Persimmon Orange Apple Pear

"The priest is not good!"

The old priest put away the animal skin and said angrily, "Why are you shouting?"

"Salt..Salt Mountain..."

Hearing the word "Yanshan", the old priest had a hunch that something was wrong and asked quickly, "What happened to Yanshan?"

"Half of the salt mountain suddenly disappeared!"

"What!"

The old priest stood up with his staff in hand, and a burst of strength burst out from his thin and hunched body, and he ran quickly towards the salt mountain.

When we arrived at the salt mountain, the back of the mountain, which originally seemed to have no end in sight, had been hollowed out, so we could see the end.

"What exactly is going on!"

The old priest was furious and pounded the ground with his cane.

"priest."

When Bao Qiu led the hunting team to the scene, he was also horrified to see that more than half of the salt mountain was missing.

When the old priest saw the salt stones that Bao Qiu and the others were holding, his head buzzed.

What was lost was his ability to think, and his mind was filled with "Punishment from the Beast God".

The old priest trembled and pointed at the salt stones held by the hunting team, "Did you snatch these salt stones from the Mu tribe?"

When Bao Qiu heard the priest's question, he suddenly thought of a possibility. He lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Yes..."

The old priest felt regretful. He leaned on his walking stick and said regretfully to the half-empty salt mountain, "It's the punishment of the Beast God... The punishment of the Beast God..."

When Mang Lin arrived, he heard the old priest muttering about punishment, the beast god...

"what happened?"

The old priest looked at the salt stone in Bao Qiu's arms and signaled with his eyes.

Manglin thought of the time when Baoqiu led a hunting team out, and they brought back a lot of salt stones.

"Did you steal these salt rocks from the Mu tribe?"

Bao Qiu clenched his fists, full of regret, "Yes."

"boom".

Mang Lin punched Bao Qiu in the face, causing Bao Qiu's head to tilt and his teeth to become loose.

"Who told you to go?"

At this time, Lang Yu also realized that perhaps the disappearance of the salt mountain was related to their robbery of the salt stone from the Mu tribe, and he quickly stood up and said, "Chief, I asked Bao Qiu to go..."

Mang Lin glanced coldly at Bao Qiu's hunting team and ordered: "Tie up all of Bao Qiu's hunting team, cripple their limbs, and send them to the cannibals!"

The old priest frowned slightly, "Chief, what we need to do now is how to calm the Beast God down..."

"What I am doing now is to appease the Beast God."

Mang Lin felt that he had trusted the old priest's words too much today, which led to the current situation of the Salt Department.

If Bao Qiu hadn't asked Mangshan to attack the Mu tribe, Mangshan wouldn't be in its current state, hanging on by a thread.

If the old priest had not stopped him from attacking the Wood Tribe, there would have been no punishment from the Beast God, causing the Salt Tribe to lose most of their salt mountains.

"Priest, you are too old." Mang Lin's eyes were fierce and his attitude was tough. "Go back and rest."

The old priest felt his scalp tingling under the snake's cold gaze.

He could even feel that if he was not a priest, he would definitely be one more person who would have his hands and feet cut off and sent to the cannibals.

"If you don't want the Beast God to continue to be angry, send all these salt stones back to the Wood Tribe."

After the old priest finished speaking, he left with the help of his cane.

——

[Host, you said before that we only needed to fill half of the warehouse, but now the warehouse is full, will there be any problems? ]

This was the first time the system had done such a thing and it was not familiar with the business. It trembled with fear after finishing it and kept chasing Shen Nong to ask questions all the way.

Shen Nong's head hurt from the question, so he asked back, "How long has it been since Yanshan was moved? Have you received any warnings?"

The system checked the mailbox, "No."

"That's it, it means the rules allow it." Shen Nong said with a sigh, "Look at your little guts, how can you follow me to do big things in the future?"

system:..

However, it is not a big deal to keep so much salt stone in the warehouse taking up space. Shen Nong asked the system to find a place to hide it and transport part of it out first.

He just took advantage of the Beast God's guidance to lead people to look for it, so that everyone in the tribe would not have to worry about dying due to lack of salt in the winter.

"By the way, how is the Salt Department doing now? Is he frightened?"

The system was speechless. Half of the salt mountain suddenly disappeared. How could the primitive people who didn't know the truth not be scared?

The system exaggerated and replied to Shen Nong, "It's not just frightening, it's simply frightening to death. The tribe leader almost killed the priest."

Shen Nong said indifferently: "That old man is obviously a shrewd man who is playing dumb. There will be trouble between the chief of the Salt Tribe and the priest later."

