Yun Yao did not notice the movement at the entrance of the cave.
But Mo Jue is aware, looking towards the entrance of the cave, see wing wind has left, inner breath a relief.
Yuyao didn't know about these things. Thinking of something, her eyes sparkled as she looked at him and smiled at him, "I'll take you to a good place!"
Mo Jue raised his eyebrows, although he doesn't know where she will take him, he also roughly guesses that she has found something good.
A faint smile, and I also consciously followed.
Not long after, the two arrived at the edge of the salt lake along the cave passage.
"What is this?"
Yuyao pointed to the bright blue salt lake in front of her excitedly.
At first, Mo Jue didn't quite grasp what was happening, but upon a closer look, he realized that the lake was somewhat different.
"Is that salt on the surface?"
He bent down and squatted by the lake, picked up a salt stone, and watched the white crystalline shine on it. He almost exclaimed in surprise, but fortunately, he succeeded in controlling his vocal cords.
He looked at Yuyao in disbelief, unable to understand why such a precious salt would be so easily found.
You see, the Black Snake Tribe has to offer thousands of pounds worth of hunt every year just to buy salt, as well as various fur products and other things.
Yuyao smiled and explained, "Yes, this is a salt lake. We just need to transport this saline water back and filter the lake water. After a long time, we won't be short of salt anymore!"
Seeing Mo Jue's astonishment, she pointed to the salt stones by the lake and said, "And there are these salt stones as well; if we pick them up and boil them, we can also produce quite a bit of salt."
Mo Jue listened with some confusion. He wasn't very knowledgeable about these knowledge related to hunting.
But he knew that these things could produce salt.
That means the Black Snake Tribe will never be short of salt again, and even be able to sell it.
"Yaoer, are you an apostle of the beast god?"
Mo Jue suddenly stood up, staring at her and said.
This nonsensical remark left Yuyao rather confused. Why had it suddenly turned to the apostle of the beast god?
"Why do you say that?"
She looked blankly at Mo Jue and asked puzzled.
"You can recognize herbs, practice medicine, weave baskets, and even create many practical things. Now you've even found invaluable salt."
Mo Jue looked at her seriously and said.
If it were not for the blessings of the beast god, receiving the guidance of the beast god, it would be hard to explain how she understands these things.
Yuyao understood it now, looking at him with a mixture of tears and laughter. The real situation certainly couldn't be revealed.
He was silent for a moment before following his words, saying, "I don't know how I knew these things. It's just that when I saw those things, I knew how to use them and what they were for. Maybe the beast god is taking care of me."
Mo Jue had an "As expected" expression, but he didn't say anything either.
Then, his gaze fell on the brimming lake of saline water, and he looked a bit perplexed, not knowing how to transport it back.
Yuyao's suggestion was to first notify the tribe to inform them, and then have the tribe's beasts send people to retrieve them.
But some salt stones can be brought back first.
Mo Jue thought the same.
The two searched nearby for some vines and made two baskets, filled with two baskets of salt stones.
Yuyao's original backpack was lost in the cliff fall, and she didn't bother to look for it now.
The two left quickly.
As they were coming down from the cliff, they need to find a way out now.
Moreover, it was already dark, and it was difficult to find the way. So they didn't leave and spent the night in the cave.
Yuyao made a fire in the cave and sat around it.
The fish that Mo Jue caught from the waterfall and cleaned was roasted on the fire.
Salt was added, and the fish was roasted to a golden color with crispy outside and tender inside. The two of them ate heartily.
At first, Mo Jue did not like to eat fish. He thought the bones were too many and it was uncomfortable to eat.
But after Yuyao's treatment and teaching him how to eat without getting poked in the mouth, he wasn't as repulsed by fish anymore.
The two of them ate until they were full and spent the night in the cave.
They left before dawn the next day.
They also found the way out quickly, but the way out was quite hidden and it took them a long time to find.
Approximately when the sun rose, the two of them returned to the Black Snake Tribe.
