The Sharp Teeth Tribe (continued)

People with partners were worried that they wouldn't be drawn together in the lottery, so they simply didn't participate. As a result, the lottery was basically left for young people.

Among the young people who drew lots, Ban Ming successfully drew a lot for going out, while his good friend A Hu did not.

Holding the lot he had drawn, Ban Ming excitedly asked Qing Kuo, "Dad, can I invite A Meng to come along?"

Qing Kuo: "It's your skill that you were able to invite them; the tribe doesn't mind anyway."

A Hu and a few others instigated:

"Go and call them out! It's a great opportunity. If it works out, you'll have so much more time to spend together on the way."

"That's right, that's right, maybe you can get it? Didn't the Mengshui Tribe say they were going to take everyone out together?"

"Go quickly and try to persuade A Meng's father to change his mind."

Ban Ming couldn't resist everyone's urging, so he actually went and shouted, and he succeeded.

After his success, he returned triumphantly to share the good news with his friends.

A Hu and the others who didn't draw a lot thought he would fail, but unexpectedly he succeeded, and they couldn't help but sigh at his good luck.

Regardless of his friends' opinions, Ban Ming spent his days tinkering at home, taking out all the clothes and accessories he had accumulated, and dressing up in a flamboyant manner every day.

Qing Kuo is good-looking. When Ban Ming isn't being silly, he's a handsome young man. When he's dressed up, he's quite stunning.

Jian Mo wasn't participating in the activities of the tribe's young people; he was preparing to go out.

First, they had to deal with the Pack-Pack Beast. Taking care of the food and water for this large group of Pack-Pack Beast was no easy task, not to mention cleaning and sweeping. Since they were going out, they certainly couldn't entrust them all to other people for management.

The two contacted the Ice River Tribe, intending to exchange their Pack-Pack Beast for the Ice River Tribe.

The burly chieftain of the Ice River Tribe Kang Ying, came to inspect the animals himself. After confirming that their pack of Pack-Pack Beast was of good quality, he readily exchanged most of their Pack-Pack Beast.

The Jian Mo now only has six nursing mothers and two newborn females, bringing their total number back to eight, which greatly reduces their burden.

Seeing the Kang Ying loading all the small Pack-Pack Beast onto the wooden carts, they exclaimed in surprise, "When did you guys come up with carts? And four-wheeled ones at that!"

Gan Ying smiled honestly, "Recently, we found it from other tribes and found it to be very useful, so we made a few of them. Do you want one? I'll give you one."

Jian Mo looked at the car, which didn't seem to require much technical skill, and politely declined, "I'd rather not, but this car is quite useful."

Kang Ying: "Yes, if it weren't for the wooden cart, we would have had to walk back."

With his large, rough hands, Kang Ying shoved the Pack-Pack Beast onto the wooden cart with a clanging sound.

The Pack-Pack Beast huddled together, trembling. Perhaps because there were enough of them to support each other, none of them had died of fright so far.

Jian Mo stared at the Pack-Pack Beast: "Do you remember having other methods for raising Pack-Pack Beast?"

Kang Ying: "Yes, we release the Pack-Pack Beast into the valley. They can hunt them there when they want to eat, and they can just go there to milk them when they want to drink milk."

After loading the Pack-Pack Beast onto the cart and covering them with straw mats, Kang Ying turned around and smiled, "Keeping them in the tribe is too much trouble."

Jian Mo glanced silently at the remaining Pack-Pack Beast. These guys were indeed a pain to raise, taking up a lot of their time.

After the Ice River Tribe left, Jian Mo invited Qing Kuo over.

Jian Mo planned to entrust the remaining Pack-Pack Beast to the tribe for care, offering cloth and Pack-Pack Beast milk as payment—the six remaining females were all lactating, and the tribe members could simply milk them.

Having witnessed the growth and expansion of Jian Mo's family 'Pack-Pack Beast breeding business, Qing Kuo roughly knew how to take care of the animals, so Jian Mo didn't need to say much.

After a brief chat about the Pack-Pack Beast, the two discussed the arrangements for their upcoming trip.

Qing Kuo asked, "What are you going to take out to exchange?"

Jian Mo counted on her fingers. "Soap, paper, glass, and lip balm. We've decided to take both Jiujiu and Ying'ao with us; they're quite capable of carrying heavy loads."

Qing Kuo laughed, "Ying'ao is indeed quite good at memorizing."

Jian Mo spoke up for Jiujiu: "Jiujiu is quite good at memorizing."

Qing Kuo: "Speaking of which, you should bring more cosmetics with you when you go out; they're the most popular."

Jian Mo thought for a moment, "Lip balm? We don't have much lip balm left. If it's herbal balm made from Spirit Cat Tail Grass, it probably won't be able to compete with the medicinal oil from the Mengshui Tribe. Their medicinal oil is too good at repelling insects and relieving itching."

Qing Kuo reminded him, "It's lubricant. Every tribe needs it."

Jian Mo immediately realized what he meant and quickly waved her hand. "No, no, no, I'm a legitimate doctor, I don't sell this."

Qing Kuo tsk him.

Jian Mo and the others quickly packed their things.

In addition to the Riverside Tribe, the Mengshui Tribe also brought along the Red Zheng Tribe and the True Scarlet Tribe.

The entire caravan consisted of over fifty people, making it a very large merchant caravan.

They all had different animal forms, but they were all quite capable of carrying heavy loads, and carrying large and small bags on their backs did not hinder their journey.

Compared to the others, Jian Mo and his group carried the least weight, as Jiujiu and Ying'ao helped share some of the load.

Seeing Jiujiu and Ying'ao, everyone was envious and couldn't help but ask how to raise Flying-Winged Beast.

Flying-Winged Beast are quite difficult to tame. In the past, some people have ridden Flying-Winged Beast to interact with them, but they are far less agile than Jian Mo's Jiujiu and Ying'ao. They also eat a lot and are difficult to raise, so people are not very interested.

Jian Mo understood; although they were both Flying-Winged Beast, Dala from the Tianning Tribe wasn't as smart as Jiujiu and Ying'ao.

However, when it comes to how to raise them, Jian Mo really didn't know. His Jiujiu and Ying'ao were naturally intelligent, so he hadn't had to worry about them much.

They chatted as they traveled, exchanging a lot of information.

The people of the Mengshui Tribe travel relatively slowly, but after a day's journey, the distance they covered was still considerable.

In the evening, the group arrived at the Sharp Teeth Tribe.

They will stay in the Sharp Teeth Tribe for about two days to facilitate exchanges of goods and information between nearby tribes.

Jian Mo had never directly interacted with the people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe, but she did grow onions from their tribe.
