When she woke up, it was already bright. An Yao had slept well. When she went to the river to wash up and returned home, she and Jin processed the basket full of wild boar meat.

1/3 of the meat is left to be eaten in the next few days, and the remaining meat is buried in a coarse salt vat to be cured and smoked to keep it from going bad for a long time.

"We don't have enough salt at home." When An Yao covered the stone jar with pieces of meat, he realized that there was not much salt left in the salt jar, leaving only a shallow salt bottom.

The salt in the beast world is actually a kind of coarse salt scraped from sea rocks, which is a very rare and precious material.

Therefore, only the sea tribe orcs can produce salt, and if the orcs on land want to eat salt, they must travel through mountains and rivers every year in the rainy season before winter to exchange things with the sea tribe orcs for salt.

Because of the preciousness of salt, the salt of the tribe is kept and distributed by the tribe leader. The amount of salt allocated to the orcs is very limited, basically based on personal strength and his contribution to the tribe.

Jhin usually hunts no less prey than other orcs, but because he has the lowest strength and is not favored by others, he also gets the least amount of salt.

The original owner, An Yao, was lazy and did not work or join the tribe's collection team.

As a result, the small half a jar of salt shared by the two of them was almost finished before this year's cold season came.

Jhin is a male orc. He can hunt and drink raw blood to replenish his body's nutrition, but females must eat salt, otherwise they will get sick.

Jin raised his eyelids and glanced outside the door. The weather during the day was no longer as hot and vicious as it was some time ago. He said thoughtfully, "The rainy season is almost over..."

"After the rainy season comes the cold season. During the cold season, thousands of miles are frozen and people cannot go out, so they need to stock up on salt and other food in advance to survive the three-month cold season."

"There is still one month before the tribe should send people to the Sea Tribe to exchange for salt. That is also the time when the stray beasts in the wild are most active. Most of them will rob the tribe of supplies before hibernating."

The precious materials used by many weak tribes in exchange for salt were intercepted by wandering beasts. What awaited them was the endless cold and hunger in the cold season. Many orcs died and may even become extinct.

There are so many lessons learned, so any tribe with some strength will send many powerful orcs to protect the incoming and outgoing supplies to prevent them from being forcibly taken away by those stray beasts.

"I will follow you then to protect the tribe's supplies."

Jin was talking, feeling a little depressed, lowering his head and playing with the firewood with his hands.

An Yao looked at the depressed wolf cub, feeling the sourness of an old mother in her heart. Having read the original work, she knew very well that because Jin had been unable to advance for a long time, he was still a weak first-level blood pattern warrior as an adult, so he was often criticized.

Others looked down upon him, and the tribe gave him the least amount of salt.

He must work harder than ordinary people and make more contributions to the tribe in order to exchange for the same amount of salt as other orcs.

If the system hadn't warned her in her heart, An Yao couldn't help but reveal the plot. She thought to herself: Zi Zai, don't feel so inferior and sad. In fact, you are a very powerful member of the Moon Wolf clan. Because your bloodline is sealed, you are

There is no way to advance. Once the virgin seal is broken, you will become a powerful beast king!

Alas, but this is what the heroine should worry about, and An Yao can only swallow these comforting words back in his throat.

Unable to rely on Zaizai alone to support her family, An Yao decided to wait two days before going to the tribe leader to propose joining the tribal gathering team so that she could exchange for more salt.

"Okay, then you must pay attention to safety when the time comes."

An Yao nodded, suddenly thought of something, and turned to the man and said, "By the way, you usually go out to hunt, so it's best not to kill the prey completely unless necessary."

"Those small beasts that are easy to keep in captivity, such as long-eared beasts, pheasants, etc., can be left alive. We build a fence next to the house and keep them inside. We can kill them at any time and take them out at any time. In this way, we can also save some money.

Salt."

Jin heard some sense and nodded, "Okay, when the hunting team changes next time, I will catch a few for you and see if I can feed them."

The fish baskets left in the river had not been collected for two days. After breakfast, An Yao slapped his head and remembered this matter.

She took Jin to the river and took a look. She found that the fish basket was broken and some fish and shrimps had escaped. There was only one fat and thin medium-sized herring left in the fish basket, and there were not many shrimps and crabs left.

An Yao picked up the fish basket with a hole in it from the river, feeling regretful that she should have come over earlier to collect the fish basket.

Jin looked at the fish basket in her hand in surprise. Was this what she relied on to catch those fish and water bugs?

As long as they come here on time to collect the baskets, they can get food, which is much easier than when they usually hunt desperately in the forest.

...It's so magical and clever.

Jin stared blankly at the female in front of him. It was only now that a strong feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It’s true that he hasn’t gotten to know her for a long time.

"Master, the system has just detected that the villain Jhin's favorable impression of you has greatly improved. His wariness and resistance have also dropped to an all-time low. It will be easier for us to increase our favorable impression in the future!" 007 happily walked around An Yao.

A circle.

"So I'm telling you, when dealing with a very defensive person like a wolf cub, you must learn how to boil a frog in warm water, slowly change his view day and night, and take good care of him. I don't believe it.

He can also turn black!"

An Yao clenched his fists and cheered himself up.

She looked around, then picked up a few vines from the surrounding ground one after another, and threw them all into the basket on her back. Most of the remaining vines on the ground were withered.

She looked up at the vines hanging from the tree, but unfortunately she couldn't reach them. She couldn't climb trees yet.

Jin saw her intention and climbed up the tree in two or three times. His body was as agile as a leopard. He stretched out his hand and pulled down a few long and strong ivy. "You want to use these ivy to weave this thing in your hand?"

He was referring to the fish basket.

"Yes, help me pull a few more fish baskets. I plan to make a bigger fish basket this time, double-layered!" She knew that the wolf cub was the smartest.

Jin nodded, then raised his head and looked around carefully, and pulled out a dozen tree vines that were softer than ivy, which were more suitable for weaving fish baskets and would not break easily.

The two of them were busy, and it was getting late. Jin carried the ivy and went home, while An Yao handled the fish by the river like last time, and then hurriedly followed the man.

After she left completely, a long and thick black shadow quietly appeared on the water. With a splash, the water broke, and a round snake head emerged from the water. It was still chewing fish bones and a few broken green leaves in its mouth.

Teng, it was he who bit the fish basket just now.

She is such a smart female that she can let food fall into her own trap.
