Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 222 Salt Ore

Such a big movement naturally woke everyone up.

Holding weapons in their hands, everyone ran towards this side carefully, with a trace of nervousness on their faces. Anyone who saw a vicious giant bird hovering above their heads seemed to choose someone to eat at any time, and they couldn't keep their composure on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui quickly glanced at the circling giant bird towards the sky, and asked with some trepidation.

"It's troublesome, I'll kill its companion." Regarding Huang Jiahui, Luo Yuan had nothing to hide, and he said with a gloomy face: "These days, you should be careful, I'm worried that this strange bird has already set its sights on us." .”

As the giant bird circled regularly, the sun was occasionally covered by the giant bird's wings, causing the light and darkness below to change, and the wind continued, making people feel tremendous pressure.

Especially the sharp screams that seemed like weeping blood, everyone's face was ugly, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

"Boss Luo, don't you have a solution?" Huo Dong asked carefully.

"I can deal with it, but as long as it stays in the sky, I can't do anything about it." Luo Yuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Unless it is lured down."

Perhaps it was because of the prolonged circling that made the strange bird lose its last patience. It circled a few times, and suddenly its body was pressed down from mid-air, and its wings flapped violently, causing a strong gust of wind. A typhoon of magnitude 7 or 8 hit, flying sand and rocks for a while, and the sky was full of smoke and dust, making it impossible to open your eyes.

Just when Luo Yuan thought that the opponent was about to attack, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew high. After a few breaths, it turned into a small dot that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and then disappeared without a trace.

"It's finally gone!" Cao Lin sighed and immediately relaxed.

"It's not that simple, just like Boss Luo said just now, many mutant beasts have a strong desire for revenge. After being injured, although they ran away at the time, they will come to take revenge as soon as they heal their injuries.

What's more serious is that there seems to be a mysterious connection between some high-level mutated beasts. At that time, we may not only have to deal with one mutated bird, but a group. These days are the key. We must be careful. Don't be careless! Lianchang Xia said with a dark face, as if he had thought of something bad.

Although his individual strength is weak, as a frontline soldier against mutant beasts, his combat experience is undoubtedly richer than Luo Yuan's.

Luo Yuan nodded and said: "That's right. Although this possibility is very low, you must prepare for the worst. In the past few days, everyone should not go out for the time being, and reserve enough water and food first."

Luo Yuan has never dared to underestimate the intelligence of mutant creatures. They can often do things that make humans unimaginable, not to mention the existence of special plants such as wisdom trees. Luo Yuan is not confident that human IQ can completely beat mutant beasts. .

...

Although this giant bird has a wingspan of more than 30 meters and hovers in the air like a huge curtain, covering the sky and the sun, it is extremely terrifying, but its weight is only one or two tons, not much heavier than a giant. This is also the natural disadvantage of birds compared to land creatures. Between weight and flight speed, they can only be weighed against each other.

After the giant bird was dismembered by Luo Yuan, it was taken away one by one, and all the feathers were collected and used for other purposes.

Luo Yuan just identified it. It is a light green creature. This is the first time he has collected such a high-level bird feather, which is extremely precious.

However, it is already difficult for a creature of this level to attract the attention of the system, and there was not even a reminder from the system before.

There was a wry smile on his face, he found that it was getting more and more difficult to upgrade his level.

...

Everyone's face is full of exhaustion, and their eyes are bloodshot, but everyone knows that the matter is of great importance. Living in this primeval forest, any slight risk is enough to cause heavy casualties.

After they brought the giant bird's body back to the body, they took a lot of water from the pool again and again, and poured it into a pit in the middle of the grotto. This pit was originally a pool dug by the giant. A lot of clear water saves a lot of effort.

As for the wood, there is no shortage at all. The wood cut by the giant is still piled up like a hill beside the fire pit, and after being roasted day and night by the high temperature nearby, the wood has been completely dried, cracked, and becomes extremely dry and flammable. The extravagant use of lighting a big torch like a giant, and cooking food alone, may not be used up in a lifetime.

In just two hours, all the survival materials were ready, enough for everyone to live for ten days and a half months without going out. A group of people came from the end of the world. Everyone is familiar with this way of storing food for the winter like a squirrel, and they have rich experience.

