Banished to Another World

Chapter 36: Salt Lake and Salt Canopy

Views:

what did he see !

Just about a mile ahead of the stone pillar, there is an arc-shaped, vast expanse of brilliant purple-red grass sea that can hardly be seen at both ends.

In the embrace of this sea of purple red grass with an unknown width and a diameter of at least half a mile opposite, there is a narrow and long eye-shaped lake that is slightly sunken and can't see both ends, covering a vast area.

Behind the long and narrow lake is a prairie, and in the distance of the prairie, you can see a super large lake that covers an area, let alone how big it is.

And the stone pillar he was on seemed to be in the middle, top and edge of a large arc. The fan-shaped land with a radius of nearly one mile around the stone pillar forms an irregular cone-shaped hill, and the stone pillar is the tip of the cone.

Looking from the stone pillar, the land on the right side of the arc is about a kilometer away from the densely packed forest that completely blocks the line of sight. The forest does not know how wide it is, let alone the terrain behind it.

There are also many land trees on the left side of the arc, but they are relatively low, and several undulating hills can be seen connecting with the distant mountains.

Directly in front of the stone pillar, that is, the north he was facing now, he could still see the shadowy mountains in the distance.

It turns out that this mountain, which is about 2,000 meters high when viewed from the grassland at the bottom of the south, is actually a plain, or more correctly, a plateau

Regardless of whether this piece of land is a plain, a plateau, or a semi-basin, according to the trend of extending to the two wings and the front, even as far as the distant mountains, how vast should this piece of land be

Yan Mo knocked his head, this terrain seemed familiar, as if he had seen similar terrain in the original world

I remembered! It's just that in his memory, the plateau-like cliff is not another plain, but the ocean.

It is said that this topography is the result of mutual extrusion of land due to changes in the earth's crust. As a result, part of the land rises, and when the sea water dries up, it becomes a continent with a high drop from the sea level, while the part that falls is still the ocean.

So, was this once part of the ocean? Or is this the original terrain here, and there is no ocean at all

Yan Mo only knows six senses of geology, and he doesn't bother to study it. No matter what kind of terrain changes can cause the long and narrow lake in front, that lake already exists.

Yes, the point is the lake! The real reason for his sluggishness was the lake surrounded by a large sea of purple red grass, with both ends narrow and long like eyes!

No, in fact he is not in a daze, his eyes are obviously full of enthusiasm for seeing huge wealth, and full of surprises like the blessings of surviving a catastrophe!

The warriors of the Yuanji Tribe were working so hard to find salt, so they risked their lives to come out with a "liar priest disciple" like him, just for that little hope.

The Shi tribe attacked the Yanshan tribe, so many people died, and many people had to flee from the safe place of residence, all for that little salt.

In addition to the plain under the mountain in the south, this vast land that may account for 10% to 20% of the area of Huaguo in his original world, I don’t know how many primitive and developing aborigines are looking for salt.

Salt! Salt! Salt!

He was captured by the human-faced bird, from despair to hope, and then when he thought there was no hope of escaping temporarily, he actually saw a huge salt lake covering a vast area under his own prison.

The shore of this salt lake and some shallow places have naturally accumulated flower-like salt crystals.

The salt crystals emit a light red color, and the clear lake water is also from light to slightly darker red. This color is probably related to certain minerals contained in the lake.

Just like the famous red salt in his original world, also known as Jiyan. This kind of salt is famous for its large particles, few impurities, and fresh and strong taste.

He no longer has to worry about growing white hair on his body due to lack of salt, laughing.

As for whether the salt can be eaten, he is not worried at all.

Because even if the salt can't be eaten, he doesn't have to worry about lack of salt.

Because he knew the large area of purple-red plants that grow into a sea of grass, which is a kind of salsa, also called Suaeda salsa, yellow mustard and so on.

Generally, Suaeda salsa does not turn red, but the Suaeda salsa here does, which is probably related to the mineral content of the soil here. In his original world, there was a wetland next to the beach full of alkali that would turn red in autumn. Peng.

This plant has many benefits.

First of all, its seedlings and adult plants can be eaten as vegetables, especially the seedlings. At the same time, the seeds can also be squeezed for oil, and they can also be fried in a pan. The taste is said to be comparable to that of sesame.

Secondly, it also has medical and health care functions. Eating this vegetable in moderation has certain curative effects on rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, obesity, diabetes and other diseases, and it also has various functions such as inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and anti-aging.

Finally, you burn it to ashes, which can also be used as salt and alkali. In ancient times in the original world, some people used the ashes from the burning of this plant as salt, and later some people used this soda ash to knead dough. It is said that the kneaded dough will be very firm.

The surprise came too suddenly and too full, which made Yan Mo maintain the same posture for a long time.

This place is not particularly ideal, but it is also a good site.

If he can find a suitable place to stay near here, he should be able to live well, right

The place where I live can’t be too close to the salt lake, but it can’t be too far either. For example, the piece of land in front of the rocky mountain close to the forest in the northwest is very good. There is not obvious reflection, and there seems to be a river-like water source there.

Build houses with stones, reclaim fields on nearby grasslands, go hunting in woods and grasslands, and in the distance there is a huge lake like an inland sea for fishing. This salt lake can be used to obtain salt, and the seeds of Suaeda salsa can be squeezed out for food Oil, maybe even let him toss out soap.

