Chapter 78
They actually found an orc cub in the deep mountains, and it was a snake clan that they had never seen before. Yu Sui didn't know whether it was their luck or the cub's luck.
"Luckily we found it, otherwise it would have been discovered and eaten by a monster before it woke up in the spring."
Xu shook the snake in his hand, his face full of disapproval of the little cub's naughty behavior.
"Then what should we do? Should we take him with us or look for his tribe?"
Yu Sui was still a little nervous, but worried about the cub, so he asked.
Xu also frowned and looked a little embarrassed. It would take time to find the red viper clan, and in winter the snake clan should hibernate in a secret place, which made the search more difficult for them.
After thinking about it, he still didn't know what to do, so he and Yu Sui looked at Qi together.
Receiving the inquiring glances from the two, Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take her on the road first. We'll see if we meet any of his tribesmen along the way. If not, we'll take her back to the tribe first. When the weather warms up, let her lead the way."
Yu Sui and Xu both nodded in agreement. This was indeed the most reliable method.
Even though he knew it was an orc, Yu Sui could only try not to be too scared, but he still didn't want to stay with the snake, so he let Xu take the little snake with him. Knowing that snakes were afraid of the cold, Yu Sui tremblingly wrapped it with a piece of animal skin.
Several people returned to the place where they had been before and picked up the fruits. Qi took the luggage and Yu Sui, while Xu carried a large amount of fruits and the little snake on his back, and set off on his journey.
Although they did not stop to play, the trip allowed Yu Sui to gain a lot of knowledge and eat many different fruits and monsters, which was quite interesting for him.
Of course, there was also the reason that he didn't have to work hard. Apart from cooking, when Yu Sui got tired of looking at the scenery on Qi's back, he would just lie down on his back and sleep with his legs up in the air. There were also fruits prepared for him by the two of them. His happiness index was much higher than when he was on a tour group before.
After walking out of the huge mountain range where the Sky-Devouring Python was, the road became much flatter, the temperature was higher than before, and the thickness of the snow was visibly decreasing.
Even if we occasionally encountered forests and mountains, they were not as large as before, and most of the places we passed through became open.
Finally, after running for several days, Yu Sui stood up on the back of the big snow wolf and could see the blue sea. He could also faintly hear the sound of waves hitting the shore.
"We've arrived at the seaside!"
Yu Sui stood up and cheered, saying that the journey had been so long, but they had finally reached their destination.
The fishy smell of the sea drifted over with the wind, and the closer it got, the clearer the smell became. Yu Sui lived inland in his previous life. Although he went to the beach several times later, he always had a special yearning for the sea in his heart.
This coastline is at the junction of two forces. Because the division is unclear, both sides do not want to cause war, so the personnel sent to guard it are not very close.
The smuggled human mercenaries also entered the Fantasy Continent from such a place, and they naturally chose to refine salt in such a place that could avoid the eyes of both sides.
Although the temperature near the coast here is not as cold as that in the tribe and there is no snow, the winter sea breeze is unbearable for most people.
Yu Sui and his two companions needed to stay here for a few days, so they naturally had to find a place to shelter from the wind. They found a high rock and built a simple animal skin tent behind it.
Despite this, the sea breeze still caused the animal skin tent to shake constantly.
Before setting off, Yu Sui brought a lot of coal with him, but he was reluctant to use it along the way.
He thought that coal was more durable than firewood, and taking it with him would save him a lot of trouble.
This time when they came out to refine salt, they didn't have time to dry the salt on the beach, so they could only boil the salt in a large iron pot. Coal and firewood were both necessary.
At this time, Yu Sui couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had met the Tu tribe. He had an iron pot that could be used to boil salt. Otherwise, using clay pots would only take more time. Maybe the salt would not be extracted before several clay pots exploded.
Yu Sui lay on top of the reef and watched the white waves crashing against the shore, which was spectacular.
After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help feeling dizzy. He couldn't imagine how those sea beastmen lived in the sea. They were cold even wearing such thick clothes on the shore, so it must be even colder under the sea.
Could this be the evolution of life? Yu Sui had already returned his biology textbook to his teacher, and he wondered uncertainly, his heart filled with awe for nature.
He ran back to the tent. The little snake he picked up on the road was rolled up with animal skin and put aside. Although he liked to tease Yu Sui, he put the little snake in the corner after knowing that Yu Sui was afraid of snakes.
Yu Sui ran into the tent happily, "Let's go pick up shells! Oh, and boil the sea water first."
It is important to do the work first. They first filled a ceramic jar with sea water. After it settled for a while, they poured the sea water on top into a large iron pot and poured out the impurities at the bottom.
Boiling salt is a very time-consuming job. Qi found some firewood, mixed it with coal, and lit it, then began to slowly boil the salt.
With the capacity of the large iron pot they brought, it would take several hours to dry it out, and this time was just right for them to go fishing.
In my previous life, when I was traveling, the beach was so crowded that it was difficult to pick up a small shell. I could only watch the locals going to the beach through the Internet.
Now that he finally had the chance, Yu Sui excitedly rushed to the beach.
It is the nature of cubs to love playing. Qi looked at his back helplessly and slowly followed him.
Xu raised his hands and rushed down cheering, ran into the sea, not afraid of his cold feet, and splashed in the water.
If the beast form really looks like a husky, Yu Sui secretly complained in his heart. The sea water is cold, and it is fortunate that the adult beastmen are strong, otherwise they would be frozen to death at this temperature. Especially in order not to get his boots wet, Xu went in barefoot.
This place is sparsely populated, and there are many creatures on the beach, and even many large shells lying on the rocks.
Yu Sui picked up an uneven shell that looked like a washbasin and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like an oyster, so he pried it open with the sharp claws on his index finger.
He was originally worried that such a large oyster might be too old, but when he opened the hard shell, the plump and tender oyster meat almost popped out, shaking in his hand.
Although he never liked eating raw food, and had never even tried the famous raw pickled food, Yu Sui couldn't help swallowing his saliva when looking at the plump oyster meat.
This was the first time he had seen such plump and tender oysters. It was no exaggeration to say that the oysters had fat caps and were so big in size. It was truly a paradise for seafood lovers.
There were oysters of this size all around the reefs. Yu Sui stuffed his arms full, put the oysters next to the fire, and steamed more than a dozen of them in a big iron pot.
Seafood does not need to be steamed for too long. This oyster is big, so I steamed it for a short while. I couldn't resist prying one open because of the fresh smell. I sucked the juice inside and it was so delicious that it almost made my eyebrows drop.
