After making breakfast and feeding the cubs, Fox Jiaojiao hadn't gone to find the chief yet, but the chief came to find her in person with a group of beastmen.
The chief was half happy and half worried, holding a handful of small black fruits and found Fox Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, this is the salt fruit you mentioned, I have found it."
Fox Jiaojiao took a look and found it was exactly the same as the salt fruit she saw yesterday.
However, today's salt fruit, each small fruit was connected to a thin branch, and a bunch of fruits grew on a long branch, but the fruits grew in pieces, as if many of them were picked halfway.
Without waiting for Foxy to speak, the chief said:
"However, we have only found three salt fruit trees in total, and the salt fruit on the trees has been eaten by wild beasts, leaving only these uneven ones..."
He sighed and could only think positively.
"Although it is not enough, it is better than no salt at all."
After hearing the chief's words, Foxy nodded solemnly.
She had never thought about this situation. It seems that salt fruit trees in the beastman world are very rare. No wonder the beastmen have to rely on exchanging salt with the sea beastmen to survive.
If there were really enough salt fruit to eat, the beastmen would have discovered it long ago, and there would be no need for her to say anything.
"It's okay, Chief, these salt fruits are enough." Fox Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"I know where to find enough salt."
After saying this, the chief and the beasts all widened their eyes and looked at her in disbelief. Before they
knew it, most of the beasts in the tribe came to Fox Jiaojiao's house, except for the beasts brought by the chief. They all wanted to see what the salty fruit looked like, and they could pick it themselves in the future.
After hearing the chief's words, they were ready to leave in disappointment.
Who knew that Fox Jiaojiao suddenly broke the news that was enough to shock the entire tribe!
Suddenly, the beastmen were shocked as if a thunderbolt had exploded. They became restless and excited, and asked in unison:
"Really? You can find salt!"
"Where can we find salt? Can it really help us survive the winter?"
"Fox Jiaojiao is a female favored by the beast god. She has saved the tribe so many times. What are you doubting? Anyway, I believe it!"
The tribe leader could no longer hold back and asked excitedly, "Jiaojiao, where is the place you are talking about?"
Fox Jiaojiao remembered the dragon-screaming fox in her dream, which was in the direction of the rising sun. If that was the location of the tribe, then the lake full of salt flowers should be in...
"To the west, there is a big lake, which is full of salt crystals that look like flowers and can be eaten as salt."
She put one hand on her chin, and described it while thinking carefully.
"By the way, the lake should be in a very high place, maybe on a mountain..."
In the dream, there was mist all around, which should be the mist on the mountain. Usually, there is heavy fog on the high mountains all year round.
"Okay! Okay! I will send the orcs to look for the salt flowers you mentioned!" The chief was so excited that his lips were trembling, and the whole person seemed to be enveloped by spring.
He was not so excited when he found a partner when he was young.
It can be seen how important he thinks the tribe is!
"Okay." Foxy nodded.
Why do I suddenly feel like a fortune-teller?
She kept talking nonsense all day long, and even told some nonsense that the beast god had come to her in her dreams. Only these beasts were kind-hearted, simple, and reverent to the beast god, so they would believe her.
"But..."
Fox Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the salt that had inexplicably melted in the cave, "Chief, if you find salt flowers this time, you must store them carefully and not let them melt again."
Otherwise, it would be a difficult task to get the salt flowers back and forth.
It was still unknown how far the tribe was from the lake with salt flowers, and whether there would be any danger on the way.
"I know, I will definitely keep it well this time, and there will be no more accidents." After hearing what Fox Jiaojiao said, the chief restrained his smile and nodded seriously.
"Oh, right." Fox Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Chief, why did the salt in the cave melt? Is it really just because the cave is damp?"
She always felt that it was a bit strange.
How could the salt melt? No one seemed to want to investigate.
The chief sighed and explained with a gloomy face, "I've seen it. It turns out that the cave is too damp, and water vapor condensed. The dripping water just dripped onto the salt."
In one night, the salt melted away.
"So that's how it is." Fox Jiaojiao didn't ask any more questions.
"Then I'll gather people to get the salt flowers. Jiaojiao, how many beastmen do you think are needed?" The chief subconsciously asked Fox Jiaojiao's opinion.
In his heart, he already regarded Fox Jiaojiao as the lucky star of the tribe. If there was anything, he could ask her.
Now was the busy time for storing food in autumn. They had to prepare to make charcoal and take care of the potato seedlings.
Fox Jiaojiao blinked, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Seven or eight people are enough. They need to be physically strong, able to climb mountains, and able to protect themselves if they encounter danger on the road."
Don't let the salt not be obtained, but the beasts get into trouble.
It just happened that the number of beastmen who went to exchange salt was divided in half, and the other half stayed in the tribe to make charcoal.
"Okay, okay." The tribe leader nodded repeatedly, trusting Fox Jiaojiao's words very much.
"Chief, is it too hasty to go looking for salt flowers just because of a dream..."
At this time, a weak voice came from the beastmen.
When the beastmen heard this, they turned around and cursed. Seeing that the person who spoke was the weak-looking female Huang Yue, they swallowed back the words that almost came out of their mouths.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that the beastmen on the road will get hurt. After all, the forest is very dangerous." Feeling the gazes of the beastmen, Huang Yue explained timidly.
The beastmen were reluctant to blame her. They
were worried about them?
How could they say harsh words to such a kind female?
In the crowd of beasts, the deer mother looked at Hu Jiaojiao with resentment on her face, and immediately jumped out following the voice, saying unhappily:
"She's right! You didn't even tell us how far it was, and just let everyone go look for it. What if something goes wrong? Will you be responsible?"
"Besides, how can flowers grow out of salt? Have you ever seen it? I haven't seen it anyway. Maybe Vixen is just making it up! You vixens are just full of lies."
Deer Mother is the most vengeful and has long been annoyed with Vixen. Now that she has the opportunity to splash dirty water, she will naturally not let it go.
Seeing Deer Mother stand up, Huang Yue's lips curled up secretly, and she quietly retreated into the group of beasts.
"Why should we listen to Vixen? Ever since she began to be possessed by the beast god in her dreams, disasters have occurred one after another in the tribe. I think she is not a lucky star at all, but a disaster star!"
Deer Mother said excitedly, looking crazy.
Without noticing that none of the beastmen around him showed any signs of approval,
Fox Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold, and she slowly walked up to the deer mother and said coldly,
"If I were a disaster star, I would first get you out of the tribe."
