't help coughing, and completely determined the true identity of the object in his hand, this is sulfur, a piece of sulfur with high purity.

He hurriedly pressed the burning sulfur into the soil, grinded it vigorously, extinguished the flame on it, and waved his hand at will to disperse the yellow smoke around him, and then he looked at several ape messengers around him who were coughing repeatedly, and asked with bright eyes, "Tell me, where did this thing come from?"
