Chapter 327 Salty Stone

When Mongolian hunters who heard the news flocked to the scene, the battle had already ended, and only the indigenous savages were filled with pain and howling.

This group of indigenous savage tribes is the biggest threat to the survival of the Mongolians here.

But I can't do anything to completely defeat them.

Although the number of people on the other side is not as large as that of the Mongolians, they come and go in the forest like the wind, disperse as soon as they fight, ambush when they chase, retreat and come again, just like a group of ghosts, which is completely a major heart disease of the Mongolians.

You can't win, you can't get rid of it, and you can't drive it away.

This is the situation where the Mongolians face this group of barbaric indigenous tribes.

But as soon as the Ba people arrived today, they gave them such a big gift, which made the entire Mongolian tribe so grateful. The Mongolian tribe leader, who received the news of the victory of the battle, led the whole clan's elders and young people to express his most sincere gratitude to Xu Chen and others.

When dealing with the most disgusting enemy, you will naturally kill them quickly and eat their flesh and sleep with their skin.

So happy, all the Mongolians cheered and wanted to kill these people to reward Xu Chen and others.

However, when Xu Chen knew that the Mongolian grinding stone knife was preparing to kill and treat him, he was so disgusting that he almost vomited out all the meal he had eaten a few days ago. He righteously refused this delicious meal, saying that because of his stomach and other people, he also had a bad stomach and recently he had been vegetarian.

Although this statement shocked the Mongolian people, it may be because they were not adapted from the country and the country. Since everyone had poor stomachs and only vegetarian food, the Mongolian leader was very attentive to take out something and presented it to Xu Chen, indicating that this thing can treat gastrointestinal discomfort.

Looking at this extremely smooth stone that was rubbed, Xu Chen was inexplicably surprised.

“¥#@…”

The head of the Mongolian tribe is an old woman in her fifties, and she should be about the same age as Mo Ba. She picked up the stone and took it a bite, then put it on Xu Chen's hand with a smile on her face.

Xu Chen:...

Why do I say that the stone's bare patina is so rich, it turns out that it is licked like this.

However, looking at the Mongolian patriarch and all the Mongolian people with respect and expectation, Xu Chen twitched and turned around and stuffed the stone into Feng's hand.

Feng was flattered and licked the stone without hesitation. His body was stunned and showed an extremely surprised expression on his face, and then he couldn't wait to lick it again.

Well, what the hell, I'm actually addicted to licking?

Xu Chen looked at Feng in surprise, with a confused look on his face.

"Huga, salty..."

The wind reluctantly put the stone into Xu Chen's hand again like offering treasures.

Looking at the black stone full of saliva, Xu Chen was so disgusting that he wanted to throw it as far as possible, but he still held it back, and his heart was beating violently, and he asked in surprise and joy: "It's salty?"

"Salty, salty, so yell!" The wind lit his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Salty stones must contain two chemical components: sodium or potassium salts, but most of the potassium salts in nature are in potassium chloride states, and are generally crystals and polymerized into ores. The most common one is light halide, but they are easily dehydrated and soluble in water. When exposed to air for a long time, they will disperse into crystal powder.

This stone looks quite old at first glance. I don’t know how many times I have licked it by Mongolians as a treasure. If it were the light harbor stone, it would have been licked by saliva.

There is also a salty ore in nature, that is stone salt, also known as rock salt, which is a symbiotic ore formed by sodium chloride and rocks in salt springs or salt halide accumulation areas over the years. It is called a halogenated ore.

In fact, some herbivores like to lick stones, which is to obtain necessary salt supplements by enriching sodium chloride on the stones.

Therefore, salty stones are widely present in nature, but they cannot gather salt ore due to the salt concentration problem.

This stone has always been licked by Mongolians as a treasure, and it is full of saltiness. It must be an ordinary salty rock, but a halogenated ore rich in sodium chloride.

What does this mean?

It means there is salt near the Mongolian people.

Although the conditions for the formation of stone salt ore are not particularly harsh, a large amount of salt must be present.

Xu Chen's mind was filled with lightning and thunder. He excitedly grabbed the hand of the Mongolian elder and asked, "Where did you get this stone? Are there many more?"

The old lady couldn't understand a word, and she looked nervous, afraid that Xu Chen would have any bad habits, so she suddenly became interested in her, an old lady.

Seeing the old woman staring at her lower body nervously, Xu Chen quickly let go of her hand, turned around and gestured with the leaders of the Yugong tribe next to her and communicated with the hunter. So the people of the Yugong tribe probably understood and quickly stepped forward to talk to the old woman again.

This kind of three-party translation that is not familiar with each other is very difficult to communicate, but the problem is not complicated after all, and Xu Chen finally got the answer he wanted.

