Su Ming could clearly feel that Lei Chen's expression was unnatural. It was as if he was afraid and helpless. Su Ming looked towards the direction where the voice came from without batting an eyelid.
The moment he saw it, Su Ming was stunned by what he saw!
It was a woman. She wore a shirt made of mink fur. She was also tall, so much so that she seemed to be a head taller than the frail Su Ming. It only served to accentuate her beauty. Her skin was not as rough as the other Berserkers. Instead, it was fair, and at the same time, it gave off a beauty that could make a person's heart pound.
Her black hair was tied up by a red rope made of grass. It was tied into two small braids by her ears. The rest of her hair flowed behind her head. When the wind blew, a few strands of her hair floated in the air, adding to her beauty.
Her eyes were like clear water. When she looked around, there was a hint of sharpness. There was a cold glint in her eyes. There were some sparkling crystals on her forehead. When the snow on the ground touched them, they shone brightly.
In particular, one could faintly see the two pure white canine teeth of the woman as she exhaled. There was an invisible aura of wildness about this woman.
She was not a normal Berserker. She was the same as Su Ming, a Berserker. However, the Qi in her body showed that she was only at the third level of the Blood Solidification Realm.
She was not alone. There were three other Berserkers behind her. They were like small hills, and their gazes were cold as they stared at Su Ming and Bei Ling. The Qi exuding from their bodies was only slightly weaker than Bei Ling's.
There were pictures painted on the three men's bodies, and they looked like centipedes. A barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes when he noticed this.
"Lei Chen, how dare you!" The woman glared at Lei Chen and gritted her teeth.
Lei Chen touched his nose. His face was as honest as ever as he smiled like an idiot.
"I was tricked by you like this last time. You took a dyed herb and sold it to me for three stone coins!" The woman stood in front of Lei Chen, her face filled with anger.
"You can't blame me. I didn't even know what herb it was. I just put it there. You were the one who wanted to buy it …" Lei Chen said, feeling wronged.
"Hmph, give me the stone coins!" The woman glared at Lei Chen, and even Su Ming, who was by his side, became disgusted with him. However, Su Ming's frail appearance caused the woman to automatically ignore him after she took a few more glances at him.
"But I …" Lei Chen smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a flash of coldness in the woman's eyes. The eyes of the three men behind her became even sharper. He immediately swallowed his words and groaned inwardly.
"Lei Chen, is she the one from Dark Dragon Tribe that you told the elder about?" At that moment, Su Ming spoke slowly with an expressionless face.
The moment his words left his mouth, Lei Chen was momentarily stunned, but he quickly snapped out of his daze. He knew that Su Ming had always been a calm person. Since he had spoken, it meant that he would help. Besides, he understood Su Ming very well. When he heard Su Ming's strange words, a thought formed in his heart. He quickly took a few steps back and stood behind Su Ming, acting as if Su Ming was the leader.
"Yes, Young Man Tribe Master. That is the woman!" Lei Chen said respectfully.
Lei Chen's actions and words immediately caused the woman's gaze to fall on Su Ming. Surprise appeared on her face. The title of Young Berserker usually meant that he would be chosen as the Elder in the future. She looked at Su Ming carefully, but no matter how she looked at him, he only looked like a normal Berserker. That was why her face was still filled with murderous intent and her voice was cold.
"I don't care whether you are the Young Man Tribe Master or not. Give me back my stone coins!"
"Alright! I'll give you the stone coins. But I came here with Lei Chen today to find you! "Su Ming's expression was calm. He put his right hand into his bosom and took out three stone coins.
"Give me the herb you bought from Lei Chen!" Su Ming looked at the woman and spoke slowly.
The woman was stunned. She did not expect to get the stone coins back so easily. She could not help but feel surprised. She looked at Su Ming and Lei Chen.
"What herb is that?" She hesitated for a moment. She did not take the stone coins back but asked tentatively.
"That is …" Lei Chen was about to speak when he was interrupted by a low shout.
"Shut up!" Su Ming glared at Lei Chen coldly. Lei Chen trembled and quickly lowered his head as if he was in awe.
The woman blinked at the sight. She became even more confused. She hesitated for a moment before taking out a purple herb from her bosom. The herb looked normal but it was completely purple, making it look ferocious.
At the instant she brought out the herb, the woman handed it to Su Ming, but her eyes were fixed on his expression. When she saw his eyes brighten and he stretched out his hand as if he was about to grab it impatiently, the woman suddenly started giggling like silver bells and swiftly retracted her hand.
"What are you doing?! That's my herb! I bought it! Are you trying to steal my herb? "The woman scrunched up her nose and let out a harrumph.
"Miss, do you still want the stone coins?" Su Ming was momentarily stunned and frowned.
