Calling a few leaders together also tells everyone about tomorrow's plan.
Soaring Snake originally only had two leaders, Shi Yong and Shi Meng, but since the advent of the bow and arrow, Shi Yu's status has gradually risen, and now he has become the de facto third leader.
No one has ever doubted Shi Yu's ability. In fact, among the remaining people, the difference in ability is not particularly big. Shi Yu has been blessed with bows and arrows. Without bows and arrows, he probably wouldn't have been able to get his turn. , but this also reflects his personal ability.
As for the Blackwater Tribe, there are only two leaders, Shui Yun and Shui Er.
In fact, there is no need for everyone to do anything. Tomorrow, the main task is to place the prisoners led by Shi Meng and some people from Heishui into the other two tribes. Of course, since it is the first time to do it, Song Xuan thought about it and decided to do it for the first time. Decided not to take anyone from the Blackwater Tribe with them either.
But in order to show that he was not too guarded against 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 of them had no objections to Song Xuan's arrangement.
When they first arrived, Song Xuan's arrangements had already been very considerate of their ideas. Considering the importance of Yanba, now in their opinion, it would make sense even without them.
Of course, the premise is that Song Xuan has already told everything. As the saying goes, sincerity is the greatest nirvana. This is especially true in primitive societies. Everyone has relatively simple minds. If you treat me well, I will naturally It will also be better for you.
After the arrangements were made, everyone went back to rest. Song Xuan also appeared in the team the next day. Fortunately, Song Xuan had already participated in a hunt before, so this time he did not arouse other people's suspicion.
Teng She's people even spread Song Xuan's last deeds to the people in Heishui who had never heard of it. To Song Xuan's surprise, the people in Heishui also acted convinced. Maybe it was Lu. The uncle's performance is really great.
In order to keep it secret, only a few leaders knew about this operation. Song Xuan did not let everyone publicize it. Although the manpower changed slightly, most people could understand it. After all, Song Xuan was involved.
As the main force for hunting, Teng She's combat effectiveness is relatively strong. Of course, the main reason is that bows and arrows are concentrated in the hands of Teng She's people.
It was a matter of course for everyone to send more people to protect the divine envoy Song Xuan. Even most people had similar thoughts to Shi Meng. It would be more reassuring for them to have Song Xuan stay in the tribe.
But this time when Song Xuan came out, Shi Meng rarely said anything, because he couldn't handle the salt matter. Although he knew how to eat it, he knew nothing about refining it.
The salt eaten by the tribe is obviously very different from this stone, and a lot of transformation must have gone through.
However, Song Xuan knew in his heart that Shi Meng was looking down upon himself. Even he could only make a rough refinement. Although he knew how to do it, there was still a lack of related things in this era. He wanted to remove the impurities and not easy.
But what makes Song Xuan curious is that the taste of the Wuyu Tribe's salt is quite pure. Although it still has a light bitterness, it is not particularly strong. It is basically impossible to taste it if you don't put it in much. , that is, people who are more sensitive like Song Xuan may easily taste it. After all, they have eaten a lot of very clean salt in the past.
The location of this hunting was close to the previous place, and very close to the valley where the rock ore was located.
After determining the direction, Shi Meng asked the three teams to carry out their own operations. Shi Yong and Shui Yun each led one. The two teams were not close to each other. They said they wanted everyone to get used to fighting in small teams. Of course, the main purpose was still I don't want anyone to notice anything is wrong.
Song Xuan and Shi Meng led their group straight to the valley. On the way, Song Xuan told everyone the destination of their trip. Everyone was still very worried about going to this valley again. Confused.
Under normal circumstances, if you hunt in a place once, you will definitely not go there again in a short period of time. The main thing is to give the animals in this place sufficient time to recuperate.
The behavior of Song Xuan and the leader along the way made everyone realize that something was wrong. This time, they seemed to be rushing on the road impatiently, not caring about the prey appearing around them.
Since it was relatively close, everyone had already arrived at the valley entrance in the afternoon.
The two of them didn't even eat. They led the team directly into the valley. Although the road was a bit winding for more than 100 meters, they reached the depths of the valley in a minute.
