Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 59

After hearing Lei Lu’s explanation, Wu Xiaoyin stopped worrying about the secret of the pickled animal meat being forced out to other tribes. Instead, he became more interested as he watched Feng, Kos, and the others getting busy.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Xiao Kai noticed Wu Xiaoyin. Disregarding the group of females surrounding him, he pushed through and bounced over to his side, exclaiming, “Xiao Xiao, look how popular our animal meat is! It meets the storage requirements for the cold season, and it helps females and cubs replenish the necessary salt in their bodies. Plus, Bin and I just got back, but we already have a ton of animal skins, including some difficult-to-tan giant deer and giant gopher skins!”

Wu Xiaoyin followed Xiao Kai’s pointing finger and took a look. Sure enough, there was a thick stack of animal skins behind Feng and Bin. The various colors of the skins were bright in front of his eyes. It made him think that the Giant Tiger Tribe would definitely have a bountiful harvest during this exchange day!

However, the happiness in his heart didn’t last long as a disruptive voice appeared. Wu Xiaoyin saw a heated argument between a beastman from the Giant Snake Tribe and Kos. Both of them seemed quite agitated. Without a second thought, Xiao Kai rolled up his sleeves and directly rushed into the “battlefield,” not even fully understanding why they were arguing.

The reason Wu Xiaoyin immediately recognized the beastman from the Giant Snake Tribe was that their appearance was quite flamboyant, and even the males were no exception. This isn’t typically an attractive trait for females in the beastman continent and can even be a hindrance in courting. Otherwise, the female Qi from the Giant Snake Tribe wouldn’t have married the warrior Mu from the Giant Tiger Tribe.

Seeing the interest in Xiao Xiao’s eyes, Lei Lu’s blue eyes deepened. However, remembering that males from the Giant Snake Tribe were generally not favored by females, he felt a bit reassured. After all, from a male’s perspective, the males of the Giant Snake Tribe didn’t stand out in terms of ability. Their overly flamboyant colors made it hard to hide while hunting, and their human forms resembled females so closely that it made Lei Lu feel that they lacked the imposing presence of male beastmen. So he carried Xiao Xiao closer to the center of the commotion, allowing him to see without stretching his neck.

Once Lei Lu and Wu Xiaoyin entered the center of the crowd, the focus of the “battlefield” shifted to Xiao Kai and the leader of the Giant Snake Tribe. Xiao Kai’s voice was clear and strong as he said to all present beastmen, “The exchange of our tribe’s meat is entirely for all beastmen on the continent to better survive this cold season. We didn’t trade one barrel of animal meat for a lot of animal skins and herbs. For the animal skins alone, we only exchanged one barrel of animal meat for five giant bull skins. This barrel of animal meat can sustain a family for three days during the cold season. What more do you want from us?”

After swallowing hard and clearing his throat, Xiao Kai continued to put out his fighting power, “You from the Giant Snake Tribe are just being greedy! It’s really fitting for your beast form. You’re asking for ten giant cow skins for one barrel of coarse salt. We’ve already given you a good deal, okay?”

Ken, the young leader of the Giant Snake Tribe and Qi’s nephew, was so enraged that the beast patterns on his face flickered. But looking at the female who only came up to his chest, he couldn’t openly start a fight. As a member of the Giant Snake Tribe known for their cunning and treachery, Ken’s brain was clearly sharper than his tongue. The purpose of causing trouble in the Giant Tiger Tribe’s camp was merely to learn the value of the animal meat and to exchange it for a lower price. He even wanted to acquire the method of making this preserved animal meat that could last an entire cold season through trade. However, facing the mighty Xiao Kai, he seemed a bit anxious!
