I thrived in the primitive tribe

The next morning, the tribe's square was filled with people who brought over their accumulated goods, fearing that if they arrived late, the teams going out to exchange items would have already left.

When Lu Yao and her companion arrived, they saw a large crowd of people seeking the leader's help in exchanging items.

"so many people?"

"Each time the orc market opens, although we can't go and see it ourselves, it doesn't diminish the anticipation of our people for the items we can exchange."

Furthermore, given the considerable time intervals between their gatherings, the tribespeople had accumulated some items that could be exchanged.

"It seems everyone really likes the items from other tribes~ But are we really going to be able to carry all of these?"

Looking at the items displayed in the square, the high shaman was uncertain. "It should be okay, right?"

The leader, who was surrounded, saw the two people standing on the outside and his eyes lit up as if he had seen saviors.

"Lu Yao, you're here. Come on over. Okay, everyone, quiet down. Lu Yao will be leading the team to the Orc Market. Lu Yao will decide what you want to exchange and how many items you want to exchange."

As soon as the chief finished speaking, everyone in the tribe turned their heads back. Facing so many eyes staring at her, Lu Yao was not intimidated at all.

The two walked quickly to the center of the square.

"Please don't rush, everyone. Let's go one by one. As you can see, the items neatly arranged in the square are the goods that our tribe needs to exchange at the market. There are quite a few of them. Since our transportation capacity is limited, you will need to reduce the amount of items you want to exchange. We hope you will cooperate."

As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, the crowd around her began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"So this time you're only bringing tribal items? No personal belongings?"

"Didn't the divine messenger just say that we should reduce the number of items, not take them back?"

"So that means you're only bringing a portion?"

"Is it a group of people being brought along, or is it each person bringing a group?"

……

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Now, each of you, please choose one item from your belongings and hand it over. We will record it here. If you have any items you would like to exchange, please say so as well."

"I didn't specify what I wanted to exchange, what should I do?"

"Let's see what we can exchange for what you've given us. If you can accept it, bring it over. If not, we'll wait until the next market opens to make the exchange."

Do you have anything you'd like to trade?

"No,"

"So, do we still need to make an exchange?"

……

Seeing the crowd become noisy again, Lu Yao waited for a while.

"Alright, those who need to exchange, please stand on the right. Those who don't need to exchange, please disperse and go about your business!"

The leader standing to the side suddenly spoke up after Lu Yao finished speaking.

"This time, I went to the trade market to exchange more things that are useful to the tribe, so I brought a lot of public goods."

The tribe can only send a limited number of people, so it's best not to trade unless you absolutely need the items.

If conditions permit, we'll send a larger group to the next trade market, and then we can exchange goods again.

After understanding the leader's meaning, some people left the already mostly empty square. The remaining people handed over their goods to the tribesmen of the trade team and explained what they wanted to exchange before leaving as well.

Lu Yao looked at the neatly arranged items in the square.

According to the discussion last night, a total of 5 people will be going to the trade market with me this time. If they transform into their beast forms, carrying these things on their backs should not be a problem.

Seeing that everything needed to be brought had been prepared, the orcs standing nearby transformed into their beast forms, and the chief shaman carried everything on his back. Then, Loya carried Lu Yao away from the tribe and ran towards the orc market.

They departed much earlier than scheduled.

"Lu Yao, sit tight and hold on, we're about to speed up."

"Okay." Lu Yao pressed herself tightly against Luo Ya's back. Luo Ya felt Lu Yao's movement, and his back muscles began to tense up.

"They're gone," Loya's voice rang out.

Lu Yao watched the trees in front of her recede rapidly.

Wow, Tyrannosaurus Rex runs so fast! It feels like it's flying.

Lu Yao pressed her face against the Tyrannosaurus Rex's back, observing the changes in the surrounding scenery.

As dusk approached, one of the tribesmen following behind asked, "Loya, shall we travel tonight?"

"It's too dangerous to travel at night. Let's find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

The group then began searching for a suitable place to rest.

As Luo Ya gradually descended, Lu Yao slowly straightened up, feeling the warm evening breeze on her body, and squinted her eyes comfortably.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a large, lush tree with a small clearing next to it. She reached out and patted Loya beneath her.

"What do you think of that big tree on the right? I think we can rest there tonight."

The group looked in the direction Lu Yao pointed out, and said, "We also think that area is nice."

So the group headed in that direction. When they arrived at their destination, Luo Ya slowly crouched down to make it easier for Lu Yao to climb down. Then, the group helped each other unload the items from their backs and placed them next to the big tree before transforming back into human form.

Although she had witnessed the bizarre sight of the beastmen transforming into humans many times, each time she saw that awe-inspiring transformation, Lu Yao would still feel an indescribable sense of wonder and shock.

Loya took one of his tribesmen to explore the area, to check if it was safe, and to catch some prey for dinner.

Lu Yao and the remaining three lit a fire, cooked the salted meat they had brought in a clay pot, and then took out the flatbread, intending to eat it cold without heating it up.

After everything was done, the group sat down and waited for Loya and the other person.

As Lu Yao stirred the meat chunks cooking in the earthenware pot with a wooden stick, the rich aroma of the meat, along with the rising steam, filled the surroundings. She would occasionally look up, observing the mysterious and unpredictable environment around her with a wary and keen gaze.

As time slowly passed, the surrounding forest gradually became dark and mysterious. The tall trees stood like silent giants, their branches and leaves dense and blocking out the sun. Only occasionally could a few dappled rays of sunlight penetrate the dense canopy and cast specks of light.

Suddenly, a rapid and chaotic commotion came from the distance ahead, as if something was trying to get through the bushes and approach them step by step.

Each crackling sound of branches being violently struck felt like a blow to their taut nerves, intensifying the tension in the air.

Their gazes were drawn by invisible chains, fixed on the swaying bushes ahead, where some unknown and dangerous entity seemed to be hiding, waiting for the right moment to reveal its hideous face.

Their bodies tensed involuntarily, their muscles brimming with power ready to explode, like a pack of cheetahs poised to pounce, silently lurking in the grass, ready to strike their prey with overwhelming force and deliver a fatal blow.

As the commotion grew louder, the group's nerves were stretched to the limit. Their hearts raced, their breathing became rapid and heavy, but their eyes shone with unwavering determination.
