Chapter 43
Seeing that everyone's faces softened, Yan Mo knew that they had listened. It seems that what he did during this time was not in vain. Although it was not enough to fight against the influence of their priests, he also gave these warriors Left the impression that he was useful and had a good heart.
So he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: If you don't want to go to the sea, then I can take you to find other salt fields. The salt may not be as much as the sea, but it should be enough for the Yuanji tribe for a few years. "
From what you mean, you seem to know more than a new salt field where salt can be produced. "Bing said suspiciously.
Yan Mo calmly said nonsense: Yes, I am a sacrifice disciple of the Yanshan clan, and I must be better at finding salt than ordinary clansmen. "
Hunter and the others looked at each other.
Zhan pushed Yan Mo to Cao Ding's side and let her watch. Others thought that the little slave's leg was broken and couldn't walk. Only he knew that the little slave's leg was 90% fine.
The warriors came together for a quick and brief deliberation.
First find the salt land, who knows where the sea is. "Carved.
But didn't Xiao Mo say that the sea has inexhaustible salt and a lot of food? "Sadly said.
I think if the Yanshan people also know the news of the sea, they must go to the south to find the sea. "Tooth loss judgment.
possible. Hunter nodded, if the sea is really at the end of the continent, that kid didn't lie, the journey will definitely be very dangerous, there are only twelve of us, the fourth-level warrior of the Gaoshan tribe went out with four companions, and died when he came here. He is the only one left, and I don’t know if he and the sun worshipers will be able to find the end of the continent in the future. Winter is coming, and the tribe is eagerly waiting for salt. It would be best if we can find salt nearby.”
The soldiers returned to the boy's side, and everyone squatted down together.
Yuan Zhan poked his little slave, and said, where can I find salt other than the sea? "
Yan Mo did not answer the question: Where are the most herbivorous animals? Such as cattle, sheep, etc. "
Chapter 32 The second reward of the guide!
Where else is there a lot of herbivores?
Grass?
Grass is a lot, but there are also carnivores, and other tribes of primitive people.
Yan Mo felt that the request he made was very simple, and he knew that things would not be easy with a single look on his face."
The largest nearby Fengwei grassland is three days' journey away from us. There is a common hunting ground for several tribes. Every time we go there, although the harvest will be huge, we must go to a team of at least 100 people. Time, more people go. "Hunter clenched his fists.
Yan Mo remembered the thousand-man army.
If we have to go there, we have to be careful. "When I said this, the hunter had already hugged me and definitely won't be able to come back, as long as there is a tragic mood that escapes and returns to report.
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Yan Mo said with a calm expression: "You don't have to go there. If there are relatively large populations nearby, I don't want to hunt them, but to follow them." "
follow them? Can you find salt by following those herbivores? "Bing asked immediately.
Yan Mo didn't nod or shake his head, keeping a proper mystery. He doesn't have the ability to find minerals, and can only find ways from some common sense he knows. He remembered that the ancient humans in the original world completely relied on the flesh and blood of animals to supplement their salt. Later, the primitive people who lived by the sea probably discovered the salt first, while the inland people occasionally found that herbivores would lick the salt. Licked some rocks and soil and found salt too.
So, he decided to follow suit.
Anyway, he couldn't think of a better way, so he could only give it a try.
According to some clues and speculations in the young man's memory, he even speculated that the Yanshan tribe priests probably found Yanshan by following and observing herbivores.
Seeing Yan Mo's unwillingness to answer, everyone didn't find it strange. Priests are always mysterious. This ability to find salt through herbivores must also be part of the inheritance of the Yanshan tribe's priests.
Yuan Zhan got up and seemed to be looking for a marker. Finally, he pointed in a certain direction and said: If you don't go to Fengwei Grassland, start from us and go southeast, about a day's journey, where there is a smaller sheep. group. "
southeast? "The hunter also got up and looked over. I remember that there is a large number of stinger tribes stationed there. Are we really going there?"
It's better than the fact that people like us go into the Fengwei Grassland. Yuan Zhan calmly said: This is the last hunting period before winter comes. All the nearby tribes are concentrated there, and most of the grasslands are also guarded there. If we are accidentally discovered, we will not be killed. If shòu bites and eats it, it means being captured or killed by other tribes.”
The stingers are not easy to deal with. Although they are few, the stingers thrown out are hard to guard against, and they don't even know our words, and it's useless to say anything to them. The chief has always wanted to kill them all, but he was worried about losing a lot of tribal warriors, and the savages had no intention of harassing the nearby tribes for the time being. "
Savage? Listening to primitive people say that others are savages, it feels so simple! Yan Mo was immediately interested in the group of Stinger tribesmen. If they were just starting out, maybe they would be more foolish than the people from the Yuanji tribe? Is the language barrier, there may be comparisons
big trouble.
