Chapter 71 Mountain People

Outside a flat jungle, a large stockade stood in it, and there were many people living in it.

Riding on the horse, Chen Changming could clearly see that there were many dark-skinned barbarians standing on the village in the distance.

Contrary to Chen Changming's imagination, these barbarians were not all naked in animal skins. Instead, they generally wore cloth clothes. Although the material looked very rough, they were still very decent.

If you ignore their somewhat awkward mountain language, it's kind of like that.

Seeing Chen Changming and his party coming from the outside world, they seemed very excited and ran around there. It seemed that they were going to spread the news.

After a while, in front of Chen Changming and others, the gate of the stockade in front was opened, and the people inside came out.

Walking out of the stockade were about a dozen mountain people, all of whom looked tall and burly.

They were wearing linen clothes, and if they didn't speak, compared with Chen Changming and his group, they would just have darker skin, nothing special.

But as soon as they spoke, the accent that belonged to barbarians could not be concealed.

"Dear guest, please follow us to rest inside."

Among the barbarians in front of him, an old man who looked very old spoke in a somewhat weird Mandarin.

Afterwards, Chen Yiming also stepped forward from the team and chatted with him in a low voice.

After a while, Chen Yiming came back and led Chen Changming and the others forward.

Following Chen Yiming and the others, Chen Changming walked towards the stockade in front of him.

After a while, he walked into it.

A unique smell came from all around.

This smell is mixed with many things, a bit like the smell of medicine, and some like the smell of burnt meat, it looks very weird.

Chen Changming looked up and found the source of the smell.

In the surrounding area, there are quite a few medicinal herbs lying around, which should be drying in the sun.

As for that burnt meaty smell, it's bacon.

"In addition to spiritual things, the wild forest also produces medicinal materials."

Chen Zide stood beside Chen Changming, and said to him, "Many of the medicinal materials used in your clinic come from here."

Chen Changming nodded and continued to look around.

As they approached, many children from the mountain people stepped forward and circled around them. It seemed that they were not afraid of life at all.

Chen Zide and the others also took out a lot of things from their arms very familiarly, and threw them to these children.

For a while, the atmosphere seemed very warm.

This scene is very harmonious, nothing special happened.

After entering the stockade, several mountain people stepped forward and brought Chen Changming and the others to the room that had already been prepared.

Then, following Chen Yiming and other elders, Chen Changming came to another place.

Following Chen Yiming and the others, Chen Changming came to a remote small room and saw something in it.

Those are a few red grasses, which look very beautiful, like the color of blood, very bright.

"how?"

Bringing Chen Changming and the others here, the old mountain man pointed to the red grass in front of him with a smile on his face.

Chen Yiming didn't speak, but turned around and looked at Chen Changming who was beside him.

Chen Changming nodded, and then stepped forward.

Under the surprised eyes of the few mountain people on the side, Chen Changming walked forward and carefully checked the few red grasses.

He checked carefully for a moment, then nodded: "No problem, it was only moved in the last half a month, it's very fresh."

Seeing what Chen Changming said, Chen Yiming and the others nodded.

"Just according to the price agreed in advance, someone will send it after five thousand taels of silver."

He said so.

The old man of the mountain people shook his head: "Why do we need so much money?"

"I don't need the money this time, I only need Xiao Dan."

"This is not the price agreed in advance."

Chen Changming frowned.

"You once said that these things can be exchanged for pills."

The old man from the mountains did not lose the wind at all, and said so.

Just like that, they started talking word by word, and started arguing at this place.

Looking at their argument from the side, Chen Changming couldn't help shaking his head.

Chen Zide patted him on the shoulder helplessly, and dragged him out for a stroll.

"Basically every time."

Walking out of the room, Chen Zide shook his head, feeling a little helpless: "These mountain tribes were all miserable at first, and all of them were miserable haha, but after mastering the channel to obtain spiritual objects, they suddenly became rich."

"It's not enough to just ask for money, but also finished pills."

"What do they want the pill for?"

Chen Changming looked into the distance and asked.

"On the one hand, it is to practice martial arts, and on the other hand, it is to grow your body."

Chen Zide said: "Although the barbarians don't practice martial arts like our Chen family does, there are quite a few of them who practice martial arts, but the martial arts they practice are different from ours."

"In addition to the consumption of martial arts, on the other hand, it is also to prevent premature death."

