Primitives are stunned

Chapter 290 Outsmarting the Salt Lake
The problem of eating salt is urgent. If Wangcun is still a small village like it was in the past, it will be fine. The salt stones excavated by a few people every day, and the salt extracted from the salt soil excavated are enough for a village.

But now Wangcun has long been famous, and the villages with a radius of hundreds of miles know that they have a crystal clear and authentic snow-white and beautiful table salt, so they all come to Wangcun to exchange.

The salt in Wangcun can only be purchased with copper coins.Many villages did not send people to work in Wangcun, so naturally they did not have copper coins.

But they can exchange with those who come to work in Wangcun.

It is precisely because of this that the salt accumulated in Wangcun has become more and more scarce. By now, it has almost bottomed out.

The formation of the new army was left to Gu Mu, and as for the candidates, it was up to Wang Hao to choose.

With the help of the panoramic map provided by the system, there is no need to worry about the loyalty of the new army.

Only those tribesmen who have lighted up their own light spots can enter the new army at the very beginning.

And Wang Hao, on the second day of his return, took ten slaves to solve the problem of salt.

The giant tortoise in the salt lake, God knows how long it has been in the salt lake.Anyway, when it moved from Wangcun, it had already lived in Salt Lake.

Level [-] creatures also have strengths and weaknesses.

The salt lake giant tortoise is obviously the most top-notch existence among the third-level creatures.

When Wang Hao was a child, he heard that the third-level white tiger in the west of Wangcun once went to the salt lake to lick the salt water.

It's just that he had a fight with the giant tortoise in the salt lake. Since then, the white tiger has never been to the salt lake.

Whenever the white tiger lacks salt in its body, it would rather hunt other creatures and obtain salt from their blood than step into the territory of the giant tortoise.

Salt Lake is not far from Wangcun, if you run there, you can get there in half a day.

Around the salt lake, there are reddish-brown salt stones.The original Wangcun got its salt from these salt rocks.One lick, it was fishy and smelly.

Around the salt lake, there are not many salt rocks that are automatically spalled by the wind and the sun.In the past few months, almost all the salt rocks have been collected in the village.

It is precisely because of this that the output of table salt has been reduced, and it has become a state of being unable to make ends meet.

After such a long period of development, Wangcun has already possessed strong strength.

But his strength is only compared with other villages in the Great Wilderness.

If compared with the outstanding third-level creature, the Salt Lake giant tortoise, his strength is nothing to mention.

Because of the domineering character of the giant tortoise, Wang Hao once thought of many ways to get rid of it.

For example, dig a hole and set up a trap, and then fire after it falls in.

Either weave a huge net with hemp rope, lure it ashore, and then use the net to catch it and so on.

However, after a night of thinking, all the methods he thought of were eventually overthrown by himself.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.Because it doesn't need to pay attention to your conspiracy at all, it just needs to crush it, and then overthrow everything about you.

In the end, after thinking about it, Wang Hao decided to outwit.

A third-level creature already possesses extraordinary intelligence, but Wang Hao believes that no matter how smart it is, it is still just an animal.

If you are hundreds of meters away from the salt lake, find a place with low terrain and dig an underground passage leading to the salt lake.It should be possible to bring the lake water from the ground.

The more Wang Hao thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

The environment of Salt Lake is different from other places.

The salt stone by the lake is a stone similar to volcanic rock.

Although it is stone, it is not too hard.

If you use the alloy shovel produced by the system, the people in the wild can dig.

This kind of salt rock is simply naturally suitable for the construction of underground passage geology.

After the channel is dug, its own mass is able to withstand the pressure.Unlike soil, there is no need to worry about landslides.

Once the channel is opened, the flow of water flowing in must be very large. There is no need to fear that this kind of tunnel dug out of the salt rock will be washed away by the lake.

As long as all this is done underground, the giant tortoise will definitely not find it.

After all, Wang Hao had never heard of giant tortoises coming ashore on their own initiative, except for dealing with those creatures that drank the lake water.Even during this period of time, the tribesmen went to the salt lake to mine the salt rocks by the lake every day, but they failed to attract the giant tortoise ashore.You know, for the sake of convenience, they all use big hammers to mine salt rocks, and the sound is not very low.

In addition to the ten slaves, Wang Hao also brought another member of the tribe there.

The main function of this clansman is to take care of the ten slaves and be in charge of overseeing the work.

As for Wang Hao, the reason why he went there was because he was very curious about the giant tortoise and wanted to see it with his own eyes again. Although he had seen it before, he was too far away that time and didn't know much about the strength of the giant tortoise.

The next afternoon, Wang Hao and the others rushed to the salt lake.

Since it is called a lake, the area of ​​the salt lake is quite large.

At least Wang Hao couldn't see the other side of the lake from one side of the lake.

To the east of the salt lake is a rolling mountain range.

Among the two straight cliffs, a small river about ten meters wide brings water into the lake.

The cliff stretches out from the mountains, from high to low, and when it reaches the lake, there is only a height of about ten meters left.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Wang Hao brought a bucket of water up from the river below the cliff with a rope and a wooden bucket. He tasted it and found no salty taste. After a systematic appraisal, the river water also had no salt.

What Wang Hao couldn't figure out was that there was no salt in the river, so where did the salt in the lake come from.Moreover, why has the salinity in the lake not decreased due to the dilution of the river water for so many years.

To the west of the Great Lake, there is a swamp-like muddy land.The environment there is dangerous, any piece of seemingly safe ground may turn into a quagmire if stepped on, and then swallow people up.

Therefore, like a cliff, it cannot pass through people.

Therefore, the only place in Wangcun where salt can be mined is this small area in the south.

This is why, in just a few months, Wangcun was able to clean up the salt rocks scattered by the lake.

Because of the obstruction of the terrain, they couldn't get through the cliff and the lake on the other side of the mud.

It may be due to luck that Wang Hao found a very suitable location for tunnel digging when he came to Salt Lake that day.

This place is not far from the salt lake, about 300 meters.

There is a large pit the size of a pond.After observation, Wang Hao suspected that the big crater was smashed out by a meteorite.
