Chapter 46: The Discovery of the Salt Well

In the empty cave, the water droplets gathered on the stalactites fell to the ground, and the ethereal ticking sound echoed in the cave.

The brown bear's huge body shrank slightly, and its huge pupils stared at the two people in front of him, but he didn't forget to stick out his fangs and howl fiercely.

Qin Yue pondered for a while, then got up, took out his Mongolian knife and walked towards it without saying a word, his contemptuous eyes met its hateful gaze.

Stopping in front of it, the sharp blade refracted the dazzling white light, and she raised her eyebrows to see its body tremble, struggling to retreat, but its huge body was tightly attached to the rock walls on both sides, and there were no gaps.

As soon as she raised her hand, she saw that the brown bear was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and when she saw that there was no movement, Fang opened her eyelids tremblingly, and the person in front of her looked at it with a smile.

"Do you think you're going to slaughter it?" Qin Yue turned around and asked Liang Jian with a smile.

"Whatever you want. ”

Liang Jian glanced at the brown bear coldly, its body trembled and arced even more, and there was a hint of begging for mercy in its eyes when it looked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue sighed, spread his hands and said, "Forget it, let it fend for itself here!"

She really can't slaughter spiritual animals, and if it's a life-and-death struggle, she can't do anything, but at the moment, brown bears don't pose a threat to them, so why bother!

Liang Jian had no objection to this, his long narrow eyes looked around the cave, and the exit was blocked by a brown bear, and they needed to find another exit. There is a gap in the roof of the cave to let sunlight in, but it is tens of meters high.

This cave is well-connected in all directions, and there should be more than one exit.

The two of them walked all the way along the strange-shaped rock wall, the road was not passable, and the rocks under their feet were uneven, the caves here were connected, the top of the cave was more than ten meters high, and the two of them walked more leisurely than when they ran away before.

The cave was tortuous and deep, the light was getting darker and darker, and there was a white light in the distance ahead, Qin Yue was only not far from the exit.

Unexpectedly, I walked into an even more empty cave, and next to the rock wall was a small pool, and the surface of the water was turbid with a few yellow leaves.

Suddenly seeing the waterhole, Qin Yue suddenly felt unbearably thirsty, and the two of them didn't drink a sip of water all night, and their lips were dry.

"I'm going to fetch water. ”

The water looks very dirty, but she can't dislike it, and the conditions allow her to want a clean water source, but unfortunately the two of them are getting deeper and deeper, and they don't know when they will be able to get out of here.

She lay on the edge of the pool, and saw that the rocks on the side of Tan were covered with pale yellow frost, and the tip of her nose smelled a very faint salty and wet smell, she suddenly rejoiced, and reached into the muddy pool with both hands, holding a handful of water in both hands.

She carefully stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the water in her hand, a familiar bitter and salty taste spread from the tip of her tongue, and she looked back at Liang Jian with glowing eyes.

She wanted to jump for joy, but she found salt, and it was hard to find it in her iron shoes!

Seeing her happy look, Liang Jian guessed something in her heart, strode closer, stretched out her hand to get wet, licked it, and nodded: "It's salt." ”

It is a salt well, hidden deep in a cave, and it is of high purity. This pool is full of salt water, and the pool is surrounded by yellow crystals, which are formed by the solidification and crystallization of salt water.

Qin Yue took a Mongolian knife and gently scraped a layer, and what fell in the palm of his hand was a layer of crystals that looked like sand and stone, which was unfiltered salt and had a bitter taste.

The half bag of salt that she had exchanged from the Xiong tribe before had also not been filtered, and she was afraid that the quantity would drop sharply after filtering, so she could only barely eat those coarse and bitter salt grains.

Now that she has discovered the salt well, she misses the fine salt that used to be white, and misses the salty fragrance without bitterness.

Rushing out of the house, they don't have the tools to filter.

After thinking about it, Qin Yue tore off a piece of cloth from her dress, spread it on the side of Tan, and carefully scraped the layer of yellow crystals attached to the rocks on the shore.

She didn't stop until it was full of small hills.

"Take the salt back and filter it, so you don't have to eat the coarse salt that knocks your teeth again. She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and smiled.

Liang Jian stretched out his hand and took the Mongolian knife in her hand, stared at her with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I'll come." ”

Qin Yue hesitantly glanced at the wound that had oozed blood before, and was about to speak, but he heard him, "The wound is on the shoulder, not on the hand." ”

Seeing that he quickly scraped down layers of yellow crystals, much faster than hers, she didn't say anything more.

Looking at the cave again, the center of the cave is a salt well against the rock wall, and there is a cave entrance on the side, and the cave is deep and I don't know where it leads.

But her gut told her that it was definitely not an exit.

She couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and dispelled a little surprise at the discovery of the salt well, the huge brown bear blocked the exit, and this place had entered a dead end, did she want to starve to death in the cave?

She tilted her head and turned her eyes to the towering top, where the white light poured in, seemingly hopeful, but more like a cage, and they couldn't fly off the wall, so they couldn't get out.

She squatted on the edge of the salt well and looked at Liang Jian's slender fingers, supported her cheeks with both hands, and said quietly, "Can we still find the exit?"

Liang Jian paused, looked up at her, and lowered his head again, "Look for it first." ”

I really can't do it, so I'd better go back to the original place and find a way.

Qin Yue sighed, and when he was done, he knotted the corners of the cloth and wrapped the salt crystals inside firmly.

Liang Jian took her by the big hand, and walked towards the deep cave with no direction, his eyes were bright in the dark, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the footsteps of the two could be heard.

Walking forward without hope, and sure enough, at the end, there was a thick, damp rock wall, and there was no road ahead.

The two had to resign themselves to their fate, she couldn't help but glance at Liang Jian with a calm face beside her, and saw that he was not in a hurry at all, and felt inexplicably relieved.

When it reappeared in front of the brown bear, it was already dying with its head down, and the huge bear body was extremely embarrassed, apparently struggling for a long time.

Hearing the footsteps, the brown bear raised its huge head, and the fierce beast pupils were exhausted, and when they saw the two of them, the beast pupils lit up and chirped at them a few times.

It's not as fierce as before, Qin Yue looked at it and smiled.

As if sensing her ridicule, the brown bear glared at her weakly, and when he saw the cold eyes of the people around her, his head shrank back.

Qin Yue looked amused and approached it, "Let's discuss, let's get you out, how about you stop embarrassing us?"

The brown bear heard her voice and looked up at her in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

She looked at Liang Jian helplessly, "It seems that it can't fully understand human speech!"

Liang Jian looked at her speechlessly, frowned, and said, "Why bother talking nonsense with this beast, just slaughter it directly, and you can go out." ”

He didn't know that there was no other exit from this cave, but now that he had walked around and couldn't find a way out, he naturally wanted to use the simplest solution.

"Makes sense. Qin Yue groaned for a while and nodded.

As soon as the two of them said a word, the brown bear next to them looked blankly, as if he felt that his life was threatened, his body trembled, and his begging eyes fell on Qin Yue, how could he have the appearance of being half a minute ago.
