Banished to Another World

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 19- WHAT EXACTLY IS THE STRUCTURE OF A PRIMITIVE MAN’S BRAIN CIRCUITS?

“Are you really a Yanshan tribesman?”

Yan Mo was very cunning, for future considerations, he purposely did not respond to this question. Rather he replied with,  “Why is it that when other people pass through Yanshan, they did not discover the plentiful amounts of salt there? Only us, Yanshan tribesmen, could find it?”

Yuan Zhan’s mouth slightly opened. He looked like he didn’t believe him, but also looked like he was somewhat expecting something. Immediately, he closed in his lips and with a fierce expression replied, “This isn’t something that you can just say and mess around with.”

“Do you think that I’m using my own life to joke around with?”

“Joke around?” It seems like this wasn’t the first time hearing the juvenile use these words.

Yan Mo waved his hand. “Native dialect, you don’t need to mind it.”

“Native dialect?”

Yan Mo froze for 3 seconds, raised his head and smiled in an affected smirk.
“Our Yanshan tribemen’s dialect… I’m saying the words my tribe uses is more rich. Because our Yanshan tribesmen are in contact with more people than yours, our livelihood is also better than yours.”

Yuan Zhan didn’t know if he accepted this explanation, but he didn’t continue asking.

Yan Mo’s face carried a bit of gratefulness and honestly spoke to the youth. “Regardless, you really did save me, I want to repay you. But I also don’t dare to guarantee that  we’ll find a new salt area, but I know the approximate location of where to look for it. The most important point is that if we pass through a salt land, I will definitely discover it.”

“….. If it is true, I will inform the chief. As long as you really do find a new salt land, and it has no owner, you won’t need to wait to become a Rank 3 warrior to get rid of your slave status.”

“I can find it, but the area won’t necessarily be close to the tribe. As far as I know, the salt mountain that Yanshan tribe is on is the closest salt area to Yuan Ji Tribe.”  Yan Mo blurted out. “So even if we find a new salt land, we might also not necessarily be able to smoothly bring back the salt.”

“Able to move it back or not, that is the problem of the warriors. I wouldn’t needlessly worry that much. Currently the most important is, can you actually find a new salt land that doesn’t have an owner? Which direction? How long is the walk?”

Yan Mo felt that the youth did not understand things properly and was forced to speak more clearly again. “I only know the general idea of the direction. I overheard the tribe priest mention it in the past. In short, it won’t be close. If it was close, than our tribesmen would have gone to claim the area earlier.”

Yuan Zhan lightly tapped his fingers on his knee, face looking thoughtful. “Your tribe was forcefully captured by the Zhi Tribe, where did you guys escape to? Is it at the new salt land you’re talking about?”

Yan Mo in his heart smiled, face wearing a confused expression,  “I don’t know, but this is indeed a possibility. So if the tribe wants to receive a salt land with no owner, we better move fast. I also don’t desire to see my current tribe and my original tribe clash. If you guys hurry over first and take the land, my tribesmen will definitely not dare to try to fight you over it.”

Yuan Zhan’s eyebrows creased and got up from where he was sitting. “I’ll go look for the chief, as soon as possible for this situation…”

“Wait!” Yan Mo pulled on the youth, “I hope you will not tell the chief and priest that I can find the salt land, because I don’t have any assurance, and if I can’t find it, they will definitely kill me!”
