Chapter 82: Mining Salt Mines

Gather a few leaders here, and also tell everyone about tomorrow's plans.

Teng Snake originally only had two leaders, Shi Yong and Shi Meng, but since the bow and arrow came out, Shi Yu's status has gradually risen, and now he has become the de facto third leader.

For Shi Yu's ability, everyone has never questioned it, in fact, among the rest of the people, the difference in ability is not particularly large, Shi Yu is stained with the light of the bow and arrow, if there is no bow and arrow, it is estimated that he will not be able to take his turn, but this is also his personal ability has been reflected.

As for the Blackwater Tribe, there are only two leaders, or Shui Yun and Shui Er.

In fact, there is no need for everyone to do anything, tomorrow is mainly to put the prisoners of Shi Meng and some of the people of the Black Water into the other two tribes, of course, because it is the first time to get it, Song Xuan thought about it and decided not to bring the people of the Black Water Tribe.

But in order to show that he was not too defensive of them, Song Xuan decided to bring Shui Er with him, so that there would still be at least one of their people in the team.

The two had no objection to Song Xuan's arrangement.

When they first arrived, Song Xuan's arrangement had already taken care of their ideas, and considering the importance of salt, now in their opinion, even if they didn't take them, it was reasonable.

Of course, the premise is naturally that Song Xuan has said everything, as the so-called sincerity is the biggest nirvana, especially in primitive society, everyone is relatively simple-minded, if you are good to me, I will naturally be better to you.

After the arrangement, everyone went back to rest, and Song Xuan also appeared in the team the next day, fortunately, Song Xuan had already participated in a hunt before, so this time it did not arouse the suspicion of others.

Teng Snake's people even spread Song Xuan's last deeds to people in Heishui who had never heard of it, to Song Xuan's surprise, the people in Heishui also behaved in convincing, maybe Uncle Lu's performance was too good.

In order to keep it secret, only a few leaders knew about this operation, and Song Xuan did not let everyone publicize it, although there was a slight change in manpower, most people could understand it, after all, it was Song Xuan who was involved.

Teng Snake's side as the main force of hunting combat is still relatively strong, of course, the main reason is that the bow and arrow are concentrated in the hands of Teng Snake's people.

Sending more people to protect Song Xuan, a divine envoy, is a matter of course in everyone's eyes, and even most people's thoughts are similar to Shi Meng's, and Song Xuan still stays in the tribe to make them feel more at ease.

But this time Song Xuan came out, it was rare that Shi Meng didn't say anything, because he couldn't handle the matter of salt, although he knew how to eat, but he didn't know anything about refining.

Obviously, the salt eaten by the tribe is still very different from this stone, and it must have gone through a lot of conversion.

However, Song Xuan knew in his heart that Shi Meng also looked up to himself, even if he was himself, he could only do a rough refinement, although he knew how to do it, this era was still too lacking in related things, and it was not easy to remove the impurities in it.

However, what made Song Xuan curious was that the taste of the salt of the Wuyu tribe was quite pure, although it still had a faint bitter taste, but it was not particularly large, and it was basically not very good to taste it if it was not put too much, that is, a slightly sensitive person like Song Xuan might be easy to taste, after all, he had eaten a lot of very clean salt before.

The location of the hunt was close to the previous place, and very close to the valley where the rock ore was.

After determining the direction, Shi Meng asked the three teams to carry out their own actions, Shi Yong and Shui Yun each led one, and the two teams were not close, saying that it was to get everyone used to fighting in small teams, of course, the main purpose was not to let everyone notice that something was wrong.

Song Xuan and Shi Meng took their team to go straight to the valley, and on the way, Song Xuan told everyone the destination of the trip, and everyone was still very confused about going to this valley again.

Under normal circumstances, if you have hunted in a place once, you will definitely not go again in a short time, and the main thing is to give the animals in this place a sufficient time to recuperate.

Along the way, Song Xuan and the leader's behavior made everyone realize that something was wrong, this time it turned out to be the same as the impatient journey, completely indifferent to the prey that appeared around them.

Since it was relatively close, everyone had already arrived at Taniguchi in the afternoon.

