Xiyue said as she took out a remote control aircraft from the space, pulled Tuge to avoid the sight of many guards, and released the remote control aircraft on the crown of a tall tree.
Looking at the surveillance screen on the remote control in his hand, Tuge was shocked, but after being together for so long, he knew that his sister had a big secret.
Otherwise, those novel species would not have appeared so easily!
"What is this?" Tuge still couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Remotely controlled aircraft are like flying beasts, but this thing won't last long. It needs an energy source, which we don't have." Xiyue explained lightly.
The remote control plane flew to the Salt Lake. From the screen, I saw many wild beasts surrounding the edge. Of course, when I passed by, I also saw many tree houses built by the country and defensive soldiers. They were all looking at the Salt Lake very nervously and anxiously.
direction.
"It's really strange, why are they gathered here? They can't eat this salt." Xiyue asked curiously.
Seeing the white salt on the shore, which looked like snowflakes, Xiyue also sighed at the wonder of this world.
Sure enough, when nature creates time and space, it will definitely give all kinds of creatures the capital to survive!
"Is it because there is something wrong with the lake not far away?" Tuge frowned.
"Lake? What lake?" Xiyue asked curiously.
Then the remote-controlled plane became a little unstable, so Xiyue quickly drove it back. If it was too far away, there would be no signal and it would be impossible to control it remotely.
Tuge said: "I will take you to the lake on the other side. There is another lake not too far away. It is a freshwater lake where many wild beasts usually gather. It is also the place where female beasts in the deep forest give birth to their offspring.
.
There is a relative balance there, perhaps because they are trying to survive and reproduce, so even if they are natural enemies, they can coexist peacefully depending on the strength of the group. Moreover, it is very large, and it is one of the few breeding places in the deep forest.
I see that most of the beasts surrounding the salt lake are herds, so I guess there is something wrong there?!"
Xiyue nodded in agreement and collected the things after the remote control plane flew back. The two returned to the gathering place of the guards.
But before they even reached the place, they heard the sound of sword fighting.
The two of them hurried back and saw two groups of strangers actually fighting.
"What's going on?" Tuge asked his subordinate.
"Prince Qi, there was a fight between people from the Dwarf Forest Country and the Black Stone Country. They detected our arrival and wanted to cooperate with us, so they started fighting after a dispute."
Tuge came back, and both parties who were fighting stopped.
"I've met Prince Fan Jing." One of the people on one side immediately stepped forward and greeted Tuge respectfully.
"Down here Tuge!" Tuge said coldly and domineeringly.
"King Tuge, I am the deputy general of Kunan of the Black Stone Kingdom. I was ordered to escort our hunters to get salt. But this year I don't know why the salt lake is occupied by wild beasts. We are small in number and cannot fight against many wild beasts, so we want to fight against the four great powers of Fan Jing.
Let’s cooperate and get salt together.” The ordinary-looking man in black said politely with his fists slightly clasped.
On the other side, the Dwarf Kingdom looked at the Black Stone Kingdom angrily. One of them said disdainfully: "Are you trying to do the same thing again? Under the guise of cooperation, you let the capable people charge into the battle. We met
He refused to help when he was in danger and only focused on escaping for his own life.
Isn't the Guta Kingdom one of the four major kingdoms? It's just because the number of people is smaller. Although the strength is good, it can't withstand you disobeying the command and running away, leaving them to die." The people from the Dwarf Kingdom said sarcastically.
.
"Don't talk nonsense. Your Dwarf country is the weakest. Every time you take salt, you don't rely on the force of other countries to take salt.
Now that the number of wild beasts has increased several times, you don't dare to take risks on your own, so you hide behind many people. What do we mean by escaping from the battlefield?
We also lost ten men? Don't we have any casualties?!" Kunan quickly retorted as soon as he heard that the Dolin Kingdom had taken over his boss, fearing that Fan Jingguo would not cooperate with them.
"Despicable villain, Fan Jing's Prince Tuge, please listen to me."
As the people from the Dwarf Kingdom finished speaking in detail about what they had said before their arrival, Xiyue also understood that there was actually no big difference from the accusation just now.
Everyone comes here to get salt. In previous years, there were many wild beasts around the salt lake. Just like humans hunt, wild beasts also hunt. The beasts eat the weak and the strong. It is not just limited to the scope of wild beasts. Why it was dangerous to fetch salt in the past is also because humans always hunt.
It is a sacrifice that becomes food for the beasts.
But because the number of wild beasts is something that humans can fight against, there is no delay in collecting salt. After all, collecting salt is not just here in the Salt Lake. The most dangerous ones are some wild beasts encountered on their respective roads.
I don’t know what happened this year, but these beasts are gathered here in groups, but the majority of them are still some powerful beasts. Therefore, when facing so many beasts, humans naturally appear insignificant and are no match for the herds of beasts.
.
As for the few small countries that arrived first, not to mention collecting salt, there were quite a few who were spotted by wild beasts and chased them all over the deep forest. As more and more people gathered, the wild beasts were somewhat deterred, but they often met and then started.
Originally, humans did not have an advantage in numbers, but for some reason the beasts did not kill them all. Both sides were currently in a state of anxiety.
Then after Kunan saw one of the four major countries, the Guta Kingdom, coming to get salt, he roped in several small countries to cooperate with the Guta Kingdom.
It’s just that he doesn’t seem to care much about credibility, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he still maintains his aristocracy.
When people charged into battle, they only wanted to benefit and refused to contribute. They did not obey the unified arrangements and angered the beasts, causing heavy losses to the Guta Kingdom and other countries. In the end, no salt was taken, and all the people were lost.
A lot.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a strong person coming, so I wanted to come over and cooperate again.
"That's it. I can swear that I'm not lying. We are not the only country here. People from other countries can also testify. Blackstone Country is not trustworthy, so please Fan Jing not to cooperate with them, lest you be implicated."
The people from the Dwarf Kingdom spoke righteously.
"What's your name?" Xiyue looked at this man and felt that his eyes were clear and magnanimous. He didn't look like the kind of person who would tell stories, so she asked.
Xiyue was dressed in men's clothing, so no one noticed her just now. When she spoke now, a woman's voice was different from a man's, and she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Uh, I'm Hu Song."
Xiyue nodded.
Facing everyone's suspicious and probing glances, Xiyue's guards glared rudely at a few people who had their eyes fixed on Xiyue, and said in a cold voice: "Please don't be rude, this is the royal title of our Fan Jingguo.
Princess Shengxi is our prince’s sister.”
"Princess"
"Princess."
The guard's words shocked everyone present. In fact, no woman has ever participated in such dangerous things as collecting salt for so many years.
He thought to himself, could it be that Fan Jingguo brought the curious monarch out to see the world because of his superior strength?!
Is this a fun way to collect salt?
Is she really powerful enough, or is this princess just arrogant?
It is true that women are weak, and generally very few enter the deep forests, not to mention having to travel long distances to get salt.
