Sure enough, it was a safe journey.
About two hours later.
Two hours on earth, the distance may not be that far at a person's walking speed.
But this is a primitive society, and Yanhu and the others are still totem warriors. Their walking speed is almost four to five times that of humans on earth.
Therefore, the Qingque tribe is still quite far away in this mountainous area. Otherwise, they would have discovered it long ago after staying here for so long.
In front of us is a mountainous area, which is composed of several large and small hills.
The one closest to everyone and the one at the front is a hilltop of more than thirty meters. Except for some soil, all the exposed rocks are jagged and strange-shaped.
"Okay, this is it."
Yang Cheng took out the map and marked it again.
What you see in the air is only an approximate range, and it is actually slightly off.
After drawing the map, Yang Cheng said: "Yanhu, you can lead people to mine rocks here."
Yan Hu responded, picked up the ax made of wood and stone in his hand, and began to beat on the rocks.
"Cang Shi, take a few people with me to see the salt mine." Yang Cheng said to Cang Shi again.
"good."
Cang Shi ordered a few people to follow Yang Cheng.
As usual, Yang Cheng was riding on Xi Ni Niu. Xi Ni Niu was bound to him and couldn't be too far away.
And with the Ni Niu, Yang Cheng's journey was much easier. His mind was connected. He could go as slowly as he wanted, or as fast as he wanted. He didn't have to suffer the pain of being carried by the original version of the sedan.
The salt mine is a little far away from the rocky mountain, but not far away.
This time we walked for ten minutes and we arrived.
The salt mine is about ten meters high. The other three sides are rough. There are only some grass leaves and branches on it, but no specific trees.
This should be because the salt mine is not suitable for the growth of trees.
The other side is straight and smooth, with a small pool underneath.
The water in the small pool was very dirty, with the excrement of ferocious beasts and the mud from the feet, and it was pitch black.
At this time, in the small pool, there were three or four ferocious beasts of different levels and types licking the walls.
They were in peace with each other, and they must have reached a tacit understanding, licking the salt mine together to replenish the salt in their bodies.
However, these ferocious beasts have reached a tacit understanding, but they have not reached a tacit understanding with the Qingque tribe.
Yang Cheng directly asked Cang Shi and the others to use slings to greet them.
"Swish swish——"
After a few noises, these low-level ferocious beasts went to get their lunch boxes.
Two totem warriors stepped forward and dragged the dead beast out of the pool, while several other totem warriors guarded the surrounding area.
Cang Shi stepped forward, stepped into the dirty small pool, picked up a stone ax and knocked a stone off the mountain wall, and then walked to Yang Cheng's side.
"witch."
Cang Shi handed the stone in his hand to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng took it and looked at it. The stone was yellowish brown, somewhat similar to the salt mine taken from the Vine Tribe, but the color was not as dark.
However, with Yang Cheng's strength, he could pinch part of the stone and turn it into powder.
It means that this stone should be some kind of mineral, most likely salt.
"Well, it must be a salt mine."
Yang Cheng threw the stone in his hand back to Cang Shi and said, "But to see if it's true or not, let's use the old method."
"yes."
Cangshi asked another totem warrior to take out the tools he had prepared long ago.
Clay pots, bamboo tubes, charcoal, sand, and clear water.
The totem warriors are all very capable. Yang Cheng taught them briefly before and they learned it.
First, use bamboo tubes, charcoal, stones, and sand to make a simple filter.
Then pour water into a clay pot, throw in the rocks that are suspected to be salt mines, melt them, pour them into a filter, and then pour them back out.
This was repeated, and finally the water was burned away in a clay pot, revealing the white crystals underneath.
See these white crystals.
Cangshi and others no longer had any doubts about seeing it at first, and they were all a little excited.
Then Cangshi dipped his hand into a few white crystals and put them into his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Cangshi spit it out, but the joy on his face became even more melted.
"Witch, it's salt!"
Yang Cheng also reached out and dipped a few white crystals in it and tasted it. It was still salty and not delicious.
"Well, that's right, it's salt!"
Yang Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, let's do it, get some salt mines back first!"
Others responded and laughed:
"Okay, it just so happens that there is no salt in our tribe."
"Hey, it's the same with the Vine tribe. They said they'd go back to the tribe and deliver ten bags of salt, but there's still no news yet."
"Why are you in a hurry? We have only been back to the tribe for two sunsets. It will take six sunsets for the Vine tribe to come over."
…
Yang Cheng, Cang Shi and others worked here for about an hour.
Except for Yang Cheng, each of the six people who came over carried an animal skin bag on their back. The animal skin bag contained about ten kilograms of salt.
And Yang Cheng is a witch. Although he did not carry the salt mine, he had Xiniu Niu to shoulder this responsibility for him.
There are two bags of salt hanging on each of the two horns of the mud cow.
After loading the salt, Yang Cheng took everyone back. He was not in a hurry to dig all the salt in the salt mine at once.
Firstly, the salt mine is very big and it will take a long time to dig it all out; secondly, the salt mine has no legs and it cannot run.
It doesn't matter if you leave it here, at most it will be eaten by the ferocious beast.
Yang Cheng took Cang Shi and others to where the mountain was being cut.
Seeing Yang Cheng and others returning home with a full load, everyone in Yanhu who stayed on the Rock Mountain side was extremely happy.
They knew that from now on, the salt of the Qingque tribe would be available and no longer restricted to people!
After being happy for a while.
Yanhu and the others continued to work.
Yang Cheng watched from the side and then discovered the problem.
Everyone was knocking on the stone mountain one by one, working very hard and enthusiastically, but the efficiency was too low.
After hammering for a long time, a small piece of stone came out.
In fact, all the tools in many people's hands were broken, and then they moved and smashed them with their hands.
"Fire Tiger."
Yang Cheng shouted several times before Yan Hu could hear him amid the banging sounds.
"Wu, what's wrong?"
Yan Hu walked up to Yang Cheng and said doubtfully.
Yang Chengdao: "This work efficiency is too slow, you all stop."
Work efficiency? too slow?
Yan Hu couldn't understand Yang Cheng's nouns, but without any hesitation, he conveyed Yang Cheng's orders to everyone's ears.
