"But... we don't have crystals." Ayun looked at Bai Yueyue and Long Hao with tears in her eyes.

Crystals are extremely precious and rare in the beast world. Only very wealthy tribes have crystals to use. The Beast Tribe, for example, couldn't even afford crystals. In the beginning, they couldn't even get enough food to eat. Only under Bai Yueyue's leadership did things get better.

"But Madam Yueyue, isn't saltwort also salty? Erxiong ate a lot, why is it still not working?" Xiwen couldn't help but ask.

"The salt content of saltwort is too low." Bai Yueyue shook her head.

Although Bai Yueyue used saltgrass to cook meals for the orcs in the tribe many times, saltgrass is a grass after all, and the salt content in it is pitifully small.

Although salty soil is the main way for orcs to replenish salt, they need to eat a lot of it to be effective. But soil is very unpalatable after all, and the cubs are delicate and almost don't like to eat it, so excessive lack of salt can cost them their lives.

No wonder Bai Yueyue saw that most of the cubs in the tribe looked pale and skinny after eating meat.

"Long Hao, you just said there is a sea here. I have a way to go to the beach and get salt directly." Bai Yueyue just wanted to tell Long Hao that she wanted to go to the beach to get salt.

With the orcs' physique, the sea salt can basically be eaten after filtering out impurities.

"You want to get salt from the sea?" Long Hao frowned slightly.

"Yes, you know?" Bai Yueyue was a little surprised that Long Hao actually knew that salt could be extracted from sea water.

Bai Yueyue looked at the people present; everyone's expression seemed a little strange.

"Madam Yueyue, don't you know? The seaside is occupied by the fox tribe, and other tribes are not allowed to approach. All orcs cannot easily get salt from the sea water. If we want to buy salt, we can only go to the orc market and exchange with the fox tribe." Xiwen said.

"Ah?" Bai Yueyue felt that this was totally off the mark. Wasn't this the legendary capital monopoly market? This fox tribe was too unkind!

"The fox tribe is one of the strongest tribes in the forest, and they have a close relationship with the giant ape tribe. With them occupying the seaside, no other tribe can approach." Long Hao raised his hand and placed it on Bai Yueyue's head.

The two major tribes, the Gigantic Ape Tribe and the Fox Tribe, are in collusion with each other. The Beast Tribe has fewer members and their combat capability is not very strong. Long Hao has no way to deal with this.

"And we don't have any crystals at all. My poor Second Bear, what should we do..." As Ayun spoke, tears were about to flow out again. Low-level orcs had no means to obtain crystals.

Bai Yueyue's expression became more and more solemn. Erxiong was too young, and he was suffering from mineral deficiency. There were no herbal medicines that could cure him. If he couldn't replenish salt in time, it would be really dangerous.

But she had no choice for the moment, and could only touch Erxiong's head with her little hand again and again.

"System, is there any salt in the Space Mall?"

[No, the mall only provides tools, not things that can be eaten directly. ]

Bai Yueyue's face was suddenly filled with worry.

Long Hao couldn't bear to see Bai Yueyue's worried look, and slowly said, "I have the crystal here."

Long Hao's sudden words drew everyone's attention. Long Hao turned around, rummaged around on the back of the stone bed for a while, and then took out a small animal skin bag. The small animal skin bag was heavy and looked full.

"There are fifty crystals in it. I originally wanted to keep them for you in the future, but Er Xiong is in an emergency now, so use them first." Long Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know how long he had been saving these crystals. He was afraid that if he died accidentally in the future, he could leave something for Bai Yueyue. But seeing that Bai Yueyue was so worried about Erxiong, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Ah Yun was stunned for a moment, and the next second he knelt on the ground and shook his head desperately: "No, Lord Long Hao! You protected us in the Beast Tribe, how can we use your crystal stone again!"

"Yueyue, these crystals belong to you now, you can use them as you please. Salt is very expensive, I don't know how much these crystals can be exchanged for." Long Hao did not respond to Ayun's words. Salt was precious and important. It could not only save the two bears, but also benefit the entire tribe.

Protecting the tribesmen was the leader's duty, and Long Hao did not think there was anything wrong with it. Moreover, every time the tribe hunted, he always had the priority, so it was a win-win situation.

"No matter what, we can't just watch the two bears die. Let's go to the orc market and take a look." Bai Yueyue stood up.

Bai Yueyue already had an idea in her mind. She planned to go to the Orc market to check the cards. Since salt could be exchanged for crystals, other things could also be exchanged. Once she figured out the operating model of the Orc market, she could also lead the tribe to earn crystals.

"Mrs. Yueyue..." Ayun was so moved that she was speechless and could only wipe away her tears one after another.

"The orc market is far away. You are pregnant, so you should rest in the tribe. I can take a few people there." Long Hao said, holding Bai Yueyue's shoulder.

"I went to the Orc market not only to buy salt, but also to see if there was anything else I could use. I'm a fifth-level orc now, so it's no problem for me to travel." Bai Yueyue grinned, revealing two sharp little fangs.

"...Okay, since you want to go, I'll carry you." Long Hao looked back at his back. Although the wound had not healed completely, he could temporarily cover it with dragon scales to make Yueyue sit more comfortably.

-

Having made up their minds, Bai Yueyue and Long Hao prepared to set off with a few clever orcs.

The orc market is far away from the tribe of the Orcs, and the orc group is even larger, so there might be some danger. Bai Yueyue decided to make some handy and light weapons to carry with her.

A hand crossbow is a good choice.

Bai Yueyue exchanged several crossbows and some crossbow arrows in the system space, and equipped them with bone knives, so that everyone had self-defense weapons.

"Madam Yueyue, Lord Long Hao, you can go ahead. I will take care of the tribe." Qian Che lowered his head and did not dare to look at Bai Yueyue even once.

Long Hao turned around and turned into a giant dragon, crawling on the ground, and considerately placed a piece of animal skin on his back for Bai Yueyue to cushion. Bai Yueyue turned on it, and it was like falling into a big Simmons bed.

After Bai Yueyue firmly grasped her dragon horn, Long Hao let out a low roar, then soared into the air and flew towards the depths of the forest. The orcs on the ground all transformed into beast forms and followed closely behind.

——Half a day passed

The group passed through dense forests and climbed over two mountains.

"We're almost there. The Orc Market is at the foot of the mountain ahead." Long Hao turned his head and spoke with his mouth opening and closing.

Bai Yueyue squinted her eyes and could see many small black dots moving at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

When she got closer, Bai Yueyue was instantly stunned by the scene in front of her!

In the huge orc market, there were countless orc vendors. In front of them were animal skins, on which were placed all kinds of things - meat, mushrooms, various minerals...

It has everything you need!
