Chapter 266 The Wolf King and the Little Mute 22

The long spring is over, the temperature is rising, and summer is coming in full force.

When it comes to winter, the tribe is afraid of snow, temperature drop and food.

In the summer, what they worry about is high temperatures, precipitation, and still food.

The temperature in summer is too high, and food is particularly easy to rot. If it is not air-dried as soon as possible, the prey killed in the morning will often not survive until the evening, let alone the next day.

Therefore, finding a way to keep food from spoiling for a long time is now a headache for the tribe.

After all, the tribe is now focusing more on making pottery pots, growing vegetables and other sustainable foods, and it is not possible to allocate most of the manpower to go out hunting every day.

Chu Yun once thought about using salt to pickle things, which is the most common preservation method used by humans.

But Chu Jun thought about it again and felt that it was not very feasible.

The wolf tribe's main source of salt is ore. The wolf tribe has only found a small mine, and the salt content in the ore is limited. The extracted salt is only enough for daily consumption. They cannot waste it so much when pickling food.

As for engaging in breeding so that wolves can have livestock for sustainable consumption, it is not very realistic at the moment.

Because the main problem is that livestock in ancient times have not yet been domesticated. They are too wild and too difficult to be kept in captivity. The wolf tribe currently has no time to deal with this.

Rabbits are timid, so maybe they can be raised.

But there is not enough rabbit meat and it cannot meet the daily expenses of the wolf tribe.

"Salt is still necessary. Salt is indispensable for tribal development. If there is any tribal trade later in this game, salt can also be used as hard currency." Chu Jun thought.

When talking about salt, we can’t avoid the sea, so Chu Jun set his sights on the sea water.

I just don't know how far this place is from the ocean...

If it's not far away, you can also eat different delicacies, thinking of the various delicious seafood in the ocean. If you can eat the seafood barbecue made by Mo Heng...

The more Chu Jun thought about it, the more he felt that finding the sea was imperative!

However, leaving the tribe and traveling a long distance is not an easy task. Chu Jun must first get Mo Heng's support.

But before that, Chu Jun had to find a way to make Mo Heng understand what he was going to do.

Wolves who have lived inland for a long time may not even know the ocean.

Chu Yun found Mo Heng who was supervising the vegetable planting, pulled him aside, and prepared to draw on the ground with a wooden stick for him to see.

Mo Heng watched patiently from the side, not disturbing Chu Yun's painting.

As a Mr. Chu who once had the title of a famous painter, Chu Yun first painted their clan land in a very realistic way. Seeing that Mo Heng could see it instantly, he then painted an area full of waves to act as the ocean.

Afterwards, Chu Jun pointed with his scissors from the clan land towards the ocean, telling Mo Heng simply and clearly that this was the place he wanted to go.

Mo Heng nodded and asked, "Is Yun going somewhere?"

Mo Heng knew that Yun always had some strange ideas, but today he really couldn't understand what Yun was painting.

Is it a lake? Not really. There is nothing in the lake like what Yun drew. And if it were a painting of the lake, Yun wouldn't have gone to the trouble of drawing it for him.

Chu Jun couldn't bring himself to talk to Mo Heng about the ocean, because he didn't know whether the wolf tribe had ever been to the end of the continent, and how far this place was from the end of the continent.

He could only try his best to draw various things in the ocean on the ground, hoping that Mo Heng would understand.

"Ocean?" Mo Heng looked at a creature with eight snake tails drawn by Yun, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He saw Yun's eyes light up and nodded frantically at him.

"Ocean" was a place he had heard about from other ethnic groups on a trading day one year. He heard that there was inexhaustible water there and that salt could be produced in the water.

In the water there, there is a creature with many snake-like tails that can firmly cling to people. It is very strange.

After Mo Heng said the word "ocean", a prompt box popped up in front of Chu Jun again.

[Congratulations! Trigger the keyword "Ocean"]

[On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is... seafood!

The poor wolf tribe has never seen the sea!

You are so kind-hearted, you will definitely help the wolf tribe, right?

Let’s lead the wolf tribe to open up a new map~]

[New Task—Seafood!]

[Mission Objective: Lead the wolf tribe (at least one tribe member) to find the ocean

Tip: As a moral system, we will naturally help you. The sea is to the south of the tribe.

What? You ask me where the South is?

Oh! My dear, I believe you are smart enough to know where the south is.

If Chu Jun didn't have a game controller to throw, he would have thrown it to show the game how high it was.

"A moral system? How dare this system do this! If only they could return the money he deposited earlier!"

"Yun?" Mo Heng stood aside and somehow suddenly felt the murderous aura coming from Yun.

The fearless and majestic wolf king's first reaction was not to show hostility towards Chu Jun, but to unconsciously tuck his tail between his legs, and a little fear arose in his heart.

The poor wolf king didn't know if he had said something wrong, but it was definitely right to behave like a wolf by keeping his tail between his legs when facing his partner.

Chu Jun looked away from the dialog box and saw Mo Heng's stiff expression. Only then did he realize that he was already in the game. Emotions would be expressed in real time, and he couldn't get too angry.

"What's wrong?" Chu Jun tilted his head and pretended to be stupid towards Mo Heng.

"It's okay..." The murderous intent on Yun's body suddenly disappeared, and Mo Heng felt that he might have been wrong before.

Yun has always been obedient and sensible, so how could there be a murderous aura in him? No, no.

After Mo Heng comforted himself, he began to think about the problem of the ocean.

Yun wants to go to the ocean, but that is not an easy thing and may require some planning.

Chu Jun was also thinking that since he had received the system task, it meant that "searching for the ocean" was something the wolf clan could accomplish.

However, there are two problems facing Chu Yun now.

First, he had to prepare something that could clearly indicate his direction before he could set out. Otherwise, if he walked into the deep mountains and forests where he could not see the sun and accidentally got lost, the danger would increase exponentially.

Fortunately, Chu Yun had found natural magnets before and could make a compass.

The second problem was that he didn't know how far the ocean was from the tribe.

Judging from the tribe’s previous hunting range, the ocean is at least two days’ journey away from the tribe. If they go out to search the ocean, including the round-trip journey, it will take them at least a week to return.

Also, the dangers of traveling far away are too unpredictable...

However, the temptation of seafood and salt was too great. Looking at his tribesmen who were worried about food, Chu Jun decided to set out to find the ocean.