It seems a bit of a fuss, but in the eyes of everyone, it is perfectly normal. People in peace cannot understand the psychology of people in the last days. To use an image metaphor, it is a bird frightened, which is an extremely insecure state of mind.

When there is a little trouble, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, he will save himself first, and will not wait and see in advance. This kind of behavior has almost been integrated into the depths of the bone marrow, with few exceptions.

Because most people who don't have this mentality have already died in the last days.

…………

At this time, Luo Yuan had the leisure to look at the newly occupied camp carefully with the attitude of a victor.

This grotto is very large, because there are giants living in it, it looks very empty to everyone.

This is the largest of all the grottoes, and the giants living here (a large number of giants live in each grotto) obviously have a high status, and it is likely that there are tribal leaders among them.

It is about six meters high and covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. The entire space is supported by twenty-four huge stone pillars with a thickness of three to four meters. It looks like a primitive roughness and magnificence.

Around the walls, there are still traces of ax and chisel carvings. It is hard to believe that a giant who was born less than two years ago dug out such a magnificent building.

There are still some simple graffiti left on the wall, maybe it is a mural, or maybe it is an original text, because it is too rough and simple, he can't tell what the painting is, but it is some patterns similar to the shape of a ball or a crescent moon. He had some guesses, but he didn't have the leisure and interest to guess what it meant.

In addition, he also found a large number of primitive tools, mostly wood and stone, and some animal teeth. Due to the limited strength of the giant itself, most of these materials are of low grade, at most only light green grade, which is of no use to him. How attractive.

This is the end of the exploration of the secrets. For human beings, the superficial background of this simple civilization is almost clear at a glance, and there is no secret at all.

"Hey, come and see what this is?" Wang Xiaguang suddenly said in surprise.

Luo Yuan deliberately adjusted the frequency of his footsteps, and "slowly" walked over, but the speed was still faster than ordinary people.

This is a gray-white rock nearly half a meter high, with dense cluster-like particles on the surface, one side of which seems to be rubbed frequently, making it extremely smooth.

Without waiting for Luo Yuan's appraisal, Wang Xiaguang tapped it lightly with a dagger, picked up a gray-black particle the size of a marble, and under Luo Yuan's surprised gaze, stretched out his pink tongue and licked it lightly, and then unexpectedly Put it in your mouth.

"Spit it out, you're dying!" Luo Yuan's face changed slightly, he stood up abruptly, grabbed her mouth like lightning, trying to make her spit it out.

"Let go...I, you hurt me, it's salty, it's salty, it's salt!" Wang Xiaguang danced and pushed hard with both hands, but she didn't spit it out. Luo Yuan was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't want to She didn't dare to use force, she broke free from it, and said loudly.

"What? Salt!"

Luo Yuan quickly squatted down and used an identification technique.

"Salt ore, also known as rock salt"

"Material: Sodium Chloride 70%; Magnesium Chloride 15%, Calcium Chloride 11%, Calcium Carbonate 3%

"Rarity: Gray."

"Weight: 355kg."

"Attribute: none."

"Evaluation: This is a piece of rock salt with a lot of impurities!"

When Luo Yuan appraised, the crowd had already gathered around.

"Salty, it is indeed salt!"

"It's such a big piece of salt!"

Taking advantage of this gap, some people couldn't wait to dig out a piece and stuff it into their mouths.

When Luo Yuan stood up and saw this scene, he didn't know what to say. Not only Wang Xiaguang and others, but even Huang Jiahui, who was usually the most cautious, took a piece and put it in his mouth, making him want to grab it. Come and taste it, what does it taste like.

The salt deficiency has lasted for nearly a week. Usually, you can drink a lot of mutated blood to supplement the salt, but these days, with the sharp rise in temperature, the human body is sweating almost all the time, and the sweat makes a lot of salt loss. Supplementing salt by drinking blood is already a drop in the bucket. As the concentration of body fluids continues to decrease, some people have begun to experience mild symptoms of dehydration and weakness, and they are extremely hungry for salt.

Seeing such a large piece of salt now is like a beggar who has not eaten for a few days and his eyes are green with hunger. How can he continue to ignore it when he suddenly finds a piece of steamed buns.

That is to say, Luo Yuan, who usually doesn't sweat much, can still maintain a basic composure.
