Returning Fully Loaded!

Although a lot of supplies were taken away by the ten teams and hundreds of people, this pile of supplies did not seem to have decreased much, and still stood like a small mountain in the center of the Lakota tribe.

The tribe's original tents were simply not enough to hold the mountain of supplies, so Chief Geronimo led his people to cut down trees and spent three whole days finally setting up a dozen large tents to hold the massive amount of supplies, which amounted to hundreds of Cosmic Cube.

The departure of the warriors who had always protected the tribe did not unsettle the tribe members. Not to mention the powerful god and his fierce subordinates, the two Humanoid Beasts that could single-handedly kill dozens of armed men were still protecting them in the tribe. The large number of advanced Musket bestowed by Chen Mo were enough for them to protect the tribe.

The targets of these acquisition teams had already been planned. Apart from the tribes that Chen Mo had recently visited, the remaining tribes were assigned according to their distance. Each team only needed to move in one direction, without having to detour, which made it very efficient.

The next day, one team returned first, bringing back furs that were much larger in volume than the supplies they had taken when they left.

When ten enormous, hairy figures, each over two meters tall, nearly three meters high, and more than one meter wide, appeared on the outskirts of the tribe, the tribesman on guard nearly fired an arrow, and his companions had already begun loading bullets, ready to fire.

Having lived in the forest for so many years, they knew all too well the immense aggression of grizzly bears. Moreover, their tribe had just hunted down a giant grizzly bear recently, injuring several people. How could they not be terrified when a whole group suddenly appeared? Even those two powerful Humanoid Beasts were probably no match for these dozen or so giant grizzly bears, each nearly three meters tall.

However, thinking of Chen Mo, who was stationed in the tribe, and the powerful Musket that each of them carried, they quickly calmed down and were no longer as panicked as they had been at the beginning.

We're back!

Just as they were about to shout warnings and call for their tribesmen to come and wipe out the giant bear herd, the "giant bear" on the other side suddenly spoke.

Upon closer inspection, the tribesmen on guard realized that at the very bottom of the ten enormous, hairy figures was one of the purchasing teams that had just left the day before.

It turned out that it wasn't a grizzly bear at all, but a team of buyers carrying too much fur.

The acquisition team was assigned to several tribes that were not far from the Lakota tribe, and they were quite close to each other, so they quickly completed the transactions and returned.

As before, the trade goods that Chen Mo prepared were far more attractive than those offered by the American Fur Company. Moreover, the people who came to trade were fellow Native American, and the prices were very fair. Almost every tribe brought out all the furs they had accumulated to trade with them, so all the trade goods they brought were quickly traded away, and they received furs several times their original volume in return.

During this time, the large amount of supplies they carried naturally attracted many covetous eyes. However, when they saw the Musket that were obviously newer and more advanced than those of the American Fur Company on the shoulders of the ten men, all the covetous eyes disappeared and turned into deep envy and jealousy. However, given the precedent of the American Fur Company, no one wanted to try the power of the Musket.

In short, this fur trade went exceptionally smoothly.

After resting for a day in the tribe, the purchasing team will pack their bags again and head to other tribes for the next transaction.

After the first acquisition team returned, the second team to return was not the entire acquisition team that had completed the acquisition, but a young boy from the Lakota tribe who had just come of age and was also one of the ten acquisition teams.

"Chief, we've discovered a buying team from the American Fur Company!"

In the Native American tent specially prepared for him, Chen Mo received a message from Chief Geronimo.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Victor and James had already stood up impatiently, looking at Chen Mo with eager eyes and their little faces full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was speechless. Victor was one thing, but he didn't know when James, who was usually timid and gentle, had also become warlike. His eyes would light up whenever he heard that there was a battle to participate in. Was this a wild instinct that was awakened after he awakened his own abilities, or had he been corrupted by Chen Mo?

In any case, this was his main purpose in sending out the acquisition team. Although the two men's strength had improved a lot since they first arrived, there was still a lot of room for improvement. They still needed to engage in a lot of battles and continuously improve in the process.

After observing for a period of time, Chen Mo made a bold guess: the improvement in Victor and James's own strength seemed to be closely related to their self-healing abilities.

To be precise, the more severe the injuries sustained by the two during the battle, the greater their physical fitness will improve after the battle ends and they recover.

It seems that their self-healing ability is not only healing their injuries, but also enhancing their strength.

However, this does make sense.

The same principle applies to ordinary people exercising to improve their strength.

During exercise, muscle fibers are damaged, but after rest and adequate nutrition, these damaged muscle fibers will repair and regenerate, becoming thicker and stronger than before.

The same principle applies to bones. Martial artists often punch sandbags or wooden stakes, causing slight damage to the bones in the affected areas. After repair, the bones become thicker and harder than before.

If you observe the fists of martial artists, you will find that their finger bones and joints are significantly thicker and stronger than those of ordinary people. An ordinary person might break a brick by punching it, but a martial artist can easily shatter it without any damage.

It is essentially a process of destruction, regeneration, and enhancement.

However, due to the limitations of their own regeneration ability, ordinary people must control the "destruction" within a certain range during this process of "destruction, regeneration, and enhancement." If the degree of "destruction" is not controlled properly and exceeds the limits of their own regeneration and repair capabilities, it will cause damage to the body, which is what we often call training injury.

Therefore, for ordinary people, the rate at which their bodies "strengthen" through exercise is very slow.

Moreover, this process of "destruction, regeneration, and enhancement" only manifests in the skin, muscles, and bones. Once internal organs, nerves, and other parts are injured, it is difficult to restore them to their original state. They will not only fail to "enhance" but will actually weaken!

But Victor and James are different; they both possess special abilities, including a powerful self-healing ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.
