Chapter 811 Zhou Yi’s Idea
Chapter 811 Zhou Yi’s Idea
Ling Feng was at a loss for words.
He actually understood what was going on. The Chasing Dragon Clan had been isolated on the island for too long, with no contact with the outside world. Their daily lives revolved around food, and they had lost the drive for civilizational progress.
In their eyes, aside from food, there was scarcely anything else that they found useful.
But Ling Feng knew that there must be plenty of treasures on the island; they just didn’t know how to use them!
So, after a wry smile, Ling Feng said, "It’s alright. If we can’t trade, we can still be friends. Elder, if there is anything you need, please feel free to ask!"
The Elder uttered an "Oh" and then asked, "I’m quite curious about that thing you rode on. How does it travel across the Endless Sea? Aren’t you afraid of the giant beasts in the sea?"
"That’s our boat. It’s very sturdy and we’re not afraid of giant beasts. Besides, we have ways to kill them!" Ling Feng explained.
The Elder was stunned and his eyes widened, "You can actually kill the giant beasts in the sea?"
"Yeah, is that very difficult?" Ling Feng asked.
Logically, there were many people with high cultivation levels on the island. It wasn’t possible that no one dared venture into the sea to hunt fish, right?
But then the Elder said, "Of course it’s difficult. We can’t breathe underwater and have no way to fight them. So every time it’s Miss Dragon God who helps us, and that’s how we get some food from the sea."
Only then did Ling Feng understand where the problem lay. On his side, it was thanks to An Xue’s ability to breathe underwater that they could easily deal with creatures like White Jiao and Giant Shark.
Clearly, the Chasing Dragon Clan didn’t possess that ability, which was why they thought themselves to be strong.
With a smile, Ling Feng said, "If you like seafood, I can provide it to you later on. Not just that, but also other living supplies and metal tools—I can give them to you!"
Expecting the Elder to be overjoyed, Ling Feng was surprised when the Elder shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but we do not need it. The Chasing Dragon Clan always abides by the will of Dragon God and does not engage in the act of accepting charity without effort!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
At that moment, Zhou Yi said, "Elder, since you don’t want to take things for free, you can trade for them!"
"What can we trade with?" the Elder asked.
He had no idea what his tribe had to trade!
Zhou Yi smiled, "Your people can work for us!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was shocked. Why hadn’t he thought of that?
Over a thousand people, all above the Dark Energy level, would certainly be an excellent source of labor!
In the Nine Heavens, many jobs had always been a headache for Ling Feng. He didn’t want the girls to have to do the work, and he didn’t have enough time, while outsiders weren’t allowed in. The Chasing Dragon Clan before him could be the perfect helpers.
If they were to start fishing in the Sixth Heaven, they would need sufficient manpower for sorting, cutting, and packaging—all requiring a lot of hands!
Hearing Zhou Yi’s suggestion, the Elder seemed tempted, hesitating before asking, "What can you provide us in exchange?"
Zhou Yi smiled and took out a short dagger from her space ring, "How about a tool like this?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing the bright, shiny blade, the Elder’s eyes lit up.
The Chasing Dragon Clan, stagnant for ten thousand years, still used the most primitive tools, basically on par with the Stone Age. They had never seen pure metal products!
Thus, with a trembling voice, the Elder asked, "This, this is a dagger?"
Ling Feng and the girls were speechless as well, truly unacquainted with the world!
However, no one despised them, but rather felt sympathy for the people on the island; such living conditions were really too primitive!
They hadn’t even seen a knife!
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is a very simple tool. Later on, we can provide you with even more things, such as exquisite food, clothing, and other kinds of tools!"
Bringing a civilization from the Stone Age to modern society in an instant was almost impossible.
So now Zhou Yi’s mind was a bit of a mess, and he didn’t know where to start!
The only thing he could think of was to improve their living environment first.
"The clothes you mentioned, are they like the ones you’re wearing?" the Elder asked.
Except for Ling Feng, everyone was wearing waterproof suits, so Zhou Yi replied, "Similar to this, but more comfortable than what we’re wearing!"
"Is that so? That would be a good thing," he said.
The Elder was clearly tempted.
However, after thinking for a while, he lifted his head and said, "I’m sorry, but I need the approval of Miss Dragon God before I can agree to trade with you; I can’t promise anything right now."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng nodded and said, "That’s okay, I believe she will agree!"
With Ling Yao there, and the red wine, he couldn’t believe Little Yu wouldn’t be moved!
Cooperation was mutually beneficial, and unless Little Yu was stubborn, she would surely agree.
Not knowing when Ling Yao would return, Ling Feng stood up and said, "Elder, we’d like to take a walk around the island, would that be possible?"
"Of course, you are guests allowed on the island by the Dragon God, no problem at all," the Elder nodded.
Ling Feng and Zhou Yi, along with the others, left the wooden house. After they stepped outside, the Elder asked, "Guests, would you like me to send someone to show you the way around?"
"No need, we can just wander around by ourselves," Ling Feng said.
"Alright!"
The Elder nodded his head and didn’t insist further.
The group left the Chasing Dragon Clan’s settlement and then entered the dense jungle on the island.
It was only then that Xun Qianqian, who had been quiet the whole time, and the others started to chatter nonstop.
The girls mainly talked about the amazing Little Yu and the Chasing Dragon Clan on the island.
Although they knew since the opening of the Sixth Heaven that there was a civilization here, seeing it in person still felt very fresh to everyone.
Miao Lanlan even said, "If we filmed the Chasing Dragon Clan’s life and showed it to the outside world, it would certainly cause a sensation!"
"There’s no need for that; there are also some primitive tribes in Africa that have preserved their lifestyle and traditions from a thousand years ago. It’s not really that uncommon!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Those have only been around for how many years? The Chasing Dragon Clan has preserved their culture for tens of thousands of years, not changing at all through such a long period of time, it’s incredible!" Miao Lanlan said.
"If you ask me, it’s probably due to the protection of the Dragon Clan. Whether it’s Little Yu or some other Dragon God, they aren’t willing to interact with other worlds, that’s what led to the current situation!" Zhou Yi said.
No sooner had she finished speaking than they heard Little Yu’s voice from the sky, "It’s not that I don’t want to exchange, I just haven’t found a way to communicate with the outside world!"
"..."
Ling Feng and the others stopped in their tracks, speechless!
No one had expected their conversation to be overheard!
