Chapter 459 Destruction of the hole
At first glance, this salty land looks like a snow field, and most parts of the ground are covered with white.n∈,
There are some sunken shallow pits on the ground, which are caused by the melting of snow after it lands and gathering together.
On the snow-white ground, salt flowers emerged from the ground like corals. The center of each salt flowers was dark or light, red or blue. At first glance, it looked like they had reached a fairyland. However, people who knew this place could not avoid it.
Although there is also salt everywhere here, the salt is poisonous, and no one who has eaten or licked animals is spared. Therefore, for a long time, this place was recognized as a dangerous place, and whoever enters will die. Some people even said that this is the cemetery of salt beasts. Whoever approaches here will invade their tombs will be punished. This is a demonized area.
It was not until later that someone walked into this salt land and discovered the salt mine, and the dead land came alive.
Kakka
A subtle crackling sound came from the sunken shallow pit.
Shao Xuan saw an orange-yellow crystal pillar emerge from the water from the shallow pit, looking like crystal-like texture, crystal clear. The crystal pillar grows upwards and forked. As it grows upwards, the surface of the crystal pillar also becomes translucent, and then is covered with a layer of white frost. When it grows nearly half a person tall and stops growing upwards, it is almost the same as the salt flowers in other places on this salt ground, but the color is a little different, and it looks a hint of orange.
This is just one of the salt flowers that "opened". In the other sunken shallow pits, other salt flowers also emerged, including green, red, and even black.
Although this scene is beautiful, it reminds the legends here before, but it makes the people you see feel creepy.
"Let's go, just don't eat them." Zheng Luo said.
When I stepped on the salt ground, I heard a clear cracking sound. This was the sound of the salt layer on the ground, which was much louder than the ones on the snow. Under my feet were large and small cracked salt crystals, blocky, flakes, large and small, and small being stepped into powder.
The team tried to walk to higher places, avoid the sunken shallow pits, and the leather boots were soaked with water stains. After drying, salt would be precipitated. Those that were also not eaten are poisonous.
"There are footprints!" Duokang pointed in a direction.
The footprints left on the salt ground will remain for a while, even if the temperature gets higher, it will not melt quickly like snow.
"There are about 200 people, no more than 300, and the time left is no more than four days." Wacha is already very familiar with this salt land and can roughly judge it based on the traces on the ground.
"It is probably a group of people who have been newly recruited by the Liehu Tribe and the others. This doesn't seem to be left by the two tribes." Su Sha followed and said after seeing it.
The people from the Liehu Tribe will have a more neat team when they leave, while the people from the Sen Tribe are more messy than these. Therefore, these footprints will not be left by the two tribes.
"I won't rest tonight. Keep rushing!" Zheng Luo shouted.
Although according to previous habits, in order to maintain sufficient physical strength to meet the enemy, they would definitely stop resting and repair, even in the previous few days of travel, they would stop to rest at night. But after listening to Shao Xuan's words, Zheng Luo decided to change his previous practice.
There is no hot broth or warm rice porridge. When you are hungry, you can only chew the jerky frozen quilt. All you can smell in the air is the smell of salty ground. In addition to the whistling of the wind, there is the sound of footsteps stomping on the salt ground.
Fortunately, the wind was not strong and there was no snow this night. Compared to the previous few days, it was much calmer.
Such calmness can easily make people slack, but Zheng Luo kept urging everyone to keep tense and not complaining. They only knew that it would be better to listen to the leader in everything, and the leader would never harm them.
At the same time, in the salt mine.
Several people from the Lie Fox Tribe and the people from the Sen Tribe discussed in the salt cave.
This is the salt cave of the Liehu Tribe.
The salt under the salt mine is layered, one layer of rock, one layer of salt mine, another layer of rock, and then the salt mine. However, they like to continue digging down before the mining layer was finished. Not long ago, they finally dug something out, but they didn't expect that the surprise was so great.
After thinking about it, they chose to be an alliance with the Sen tribe. Shan Feng's personality is too strange. The people of the Liehu tribe look down on them. The relationship between the Yanjiao and Taihe tribe is close. One knows and the other is not far away. Therefore, after excluding these three, it is the Sen tribe. Although the people of the Sen tribe sometimes look arrogant, it is related to Fire Crystal, and the people of the Sen tribe will be smart and temporarily put away their arrogance.
At this time, six senior leaders of the two tribes gathered together, among them, there were a few fire crystals with the largest eyes.
"This is dug out today, and there are more fire crystals below. However, the more you go down, the harder it will be. It may not be able to dig it out in less than 30 or 50 days. I am afraid that during this period, Yanjiao and Taihe and others will come." said a man wearing brown animal skin, casually dispersed hair and rough face. This is a man from the Sen tribe.
