This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 82 - 76 Black Teeth Tribe
Chapter 82: Chapter 76 Black Teeth Tribe
"Screech!"
In the sky, twelve black giant birds flew in, each with a wingspan reaching more than ten meters, which was truly astonishing.
These giant birds were called Black-toothed Birds, a terrifying carnivorous species.
On the back of the Black-toothed Bird flying in front, there sat a middle-aged man. He wore a strange white silk garment, very thin, akin to satin.
On his face were painted black totem patterns, and if observed closely, one would notice these patterns resembled the giant bird he was riding, albeit more abstract.
Beside the totem patterns, there were three horizontal stripes of different colors, indicating he was a powerful Three-Color Warrior.
This middle-aged man was named Wu Yu, from the Black Teeth Tribe.
On the backs of the other eleven Black-toothed Birds, there sat warriors, wearing softer Tree Bark Clothing instead of those silk garments.
This Tree Bark Clothing was woven from strips of soft tree bark and looked somewhat coarse, yet it already had the characteristics of woven garments.
Compared to other tribes still wearing Beast Hide Clothing or grass skirts, wearing this breathable and comfy Tree Bark Clothing in the hot weather was indeed quite enviable.
"Wow, what a giant Ancient Vine!"
When the Black-toothed Birds flew near the Vine Tribe, Wu Yu saw the massive Stone Mountain Ancient Vine because it was extremely conspicuous.
"Seems like there’s a small tribe too."
"Let’s go down and take a look."
With Wu Yu’s command, the Black-toothed Bird instantly let out a sharp cry, quickly descending toward the Vine Tribe, followed by the other eleven Black-toothed Birds.
"Screech!"
However, as these twelve Black-toothed Birds flew over the Vine Tribe, preparing to land, a louder bird call resonated.
The Black-toothed Birds, upon hearing the sound, instinctively slowed their pace, apprehensively glancing towards the source of the call.
"Whoosh..."
A giant black eagle flew in from afar, with its wingspan exceeding twenty meters, twice the size of the largest Black-toothed Bird.
It carried a giant python, flying quickly from afar, glanced coldly at the Black-toothed Birds, then landed beside the bamboo house on the outskirts of the Vine Tribe.
"This... this is a giant eagle. How could such a small tribe have a giant eagle?"
Wu Yu was greatly startled. He originally intended for the Black-toothed Birds to land directly in front of the Vine Tribe’s bamboo house, but upon seeing the giant eagle, he was apprehensive and had them land in the open field outside the Vine Tribe.
"Thud!"
The twelve Black-toothed Birds landed, their massive size leaving deep claw marks on the ground, scaring the wandering people working in the fields to scurry back to the bamboo houses.
Fortunately, the field had just been turned over and not yet sown; otherwise, many crops could have been damaged by the Giant Black Birds’ trampling.
Beside the bamboo grove, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao stood with others, feeling a bit tense as they watched the Black-toothed Birds land, unsure of the visitors’ intentions.
"Someone’s coming down from the big bird; let’s go take a look."
Jiang Xuan glanced at the Stone Mountain Ancient Vine behind him, bravely headed towards the newcomers, with Chi Shao walking shoulder-to-shoulder and Gou Teng and others tensely following behind.
In the southern bamboo house, the Old Witch heard the commotion, walked to the door to take a glance, then sat on a wooden stool by the door, watching the excitement like any ordinary old person.
The giant black eagle stood beside the bamboo house, nonchalantly tearing flesh from the giant python and offering two pieces to the Old Witch.
The wandering people all hid inside their bamboo houses but couldn’t help peeking out due to curiosity.
Only Jing Jie picked up his weapon, quickly ran towards Jiang Xuan, and followed behind the crowd of warriors.
On the open ground before the Vine Tribe, Jiang Xuan and others encountered people from the Black Teeth Tribe.
Wu Yu first surveyed this small tribe and found that its population was rather scant.
Were it not for the Ancient Vine’s prominence, he wouldn’t have bothered stopping at such a small tribe.
