The Origin of Water

Hatu quickly said, "Sir, we have several other Tu Man Tribe settlements around us. We usually reproduce through intermarriage. Our women marry into their tribes, and their women marry into ours. It's not just two tribes intermarrying, but several tribes."

Ice Seal nodded, indicating he understood.

The crowd looked at Ye Chen and the others with some surprise and a hint of fear in their eyes.

Hatu said to his tribesmen, "Don't worry, these sirs are just passing through and are guests here."

Hearing Hatu's words, everyone finally relaxed.

Everyone consciously made way, allowing Ye Chen and the others to sit around.

The burly young man went out and brought back a few hidden pieces of meat, which he roasted over the fire.

These were premium cuts of meat, very exquisite ingredients, and the Tu Man Tribe's roasting technique was extremely skilled, resulting in meat that looked very appealing on the outside.

However, the Tu Man Tribe did not have seasonings or similar items.

Ye Chen exchanged a large amount of seasonings, cumin, chili, and other items from the Points Mall (Points Mall).

Sprinkled on the roasted meat, a rich aroma immediately filled the air.

Ice Seal teased, "Brother Ye Chen, why do you carry these things with you? Are you a food lover?"

Ye Chen smiled and said nothing.

The people of the Tu Man Tribe, smelling the intoxicating aroma, immediately stared wide-eyed.

Several children instantly drooled.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Want to try it?"

One child, unable to resist the temptation, was about to tear off a piece of meat to taste, but was scolded by Hatu, "Badar, don't be rude, the guests haven't eaten yet."

The scolded child immediately stopped and returned to his mother's side.

"Don't be shy, everyone, try it."

After Ye Chen and the others first tore off a piece, the people of the Tu Man Tribe then began to taste it.

A moment later, the Tu Man Tribe members' eyes glowed with immense excitement, eating bite after bite, unable to stop.

Seeing everyone eating with such enthusiasm, Ye Chen exchanged another pile of seasonings from the Points Mall (Points Mall) and said to Hatu, "Chief Hatu, please keep all these seasonings. When you roast meat in the future, adding these seasonings will make it much more delicious."

For Ye Chen and the others, roasted meat without seasonings was truly difficult to eat.

Hatu looked at the tall pile of seasonings Ye Chen had placed on the ground and quickly said, "Honored guest, these things are too valuable, we cannot accept them."

These things were very common in the eyes of Ye Chen and the others, but to Hatu, they were immense treasures! After all, with their civilization and environment, they couldn't produce these things. In their eyes, these things were miracles.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Take them. Consider it payment for the roasted meat we ate. These things are very common to us."

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Hatu, with an excited heart, accepted them and immediately sent someone to get a bone box to store the seasonings.

Ye Chen had exchanged a large quantity of items this time; each type of seasoning had over a thousand bottles, enough for them to use for several years.

At the same time, Ye Chen also believed that with the wisdom of the Tu Man Tribe, they would gradually figure out some methods.

However, what Ye Chen didn't know was that because of these items, many women from surrounding tribes would break their heads trying to marry into this tribe. Many years later, Hatu's tribe would grow from its current forty members to a large tribe of thousands.

Hatu suddenly got up and left. After a while, Hatu returned to Ye Chen with an item in his hand and respectfully presented it.

"Lord Ye Chen, I have nothing to repay you with. This is a strange item I found on the summit of the snow mountain not long ago. I saw it shining brightly in the dark, so I took it and offer it to you, Lord Ye Chen."

Ye Chen looked at the bead in Hatu's hand, and its information appeared before his eyes.

[frost god snow pearl: Contains five percent of the origin of water]

Ye Chen's pupils constricted. This item actually contained the origin of water!

Xiao Fan and the others were stunned, especially Ice Seal, whose eyes almost popped out of his head—his pet was water-attributed!

Kong Xi glanced at it and said nothing; she was not interested in this item.

Ye Chen was only slightly surprised, not to the point of losing composure. After putting the item away, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Thank you. This item is much more valuable than what I gave you. How about this, I'll give you some more things."

After speaking, Ye Chen exchanged fifty blankets, fifty pillows, fifty more blankets, plus fifty down jackets and boots from the Points Mall (Points Mall).

Ye Chen had just observed that the people inside the yurts were all barefoot, and those who went outside only had animal skins wrapped around their feet, which showed they couldn't even solve the problem of warmth.

Seeing these things, the people of the Tu Man Tribe were slightly stunned.

"This, what is this?"

"These are blankets. You can cover yourselves with them when you sleep. They are very warm."

A child spread out a blanket and covered himself with it, and a wave of warmth immediately enveloped his entire body.

"Father, it's so comfortable, so warm!"

The child lay in the blanket, unwilling to come out.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "These are shoes. Try them on. In the future, you won't have to worry about your feet freezing when you go out. Oh, I almost forgot!"

Ye Chen then exchanged five hundred pairs of socks.

Hatu put on the socks and boots with a puzzled expression. They had been working outside just now, and although their feet were wrapped in animal skins, they were still painfully cold.

After putting on the socks and shoes, the temperature of his feet quickly rose, and he immediately felt incredibly comfortable.

Hatu was excited. With these boots, he would no longer have to worry about his feet freezing when he went out in the future.

"Lord Ye Chen, I, I Hatu don't know what to say. Thank you! Thank you!" Hatu was so excited he was about to kneel.

"No, no, no, don't do that." Ye Chen quickly stopped him.

Ice Seal and the others also felt a bit emotional. These things were very common to them, but to Hatu and his people, they were extremely precious and important.

The few of them also couldn't bear to watch any longer and took out some items.

They didn't have many useful things for Hatu and his people, only some simple weapons and tools that could make hunting easier for them.

"Sirs, I, we truly don't know what to say. Thank you, thank you so much! We, we truly don't know how to thank you!" Hatu stood up, and the others followed suit, performing the most noble ceremony of the Tu Man Tribe to Ye Chen and the others.

It was evident that they were extremely excited and full of gratitude towards Ye Chen and his companions.

Ice Seal and the others were also happy inside, after all, giving a rose leaves a lingering scent on the hand; such an act, no matter when, always brings great joy and satisfaction!

Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Mr. Hatu, what do your tribesmen usually do at home?"

The others looked at each other, unsure how to answer.
