Chronicles of Primordial Wars

At first glance, this saltland looks like a snowy field, covered most of the ground in white.

There are some depressed shallow pits on the ground that melt after the snow has fallen and come together.

On a snowy white floor, a salt blossom emerges from the ground like a coral, every salt blossom center, color or dark or light, or red or blue, at first glance, like a fairy land. However, those who knew the place could not avoid it.

There's salt everywhere, but it's poisoned, eaten, licked animals, not spared. So, for a long time, it was a place of acknowledged danger, and whoever went in would die, and even the Ash people said, "This is the cemetery of the salt beast, and whoever comes near it and violates their tombs will be punished." This is a demonized zone.

It wasn't until someone walked into the salt field and found the salt mine that the dead land survived.

Click, click, click...

A slight clicking, coming from the shallow pit of the depression.

Shao Xuan saw that an orange yellow crystal column emerged from the shallow pit, looking like a crystal delicate texture, crystal clear. Crystal columns are like seedlings that emerge from broken soil, growing up and forking. As it grows up, the crystal column surface also becomes translucent from transparent and then covered with a layer of white cream, and when it grows to nearly half a person high and stops growing up, the whole thing is almost as salt flowers elsewhere on this salt field, but the color is just a little different, and it looks slightly orange.

This is just one of the salt flowers that "blossoms" out, some of the other depressed shallow pits, and others that emerge, green, red, and even black.

Such a beautiful scene, reminiscent of previous legends here, gives a creepy feeling to those who see it.

“Come on, don't eat them.” The conscription said.

Step on the saltland and hear a clear clicking sound, which is much louder than on the snow, stepping on the salt layer on the ground. Beneath the feet are large, small, cracked salt crystals, chunky, flaky, large stepped, small stepped into powder.

Try to walk as high as you can to avoid the shallow pits of the depressions. The leather boots are soaked with water stains. After drying, salt will come out. Those that can't be eaten are toxic.

“Footprints!” Dokan points in one direction.

Footprints left on the salt land will remain for a while, even if the temperature rises, they will not melt as quickly as snow.

“There are about two hundred people, not more than three hundred, who stay no more than four days.” Wacha is already familiar with the saltland and can be judged roughly by the traces on the ground.

“It is presumably the Fox tribe, and it is not like the two tribes have left behind a new group of them.” Sasha followed up and said.

The Fox tribe will be more organized when they leave, and the Forest tribe will be more chaotic than these, so these footprints will not be left behind by the two tribes.

“No rest tonight, keep going!” The conscription shouted.

Although, according to past habits, they will definitely stop to rest and mend in front of the enemy and in order to maintain sufficient physical strength to confront the enemy, which is the rush of the previous days, they have also stopped to rest at night, but after listening to Shao Xuan, Xuan decided to change the previous practice.

There is no hot broth, no warm rice porridge, hungry can only eat the dry meat frozen in the hard state, all the salty smell in the air, can be heard in the ears, except the wind whistle, is the footsteps clicking on the salt ground.

Good thing it wasn't windy or snowy this evening, much calmer than it was the other day.

Such tranquillity can easily cause slackening, but it keeps pushing, keeping everyone nervous and not complaining, they just know that if you listen to the chief, the chief won't hurt them.

At the same time, in salt mines.

Several fierce fox tribesmen in thick fur and forest tribesmen negotiated in salt holes.

This is the salt hole of the fierce fox tribe.

The salt beneath the salt mine is layered, a layer of rock, a layer of salt mine, and then a layer of rock, and then a salt mine. However, they enjoyed digging down the first floor before it was finished, and they finally dug something up a while ago, just not expecting it, so much surprise.

Finally, they chose to be allied with the Forest tribe. The nature of the mountain wind was too strange for the people of the fierce fox tribe to look at them, and the relationship between the flaming horn and the Thai river tribe was close. One knew, the other was not far away, so after the exclusion of the three, it was the Forest tribe. Though forest tribes sometimes seem arrogant, when it comes to crystals, forest tribes can also be smart enough to temporarily put away their ego.

At this time, six high-ranking members of the two tribes gathered together and placed several large, eye-catching crystals among them.

“This was dug out today, there are more crystals below, but the further down it is, the harder it is to dig, there are not 30 or 50 days, not necessarily enough to dig, in the meantime, Flaming Horn and Thai River their people come.” A man dressed in brown animal skin, his hair scattered freely and his face was rough, he said. This is the Forest tribe people.