However, the giant eagle was truly powerful, and the old man in front of the bamboo house made him instinctively cautious.
Because of that, Wu Yu set aside thoughts of contempt.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao had already come before Wu Yu, and he noticed the three horizontal stripes on Wu Yu’s face, recognizing him as a Three-Color Warrior.
Behind him were eleven warriors, who were surprisingly Two-Color Warriors—a formidable force.
Even so, Jiang Xuan calmly asked, "This is the Vine Tribe. Which tribe are you from?"
Wu Yu, with a smile on his face, said, "We are from the Black Teeth Tribe, and I am Wu Yu. Don’t worry, we bear no malice; we landed here because we brought a lot of goods with us."
"If you happen to fancy any of these goods, and your tribe has items we desire, we can engage in trade."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan’s mind echoed with the words "barter trade."
In this primordial world, currency had yet to appear; inter-tribal transactions were conducted through barter.
However, due to the extreme difficulty in transportation, most tribes could only trade with nearby tribes. Jiang Xuan had never seen a tribe like the Black Teeth Tribe carrying goods for trade.
He was also curious about what goods they brought. If they had items needed by the Vine Tribe, a trade wouldn’t be a bad idea.
With this in mind, Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Ah, so it’s like that, welcome to the Vine Tribe."
Wu Yu sensed Jiang Xuan’s youth and not-so-strong strength, so he asked, "Could you take me to your tribe’s leader?"
Jiang Xuan responded, "I am the leader of the Vine Tribe, Xuan."
He pointed at Chi Shao beside him, "This is our tribe’s Witch."
Are you kidding?
Wu Yu was incredulous because he had never seen such a young tribe leader, much less a Witch at such a youthful age.
But upon seeing the people behind Jiang Xuan all behaving casually, it seemed unlikely they were lying.
In the end, Wu Yu could only helplessly sigh internally: This tribe is too weak; even their leader is merely a Two-Color Warrior. What good things could they have?
At this time, Jiang Xuan also noticed the silk garment on Wu Yu, a discovery that greatly shocked him.
Could the Black Teeth Tribe have mastered the skill of weaving fabrics? Judging by the fineness of the silk garment, the weaving technology must have reached an unimaginable level!
Seeing Jiang Xuan staring at his clothes, Wu Yu straightened his posture and said confidently, "This is Spider Silk Clothing, traded from the distant Spider Tribe, extremely precious."
"If Chief Xuan likes it, you’ll need to offer something equally valuable to make a trade."
So it’s Spider Silk Clothing!
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized; he had mistaken this primordial world for having advanced weaving technology—it was just a misunderstanding.
In this world, there were some large spiders that, when laying eggs, would use resilient and fine spider silk to weave cloth-like webs to protect the eggs.
Chi Shao had once procured such webs and used them to bandage Jiang Xuan’s wounds.
These webs were rare, and gathering enough to make a complete garment was even harder.
Thus, Wu Yu was not exaggerating when he said the Spider Silk Clothing was extremely precious.
Of course, Wu Yu did not believe the Vine Tribe possessed treasures of equal value to Spider Silk Clothing.
He then pointed at the Tree Bark Clothing worn by the Black Teeth Tribe warriors, "Chief Xuan, this is Tree Bark Clothing, also traded from a distant tribe; it’s very comfortable to wear in hot weather."
"We brought quite a few of this Tree Bark Clothing, and if Chief Xuan likes it, you can trade us goods we’re interested in."
Wu Yu pointed at the twelve massive Black-toothed Birds, "Besides Spider Silk Clothing and Tree Bark Clothing, we also brought various goods. As long as your Vine Tribe has items we want, all these goods can be traded."
When Wu Yu said these things, his pride involuntarily revealed itself, for few tribes besides the Black Teeth Tribe possessed such a diverse array of goods.
Yet Jiang Xuan remained calm, as he had seen more types of goods in his previous life, not easily shaken by the Black Teeth Tribe’s offerings.
