Salt Priest Cave.

Mang Lin's face was filled with anger. "Priest, it was you who said that the Wood Tribe should have no salt in the winter. The Beast God will make the Wood Tribe pay the price for me."

Mang Lin was furious when he thought that the Mu tribe not only had salt stone, but also enough salt stone to last them for several winters.

"Are these few broken jars worth so much salt stone from the Salt Department?"

The old priest was dissatisfied with Mang Lin's shouting attitude, and also had a sullen face, "What do you know? This pottery jar is not an ordinary thing. I have only seen it in the place where the high priest of Beast City lives."

Mang Lin was slightly stunned. He suddenly remembered that when the priest first came to the tribe, he seemed to have asked the tribesmen to make stone jars for a while.

He said he wanted to make a jar that only Beast City could have.

At that time, the priests only needed to polish those old orcs who had no strength or those orcs who had not awakened.

He was young and weak at the time, which just met the priest's requirements, so he polished a lot of stone jars.

But every time the priest seemed not very satisfied.

Mang Lin asked uncertainly: "Is this the 'stone jar' that the priest wanted to make at that time?"

The old priest nodded and said, "When I was in Beast City, I could get a lot of things by exchanging this kind of jar with other places."

"So many that a seventh-level orc warrior would need to transform and carry them."

The old priest stared at the pottery jar with burning eyes, as if he saw a sunny road to turn the Salt Department into a second Beast City. "With the method of making this pottery jar, the Salt Department will definitely become stronger."

"Manglin, what we need to do now is to make these pottery jars, then organize people, take the pottery jars, and go out to trade. Instead of getting angry over a little salt stone."

Mang Lin took a deep breath and went outside to trade..

What kind of world would that be?

The old priest was very dissatisfied with being tricked by Shen Nong.

He said: "Even though the Mu tribe took so much salt stone, they still have to be alive to take it back."

Mang Lin wanted to ask the old priest what to do, but the old priest waved him away, "Beast God, some words will anger the Beast God if spoken."

Mang Lin really couldn't understand this old priest. If he said it out loud, he would anger others, but if he did it, he wouldn't anger others?

But the old priest didn't say anything, so it was useless for him to ask.

——

"Wolf Rain, are you back from hunting?"

Ma Cao from the guard team saw Lang Yu carrying two deer on his shoulders and said with a malicious smile: "A female orc wants to go into the cave with you?"

"You think everyone is like you. Until now, there has been no female orc willing to live in your cave during the winter."

Lang Yu shook his shoulders and raised his head. "In a few days, there will be no more deer to hunt in the forest. If you don't have deer blood to drink, come to me and I can give you some."

"so good?"

Ma Cao was a little bit unconvinced.

Lang Yu wanted to nod, but after a pause he said, "Exchange it with animal skins."

Ma Cao muttered, "There are so few hides in the tribe this year, do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Lang Yu coughed and asked, "Hasn't the people from the Wood Tribe come to exchange the animal skins yet?"

Speaking of this Ma Cao's face darkened, and his tone was not very good, "He just left not long ago."

Although Lang Yu was a dumb person, he was not so dumb that he could not understand the expressions on people's faces. He asked curiously, "What do you mean by that expression? Didn't they bring animal skins to exchange for salt?"

Ma Cao gritted his teeth in anger when he thought of the giant beast carrying a mountain of salt rocks.

"Not only did they not bring any animal skins to exchange for salt, they also asked giant beasts to carry away a lot of our salt rocks! The amount is as much as the other tribes combined."

"Impossible, the behemoth will not obey."

Lang Yu refuted Ma Cao's words without thinking. Even their Yan tribe couldn't make the giant beast obedient, let alone the Mu tribe.

Ma Cao knew what Lang Yu was thinking. He didn't believe it until he saw the giant beast with his own eyes.

"The beast is so big, how could I be wrong and lie to you?" Ma Cao gestured with a particularly large circle, "Such a large piece of salt stone is like a small stone in the beast's hand."

Realizing that the Wood Tribe had used some unknown method to drive the giant beast, Lang Yu asked anxiously, "Don't the priests care about moving so much salt?"

"It was the priest who took them to the salt mountain to move it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Langyu ran straight into the tribe. Ma Cao looked at the deer that Langyu had thrown to the ground and shouted, "Hey! Where are you going? We don't want the deer anymore!"

Lang Yu didn't even turn his head, "Send me to the cave!"

The tall figure made the cave darker. After Lang Yu bent down and went in, he restrained his temper and bowed his head respectfully.

"priest."

The old priest held in his arms the pottery jar that Shen Nong had brought earlier, touching it from time to time with no expression on his face.

But it was not difficult to tell from his gentle movements that he loved it very much.

"Who pissed you off? Why do you look so unhappy?"

The old priest didn't care about Lang Yu's answer. He could guess why the other party came.

He glanced and motioned Langyu to look at the corner.

"Lift up the hide and take a look."

Even though Lang Yu had many questions in his mind, he did not dare to disobey the priest.

