I saw that on the wall of the cave that Lin Luo was looking at, there was a yellow-brown translucent crystalline ore exposed.

Looking at the piece of ore, Lin Luo pulled out a sharp-toothed dagger from his waist with a surprised face, gently knocked a small piece from it, put it to his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked it.

Salty!

Although the ore was a little bitter to lick, it also made Lin Luo's taste buds clearly feel the saltiness.

Salt?

Feeling this salty taste, Lin Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Don't eat it, it's poisonous!"

At this moment, Chief Deer shouted anxiously, and it suddenly exploded in Lin Luo's ears.

"Poisonous?"

Hearing Chief Deer's shout, Lin Luo was stunned for a moment.

"This is poisonous salt, you can't eat it!"

Chief Deer was full of anxiety, and walked over to Lin Luo and said.

"Is this really salt?"

Hearing this, the joy on Lin Luo's face was even worse.

Just now, when he tasted the saltiness, he was not very sure that this ore was a salt mine.

But at this moment, after hearing Chief Deer's words, Lin Luo finally confirmed it.

"It's poison salt!"

Seeing that Lin Luo was still happy, Chief Deer said anxiously: "If you eat it, not only will your whole body turn purple, but you will also have diarrhea until you die." ”

"Chief Deer, you already knew there was a salt mine here?"

Seeing that the deer chief actually knew so much about the results after eating these salt mines, Lin Luo suddenly asked the deer chief with a glare.

"Well, I've known it for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Chief Deer nodded slightly.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

After receiving an affirmative answer from Chief Deer, Lin Luo's voice suddenly raised a few points, and there was an angry expression on his face.

You know, this is not a big river basin, and you can go to the giant turtle tribe to participate in the trade fair every year during the growing season and exchange it for salt with other tribes.

When they migrated here last year, they were not very familiar with the area, so they asked the indigenous deer chieftain to lead a trading party in exchange for salt.

As a result, in the end, it was only a small amount of salt, which could not meet the needs of the entire tribal alliance at all.

So, for more than a year, most of the food within the tribal alliance was roasted meat, and the broth was rarely cooked.

Because the salt used by the tribes is a large lump of salt, only when cooking the broth will the salt cube be put into the pot to dissolve some of it.

Salt is not used when eating barbecue, and the tribe relies on drinking the blood of some animals to obtain salt.

It can be said that because of the shortage of salt, the tribal alliance has not had a good time for more than a year.

But Lin Luo never expected that Chief Deer knew about the salt mine in front of him, but he had never mentioned it before.

This made Lin Luo suddenly feel an urge to beat people!

"It's poisonous salt, you can't eat it. ”

Looking at Lin Luo's angry appearance, Chief Deer continued to repeat helplessly.

After speaking, he continued: "Moreover, I mentioned this matter when I was discussing with several witches in the council hall to find salt, and we witches already knew about it. ”

“......”

Chief Deer's words made Lin Luo suddenly not know what to say.

Previously, due to the lack of salt, the tribal alliance did hold a special meeting to discuss the matter of looking for salt around.

It's just that Lin Luo happened to be in the Menggu Valley because he was out to explore at that time, so he didn't participate in the discussion.

But he didn't expect that in the end, it turned out that everyone else knew about it, and he didn't know it alone.

"I know these salt mines are poisonous, but as long as the toxic substances are removed after refining, the salt in them can be eaten. ”

In the end, Lin Luo could only explain to Chief Deer in a depressed manner.

The deer chieftain referred to these salt ores as poisoned salts, and Lin Luo could understand this, because these salt ores were not pure, far from reaching the standard of human consumption.

Among them, toxic impurities such as nitrate, phosphorus and potassium commonly contained in salt mines, if they are accidentally eaten, the whole body will turn purple and diarrhea will not stop.

However, after several refining processes, the toxic substances can be removed and the salt can be extracted that is safe for human consumption.

"Lin, Lin Luo, do you know how to get rid of salt poison?"

Lin Luo's explanation instantly made Chief Deer's eyes widen in shock.

You know, for the salt mine in front of him, the deer chief has a deep fear.

Because, when this salt mine was first discovered, some of the stronger tribes around it fought a very fierce battle to occupy the salt mine.

Eventually, a powerful tribe called the Yakuza won the war, successfully acquired the salt mine, and relocated the entire tribe here.

But later, after eating a large amount of the poisonous salt in the salt mines, the number of the tribe of the Yao tribe decreased rapidly, and even many totem warriors died tragically due to diarrhea.

Soon, the number of the Ya tribe was less than 10% of the original number, and it was finally wiped out by several smaller tribes around it.

It can be said that it took less than a month from the occupation of the salt mine by the Yao tribe to the extinction of the entire tribe.

And with the demise of the Yao tribe, this salt mine has also changed from an incense pot that everyone fought for to an ominous place that everyone avoided.

It also makes many tribes in this area know that not all salt is edible, and some poisonous salt will kill people.

It was precisely because of this that several witches and chieftains never mentioned this salt mine, so that Lin Luo only knew about this salt mine through this chance until now.

"Yes, I know how to make edible salt. ”

Lin Luo nodded and said, while secretly glad in his heart that he had temporarily decided to participate in the road repair team of Chief Deer.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of this big "gold mine" in front of you!

"That's great!"

Hearing Lin Luo's answer, Chief Deer immediately shouted excitedly.

The deer chieftain knew very well the value of the salt mine, otherwise there would not have been several tribes fighting for it in the first place.

If Lin Luo can really remove the toxins in the salt mine, then this salt mine can make the strength of the tribal alliance reach a new level!

"Tomorrow we will stop building roads, and we will mine some salt ore from this salt mine and bring it back, and I will refine it. ”

Looking at Chief Deer with an excited face, Lin Luo said with a smile.

Compared with the salt mine, road construction is naturally a trivial matter, so Lin Luo directly chose to put the matter of road construction on hold for the time being.

"Let's just mine now!"

Obviously, Chief Deer was even more anxious than Lin Luo, and said directly: "In this way, you can directly set off early tomorrow morning to transport the salt ore back to Menggu." ”

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded lightly.

Anyway, there is nothing going on now, and the deer chief is in a state of excitement again, and it is impossible to rest first.

Seeing that Lin Luo nodded in agreement, Chief Deer immediately turned around and beckoned everyone and walked towards the depths of the salt mine cave.

Since this salt mine has been mined by the Cave tribe before, there are many exposed yellow-brown crystalline salt ores in the depths of the cave.

Therefore, the team did not spend much effort to mine a lot of large pieces of salt ore.

......

Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was unspoken.

Early in the morning, Chief Deer got up early, commanded the team to bring the salt ore mined yesterday, and couldn't wait to set off to return to the League Valley.
