Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 69

Wu Xiaoyin silently felt pained at the thought of losing extra animal skins and firmly decided not to let even one more animal skin be taken from him. So he turned to Lin, who had his arms crossed over his chest, “As far as I know, the Giant Fox Tribe is located in the southernmost part of the beastman continent where plants grow most abundantly and large. This suggests that besides the herb-picking area, you must have different locations for herb collection. The proof is when that female mentioned he had rare and valuable herbs from the tribe, which means that the females in your tribe must have gathered herbs in various areas. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense to have herbs that others don’t.”

Upon hearing Wu Xiaoyin’s words, Lin uncrossed his arms and glanced again at the little female in Lei Lu’s arms, who had remained silent the whole time. He had assumed that he was just an ordinary female, but now he realized he could deduce the situation in his tribe just from Lian’s words. After a moment of thought, Lin replied, “Those herbs were collected by Lian from other areas, not gathered collectively by the females of the tribe. That is also possible, it’s the truth.”

Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but laugh at his words and said, “You don’t even blush when you lie, and you can just say it without thinking. Now that’s impressive.”

Although Lin didn’t fully understand what the little female meant, he recognized his laughter as mocking him. He raised his voice slightly and said, “Do you have an opinion about what I said, female?”

Wu Xiaoyin cleared his throat and replied, “You don’t even need me to say it. Just look at the herbs in your tribe and you’ll see that even the same type of herb can display different characteristics depending on the plant. Take the giant root grass behind you, which is the most common herb among all tribes. Its leaves are broad, the stems are hollow, and the root system is well-developed. These are just general characteristics. But from these appearances, we can tell that this herb prefers sunlight and moisture. Yet, some of your giant root grass has especially large leaves and extremely developed roots, indicating that these giant root grasses do not grow in the same area.”

After listening to Wu Xiaoyin, Lin realized that Wu Xiaoyin’s analysis was correct. In fact, the giant root grass indeed wasn’t collected from the same area, as there were several gathering spots in the Giant Fox Tribe, and the environmental differences between them were significant. Therefore, Lin didn’t need to turn back to check. He understood that Wu Xiaoyin was telling the truth.

At this moment, Lin couldn’t help but admire the little female’s observational skills. After all, he had managed to examine the giant root grass so closely in such a short time, even from a distance. With this thought, he found himself staring at him.

Meanwhile, Lei Lu noticed Lin’s gaze fixed on his arms and realized that his Xiao Xiao was being recognized by another beastman. He tightened his hold on him, rested Xiao Xiao’s small head on his shoulder, and attempted to hide him better while blocking Lin’s view.

Lei Lu spoke up, “The trading price for your herbs should still be six giant bull skins, right?”

Lin thought for a moment and said, “For your Giant Tiger Tribe, this year’s trade can be six giant bull skins, but that doesn’t apply to other tribes. What do you think?”

Without hesitation, Lei Lu replied, “That’s impossible. You should know that this matter must have the same price for all tribes. You’re not trying to incite hostility from other tribes against the Giant Tiger Tribe, are you?”

Lin was about to retort, but Lei Lu cut him off by continuing, “Moreover, such a trading situation is unfair to all tribes. This isn’t a real shortage of herbs caused by wild beasts trampling them. If you don’t make the prices same and explain the reasons, then we, the Giant Tiger Tribe, will reveal the true reasons to all tribes.”

Hearing this, Lin became anxious and replied, “Alright, we will inform all tribes that the Giant Fox Tribe’s herbs are not less than in previous years. However, the price of our herbs will still be one extra giant bull skin compared to last year, and this applies to your Giant Tiger Tribe as well. How about that?”