As soon as he entered Song Xuan, he knew that the salt ore in this valley was probably not picked up by Shi Meng by chance, because it was completely different from the surrounding scenery. In other places, no matter how steep the cliffs were, there was some vegetation, but since entering After arriving in this valley, not even a blade of grass can be seen in it.
Sure enough, after reaching the depths of the valley, a large number of white crystals were scattered on the rock surfaces on both sides.
Only then did Song Xuan reveal the purpose of his team. After hearing that the rocks around him might be made of salt, everyone felt very curious. Some people also imitated Shi Meng's example and lay on the ground. A lick on the rock.
The salty taste is still very strong, but because there are many impurities, the bitter taste is also difficult for everyone to swallow. After licking it, they spit it out several times, but the joy on their faces could not be hidden.
We finally arrived at our destination, and our hunger could no longer be tolerated. Song Xuan waved his hand to everyone to stop and have a full meal. As for the salt ore, we would just move on in the afternoon. Anyway, we were already here. What we need to think about next. Just find a way to turn it into salt and take it back.
This time, because salt needed to be extracted, Song Xuan asked everyone to carry a lot of pots. A team of more than a dozen people brought five pots.
Until now, no one understood why Song Xuan asked them to bring so many pots. Five pots were enough to feed the entire hunting team.
But soon they knew Song Xuan's intention.
"Angel, let's begin!"
After learning that there was salt all around, everyone chose to eat eagerly. They just took a few bites and threw the meat into the pot, cooked it casually and ate it. Fortunately, it was all cooked with dried meat, so it would not cause stomach upset. It's just a little chewy.
Song Xuan didn't seem so calm now, and he was still somewhat excited.
It was suggested that everyone could no longer hold back, so they started to take action. The first thing they needed to do was to knock down the surrounding rock ore.
Although the rock ore is not that hard, it depends on who you compare it to. If compared with the stones outside, it will naturally be easily broken. But what Song Xuan didn't expect was that ordinary stones in this valley are really hard to find. Everyone searched around, but only found three or two pieces, and one was big, one was very big, and the other was very small, so they were basically useless.
It seems that no one can bear it when everyone is asked to go out to find stones at this time, so they simply let everyone knock them down with the stone axes they carry.
Although it is a bit extravagant, it does not seem too wasteful to use it on this. At least no one seems unwilling, and even if a stone ax is used to hit a stone, the larger end is used. As long as the stone ax is not broken, It has no impact on future use.
Anyway, it will only take half a day. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will definitely find some more suitable stones in the future. Although the Tengshe tribe is living well now, they are not rich enough to use a stone ax to knock stones casually.
Although the stone ax is more convenient, its disadvantage is that it is a little small, and not many things will fall when it is smashed on the rock ore cliff.
But this is also used by people who dislike the slow speed, but Song Xuan thinks it is just right, because although there are fewer hits, they are more broken, which is actually 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. The others can't help but lie on the rock wall, knocking and licking.
Twenty people are completely distributed in different directions of the valley. The correct purpose is to let everyone know the general places first and determine which places have salt in the stones and which do not. There is no need to continue for the time being.
The result was in line with Song Xuan's expectations. The open space in this valley was not large to begin with, only four or five meters wide and only about twenty meters long.
Only a small part of the stones knocked down in this circle can taste a relatively strong salty taste, and these salt ores are not very concentrated. Only a four or five-meter ore belt can be denser.
Although it is found in other places, it seems to be in a sporadic state. Often you can taste the salty smell on a stone here, but there is only a very light smell next to it. If you knock it further, it will not be the same as a normal stone. There is a big difference, but it may be due to salt erosion and is not as hard as the outside stone.
Although the physical exertion of this tapping and tasting is not great, it is quite a torture for everyone's tongues. The face that was full of excitement at the beginning turned into a bitter look at this time. Of course, the mood was still good. This expression was entirely caused by the impure salt taste.
Everyone tasted at least dozens of mouthfuls, and Song Xuan didn't let everyone rinse their mouths with water. They often had to lick several rocks to clean them with water. Naturally, this feeling was not that wonderful.
