Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 35 Salt Lake Tribe
Just as they walked to the area of divine punishment, they saw Hen Yi and his group of people coming towards them. Xiong Tai recognized at a glance that the people following Hen Yi were from the Salt Lake Tribe. Although the Salt Lake Tribe was not strong, it controlled the salt trade and had always been on good terms with other tribes. It received the protection of many tribes and usually led a good life. Why were they in such a mess this time?
Looking at the three people in front, the orcs of the Salt Lake Tribe stopped at a distance with great vigilance and did not come over. Instead, they saw the Xiongwu of Banmu and others and ran over happily: "Xiongtai, why are you back?"
The murderer looked him up and down before saying, "After we changed our things, we couldn't wait for you so we thought we could come back first. Maybe we could meet you on the way. But what's going on with you?"
Xiongwu looked at the large group behind him, pulled Xiongtai to Cheng Mo and whispered, "We met people from the Salt Lake Tribe on the way. They said that the salt they were going to take to Cartaya was robbed by wandering orcs. They didn't have anything to exchange for it, and they were afraid that the orcs in Cartaya were still waiting for them, so they thought of going over to tell the people from other tribes not to wait any longer."
Cheng Mo looked at the group of wounded orcs opposite. Each of them looked exhausted. They were alert when they saw Banmu and the others just now. They only let down their guard after the fierce crow came over, but still stood behind and did not come over.
The old man in the lead was handsome even though he had a head full of white hair. However, his brows were full of wrinkles, as if he was worried. Cheng Mo felt that he looked familiar and couldn't help but look at him. The old man noticed that Cheng Mo was looking at them and gave Cheng Mo a friendly smile, and Cheng Mo also smiled back.
Xiongtai asked Xiongwu, "Do you want to go back with us now?"
Xiongwu shook his head and said, "I want to escort them to Kataya." He looked up at Cheng Mo again and said hesitantly, "Cheng Mo, the chief of the Salt Lake Tribe is my grandfather. He told me that there was a problem with the salt stone in their tribe. The salt produced was getting less and less. He was worried whether the salt would be enough for the people of other tribes to survive. I... I discussed with Hen Yi and told them that the seawater in the Land of Divine Punishment could be turned into salt... But I didn't tell them how it was turned!"
Cheng Mo looked at Xiong Wu and the old man with wide eyes, and then he realized that the familiar feeling just now was because Xiong Wu had a few more wrinkles on his face, which was the old man's appearance! However, these two people are from the Langya tribe and the Salt Lake tribe respectively. Are they actually relatives? ! Xiong Tai was also a little curious, he didn't know about this either!
Xiongwu smiled a little embarrassedly: "My female father is from the Salt Lake Tribe. She fell in love with my male father in Kataya, and then followed him to the Wolf Fang Tribe, and later gave birth to me."
Cheng Mo nodded. He didn't care if people knew that the seawater in the Land of Divine Punishment could turn into salt. The sea was there anyway and it couldn't escape. What's more, the fierce crow didn't tell anyone how to turn it into salt.
"Ding Dong! Side quest: Teach the Salt Lake Tribe how to dry salt!" 079's voice appeared again.
Cheng Mo muttered quietly: "I failed all four of the main quests, and you gave me another side quest, right?"
"Ding Dong! Main mission four has been completed, please don't worry." 079's voice was as cold as ever.
"Huh? When did I finish it? You didn't notify me?" Cheng Mo asked in surprise.
"It was completed last night while you were sleeping. I notified you." 079 said.
"Okay, so what is my reward?" Cheng Mo also knew that when Ban Mu was by his side, he always slept very soundly, so it was possible that he didn't hear the notification last night.
"The rewards will be distributed later. Please wait patiently." When 079 mentioned distributing the rewards, his voice sounded like a different person.
"Tsk!" Cheng Mo rolled his eyes in displeasure. Xiong Wu didn't understand what he meant by that, but judging from his expression, he must be unhappy. He glanced at Ban Mu uneasily, not sure whether Cheng Mo was unhappy because he told others about the salt formation of seawater or because of his connection with the Salt Lake Tribe.
Ban Mu didn't care. In his eyes, he agreed with whatever Cheng Mo decided.
"You said that the Salt Lake Tribe has no salt now. How disappointed would those people who are still in Kataya be to know this news! Ask them if they are willing to go into the Land of Divine Punishment to get salt?" Cheng Mo patted Xiongwu's shoulder soothingly, causing Banmu to glare at Xiongwu angrily.
When Xiongwu heard this, he knew that Cheng Mo was planning to teach the Salt Lake Tribe to get salt from the Land of Divine Punishment. He didn't care about Banmu's murderous gaze and hurried to the leading old man to report the good news.
Sure enough, the old man looked at Cheng Mo in surprise, then walked over and said in a friendly manner: "Hello, I am Yan Hai, the chief of the Salt Lake Tribe. I just heard from Xiao Wu that I am very grateful for your help." After that, the old man bowed to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo quickly stepped aside, helped the old man up and said: "Chief Yan, you are too polite. I am not only doing this for you, but also for the other orcs who are still waiting in Kataya."
Yan Hai straightened up and smiled: "This Lord Cheng Mo..."
Cheng Mo waved his hands quickly: "I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it! Patriarch Yan, just call me Xiao Mo."
Yan Hai shook his head solemnly, "As it should be. We, the Salt Lake Tribe, were instructed by the Beast God to trade salt with other tribes. However, the wildfire a few reincarnation months ago forced us to abandon the sacred stone and leave that place. When the fire was extinguished, we went back to look for the sacred stone, only to find that it was getting smaller and smaller. It would probably not be able to produce salt in a short time. We have been very anxious and have asked the Beast God for instructions countless times, but to no avail. The last time we asked, the Beast God told us that we could meet the person who gave salt on the way to Kataya. I think he was referring to you, right?"
Cheng Mo didn't expect that there was such a story behind this. He felt more and more that there was something unsimplified between the Beast God and the system. There seemed to be a hand behind the scenes pushing all this, but he didn't know who it was. He couldn't get anything out of 079, as it was the best at pretending to be dead. At least for now, the person behind the scenes had no ill will towards him. Basically, every task he had done was to help these orcs and improve their lives. Now he could only take one step at a time.
"079, who are you working for?" Even though Cheng Mo knew he wouldn't get anything out of the question, he still asked 079.
"We have no ill intentions, please rest assured." A voice appeared. Even though it was still the cold voice of 079, Cheng Mo was still keenly aware that the person speaking was not 079, but probably the person behind the scenes. He remembered that there were several times when 079's tone suddenly changed while they were chatting. Maybe at that time it was this person who was using 079 to talk to him.
"I hope so." Cheng Mo closed his eyes: "I will do those tasks as long as they do not involve my bottom line."
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. The heaven of this world thanks you." The voice of the person behind the scenes became a little cheerful.
"But..." Cheng Mo opened his eyes and said with great momentum: "Can you guys not be so slow when handing out rewards? Can you not hand out another book? Or stop letting the book hit me on the head? It hurts, you know?"
"Uh... I'm so sorry! I will teach 079 a lesson!" the voice promised in a panic.
"Well, fine then, give me the reward for Main Mission Four." Cheng Mo sighed and laughed secretly in his heart. Now this hateful little system is going to be criticized!
