Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 36 Back home
Cheng Mo, who had decided to teach the Salt Lake Tribe how to get salt, did not waste any time and directly planned to take the people of the Salt Lake Tribe into the mountains.
This time when they entered the mountains, Ban Mu was still leading the way. Hen Yi and Xiong Wu protected Cheng Mo, and the others followed behind. After getting used to it, Ban Mu led everyone to the Land of Divine Punishment according to the same route as last time.
This time, it took less time. They reached the top the next morning. Looking at the sea below the mountain, the orcs of the Salt Lake Tribe went from being confused and uneasy at the beginning to being surprised. They didn't expect that what Xiongwu said was true. There was such a beautiful scenery inside the Land of God's Punishment! What about the delicious crab that Xiongwu mentioned? The other orcs looked at the empty beach expectantly.
As if knowing what the beastmen were thinking, the fierce crow waved his hand and said, "Don't look at them. Crabs only come out at night. If you want to eat crabs, you have to wait until night!"
Hearing this, the other orcs lowered their heads in disappointment. Yan Hai looked at the sea with surprise in his eyes. In his eyes, the sea was salt. With such a large sea, how much salt would there be!
Soon, everyone came to the beach. Cheng Mo and Yan Hai stood together. Ban Mu quietly stood by him and shielded him from the glaring sunlight. Cheng Mo pointed to the beach and said, "I have two methods for you now. The first is to boil salt, and the second is to dry salt."
Yan Hai looked at Cheng Mo in confusion, and Cheng Mo continued, "Boiled salt requires a lot of combustibles, such as tree branches. This method requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the amount of salt obtained is relatively small, but it is fast. Drying salt depends on the sun, which depends on the weather and the location. However, this place is usually windy and sunny, but we don't know if it rains often. This method has a lot of uncertainty, but the amount of salt obtained is large, and of course it takes longer."
Yan Hai is a smart man. His tribe has been trading salt with other tribes for a long time and he knows how great the orcs' demand for salt is. If he had to choose, he would definitely choose the second method, but he was troubled by the issue of time. The consequences of the wildfire were tragic. Nearly half of the orcs in their tribe died. Most of the orcs in their tribe were weak beasts who survived by trading salt. Now their magic stone was about to disappear. With such a small number of people, they would definitely not be able to live like before, so he made a huge decision - to migrate!
As long as they live in the Land of God's Punishment, it will be easier for them to get salt inside the Land of God's Punishment. Moreover, the Land of God's Punishment is difficult to enter, so their safety is more guaranteed. When the time comes, they can let the tribes that need to exchange salt come outside the mountains to exchange salt. Anyway, the tribes that really need salt will not care about this distance.
They were going to Cartaya to exchange salt this time. This was probably their last time to go to Cartaya to exchange salt. Time was a bit tight, and they were afraid that the orcs who were still waiting there could not wait any longer. So Yan Hai decided to boil the salt first to get some salt that could be used on the trading day.
Fortunately, Cheng Mo had a lot of pottery left. He exchanged the remaining pottery for salt with the Salt Lake Tribe. The Salt Lake Tribe used those pottery to cook a lot of salt. The smoke on the beach has not stopped in the past few days. The tribes waiting in Kataya have become more anxious. They can't help but want to go to the Salt Lake Tribe's station to exchange salt. So in the end, a large group of people went to the Salt Lake Tribe's station together...

On the other side, Cheng Mo first returned to the Langya tribe with the items he had exchanged on the trading day. Cheng Lingqu happily threw himself into Cheng Mo's arms, buried his little head in Cheng Mo's arms and rubbed it hard, calling out non-stop: "Dad! Dad! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?"
Cheng Mo hadn't seen Cheng Lingqu for many days. He felt that the child had become darker and thinner. He held Cheng Lingqu's face and looked at it carefully: "I miss my dad so much! The baby isn't acting weird! Isn't he making trouble for Grandpa Bai?"
Xiong Bai came over and said with a smile: "No way! Xiao Lingqu is so well behaved!" He first looked up and down at Cheng Mo and the others, and found that there was no Hen Yi and Xiong Wu among them. He asked with some concern: "Xiao Mo, did you not encounter Xiong Wu and the others?"
Cheng Mo patted Cheng Lingqu's head and signaled him to find Banmu. Cheng Lingqu threw himself on Banmu again. Banmu picked him up and weighed him in his hand for a few times: "You've gained weight." Cheng Lingqu was so angry that he twisted hard in Banmu's hand, like a dehydrated fish!
Cheng Mo ignored the two people fighting behind him, and just walked over to hold Xiong Bo's arm and said, "We met them on the road. They encountered the Salt Lake Tribe who were robbed. Now they are escorting the Salt Lake Tribe to Kataya."
"What?! The Salt Lake Tribe was robbed?!" Xiongwu looked at Cheng Mo in surprise. The Salt Lake Tribe was special, needless to say. The magical salt stone could only be used by the tribe leader of the Salt Lake Tribe. There were many tribes outside who wanted to protect the Salt Lake Tribe. Which tribe was so stupid to rob the Salt Lake Tribe? Did they want to be enemies with other tribes? !
After Cheng Mo told him what happened, Xiong Bai sat in the chair thoughtfully. He had never thought that the salt stone given by the Beast God would shrink and disappear, nor did he expect that any tribe would be so bold as to provoke the Salt Lake Tribe. Although their tribe could get salt by themselves thanks to Cheng Mo's method, there were still too few people in their tribe, and everyone had their own things to do, so they really couldn't assign people to go to the Land of Divine Punishment to get salt.
He thought of his former tribe, which had been invaded by wandering orcs because it was weak. He knew the wickedness of wandering orcs, but he also knew that wandering orcs were not the kind of brainless people who dared to rob the Salt Lake Tribe. So the wandering orcs probably knew that the Salt Lake Tribe was about to lose salt stone, but he didn't know who leaked it? Or were those wandering orcs crazy?
Their Wolf Fang Tribe has always been on good terms with the Salt Lake Tribe because of Xiong Wu's male and female fathers. Perhaps he could consider discussing self-protection with the Salt Lake Tribe. Only when they are strong can they better protect themselves. Xiong Bai thought of his lost tribesmen, and he would never allow anyone to bully their tribe!
Cheng Mo and his companions had just unloaded the items from the cart and were ready to pull the cart to the Land of God's Punishment, because the people of the Salt Lake Tribe had borrowed the cart from them. Unexpectedly, Xiong Bai also wanted to go with them, but Xiong Bai was old and had difficulty moving, and he couldn't sit on the orc's back, so in the end, Xiong Bai sat on the cart and was pulled over by them.
Xiong Bai, who was riding a cart for the first time, curiously touched here and there, and soon he was dying. Cheng Mo looked at Xiong Bai worriedly: "High Priest, how are you?"
Xiongbai waved his hands in pain and said, "My... butt hurts..."
Their carts are all made of wood, and the shockproof treatment is not very good. Even if a thick layer of hay is placed on the cart, it is still uncomfortable. Moreover, the roads here are pristine, and the people sitting on the cart suffer the most.
If it wasn't for meeting Yan Hai, Xiong Bo wouldn't want to follow along and suffer! Xiong Bo, touching his butt, wanted to cry but had no tears. In this way, they arrived at the outskirts of the God Punishment Tribe. When Xiong Bo got out of the car, his legs were shaking like they were his own.
Yan Hai was very surprised to see Xiong Bai coming over. He hadn't seen this old friend since the forest fire.
