Chapter 12: Thoughts in the Night, Salt Lake
The wolf king looked at Su Yu as if he was hesitating.
After a few minutes of confrontation, the wolf king bypassed the fire and ran towards the herbivores.
It still gave up attacking these people, not to mention the fear of flames, and it was quite afraid of the weapons in their hands.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, since they had given up attacking themselves, there was a high probability that they would not come back. Provided, of course, that the fire is still burning.
The battle between the wolves and the army of herbivores continued for a long time, and the moon had not stopped until it had reached the top of the head. The wolves left behind more than twenty corpses, which retreated with several times the losses of the gains.
Su Yu stared at the wolf king, this was the king of this race, and this victory could allow their race to survive this cold winter.
It was already the middle of the night, and the nerves, which had been tense at a high level, had suddenly relaxed, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. I couldn't wait to lie down and sleep immediately, but Su Yu couldn't sleep.
"You go to sleep first, and I'll keep vigil." Su Yu said to the soldiers.
The warriors of the tribe quickly fell asleep when they heard this, and the flames of the fire gradually became smaller, and Su Yu left only one fire, and the others were left to be extinguished.
Unconsciously, Su Yu has been in this world for a while, and he has gradually adapted to the environment and life here.
After experiencing this crisis, Su Yu realized that he was still too weak in this world of the jungle, his life was too fragile, and Su Yu had to continue to become stronger.
There were too few people in the tribe, and Su Yu felt the desire for the population for the first time, if there were more people, there would be more labor and talents, and he would not be forced to make trade-offs when arranging tasks because of overstretched manpower.
Since the population is not enough, then go and grab the population. Su Yu can't afford to wait for natural growth, and it is the fastest to grab talents. As for who to attack, Su Yu thought of the previous Wolf Mountain tribe, who made them enemies.
And their tribe was definitely not far from the old camp, after all, Su Yun and they had also encountered the people of the Wolf Mountain tribe.
Su Yun usually doesn't take people to hunt too far away from the tribal camp, in addition to the reason for taking Su Qing with him, there are other fierce beasts in the forest.
The area where Su Yun often moves is considered the territory of the tribe, where even fierce beasts will not easily pass, and other fierce beasts also have territories, and Su Yun does not dare to go over. In this way, they do not disturb each other, and whoever the prey runs to is considered to be theirs.
The people of the Wolf Mountain tribe went to their own hunting area to hunt, and they still wanted to bully the prey with more people and less to rob the prey, so they naturally wanted to teach a good lesson.
When the salt is found, these old accounts will be turned over and settled.
The moon moved to the west, and halfway through, Su Yu woke up Su Xun and asked him to take over the vigil, while he closed his sleepy eyes.
……
Su Yu was shaken awake as the animals began to move. Su Yu rubbed his eyes that couldn't be opened, shook his head vigorously, and forcibly shook the sleepiness away.
The wind on the grassland is very strong, and the wind is blowing autumn and is blowing it away. The coolness was brought to his face by the wind, and Su Yu asked everyone to bring their good things and start to hurry.
The journey to find salt was boring and torturous, and after following them up a hill, Su Yu saw a salt lake under the mountain in the distance.
It is dazzling white, and the turquoise surface of the lake shines brightly in the sun.
"We've found it!" Su Yu panted and bent over, looking at the salt lake below.
"Congratulations, you've discovered a natural salt lake, and you can name it. Earn 200 Civilization Points, and settle near the Salt Lake to earn 100 Civilization Points per day. ”
There are many animals licking the salt crystals on the shore of the lake, and there are also many birds circling on the surface of the lake, jumping into the lake from time to time to pick up a fish.
The salt lake is large and beautiful, and the warriors of the tribe stop to look at the scenery. From a distance, the salt lake looks like a mirror.
"Or call it Spiegel Lake." Su Yu looked at this lake, such natural beauty must be enough to be comparable to a 5A-level scenic spot.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then we'll dig for salt, we've been out for almost three days." Su Yu watched them see that they were very fascinated, and couldn't help but remind him, although he was also fascinated by it just now, but he didn't admit it.
Su Yu led them to find a tree, and a group of people rested under the tree.
Taking out the clay pot in the back basket and taking a sip of water, Su Yu felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
Rested for a while, at this time the sun was almost overhead. Su Yu got up and walked to the shore of the lake.
When I approached the salt lake and saw the salt piles everywhere, everyone's eyes lit up. The salt was like gold, and they wanted to take it all back.
"Dig up this dry lump of salt."
Su Yu scooped up a piece of salt, put it in the back basket, and then another piece, spread them at the bottom of the back basket, and compacted the salt block.
"Pack as many as you can." Su Yu made the best use of the space in the back basket, even the clay pot that drank the water was used to hold salt.
Everyone carried salt on their backs, food hung directly from their waists, and they used all the space they could free up for salt, except for the clay pots that filled the water.
"Okay, okay, let's come back next time, let's bring so much this time." Su Yu saw that they still wanted to bring salt to their bodies, and quickly stopped them, with these salts, the weight on their bodies was exaggerated enough, and they would be unbearable if they brought it again.
There was not much fresh water left from the tribes, and they had to sweat as little as possible to get to a place where there was a water source.
On the way they came, they did not encounter a lake, only a small stream, the stream did not have much water, and after replenishing fresh water at that time, they did not expect to encounter a place with water for two consecutive days.
Carrying dozens of catties of salt on his back, Su Yu was a little struggling, but he could still bear it. Now his physical fitness is much better than before, if it was before, it is estimated that he will be tired and unable to walk after a few steps.
Now his skin is a healthy wheat color, and the muscles in his arms are clearly defined.
The route back is not the winding route you had when you first arrived, but the closest route to avoid as much danger as possible.
At night, bonfires are lit. Wolves howled in the distance tonight, and they seemed to be celebrating, and last night's victory had paid them well.
Today, the tribesmen are also very happy, last night's thrill and today's surprise make them happy and unforgettable, I believe this will be an unforgettable journey in their lives.
A campfire is a light in the grassland, but it's also just a light.
The night was getting darker and the moonlight was hazy.
When the sun rose again, Su Yu and his party were already on the road.
……
"After replenishing fresh water, you can go home after a day's journey, everyone hurry up."
After filling a jar of water, the mouth of the jar was sealed with animal skins, and then Su Yu urged them.
The creek was only a day's walk from the tribe, and now I was rehydrated, rested for a while, and had better energy.
The warriors were also very excited when they heard that they were about to return home, they had been away from home for too long, and they missed the tribe very much, not only home, but also their relatives.
The pace of the rush has quickened, and there is no stopping along the way.
Soon, they saw from a distance that in the distance there was a straight line with a large river at the end of the straight line.
"Woo!" The warriors were excited, shouted happily, and ran towards the river.
Su Yu watched from afar, and a smile appeared on his face as he walked.