The system whispered, "Who can be as smart as you? You are the one who is so scary."

Shen Nong was silent, "I heard it."

The system froze for a moment, not daring to say anything. After placing the salt stone, the map was directly displayed on the screen.

Shen Nong glanced at the map, stopped, and said seriously: "Don't go back to the tribe yet. The Beast God is guiding me to find the salt mountain belonging to the Wood Tribe."

Everyone in the Wood Tribe: ! !

The surprise came too quickly, and everyone who was originally depressed was instantly revived.

"Priest! Where is he!"

"follow me."

Shen Nong followed the map displayed by the system and walked into the dense forest.

Passing by many grasses and bushes, Shen Nong vaguely heard the sound of water.

Hu Xiao felt the place was more and more familiar as he walked, and then he remembered that they had been unable to hunt for prey before, so they had come here to pick berries with the gathering team.

"Priest, if we go any further, there will be a cliff and no way forward."

The little red dot on the screen was just ahead. There was no need for the system to lie to him. "Continue."

Hu Xiao scratched his head and followed Shen Nong obediently.

The waterfall rushes down, making a huge sound.

Shen Nong stood on the cliff, looking at the red dot on the screen, which was still right in front of him.

"Don't tell me you hid the salt mountain behind the waterfall."

[How about it, isn't it surprising? No one would have expected this! You are definitely not afraid of being discovered. ]

The system silently praised its own intelligence.

Shen Nong couldn't help but snorted, "Stupid thing."

[Host, how can you attack with your whole body! ]

[I worked so hard to dig such a big hole to store salt rocks for you. It would be fine if you didn't praise me, but why are you scolding me? ]

System grievances.

Shen Nong said helplessly: "If we don't build the suspension bridge, no one will find out what's behind the waterfall, but the tribe won't be able to go to the other side to get salt. After building the suspension bridge, isn't it telling others that there is something behind the waterfall?"

The system is speechless. Yes, that’s right.

[Then I will change to another place? ]

"Need not."

Shen Nong mobilized his special abilities. There were already many trees and vines here, and he only needed a small amount of energy to mobilize the many vines to build a simple suspension bridge.

The system was silent for a moment after seeing this, and then it was a little bit unbelievable, "Host, you are actually very satisfied with this place. You scolded me on purpose, right? Just because I said you are terrible!"

Shen Nong avoided answering, "Noisy."

【Answer me quickly! 】

"It suddenly occurred to me that all products have a complaint function. Does your system have this function?"

The system hesitated, [Of course not. Digging holes is tiring, I want to play Candy Crush and take a break...]

Shen Nong just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there really was a complaint function.

Rabbit Wind jumped onto the suspension bridge and asked, "Priest, is the salt mountain behind the waterfall?"

The people of the Wood Tribe knew that their priests could use vines. When a vine bridge suddenly appeared, leading directly to the waterfall, they more or less guessed the reason.

"Well, let's go check it out."

After Shen Nong finished speaking, Tu Feng jumped out directly, followed closely by Hu Xiao.

The suspension bridge swayed violently back and forth, but the people on the bridge did not slow down at all and rushed directly into the waterfall.

After a while, Tufeng came out from behind the waterfall, wet and shouting, "Found it!"

The system really digs as large as possible while ensuring that the mountain does not collapse.

Black bears can enter without any hindrance.

However, after it stepped onto the suspension bridge, it was unwilling to move. It sat in the middle of the bridge and started swinging on the swing.

The bear can fly!

The black bear opened its arms, faced the wind, and had a lot of fun. It was thinking about bringing its cubs to play with it next time.

Hu Xiao and the others were blocked by the black bear at the other side of the waterfall. Even though they shouted so loudly that it reached the sky, the black bear still failed to pay attention to them.

The black bear was so absorbed in playing that he didn't even notice the smile on Shen Nong's lips growing deeper and deeper.

Shen Nong built another suspension bridge so that Hu Xiao and the others could come back.

The next second, there was a "snap" sound, the vine broke, and the black bear fell down with a dazed face.

Finally, his ankles were tied with vines and he was hung upside down on the cliff for a long time.

It was not until Hu Xiao and the others moved enough salt rocks that Shen Nong pulled the black bear out from the cliff.

The black bear covered his head, felt dizzy, and vomited towards the bottom of the cliff.

Shen Nong asked Black Bear with a gentle smile, "Will you dare to do it again next time?"

The black bear's huge body stiffened instantly, and its head shook like a rattle. It howled, "Don't dare, don't dare, the bear will never dare to do that again!"