At this time, the tribe's beasts had not gone out to hunt, but they had gathered together.
Seeing Mo Jue returning to the tribe with a small female early in the morning, the tribe's beasts were also stunned.
"Jue, where did you go yesterday? We waited for a long time but didn't see you come back. Later it was too late so we had to come back first."
A tall and slender beast approached and said with a smile.
He had a flowing red hair, slender peach-colored eyes, a delicate and beautiful face with a melancholic demeanor. He was dressed in a snake-patterned leather cloak, making him look quite handsome.
This kind of appearance was ambiguous in terms of gender.
He stopped right in front of Mo Jue and Yuyao, with a smile on his face.
The person who came is Nanzé, a five-level beastman, and he has a very good relationship with Mo Jue in the tribe.
Yuyao didn't know the other party, but she could tell that the beastman had a good relationship with Mo Jue.
Mo Jue gave Nanzé a glance and said indifferently, "I had something to attend to last night and it delayed me."
Thinking of something, he said again: "Nanzé, you guys don't go on the hunt today. There will be something for you to do later."
Nanzé looked at Mo Jue in surprise and raised an eyebrow: "What is more important than the hunt?"
"We've found a salt lake that can produce salt. I'll need you to bring it back, but first, I need to talk to the chief about this matter."
Mo Jue looked at him and threw a salt stone into his backpack from the basket.
Ignoring Nanzé's shocked expression, he continued to speak by himself:
"I'll explain the details later. You go ahead and have your people cut down trees, choosing the sturdy ones. Hollow them out, leaving the bottom intact, to make large wooden barrels that can hold water. Make as many as you can, and remember to work quickly."
"Oh, by the way, you can also let the female members of the tribe make some snake skin bags."
He wanted Nanzé to find more people to weave baskets, which could be used to carry salt stones.
But thinking that Nanzé wouldn't know how to weave baskets either, he decided not to say anything.
He didn't care if Nanzé understood or not, and led Yuyao away.
Nanzé stood there in a daze with a salt stone in his arms, digesting what Mo Jue had said to him for a long time after that.
Bowing his head to look at the stone in his hand, which was covered with white grains, he tasted it and found it salty. His eyes lit up instantly.
Knowing that Mo Jue's words were true, he carefully placed the precious salt stone in his bosom.
"Haha, we have salt now, and we won't have to exchange it for game or fur anymore."
Nanzé was so excited that he wanted to let out a long, loud howl to the sky, but he held back because he was afraid someone might hear.
Nanzé excitedly smiled, and then quickly gathered the tribe's people to work together.
Yuyao returned to the cave, while Mo Jue went directly to find the chief to talk about the salt lake.
In the stone house, the place where the chief lives.
The chief was naturally very shocked to hear that Mo Jue had discovered a salt lake.
Then, he looked at the salt stone Mo Jue brought back, and only then did he believe what Mo Jue had said.
Believing him, he also became excited.
The importance of salt to the tribe is almost self-evident.
"Is that salt lake not discovered by the beasts from other tribes?"
While happy, the chief couldn't help but worry.
Such a vast salt lake is an incredibly huge fortune for any tribe.
If the news gets out, it might trigger a war among the tribes.
Although the Black Snake Tribe is not weak, even strong, it is not the strongest.
Wing Tiger Tribe, and the Wild Lion Tribe... their strength is not inferior to the Black Snake Tribe.
And there is the Eagle Tribe...
There are almost no snakes that don't fear eagles.
Thinking about it, the chief's face became serious again.
Mo Jue naturally knew the seriousness of the situation. After careful thought, he said, "That salt lake is inside at the bottom of the cliff. There's only a small passage to get in, and the location is extremely concealed; no one should have discovered it."
Without waiting for the chief to breathe easily, Mo Jue added, "However, Wingwind had also been to the bottom of the cliff, but did not enter the cave inside. Instead, he stayed there for a while and then left. It's likely that he did not discover the salt lake inside."
