After Zhao Qian finished talking to the goat alien tribe, he left with Bai Yu and the others.
There are so many things they need to buy that they can't stay in front of one stall for too long.
However, it was a pity that they searched for a long time and never found what they needed.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the four of them gave up and continued searching. They found a stall and ordered some food, planning to meet Xin Shi after eating.
During the meal, Lie Ren asked curiously: "Zhao Qian, we have been looking for so long, what are you looking for?"
Zhao Qian was eating and replied: "We are currently looking for a kind of stone."
"Stone?"
Hearing this, Liebian and the other three were stunned and asked: "There are stones everywhere, do we still need to look for them?"
Zhao Qian smiled and said: "What I am looking for is not an ordinary stone, but a stone containing 'iron'. I call it iron ore."
Bai Yu asked: "What is the use of this thing called 'iron'?"
Zhao Qian thought for a while and said: "For Tan Luo, iron is of no use."
Although on earth, all walks of life are inseparable from steel, in the wild world, steel is of almost no use to Tamro.
He has tested the strength of animal bones, among which the animal bones of hybrid beasts are comparable in strength to ordinary steel.
The higher the level of the beast bones, the greater the strength. The beast bones of the barbarian beasts can already completely crush steel.
Therefore, even if steel is smelted in the wilderness, Tanluo will most likely not use it.
However, this does not mean that steel is useless.
Although the strength of animal bones is very high, the limitations are also very obvious, that is, they cannot be used to make things at will. When used, they must be polished according to the shape of the bones, which is somewhat similar to jade.
Steel has no such restrictions.
Of course, at this stage, he cannot use steel to make anything too high-tech. He only plans to make some daily necessities, such as kitchen knives, scissors...
After all, ordinary people cannot afford animal bones, and most tribesmen still use stone-polished tools.
"What's the use of making it?"
Bai Yu and the others looked at Zhao Qian with puzzled faces.
In their eyes, anything that Tan Luo can't use is useless garbage.
"of course……"
Just as Zhao Qian was about to answer, the sound of a whip suddenly sounded not far away, followed by painful screams.
Zhao Qian and the others were attracted by the sound. They turned their heads and looked over. They saw three or four Tanluo, escorting more than ten slaves, walking past not far away.
These more than ten slaves were tied to a cane and lined up in a row. One of the elderly slaves walked a little slower, so he was whipped hard by Tan Luo.
Faced with this situation, Bai Yu, Lie Ren, and Qiu Ya didn't take it seriously at all, as if in their eyes, this was a common thing.
But Zhao Qian frowned when he saw it, still not used to this kind of scene.
However, he did not stand up to stop it, because this is the way the wild world is.
However……
Just when these slaves were about to leave, the voice of the Sky-Swallowing Beast suddenly sounded, "Zhao Qian, save the white-haired female slave."
Zhao Qian frowned slightly, "Give me a reason."
The sky-swallowing beast said: "Does that white-haired female slave have the elemental beast core you need?"
Zhao Qian asked: "Didn't you say that there is an upper limit to the characteristics of the animal pattern that I can swallow? If I swallow too many, the previous characteristics will be overwritten."
At first, he thought that relying on the beast core of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, he could master many kinds of beast pattern characteristics.
But later, the Sky-Swallowing Beast told him that currently he could only master three characteristics in total. If he continued to devour, the characteristics he devoured first would be overwritten.
It is precisely for this reason that he has never used the Yuan Beast Core with the Dream Poison Fire properties that he obtained from Qiu Ya.
The sky-swallowing beast said: "Stop asking so many questions, go quickly, I will explain to you later, otherwise I will go far away."
"knew!"
Zhao Qian looked at the slaves who were walking further and further away, casually took out a hybrid Yuan Beast Core and threw it on the table, and said, "Put the Yuan Beast Core on the table. I have something else to do, you guys eat slowly."
After saying that, he quickly chased after Bai Yu and the others, regardless of the puzzled looks on his face.
Seeing this, Bai Yu and the others hurriedly finished the remaining food, wiped their mouths casually, and started to catch up.
"Wait a moment!"
The tribesman at the stall suddenly stopped the three of them, picked up the hybrid Yuan Beast core on the table and said: "The meat you are eating is pure Yuan Beast meat, and one hybrid Yuan Beast core is far from enough."
Bai Yu asked: "How much more?"
The tribesman said: "Just give me another pure beast core."
"A pure beast core!"
When Bai Yu and the other three heard this, they showed contemptuous smiles on their faces.
You know, they are all the proud sons of their respective tribes. When they went out this time, the tribe gave them a lot of yuan beast cores for them to spend.
Not to mention a pure-bred Yuan Beast core, they can also take out even a barbarian or even a King-bred Yuan beast core.
Thinking about it, the three of them started groping around on their bodies.
After a while, the expressions on the three people's faces turned ugly.
Because they suddenly rang out, when they entered the Ministry of Commerce, Zhao Qian took away their Yuan Beast cores on the pretext of doing business together.
Now, the three of them don't even have a hybrid beast core.
…
Zhao Qian didn't know what happened to Bai Yu and the others. He quickly caught up with the three Tan Luo who were escorting the slaves and stood in the front.
When the three Tan Luo saw this, they immediately made a defensive posture and looked at Zhao Qian with vigilant eyes.
Zhao Qian quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, you three. I just want to ask, do you sell these slaves?"
Hearing this, the three Tanluo asked curiously: "You stopped us just to buy slaves?"
"right!"
Zhao Qian nodded, looked at the dozen slaves, and soon found the white-haired female slave mentioned by the Sky-Swallowing Beast.
Compared with other slaves, this white-haired female slave is particularly conspicuous because she is the only one with silver hair.
Of course, this white-haired female slave is not old. On the contrary, she is still very young. Her skin is as fair as cream, and it actually sparkles a little under the sunlight.
As for his appearance, he couldn't see it because it was covered by his hair.
Zhao Qian pointed to the white-haired female slave and said, "I want to buy her, at what price?"
"she!"
The three Tan Luo were startled, shook their heads and said: "If it were other slaves, we have the right to sell them to you, but not this female slave."
Zhao Qian frowned and asked, "Why not?"
A Tanluo replied: "Can't you see that she is from the White Crystal Clan?"
"The White Crystal Clan?"
Zhao Qian's face was full of questions. He had never heard of this race.
At this time, the voice of the Sky-Swallowing Beast sounded again: "The White Crystal Clan, one of the Inhuman Races, looks almost exactly like humans, but has white hair and crystal-like skin, but the most important thing is the bones of the White Crystal Clan.
.”
Zhao Qian asked in confusion: "What happened to the bones of the Baijing clan?"
The Sky-Swallowing Beast said: "The bones of the White Crystal Clan are the purest crystal. Some perverted high-ranking officials of some tribes will destroy the bodies of the White Crystal Clan and only keep their skeletons."
