Chapter 590: Chapter 592: The Territory of the Western Ming Deer Clan
At this point, Ji Hu really had no better solutions. The promise made by the leader of the Taoyuan Clan was also reasonable, so Ji Hu accepted it.
He took a deep breath before starting to slowly recount some of the news he knew.
...
Before the wrath of the mountain god occurred in the Wilderness, the life of the Antelope Tribe was quite prosperous because they could always find both large and small Salt Caves. Through trade with other tribes, they were able to store a considerable amount of goods.
The Ming Deer Clan was one of the Antelope Tribe’s most favorite clans since they were always generous. Each time they came, they would exchange nearly half of the saved-salt of the Antelope Tribe.
Of course, the prey they left behind was also plentiful, especially a particular type of fruit that was round, yellow, and hard. This fruit could be stored for long time, so they generally stored these beans to consume in the winter.
The only downside was that eating too many of these fruits can cause one to fart.
As the Ming Deer Clan visited more frequently, they gradually became familiar with each other, sometimes chatting about things happening inside the tribe.
It was during a conversation with a Beastman from the Ming Deer Clan that Ji Hu learned the Clan had now settled on the Xixili Flatland.
The Xixili Flatland sounds like a very beautiful name, but in order to reach it, one must pass through a canyon called First-tier Sky.
If you mention the Xixili Flatland, some Beastmen might not know it, but if you mention the First-tier Sky, it will make many Beastmen shudder.
This canyon is covered with a white fog all year round, which can be lethal if inhaled excessively.
Not only is the bottom of the canyon filled with this mist, but it also permeates the air. The length of the canyon is said to be so great that even beastmen with birdlike bodies can’t fly over it.
It is rumoured outside that the lands beyond First-tier Sky are where the god Beast resides, and he set up this fog barrier in order to avoid being disturbed.
But only Ji Hu knows that beyond the First-tier Sky is the Xixili Flatland where the reclusive Ming Deer Clan resides.
And the Ming Deer Clan somehow manages to move around in the canyon without being affected by the fog.
As for the Sky Fox Clan.
Ji Hu does not know much about them, but according to the description from the Ming Deer Clan Beastman, the Sky Fox Clan also resides in the Xixili Flatland and is in an antagonistic relationship with the Ming Deer Clan.
As for others, Ji Hu simply didn’t know.
Having listened to Ji Hu’s description, Su Tang could roughly figure out that the fog he talked about is most probably a miasma poisonous gas caused by the decay of dead animals and leaves, compounded by high temperatures in that area.
However, Su Tang was more interested in another thing he had mentioned.
"Old man, do you still have any of those hard, yellow fruits that the Ming Deer Clan traded you? I’d like to see them."
Round, hard, yellow, and makes you fart if you eat too many...emmmm...
Could it be soybeans?
It’s great if they’re soybeans. They can be turned into tofu, tofu skin, tofu pudding, douhua, soy milk, stinky tofu, soy sauce...
For a moment, all sorts of soybean products flashed before Su Tang’s eyes, she felt like a delightful feast was beckoning her. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Ji Hu shook his head, "No more, when the wrath of the mountain god suddenly began in the Wilderness, we couldn’t bring anything with us."
Su Tang sighed regretfully, "Alright then."
It seems whether Ji Hu’s fruit is soybeans or not will remain a mystery until they reach the Ming Deer Clan.