"As far as we know, people from Shanfeng may have joined forces with Yanjiao and Taihe River, and may come here to grab the mine. Although we used salt to attract some people, we must be more careful. People from Yanjiao are not that easy to deal with." said the leader of Liehu.
"In such weather, they will come here too?" The people from the Sen tribe were suspicious.
"If they really came in snowy days, they would definitely know the secret of Fire Crystal!" The leader of the Liehu showed ruthlessness. They had already divided half of them to the Sen tribe, and they had been hurt for a long time. If they hadn't been to guard against those three tribes, why would they have to give up the benefits?! They would not allow anyone to join in and share the burden!
The people from the Sen tribe had the same idea about this.
Guga
A strange cry came from outside the cave, and the sound was flying towards this side.
A man from the Sen tribe raised his hand, and a gray shadow cried and stopped on his arm.
It was a bird that looked like a bird of prey, but it was not big.
The bird shook the hair on its body, as if it was trembling, and then shouted at the man from the Sen tribe.
Guga Guga
The man in the Sen tribe changed his expression, "The people from Taihe have come to the salt mine, and now they are almost at the salt land. They really know the secret of the fire crystal!!"
"The people from Taihe have come here, and I guess the people from Yanjiao are not far away. It must be that the people from Shanfeng discovered the fire crystal last time, so they joined forces with them. According to time, they will arrive at the salt mine in the future." The leader of Liehu had already calculated several times in his heart and said.
"The next day?" The people from the Sen tribe pondered, "In three days, the weather may change, and the previous plan must be changed."
Speaking of this Fierce Fox, he was also depressed. He had already arranged several plans and arranged troops to arrange troops, but was disturbed by the sudden changes in weather. The people of the Forest Tribe have always been very sensitive to weather changes. They can infer the changes in the climate from the changes of various grass and trees in the mountains and forests. They said that there will definitely change within three days, or even become more powerful, and that will definitely happen.
"A tough fight may not necessarily stop them, especially the arrogant people in Yanjiao." The leader of Liehu was estimating the impact the three-party cooperation over there could bring to them.
"What should I do?" asked the man from the Sen tribe with a frown.
A woman with long and narrow eyes sitting beside the leader of the Fox flashed in her eyes and she smiled, "It's not impossible."
The others all looked at the woman together.
The woman in a fiery red fur raised her hand to touch a white fox in her arms, "The sky will indeed change, but it will not be three days. Within two days, a huge change will definitely take place!"
As if responding to the woman's words, the fox in her arms raised his head and whined.
"Two days? Are you sure? How do you know?" The people from the Sen tribe were suspicious.
"You don't have to worry about how you know, but I'm sure there will be changes within two days." The woman's tone was stable and she was very confident in her words.
"Even if there is a change within two days, what can you do to solve it?"
"The solution is actually simple." The woman said calmly, "There are changes in the sky, and manpower cannot be stopped. Once it happens, she can only bear it, or find a place to hide. In the salt mine, the only place to hide is the salt cave."
"You mean..." The others already understood in their hearts. There were only those opened by the five tribes of the salt mine. Of course, there were only salt caves of the five tribes of the salt mine.
"But if there is no salt cave, you say that the people of Shanfeng, Yanjiao and Taihe are coming, once the sky changes, where can they avoid?"
"Destroy their salt cave!" The eyes of others burst into light.
"The Taihe River will arrive at the end of the day. Yanjiao and Shanfeng will definitely be similar. We will destroy the salt caves tomorrow. When they come, we just need to guard our own caves. The salt caves are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they are blocked outside. Under the changes of the sky, even if they want to destroy our salt caves, there is not so much time." The leader of the Fox said.
"No," the woman smiled and nodded in agreement.
"But, the salt caves of the three tribes were destroyed. How do you get the people you recruited?" asked the people from the Sen tribe.
"Give it aside the salt caves on your Sen tribe, and let them go in and hide. We will send some people to take care of it. The important thing is to guard the place." The woman said.
It is not necessary to temporarily give up your salt cave. For the sake of Fire Crystal, the people of the Sen tribe can temporarily put down the salt mine, "But what if the people from Shanfeng and the other tribes seize the salt cave over there?"
"So what if you seize it? If you really can seize it, their casualties will definitely be a big deal, so why should we be afraid?" said the woman. Five salt caves and three were destroyed, and they were heavily guarding them. Even if the last salt cave was seized, most of the people who died were temporary helpers they used salt to call them. If they died, they would die. They were not the dead of the Fox people, and they could still eliminate the combat power of the three tribes of Shanfeng and the others. Why not do it?
