"Mu, why have you come to our tribe?" Ye Xuan stood within the territory of the Snake tribe and looked at the muscular man who claimed to be from the Rabbit tribe.
"Respected God!" Hearing Ye Xuan's question, Mu patted his left chest with his right hand and bowed respectfully, then said, "This time, our tribe's chief asked us to come here to find if there are similar humans nearby and see if we can form an alliance."
Of course, Mu's original words could not be so concise and clear. In this case, it was naturally Ye Xuan who rewrote it.
"Oh?" After hearing Mu's words, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. He did not think that the Rabbit tribe's chief would have such an idea. He actually wanted to form an alliance with another tribe.
This was a major change in policy. Previously, Ye Xuan knew from the shamaness' memory that human tribes had never formed an alliance. Only large tribes split into smaller tribes due to a lack of food. The smaller tribes would either find a good place to live and reproduce, or they would perish.
And the Rabbit tribe's chief said that he wanted to form an alliance. Could it be that the Rabbit tribe was already quite strong and wanted to increase their population?
This was not Ye Xuan's imagination running wild. In the real world's history, many of the first people to propose an alliance were ambitious people who wanted to swallow up the weaker tribes and increase their own strength.
"How many people does your tribe have? Why does your chief want to form an alliance with another tribe?" Ye Xuan asked after a moment of thought.
"God, the total number of people in our tribe is about the same as your tribe. The reason our chief wants us to form an alliance is because we have already formed an alliance with a bird tribe outside of our tribe. Forming an alliance will allow us to live a better life." As Mu spoke, he turned around and asked the people of the Rabbit tribe behind him to take out the things they were carrying on their backs. He spread them on the ground and said, "This is our chief's sincerity in forming an alliance. There is some food, some hard stone tools we found, and something we found that can make us very strong if we eat it."
Well, now that the human race had just been born, most of them could only count less than ten. Even if a shaman wanted to remember something, he would use the knots of big and small grass ropes as a substitute. It was impossible for him to know the real number.
However, Ye Xuan did not care about that. Instead, he looked at the items that Mu had brought to form an alliance. First, there was some meat that looked like it had been roasted. Then, there were some sharpened stone tools, and a handful of grayish-black crystals.
Looking at these things, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, then walked in front of those things and squatted down. He ignored the roasted meat and looked at the sharpened stone tools.
These stoneware were different from the stoneware of the snake tribe. Most of them were dark. Ye Xuan picked up a stoneware that looked like a dagger. It seemed to be heavier than the stoneware of the snake tribe. With a thought, his divine sense suddenly wrapped around the entire stoneware.
"Huh?!" Suddenly, Ye Xuan let out a cry of surprise. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
This was because he discovered that this stoneware wasn't made from ordinary stone. It contained a dense amount of iron yuan. It was obviously a piece of iron ore.
"Where did you find these stoneware?" Ye Xuan suddenly raised his head and asked Mu.
Iron was an extremely important resource. If they could forge iron and use it, then the human race in the Primitive Realm would be able to protect themselves one step further.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Mu's eyes flickered. There seemed to be some struggle in his expression.
This kind of stone was an extremely hard stone discovered by the rabbit tribe. The people of the rabbit tribe discovered that the stoneware made from this kind of stone was much harder and sharper than ordinary stoneware. This allowed the rabbit tribe to have more powerful weapons and kill more prey.
Although Mu didn't know what a strategic resource was, he knew that this kind of stone was extremely important to the rabbit tribe.
Of course, this wasn't something that needed to be kept a secret. After all, when he came out, the chief of the tribe asked him to bring them out to form an alliance. Naturally, this was also a matter of showing off the tribe's strength.
What worried Mu the most was that the snake tribe seemed to be very powerful. Not only did they have this unfathomable god, but there was also a huge bear next to them. Although this huge bear had been lying on the side without moving, Mu felt that even if all the warriors of the tribe joined forces, they might not be able to defeat this huge bear.
If this god of the snake tribe took a fancy to the stones in their tribe, then would they be able to keep them?
However, Mu also knew that since they were already here and the God in front of him had seen these stones, even if he didn't say anything, the God in front of him might still follow them back to their tribe.
With such conflicting thoughts, Mu finally opened his mouth. "Respected god, this was discovered by the wise man of our tribe in a mountain. There aren't many of these stones there, and they're all underground. We only managed to obtain some of these stones after much effort."
After hearing Mu's words, Ye Xuan nodded slightly. From Mu's words, Ye Xuan analyzed that the mountain they discovered should have relatively rich iron ores. It was because of this that they could obtain such rich iron ores even in the open.
Ye Xuan was naturally very interested in iron ores. As long as he could find this iron mine and find a way to extract iron from the ores, then the human race in the Great Realm of Desolation could directly enter the Iron Age from the Stone Age.
However, he didn't continue to ask Mu about the iron mine, because he could already tell that Mu seemed to have an extremely strong sense of protection towards the iron mine they discovered.
Although Ye Xuan really wanted this iron mine, he didn't think of taking it by force.
Putting down the stone artifact in his hand, Ye Xuan shifted his gaze to the small grayish-black crystals that were wrapped in a small animal skin.
"What is this?" Ye Xuan pointed to the pile of small grayish-black crystals and asked Mu.
"This is something that our tribe discovered. Eating it can increase the strength of our tribe's warriors. If we add it to our roasted meat, it will be even more delicious." When he mentioned this, Mu's face flashed with a hint of pride.
"Oh? Can this thing be eaten? "Ye Xuan asked with a smile.
"Of course it can. Just like this, try it!" After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Mu took a piece of roasted meat from the roasted meat beside him. Then, he pinched some of the grayish-black crystals and sprinkled them on the roasted meat. Finally, he passed it to Ye Xuan.
Looking at the roasted meat that Mu passed to him, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. He took the roasted meat and opened his mouth to eat.
"Hmm?!" Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes widened slightly. Feeling the slightly bitter and salty taste in his mouth, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is salt?!"
