From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World
Chapter 118 Salt Mine
Li Mingsheng looked at the ibexes licking the steep rock walls on the cliff and confirmed that his guess was correct and that today's work was not in vain.
"It's here." Li Mingsheng was very excited. He still needed to climb to the top of the cliff to confirm whether there was really salt. Although he was already 80 to 90 percent sure, he still had to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.
"I'll go up and take a look. You guys wait downstairs."
Shouhou and Hebao both tried to stop Li Mingsheng from speaking, and even Dongqing felt that it was inappropriate.
"Chief, this cliff is so steep, it's too dangerous."
"Yes, we can go back to the tribe first and ask Lord Yuqing or Lord Yingkong to come and take a look."
Li Mingsheng knew that they were doing this for his own good, but if he wasn't sure, he might still be worried about it when he returned home tonight.
Since he wanted to go up, he was 90% sure about its safety.
"No need to persuade me anymore. This little cliff is not dangerous to me. Just wait."
After Li Mingsheng finished speaking, he transformed into a beast form neatly.
With its four claws arched, it grabbed the stone wall and quickly jumped up, crawling upwards at a very fast speed.
Skinny Monkey and the others didn't see it clearly. They just saw a huge black shadow quickly jumping out. When they reacted, Li Mingsheng had already climbed halfway.
"The leader's beast form is so majestic!" Dong Qing exclaimed from below. Because he himself had just differentiated not long ago, and his beast form was still a raccoon cat form with very little lethality, he had a natural admiration for the powerful orcs in beast form.
"Hey, don't you think the leader's beast form is weird?"
"It looks like a python-type orc, but it has horns like deer antlers on its head and sharp claws on its abdomen."
After seeing Li Mingsheng’s beast form, the skinny monkey poked the river leopard standing next to him, and his gossip factor emerged again.
This was the first time they noticed the leader's beast form.
"Yeah." This time even the taciturn river leopard responded to the skinny monkey.
"Have you seen this kind of beast before?" The skinny monkey became excited and confirmed with Dong Qing and He Bao.
Hebao shook his head, and Dongqing looked at the skinny monkey with a confused look on his face.
"I guess the leader has mutated into a python!" Dong Qing and He Bao, who had less experience, agreed with the monkey's statement.
The Li Mingsheng they were talking about had successfully climbed to the top of the cliff.
The scene on the cliff made him very excited.
Behind the cliff was a large pit, not too deep but quite large. Li Mingsheng climbed down along the bulge at the edge of the pit.
The pit was filled with white crystals, and it looked as if they had been there for thousands of years. The bottom of the pit was very large and uninhabited, and no living creatures were seen.
He looked at the countless white crystals underneath, picked up a small piece from the ground and licked it with his tongue.
It was indeed the taste of salt. He increased his strength and crushed the white crystal in his hand. He put the white sand in the palm of his hand into his mouth, and it melted in his mouth in a short while.
The salty taste is even better than the sea salt he had dried on the beach before. After thousands of years of fusion, these salt mines no longer have any impurities.
Moreover, looking at the sodium chloride crystals at the bottom of the pit, Li Mingsheng roughly judged that even if it was non-renewable, it would be enough for this continent to consume for hundreds of years, because there were really a lot of them.
What is visible to the naked eye underground is a very thick layer. Not only that, there are crystal protrusions one after another, and the protruding tips alone are enough for their tribe to use for thousands of years.
Li Mingsheng stretched out his claws and grabbed a piece of white crystal with satisfaction, then quickly climbed out from the bottom of the pit.
Li Mingsheng judged that this salt mine should be well salt. These salts have been accumulated, precipitated and reacted chemically for thousands of years to form such a large well salt.
After getting the result he wanted, Li Mingsheng checked around again and found no trace of other living creatures, not even ibexes. They were basically licking the salt produced by the stone walls and had never visited the top of the cliff.
However, going up a mountain is easier than going down, and this was no exception for Li Mingsheng. When he was going down the cliff, he still had some difficulty. He accidentally lost his balance and slid for a short distance, which scared the skinny monkeys below so much that they dared not even breathe.
Afraid of any accidents.
Li Mingsheng was very calm about this. He was just quietly planning how to get the salt, which still had to be done by the Feathered Orcs.
Liming fell to the cliff and turned into a human form. Before returning to the tribe, he repeatedly emphasized that what happened today must not be spread to others.
Especially for the loudmouth Shouhou, Li Mingsheng specifically gave him some instructions, and even used both kindness and force.
Li Mingsheng and the others were in much higher spirits on the way back. Compared to when he came, he was still a little worried, but he felt much more relaxed when he returned.
When it comes to finding salt, it’s like I don’t see the mountain, but the mountain comes to see me.
No wonder there was a poem in his previous life that goes "After dark, there's a new village." Now he finally experienced what it meant to "after dark, there's a new village."
Yanli noticed it as soon as Li Mingsheng entered the tribe. Li Mingsheng and his team came back quite early today, even earlier than the hunting team and the gathering team. Seeing their relaxed look, Yanli knew that they had gained something.
He dropped the cart parts he had been working on for days with other orcs from the tribe and ran towards Li Mingsheng.
"How is it, did you get something?" Yanli's eyes were shining, as if he already knew the answer, but just wanted to confirm it again.
"Of course, look!" Li Mingsheng looked relaxed and put a small animal skin bag into Yanli's palm.
After Yanli opened it, what he saw were white crystals. He carefully broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth.
Because he ate too much, it tasted so salty that he couldn't help but say "Pah, pah, pah".
He was not angry when he was choked, but confirmed with excitement: "Yes, that's it, Brother Li, you are really great!"
As he spoke excitedly, he hugged Li Mingsheng, but before Li Mingsheng could react, he let go.
These days, not only Li Mingsheng was anxious, but Yanli was also anxious, but he could not show it in front of Li Mingsheng. He could only digest it slowly by himself. Now that a big problem of their tribe has been solved, how can he not be happy.
Li Mingsheng looked at Yanli, who was more excited than himself, and smiled dotingly. He was only agitated for a short while before he controlled his emotions. He didn't expect Yanli to be so excited.
Suddenly he felt relieved. He was too impatient a few days ago, and his feeling of disgust also fluctuated.
Since traveling through time, Li Mingsheng's life has been relatively smooth, and he has been able to handle other things with ease, so he couldn't help but show some negative emotions about things he was unsure of in the past few days.
Maybe Li Mingsheng’s emotions were not obvious to the people in the tribe, but to Yanli, who lived with him day and night, Li Mingsheng’s emotions had even affected him.
