Chapter 221 Killing Three Birds with One Stone (Bonus Chapter)

Black Wind approached and took a look. Seeing that the salt well was bottomless, he hesitated and said, "The salt has seeped into the well. How do we get it out?"
When Su Nuannuan saw the pit, she guessed that Su Luoluo must have put the salt water into the pit, but she wondered how she could pump the water out.

However, although she didn't know how she did it, she wasn't without other methods.

She glanced at the earthenware jar she had brought and said, "Find a vine to tie it up, and then scoop out the water."

"That's a good idea." After hearing this, Black Wind immediately got the people in the Black Pig Tribe busy.

Looking at the "remains" left by Su Luoluo, Su Nuannuan pointed to the pit and said, "Pour the water you scooped up here."

Since Su Luoluo has already prepared it, why doesn't she just use it?
Su Luoluo probably never imagined that she would use what she had worked so hard to make!
Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan felt a surge of pleasure.

Throwing the earthenware pot into the salt well and then pulling it up again would make it much heavier.

It took several black boar orcs working together to barely lift the water up.

However, after a few attempts, the earthenware pot cracked and leaked a lot of water.

Seeing this, Black Hair murmured, "If we used the wolf clan's pottery jars, they definitely wouldn't crack. Their pottery jars are very exquisite."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan glared at him fiercely.

After realizing that Su Nuannuan was unhappy, Hei Mao stopped talking.

Watching the water leak down, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but frown and say, "Didn't you eat? If you don't have enough strength, add a few more people."

There are only a few wells, and with so many people in the tribe, are you worried about not having enough strength?
Upon hearing this, the people in the tribe immediately added a few more people to the group.

Gradually, a lot of water accumulated in the pit.

The black boar-beastman discovered that the salt left over from the water draining from the pit was too heavy to lift even after being put into a leather bag. He asked Su Nuannuan, "Madam, this salt is too heavy. What should we do next?"

Wasn't the salt from Su Luoluo put into animal skin bags after the water had flowed away?
Su Nuannuan frowned when she saw the heavy salt.

I never imagined that salt would be so troublesome to process.

Seeing that she couldn't take it with her, she had no choice but to extract the salt on the spot.

But this would expose their whereabouts.

Su Nuannuan thought about it and realized that doing so wasn't entirely impossible.

Perfect timing, she wanted to get rid of the wolf clan.

Killing three birds with one stone, that's great.

Thinking of this, she said to the people of the Black Pig tribe, "Go and gather some wood, put the pottery jars on the table, and purify the salt on the spot before you leave."

Upon hearing that Su Nuannuan wanted to purify salt on the spot, Heifeng was quite surprised and said, "Nuannuan, didn't you say before that you were afraid of being discovered and wanted to purify salt in the tribe?"

Su Nuannuan smiled and whispered a few words in Heifeng's ear, "This way, all the salt wells will belong to us from now on. With these, Heifeng, we can exchange them for even more things with other tribes."

Hei Feng listened with a look of agreement, "Nuan Nuan's idea is good. We just need to sit back and wait to see them fight."

Su Nuannuan watched Su Luoluo purify the salt clearly and memorized the method she used. She extracted the salt in no time.

When Hei Feng saw that Su Nuannuan had actually purified the salt, he couldn't help but hug her and exclaim in surprise, "Nuannuan, you are so smart! This salt is even finer and whiter than the salt purified in the city-state."

The salt that Su Nuannuan purified not only delighted Hei Feng, but also made the people of the Black Pig Tribe admire Su Nuannuan once again.

"The Chief's wife is amazing! We don't lack salt anymore."

"The Chief's wife is amazing!"

"The Chief's wife is amazing!"

The cheers from the Black Pig Tribe made Su Nuannuan feel smug again.

This is the life that truly belongs to Su Nuannuan.

The people of the Black Pig Tribe returned home after a busy day, their harvest plentiful.

As for the wolf tribe, Su Zhao went straight to bed after returning.

Hong Shuang wanted to find out some information, but she didn't know how. Su Luoluo and the other beastmen, having been busy all day, went back to their rooms to sleep.

Su Luoluo directly asked Mo Xuan to bring the salt to the ring-tailed lemurs. After receiving the salt, they were amazed again. Since recognizing Su Luoluo as their leader, their lives had been getting better and better. The priest was indeed insightful. It was a pity that he was not in the tribe now, as he was helping the leader with his affairs.

Su Zhao handed over the wolf clan's salt to Su Yang.

Remembering what Su Luoluo had said, Su Yang didn't distribute the salt, but instead put it in the warehouse and hid it away.

Although the tribe now eats separately, he still decided to let the females come and get their own food.

If this Hong Shuang really has a problem, then we should be careful around her.

Having obtained the salt and exhausted from a long day, the people of the tribe remained quiet.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Yang realized something was wrong.

The wolf-beastmen who used to patrol the Salt Well Cave haven't returned yet, so he quickly called a few people to go and check. When they returned, they brought back corpses. This sudden change made him immediately on high alert.

He had someone call Su Luoluo over.

Su Luoluo was shocked to see the person she had been with during the day suddenly die. "Father, what happened?"

Su Yang shook his head with a serious expression. "I don't know either. Yi De said they saw signs of burning in the cave, as if someone had discovered the salt well."

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo frowned. "I'll go take a look."

After saying that, she called Luan Ting to come with her. The others saw Su Luoluo and Luan Ting leave the tribe and followed them.

Su Luoluo first went to Yangyaozi Valley to check it out, and after finding nothing unusual, she went to Yanjing Cave.

The salt well cave was completely soaked, unlike when they left. According to the time they left, the soil should be dry by now, not wet. There were also traces of fire inside the cave.

Su Luoluo frowned and said, "It seems that this group of people not only knows how to mine salt, but also how to purify it."

She crouched down, wiped the dust off the ground, and recognized it immediately: "This is wood ash."

Besides her, is there anyone else in this beast world who knows how to use wood ash?
Could it be that a new time traveler has arrived?

No, there's one more person?

As Su Luoluo was deep in thought, a sudden gust of wind swept over, and then Xiao Ye pulled her away and got entangled with someone.

Su Luoluo, hiding behind Xiao Ye, finally saw hundreds of jackal beastmen surge into the Salt Well Cave.

Several beastmen quickly joined the fight.

There were many fire jackals, several of them at the fifth rank. Xiao Ye and his team had a tough time fighting them, but they didn't let the enemy gain any advantage either.

"Beacon Fire, it's been a long time. You've all resorted to despicable sneak attacks." Luan Tingbao lightly rubbed the ground with his paw, his sharp gaze fixed on the jackal before him.

"Luan Ting, don't speak so harshly. Salt wells are such a valuable resource, and you didn't tell anyone about them, yet you took them for yourselves. We're just here to take what's rightfully ours."

"Why all the nonsense? Bring it on!" Xiao Ye's purple eyes turned cold, his tongue flicking out, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

Feng Huo's pupils contracted, and he instantly transformed into a fire jackal, launching an attack on Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye curled his tail and lashed it at the fire jackal, wrapping it around its neck.

There were quite a few people from the Fire Jackal tribe, and the others dealt with the Fire Jackals.

Su Luoluo was protected behind Xiao Ye and was not injured. She watched the two groups of people fight with great interest.

Suddenly, a fiery red bird swooped down from the sky and attacked Su Luoluo.

"careful!"

Before Su Luoluo could react, she was snatched away.

It's past midnight! My darlings, please vote! (There's a plot point I haven't figured out, so this chapter is a bit stuck. I'll revise it carefully tomorrow, so please bear with it for now—it'll get better later on!)
