Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo came to the salt storage cave together.

All the food and supplies in the tribe were stored in the cave, so that it was convenient for the orcs to get supplies in winter. The cave was cool and the salt would not spoil easily in other seasons.

At this time, many orcs had gathered in the cave. Compared with the ecstasy of yesterday, everyone was frowning today, with gloomy and worried faces.

As soon as the two arrived, they saw the chief questioning a male:

"Wasn't it fine yesterday? Why is the salt so wet today?"

The male had an honest and simple face. When questioned, he answered anxiously, "Chief, I don't know. It was like this when I came to get salt today... It really has nothing to do with me."

An orc on the side comforted him, "Chief, he is the most honest person. He would never do such a thing."

"Yes, Chief, it should be because the cave is too humid and the salt has melted..."

Foxy squeezed in and saw some supplies on the ground in the cave. In one corner, there were several animal skin bags.

At this time, the animal skin bag was empty, and there were pools of liquid on the ground. It looked like the salt melted in the water and flowed to the ground through the gaps in the animal skin.

It was impossible to save it.

"Jiaojiao, you are here too." Lu Mian'er, who was in the group of beastmen, saw her and came to her side with a worried look on her face.

Seeing that it was Lu Mian'er, Hu Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

"Is this all the salt in the tribe?" she asked in a low voice.

Lu Mian'er nodded, "Yes, the only salt left in the tribe is here. It was enough for the females to survive the winter, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, an orc asked,

"Chief, what should we do next?"

"Without salt, the females will get sick!"

"Yes, how can the tribe survive without salt? The beast god is trying to kill our tribe..."

Their voices were full of despair and helplessness. This news was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the tribe. As

soon as this was said, more and more orcs panicked, as if they had foreseen the day of the tribe's demise.

The surrounding sounds were particularly loud in the cave, echoing continuously, making people's ears ache.

The chief raised his hand quickly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way. We have to survive even if the salt is gone. At worst... at worst, we can feed the females with animal blood. As long as they can survive this winter, we can get salt back next year!"

Before the ancestors of the beastmen got salt, they used animal blood to replenish the salt in their bodies. However, females who drank animal blood were weak and sickly. They would almost die after giving birth to their pups. It was even possible that they would die of illness before giving birth to their pups.

That's why they desperately went to the seaside to exchange for salt. This was the only way they knew to get salt. However,

the chief's words were not convincing.

The beasts were quiet for a moment, and then they began to get restless again.

"Chief, females will get sick if they drink animal blood, let alone drink it for a whole winter. Which female can stand it?"

"I don't want to live on animal blood..."

"There are pregnant females in the tribe. They can't drink animal blood. They won't be able to give birth to babies..."

The impatient voices drowned out the voice of the chief.

"Shut up!" Ying Yuan cursed angrily, walked to the chief, and glared at him: "Can you quarrel here and make salt?"

As soon as Ying Yuan opened his mouth, all the animals quieted down and looked at him with fear.

"Chief, why don't I take the supplies to the seaside to exchange for salt when winter comes, so that I can rush back before winter is over."

Ying Yuan turned to look at the chief and suggested with a serious face.

"How can this be done? If you go out in winter, you will freeze to death in the forest." The chief shook his head and rejected his proposal without thinking.

"There is no other way!" Ying Yuan frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want Mian'er to spend the winter drinking animal blood."

The beasts were ashamed when they heard this.

No one wanted their partner to suffer, but they couldn't think of a better way to protect their partner.

The chief was silent for a while.

"I'll go too." At this time, Long Mo walked out from behind Hu Jiaojiao.

He was used to eating animal blood, but the female was delicate, and he didn't want her to eat the smelly animal blood.

Fox Jiaojiao looked at Long Mo worriedly. The winter in the orc world is extremely cold and dangerous. Almost no orcs will go out in winter. This is undoubtedly seeking death.

Thinking of the warning in the dream, Fox Jiaojiao's heart sank.

She thought she could still survive the winter and then find a solution, but she didn't expect that the script didn't want her to live any longer.

She has salt, but if she takes it out directly, it will definitely make everyone suspicious. She might even be regarded as an alien. Orcs are very xenophobic, and she dare not gamble.

"Is there nothing else that can replace salt except beast blood?" Hu Jing, who was standing next to Lu Mian'er, couldn't help muttering.

Hearing this, Fox Jiaojiao had a flash of inspiration.

Yes!

Other things can be used instead!

既然獸人需要吃鹽，那這裏的動物自然也是需要的，她記得像獅子老虎這些動物會啃噬泥土補充鹽分，岩羊會在懸崖峭壁上舔石縫裏的鹽。

泥土、骨質、糞便中都能獲取動物身體所需要的礦物質。

當然，這些方法狐嬌嬌可不敢說出來。

讓他們吃土吃糞，她怕被獸人們揍。

“族長，我還有一個辦法。”狐嬌嬌在獸人群中舉起小手。

一時間，所有獸人都回頭看向她。

"Jiaojiao, what do you have in mind? Tell me now." The tribe leader looked expectant, not doubting what Hu Jiaojiao said. In his eyes, Hu Jiaojiao was the tribe's savior.

Long Mo also looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a sharp gaze.

It seemed that she had become different since he returned to the tribe. She had a layer of mystery about her, and everything she said and did made him feel strange.

"When I was picking fruits before, I saw some wild animals picking fruits from trees to eat, so I tried some. That kind of fruit is also salty. I wonder if it can be used instead of salt."

This is of course a lie.

Salt is a plant on Earth. Animals that can climb trees use it to supplement salt. Even ancient people often pick it to season food.

She has never seen it here before, but most of the plants here are the same as on Earth, just with a slight difference in size and shape. She doesn't believe that there is no similar salt in such a big forest.

"Really? What does the fruit look like? Where did you see it!!"

The chief immediately asked excitedly.

The beastmen around also looked at Fox Jiaojiao expectantly.

If this kind of fruit can be found, the crisis of the tribe can be resolved.

"I don't remember it very clearly, it should be small and round, not as big as ordinary fruits, and tastes salty and bitter." Foxy said vaguely.
