Chapter Twenty-Six: The Camel Forest
After listening to Qingqing's explanation, Han Shuang probably understood why she gave her cubs a raw wild egg mixed with blood.
There is no salt in the tribe, and the mixture is drunk to supplement the cubs with trace elements such as iron and calcium.
The human body will often suffer from fatigue and dizziness, and calcium deficiency will affect bone development, but I didn't expect orcs to be like this, and even because of the lack of these trace elements, the survival rate of cubs has decreased.
Although the orcs here are not really humans, they also need to absorb trace elements to maintain the balance of their body functions, just like wild animals have to lick the salty soil every once in a while to inject trace elements.
Salt contains a lot of these trace elements, and if you can eat foods with salt every day, there will be no problems such as lack of trace elements.
Thinking about it, Han Shuang suddenly opened his mouth.
She excitedly took Qingqing's hand and said, "Take me to Bai Hewu, before they go out hunting, I have something very important that I need their help with." ”
Seeing Han Shuang's anxious look, Qingqing handed the cub in her arms to her partner, and took her to find Bai.
…
In front of Mo's stone house, more than a hundred male orcs had been gathered at this time, and the evil fire had just receded, so the hunting task for the past two days was still led by him and Wu.
The forest where they went to hunt today is a bit far away, and there is not much prey to hunt in their tribe's hunting area, so if they want to feed the tribe, they can only go farther away.
This time, Bai Hewu was going to take his people to hunt in the camel forest in the west.
As the name suggests, the camel forest is full of rocky mountains in the shape of humps, undulating for hundreds of miles.
The plants there are much smaller than other forests, but the prey inside is very abundant, whether it is tigers, lions, wild sheep and deer, they all like to live in that forest.
The most important thing is that going there to hunt does not pass through the hunting areas of other tribes.
The journey to the camel forest is relatively long, and it takes at least four days to go back and forth when you count the time of hunting.
Bai and Wu picked only thirty people among the more than a hundred male orcs, and when they were about to set off with thirty people, they saw Han Shuang running over in a hurry.
"Han Shuang! What are you doing here? Is there something wrong with running in such a hurry? Bai asked.
"There's something looking for you, and it's a very important thing." After that, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in front of Bai before continuing: "When you go out hunting today, can you help me keep an eye on one thing, to see if there are any rocks or dirt in the forest that wild beasts often gnaw on, this matter is very important, you must pay close attention." ”
After Han Shuang finished speaking seriously, Bai replied with a puzzled expression: "What are you looking for those stones?" The camel forest where we went hunting today is full of rocks like you mentioned, hundreds of miles. ”
"What !?" Han Shuang exclaimed.
"It's the kind of beast that you said about the kind of stone that the beast gnawed, and the camel forest is all over for hundreds of miles." Bai patiently explained to her.
Han Shuang was a little speechless by Bai's words, the salt and stone mines that stretched for hundreds of miles were there, but they couldn't afford to eat them because of the high cost of salt.
Thinking about it, Han Shuang felt a little ridiculous, ridiculous that the backwardness of this era, ridiculous that these orcs were not enterprising, even if one person had the courage to try, the salt would not be fired at a sky-high price.
Looking back, I feel that the mermaid tribe and the rock scorpion tribe are so selfish, and the people of the entire continent can't make salt, and the mermaid tribe and the rock scorpion tribe are definitely no exception.
