199 Greedy and insufficient, the snake swallows the elephant
"How can they be so tenacious? The weakest herbivorous beast we chose was actually besieged by the neighboring tribes. How could they unite at this time?"
"yes."
Everyone was very frustrated. Although the beasts started a war with humans, they did not kill them all.
After Tuge rescued the people, he hurried to pick up Xiyue. When he saw the embarrassment of several people, he was also shocked.
Especially Xiyue was wearing a guard's coat, with a lot of blood on her face, which startled him, "Xiyue, what's wrong, are you injured?"
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that my clothes are torn."
Tuge exhaled a breath and felt a little relieved when he saw that several people had returned intact.
Xiyue looked at him and then said: "I didn't see any herd passing by. Did you fail?"
Tuge nodded and then explained the situation there.
Xiyue frowned and thought about it all the way back. Then she pulled Tuge over and said, "I'm going to the Salt Lake with the guards who are following me. You're going to support me."
Just when it was getting dark, everyone was nervously rearranged according to the diagram and lurked under the huge plants.
"Boom~"
The sudden explosion was so devastating that it was deafening and almost scared people to death.
The beasts by the salt lake were even more frightened and fled in all directions. Some of the mighty beasts finally chose to leave the salt lake when they saw their companions being blown away by the smoke in the sky.
Tuge was also very frightened when he heard the explosion. Fortunately, he still remembered Xiyue's instructions and led his men to drive the herd of beasts that were not very aggressive towards the breeding lake.
There was chaos in the deep forest all night. The sounds of killing, deafening gunshots, shouts, low sounds, the roars of wild beasts and the neighs of birds and beasts all mixed together and resounded throughout the sky.
After most of the beasts in the salt lake dispersed, most people followed Tuge to continue driving away the remaining beasts, or worked together to fight the mighty beasts.
Chocolate's attack power is very powerful. With its participation, some large beasts can be directly driven away by it.
Everyone was proceeding in accordance with the previous agreement. Only the people from the Black Rock Country took the opportunity to pull a few carts of salt crystals and left in a hurry.
It's a pity that they are destined to be unable to get out of the deep forest and return to the Black Stone Kingdom, because not all the wild beasts that they thought they would get a profit from but didn't want to drive away ran to the side of the breeding lake.
As for the beast herds scattered in the deep forest, as long as a small beast herd confronts them, their entire army will be wiped out. Of course, this is all a story later.
After fighting all night, everyone dragged their exhausted bodies back to the camp when daylight came. Tuge led a team of people to patrol, and they still did not take it lightly.
Sure enough, when everyone was most relaxed, another wave of beasts came back. Fortunately, the number was not large. In the end, everyone worked together to kill them, and the battle was finally ended.
There were no wild beasts in the salt lake. Perhaps yesterday's loud noise and later gunshots frightened them, and all the wild beasts were really driven away, but Xiyue insisted that everyone should not act rashly.
Everyone still had to act in unison to protect each other. Many people were sent to investigate in various directions. She also used remote-controlled aircraft to patrol from time to time. Finally, on the third day, the Salt Lake was still very calm and no wild beasts returned.
Cheering to go to the Salt Lake to get salt.
This time, all teams collecting salt tried their best to get as much as they could. This opportunity was too rare.
In previous years, salt was obtained while fighting wild beasts, so the quantity was limited.
But this year, because everyone was united and divided the work to help each other, and because of Xiyue’s unified arrangement, almost all the teams got an astonishing amount of salt. Some of them just couldn’t get it because of the number of people and transportation.
It's a pity that we can only do what we can.
"It's great! This is the most enjoyable time I've ever taken salt!" Kunan looked at the small mountain bags of salt loaded in his team. This was the most salt he had ever taken in so many times, surpassing all the salt collected in the previous four or five years combined.
quantity.
If he hadn't lost some of his people, he could have taken some away.
Xiyue also turned to look at Fan Jing's team. When she came here, Xiyue asked Tuge to collect a group of long-bearded sheep into the space. Although the number of beast carts was not too many, there were only two or three.
One cart of long-bearded sheep can pull several times the number of sheep in the past.
In addition, other small countries sent one or two beast carts because they were grateful to Tuge and Xiyue, so Fan Jing's fleet suddenly increased to a hundred taels.
The beast carts of Bailiang are all pulled by at least two bearded sheep. Most of them have been raised in space and are very obedient.
Therefore, Tuge's collection of salt this time is equivalent to taking the amount of salt he had taken in the past ten years combined at once, making him more than enough.
Everyone is very grateful to Tuge. Without Tuge and Fan Jingguo, no one would have been able to successfully obtain so many salt crystals. It would be lucky to go back with life. What's more, it is like the first great harvest in history. It seems like it costs nothing.
Go back so salty.
Every time I get salt crystals, I have to fight wild beasts and grab the salt crystals at the same time, and I always have a narrow escape.
Although there are many free hunting groups that sell salt crystals, they are only in the minority and the price is very expensive!
"Your Highness Princess, no, Lord Son of Light, I really want to thank you this time."
Kunan brought some people from small countries over to say goodbye to Xiyue and Tuge.
Xiyue smiled and said: "We are destined to meet each other. I hope that everyone can see Fan Jing's salt collection team again in the future and they can also help."
"must."
"must."
Xiyue was actually grateful for the help from other countries, so when she saw that some of their injuries were not yet healed, she healed them one by one, so that they could be more able to protect themselves on the way back.
For safety reasons, each team was given two more Ice Nether Grass as gifts, which made everyone ecstatic.
Sure enough, good deeds are rewarded. They just expressed their respect and gratitude. They helped Fan Jing pack a lot of salt before and got an even bigger reward. Everyone admired Xi Yue.
The attitude towards women has also changed.
How wonderful it would be if all the women in the world were as delicate and strong as Xiyue, free and unrestrained, free and cheerful, and not pretentious at all.
As for Xiyue's generous use of so many heaven-defying Ice Netherworld Grasses, no one would question the origin of Xiyue's Ice Netherworld Grasses.
After all, a child of healing light can enter and exit the territory of the Dark Beast, so it is not surprising that he can obtain so much Ice Netherworld Grass. After all, Ice Netherworld Grass also grows in patches, but there are really few people who are lucky enough to get it.
When preparing to leave and return, Xiyue avoided everyone and went to the Salt Lake. She used her mind to collect a lot of salt crystals into the space, which was enough to load several super large containers.
She emptied the original contents of the container and used them to hold salt. With these salt crystals, Fan Jingguo didn't have to worry about salt crystals for a short time.
This time, it can be regarded as a fruitful return.
When they encountered the tragic scene of the Black Rock Kingdom's entire army being annihilated on the road, they unceremoniously took their salt crystal cart away.
"The snake swallows the elephant when they are greedy. They think they are profiting from it, but they don't want to think about how there are so many good things for them to take advantage of!" Xiyue said coolly while sitting on Chocolate's body.
Others looked at the fate of the Black Rock Country and reflected on it. It seems that even if it is for profit, one must be principled.