On the way back, Black Bear followed behind obediently, holding the salt stones that Hu Xiao and the others had brought.

Looking at the trees that were trampled by the black bear, Shen Nong tapped the system, "Is there any pill in the mall that can shrink you, and then take an antidote or something to restore your size?"

After checking the mall, the system replied, "There are no pills, but there are spells related to the world of cultivation."

Spell?

Shen Nong was a little curious, "Can I use it?"

[Your supernatural powers and the true qi of the immortal world have the same origin, so you can definitely use them, but you need some infrastructure. ]

Shen Nong counted the required price sent by the system, a total of six digits.

Looking at the infrastructure points that were about to be cleared, Shen Nong calmly shut down the system.

We still need three level seven orcs to complete mission three.

Shen Nong stared at Mao Yun and several level six orcs. It was time to let them roll up.

Mao Yun and the others shuddered suddenly, as if a terrifying gaze was looking at them.

When the group returned to the Wood Tribe, Yang Lei came up to them and said, "Priest, the Salt Tribe just arrived."

Shen Nong frowned, "What are they doing here?"

Yang Lei was also very confused, "They gave us a lot of salt rocks."

Shen Nong raised his eyebrows. This was a pleasant surprise. He had never thought that the Ministry of Salt would send the salt stones back.

It seems that the system did not lie to him. The Salt Department was scared by him this time.

"It's okay, just take it when it's delivered." Shen Nong pointed to the pile of salt rocks in Black Bear's arms, "The ones sent by the Salt Department and the ones we brought will all be made into fine salt."

Yang Lei looked at the salt rock that Black Bear was holding. The amount was no less than what the Salt Department had sent. "Why did the Salt Department give us so much salt rock?"

In the past, not to mention salt stone, even salt soil was scarce.

Tu Feng put his arm on Yang Lei's shoulder and said with a smile: "Who said that this is the salt stone from the Salt Department?"

Yang Lei was confused. "Besides the Salt Department, is there any other place where I can exchange salt stone?"

Never heard of it.

"Of course there is." Tu Feng's heart surged when he thought that the Mu tribe had its own salt mountain. He said excitedly: "This is the salt mountain of our Mu tribe. The priest was guided by the beast god and led us to find it!"

"What!"

Not only Yang Lei, but all the guards around were shocked by Tu Feng's words.

"Will our tribe have its own salt mountain in the future?"

Yang Dian also came over and said excitedly: "Do we no longer have to exchange things for salt from the Salt Department?"

Tu Feng raised his eyebrows, "Of course! Next time we move salt, you can go with us. The water will freeze in the winter, making it difficult to get in. We have to move more."

Yang Lei and others didn’t know what the connection was between moving salt and freezing water. They were immersed in the great joy that the tribe owned a salt mountain.

Shen Nong warned them appropriately, "There are too few orc warriors in the tribe now, so don't let the matter of Yanshan spread."

Hearing this, everyone solemnly promised, “Yes, Priest!”

——

The problem of salt stone was solved, and the Mu tribe began to prepare for winter.

In order to better preserve the giant beast meat and prevent it from rotting, Shen Nong led the tribe to pickle the meat.

At the beginning, many tribesmen were reluctant to use the salt and only sprinkled a little bit.

Seeing that there were only a few grains of salt in a large jar of meat, Shen Nong had to emphasize that if there was not enough salt, the meat would go bad quickly and they would have to starve during the winter.

This did not convince the tribesmen to add more salt, as they had no food to eat before because of the rotten meat.

Now as long as we have meat to eat, we don’t care whether it is bad or not.

In the end, Shen Nong had no choice but to reveal that the tribe had its own salt mountain and there was no need to worry about a shortage of salt.

Only then did the tribesmen decide to sprinkle more salt on the meat.

Shen Nong also ordered the tribe not to let anyone spread the news that there was a salt mountain in the tribe. Anyone who told it would be punished by the Beast God.

The tribesmen, who were already afraid to speak much, became even more afraid when they heard about the punishment from the Beast God.

I don’t dare to mention the word “Yanshan” when I speak.

..

The old man's wrinkled hands paused as he sprinkled a handful of coarse salt made from salt stone into the pot-bellied clay pot.

The people beside him saw the old man stop and asked quickly, "Why don't you move? The priest said that the meat should be marinated soon, otherwise it will go bad."

"This is all our own meat. Don't you want to drink a few more bowls of hot broth in winter?"

The old man sniffed, "Of course I want to drink more hot broth. I was just thinking, it would be better if the priest came to the tribe earlier."

