Chapter 652: Chapter 44: Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Novel

Seeing the other person’s face with an expression of "I have you under control."

Jiang Lai held down the old chief.

"Ten jars of water, one bushel of rice, what makes you think we would agree?"

"Just because I know what’s in this sea water, you want salt, right?

Think only you know this? We’ve known for a long time! Now everyone’s busy extracting water, being willing to trade with you at this time already counts as generous on my part.

If you don’t agree, don’t even think about getting salt.

There are plenty of people who want it now, if you’re unwilling, there are many others who are."

The old chief heard this and frowned.

Then looked at Jiang Lai, asking with his eyes, how did these people know that salt can be extracted from seawater?

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Lai sighed.

"Oh, so it’s like this... Didn’t expect you all already know.

Then, do you know how to extract salt from the sea water?"

The Eagle Clan chief was clearly taken aback, but he reacted quickly.

"Of course I know."

"Oh, since that’s the case, then forget it, I originally wanted to teach you how to extract salt powder, but since you all know, this trade really cannot be done."

"You don’t want salt anymore?!"

The Eagle Clan chief was a bit unsettled.

Jiang Lai shook her head regretfully.

"I’m someone who really can’t stand being taken advantage of, if you’re blatantly tricking me, how can I trade with you?"

After speaking, Jiang Lai waved her hand.

"Let’s go, let’s ask the next tribe chief, maybe they don’t know how to sun-dry salt."

Salt, these beastmen living by the sea had known about it from the beginning.

But back then, they called this crystalline substance bitter granules.

Because these substances would appear on the coastal rocks and vegetation with the retreat of the sea water and the scorching weather.

They naturally had tasted it before, particularly bitter, one bite and their tongues would go numb, hardly different from poison.

So they didn’t bother with these things anymore.

Until one day someone suddenly came, saying these were good things, and that as long as the method is mastered, it can be extracted to make food delicious salt, and also these salts are beneficial to the body, once eaten they could never leave it again.

Of course, the extraction method wouldn’t be easily told to you by others.

So when the Eagle Clan chief saw Jiang Lai was about to leave, he immediately stepped up to block her.

"Let’s discuss further, how do you know I wouldn’t agree if you don’t even discuss?"

"What’s there to discuss, Chief, I hope you understand one thing, right now the least valuable thing is sea water.

The most valuable is food. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

You’re offering me the least valuable in exchange for the most valuable, and still dare to ask for exorbitant prices, what is there for me to discuss with someone like you?"

Jiang Lai spoke without any politeness.

When had the Eagle Clan chief ever been reproached like this, his face immediately turned cold.

"Then go ask around, I want to see who dares to trade with you without my consent!"

Jiang Lai nodded, stretched out her hand, and Ayuan beside her directly handed the crossbow to her.

Before the other party could react to what that thing was, the crossbow was already aimed at his head.

"I actually wanted to talk with you peacefully, but if you’re going to do this, then there’s no need for me to waste time with you."

The weighty crossbow pressed firmly on his head.

At this moment, the surrounding Eagle Clan members immediately surrounded them, but Jiang Lai’s people were not pushovers, and they all raised their crossbows, aiming at their heads.

"Guess what I used to defeat the Tiger Clan?

This thing, at two hundred meters away, can shoot through the Tiger Clan chief’s head.

Guess if I shoot while aiming at your head now, if it can pin you against the wall?"

After speaking, Jiang Lai directly raised the crossbow and shot an arrow above the Eagle Clan chief’s head.

The next second, the crossbow directly pierced through the wooden board and flew away, followed by a sharp and piercing scream.

Soon, an Eagle Clan member hurriedly walked in from outside, approached the chief with a solemn face, whispered in his ear.

"The warrior ambushing on the roof just now... was shot dead."

In that instant, the Eagle Clan chief only felt a chill down his spine.

Even through the roof’s wooden boards, it could kill the warrior he had arranged outside.

One could imagine how terrifying the lethality of this weapon could be.

Jiang Lai’s expression did not change, only her tone turned heavy.

"My weapon is specifically for dealing with flying things, no matter how high you fly, there’ll be times when you get tired.

So don’t think of yourself as the aerial overlord and come up with any crooked thoughts, if you dare to move again, I’ll make your head explode."

In this Beast World, contracts and promises are bullshit.

Without the constraints of law and morality, in the end, the only thing that works is force.

This time, Jiang Lai’s trade had been eyed by the Eagle Clan for the rich resources their convoy brought, even if the trade succeeded, they didn’t plan to let Jiang Lai return safely.

Everything was planned, even the ambush outside was arranged perfectly, but unfortunately, they underestimated the fighting power of this New Tribe, a simple crossbow was enough to shake them into immobility.

"I’m not an unreasonable person either, carve out a piece of your territory for my use.

Of course, I won’t use it for free, I can teach you how to sun-dry salt, and I can also provide you with food.

Your days will be much better than now.

Tired of eating fish and shrimp every day, right?"

Jiang Lai used both soft and hard tactics.

This move works on beastmen every time.

Of course, the prerequisite for this move to be effective is that she can always shoot down those disobedient birds in front of her and roast them for food.

Just like that, the Eagle Clan chief reluctantly signed a treaty with Jiang Lai.

Actually, the treaty is useless, but Jiang Lai is someone who understands etiquette, all formalities have to be done, otherwise they would spread the word saying she’s brutal.

With the treaty signed, Jiang Lai is straightforward, she directly tossed the crossbow back to Ayuan, then clapped her hands.

A female beastman directly walked in with a box, then opened the box in front of the Eagle Clan chief.

Inside was a handful of seeds.

"These are sea rice seeds, can grow by the sea, isn’t food what your Eagle Clan lacks the most?

To celebrate our cooperation, I’m giving you these seeds.

We will have frequent exchanges, I’ll send people to teach you how to farm."

"Really?"

Grain grown by the sea?

What kind of grain can grow under seawater soaking?

"I’ll be using your land in the future, what good does it do me to deceive you?

No time to waste, let’s start working now, I’ve brought all the equipment, don’t worry, I won’t occupy much space."

After speaking, Jiang Lai clapped her hands to signal.

"Okay, everyone, let’s get to work!"

At this time, the beastmen waiting outside began to unload the boxes.

The boxes that the Eagle Clan had their eyes on were finally opened, yet inside were all sorts of bizarre and miscellaneous tools, not food at all.

Seeing this, the Eagle Clan chief was furious and resentful.

"You never intended to negotiate a trade!"

"Why not? Aren’t we negotiating just fine now?"
