Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 258 is just missing a reason
"After you return, tell the shaman and the clan chief about the cured meat. Let them handle the rest."

The two had arrived at their previous sleeping place. Wu Yue nodded and sat down in a grass nest nearby: "If possible, it would be best to teach each member of the tribe."

Yuan Lang smiled and shook his head: "I probably won't teach it to every member of the clan, because it would be too easy for the knowledge to spread."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him: "They don't have that much salt."

Yuan Lang was taken aback, then laughed as well.

Indeed, salt is now the most precious resource in the polar forests; it's something that can't be bought with food.

Yuan Lang tore the cured meat in his hand into several thin strips and stuffed them into the open bamboo jar on the side.

Wu Yue frowned: "There's not much water left, we can just eat it like this."

Yuan Lang merely glanced at her with a smile, and after a moment, took the cured meat out of the jar, shredded it into strips thinner than a finger, and placed it directly into Wu Yue's hand: "Eat quickly."

He then got up, took the water bottle, and went to the orc warriors who were excitedly munching on the cured meat: "Rinse it in the water before eating."

The beastmen looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Yuan Lang, food preserved with salt can be stored for such a long time. Now that we have so much salt, can we store more food?"

"Yes, yes, we hunt a lot of wild animals and then preserve them with salt so that we don't have to worry about starving to death in the winter."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the beastmen, Yuan Lang felt a pang of sadness: "If you know to stay here and eat, then go and get to work. If you dig through the cave as soon as possible, will we still have to worry about food before the rainy season?"

Upon hearing this, the tribesmen instantly transformed back into their orc form, stuffed the cured meat into their mouths, and ran off towards the cave.

"Brothers, what are we waiting for? Let's dig a hole!" As the dust settled, Wu Yue, standing not far away, looked at Yuan Lang's dark, handsome face and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yuan Lang wiped the layer of black ash off his face, feeling utterly defeated.

Behind a row of meat racks, Teng Qian and Teng Kun were secretly gnawing on meat while watching the two people outside.

“Brother, don’t you think the scene of the eldest brother and Yue standing together looks a lot like the scene in the storybooks we used to read, where the scholar and the young lady look at each other?”

Tengkun shoved the last bit of meat in his mouth, then stood up and looked at his brother: "I didn't expect you to be reading those kinds of picture books, brother. Be careful, or I'll go and tell the general on you."

Teng Qian was dumbfounded: "What the hell happened to me? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring up past grievances now?"

Teng Kun said seriously, "But many times, the general just lacks a reason to teach you a lesson."

Teng Qian: "That hits home, bro!"

As the two were talking, a suppressed but excited cheer suddenly came from inside the cave: "We've dug through! We've dug through! We can move all these salt crystals back to the tribe!"

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang turned and headed towards the cave.

The orc warriors who had just gone in were gradually emerging from the cave, with the chieftain and some middle-aged orc warriors being the last to come out.

"Chief, you've come too?"
