Fox Jiaojiao and Long Mo came to the cave where the salt was stored.

The food and supplies in the tribe are all stored in the cave, so that in winter, it is convenient for the orcs to get supplies, and the cave is shady, and it is not so easy to spoil in other seasons.

At this time, there were already many orcs gathered in the cave, and compared to yesterday's ecstasy, today everyone was sad and worried.

As soon as the two arrived, they saw the patriarch asking a male:

"Wasn't it okay yesterday? Why is the salt so wet today? ”

The male looked honest and honest, and when he was questioned, he replied anxiously, "Patriarch, I don't know, that's what happened when I came to get salt today...... It really has nothing to do with me. ”

An orc on the side comforted, "Patriarch, he is the most honest man, it is impossible for him to do such a thing." ”

"Yes, patriarch, it should be too damp in the cave, so you can melt all the salt......"

Fox Jiaojiao squeezed in, and saw some supplies on the ground in the cave, and in one of the corners, there were several animal skin bags.

By this time the skin bag had been flattened, and there was a puddle of liquid on the ground, which looked as if salt had melted into the water, and flowed down the gap in the hide to the ground.

It's impossible to save it anymore.

"Jiaojiao, you're here too." Lu Mian'er in the orc crowd saw her and came to her side with a worried expression.

Seeing that it was Lu Mian'er, Fox Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

"Is this all the salt in the tribe?" She asked in a low voice.

Lu Mian'er nodded, "Yes, the only remaining salt in the tribe is here, and it was enough for females to survive the winter, but I didn't expect this to happen." ”

As soon as the words fell, an orc asked:

"Patriarch, what are we going to do next?"

"Without salt, females will get sick!"

"Yes, how can you live without salt in the tribe, the beast god is going to force our tribe to death......"

Their voices were filled with despair and helplessness, and this news was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the tribe.

As soon as these words came out, more and more orcs panicked, as if they had foreseen the day when the tribe would perish.

The surrounding sounds were particularly loud in the cave, constantly reverberating, and the noise made people's ears begin to ache.

The patriarch hurriedly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'll find a way, we have to live when the salt is gone, it's a big deal...... It's a big deal to give the female to drink animal blood, as long as you can carry this winter, you can change it back to salt next year! ”

When the ancestors of the orcs did not get salt, they used animal blood to replenish the salt of their bodies, but the females who drank the blood of the beast were weak and sickly, and almost died after giving birth to cubs, and it was even very likely that they would die of illness if they could not give birth to cubs.

That's why they desperately went to the beach to change salt, which was the only way they knew of to get salt.

The patriarch's words were not convincing.

The beasts were silent for only a moment, and then they began to agitate again.

"Patriarch, females who drink animal blood will also get sick, let alone drink for a winter, which female can stand it!"

"I don't want to drink the blood of the beast to survive......"

"There are still females in the tribe who are pregnant with cubs, and they can't drink the blood of beasts, and they can't give birth to cubs......"

The impatient voice drowned out the patriarch's voice.

"Shut up!" Ying Yuan scolded angrily, walked to the patriarch's side, and glared angrily: "If you quarrel here, can you make a noise?"

As soon as Ying Yuan spoke, all the beasts fell silent and looked at him with fear.

"Patriarch, as soon as winter comes, I will take the supplies to the beach to change salt, so that I can rush back before the winter is over."

Yingyuan turned to look at the patriarch and proposed with a serious expression.

"How can this work, if you travel in winter, you will freeze to death in the forest." The patriarch hurriedly shook his head, and rejected his proposal without thinking about it.

"There's no other way!" Ying Yuan frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want Mian'er to spend the winter by drinking beast blood. ”

When the beasts heard this, they were ashamed.

No one wants their partner to suffer, but they can't think of a better way to protect them.

The patriarch was silent for a moment.

"I'll go too." At this time, Long Mo walked out from behind Fox Jiaojiao.

He himself is used to eating animal blood, but the female is delicate, and he doesn't want her to eat unpleasant animal blood.

Fox Jiaojiao looked at Long Mo worriedly, the winter in the orc world is very cold, very dangerous, almost no orcs will go out in winter, this is undoubtedly looking for death.

Thinking of the warning in the dream, Fox Jiaojiao's heart sank.

I thought I could survive the winter and then find a way, but I didn't expect that this script didn't want her to live longer for a moment.

She has salt, but if she takes it out directly, it will inevitably make everyone suspicious, and maybe she will be regarded as an outlier by everyone, and the xenophobia of orcs is very strong, she doesn't dare to bet.

"Isn't there anything else to replace salt but the blood of the beast?" Hu Jing, who was standing next to Lu Mian'er, couldn't help but mutter.

Hearing this, Fox Jiaojiao had a flash of inspiration,

That's right!

Can be replaced by something else!

If the orcs needed salt, so did the animals, she remembered that animals like lions and tigers would nibble on the soil to replenish salt, and rock sheep would lick salt from the crevices of the cliffs.

Soil, bones, and feces can obtain the minerals needed by the animal's body.

Of course, these methods are not daring to be spoken.

Let them eat dirt and dung, she is afraid of being beaten by the orcs.

"Patriarch, I have another way." Fox Jiaojiao raised her little hand in the crowd of beasts.

For a moment, all the orcs looked back at her.

"Jiaojiao, what can you do, say it quickly." The patriarch looked forward to it, and did not doubt Hu Jiaojiao's words at all, and now in his eyes, Hu Jiaojiao is simply the savior of the tribe.

Long Mo also looked at the fox Jiaojiao with a torch in his eyes.

It seems that since he returned to the tribe, she has begun to become different, with an extra layer of mystery on her body, and everything she says and does makes him feel strange.

"When I was picking fruit before, I saw a wild beast picking fruit from a tree to eat, so I tasted it, and the fruit was also salty, and I wondered if it could be used instead of salt."

This is, of course, a lie.

The salt fruit is a plant on the earth, which is used by tree-climbing animals to replenish salt, and even ancient people often picked it to flavor food.

She hadn't seen it here at all, but most of the plants here were the same as the earth, but there was a slight difference in size and shape, and she didn't believe in this huge forest, and she couldn't find the same salt fruit.

"Really? What does that fruit look like, where do you see it!! ”

The patriarch immediately asked excitedly.

The orcs around also looked at the fox Jiaojiao expectantly.

If this fruit can be found, the crisis of the tribe can be resolved.

"I don't remember very well, it should be small, round, not as big as the usual fruit, and it tastes salty and bitter." Fox Jiaojiao said vaguely.
