Chapter 384: What About White Salt?
"Whew!"
With a screech that tore through the air, a short spear suddenly flew out of the bushes and shot at a sentry warrior.
"Poof!"
Before the warrior could react, the short spear pierced his heart in an instant.
Moreover, the powerful force it carried directly caused the warrior's body to fly upside down several meters away and fall heavily to the ground.
This sudden change shocked everyone in the salt mine.
"Enemy attack!"
The totem warrior reacted first, immediately clenching the weapon in his hand and letting out a loud shout of warning.
"Kill!"
Not far away, a loud cheer rang out.
The next moment, more than a dozen figures burst out of the bushes where they were hiding, and slashed towards the salt mine with weapons in hand.
There is no doubt that there is no suspense in this battle.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
In less than three minutes, this one-sided crushing battle was declared over.
"Chief, a totem warrior has escaped, and I'm going to chase it now. ”
Akabane wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand and said to Chief Peng.
"No need. ”
Hearing this, Chief Peng shook his head and stopped him.
A place as important as the Salt Land, the Tribal Alliance must have taken it very seriously.
Even if all the warriors were killed and prevented from escaping back to report the news, the Horde would know about the attack on the Salt Lands by tomorrow at the latest.
Therefore, Chief Peng didn't care at all, and the tribal alliance knew the news half a day in advance.
Now, he is most concerned about whether there is white salt here.
After the attack just now, the conjecture hidden totem warrior did not appear, and there were really only three totem warriors guarding here.
This couldn't help but make Chief Peng wonder if this was really the salt land of the tribal alliance.
Therefore, after stopping Akabane, Chief Peng couldn't wait to say, "Go, follow me into the cave to search for white salt." ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, Akabane immediately nodded in response.
Then, he followed closely behind Chief Peng and entered the salt mine cave.
After nearly three months of mining, the salt mine is now much larger than before.
Chief Peng led people to rush into the mine and searched several mine roads in a row, but he didn't even see the shadow of white salt.
All I saw was a huge yellow-brown mass of poisonous salt.
This made the expression on Chief Peng's face gradually become gloomy from the previous excitement.
"Is this the salt land of your tribal alliance?"
Soon, Chief Peng walked out of the salt mine cave and shouted at a miner lying on the ground.
In the battle just now, they only killed all the warriors, not the miners who were mining salt in the salt mines.
And these people who were sent to the salt mines to work as miners were all slaves at the lowest level of the tribal alliance.
For the tribal alliance, there is no such loyalty as the real people.
Therefore, feeling the powerful totemic power emanating from Chief Peng, the miner crawled on the ground and trembled all over his body, and immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, yes." ”
"What about white salt, why isn't there white salt in the cave?"
Chief Peng continued to ask even more angrily.
"No, no. ”
The miner shook his head and said, "There is no white salt here, only large chunks of poisonous salt." ”
"Dare to trick me?"
Just now he admitted that this is the salt land of the tribal alliance, but now he shakes his head and says that there is no white salt here.
This made Chief Peng feel like he was being teased when he heard this answer.
Immediately, without saying a word, he immediately stabbed the spear in his hand at the miner.
"Ahh
Suddenly, the miner let out a terrible scream.
After struggling a few times with his body lying on the ground, he soon stopped moving.
"Come!"
Chief Peng then pulled his spear from the corpse and pointed it at another miner next to him.
"Smack!"
Looking at the crimson blood dripping from the tip of the spear onto the ground in front of him, the miner immediately shook his head like a rattle.
He said loudly: "There is really no white salt here, the tribal alliance is all to transport the poisonous salt blocks back to the Menggu Valley, and then refine the white salt from those poisonous salt blocks. ”
Obviously, after facing the tragic death of his companion next to him, he burst out with a strong desire to survive.
"Refining?"
Hearing the miner's answer, Chief Peng frowned and muttered to himself.
Although he did not understand the meaning of the word, he could guess from the miner's answer that it must be a method of turning poisonous salt blocks into white salt.
"Do you know how to refine white salt?"
Immediately, Chief Peng continued to ask the miner.
"I don't know. ”
The miner shook his head.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of his companions, he immediately continued: "In the tribal alliance, only a small number of craftsmen know how to refine white salt. ”
This time, although Chief Peng was not satisfied with the answer he received.
But it didn't kill again like before.
Because, this answer was completely unexpected by him.
If their Peng tribe can master the method of refining poisonous salt blocks into white salt.
It must be kept absolutely secret, and it is impossible for the lowest-ranking slaves to know about it.
But now, they are in a somewhat awkward position at the moment.
Although they laid a salt mine, they did not know how to refine white salt.
For them, then, this salt mine has become a useless thing to discard.
"Chief, what are we going to do now?"
On the side, Akabane asked Chief Peng for instructions.
According to their original idea, after laying down the salt fields of the tribal alliance, a team of totem warriors would be left to guard here.
At the same time, more people were sent to dig up white salt from the salt fields and transport it back to the tribe.
But now, these poisonous salts are of no use to them at all.
Therefore, Akabane's heart also became a little confused, and he didn't know what to do.
Hearing Akabane's inquiry, Chief Peng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You stay here to guard the salt field, and let these slaves all continue to dig for salt."
I'll go back to the tribe first and report the situation here to Wu. ”
It took more than two months to finally find the salt land of the tribal alliance, and he was naturally unwilling to give up like this.
So, let Akabane stay here and continue digging for salt.
If, in the future, they can obtain a method of refining white salt from the tribal alliance, then these poisonous salt blocks can also be turned into edible white salt.
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, Akabane immediately nodded in response.
After that, Chief Peng did not stay on the side of the salt mine for long, and soon disappeared into the sky riding his Peng Bird War Pet.
......
Deep in the forest,
At the top of the canopy of a stout giant tree, Lin Luo stepped on the branches and looked down into the distance ahead.
He whispered to himself: "After more than two months of training, let me take a good look at the success of your efforts today!"
