I thrived in the primitive tribe

Seeing the "what's wrong with me again?" looks from the others, Lu Yao was speechless. Was it wrong for her to ask so many questions? Lu Yao unconsciously pouted.

Seeing Lu Yaodi's expression, the group immediately realized that they had offended this little devil again.

"Why is Lu Yao pouting so much? Who's been too rude to offend our darling?"

Hearing Da Wu's joke, Lu Yao chuckled.

"Seriously, we're talking about serious matters here~"

"Don't wrong us~ We've always been very serious." The Great Witch winked playfully at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao handed the prepared noodles to Luo Ya, gesturing for him to eat them while they were hot.

“I’m serious, do you know which tribe it is and what its name is?” Lu Yao looked at Luo Ya.

"We'll have to wait until the unconscious person wakes up and ask him. All I know is that they should be a tribe of weak horned dragons. I saw their beast form before."

"Did you see that saltwater lake that attracts the wolves?"

"By the way, Loya, where's the salt you exchanged?" the chief suddenly asked.

“Here,” Loya said, taking down a leather pouch that he had been carrying and handing it to the chief.

Lu Yao also curiously went over to take a look, wanting to know what kind of salt Luo Ya had gone to so much trouble to get back.

"Why does it feel like there's so little?" Lu Yao muttered to herself.

The shaman looked helpless. "This is already a lot; there was even less before." The bag of salt in half-animal skin was displayed in front of everyone.

"How long can this little bit of salt last us?" Lu Yao asked doubtfully.

"If we eat these sparingly, we should be able to get through the cold season," the chief said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"It's because I, as the chief, am incompetent that the people of the tribe have to suffer with me."

Seeing the leader's disappointed look, Lu Yao realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends.

"No way, the chief is already very capable. Look at the life our tribe has now, you are already a very capable leader. I'm not bragging, you are the most capable chief I have ever seen."

"Besides this leader, I haven't seen any other leaders," Lu Yao thought to herself.

Hearing Lu Yao's clearly comforting words, everyone didn't take it seriously and just laughed it off.

"Loya, you haven't answered my question yet."

Luo Ya lifted his face, which was busy slurping noodles, his eyes full of confusion, not remembering what questions Lu Yao had asked him before.

Seeing this, Lu Yao could only repeat it helplessly.

"Did you see that saltwater lake that attracts wolves? Is it big?"

"Oh, I observed that from a distance. It looks alright, not very big, otherwise that tribe wouldn't have been able to expand into it. Why are you asking about this?"

"I think we should be able to extract salt from that salt lake. If that's the case, we won't have to go through all that trouble to exchange for salt."

"Really?" The chief and the high priest were overjoyed.

"It should be pretty close to the truth. It would be great if we could go and take a look," Lu Yao said with certainty.

“That place isn’t too far from us, perhaps we can go and take a look,” the leader said after a moment’s thought.

"What about the wolf pack over there?" the shaman asked, his face full of worry.

"It's alright. As long as we don't confront the wolf pack, we should be fine."

“We’ll try to avoid them when we go there, as long as we don’t get spotted,” Loya said. “Besides, I think the wolves used to live there. If that tribe hadn’t expanded its territory, preventing the wolves from reaching the salt lake for water, they wouldn’t have launched such a large-scale attack. The casualties on both sides must have been considerable.”

Hearing this, Lu Yao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Then after Loya rests, shall we go to the salt lake?" the chieftain said firmly. Thinking of the benefits this would bring to the tribe, he felt the trip was absolutely necessary; he just didn't know if they could learn how to refine salt.

“I want to go too. I need to go and see for myself, to try it out on the spot. If we can really extract salt, then we’ll think of a way to do it.”

"This is too dangerous. Can't you give the method to Loya and the others and let them put it into practice?" The Great Witch said in alarm upon hearing Lu Yao's words.

"It's still uncertain what the situation is with this salt lake. If it can't be used to refine salt, then giving it to Loya and the others won't help. They don't know if it's because their own technology is inadequate and they can't refine salt, or if this salt lake simply can't be used to refine salt at all."

Having said that, the High Priestess had no reason to stop them. She knew the importance of salt to the tribe, and if this problem could be solved, the tribe would be better protected during the cold season.

"Then take more people with you, protect yourselves, and if you find that something is wrong, come back immediately. If that doesn't work, go out and exchange for salt as before."

Seeing the great shaman's worried and anxious face, Lu Yao said coquettishly, "Great shaman, it's okay, they will protect me. I'm the strongest."

"You're so clever and cunning, I hope so..."

After the group finished their conversation, Luo Ya finished his noodles and returned the bowl and chopsticks to Lu Yao with satisfaction.

"Is this a newly developed food? It tastes delicious."

"Yes, this is something the cooking team just came up with. Isn't it delicious? I think it's delicious too." Actually, Lu Yao had been craving noodles one day, so she gave the person cooking some pointers, and they immediately understood and made it. As soon as it was made, Lu Yao couldn't wait and ate two big bowls.

Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, and realizing that it was too late to go hunting, the chief was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"Weren't you planning to go fruit picking? It's not too late now, do you still want to go?"

"Never mind, I'll go when I have time later."

After hearing the shaman's words, the chief was about to leave when Lu Yao stopped him.

"Chief, shouldn't we start building defenses for our tribe? We've already discussed it, but too many things have been postponed. Today, Loya said that the tribe over there was attacked by wolves. I feel we should start preparing now, so we won't be caught off guard by a beast attack."

“You’re right. I’ll make the arrangements today. Your trap and obstacle were pretty good too. I think we can add them together. What do you think?”

"The chief is so clever. I also think it's feasible. This will add another layer of protection to our tribe and make our tribe even safer."

"What is a trap obstacle?" Loya asked, puzzled, not understanding what the two were talking about.

"You'll find out when it's built," Lu Yao said playfully.

Watching the interaction between the two, the chieftain smiled and went out to arrange matters concerning the construction of defensive works for his tribe.

Watching the interaction between the two, the High Priestess felt there was hope for Loya and Luyao. It had been a long time since any beastmen in the tribe had formed couples, and a long time since any new life had been born. She hoped the two could be together.
