Original War

Chapter 460

At first glance, this salty land looks like a snowfield, and most of the ground is covered with white.

There are some shallow pits on the ground, which are caused by the melting of snow after falling and gathering together.

On the snow-white ground, a number of salt flowers emerged from the ground like corals. At the center of each salt flower, the color was darker or lighter, or red or blue. At first glance, it looked like a fairyland. However, everyone who knows this place shuns it.

Although there is salt everywhere here, the salt is poisonous. Those who have eaten it and the animals that have licked it are not spared. Therefore, for a long time, this place was recognized as a dangerous place. Whoever enters will die. Some people even said that this is the cemetery of salt beasts. Will be punished. This is a demonized zone.

It wasn’t until someone walked into this salt land and discovered the salt mine that this dead land came back to life.

Kakaka——

A slight clicking sound came from the hollow shallow pit.

Shao Xuan saw that an orange-yellow crystal column emerged from the shallow pit, looking like a crystal-like delicate texture, crystal clear. The crystal column is like a seedling emerging from the ground, growing up and bifurcating. As it grows upwards, the surface of the crystal column changes from transparent to translucent, and then is covered by a layer of hoarfrost. When it grows to nearly half a person’s height and stops growing upwards, it is the same as the rest of the salt ground. The salt flowers in the place are almost there, but the color is slightly different, and it looks faintly orange.

This is just one of the salt flowers that “opened”. In the other shallow pits, there were other salt flowers emerging, ranging in color from green to red, and even black.

Although such a scene is beautiful, it reminds of the legends here before, but it makes the people I see have a kind of creepy feeling.

“Let’s go, don’t eat them.” Zhengluo said.

Stepping on the salt ground, I heard a clear clicking sound, which is the sound made by the salt layer stepping on the ground, which is much louder than that on the snow. Under the feet are large and small salt crystals that are trampled on and cracked, lumpy or flakes, the large ones are trampled on the small ones, and the small ones are trampled into powder.

The team tried their best to walk to higher ground, avoiding those shallow pits. The leather boots were soaked with water stains. When they dried, salt would precipitate. Those were also inedible and were poisonous.

“There are footprints!” Duokang pointed in one direction.

The footprints left on the salt ground will remain for a period of time, even if the temperature rises, it will not melt as quickly as snow.

“There are probably more than two hundred people, no more than three hundred, and the remaining time is no more than four days.” Wacha is already familiar with this salty land and can roughly judge it based on the traces on the ground.

“It’s probably a new group of people from the Liehu tribe. It’s not like they were left by the two tribes.” Susha said after following up to see.

The people of the Liehu tribe will be more tidy when they leave, but the Sen tribe is messier than these, so these footprints will not be left by the two tribes.

“No rest tonight, keep going!” Zheng Luo shouted.

Although according to past habits, in order to maintain sufficient physical strength to meet the enemy, they will definitely stop to rest and repair before meeting with the enemy. Even the previous few days on the road, they also stopped and rested at night, but after listening to Shao After Xuan’s words, Zheng Luo decided to change his previous practice.

There is no hot broth, no rice porridge to warm the stomach. When you are hungry, you can only eat the frozen meat jerky. What you can smell in the air is the salty atmosphere with a salty taste, and you can hear it in your ears. In addition to the howl of the wind, it is the sound of footsteps on the salt ground.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong this night, and there was no snow. Compared to the previous few days, it was much calmer.

This kind of calmness can easily make people slack off, but Zhengluo kept urging them to keep everyone’s nerves tense. They didn’t complain. They only knew that everything would be fine to listen to the leader, and the leader would never harm them.

At the same time, in the salt mine.

Several people from the Fiery Fox tribe and the Sen tribe in thick furs were negotiating in the salt cave.

This is the salt cave of the Liehu tribe.

The salt under the salt mine is layered, one layer of rock, one layer of salt mine, another layer of rock, and then the salt mine. However, they like to continue digging down the first layer, and they finally dug out something not long ago, but they didn’t expect the surprise to be so big.

After finally thinking about it, they chose to be their alliance with the Sen tribe. Shanfeng’s temperament is too weird, the people of the Liehu tribe look down on them, and the relationship between the two tribes of Yanjiao and Taihe is close, one knows, The other one is not far away, so after excluding these three, it is the Sen tribe. Although the people of the Sen tribe sometimes look arrogant, when it comes to the fire crystals, the people of the Sen tribe will be smarter and temporarily put away their arrogance.

At this time, the six high-level leaders of the two tribes gathered together, and among them, there were a few fire crystals with big eyes.

“This was dug out today, and there are more fire crystals below. It’s just that the more you go down, the harder it is to dig. It may not be possible to dig it out for 30 to 50 days. I am afraid that Yanjiao and Taihe will be Come here.” said a man with a rough face wearing brown animal skins, hair casually dangled. This is a member of the Sen tribe.

