One day passed quickly, and the time came to the fourth day.

Early in the morning, Li Hu, Ming Guang, and Han Shu all came over.

Because today they are rushing to the old department of the Manglong Department with the things they traded.

According to yesterday's agreement, fifty people, fifty mounts, and five wolves.

Of course, when he passed through the jungle, he would definitely go to the wolf king to "borrow soldiers".

Now Mu Feng himself felt that he was getting more and more comfortable in seeking help from the wolf king, and he was merciless in giving his prey.

After all, what he gave was prey, and the wolves were going out with their lives.

He feels that his current relationship with wolves is like the relationship between an employer and a mercenary—this made him lament that in a game he played in his previous life, there was a profession called "mercenary". There is such a wonderful profession.

Unexpectedly, now he is "spending money" to hire wolves.

Armored Earth Dragon and Ming Guang took the remaining nearly thirty warriors at home, together with a dozen or so female warriors led by Fuyu to protect the tribe.

The things they brought were five jars of salt, 20 live horned deer and 20 sheep each. They were all tied up and put directly on the horses, so it was sure that they would not affect their progress on the road.

Interestingly, these prey were all males.

In addition, fifty bone knives and fifty stone sticks were seized from other tribes before and thrown into the tribe's cave as waste.

No one thought that these things and salt would become the main materials for this exchange.

The things for the transaction were ready, and Mu Feng and the others also brought their weapons.

Bows and arrows, flying stone ropes, Udo and bamboo spears were prepared on horseback.

Considering the confidentiality, Mu Feng planned not to enter the Reckless Dragon Department with mounts, bows and arrows at that time, and expected to keep about 20 people hiding nearby.

One does not reveal wealth, and the other does not reveal strength.

But the necessary self-defense weapons should still be carried.

So Mu Feng asked all the clansmen who set off to sew a few more pockets inside their animal skin clothes, each pocket could hold a few stones, a total of ten or so, and together they were about the size of a fist.

Then use Udo as a waist belt or a hair rope wrapped around the head, so that it is not easy to attract the attention and suspicion of others, and it can also be used as an emergency in a crisis situation.

The two ends of the bamboo spear were wrapped and tied with animal skins, and they were used as a shoulder pole for picking things.

In this way, if there is no accident, no one would think that each of the members of the Jiang family would carry a weapon with them.

"The world is dangerous and people's hearts are dangerous, so we have to guard against it!" Mu Feng told everyone like this, and then waved his hand, "Let's go!"

So the members of the Jiang clan went out of the clan again, and when passing by the giant tree, he once again borrowed "children" from the wolf king. The two wolves even came to Mazi's side and sniffed carefully. After barking twice, they started to explore the way forward on their own initiative.

Mu Feng felt refreshed in his heart, this feeling of "borrowing troops to fight a war" was really refreshing.

No need to worry about management issues, no need to consider subsequent personnel placement issues, just need to give "expensive" remuneration of "one sheep per wolf".

Save trouble, effort and worry, well, save prey!

The Manglong tribe is actually not far from the Jiang family, and it only takes seven days to walk back and forth. After calculating it, it takes a little more than three days for a one-way trip, and it takes about a day to put it on a horse.

Lihu still remembers the route.
Unlike the anxiety he felt when he went to the Manglong Division before, this time Lihu was clearly in high spirits.

In the past, when he went to the Reckless Dragon Department, he would worry about whether he could exchange it for salt, and whether he could come back safely after exchanging salt.

But now Li Hu only felt that there was no opponent on the entire grassland, and he even had some expectation that other tribes would come to plunder the Jiang family.

Li Hu's confidence was greatly boosted by his experience in the Frost Department two days ago. He felt that as long as the great chief was around, there would be nothing he couldn't handle.

Mu Feng didn't know what Li Hu was thinking, even if he knew, he might have to smile wryly.

He looked left and right along the way. He was really looking at the flowers on a flying horse, and he couldn't really see them, let alone find any useful plants.

This situation continued until near noon, when Li Hu told Mu Feng that he needed to turn northwest, the surrounding environment suddenly seemed to have changed.

A large piece of ramie grew wildly in the wilderness, it was as high as one and a half meters.

And the road from Tiger Belt happened to pass through this ramie field!

After traveling long distances, Mufeng asked the tribe to repair on the spot, and asked them to take out the dry food and water they had brought to eat on the spot - this kind of behavior of bringing dry food was also unique to the tribe after Mufeng suggested.

If this was the case in the past, the people of the tribe could only stop and rest on the spot at most. Where could they eat to replenish their strength?

As for Mu Feng, he was squatting in this ramie field and thinking, if such a large piece of ramie was taken back, the linen clothes in the tribe would not be much different, so it would not be much different.

He turned his head and told Li Hu: "When we go back, we must get more of these ramie, weave it into linen, make clothes or save it for other uses, it doesn't matter!"

"Okay!" Li Hu agreed.

"How long will it take to reach the Manglong Department?" Mu Feng asked.

"It's half the way here, and we can get there before dark." Li Hu replied.

"Are there any mountains or forests around the Manglong Department?" Mu Feng asked.

"They only have mountains in the west, but we haven't been there. The place where we enter the Manglong Department from the east is a forest, and there will be some wild animals at night."

Jungle, beasts..." Mu Feng muttered, "Are there any large beasts, such as tigers, bears and the like? "

Li Hu scratched his head: "I don't know, because we haven't stayed there before."

"Oh?" Mu Feng was surprised, "Then how did you go with Grandpa? It's a three-day journey, where will you spend the night?"

"We used to be in the wilderness. Everyone surrounded Grandpa and didn't dare to sleep. We just got through a few nights like this." Li Hu sighed a little, "So when we came to the Manglong Department before, everyone was worried, for fear that something would happen. What an accident."

Mu Feng also sighed a little.

He could even imagine a group of people surrounded in the wilderness in the dark, not daring to sleep, just staying up for a few nights in order to exchange salt, weapons and other things that the tribe desperately needed.

If they encounter wild beasts unfortunately, they will all fight together out of the instinct of survival in the dark, and bloodshed and casualties are inevitable.

And all of this is nothing more than for the survival of the tribe and the continuation of the race.

The entire tribe, or the entire human race, seems to have continued their race and continued their blood in such a cruel environment.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, we don't have to take any risks. We can still spend the night in the wilderness when we approach the Manglong tribe, and just set up camp!"

"Now, our Jiang family no longer has to fear the dangers in the wilderness!"