Just when Yan Mo had begun to imagine that he led a group of primitive people to kill all directions, build a city, establish a country, establish himself as a king, and come to worship from all directions, and he made a lot of money by selling salt. , the huge black shadow approached, the wings brought a gust of wind, Yan Mo's body was blown, subconsciously raised his head, and immediately faced the arrogant bird face.

Someone caught in a daydream wakes up instantly.

He is still under the control of a bird, and he himself is an auxiliary professional native man with little knowledge but little combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the distant and almost impossible ambition of establishing a country and becoming a king on its own, it is a problem for him to survive in this bird's nest for a few days now.

He also thought about jumping directly regardless of his care. According to his healing ability, he might be healed enough to get up and walk in a few days.

But in the past few days, he had to ensure that his shattered body would not be eaten by this human-faced bird or other birds, beasts, or insects. He didn't want to be a god-given feast like that blond angel - he couldn't finish it, so that the nearby creatures would die of joy? Maybe he will stay by his side from now on, take a bite today and another bite tomorrow, and let him eat slowly.

If it really becomes like that... he can't think about it anymore, and he will immediately lose his will to survive.

Having said that, so before solving the biggest enemy in front of you, it is useless to think about anything.

"Morning, are you back?" Yan Mo greeted the human-faced bird with a smile in Chinese, his voice deliberately soft.

Besides, even if this man-faced bird is really dealt with, can he survive here alone

I haven't seen any other ferocious birds and beasts in the vicinity for the time being, it's nothing more than the deterrence of this big bird. If the big bird leaves or dies, how long can he guarantee to occupy this territory

Looking for a place to stay elsewhere? Can he make sure there's no danger around there, no other native life

Don't forget, dude, winter is coming and you don't even have a house to live in. Let alone a house, let you set up a tent that does not leak or be blown away by the wind, will you build it

Besides, where can you get enough hides in a short time and enough food to last you all winter

Yan Mo's smile turned into a wry smile.

"Jie!" The human-faced bird cried, grabbed the edge of the nest, and stared at Yan Mo.

What does this little two-legged monster want to do? escape? can he fly I didn't see him grow wings.

So what about the scenery? Sometimes it is bored and stares at a place like this.

But isn't he hungry? Why did he not eat the fruit of the nest? do not like to eat? can not eat? But it has clearly seen those two-legged monsters have eaten this kind of fruit, and they often pick it.

Or... he won't eat? Need it to be fed to him like a baby bird

The man-faced bird tilted its head and slapped the man into the nest with one wing - without wings, it would fall to pieces, which is how it often kills its prey.

Immediately, it jumped into the nest, picked up the bunch of yellow fruits, and brought them to the boy's mouth.

"Gululu..." A series of bellies that were not very loud but absolutely inescapable rang out.

Yan Mo climbed up from the bottom of the nest with a head of bird feathers and hay. He was thinking whether he had offended the bird. He had already held the golden needle in his hand, but when he looked up, he saw the horrible bird with a bunch of fruits in its beak. to his lips.

The bunch of fruits looked like a mutant variety of mare's milk grape, the fruit grains were a little more slender, and the length was a bit like a little finger.

Dulu is a bunch of seeds, the fruit grains are not densely grown, but the fruit ears are very long, and a lot of them are scattered on a stem. Most of the grains are full, and a few are broken, giving off a strong sweet fragrance.

"Gudong!" Someone swallowed hard.

In fact, Yan Mo was so hungry that his stomach cramped and he was dizzy, but he was too excited in front of him so he temporarily suppressed this feeling. When he realized it, he stretched out his right hand uncontrollably.

The human-faced bird watched him reach out to touch the fruit, and loosened its beak, letting him eat it by himself.

It has seen those two-legged monsters eat, and they always grab the food with their two front paws like this.

Yan Mo grabbed a "horse milk grape" and put it in his mouth hesitantly.

This was the second food he saw that he didn't recognize. The first one is the water god leaves that Kuading gave him yesterday. At that time, he hesitated and didn't eat them in time. He took a few pieces with Yuan Zhan to find the sheep, but they were caught by the big bird and failed to eat them. Now those few leaves I don't know where the leaf fell.

By the way, how is his hairy master doing now

He remembered that the kid wanted to save him, heard his roar, and finally chased him for a long distance.

Are you moved

Of course he will be moved, scum does not mean cold-blooded, especially when the other party is paying for himself.

But it didn't touch much, I just felt a little pity, I don't know if I can see that kid again in the future. I kept thinking about running away from those people, but when I did, I realized that without them, I couldn't move a single step by myself.

"Hmm!" The skin is a bit astringent, but the pulp inside is very sweet. The pulp is not as juicy as the mare's milk grapes he has eaten, and it seems to be more solid and crisp.

Seeing the little Twolegs start to eat, the bird made a "grunt" sound representing joy from its throat.

Yan Mo didn't feel threatened by the big bird, and simply sat cross-legged in the nest and ate the bunch of mare's milk grapes to his heart's content.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and raised his head to discuss with Big Bird: "If you don't want to kill me, can you send me out? I want to drink water and also want to pee. You don't want me to pee in your nest, do you?"