"Death?"

Chen Changming was a little puzzled.

"good."

Chen Zide nodded: "Although the surrounding area of ​​this barren forest is relatively peaceful, the surrounding miasma is also very serious. Living in this ghostly place for a long time, adults are fine, but those children can't stand it anymore, and the possibility of premature death is very high."

"So here, those mountain tribes who have the conditions will feed their children some small pills."

"Little Dan contains pure spiritual energy, which can nourish the body."

"As long as the body is strong, it will naturally not be so easy to die."

"I see."

Chen Changming nodded thoughtfully.

"Remember not to run around later."

Chen Zide glanced at Chen Changming: "You are the only alchemist in our clan now, and those barbarians know about it, so I may not know how to entertain you."

"Maybe you were lying down at night, and suddenly found that you were sleeping in the boudoir of some barbarian woman, and someone snatched you to be the husband of the village."

He patted Chen Changming on the shoulder and winked at him.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Chen Changming was speechless.

"Believe it or not."

Chen Zide smiled: "But with your small body, it's better to be careful in this place."

After finishing speaking, Chen Changming glanced at him lightly, smiled and said nothing.

They chatted here for a while, squatted outside for a while, and waited for Chen Yiming to come out from inside.

Walking out of the inner room, Chen Changming's face looked a little ugly. He walked up to Chen Changming and patted him on the shoulder.

"Next, Chang Ming, you may be busy."

He patted Chen Changming on the shoulder and said helplessly.

Apparently, the old mountain man did not let go in the end and kept his request unchanged.

They asked for the elixir. As the only alchemist in the Chen family, Chen Changming's next task would naturally be heavier.

Regarding this result, Chen Yiming was a little helpless, and felt a little sorry for Chen Changming.

Chen Changming felt that it didn't matter.

"How many pills do they want?" He looked at Chen Yiming and asked.

"Twenty small pills."

Listening to this number, Chen Changming nodded, but did not continue to say anything.

For the next time, Chen Changming and his party lived in this place.

According to Chen Yiming, they still have to stay in this tribe for a few days before they can leave and really go to the wild forest.

So during this period of time, Chen Changming and Chen Zide could act since they were young.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Chen Changming was also exploring around.

For him, this barbarian tribe is a completely new map.

In Jiufeng County, after nearly a year of operation, many people inside have been projected by Chen Changming, losing the value of projection.

But this barbarian tribe has not yet, and belongs to a brand new area.

For Chen Changming, this is a big treasure.

So during this period of time, he had a heated fight with some mountain boy youths here.

"Look at my bunch of herbs."

At noon, a smiling mountain boy took a black medicinal herb from his hand, and held it in front of Chen Changming with a face like offering a treasure.

"great."

Chen Changming nodded with a smile: "Good job."

"Contact plus one"

Looking at the handwriting that appeared in front of his eyes, the smile on Chen Changming's face remained unchanged. He took out some things from the side and handed them to the mountain boy in front of him.

Most of those things were small snacks, similar to desserts, candied haws and other gadgets, which were basically bought by Chen Yiming and the others when they went up the mountain before, and they happened to be used by Chen Changming.

The surrounding barbarian teenagers left with a smile on their face, playing around lively and happily.

Standing at the same spot, looking at the barbarian boys who left, Chen Changming looked at the new name added to the projected column in front of him, and couldn't help smiling: "It's not bad."

Maybe it's because the young people's feelings are more sincere, or maybe it's because these mountain people are more simple.

In just a few days, he gained a lot of connections just through some snacks and the like.

There are even a few children who like Chen Changming more, and they have formed projections.

For these gains, Chen Changming felt quite satisfied.

These children are basically ordinary teenagers in this tribe, and few of them have practiced martial arts. Even if Chen Changming is a projection, basically he can't manifest much.

But for these projections, Chen Changming didn't ask much, just asking for a share of life energy was enough.

After practicing Taixuan Tiangong, Chen Changming is now a big consumer of life energy, but he has to try every bit of mosquito meat.

Of course, Chen Changming was also in a very happy mood while playing with the group of mountain youths, and the smile he showed was not a disguise.

It's double the joy.

Standing where he was, looking at the children playing in the distance, he smiled and was about to go back to his room.

But at this moment, he noticed a figure in the distance.

In the distance, a small figure was standing there, watching him secretly.
