Fang Yuan followed Ge Guang's group towards the west.
They had hump wolves and their speed was not slow.
Along the way, the group's atmosphere was harmonious.
On one hand, Fang Yuan wanted to get close to them, he had some ulterior motives. On the other hand, Ge Guang wanted to befriend them, he had respect in his heart.
Northern plains' people were brave and fierce, but they were straightforward and forthright.
If you did not have strength, northern plains' people would look down on you, it would be hard to befriend you. But if your fists were strong and hard, northern plains' people would respect you. When you were angry with them, their passion would let you understand what was called 'regret not having met earlier'.
In just two days, Fang Yuan and Ge Guang were on good terms.
Fang Yuan wanted to use Ge tribe as a springboard to truly integrate into northern plains. After all, Chang Shan Yin had disappeared for over twenty years, he had to let the people accept his sudden return.
At the same time, he lacked Yuan stone and defensive Gu, he needed to trade for them.
Fang Yuan did not find any defensive Gu worms on Chang Shan Yin's corpse. It should have been destroyed in the battle with Ha Tu Gu.
Ge Guang was also filled with gratitude, reverence and curiosity towards Fang Yuan.
Gratitude because Fang Yuan saved his life.
Reverence because along the way, Fang Yuan controlled the wolf group and displayed top notch attainment. Moreover, his casual pointers were able to break through Ge Guang's cultivation bottleneck, he had the demeanor of a senior and the bearing of an expert.
Curiosity because Fang Yuan's words touched on the past, his tone was filled with emotions, and his gaze was filled with the vicissitudes of life, he was evidently an expert with a story. Ge Guang naturally had the desire to investigate, but he did not dare to ask.
Five days later, the group returned to Ge tribe's camp.
The camp was huge, there was a row of thick mud walls erected on the periphery. The mud walls were six feet tall, it was lush and green, dark green vines intertwined and spread, and under the large leaves were clusters of purple grape-like fruits.
These were not fruits, but wood path divine confusion Gu. When attacked by a group of beasts, these purple grapes would explode into liquid. When the liquid fell on the bodies of the beasts, they would lose consciousness and their bodies would sway. They wouldn't even be able to stand properly, let alone attack and fight.
Behind the earthen wall was a towering watchtower. There were usually three Gu Masters stationed on the tower, one defensive Gu Master and two investigative Gu Masters taking turns to keep watch.
The camp's gate opened and many Gu Masters came out to welcome them.
"The Young Clan Head is back! The Young Clan Head is back!"
"Young Clan Head just left a few days ago, and he's already back?"
"I heard they encountered a wind wolf pack and almost lost their lives, luckily they had enslavement path experts to help them!"
"Is that the middle-aged man? All these wolves were following him. Amazing! I wonder which tribe's expert is he from. "
Before Fang Yuan and the rest even got close to the camp, they met a patrolling Gu Master. Therefore, someone had already gone back to report in advance.
Because of this, the news was leaked, and many people pointed at Fang Yuan with great curiosity.
Some children shouted excitedly and jumped at the back of the group.
Fang Yuan sat on the hump wolf's back, looking at Ge Guang waving to the crowd. Every time he waved, the crowd would cheer. It could be seen that this young man had great prestige in Ge tribe.
From the conversations along the way, Fang Yuan had thoroughly understood Ge Guang. He was Ge Yao's elder brother, a typical northern plains man. He was forthright and loyal, regarding honor and glory as more important than life, he was courageous and brave. At the same time, the traditional concept of men being superior to women was deeply ingrained in his bones. Thus, he was extremely angry and disgusted with his sister's escape from the marriage.
But this anger and disgust did not mean that the brother-sister relationship was shallow.
On the contrary, if he knew that Fang Yuan was his sister's murderer, even if he had no primeval essence, he would use his teeth and limbs to take revenge on Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had lived in northern plains for five hundred years in his previous life, and had a deep understanding of northern plains people.
The group walked along the main path towards the center of the camp.
There were many tents around, similar to the Mongolian yurts on Earth. These were the houses that mortals lived in.
Many people heard the commotion and lifted the curtains. When they walked out and saw the wolf group beside Fang Yuan, their expressions changed. When they saw the young tribe leader, they quickly covered their hearts with their right hands and bowed to Ge Guang, greeting him loudly.
In the southern border, mortals would kneel when they met Gu Masters. But in northern plains, brave men only kneeled to heaven and earth, their ancestors and elders. Normally, they would not easily kneel, even if they met the tribe leader or elders.
These people were all wearing ordinary leather robes. Some had better family circumstances, the women wore jewelry, while the men had gold or purple threads embroidered on their clothes. Some had worse family circumstances, their clothes were tattered and even patched.
But this was much better than being a slave.
Along the way, Fang Yuan saw that the people kneeling on the ground were all slaves.
Most of these slaves did not have proper clothes, their faces were sallow and their bodies emaciated. In northern plains, these slaves had very low status and their lives were miserable.
In the hearts of northern plains people, raising slaves was equivalent to raising cattle and sheep. Slave trade was the most popular in northern plains.
In northern plains, those who lived in tents were mortals. The tents were distributed outside the camp, while the inner area was where the Gu Masters lived.
If a beast group attacked the camp, the mortals would be the first to suffer.
After Fang Yuan's group walked past the tents, they arrived at the Gu Master's area.
The Gu Masters on the grassland did not live in tents, but in Gu houses.