“As far as we know, the people from Shanfeng may unite with Yanjiao and the River Tai, and they may come here to grab mines. Although we use salt to recruit some people, we must guard against them. People from Yanjiao, It’s not so easy to pass.” Liehu’s leader said.

“In such weather, they will come too?” The people of the Sen tribe doubted.

“If they really came in the snow, they must have known the secret of Huojing!” The Liehu leader showed a brutal expression on his face. They have divided half of them to the Sen tribe, and it hurts for a long time. If they don’t want to guard against the three tribes, why should they divide the benefits out? ! They don’t allow anyone to join in to share!

In this regard, the people of the Sen tribe have the same idea.

Gucka——

A weird cry came from outside the cave, and the sound was flying towards this side.

A member of the Sen tribe raised his hand, and a gray shadow screamed and stopped on his arm.

It was a bird, which looked like a bird of prey, but it was not very big.

The bird shook its hair as if shivering, and then barked at the man from the Sen tribe.

Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu-

The expression of the person in the Sen tribe changed, “The people from Taihe came to the salt mine, and they are almost at the salt field now. They really know the secret of the fire crystal!!!”

“The people from Taihe have already come, and the people from Yanjiao must be not far away. The people from the mountain wind must have detected the fire crystal last time, so they joined them together. Estimated by time, they will arrive at the salt mine in the future.” The leader of Liehu said after several calculations in his heart.

“The day after tomorrow?” The people of the Sen tribe muttered, “In three days, I am afraid that the sky will change. The previous plan has to be changed.”

Speaking of this fierce fox, the people are also depressed. They had arranged several plans long ago, but they were disturbed by sudden changes in the weather. The people of the Sen tribe have always been very sensitive to changes in the weather. The changes in various grasses and trees in the mountains and forests predict the changes in climate. Say that there will be changes within three days, or even worse, that will definitely happen.

“Fighting hard may not be able to stop them, especially the arrogant people in Yanjiao.” The leader of Liehu is assessing the impact that the three-party cooperation over there can bring to them.

“What about it?” The Sen tribe asked with a frown.

A woman with long narrow eyes sitting next to the leader of Lie Fox flashed brightly in her eyes and smiled, “It’s not impossible.”

The others all looked at the woman together.

A woman dressed in flaming red fur raised her hand and stroked a white fox in her arms, “The sky will change, but it won’t be three days. Within two days, great changes will happen!”

As if responding to the woman’s words, the fox in her arms raised his head and whimpered.

“Two days? Are you sure? How do you know?” The people of the Sen tribe doubted.

“It doesn’t matter how you know it, but I’m sure that an abnormality will occur within two days.” The woman’s tone was calm and confident in own words.

“Even if there are changes within two days, how can you solve it?”

“The method is actually simple.” The woman said in a hurry, “The sky changes and manpower is unstoppable. Salt cave.”

“What do you mean…” The others already understood. The salt mines are only those opened by their five tribes, and the place of refuge is of course only the salt caves of their five tribes.

“But if there is no salt cave, you say, the people from Shanfeng, Yanjiao and Tahe are here, once the sky changes, where can they avoid?”

“Destroy their salt cave!” The eyes of the others burst into light.

“On the side of the River Tai, we will arrive the next day soon. The Yanjiao and Shanfeng must be similar. We will destroy the salt caves tomorrow. When they come, we only need to guard the own cave, the salt cave. It’s easy to defend and hard to attack, and they are blocked outside and the sky changes. Even if they want to destroy our salt cave, they don’t have so much time.” said the leader of Liehu.

“Not bad.” The woman narrowed her eyes with a smile and nodded in agreement.

“It’s just that the salt caves of their three tribes have been destroyed. How should the people you recruited be resettled?” the person from the Sen tribe asked.

“Get out of the salt cave on the side of your Sen tribe, and let them go in to hide when the time comes. We can send someone from both sides to look after it. The important thing is to keep it here.” The woman said.

It is not impossible to temporarily give up the own salt cave. For the sake of the fire crystal, the people of the Sen tribe can temporarily put down the salt mine. “But what if the people from the three tribes of Shanfeng and their three tribes seize the salt cave over there?”

“What about seizing? If they can seize it, their deaths and injuries will not be small, so why are we afraid?” the woman said. Three of the five salt caves were destroyed, and they were heavily guarded. Even if the last salt cave was seized, most of the people who died would be temporary helpers recruited by them with salt. The people of the fiery fox, can still consume the fighting power of the three tribes of Shanfeng, why not do it?

A good decision was made here, but they didn’t know that there was one who played the cards out of common sense and was on his way all night.
