Chapter 238 Primitive Beast World Cubs 13

As dawn broke, a new day began, the sun rose as usual, and the continent was bathed in sunlight.

When Shen Ci got up, she found that the wolf cub was gone. When she went out of the cave, she saw that there was no cub, only a wolf cub in its full form, which was silver all over, except for the tips of its ears and limbs which were slightly black.

Shen Ci was surprised. Could it be that he could completely restore his form? She remembered that the wolf clan did not accept or care about Cang Ye because he could not change his form at will and could not digest raw meat.

It seems the Marrow Cleansing Pill has completely changed his physique. He's been eating meat every day for the past few days and is full at every meal. Cang Ye's small body is absorbing the necessary nutrients to the maximum extent.

The little wolf cub, small in stature but resembling a large cat, was fluttering around chasing butterflies in the open space outside the cave, looking quite pleased with itself.

Sunshine, butterflies, and a little wolf combine to create a picture that makes people smile involuntarily—a picture of such beauty and tranquility.

"Awoo!"

Seeing Shen Ci standing at the door, Cang Ye Butterfly stopped chasing and ran happily to Shen Ci's side!

Unlike a little wolf, he looked like a puppy. Shen Ci squatted down and patted his little head, then gently tickled his chin with both hands.

No small animal can resist this massage. Cang Ye immediately collapsed into her hands, letting Shen Ci's hands cup his cheeks and knead them.

After playing with the wolf cubs for a while, Shen Ci realized she still had work to do. She didn't know when winter would come, but she needed to store enough food before winter arrived.

"Sweetie, do you know what salty tastes like?"

Do you know where there is salty water, mud, rocks, or something else?

Also, have you ever seen a long, thin sheep that licks stones?

Shen Ci tried his best to explain the concept of saltiness to Cangye in a way that he might be able to understand. Unexpectedly, Cangye thought about it and then nodded.

"I know what saltiness is!"

"Mother, come with me!"

Cangye is such an impatient child; he took off running like the wind!

"Hey, slow down, wait for me!"

Shen Ci cried out helplessly, "Wolves have four legs, but I only have two! How can I keep up?" She hurried back to the cave, grabbed the bamboo basket that the system had rewarded her with yesterday, the bamboo basket that could never be filled, and released the bamboo shoots inside after conducting experiments.

Now, the basket is empty, and it's very light.

Carrying a basket, Shen Ci followed after them. If there was anything she needed to ask the locals, she would have to ask them. She was unfamiliar with the area, and there was no sign of where the salt was on the map.

Salt is a processed product and cannot be eaten directly, so it is not marked on the map.

Cang Ye himself was having a great time running. He was bathed in the morning light, the wind was in his ears, and the sun was warm on his body. He had never felt so satisfied and happy before.

He felt strong all over, with no pain or discomfort anywhere, and his stomach felt comfortable. No one from his tribe was being mean to him. This was the feeling of freedom.

In high spirits, he ran faster and faster, then suddenly slammed on the brakes! His two feet scraped a small dent in the ground!

Oh no! Where is Mother?!

Cang Ye turned around blankly, but there was no one there! He was so focused on running fast that he was enjoying the feeling of running through the woods and flowers that he completely forgot about his mother!

The frightened wolf cub quickly turned back and hurried on its way, following the scent all the way back, and finally found its mother picking fruit by the roadside.

Shen Ci was standing under a tree picking fruit, with a basket slung over her arm. The trees here were all very thick and large, and the fruit they bore was also very big. She had already tried it.

No matter how many fruits she picked and put into the basket, the basket would only show the appearance of having a few fruits in it. And the most amazing thing is that no matter how much she put in, the weight of the basket always remained at a certain level.

If you keep it looking like it should have the right weight, isn't that what a space is all about?

It's simply an essential item for stockpiling supplies. With this basket that can never be filled, they can store any amount of resources in the forest!

"You're back? Are you tired? Want some fruit?"

Shen Ci asked gently, which instantly put Cang Ye, who had been terrified and anxious the whole way, at ease. His mother didn't blame him for running far away; instead, she was concerned about whether he was tired.

No, I'm not tired.

Mother, I ran too fast and forgot…

Cang Ye said, circling around Shen Ci's feet in a fawning manner, its tail wagging constantly.

"It's okay, of course you can run. Look, you're back now."

This continent is vast; how can Mother keep you always by her side?

Let's go, let's go to the place you mentioned.

Shen Ci patted his head, not blaming him. Hearing this, Cangye became happy again! Mother is better than all wolves!

This time, he knew to run slower. Whenever Shen Ci saw some food by the roadside, he would stop and pick some that he could use, since the basket wouldn't feel heavy to carry.

At this point, the little wolf cub would no longer run around with his head down without looking where he was going. Instead, when Shen Ci was picking things up, he would either help or play nearby, and he would no longer disappear in a flash.

"We've arrived! This is the place!"

The elders in our clan bring us here every now and then.

Cangye looked at a pool of water in the distance and said that there were several animals drinking water by the pool, including deer, cattle and sheep. The species resources of this continent are really too rich!

Animals also need to replenish salt. Some prey in their diet contain inorganic salts, which is one way to supplement their diet. Another way is to lick salty soil, rocks, or water.

When you can't find salt in the wild, you can observe animal tracks. In specific places, you might find minerals containing salt.

Cang Ye trotted up and howled at the animals that were drinking water. Even a small wolf cub is still a wolf, and this howl scared the animals away. After all, wolves can be considered their natural enemies.

Cang Ye transformed into human form as if seeking credit, and waved to Chen Ci.

Shen Ci stepped forward and took a look. It was a pool of water. There was a layer of white frost on the surface of the soil around the pool, and the pool itself seemed to have a shell. There were very few plants around the pool.

Touching this soil, it felt very sticky and heavy, which is typical of saline soil. There is a layer of white salt frost or salt crust on the surface.

This type of soil is hard, has a poor compacted structure, and very poor aeration and water permeability. It is impossible for many plants to grow around it; only some salt-tolerant plants will grow.

The area surrounding this pool perfectly matches this description.

Soil salinization inhibits crop growth and degrades the land, leaving the surface almost bare with very little vegetation.
