Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 73

After returning to the Giant Tiger Tribe’s camp, Xiao Kai held up the dried fruit he brought and said, “Look, this is our tribe’s dried fruit. You can soak it in water to drink, and the entire cup will have a sweet and sour fruit flavor!”

Datta was curious to see if it was really as Xiao Kai said. Bin had already prepared the soaked water in a stone bowl and handed it to Datta. Not wanting to be polite, Datta thanked him and took the stone bowl. After taking a sip of the dried fruit-soaked water, he found that the fruit flavor had completely merged into the water. A single piece of giant red dried fruit could soak such a large bowl of water, so one whole giant red fruit could last a long time. Tasting it every now and then would help get through the entire cold season.

After finishing the whole bowl of water, Datta turned to Lei Lu and spoke, “The Giant Lion Tribe wants to trade this dried fruit and the pickled fruit with the Giant Tiger Tribe. What do you want in exchange, herbs or animal skins?”

Lei Lu understood that Datta was speaking on behalf of the entire Giant Lion Tribe when he heard him say this. It was because the Giant Lion Tribe was the only beastman tribe led by a female tribe chief. As the most competitive candidate and the leader of this expedition, Datta naturally had the authority to make this decision.

Upon hearing Datta’s question, Lei Lu responded, “The main items we want to trade are animal meat. You must have traded with our tribe before. This time, our dried fruit and pickled fruit are items brought by each household. Xiao Xiao and I can exchange all the dried fruit and pickled fruit we brought with you, but for the rest, I can only introduce you to my tribe members. You’ll have to handle the trading yourself.”

Xiao Kai and Bin listened to their conversation and also agreed to trade their dried fruit and pickled fruit with the Giant Lion Tribe. As for Kos and Feng, don’t expect males to be interested in such soft fruits, so basically they didn’t bring any.

When Datta heard that Lei Lu would introduce him to the beastmem of the Giant Tiger Tribe, he knew that Lei Lu genuinely wanted to give him a helping hand. After all, Lei Lu had no authority to decide with whom other beastmen would trade their items. Datta asked, “So how exactly do we trade for a jar of dried fruit and pickled fruit?”

Lei Lu was not interested in asking for more animal skins or herbs from Datta. It was because the amount of dried fruit and pickled fruit he brought wasn’t much, and the pickled fruit was made using watermelon green salt, making it relatively more valuable. After thinking for a moment, Lei Lu said, “A small jar of dried fruit can be exchanged for one giant rabbit skin, while a jar of pickled fruit will require one giant deer skin.”

After hearing this, Datta did not haggle further. He happily confirmed the trade and asked Lei Lu to lead him to communicate and trade with the other members of the Giant Tiger Tribe.

It wasn’t until Wu Xiaoyin’s stomach growled that he realized it was already noon and that he hadn’t eaten for several hours. No wonder his stomach was growling.

Hearing Xiao Xiao’s stomach rumbling, Lei Lu immediately felt frustrated. Xiao Xiao must not go hungry! However, seeing Xiao Xiao so lively and happy earlier had made him a bit distracted. He completely forgot about feeding him. Ignoring Datta, he picked up Xiao Xiao and headed toward their tent. Filling Xiao Xiao’s stomach was the priority.

Datta also heard Xiao Xiao’s stomach growling and didn’t mind Lei Lu’s actions. After all, Lei Lu had already introduced him to the beastmen of the Giant Tiger Tribe. Now it was up to him to communicate with them, and Lei Lu couldn’t really help anymore. He didn’t pay him any more mind, though he felt a bit regretful that he couldn’t look closely at that adorable little female again. This feeling of regret appeared in Datta’s eyes.
