Capítulo 453: Chapter 262 Submit or Perish_2
“I can’t tell you.”
Shi Chan shook his head. Clearly, he was afraid that revealing the tribe’s location would bring disaster to it.
“Alright, you don’t have to say if you don’t want to.”
Jiang Xuan didn’t press further and, after a brief conversation, let Shi Chan go back.
“You’re really letting go?”
Shi Chan was full of disbelief. From his perspective, the value of the big knife coin was so high that having forged it, wouldn’t the Vine Tribe kill him?
“Of course, but you must leave these two fake big knife coins as your punishnt.”
Isn’t this punishnt too light?
Shi Chan still found it unbelievable, but Jiang Xuan had already ordered soone to take him out.
Shi Chan was taken out of the trading area and ushered outside the vine wall.
It wasn’t until he was alone in the forest that Shi Chan snapped back to reality, realizing he was indeed set free.
The Vine Tribe is this easygoing?
Shi Chan felt it was all very surreal, but since he was out, he didn’t want to be caught again, so he imdiately began to flee.
On the other side, as soon as Shi Chan left, Jiang Xuan imdiately instructed Feng Chao, “Have the Thorny Vine follow him and find the location of the Giant Claw Tribe.”
“Yes!”
Feng Chao imdiately arranged for the Thorny Vine people to track Shi Chan, hoping to locate the Giant Claw Tribe through him.
After Feng Chao left, Dong Kui couldn’t help but ask, “Leader, didn’t you say you were going to trade with the Giant Claw Tribe?”
Jiang Xuan replied, “Sothing like gold is better held in our own hands. Trading is ultimately unreliable and cos at a considerable cost.”
“Then why did you just…?”
“If I didn’t do this, how would Shi Chan willingly return to his tribe?”
Dong Kui was montarily speechless. Jiang Xuan had seed so sincere just now that she truly believed he intended to do business with the other party.
Compared to Jiang Xuan, she was still far behind.
Jiang Xuan said to Dong Kui, “You are the shopkeeper of the trading zone, and there are many people you will encounter and many things you will encounter in the future. Rember, you must never reveal your true thoughts in front of outsiders.”
“For what others say, you must verify it yourself rather than choose to believe it directly. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffer greatly from being overly trusting.”
Dong Kui nodded, committing these words to heart.
…
“What’s your na?”
Jiang Xuan warmly placed his arm around the young man’s shoulder as if they were old friends.
“My na is Shi Chan.”
The young man shifted uncomfortably but dared not struggle too much.
Jiang Xuan praised, “Shi Chan, what a good na. You must be very skilled at digging, right?”
The young man replied honestly, “Everyone in the Giant Claw Tribe is very good at digging.”
“Giant Claw Tribe?” Jiang Xuan glanced at the totem pattern on the young man’s face, which resembled a strange beast with disproportionately large front claws and a small body. If not looking closely, one might think their totem pattern was just two giant claws.
The Giant Claw Beast was a species extrely adept at burrowing. The Vine Tribe had once captured one.
Back then, when Jiang Xuan was leading the Vine Tribe warriors to search for copper ore, they couldn’t find it until they discovered so outside a Giant Claw Beast’s lair, ultimately obtaining copper ore and slting bronze.
Now, the tribe that worshipped the Giant Claw Beast as their Totem God had brought gold to Jiang Xuan.
By this logic, the Giant Claw Beast truly was a blessing for the Vine Tribe.
“Where is your Giant Claw Tribe located?”
“Our Giant Claw Tribe…”
Shi Chan instinctively wanted to reveal it but sensed sothing was off, so he stopped.
“Where is it? Why did you stop?” Jiang Xuan’s expression remained unchanged.
“I can’t tell you.”
Shi Chan shook his head again, clearly fearful that revealing the tribe’s location would bring disaster to it.
“Alright, you don’t have to say if you don’t want to.”
Jiang Xuan didn’t press further, and after a brief chat, he let Shi Chan go back.