The old Mongolian patriarch pointed to a group of savages lying on the ground and kept gestured, and finally pointed to the direction where the group of savages had just arrived for another time. In addition, Mongolian hunters were also following each other. After a mess of yelling, Xu Chen understood that this salty stone roughly originated from the area where these indigenous tribes gathered, and it took about half a day to get here.

In other words, not only are there hot springs, but also salt mines nearby.

So Xu Chen changed his plan in an instant.

He came to the Mongolians just to see the situation and find out the surrounding environment. He did not want to communicate more with these indigenous savages in the south. Although he had been looking for salt mines, he did not think that there must be some nearby Mongolians, but he was just here to try his luck.

But unexpectedly, he actually encountered it.

In other words, he now had to go deeper into the primitive jungle in the south and enter the territory of these savages in the earth.

Salt is an essential thing for the future development and prosperity of tribes. With salt, meat will no longer be so important. Plant-based food can be obtained through vigorous development of farming. As for the supplement of carnivore, it can be completely supplemented through livestock breeding, without the need for large-scale hunting activities all year round.

"Get the map!"

Xu Chen was extremely excited.

If bathing in a hot spring is an unexpected harvest on this trip, then the discovery of the salt mine is completely a treasure he has been looking for but is unavailable.

The Mongolians, located in remote places, doubled their gains during this trip.

Soon a map was opened and displayed in front of everyone.

There are some pictures of mountains, rivers and rivers on it, and there are also five tribes with locations and names.

Now this map looks like a protruding area on the south bank of the Wulong River, which is the territory of the Yugong Alliance.

The Mongolians, a piece of cecum that stretched out from this territory to the south, stretched through a canyon for dozens of miles, hang alone in the canyons and primeval forests across the southern mountains.

Without waiting for Xu Chen's prompt, he quickly prepared the ink and pen. Xu Chen used his hand to mark the map several times. He looked up at the sun and confirmed the general direction. After adding the roads and locations to the Mongolian people on it, he also drew a circle next to it, marking the three words "hot spring ridge".

A group of Mongolian people were confused when they faced the novel map of the novel sackcloth and this heavenly book.

The leader of the Yugong tribe and several hunters who had been with Xu Chen for a few days had learned to look at this map. He proudly pointed at the location on the map next to it, explaining to the Mongolian tribe leader and a group of onlookers, where was the mountain, where was the river, where was the other tribes, where was the Yugong tribe, where did Xu Chen and others come from, etc.

After such an explanation, the Mongolian people who understood it suddenly realized, and Xu Chen's face was instantly filled with great admiration.

Drawing a map is a task that Xu Chen must complete every time he arrives in a new tribe.

Even when he is rushing to travel, he will stop and mark it clearly on the map.

For example, where there are caves, where there are cliffs, where there are mines, where there are beasts, etc.

Once this map is completed, the various situations in the areas traveling on both sides of the Wulong River can be seen at a glance, laying a preliminary foundation for the future regional territory of the kingdom.

"You said salty stones are nearby, right?"

Xu Chen used his hand to measure about twenty miles away, and turned to ask the Mongolian hunter.

"Uh-huh!"

Although he still couldn't understand Xu Chen's words, he understood what Xu Chen was asking. A group of excited Mongolian people nodded vigorously.

"Very good, wind, send the order, have a good rest today, and go tomorrow!"

Xu Chen tapped the location on the map with his fingers a few times.

"Abide by the order!"

Feng clasped his fists and roared, then shouted with excitement on his face and called on his companions to start packing up their bows and arrow weapons.

The Mongolians were silent for a moment and burst into a shocking cheer.

With the help of Xu Chen, a powerful hunter, this time they could take the opportunity to completely kill this old enemy who had been fighting in the nearby sides for hundreds of years.

So the leader of the Mongolian hunter turned around and shouted to instruct his companions to start preparing weapons, and the whole scene became busy all of a sudden.

The Mongolian patriarch's face was a little nervous, and he kept muttering to the leader of the Yugong clan. After listening to it, the leader of the Yugong clan quickly communicated with Xu Chen with the painting.

After hearing this, Xu Chen pinched his chin and was silent for a moment, pointing at the indigenous savage wounded all over the ground and said:

"Tell the patriarch not to worry too much. Then bring all these people with you and the bodies together. If they are willing to give up the salt mine, we will return them all. If they are unwilling, then there is only a war."

The leader of the Yu Gong clan turned to explain to the Mongolian patriarch. Seeing Xu Chen's arrangement, the Mongolian patriarch stopped persuading him.

These indigenous savages were all captured by Xu Chen, and the right to dispose of them was also within Xu Chen. Although she was unwilling to let go, she couldn't stop them.
