Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

After leaving the beach, it is a huge rocky beach, but the rocks here are much more tidy and larger than the rocky beach next to the tribe. The rocky beach is covered with moss and mussels, but because it has been washed by the lake for a long time, The sides were too slippery, and the cloth shoes they were wearing were not very slippery, so they bypassed this rocky beach and walked along the foot of the rocky mountain.

The old salt mountain that A Xu mentioned earlier was located at the end of the rocky beach. The two of them walked for about half an hour to get there. There were white crushed salt stones scattered nearby, which were covered with mud and looked dirty. There is also a huge stone cave entrance on the salt mountain, and it is impossible to tell whether it was formed naturally or artificially mined for a long time.

"This is the old salt mountain that Asu said, right?" Chen Qi looked at the surrounding situation, only this mountain was bare without any plants, only white salt rocks.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Azer asked worriedly, looking at the dark entrance of the cave. If only he was okay, with Chen Qi, he would never want the other party to encounter the slightest danger.

The cave in this salt mountain is obviously much deeper than the other one. Even if the entrance of the cave is opened wide, the sunlight cannot penetrate into the depth at all, and standing outside the entrance of the cave cannot see what is inside.

Chen Qi pondered for a while, "Let's make some torches before going in."

When they were in Qize City, they made a lot of torches. The two of them skillfully made five or six of them in a short time. One torch could burn for about fifteen minutes to half an hour. Chen Qi didn't want to be in the cave. After staying in the cave for too long, I lit the torch and walked into the cave.

A Ze walked beside him, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Qi's other empty hand, his five senses were at the highest level, and he was always paying attention to the surrounding situation. Chen Qi turned back and smiled, inserted his fingers into the other's fingers, and clasped his fingers tightly.

This stone cave has probably been abandoned for too long and has not been taken care of. The gravel is scattered everywhere. The ground is not damp, but it is not easy to walk. The surrounding walls of the cave are not full of gray-white salt stones like the other one. It is possible to see some reddish-brown sandstone mixed in it. Compared with another salt mountain, the salt stone here is more impurity, and the monsters will give up here.

The cave is very deep and the space is very large. There is nothing special about it except for the unchanging stone walls. When the second torch was lit, Chen Qi found that a light appeared in the distance.

"Is this cave connecting the whole mountain?" Chen Qi was slightly surprised.

"Be careful." As soon as Chen Qi's words fell, Aze suddenly stepped forward to block Chen Qi, and then Chen Qi heard the sound of flapping wings, and hurriedly raised the relit torch and looked in the direction of the sound. Go, I saw that the top of the cave wall was densely covered with dark bats.

Although Chen Qi didn't have any intense phobia, he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he saw this scene. He bowed slightly, pulled Aze and quickly walked towards the light source in front, "Let's get out of here, Be careful not to be bitten by a bat." This thing seems to have rabies virus, there is no vaccine in this world, and it will be troublesome if you get bitten.

After being reminded by Chen Qi, Aze became more careful, and only slapped each other on the ground when the bat rushed towards them.

Although the light source seemed to be far away, the distance was not long. It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the entrance of the cave, but the bat in the cave did not come out. Chen Qi nervously checked whether there were any wounds on Aze's body to make sure that the other party was genuine. He breathed a sigh of relief when he was unscathed.

Seeing that Chen Qi was worried about himself, Aze pursed his lips and smiled, "This little thing can't hurt me."

"Of course, my Aze is the most powerful." Chen Qi always praised his partner, causing Aze to blushing awkwardly.

The entrance of the cave here is more than half smaller than the one that came in. It looks like it was specially opened for light transmission. The entrance of the cave is facing a rocky mountain. There are many green plants sparsely growing on the rocky mountain. It seems that this bare salt mountain is particularly conspicuous.

After looking around, he didn't find anything special, Chen Qi was a little puzzled, "Where are the transparent salts that Asu said? We didn't see it all the way."

"I think I saw it just now."

"Where?" He walked with Azer along the way. It was impossible for Azer to see what he didn't see.

Azer pointed to the dark cave, "The place where we met the bat just now."

"..."

Thinking of the dense bats on the top of the cave wall and the unpleasant smell just now, Chen Qizhen didn't want to go in and see it again, but he came here, and he felt a little unwilling not to go in and take a look.

Chen Qi sighed, "Let's go in and have a look."

Of course, Chen Qi didn't plan to go in like this. He found some dry branches and some green leaves nearby, tied them together, lit them with torches, and threw them into the cave, intending to use fire and smoke to burn the inside. The bat heralds disperse.

Chen Qi found a piece of cloth in his backpack, tore it in half, and handed one piece to A Ze, while he tied the other piece to his nose and mouth, "The smell inside is so unpleasant, it probably contains toxins, you too It would be better to tie my nose and mouth like me." Those bats don't know how many years they have been hanging around here, and it is estimated that the feces on the ground are several centimeters thick. Naturally, be prepared.

