Quick Travel to the Clouds

As summer approaches, the tribe begins to collect and store food in preparation for winter.

A portion of the wild vegetables and fruits picked and the wild animals hunted would be dried and stored.

In the second month of summer, the tribe would go out to exchange salt. The place of exchange was the Sun Tribe, which was half a month away from their tribe.

Yun Chu was also in the salt exchange team.

Because Yun Chu has the Fire Iron Flying Ants, they can help carry things when the time comes.

A total of fifteen people were selected to go out and exchange things.

After getting ready, the team set off.

This is the first time for everyone to sit on the back of the Fire Iron Flying Ant, and the experience is very different.

"This speed is faster than my speed in beast form." Kang said.

Tian said, "At this speed, it will take less than half a month to reach the Sun Tribe."

Gu looked at Yun Chu and said, "Yun, your pet is really good."

"Of course, if it's not good, I won't raise it."

As they were chatting, it was noon. At noon they went down to the ground and ate the dry food they had prepared.

After eating, they continued on their way.

They did not stop until dark, because they could close their eyes and rest on the backs of the fire iron flying ants.

The main thing is that they are not in a hurry, so they don’t feel tired at all.

They traveled non-stop like this, and in six days they arrived at the Sun Tribe.

When we arrived at the Sun Tribe, the exchange market was on an open space outside the Sun Tribe.

In addition to them, there were other small tribes that also came to the Sun Tribe to exchange salt.

Kang and his companions took the dried meat and prepared to go to the Sun Tribe to exchange it for salt.

Yun Chu also followed along, wanting to see how the salt was exchanged.

"How do I exchange jerky for salt?" Kang asked.

"Fifty kilograms of dried meat and one kilogram of salt." The people from the Sun Tribe replied.

"Didn't it take thirty kilograms of dried meat to exchange for one kilogram of salt last year? Why does it take fifty kilograms this year?" Kang frowned.

"Salt is hard to mine, so of course the price has to go up. Do you want to change it? If not, get out of the way."

Kang looked at the others, and Yun Chu said directly: "Let's discuss it first."

They walked to a deserted place, and Kang said, "Fifty kilograms for one kilogram of salt. The dried meat we brought can't even be exchanged for a few kilograms of salt. The originally estimated amount of salt was enough for the tribe, but now it's half the amount of salt. How can it be enough?"

Yun Chu said, "Let's go find the salt ourselves."

Sea salt is hard to find, but salt lakes and salt mines are easy to find. If she can't find them, she can just scatter the salt in her space somewhere and then take the people in the tribe to get it.

"With the Fire Iron Flying Ants, we can definitely find it."

Seeing that Yun Chu was so determined, everyone boldly agreed.

Yun Chu and others carried the dried meat away. After they were far away, they left on the Fire Iron Flying Ants.

Yun Chu released more fire iron flying ants and asked them to look for salt.

Seeing so many fire iron flying ants, Kang and his companions were all stunned.

Gu: "Yun, how many flying ants do you have? Isn't this a bit too many?"

"This female insect lays eggs every day, so the number of flying ants is increasing."

"There are so many of them. How much food will be consumed?" Kang said.

"They will find food by themselves, and I just need to feed the queen flying ants." Moreover, the queen flying ants will not eat ordinary food at all. They only eat spirit stones and fairy crystals.

It is indeed a little difficult to raise, but this fire iron flying ant has protected her so many times, it is a good thing.

Even if it's not easy to raise, she still has to take good care of it.

The more fire ants there are, the better. Three days later, some fire ants sent a message saying that they had found salt.

Yun Chu and others immediately rushed to where the salt was.

They rushed to the salt mines.

Salt is mined by fire ants.

With such a large number of fire-iron flying ants, they quickly dug up the salt mine, and when they dug out the salt, they found salt water.

The brine is extracted and filtered to remove impurities and sediment.

Yun Chu and his friends found some things nearby and made tools to hold water.

Then use linen to filter the brine.

Then comes the salt drying.

After two months of hard work, they obtained several hundred kilograms of fine salt.

With salt, they left.

As for the salt mine, Yun Chu set up a formation to prevent other people from discovering it.

When they returned to the tribe, everyone was very worried, because it was a journey of half a month, why did they take so long to come back?

When Kang and his friends told them that they had mined salt themselves, the people in the tribe were shocked.

When they saw the snow-white salt, they were even more surprised. It was salt.

Isn’t salt coarse and black?

Gu said, "Yun was the one who figured it out. Yun is really smart."

Yun Chu saw everyone looking at her and said, "My mother at home cooks marinated meat. After the water dries up, a thin layer of white salt will be left on the earthenware pot. That's why I thought about how to turn salt water into salt."

Heishi looked very proud, thinking that his cub was so smart.

Shanmu praised: "Yun, not bad, smart and clever."

Shanmu thought for a moment and said, "Yun found so much salt for us. We will never lack salt again. This is a great achievement. Yun, how about you become the priest of the tribe?"

Before Yun Chu could say anything, the people in the tribe agreed.

They admired Yun Chu, who was able to subdue such powerful flying ants and find and refine salt.

This is the perfect candidate for the priest.

As for the fact that Yun Chu was a female priest, they didn't care. They only worshipped strength. As long as she was strong, it didn't matter if she was a woman.

In this way, Yun Chu became the priest of the Black Tribe.

Yun Chu never thought that he would become a priest.

After becoming a priest, Yun Chu felt more guilty.

In order to ensure that the people in the tribe have enough food to eat in the winter, Yun Chu took the Fire Iron Flying Ants to hunt wild beasts.

After a month, Yun Chu returned with a mountain of wild animal carcasses.

Hunting so many ferocious beasts kept the tribe busy for more than a month.

After finishing the work, autumn comes.

As autumn approaches, the fruits begin to ripen and the tribesmen begin to pick them.

Yun Chu asked the Fire Iron Flying Ants to follow the people of the tribe and help them carry things when the time comes. They only need to concentrate on picking.

Yun Chu went alone to a farther place.

Yun Chu found a lot of rice and wheat.

The rice was about 1.2 meters tall, and the rice ears were very large, with each grain being as big as her little finger.

After looking at the scattered rice, Yun Chu collected them.

Like rice, wheat ears are very large, over one and a half meters tall.

There was more wheat than rice, so after harvesting it, Yun Chu returned to the tribe.

The people in the tribe also found and ate these two things. The rice was named golden fruit and the wheat was named thorny fruit.

However, there is very little rice and wheat near their tribe.

After returning to the tribe, Yun Chu showed the rice and wheat he found to the people in the tribe.

"This is the golden fruit, which will be called rice from now on." Yun Chu said while holding the rice ear: "This is the thorny fruit, which will be called wheat from now on." Yun Chu picked up the wheat ear again, "I plan to plant these two things in the spring of next year."

"Planting?" The people in the tribe were confused.

They don't know what planting is; they have no concept of planting.

Yun Chu explained to them what planting was, and after the explanation.

The people in the tribe talked at once.