"Hey, why are you talking about this?" The man worked non-stop, spreading salt quickly and evenly. "Hurry up and finish salting your meat, and go help tan the hides. It will be better for everyone to have soft hides to wear in the winter than anything else."

The old man looked at the dozen or so jars of pickled meat placed at his feet. These were enough to keep him from starving throughout the winter.

He wiped away the tears from his eyes and continued to marinate the meat. "Those little ones will definitely not be able to marinate the meat well. I have to help them after I finish this."

The meat is almost marinated and most of the salt stone has been used.

The tribe decided to go to the waterfall to get some more salt rocks in case of emergency.

Maocao was very smart. He guessed that the hunting team and the guard team were going to the legendary salt mountain of the Mu tribe.

Ever since he knew that there was a salt mountain in the tribe, Maocao wanted to go and see it.

At this moment he was trying to persuade Hu Xiao to take him to see the salt mountain.

Hu Xiao didn't dare to make a decision and just shut Mao Cao's mouth with the five words "I listen to the priest".

Maocao didn't dare to look for the priest, nor did he dare to follow him secretly.

I had completely given up hope, thinking that I could only see the Salt Mountain after the Autumn Awakening and joining the hunting team.

Unexpectedly, Tudong came running over and handed Maocao a big backpack.

These backpacks were all made by the priests, some large and some small.

In the past, they used large leaves to pack wild vegetables and berries, and the quantity was very small.

Since I got a backpack that I can carry on my back, every time I go out to collect, the amount I collect is countless compared to before.

"I've been looking for you for so long. Hurry up and carry you on your back. Follow the priests and go to the Salt Mountain."

Maocao's eyes lit up, "The collection team is going to the salt mountain this time too?"

"The priest said there are a lot of fruits over there, and asked us to pick them and make some jam and dried fruits." Tu Dong recalled Shen Nong's words. She didn't know much about jam and dried fruits, so she just said, "Anyway, it must be good stuff."

Maocao didn't understand even more. He only knew that he could go to Yanshan, and he jumped up and down excitedly, "That's great!"

——

"Swish, wah, wah."

The huge sound of the waterfall was heart-stirring. Mao Cao looked at the suspension bridge made of vines at his feet, which led directly to the other side of the cliff.

The big fruit tree that he had longed for for a long time was waiting for him just across the cliff.

Maocao never imagined that the priest would ask them to collect fruits from the big fruit tree.

At this moment, the salt mountain is no longer so important in Maocao's heart. His mind is full of the fruits on the other side of the cliff.

Hushan carried the backpack and quickly crossed the cat grass and ran towards the big fruit tree.

He has been craving it for a long time.

By the time Maocao reacted, he was the only one left on the cliff, so he quickly chased after him, "Wait for me! Leave some for me!"

The last time Shen Nong came here, he saw from a distance several large persimmon trees not far from the waterfall, which were now completely red.

He followed the collecting team to the fruit trees and discovered that in addition to persimmon trees, there were also apple trees, pear trees, and orange trees.

Is this some kind of paradise?

However, there are only two or three apples on each apple and pear tree, but there are more orange and persimmon trees.

The fruits on the persimmon tree are ripe and many have fallen to the ground.

These persimmons cannot be made into persimmon cakes, so Shen Nong thought about making some earlier next year to try before the persimmons become soft.

Shen Nong controlled the vines to pick a bright red persimmon, tore off the skin, and took a bite.

The persimmon flesh is soft, sweet and bursting with sweet juice in your mouth.

He finally ate the fruit.

Shen Nong tasted the four kinds of fruits here one by one, and sent the apples and pears directly to the waterfall for washing via vines.

Shen Nong felt that every fruit was delicious after taking a bite.

It tastes no worse than those carefully cultivated in interstellar laboratories.

It stands to reason that plants in primitive times had not yet been domesticated, nor had they been hybridized to produce better varieties.

It shouldn't be this sweet and perfect.

However, it seems that the historical process here cannot be deduced according to the planet where he is.

After all, there were no orcs on his planet in the primitive times.

The members of the collection team also learned how to eat persimmons like Shen Nong, peeling off the soft skin and putting them directly into their mouths.

What is this smell!

The moment Maocao tasted the persimmon, his mind immediately thought of the bowl of sweet water that the priest had given him before.

Sweet. Very sweet.

He had never tasted such sweet fruit.

Shen Nong threw away the peels, wrapped each fruit core with leaves, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

"Pick as many fruits as you can. Clean the cores, wrap them in leaves, and send them to my cave."

"Yes, priest!"
