In the past few days, Sima Pianpian has been observing from one settlement to another every day, and she has found that these primitive groups do not seem to know each other's location clearly, let alone have any form of communication.

Their living range is very small, and they will not continue to move forward when they are far away from a certain distance when hunting, and this is the case for several times, and it just so happens that outside those ranges are the places where the spiritual signs are stored, Sima Pianpian also suspected that there are unknown creatures in those places, and she has the courage to approach, but no matter how she detects, she can't find clues, she is very curious, how do these creatures hide, can they still shield her spiritual power?

Maybe it's because every autumn when the monster disaster comes, they are forced to go through a primitive group reorganization, and their language is universal, so Sima Pianpian can understand it.

It's just that Yuanzhu didn't have the slightest reaction to their pure spiritual body, and even if she named them privately, it still didn't work, this situation was similar to the babies and toddlers in the valley, it seemed that in order to achieve the Cheng dù that could be spiritually bound, other conditions still needed to be met, thinking that the primitive people in the valley had experienced her strict education for several months after all, Sima Pianpian secretly guessed that it might have something to do with the fact that their brains were developed and the spiritual body was assimilated by Yuanzhu......

……

At this moment, Sima Pianpian is hiding near the largest primitive group, observing the daily life of these primitive people with spiritual power, compared to the primitive groups of other small branches, Sima Pianpian is naturally more interested in this, she wants to see how primitive people arrange manpower when the population is large.

The settlement sits in front of a small rocky hill on the north bank of the river, and there is a huge cave on the rocky hill, deep enough to accommodate more than 200 people. However, it is clear that these primitive people do not currently live in caves, but have established their homes in the forest before the cave.

They creatively built dwellings on a space in the forest, which was made of thick branches, large animal skeletons inserted into the ground to support a space, and covered with huge leaves on top. In late spring and early summer, these simple shacks are very suitable for human habitation, cool and windy.

It can also be seen from these independent residences that they already have a certain sense of family.

Their leader was an older woman, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, but with a straight waist and a strong spirit, whom the people below called her "Whoa", while the others did not have such special names. Sima Pianpian nodded, they already knew the purpose of the name, but now it seemed that only the highest status could have a name, and the source of this name should be the sound of the big river next to them. Sure enough, in a community with a large population, some minds are a little more active than other small communities.

The female leader looked like a man with a lot of leadership experience, and she would divide the able-bodied men into five teams, two hunting teams, two gathering teams, and one team to guard the perimeter of the settlement, each with a captain.

She would work with the people left behind to make zuò weapons, most of which they now used were sharp animal bones, and then sticks and stones, indicating that they already had the consciousness to use various tools. Sima Pianpian thought to herself, wondering if they had used these tools to deal with humanoid monsters before.

She will also deal with all kinds of contradictions, the more people there are, the more problems, not that primitive people will not quarrel if they are simple, some will do it directly. Maybe it's because of the large number of people, this primitive group of people is not as simple as the primitive people in the valley, there are obvious personality differences between people, as soon as the character appears, the contradictions between getting along with each other over time will inevitably emerge, regardless of good and evil, purely due to nature, just as children will cry and fight and fight.

These things were handled smoothly, everyone had a respectful and loving attitude towards her, and accepted her mediation without objection, and she tried her best to be fair and just. Sima Pianpian thought that the reason why this primitive group could grow to its current scale should be related to the wisdom of this female leader.

In the evening, several teams came back one after another. They brought in a lot of prey, and even a few large carnivores that resembled black bears, and although a few people could be seen slightly injured, it was enough to prove their hunting ability.

The harvest of the gathering team was also quite abundant, and the variety of wild fruits and grass seeds was obviously much more abundant than that of the primitive people of the valley. This may be due to the fertile and abundant resources of the land near the riverbank, but there is one large fruit that grows on a tree six or seven meters high, and the primitive people of the valley were only able to collect it after she taught them to climb the tree, and these primitive people are now able to collect so much, she will never believe that the fruit with such a fresh appearance is picked by them on the ground.

And what made Sima Pianpian most excited was that one of the captains of the hunting team handed a white stone to the female leader, who took the stone and licked it, nodded, and then put the stone away. When it was time for everyone to eat, she took out a few of these stones, gave them to the primitives to lick in turn, and then she collected them after the meal.

As soon as he saw their movements, Sima Pianpian realized something, and then started the system scan-search, "rock salt", that's right! Once confirmed, Sima Pianpian was even more pleasantly surprised, her 500 grams of salt had been eaten in the past few months, she had the intention to look for the sea in the future, but now she was actually lucky to patronize, and she directly encountered rock salt, there is a great possibility that there is a salt mine nearby, with salt, primitive people will have more strength when they work, with salt, the large number of recipes collected in her source bead database are finally useful!

So, the next day, she quietly followed the hunting party, intending to look for the salt mines.

These primitive people did not have any dazzling advanced technology in hunting, but only used the basic hunting techniques of ambush, encirclement, rapid reaction, and attacking the weak points of the prey, so that the prey could be killed simply, which was determined by the accumulated experience of Guò and the correct command of the captain.

And why Wanhuo and their skills are so immature is because the team and leader they have been in charge of hunting have just been killed by monsters, and they can only be improvised, and other people can make do with the hunting team, and the hunting skills are all started by groping, and it is already a miracle that they did not starve to death during that time.

Sima Pianpian also asked them how they used to spend the cold season, and they replied that when the monster appeared, many, many animals would die in the forest, and as long as they escaped the time when the monster attacked the settlement, they could go to the forest to pick up those animals in the future, and pick up a lot of hidden in the hole, saving to eat for a winter. So Sima Pianpian understood, the misfortune and fortune depended, and at the same time, there were more and more questions about humanoid monsters, and it seemed that this autumn would be very lively......

She left the hunting party and began to search nearby, it was at the foot of a mountain, but the vegetation was very lush, she burrowed through the bushes, until at last she broke aside a bush, and saw a bare rock being licked by several animals somewhere, and then she smiled happily, and she found it!

She looked around, it was very closed, probably only animals with a keen sense of smell could find it, the rocks were scattered in a clearing of several square meters, and those rocks and mountain walls were hung with some white salt frost, and some places were licked by animals to reveal crystal-like ore, Sima Pianpian was sure that there were salt mines in this mountain. As for how those primitive people found it, she could only guess that maybe some animals had taken a few rocks outside, or maybe it was for other reasons, but the primitive people definitely didn't find it here, otherwise the rock salt would not have to be one by one, how could it be so treasured to hide?

Sima Pianpian smiled, in the future, this mountain will be hers!
