309: Chapter 309 I only want 90% of what they excavated!

Shimane Masao arrived at the Dachao Tribe after several days of trekking. After presenting dried meat and being introduced, he met the chief of the Dachao Tribe, Oasa Yaka.

This Oasa Yaka was 1.6 meters tall, which was considered a giant among the Wa people.

From his forehead to the crown of his head, there was no hair.

If the hair on the forehead is too long, it will obstruct one's vision during hunting.

Since there were no good tools for shaving, not only Oasa Yaka but everyone in his tribe used their hands to pluck out the hair from their foreheads and the tops of their heads.

The process of plucking hair often left them battered and bleeding; it was a very bloody sight.

If it were the people of Great Qin, they would surely have invented a tool like the Razor.

However, the people of the Dachao Tribe not only failed to invent the Razor, but they even made manual plucking a tribal law.

Anyone who did not manually pluck the hair from their forehead and the crown of their head was considered a coward, would be mocked by the entire tribe, and would lose their priority right to a spouse.

During the hair-plucking process, those who could remain expressionless were more likely to win the favor of the tribe's women. You wouldn't even need to initiate a night climb; plenty of women would proactively climb into your bed at night!

Because the Dachao Tribe was long accustomed to bloodshed, they were also very brutal toward their enemies.

Things that others saw as cruel elicited no reaction from them at all.

"The gods wish to requisition your Dachao Port. This is your honor. Name your price."

"What do you want in exchange for leasing Dachao Port?"

Shimane Masao had a smug look on his face.

In his view, the Dachao Tribe should have proactively handed over Dachao Port.

"Gods?"

Oasa Yaka frowned and said, "Are you referring to those people who came from the sea?"

A fleet so massive had arrived from the sea, and over the past few days, news of it had already spread throughout the Dachao Tribe's sphere of influence.

The Shimane Tribe, to which Shimane Masao belonged, was also subordinate to the Dachao Tribe. However, hearing Shimane Masao's current tone, how could Oasa Yaka not know that the other party had already defected to these visitors from the sea?

A look of displeasure clearly appeared on his face.

Without the Shimane Tribe's tribute, the Dachao Tribe would lose a significant amount of profit.

These people had even reached their hands toward Dachao Port, a strategic location for the Dachao Tribe.

This made Oasa Yaka increasingly annoyed.

The more the other party's power grew, the greater the impact on the Dachao Tribe.

The more tribes that defected to the other side, the smaller the Dachao Tribe's power would become, and the fewer benefits they would receive.

"Chief."

Several people dressed as hunters entered Oasa Yaka's residence.

These were precisely the people who had seen the Qin Army mining silver in the Dasen Mountains.

They had heard many tribal discussions about the visitors from the sea on their way back to the Dachao Tribe.

By inquiring about the appearance of these visitors from the sea, they were certain that the people they had seen in the Dasen Mountains were indeed those same visitors.

"We discovered those visitors from the sea excavating shiny, silvery metal chunks in the Dasen Mountains; they looked very valuable."

"Oh!"

A greedy light flickered in Oasa Yaka's eyes.

Something these people came from so far away to dig up must be extremely precious.

An idea formed in Oasa Yaka's mind.

"Then I want those shiny, silvery metal chunks they are digging up."

"I don't want much—just ninety percent of what they excavate!"
