I thrived in the primitive tribe

After spending the night in that tribe, the group set off towards the tribe early the next morning on their newly acquired feathered dragons.

Because they were worried that it would be Lu Yao's first time riding, and because there were 6 of them but only 5 mounts, Lu Yao and Luo Ya shared one mount.

Before leaving, they asked how many people could sit on the tailed dragon at once. After learning that it could carry a considerable amount of weight, they happily sat down and left.

On the way, Lu Yao asked Luo Ya, "When they said the ground can bear a lot of weight, does that mean we can sit down as long as we can?"

Looking at the person sitting on the tailed dragon, gesturing wildly, "Yes."

"Wow, it's so powerful! That's great! Should we try to tame some mounts in the future?"

This way we won't have to trade with other tribes. But I don't really feel good about it; what if they stop trading with us someday? We'll have no mounts left.

"Taming mounts is very energy-consuming. Their tribe uses a method passed down from their ancestors, which is why you think it's simple."

If we were to figure it out from scratch, it would take a very long time, and there's no guarantee that we'd even succeed.

It's not as simple as raising a Humming Beast like we do, where you just feed it; you also need to train it to carry people, and so on.

"So that's how it is. No wonder it takes so much salt to exchange for one. I didn't expect taming a mount to be so troublesome."

"Yeah."

"Then let's go to their tribe to exchange."

Luo Ya smiled upon hearing Lu Yao's conclusion.

"Isn't that our tribe ahead?" Lu Yao pointed excitedly ahead, looking at the defenses that were almost finished. She continued to exclaim, "Wow, they're amazing! They've almost finished building it in such a short time since we left!"

The tribesmen saw several dinosaurs running towards them from afar and thought they were invaders. Just as they were about to blow their horns, they were stopped by the people next to them.

"Do you see someone on the back of that dinosaur?"

"It seems so. Could it be that a tribe is planning to attack us?"

"No, why do they look like Lu Yao and her group to me?"

"It seems so."

"Look, they're waving at us. That means Lu Yao and the others are back. Go and inform the chief and the great shaman."

The group split up and ran toward the cave where the chief and the great shaman were, shouting as they ran.

"God has brought them back, God has brought them back..."

Those who heard it put down what they were doing and came out to look at the person shouting loudly.

"Really? How do you know God sent them back?"

"It's true, we saw them from the watchtower, and they even waved to us."

This watchtower was something that Lu Yao and the others had decided to add when they were discussing the construction of the defensive works.

The initial idea was that this way the patrol team wouldn't need to patrol outside the tribe. They could simply stand on the watchtowers at various angles to observe whether there were any beast packs coming to attack the tribe from different directions. Therefore, three locations were planned for building watchtowers.

However, they later discovered that three could not cover their entire tribe, so they added two more to fully protect the tribe.

When the watchtower was first built, many people went up to visit it out of curiosity. They were amazed to find that the view was indeed better than before and thought the building was really amazing.

"We saw it from the watchtower, so it must be true. Let's go take a look."

They called to each other and walked toward the entrance of the tribe.

When the chief and the high shaman learned that they had returned riding dinosaurs, they were greatly shocked and didn't know what was going on. They put down what they were carrying and immediately ran towards the entrance of the tribe.

When Loya and his group arrived at the entrance to the tribe, it was already packed with people. They were quite surprised to see the group sitting on the tailed dragon.

"Where did you get these dinosaur mounts?" someone in the crowd asked.

Loya and the others patted the dinosaur to signal it to put them down, and then they saw the Caudine Dragon slowly lie down and lower its body, and the group jumped down nimbly.

"Is it really that obedient?" someone asked in surprise, looking at the dinosaurs in front of them.

"Alright, everyone, let's disperse for now. These are all the common property of the tribe that Lu Yao and the others exchanged. Don't worry, everyone will have the opportunity to ride them in the future. Let's go back to the tribe first and let them rest. Then we'll meet in the square and talk about the results of this orc trade."

Hearing this, Loya knew what the leaders wanted to ask him, so he chimed in, "Yes, everyone, don't rush. Let's go have a drink of water first, and then we'll go back to the square and show everyone our harvest."

"By the way, the tribespeople who asked us to help them trade their personal items, your goods have been exchanged, but you need to wait until all the items in the tribe have been inventoried before you can come and pick them up," Jiuli added.

Then, as if swept up by a gust of joyful wind, everyone, with expectant smiles and light steps, went back to do what they had just been doing.

The leader looked at Loya and the others: "Did your trip to the orc market go smoothly?"

The high shaman gestured for everyone to walk and talk, and then the group led the tailed dragon into the tribe.

"Overall, things went relatively smoothly." Upon hearing Loya's words, the chief and the high priest felt a pang of anxiety. They exchanged a glance, each wondering what trouble they had encountered.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Loya continued, "It's nothing serious, we've taken care of it. Don't worry."

"That's good. But what should we do with these feathered dragons?" the great shaman asked from the side.

"Well, we should still have some space in our animal enclosure. We can just set aside another space to use as their residence."

Lu Yao said.

“Sure, but won’t they run away if we leave them there?” the leader asked.

"No, as long as you tie this vine, they won't run away on their own," Lu Yao replied.

"That's good. By the way, how did you manage to exchange for so many Feathered Dragons?"

Looking into the shaman's eyes, which were full of curiosity and exploration, Lu Yao smiled mysteriously. "Guess~" she said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief and pride.

The leader, standing to the side, tentatively asked, "Was it traded for with salt?" His tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

Lu Yao nodded slightly upon hearing this, but then shook her head and smiled, "You got it right, but only one-third of it."

Seeing the even greater confusion on their faces, Luo Ya gestured to Lu Yao to stop keeping her in suspense and to hurry up and tell him.

"Oh dear, and the seasoning we use for barbecue, including the method of making the seasoning, these three things together cost us all these tailed dragons."

"So that's how it is. But this barbecue seasoning isn't yours, Lu Yao? Then all these tailed dragons should belong to you?" the Great Shaman asked Lu Yao after hearing this.

"We traded these tailed dragons back to be used as mounts for the people of the tribe, not just for me. But I'll be using them later."

"Then isn't this a huge advantage that the tribe has taken from you?" the chieftain lamented.

Hearing this, Loya, who was standing nearby, was speechless. He lowered his voice and said to the chief, "Chief, if we're talking about our tribe taking advantage of Lu Yao, it seems like it's not just this one thing."

The leader turned to look at the person who was determined to leave, his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If you calculate it that way, it seems that all the changes in the Dragon Alliance tribe are due to Lu Yao.

"Sigh~" He sighed deeply.

"It's alright, Chief. Don't forget I'm part of the tribe too. The better the tribe gets, the better I'll live, right?"

Seeing Lu Yao's warm smile, the leader suddenly felt relieved.

"That's right, we're all one family. I believe that with everyone's efforts, our Dragon Alliance tribe will definitely get better."

"Yes."

The group walked to the square. Luo Ya handed the vine rope in his hand to Jiu Li, who was following behind him, and then helped them unload the vine baskets.