He obediently followed the old priest's instructions and uncovered the animal skin.

"Stone jar?" Lang Yu glanced at the pattern on the jar and looked at the old priest. "Priest, the pattern on the stone jar is really beautiful."

The Salt Department had never seen such a stone jar before, so Lang Yu asked, "Which tribe brought this?"

"Wood Tribe."

Lang Yu, who originally thought the stone jar was beautiful, suddenly felt that the jar was not that good.

He heard from Mangcao that the Mu tribe took away a lot of salt rocks from the Yan tribe.

Could it be that we are using these stone jars in front of us?

It is not difficult for them to polish stone jars. Even if there are beautiful patterns on them, so what? Their priests can also draw these.

Lang Yu really didn't understand, "Priest, just these few stone jars, how could the Wood Tribe exchange so much salt stone?"

The old priest did not answer Lang Yu's words, but only said to him: "Hold it up and have a look."

Lang Yu picked up the "stone jar" and almost dropped it because he used too much force.

wrong.

The weight of the "stone jar" is wrong.

"priest.."

Lang Yu looked at the old priest in confusion.

The old priest recalled the name Shen Nong said, "This is a clay pot."

Pottery jar?

Lang Yu looked at the jar in his hand. Although it was better than the stone jar...

But Lang Yu still felt that it was not cost-effective to exchange so much salt stones for a few broken jars.

"Priest, I heard that the Mu tribe took away a lot of salt stones." Lang Yu glanced at the pottery jars on the ground, "Are these jars too few?"

The old priest said in a deep voice: "The Wood Tribe concealed the existence of the giant beast, and they stole the salt from the Salt Tribe."

Lang Yu put down the pottery jar in his hand and said angrily: "The cunning people of the Wood Tribe! I will send people to chase them now!"

"Beast God, this is a transaction completed under the witness of the Beast God." The old priest sighed, feeling helpless, "I can't order the warriors of the tribe to recover the salt stone that was defrauded."

So let it go like that?

When had their Salt Department ever been cheated by such a small tribe?

Humph, the priest promised the Beast God, but he didn’t agree.

Lang Yu had an idea in his mind and said goodbye to the old priest respectfully.

After leaving the priest's cave, Lang Yu went straight to Bao Qiu's cave and found that there was no one inside.

He pulled someone over and asked, "Have you seen Bao Qiu?"

"Oh, he went to see Mangshan."

Mangshan was seriously injured in the beast tide. Even the priest said that only the Beast God could come and save him.

Now Mangshan can only lie in the cave and wait for death.

Lang Yu arrived at the cave in Mangshan and heard some banging sounds coming from inside.

Before he could go in, a figure flew out of the cave.

"boom!"

Dust rose from the ground, and Langyu ran towards the fallen person.

"Leopard Autumn!"

Bao Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine."

Lang Yu frowned and looked towards the cave, "Is the clan leader in there?"

"Um."

Lang Yu stretched out his hand, trying to pull Bao Qiu up.

Bao Qiu grabbed the other person's hand, stood up, and turned away without caring about the dust on his body.

Lang Yu looked at the cave in Mang Mountain and sighed, then caught up with Bao Qiu.

Seeing Bao Qiu's serious expression and his eyebrows as ridged as a hill, Lang Yu said helplessly: "Although Mangshan is the tribe leader's younger brother, it is inevitable for an orc warrior to encounter danger when he goes out..."

"do not talk."

Bao Qiu stopped Lang Yu from saying anything else and asked him, "What do you want from me?"

Lang Yu curled his lips and swallowed the words he was about to say.

He told Bao Qiu about how the priest was deceived by the Wood Tribe and exchanged a bunch of useless "stone jars" for a lot of salt rocks from the Salt Tribe.

"I came to you because I want you to go with me to chase the Wood Tribe and get the salt back from the Salt Tribe."

Bao Qiu covered his heart which was still aching. The tribe leader had really kicked him hard.

Because he asked Mangshan to attack the Mu tribe, as a result, Mangshan is now lying in the cave waiting to die.

Bao Qiu knew that the tribe leader was blaming him...

Mangshan was injured in the duel. The duel between orcs is a matter of life and death.

The entire Salt Tribe cannot do anything to the Wood Tribe, otherwise they will be hated by the Beast God and spurned by the warriors.

If he could help the Salt Tribe recover the salt rocks that were defrauded by the Wood Tribe, the chieftain might not be so angry.

Without waiting for Bao Qiu's answer, Lang Yu continued to chatter, "Bao Qiu, I think the priest is getting old."

Lang Yu thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Not as wise as before."

Otherwise, how could the Mu tribe be able to cheat so much salt stone?

Bao Qiu did not respond to Lang Yu's words, but strode forward and said, "Call our hunting team and go out together."

Lang Yu's eyes lit up. At first he just wanted Bao Qiu to go with him.

He knew that he couldn't defeat the beast alone, but he didn't expect Bao Qiu to bring their hunting team along.

Then the Mu tribe will definitely be beaten to a pulp!

"I'll go call them right away!"