"Why not? But I need to think about it. If you can prove that you're the Young Master of Dark Mountain Tribe, then I'll give you the herb." There was a cunning look in the woman's eyes. That look made the wildness around her even stronger.
Even Su Ming could not help but feel his heart race, but his expression did not change much.
Su Ming was silent for a moment. He looked at the woman before him and suddenly took a deep breath. He lifted his left hand and the presence of the Qi of someone at the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm spread out from his right hand.
"Is this proof enough?!"
This sudden change immediately caused the woman's pupils to shrink. Even the expressions of the three burly men behind her became grave.
It was not hard to understand why they would react that way. After all, no matter how they looked at Su Ming just a moment ago, he was just a normal member of their tribe. There was not a hint of Qi on him. Yet the sudden change in his expression made them feel uncertain.
"Young master, there must be a powerful Berserker casting an Art on this person to hide the traces of his Qi. This powerful Berserker is also much stronger than the three of us, or else we would have sensed it."
"That's right. I've been watching for a long time but I didn't notice anything. Only the Elder of Dark Mountain Tribe could do this …"
The three burly men behind the woman whispered to the young girl.
The girl's eyes flashed. She lowered her head and looked at the purple herb in her hands. She hesitated for a moment. She had been trading for this herb for quite some time. At that time, she had even talked to Lei Chen about it. It was not easy for her to get it. She thought it was an unknown item and wanted to ask the elder about it. But she found out that the purple color of the herb had stained her hands the next day. It was obvious that she had stained it later.
This made her angry. It was hard for her to swallow her anger. That was why she often brought the herb here, hoping to meet that bastard Lei Chen again.
Just as she was hesitating, Su Ming's slightly anxious voice reached her ears.
"I've already proven myself. Don't go back on your word. Here are three stone coins … Oh well, I'll give you five stone coins!" Su Ming gritted his teeth and took out two more stone coins and gave them to the girl.
"Five stone coins for the herb!"
The girl blinked. It was obvious that Lei Chen was the one who told her that she was from Dark Dragon Tribe the moment he opened his mouth. He even raised the price of the Elder of Dark Mountain Tribe …
"It shouldn't be fake. This is a treasure!" The girl's face was filled with pride as she shook her head.
"What? What are you doing? What's wrong with me going back on my word? This is mine. If you want to trade for it, then give me 30 stone coins!" As the girl spoke, she saw Su Ming's bitter expression and Lei Chen's gloomy face. She became even more pleased with herself. She turned around and left with a huff.
The three burly men followed behind him, gradually disappearing into the distance within the square.
When the four of them left, the gloomy look on Lei Chen's face disappeared. He looked at Su Ming with a silly smile and touched his nose.
"Su Ming, how did you know she's from Dark Dragon Tribe?"
"So you traded for three stone coins. You still have one more, right? Give it to me!" Su Ming glanced at Lei Chen and put the stone coin back into his bosom.
"Don't, that … that stone coin I bought last time … Ha, I still have something to do. How about this? Let's split up. I'll wait for you here tonight and we'll go back to the tribe together." Lei Chen's eyelids twitched as he quickly spoke. He did not wait for Su Ming's reply. He immediately ran a few steps and disappeared into the crowded square.
Su Ming shook his head as he watched Lei Chen run away. If it were not for the fact that he was too poor, he would not have revealed his Qi. The elder's Berserker Art was incredibly powerful. If Su Ming did not show it willingly, it would be difficult for others to see through it.
But if he did not do it, then not only would he have to return the two stone coins he got from Lei Chen to the girl, he would also have to pay with another stone coin.
"Ah, looks like I'll have to use that method …" Su Ming scratched his head and walked towards the square, troubled.
The square was bustling with activity. There were people buying and selling things in the tents. There were even people who laid out a small piece of beast skin on the snow outside. They placed the herbs and items they wanted to trade on it and sat by the side, waiting for the buyer to arrive.
It was Su Ming's first time here. Everything was new to him. He walked around the square and looked at the items he had never seen before. There were bones of wild beasts and all sorts of strange herbs. There were even some medicinal concoctions that had been made.
"They sell Dark Dragon's Saliva too. One small bottle costs one stone coin!" Su Ming stopped and looked at the Dark Dragon's Saliva on the beast skin on the ground. He blinked.
"How much Dark Dragon's Saliva have I drunk since I was young … How many stone coins would that cost?! Xiao Hong also drank quite a lot … "Su Ming mumbled as he was about to leave. Suddenly, he focused his gaze and stared at the item on the beast skin on the snow not too far away.
"This is …" Su Ming took a deep breath and walked towards the beast skin stall. He cast a glance at the owner of the stall. It was an old man in his fifties. He wore a loose beast skin shirt and sat cross-legged on the snow, unmoving.
