The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 8 The Desperate Need for Salt
In the last month of autumn, the footsteps of winter are getting closer and closer, and the weather is starting to turn cold.

After catching a lot of fish and hoarding a lot of wild fruits and vegetables, food is finally nothing to worry about.

But there is another problem that urgently needs to be addressed, and that is salt.

People cannot live without salt for a long time.

In particular, the Mang tribe catches freshwater fish, and the salt content in the fish is pitifully small.If this continues, their bodies will slowly collapse.

For the sake of the tribe, and also for Chen Bei to eat better, he must find a way to get salt as soon as possible.

what can we do about it?

Chen Bei thought hard for a few days, and one night, he suddenly remembered the animal world he had seen before.

It has been introduced there that large mammals, especially herbivorous mammals, often actively look for salt in the wild for food.

Like humans, they also need regular salt supplements to maintain good health.

"It's almost winter now, and there is a lack of food in winter, so there are fewer opportunities to replenish salt. Therefore, large mammals will definitely replenish their body's salt in advance."

"It's a good chance that I might find the salt just by following them."

Lying on the bed, Chen Bei thought to himself: It would be a good thing if he could find it, but if he couldn't find it, he would have to think of other ways.

Unless it is a last resort, Chenbei does not want to conflict with other tribes for the time being.After all, the Mang tribe is really too weak now.

After making up his mind, Chen Bei went to sleep peacefully, and the next day, he found the elders of the tribe.

The elder's name is "Mu". He used to be the elder of the Gui tribe, but now he is the elder of the Mang tribe.

Because he is old enough and well-informed, he is the one who is qualified to be an elder in the tribe.

Chen Bei came to the elder's wooden house and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Go to the mountains to find salt?"

The elder frowned. He seemed to have remembered something, recalled it for a while, and said, "Chief, I remembered something."

"Elder, please speak."

"I once heard the elders of the tribe say that a long time ago, a small tribe also found salt in the mountains. They were overjoyed and brought a lot of salt back. But after eating this salt, half of the people in the tribe died. .”

Mu is already very old, and the elder he talks about must be even older, which shows that this story has been circulated for a long time.

"So, even if there is no salt to eat, no one dares to eat that kind of salt."

After listening to Mu's words, Chen Bei asked, "Does the elder know how the big tribes get their salt?"

Mu Dao: "I know this. I heard that the witches of the big tribes are very powerful. Their salt is made by witchcraft. Some of them are brought from far away places by the people of the big tribes outside the mountains. came."

"The elder really believes that witchcraft can make salt?" Chen Bei asked.

"Of course I do."

Chen Bei frowned slightly. If it was his previous life, he would definitely have sneered at making salt by witchcraft.

But there are too many mysterious powers in the world he is in now, and he is not sure whether witchcraft can make salt.

In desperation, Chen Bei had no choice but to say: "Elder, don't worry, I actually have a way to make the salt in the mountains non-toxic, and it will definitely not poison people to death."

"Boss, are you serious?"

The elder excitedly grabbed Chen Bei's hand. If the salt in the mountains could be detoxified, it would be great news for the Mang tribe.

"Of course, this is the method that the totem god told me."

In order to avoid the elder's further questioning, Chen Bei resolutely pushed the matter to the God of Rhinoceros. Anyway, this is not a bad thing, so the God of Rhinoceros would not mind, right?
"Since it is the instruction of the totem god, it must be true."

Sure enough, when the elder heard the word Totem God, he no longer had any doubts.

The tribal people's enthusiasm for the totem god is unimaginable to future generations. Even if the totem god says that there are actually three suns and five moons in the sky, they will believe it.

"Since this is the case, then I have no objections. I hope that the leader can find salt in the mountains and forests, and our tribe can prosper as soon as possible."

With salt, not only can you eat it yourself, but you can also sell it to other tribes at a high price. As long as there are no accidents, it is inevitable for tribes with salt to grow and develop.

"Okay, I'm leaving tomorrow. When I'm not around, the elders will have to worry about the affairs of the tribe."

"Leader, don't worry."

Chen Bei turned around and went back.

This time, he didn't plan to take anyone there, because the people in the tribe didn't have the power of totems, and he was distracted to take care of them in the dangerous mountain forest.

"How about doing a sacrifice next time? In other tribes, totem warriors are awakened during the sacrificial ceremony. For the first sacrifice in our tribe, the rhinoceros god can't be too shameless, right? At least a few totem warriors must be awakened .”

Chen Bei is probably the only one who dares to let the Totem God give him face.

Chen Bei returned to his wooden house, preparing the things he would bring tomorrow.

First of all, the animal skin bag is definitely necessary. If you find salt, you can put it back.

There is no need to bring food. With his intermediate totem warrior strength, it is still very easy to hunt alone in the forest.

In terms of weapons, Chen Bei was somewhat dissatisfied.

Up to now, Chenbei has only two very rough spears, the spearheads are ground with stones, although they are still strong, they are not very handy.

It would be great if I could get back the bone knife that was polished from the arm bone of the wild bear.

With his current strength, only weapons of that level can allow him to exert his greatest strength.

It's a pity that the bone knife is still in the worm tribe, and I'm afraid it has become the weapon of the "centipede" now.

"Centen, you'd better live longer, your life is mine!"

Chen Bei clenched his fists, and it took him a long time to calm down the anger and hatred in his heart. He did not lose his composure, and now going to trouble the Insect Tribe is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

The most important thing right now is to hang on temporarily and develop in secret. When the Mang tribe grows strong enough and its own strength is further improved, then seek revenge from the insect tribe.

That day, Chen Bei ate and drank enough, and had a solid sleep. The next day, at dawn, he quietly left the tribe with his things and went to the mountains to look for large animals.

Even in the early morning, there are still great dangers in the vast mountains and forests.

"hiss~"

A giant python was entwined on the big tree, raised its head, swallowed the letter, and stared straight at Chen Bei passing below with cold eyes.

Chen Bei didn't look at the giant python at all, the totem pattern appeared on his body, and his whole body exuded a dangerous and powerful aura.

The giant python felt this breath, and its natural fear made it retreat, not daring to attack Chenbei.

If it is not necessary, Chenbei will not slaughter wild animals in the forest at will, but will only let them retreat.

This is for sustainable development.

If there is wanton hunting, there will be fewer and fewer wild animals in the forest, which is not what Chen Bei wants to see.

Chen Bei continued to move forward, his target was large mammals, especially those that ate grass, because their demand for salt would be more than that of carnivores.