The hunting team quickly assembled, with a total of twenty people under Bao Qiu's command.

Ma Cao stared at the hunting team until they disappeared, then went to report to the old priest.

"Priest! Baoqiu and Langyu are leading the hunting team out!"

"You don't need to watch from now on, go down."

After the people left, the old priest took out an animal skin.

On the animal skin was a diagram of the pottery making process drawn by Shen Nong using green grass. The old priest stared at the diagram and snorted coldly.

But it was not he who asked to send people after them. The Mu tribe was not capable of guarding the salt stone on their own, and even the Beast God could not blame him.

——

Bao Qiu knew that there was a giant beast in the Mu tribe and did not dare to take it lightly.

Along the way, they were reminded to hide their whereabouts and not to be discovered by the people of the Mu tribe.

After Hu Xiao turned around for the third time, he said to Shen Nong: "Priest, someone is following us."

Shen Nong had also noticed this a long time ago, "I knew that the Salt Department would not let us go so easily."

Hu Xiao asked: "What should we do now?"

Shen Nong's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light. This was something that the Salt Department had delivered to her doorstep.

"Be careful to protect yourself when you fight later. If they try to grab the salt rocks, give them to them."

Hu Xiao was puzzled and asked, "Ah? Give it to them? Then we won't have salt stone to eat in the winter?"

Shen Nong urged a vine to hit Hu Xiao's head, feeling quite disappointed with him. "Priest, when have I ever caused the tribe to suffer any loss? Just do as I say."

When the Mu tribe reached the edge of a big river, a huge and swift leopard ran out of the jungle behind them.

Hu Xiao reacted very quickly, transformed quickly and stopped the leopard.

As the two beasts were balancing each other, more and more orc warriors rushed out of the jungle.

Shen Nong was protected by Ze behind him. Looking at the familiar faces one by one, he didn't even have a chance to attack.

The black bear ran forward holding a pile of salt stones, drawing away the main firepower of the Salt Tribe orc warriors.

As soon as the giant wolf's sharp teeth touched the black bear's fur, the black bear screamed and scattered salt stones all over the ground.

The giant wolf was stunned. Are his teeth so powerful now?

Before the giant wolf could think about it, huge blocks of salt fell from the sky.

If you get hit by this, you will definitely get a bloody head.

The giant wolf dodged flexibly in the salt and stone rain, but was still hit.

If he could spare his attention and look upwards, he would easily see that it was the black bear that was deliberately throwing salt stones at the giant wolf's head.

And they only pick the big ones to smash.

Tufeng pretended to be frightened and ran away, dropping salt stones as he jumped on them.

A giant deer from the Salt Department was chasing closely, but the antlers that were prepared for attack at the beginning were now stuck with a bunch of salt stones, all of which were picked up by Tu Feng.

As he picked up the items, he laughed in his heart at the Mu tribe for being a group of cowardly orcs who were afraid of death.

After the Mu tribe worked hard to cooperate with the Salt Tribe to send all the salt stones out, Bao Qiu did not want to fight anymore.

He led the hunting team back carrying a lot of salt stones.

After the Yanbu people left, Shen Nong began to educate Black Bear.

"You acted so badly. What are you going to scream when they haven't even started biting you? What if you get caught?"

The black bear roared and refuted Shen Nong.

It's afraid of pain!

Shen Nong didn't understand what the black bear's cry meant, but it didn't matter anyway.

It didn't stop him from training the black bear, "You're still barking! If the wolf from the Salt Department wasn't so stupid, you would have been exposed long ago!"

..

Lu Ye held Yan Shi in his arms and laughed, "The cowards of the Mu tribe, they were so scared that they ran around before we even started to exert any strength."

Lang Yu said disdainfully: "I thought that beast was very powerful. But just like the Wood Tribe, it is useless. I couldn't even hold the salt stone I bit."

"Hahaha that's right, the Wood Tribe is useless, and the behemoths with them are just as useless."

Listening to the tribesmen's discussion, Bao Qiu always felt that something was wrong. Everything was going too smoothly.

This is completely different from the Wood Tribe they encountered during the beast tide.

But now the salt stone is in their hands, maybe he was just overthinking it.

When Bao Qiu led the hunting team out, many people from the Salt Department saw him.

When they came back with a large pile of salt rocks, many onlookers were attracted, asking, "Why are you carrying so much salt rocks back?"

Lang Yu said excitedly: "These are all salt stones that were cheated by the Mu tribe. Bao Qiu led us to get them all back."

Few people in the Salt Tribe were unaware of the giant black bear brought by the Wood Tribe. Naturally, they also saw them carrying a lot of salt stones away when they left.

There were so many salt rocks that they were enough for the Salt Department to eat for the entire winter.

But before the people in the Salt Department had time to rejoice, the guards from the Salt Mountain came running over in panic.

When passing by Baoqiu, Baoqiu stopped him and asked, "What happened?"

The guards' faces turned pale with fear. They looked at the salt rocks in their arms, their lips trembling, "The salt... the salt mountain... is gone..."
