Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 4
Feeling the reverence of the primitive people around him, as well as the water source he successfully discovered, made Zhou Xu feel a little bit better.

But as the steps approached, Zhou Xu frowned after seeing the situation along the lake.

"Has anyone ever drank the water here?"

Facing the question, all the tribe members shook their heads.

After successfully discovering the water source, the credibility of Zhou Xu's words suddenly rose two steps among the tribe members.

Recalling Zhou Xu's exhortations at that time, they all controlled themselves one by one.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu walked quickly to the lake, picked up a handful of lake water, it was very clear, and then went to smell it.

Humans are actually a very sensitive species. In many cases, relying on their sense of smell and vision is enough for them to judge whether this thing can still be eaten.

The best proof is that many people will open and smell the food that has been in the refrigerator for an unknown period of time before throwing it away.

Basically, as long as it smells and looks okay, most of them can still be eaten, at least not to death.

Zhou Xu undoubtedly also possessed this skill.

If possible, of course he would like to boil the water, but how can this condition be met now.

On the way here, he had already asked Dashan if they would light a fire.

Dashan told him that they hadn't had time to take away the fire the night they were attacked, and there was no way to start a fire now.

This shows that Dashan's fire-making ability is still at the level of looking for natural fire and then keeping the fire, and they will not artificially light fire at all.

As for him...

If you want to ask him about the method of making fire artificially, such as drilling wood to make fire, bow drilling to make fire, etc., he just opens his mouth.

But the problem now is that he has never practiced it!
This method of starting a fire, after thinking about it, is not as easy as it sounds.

Right now they are tired, hungry and thirsty, but any saliva to drink can relieve them a lot.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhou Xu dipped some lake water with his fingertips and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, he frowned, and spat out with a 'pooh'.

"Sure enough, it's salty."

After walking in before, Zhou Xu discovered that there was a circle of suspected salt belts on the edge of the lake, so he blindly guessed that it might be a saline lake.

Now that the speculation has been confirmed, he is really in a state of dumbfounding in his current mood.

The human body needs salt, of course salt is important, but the problem is, he wants fresh water more now!

Along the way, his thirsty throat was about to smoke.

During the period, watching Zhou Xu's reaction, the surrounding tribe members also realized that there might be something wrong with the water.

But many of them were still staring at the clear lake, clearly unable to suppress their urge to drink water.

Zhou Xu, who saw this scene in his eyes, stood up calmly.

"I tell you clearly that this water is not drinkable, and the more you drink it, the thirstier you will become, but I can also see that many of you still want to drink it, so I allow you to take a sip, if you want to drink it, go Bar."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people at the scene couldn't wait to rush to the lake.

As a result, within a second after the mouthful of lake water went down, they sprayed it out on the spot, and some even retched in discomfort.

This scene undoubtedly frightened those who hadn't had time to drink water.

All of a sudden, their gazes turned to Zhou Xu again, and their awe of him increased a bit.

But at this moment, Zhou Xu was not looking at them, and his attention was completely on Feique.

He could see that Feique also wanted to drink water, but after he said that the water was not drinkable, Feique obviously dismissed the idea.

Judging from the current performance, Feique is a more suitable candidate to develop into his confidant.

As for Dashan...

Still have to observe and observe.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the tribe members again.

He had just arrived, and facing these primitive people, it was unrealistic to just think about stopping them and making them completely obey his orders.

If necessary, let them suffer a little bit, such as now.

The reactions of these people undoubtedly proved his correctness in the most direct way.

Invisibly, his prestige is accumulating.

Looking up at the sky, the sky has always been gray, making it impossible for him to judge the current time relatively accurately.

But calculating the time from his time travel to the present, it might not be too early.

[It is unrealistic to think about leaving here now to find a new campsite. The most important thing is that we don’t have water or enough food. We don’t have a clear direction and goal, so we can only aimlessly It's unwise to search indiscriminately. 】

[Under this premise, although the water in this saltwater lake cannot be drunk directly, after a simple distillation, I can obtain fresh water and salt at the same time, it just takes a little more effort. 】

[In terms of geographical location. Although the black forest grows in strange shapes, the wood should be usable. Camping here is just right in the middle of the black forest and the salt lake. To some extent, it is quite good of. 】

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu made a thorough decision.

"Send the order, we will camp here!"

After giving this order, Zhou Xu quickly turned his head and looked at Feique.

"Feique, you take some people to the edge of the forest, pick up some dry branches and come back..."

Having said that, Zhou Xu paused.

"As for bugs and mice, I can grab some and bring them back, but don't rush into the depths of the forest."

"clear."

With a response, Feique moved swiftly.

After watching Feique run away, Zhou Xu turned his head to look at Dashan, and asked Dashan what utensils or tools they had on hand.

They were attacked at that time, and they escaped for their lives, and there was no time to bring many things with them.

But for the time being there is still a little bit.

While talking, Dashan found a few utensils with uneven edges but rather round interiors, each of which was about the size of a rice bowl.

[This looks like the shell of some fruit, similar to a coconut, but not quite like it. 】

While Zhou Xu was thinking, he knocked and made a soft 'tuk-tuk-tuk' sound.

One of them was extra large, like a small pot.

"Dashan, can this thing be roasted on fire?"

Although he didn't know why Zhou Xu asked this, Da Shan still nodded.

"it should be OK."

After getting this answer, he straightened out his thoughts and roughly had an idea.

"Anyway, Mr. Huo, Dashan, you take two people with me to pick up some rocks and come back."

Now lighting a fire has become a problem that they have to solve. Even if Zhou Xu has no such experience, he can only bite the bullet.

Stones are easy to find. With the help of Dashan and the others, Zhou Xu quickly piled up a simple stone stove.

During this process, a voice sounded in Zhou Xu's mind...

[System Reminder: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for setting up the first tribal camp! 】

[System Reminder: Do you want to name the newly established tribal camp? 】

Along the way, he had to confirm too many things. Originally, he wanted to wait until he had basically settled down before studying the system.

I never thought that this system would jump out by itself.

As for the name issue, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate at all.

"It's called the Salt Lake Tribe."

　The new book has just been published. Recently, I have to sort out the outline and materials, and I have to deal with the signing of the contract. For the time being, it will be updated once a day, and it will return to normal after a while. Thank you for your support!