As long as we act carefully and don't snatch those sheep, those Stinger tribesmen would not dare to provoke us easily, and the poisonous spines on their bodies are not inexhaustible, and they will die if they use too many poisonous spines. "
Yan Mo didn't understand the second half of Yuan Zhan's sentence. Why do the stingers die when they use too much stinger? Is it because the poison needle is so toxic that even if there is too much direct contact with the skin and a long time, the toxin will enter the body?
Yan Mo was even more itchy, and wished he could get some stingers from the Stinger clan to take a look - if an antidote could be researched for its toxicity, it would be a weapon for self-defense and life-saving.
OK, then go there. The sun is about to set, we have to find a place to spend the night quickly, to the southeast... The nearest settlement still needs to go a long way, we have to hurry up! Hunter looked up at the position of the sun, and immediately greeted everyone to leave.
Everyone stood up one after another, and without a single one talking, they carried their luggage and left. Because of the quicksand incident, they spent a long time here, and now the sun has dropped to two people's heights from the top of Hasa Mountain.
There was nothing to say all the way, everyone just hurrying on the road, passing a water source on the way to drink some water in a hurry, Yan Mo had no time to check the nearby plants, and was urged by Yuan Zhan to go on the road. At this time, Yan Mo didn't realize how dangerous it would be after going deep into the grassland.
Finally, when the red glow appeared on the horizon, the group arrived at the place where the hunters said. This place is far from the water source, backed by a small mound, and there are many fire pits or skeletons left on the ground. It must be one of the daily camps where the warriors of the Primordial Tribe come out to hunt.
Before it was dark, Yuan Zhan took care of the boy Jiāo in Kusamachi, and together with Bing, Jiao, and Shan, the four of them left with wooden spears to hunt.
Hunt took out two flints, took a handful of grass and put it in the fire pit, and gave the two stones to the mosquitoes.
Mosquito Sheng held two stones above the gān grass and beat each other for a long time, but not enough sparks fell out to ignite the gān grass below. It really took a long time, and a different person tried in the middle, but until Yuan Zhan and Bing came back with the prey that had been treated in the water source, the fire still did not start.
In the end, the hunter announced: Vulcan is in a bad mood tonight, everyone squeezed to sleep. "
ha? ! Yan Mo couldn't believe it when he stared at the hunt. Could it be that this is the reason why you don't make fires in the wild? Because all fire depends on luck?
It's better not to make a fire, so as not to be searched by wild shòu. It was cold at night, everyone squeezed to sleep. "Carving a face like this is a very normal expression, and I don't care at all.
The last time Yuan Zhan mentioned this, he wanted to refute it. This time, it was about his own life safety and camping comfort. Yan Mo couldn't help but say: Wild people are afraid of fire. If we have a fire, Even if you are really grilling anything, you don't have to worry about them daring to rush over. In addition, the ignition can also disperse mosquitoes. It is also warm to sleep next to the fire pit at night, and the benefits are piled up. "
It also needs to be ignited by fire, and it is not in the tribe here. There are long-term reserved fire seeds in the tribe, and you can get them when you need them. "Meng said helplessly.
Dare you say that if there is no fire, you can use less wild shòu, is it a kind of self-comfort because the fire is hard to live?
Thinking about it, it is no wonder that the warriors are so embarrassed. The ancient humans in his original world did not like to travel long distances for a long time. Generally, hunting and gathering will be near the door of the house, and they rarely stay overnight in the wild until they appear. Even at night, fire sickles, flints and tinder can be easily made in the wild, so more people dare to go out.
The people of the Yuanji tribe dare to leave their homes, probably because there are too many people to strengthen their courage, and when there are too many people, the fire can be given to the slaves, so that they can try one by one, as long as one succeeds, then there is no need to worry .
But when there are few people and tools, it becomes a big problem to start a fire, as it is now. It was getting dark, and no one wanted to spend time and effort making fires, just want to fill their stomachs and go to bed earlier.
Yan Mo scratched his scalp, there must be lice in his hair.
It is not impossible to use stones to make a fire, but if you want to have a good effect, it also depends on the texture of the stone, such as pyrite, phosphorus and copper ores, and flint.
In addition to stones, given the current conditions, the only way he can think of to make fire is to drill wood to make fire, but that seems simple, but it also has certain requirements for tools. It's so late and it's dark. Suitable dry wood, hard branches, and flammable tinder are not easy, and if you want to get out of the fire quickly, it is best to make a bow with a string.
Can you show me those two stones? " Yan Mo asked.
Hunting didn't care, and threw the stone directly to him. There are many mountains behind this kind of stone.
Except for those minerals that can be used as medicines, Yan Mo didn't know much about ores, so he just wanted to take a look at them, but when he saw them, he really saw a problem.