After there were no more bats flying out from the entrance of the cave, Chen Qicai lit a torch and stepped into the cave. Aze led the way. There was a forked intersection not far from the entrance of the cave. This intersection was facing away from them at the beginning. Chen Qi didn't see the direction he came in, but he couldn't escape the eyes of A Ze, who could barely see in the dark.

After turning into a fork in the road, he could no longer see the figure of the bat. Chen Qi looked down at his feet, and found that the gray-white salt stone appeared under his feet again. The surrounding cave walls were rather translucent. .

"Are these mineral salts?" Chen Qi touched the translucent cave wall in surprise, feeling slightly cool.

After walking for a short distance, Chen Qi found that in addition to the mineral salt, there are two other things that Chen Qi could barely identify, gypsum and saltpeter. These two are symbiotic with the mineral salt, and there are other things that are obviously different. ore, but Chen Qi didn't know it.

Although it is a happy thing to be able to discover gypsum, what surprised Chen Qi was the discovery of saltpeter. This thing is simply too useful. It can make gunpowder. In this primitive society, there are not many cold weapons. Well, if this can be made of fire/powder, what is the mere hyena dragon? It dares to come, and it can't be bombed.

Chen Qi was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He asked Aze to dig out a little gypsum and saltpeter and put it in his backpack carefully. After all, he still had a torch and didn't dare to stay in the cave for too long. I left, and when I came out, I encountered a bat that started to turn back again, and I had to have another evasion battle.

If you want to come here to collect saltpeter in the future, you have to let these annoying guys move their nests. Chen Qi, who had been poured a little feces on his shoulders by some bat, thought while cleaning up, gritted his teeth viciously.

After getting the unexpected harvest, Chen Qi didn't want to stay here anymore, he looked at the sky and planned to return home. On the way back, there was no need to slowly observe the surrounding situation, Chen Qi asked Aze to carry him back, but he still turned to the place where the turtles laid eggs before.

The turtle had long since disappeared. There was only a pile of sand that seemed to be newly covered under a tall rock. Chen Qi pulled the sand on it and saw that it was full of white eggs, which were probably bigger than ordinary eggs. twice as big.

Chen Qi couldn't help whistling and motioned Aze to unload his backpack, take out the turtle eggs one by one, pat off the soil stained on them, and put them in the backpack. There are as many as fifty or sixty.

"Today's harvest is really good, I'll cook an egg for you to eat when I go back." Chen Qi happily helped Aze carry his backpack, "Aze, why don't we go to those rocky mountains in there tomorrow, maybe we will also There's a surprise." If he can find the sulphur, he can get the gun/powder out, but there doesn't seem to be a volcano here, and it's not that easy to find the sulphur.

A Ze looked at Chen Qi's excited expression and said with a smile, "Okay."

When they went back, the two caught a few giant crabs that were running rampant in front of them. Perhaps it was because they could easily catch octopuses with a jar, or because they did not find any large huntable creatures when the water receded today. When he came back, he only saw Ale and a group of young females thrashing in the water, and Ale pointed at the females who were acting awkwardly. Why are these people so stupid, they didn't learn it after giving instructions for a long time, thinking that when Chen Qi taught himself, he found the trick in a short while, and Ale couldn't help but feel a little complacent in comparison.

A Shu, who also kept sinking into the water after thrashing a few times, is also an impatient person. He stroked his wet bangs, "It must be that your teaching method is wrong. We have already learned it from Chen Qi's teaching."

Ale crossed his hips and snorted, "It's obviously because you are too stupid, that's what Chen Qi taught me."

Ashu splashed a handful of water at him, and retorted: "Tomorrow I will ask Chen Qi to teach me, and I will definitely be able to learn to show it to you in less than half a day."

Ale, who was splashed all over his face, ground his back molars, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Ashu, gloomily saying word by word: "Chen Qi said that you can learn it by drinking two sips of water, I I feel the need to let you try it yourself, maybe you won't have to wait until tomorrow, and you will be able to swim two laps in a while."

Ah Shu felt that his little heart was upside down. It was a hot day, but he felt a chill behind his back. Just when the two almost scuffled together, there was a female next to him who saw the beach and walked slowly over here. The two of them hurriedly shouted Chen Qi's name.

Ale, who had already pressed Ashu's head and wanted to push him into the water, quickly let go. Seeing Chen Qi looking over, he smiled shyly, "We're just kidding." After speaking, he didn't forget to pinch He glanced at Ashu's arm behind him.

Ah Shu rolled his eyes and nodded reluctantly. He didn't expect Ah Le to be so afraid of Chen Qi, and he might be able to use this matter to control him in the future. Ashu rolled his eyes, thinking quickly in his heart.
