Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 72

Wu Xiaoyin’s confusion was quickly answered by Lei Lu, who couldn’t bear to see his Xiao Xiao frown for even a second. Lei Lu explained, “This is because in the competition between the Giant Lion Tribe and the Giant Leopard Tribe, the males of the Giant Lion Tribe usually seek out strong prey to challenge. However, in terms of strength, the males of the Giant Leopard Tribe are inferior. Often, one male from the Giant Lion Tribe can handle a giant bull beast by himself, while the Giant Leopard Tribe might require two or even three males working together to achieve the same. So…”

Datta continued Lei Lu’s explanation, “So, the Giant Leopard Tribe aims to win the competition against the males of our tribe through numbers. The prey they hunt is usually not very large, but when gathered in bulk, the quantity becomes big.”

Wu Xiaoyin listened to Lei Lu and Datta’s explanations and asked, “Since the males of the Giant Leopard Tribe lack individual strength, and from what I observed about the animal skins, capturing prey doesn’t seem very difficult, why is the Giant Leopard Tribe ranked third on the entire Beastman Continent? Is it because like the Giant Wolf Tribe, they excel at teamwork?”

Datta, being the most knowledgeable about the Giant Leopard Tribe, replied, “Not really, Xiao Xiao. While the individual strength of the males in the Giant Leopard Tribe is lacking, their speed compensates for it. They possess an innate ability for ambush, which is why the Giant Leopard Tribe ranks third.”

Wu Xiaoyin nodded, showing that he understood. He then asked Lei Lu, “Don’t we need to trade for some animal skins? We haven’t traded any of the dried fruits and pickled fruits we brought.”

Lei Lu didn’t want Xiao Xiao wearing animal skins captured by other beastmen, but he couldn’t openly say his true thoughts to Xiao Xiao, right? So he said, “We have more than enough animal skins at home, didn’t Xiao Xiao ask about this before?”

Wu Xiaoyin nodded in agreement, but he thought it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. Considering the large quantities involved, it was possible to exchange fewer items for more animal skins. He said, “We don’t have to turn all the animals skins into clothes or bedding, we can also make other warm items like hats, gloves, and hand warmers. The size of the animal skins from the Giant Leopard Tribe would be more suitable for that.”

When Lei Lu heard Xiao Xiao mention warm items and realized that the Giant Leopard Tribe’s animal skins would be more appropriate, he understood that Xiao Xiao didn’t actually need their animal skins, he was merely thinking of other possible uses. So he quickly shifted Xiao Xiao’s attention and changed the topic.

Recalling what Xiao Xiao had said about the dried fruits and pickled fruits, he brought it up, “Xiao Xiao, didn’t you mention that we haven’t traded the dried fruits and pickled fruits we brought? We’ve seen all the tribes, let’s go back and see if anyone wants to trade for our dried fruits and pickled fruits.”

Datta had been listening attentively to the conversation between Wu Xiaoyin and Lei Lu. Upon hearing about the fruits, he asked, “Xiao Xiao, what are dried fruits and pickled fruits?”

At this moment, Xiao Kai seized the opportunity to make good use of his chatterbox function and excitedly explained what dried fruits and pickled fruits were. However, the slightly petty Xiao Kai didn’t mention how to make them. He only mentioned that they could preserve fruits for a long time. This thrilled Datta. He initially thought that the Giant Tiger Tribe’s method of preserving meat was impressive, only to discover that they could also preserve fruits.

So, Datta quickly pulled Xiao Kai along as they headed towards the Giant Tiger Tribe’s camp.