“As far as we know, mountain breezers may have joined forces with Flaming Horn and the Thai River to rob the mines here. Though we use salt to lure some people in, we have to be more protective. Flaming horns don't do so well.” The leader of the fierce fox said.

“In this weather, will they come too?” The Forest Tribes suspect.

“If they really came in the snow, they'd know the secret of the crystal!” The leader of the fierce fox revealed a harsh face. They've split up half to the Sen tribe, and the flesh has been sore for a long time. If it wasn't for the three tribes, why should they divide the benefits?! They won't allow anyone else to join in to share!

Same thing happened to the Sen tribes.

Cuckoo--

A strange cry came from outside the hole, listening to the sound flying this way.

A man from the Forest clan raised his hand, a grey shadow shouted and rested on his arm.

It's a bird, it looks like a raptor, but it's not big.

The bird shook the hair on his body like it was shaking, and then shouted at the Forest tribe man.

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo--

The Mori tribe's face changed, “The Thai River people are coming to the salt mine, and they are now approaching the salt land. They knew the secret of the crystal!! ”

“The people of the Thai River have come, and I'm sure the people of Horn of Fire are not far away. Must have been the last time a mountain wind detected a crystal, so join them. They are estimated to arrive at the salt mine at a later date.” The mind of the leader of the fierce fox has been calculated several times, "he said.

“Later?” The Forest tribes are silent, "I'm afraid within three days, the previous plan will change. ”

Speaking of this fierce fox, he was also depressed. He had already arranged a few plans, and the platoon was set up, but was interrupted by sudden weather changes. Forest tribes were always sensitive to weather changes, and they could speculate from the changes in grass trees in the mountain forest. Says it's bound to change in three days, even get stronger, and that's definitely going to happen.

“Hard spelling doesn't necessarily stop them, especially the flaming horns.” The leader of the fierce fox is gauging the impact that tripartite cooperation can have on them.

“So what do we do?” The Mori tribe frowned.

A woman with long, narrow eyes sitting beside the leader of the fierce fox flashed with a smile, "It's not impossible. ”

Several others looked at the women in full.

A woman dressed in red fur raised her hand and stroked a white fox in her arms, "The heavens do change, but not for three days. In two days, there will be a huge change! ”

As if to the woman, the fox in her arms raised her head and whispered.

“Two days? How do you know?” The Forest Tribes suspect.

“I don't care how you find out, but I'm sure the mutation will happen within two days.” Women speak calmly and have great confidence in what they say.

“Even if things change in two days, what can you do about it? ”

“The solution is simple.” Women are not in a hurry, "the heavens are changing, the manpower is unstoppable, and if it happens, it can only bear it, or find a place to hide. Here at the salt mine, the only place to hide is the salt hole. ”

“You mean…” Others already have some idea. The salt mines are the only sanctuaries opened by their five tribes, and of course, the salt holes of their five tribes.

“But if there are no salt holes, say," Where can the mountain winds, the flaming horns and the Thai river escape once the sky has changed? "”

“Destroy their salt holes!” The eyes of the others burst with fine light.

“On the Thai River, the soonest the day after, Flaming Horn and Mountain Wind will certainly be the same, and we will destroy those salt holes tomorrow. When they arrive, we just have to guard our holes, and the salt holes are easy to hit, and they're blocked outside, under the weather, and even if they want to destroy our salt holes, they don't have that much time.” The leader of the fierce fox said.

“Nice.” The woman smiled and agreed with the nod,

“It's just that the salt holes in their three tribes have been destroyed, and how have the people you recruited been accommodated?” The Forest Tribes asked.

“Make way for the salt holes on your side of the Forest tribe and let them go in and hide. We'll just have to send some more people on both sides to keep an eye on it, and it's important to keep an eye on it.” The woman said.

It is not necessary to temporarily give up their salt holes. For the sake of the crystal, the people of the Forest tribe can temporarily lay down the salt mines, “But what if the three tribes of Mountain Wind robbed the salt holes over there? ”

“What if we take it? If they can take it, they must be dead and wounded. What are we afraid of?” The woman said. Three of the five salt holes were destroyed. They were heavily guarded on their side. Even if the last salt holes were seized, many of the people who died were temporary helpers they had brought in with salt. If they died, they were not the ones who died. They could quench the battle power of the three tribes. Why not?

It was a good decision, but they didn't know that there was one who didn't play cards according to the usual rules, rushing all night.
