"Poison salt?"
Li Fan heard the novel words. Is this kind of strange salt still abundant in other worlds?
Xiao Qing replied without thinking much: "There is a cliff over there in the east, and there are poisonous salts under the cliff. Those poisonous salts are very strange, like dark brown crystals. Many animals will lick them when they want to eat salt. It's okay if animals lick it, but if we orcs, including humans, dwarves, and elves, lick it, we'll get diarrhea if we lick it too much, and we'll get poisoned if we lick it too much."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qing showed a frightened expression, and even Xiao Bai on the other side couldn't help but tremble all over.
It was obvious that the so-called poisonous salt left a deep impression on the two of them.
Perhaps thinking of the misery he suffered when he ate poisonous salt, Xiaoqing lost his appetite and put down the barbecue in his hand.
"Every winter comes, if we don't prepare winter salt in advance, we can only rely on those poisonous salts to get through the winter, but the poisonous salts are poisonous. There is a 'sinner' dwarf who can't buy salt, so he eats it all day long Those poisonous salts were already dead when they were discovered later. I heard that his whole body was purple at that time, which was terrifying."
Li Fan fell into thinking as he listened. It would be very difficult for those who could not enter the gathering place to survive in the sinful forest.
Even when you are a child, nothing is left to chance.
Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were obviously used to it, and in a blink of an eye they forgot about the poisonous salt. Their appetites were greatly increased under the salt, and they continued to attack the barbecue.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Fan stood up abruptly, his eyes bursting with disbelief.
"It's a salt mine, yes, it must be a salt mine. What else could it be besides a salt mine?"
Li Fan spoke with an overly excited and exaggerated smile on his face.
Xiaoqing and Xiaobai on the side thought that Li Fan had suddenly suffered a serious illness and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
...
Salt mines were formed after ancient seawater and lakes dried up.
Generally speaking, salt mines are buried hundreds of meters underground, but some are exposed on the surface.
In addition to salt, this salt mine also contains many impurities and cannot be eaten directly.
Otherwise, as Dina said, the mild case will be diarrhea, and the serious case will be poisoning and death.
But Li Fan still vaguely remembered that edible salt could be extracted from salt mines after dilution, filtration and other steps.
Li Fan doesn't remember the specific steps, but he can redeem various books in his system mall, and you can find the extraction process by just looking for one.
"Doesn't this mean that I can easily obtain a large amount of salt?"
Li Fan thought, and his heart couldn't help but beat a few times.
He was so excited that he immediately hugged Xiaoqing and wanted to give this guy who brought him great news a big kiss.
Xiao Qing was so frightened by Li Fan's sudden move that she even forgot to resist.
Seeing the little girl lose her first kiss.
Fortunately, Li Fan was unable to attack a lolita like Xiaoqing in the end.
So he just held Xiaoqing and turned him around in a few big circles, then put him down.
However, this series of actions still confused Xiaoqing for a long time, and it took a long time for her to recover from the shock.
No wonder Li Fan had such a big reaction. His biggest problem now is lack of salt.
Salt is really important in this sinful forest. The scarcer something is, the greater its value is.
Having mastered salt, it can be said that he now has unimaginable wealth and countless bond points.
With just such a short period of practice, most of the problems that troubled Li Fan were solved in an instant. How could Li Fan not be excited?
...
After the excitement, a question appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Xiao Qing should be talking about the salt mine. As long as it is a salt mine, he can filter out countless salts immediately.
So should he tell Dina and the orcs that the salt mine can be filtered into table salt?
Li Fan hesitated and finally decided not to say anything.
It's not the idea that people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves.
But he was worried that if he said it, it might cause unimaginable consequences.
It's not difficult to understand.
Tell the orcs that 'poison salt' can be turned into table salt.
Will the orcs be satisfied after getting enough salt for the winter?
Certainly not.
Orcs are short-sighted, but that doesn't mean they don't have some thoughts.
Faced with salt that can be turned into endless wealth, the honest orcs will definitely use this salt to gain benefits.
And once the news that the 'toxic salt' can be turned into table salt was leaked outside the Sin Forest.
When the entire magical continent is short of salt, no one can withstand the temptation of endless salt.
Li Fan knew with his butt that the Sinful Forest would soon become a target of public criticism.
By then, not to mention the four major tribes, I am afraid that except for the Sea Tribe, who is not short of salt, all the alien races will focus their attention here.
War was inevitable then.
It won't take long for the Sinful Forest to turn into an endless hell, and then completely disappear from the magical continent.
Not only could Li Fan not tell this matter, he also had to cover up the secret at all costs.
...
Later, Li Fan inquired a lot about poisonous salt from Xiaoqing.
Finally, before Dina and Anna came back, they found out the location of the salt mine.
Then Li Fan pretended to look normal and walked back with Dina and Anna.
After parting ways with the Dina sisters, Li Fan first returned to Sinful Town with part of the magic core and monster skins.
After exchanging 10 pieces of Warcraft skins for 5 silver coins, he walked towards the location Xiao Qing mentioned.
...
The location of the salt mine is not close to Sin Town, which is good news for Li Fan, as it can largely avoid the risk of being discovered.
However, because of this, the chance of encountering Warcraft also greatly increases.
Fortunately, the salt mine is still located in the outer area of the Sin Forest. Even if it encounters a monster, it will only be a level 1 monster.
With Li Fan's current strength, it is still very easy to deal with level 1 monsters.
After getting rid of a Level 1 Warcraft Red-tusked Wild Boar, Li Fan finally came to the cliff Xiao Qing mentioned.
There are indeed dark brown crystal stones at the bottom of the cliff.
Li Fan stroked the stones, and finally licked them directly with his tongue.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
It's salty as hell, bitter and astringent at the same time, but there's no doubt that it's a salt mine.
It is a salt mine from which table salt can be extracted.
There are more than a dozen such crystallized stones, each one as big as a small mountain.
It can weigh at least hundreds of thousands of tons, and at least tens of thousands of tons of salt can be extracted.
