Chapter 76 Abandoned Female VS Cruel and Evil Snake Husband 17
Yu Yao did not notice any movement at the entrance of the cave.
But Mo Jue noticed it. He looked towards the entrance of the cave and was relieved to see Yi Feng leaving.
Yu Yao didn't know this. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and smiled at him, "I'll take you to a good place!"
Mo Jue raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know where she was taking him, he roughly guessed that she had found something good.
With a faint smile, he followed consciously.
Soon, the two of them followed the cave passage to the salt lake.
"What do you think this is?"
Yu Yao pointed at the azure salt lake in front of her and said excitedly.
Mo Jue didn't react at first, but after a closer look, he found that the lake was a little different.
“Is this salt?”
He bent over and squatted by the lake, picked up a salt stone, looked at the white crystals shining on it, and almost screamed out loud, but he successfully suppressed his vocal cords.
He looked at Yu Yao in disbelief. He couldn't understand why the extremely precious salt could be found so easily.
You know, the Black Snake Tribe has to pay several thousand kilograms of prey, various furs and other things every year just to buy salt.
Yu Yao smiled and explained, "Well, this is a salt lake. We just need to transport the salt water back and filter the lake water, and there will be no shortage of salt for a long time in the future!"
Seeing Mo Jue looking at her in surprise, she pointed to the salt rocks by the lake and said, "There are also these salt rocks. Pick them up and boil them. They can also produce a lot of salt."
Mo Jue was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't quite understand this knowledge that was not related to hunting.
But we know that these things can produce salt.
In other words, the Black Snake Tribe will never be short of salt again, and they can even sell it.
"Yao'er, are you the messenger of the Beast God?"
Mo Jue suddenly stood up, looked at her steadily and said.
These nonsensical words made Yu Yao a little confused. Why did they involve the messenger of the Beast God for no reason?
"Why do you say that?"
She looked at Mo Jue blankly and asked in confusion.
"You can identify herbs, practice medicine, weave baskets, and even make many very practical things. Now you have found the extremely precious salt."
Mo Jue looked at her seriously and said.
If it weren't for the favor and guidance of the Beast God, it would be hard to explain why she understood all this.
Yu Yao finally understood and looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears. The real situation definitely could not be told.
After a moment of silence, she followed his words and said, "I don't know how I know these things, but as soon as I see them, I know how to use them and their uses. Maybe the Beast God is blessing me."
Mo Jue had an expression that said, "As expected," but he didn't say anything.
Then, his eyes fell on the salt water in the lake, and he felt a little troubled as to how to get it back.
Yu Yao’s suggestion was to go back and inform the tribe members first, and then have the tribe leader send orcs from the tribe to get it.
But you can take some salt stone back first.
Mo Jue thought so too.
The two men found some rattan nearby, weaved two baskets, and filled them with salt stones and took them back.
The basket that Yu Yao was carrying had fallen somewhere when she fell off the cliff, and she was too lazy to look for it now.
The two left quickly.
Because he fell off a cliff, if he wants to leave, he has to find a way out.
As it was already dark, it was difficult to find the place, so they decided not to leave and stayed overnight in the cave.
Yu Yao built a fire in the cave and sat around it.
On the fire, the fish that Mo Jue had caught from the pond and cleaned were roasting.
Sprinkle some salt on it and bake it until it turns golden brown. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The two of them enjoy eating it.
Mo Jue didn't like eating fish originally, as he thought it had too many bones and was prickly in the mouth, and not tasty.
But after Yu Yao treated him and taught him how to eat fish without pricking his mouth, he was no longer so averse to eating fish.
After they had their fill, they spent the night in the cave.
He left before dawn the next day.
They quickly found a way out, but it was quite hidden and it took them a long time to find it.
Around sunrise, the two returned to the Black Snake Tribe. At this time, the orcs of the tribe had not yet gone out hunting, but they had already gathered together.
Seeing Mo Jue coming back from outside the tribe with the little female early in the morning, the orcs in the tribe were also stunned.
"Jue, where did you go yesterday? We waited for a long time but you didn't come back, and then it was too late so you came back first."
A tall orc came over and said with a chuckle.
He has flowing red hair, slender peach blossom eyes, a feminine and handsome face, and wears a snakeskin suit with dark red patterns. He is a very good-looking orc.
The kind that is difficult to tell whether it is male or female.
He stopped in front of Mo Jue and Yu Yao, with a smile on his face.
The person who came was Nan Ze, a fifth-level orc, who had a very good relationship with Mo Jue in the tribe.
Yu Yao didn’t know the other person, but she could see that this orc had a good relationship with Mo Jue.
Mo Jue glanced at Nan Ze and said calmly, "Something happened last night, so I was delayed."
He thought of something and said, "Nan Ze, don't go hunting today. I'll need you to do something later."
Nan Ze looked at Mo Jue in surprise, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is more important than hunting?"
"We found a salt lake that can produce salt. You will be needed to transport it back later. However, I need to talk to the tribe leader about this first."
Mo Jue glanced at him and threw a salt stone to him from the backpack.
Ignoring Nan Ze's shocked look, he continued to talk to himself:
"I'll explain the details to you later. First, take your tribesmen to cut down trees. Choose the thicker ones, hollow out the space and leave the bottom. Make them into large wooden barrels that can hold water. Make as many as you can. Remember to be quick."
"By the way, we can also ask the females in the tribe to sew some snakeskin bags."
He originally wanted Nan Ze to find someone to weave some baskets that could be used to transport salt rocks.
But thinking that Nan Ze wouldn't be able to make it up, he simply didn't say it.
He didn't care whether Nan Ze understood or not, and took Yu Yao away.
Nan Ze just stood there stupidly holding a salt stone, and it took him a long time to digest what Mo Jue said to him.
Looking down at the stone covered with white particles in his hand, he put it in his mouth to taste it and found it was salty, and his eyes lit up.
Knowing that what Mo Jue said was true, he stuffed the precious salt stone in his hand into his arms.
"Haha, now that we have salt, we don't have to trade prey and fur anymore."
Nan Ze was so excited that he wanted to roar to the sky, but he was afraid of being heard by others, so he held back.
He smiled excitedly, and quickly gathered the tribesmen to work.
Yu Yao returned to the cave, while Mo Jue went directly to the tribe leader to talk about the salt lake.
Inside the stone house, where the patriarch lives.
The clan leader was naturally very shocked when he heard the news that Mo Jue had discovered the salt lake.
Then, he looked at the salt stone that Mo Jue brought back, and then he believed what he said.
While believing it, I was also excited.
The importance of salt to the tribe is almost self-evident.
"Then the salt lake has not been discovered by the orcs from other tribes, right?"
While the patriarch was happy, he couldn't help but worry.
Such a large salt lake is an invaluable asset to any tribe.
If the news were to leak out, I'm afraid a war would break out among the tribes.
Although the Black Snake Tribe is not weak, and can even be considered strong, it is not the strongest.
The Winged Tiger Tribe, the Mad Lion Tribe...their strength is no less than that of the Black Snake Tribe.
And the Eagle Tribe...
There are almost no snakes that are not afraid of eagles.
Thinking of this, the patriarch's face became serious again.
Mo Jue naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "The salt lake is inside the bottom of the cliff. There is only a very small passage to get in. The location is extremely hidden and no one should have discovered it."
Before the tribe leader could breathe a sigh of relief, Mo Jue continued, "However, Yifeng also went down to the bottom of the cliff, but he did not enter the cave. Instead, he stayed at the bottom of the cliff for a while and then left. He probably did not discover the salt lake inside."