The two didn't even eat, they directly led the team into the valley, and the remaining hundred meters, although the road was a little winding, but after a minute, they had already walked into the depths of the valley

As soon as he entered, Song Xuan knew that the salt ore in this valley should not have been picked up by Shi Meng, because it was completely different from the surrounding scenery, no matter how steep the cliffs were in other places, there were some vegetation, but since entering this valley, there was not even a single grass in it.

Sure enough, after reaching the depths of the valley, there were a large number of white crystals scattered on the rock surfaces on both sides.

It was only at this time that Song Xuan thought about the purpose of his group, and after hearing that the stones around him might be made of salt, everyone was very curious, and some people also followed the example of Shi Meng and licked on the rocks.

The salty taste is still very strong, but because there are more impurities, the bitterness is also impossible for everyone to swallow. He spit it out a few times, but the joy on his face could not be hidden.

Finally arrived at the destination, the hunger was a little unbearable at this time, Song Xuan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop and eat a full meal first, as for the salt ore, it was enough to act in the afternoon, anyway, it was already here, and the next thing to think about was to find a way to turn it into salt and bring it back.

This time, because of the need to extract salt, Song Xuan asked everyone to carry a lot of pots, and a team of more than a dozen people brought five pots.

Until this time, everyone didn't understand what Song Xuan asked them to do with so many pots, five pots were enough for the entire hunting team to eat.

But soon they knew Song Xuan's intentions.

"Oracle, let's get started!"

After learning that there was salt around them, everyone chose to eat impatiently, and ate two bites of perfunctory things, threw the meat into the pot and boiled it casually and ate it.

Song Xuan didn't seem so calm now, and he was still a little excited in his heart.

It is recommended that everyone can't hold it back, so let everyone start to act, the first thing you need to do is naturally knock down the surrounding rock ore.

Although the rock ore is not so hard, it also depends on who it is compared with, if it is compared with the stone outside, it is naturally easy to break, but what Song Xuan didn't expect was that the ordinary stones in this valley were really hard to find, so everyone looked around, and only found three or two pieces, and one was big, one was very large, and the other was very small, basically unusable.

At this time, let everyone go out to find stones, it seems that everyone can't bear it, so they simply let everyone use the stone axe they carry with them to knock it down.

Although it is a bit extravagant, it does not seem to be very wasteful to use it, at least no one seems to be a little unwilling, and even if the stone axe is used to hit the stone, it is the big one, as long as the stone axe is not broken, it has no effect on future use.

Anyway, it's just half a day, whether it succeeds or not, it will definitely find some more suitable stones in the future, although the Teng Snake tribe is doing well now, but it is not rich enough to take a stone axe and knock stones casually.

Although the stone axe is relatively handy, the disadvantage is that it is a little smaller, and there are not many things that fall from the rock ore cliff.

But this is also because the speed of the user is relatively slow, Song Xuan feels that it is just right, because although it is less smashed, it is more broken, which is a good thing for the next steps.

The refining and mining of rock ore are carried out at the same time, of course, Song Xuan is currently the only one in charge of refining, and the others can't help but lie on the rock wall and knock and lick and lick.

Twenty people were completely distributed in different directions of the valley, and the correct purpose was to let everyone first figure out the general place, and determine where the stones contained salt and whether there were any, and there was no need to continue for the time being.

The result was also in line with Song Xuan's expectations, the open space in this valley was not large, four or five meters wide and twenty meters long.

Only a small part of the stones can taste a relatively strong salty taste after this circle, and these salt ores are not very concentrated, only a belt of four or five meters can be dense.

Although there are other places, they seem to be in a sporadic state, often there is a salty taste on a stone here, but there is only a very light taste next to it, and if you knock it inside, it is not particularly different from a normal stone, but it may be due to the erosion of salt, and it is not as hard as the stone outside.

After tasting this percussion, although the physical exertion is not large, it is a lot of torture for everyone's tongue. At the beginning, his face was full of excitement, but at this time he also became bitter, of course, he was still in a good mood, and this expression was completely caused by the impure salt taste.

Everyone tasted at least a few dozen bites, and Song Xuan didn't let everyone rinse their mouths with more water, and often licked several stones to clean them up with water, which was naturally not very wonderful.
