Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2876: Chapter 39: When Abakai Apocalypse Meets Lici

...

Under the leadership of the Bronze Tribe, the main force majestically flew along the Tianhe to the habitat world of the Bronze Tribe—the Bronze Plateau.

This is a large world with rising mountain ranges and a complex, harsh environment.

This place is very unsuitable for farming. In fact, the Barbaric Giant Tribe is not skilled at farming either. Their ancestors have lived by hunting for generations, supplemented by animal husbandry to make up for the lack of prey.

Besides that, the Bronze Plateau also produces a metal known to the Immortal Alliance as [Spirit Bronze]. The giant ancestors used crude methods to refine Spirit Bronze, crafting weapons like spears, which allowed the Barbaric Giant Tribe to become the apex of the food chain in the Fierce Beast-infested world of the Bronze Plateau.

Later, when the tribe submitted to the Immortal Alliance, they accepted the cultural domestication of the Immortal Alliance. From then on, the tribe’s wisdom opened further, and with the technical support of the Immortal Alliance, they began large-scale extraction of Spirit Bronze resources.

According to the grading standards for Artifact Refining Materials by the Immortal Alliance, Spirit Bronze is classified as a precious [Fifth Grade Material], suitable as the core material for Purple Abode Treasures, as auxiliary material for Divine Spiritual Treasures, and even as precious core building material, for Void Ferry shell materials, etc.

Therefore, refining materials like Spirit Bronze have a huge demand within the Immortal Alliance.

A large amount of Spirit Bronze continually entered the Immortal Alliance as tribute or trade items, becoming sustenance for the Immortal Alliance.

The large Void Ferry of the Bronze Tribe, [Bronze Hall], was crafted by the ancestors who accumulated a vast amount of Spirit Bronze and gritted their teeth to hire Immortal Alliance Artifact Refiners to refine this legacy treasure.

Even though the Immortal Alliance’s charges were quite steep, the quality of the refined Bronze Hall was very good, and they even taught the methods to maintain the Bronze Hall to the Bronze Tribe, which counted as a conscientious merchant’s action.

Now, the Bronze Hall is already one hundred and twenty thousand years old, yet it can still be used, becoming one of the symbols and prides of the Bronze Tribe.

”Brother Stone Hammer, I’m not bragging to you, but our Bronze Tribe’s Spirit Bronze is extremely popular. Although much of it is taken as tribute, we’ve secretly hoarded quite a bit. We can sell it to you cheaply in exchange for your spoils of war and materials.”

After drinking and boasting along the way, the Bronze Barbarian King has already become sworn brothers with Stone Hammer Barbarian King; the progress was indeed rapid, which aligns well with the giant conduct.

When they get along, the speed of warming feelings and relations is as swift as a rocket. Hence, during the drinking and boasting sessions, they also got to know Stone Hammer Barbarian King.

”Although Spirit Bronze is good merchandise, our visit to the Giant Tribe Alliance is not for buying bulk goods, but to sell materials so that the ships can travel light,” Stone Hammer Barbarian King Gangba Plate said with a shake of his head. ”Besides, we obtained some Spirit Bronze as spoils when attacking the Demonic Clan’s logistics base.”

Clearly, this was one of the war material tributes collected by the Demonic Clan within the Giant Alliance.

”What about Spirit Stones? Do you have advanced Spirit Stones? We can exchange a large amount of food,” Wang Licui asked.

”Advanced Spirit Stones are good, but we are short of Spirit Stones,” the Bronze Barbarian King said, headache-ridden. ”We don’t have many Spirit Stones to spare for exchanging food, at most just a few dozen Immortal Spirit Stones.”

Giants have huge appetites, with an immense demand for food, especially some high-ranked giants, who often require large amounts of high-grade meat and grain. The army rations from the Demonic Clan logistics base were of high quality, which made the Bronze Barbarian King quite envious.

”Father,” spoke Agula Bronze, ”haven’t we saved several thousand pounds of 7th Rank Immortal Spirit Copper and over two hundred pounds of Eighth Grade Sacred Spirit Copper? These materials are expensive and take up little space, suitable for trading bulk food.”

It is known that any large ore veins primarily produce one type of ore, but due to their internal structure, often have some associated ores. If particularly fortunate, the core of an ore vein may even produce higher-grade ores.

In this large bronze ore vein core, Immortal Spirit Copper and Sacred Spirit Copper occasionally arise.

Of course, these materials are extremely rare, and they were purchased by the Immortal Alliance initially, and now by the Tian Frost Queen.

Upon hearing this, the Bronze Barbarian King nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood, almost strangling his son.

Our ancestors painstakingly accumulated Immortal Spirit Copper and Sacred Spirit Copper, thinking to save a bit more and perhaps find someone to help forge a Sacred Artifact within the tribe.

The Sacred Artifacts used by the Barbaric Giant Tribe differ from those of the Human race, generally requiring more materials.

Though the Barbaric Giant Tribe is straightforward by nature, the Bronze Barbarian King, as a tribal chief, has deeper thoughts than a common giant. His original plan was to sell a large quantity of Spirit Bronze, in exchange for food!

Such rare and precious Immortal Spirit Copper and Sacred Spirit Copper, even if exchanged, should be for equivalent-grade items to avoid losses; using them for food seems too rash.

However, Stone Hammer Barbarian King and Wang Licui’s eyes lit up brightly.

Immortal Spirit Copper and Sacred Spirit Copper are good things indeed; the former is the main material for refining Immortal Artifacts, while the latter is the main material for crafting Sacred Artifacts, both valuable rare goods. Transporting them back to East Xia God Continent would surely fetch high grades.

Moreover, such high-grade materials have high unit value and small volume, they wouldn’t take up much space on return trips, making them ideal.