A Gu house was a house made from Gu. A simple Gu house was just a Gu. A more complex Gu house was built by combining many Gu together.
In the southern border, large caravans that traveled in the mountains and forests also had Gu houses.
Back then on Qing Mao mountain, Jia clan's caravan carried a Gu house, using a wood path Gu, Three Star Cave.
It was eighteen meters tall, a giant tree that reached into the sky. The tree roots were thick and strong, the branches were like entangling dragons and snakes. A small portion was exposed on the surface, while the rest were deeply rooted in the ground.
The tree trunk had three layers, and on the surface of the trunk, there were windows. Its defense was not something a tent could compare to.
When used, the logistics Gu Master would plant it and infuse it with primeval essence, causing it to grow. When reclaimed, it would form a seed.
But in Northern Plains, ordinary Gu Houses were all towering trees like Three Star Cave. Such a tall tree could easily be struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.
Thus, the first Gu house that Fang Yuan saw was the most commonly seen house lizard Gu in northern plains.
This was a rank two Gu, it looked like a lizard with different colors, the most common being dark green, sky blue, and milky white. Its body was huge, comparable to a bus on Earth. The two eye sockets of the lizard were made into windows. The two sides of the lizard also had windows.
The lizard was lying on the ground, opening its mouth and revealing a door.
After pushing the door open, there was a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were rooms. At the end of the corridor was a toilet, temporarily storing excrement.
When the tribe set off, the lizard would crawl up and move forward with its thick limbs.
When there was too much excrement in the toilet, these lizards would defecate, raising their tails and exposing their anus, excreting all the excrement.
The families living in the Gu house had at least one Gu Master.
The living environment here was clearly of a higher level than the tent area.
At the entrance of the Gu house, there were often big stomach horses with the reins coiled around the lizard's huge teeth. A few families even had hump wolves.
After Fang Yuan and the rest passed through these lizard house Gu, they saw the Gu house mushroom forest.
This Gu House was formed by planting a large number of mushroom room Gu. Every house was a giant mushroom with a fleshy gray conical roof. It could slide down the rain without attracting lightning strikes. It was also very stable in the strong wind.
The mushroom's thick cylindrical roots were the white walls, there were also windows on them.
Several mushroom room Gu were placed together, forming a unique small courtyard. Dozens of mushroom room Gu were planted together, forming a grassland, forming a small garden.
Those who lived in the mushroom forest were mostly clan elders or wealthy Gu Masters.
Hearing the movement of Fang Yuan and the rest, the windows of these mushroom rooms opened, revealing the faces of northern plains' women and children. Some lively children even ran out and touched the fur of the wind wolves or poison bearded wolves. They were much bolder than the children of mortals.
"Benefactor Chang Shan Yin, our Ge tribe's main tent is in front." Ge Guang spoke.
The group came to the center of the camp, there were hundreds of mushroom room Gu here.
An old man, who looked very similar to Ge Guang, led a group of Gu Masters and welcomed them.
Fang Yuan guessed that he was Ge tribe leader, and to show his courtesy, he got off the hump wolf.
The old tribe leader quickly walked to Fang Yuan, placing his right hand on his chest, he bowed deeply to Fang Yuan: "Esteemed expert, you saved my son, that is equivalent to saving the future of our Ge tribe. Please come in, we have prepared high quality horse milk wine, the cows and sheep are also being roasted. We will also have people to feed your wolf group. "
"Alright." Fang Yuan nodded, following Ge tribe leader into the largest mushroom forest.
In the mushroom forest, in the largest mushroom room Gu, everyone sat down.
The fragrant horse milk wine was placed in a leather bag, held by a beautiful young girl, standing behind everyone.
Large amounts of delicacies were served on the table.
Not long after, there were people carrying roasted whole sheep and cows to the center of the room.
Ge tribe leader personally got off his seat, coming to the center of the room, he used a dagger to cut off the eyes of the cows and sheep, then cut off the meat on their backs and chests. Next, he placed them on a golden plate, holding them with both hands, and personally brought them to Fang Yuan's table.
"Benefactor, please." Ge tribe leader raised his wine cup, standing in front of Fang Yuan, toasting him.
Northern plains people respected good men the most, and were very hospitable. In northern plains, if the host toasted to the guest, and the guest drank it all, it was a sign of respect to the host. On the contrary, if the guest did not drink, it was a sign of disdain.
When Fang Yuan drank the whole bowl of horse milk wine, everyone in the room cheered loudly, and the atmosphere started to heat up.
After Ge tribe leader toasted, it was Ge Guang's turn to toast, and Fang Yuan drank it all in one gulp. Next, it was the other elders' turn to toast. Fang Yuan drank it all, showing a heroic spirit that made everyone even happier.
After three rounds of toasts, the atmosphere in the room was already heated up.
"Benefactor Chang Shan Yin, your name sounds familiar. Are you a member of the Chang Clan? I have acquaintances in Chang tribe. My second daughter is married to Chang tribe. Maybe, we are even relatives. "Ge tribe leader put down his wine cup, his face was slightly red, but his eyes were shining brightly.
"Ge tribe leader, I know what you want to ask. I am from Chang tribe's Yuan Feng branch, the Shan generation, the only son in the family. My father is Chang Sheng Chun, and my mother is Chang Cui. "Fang Yuan sighed, replying in a melancholic tone.
Ge tribe leader's eyes opened wide, looking at Fang Yuan in shock: "You, you are really warrior Chang Shan Yin?!"
