55: Danger Encountered at Dahei Salt Pit While Out Salt Harvesting

After a day of busy work, a sense of exhaustion quickly set in.

Lu Fan couldn't help but yawn.

In the livestream room.

"So many things happened today."

"Great God Lu Fan, you've worked hard."

"Not only did he create a hotbed to cultivate seeds, but he also gained new members."

"Great God Lu Fan is truly amazing. He achieved in one day what others couldn't in several days."

Lu Fan tidied up his supplies and climbed into his bed.

Suddenly, he got up again and slapped Big Black.

"If you dare to eat the sheep, you're finished."

Big Black immediately retracted its gaze, showing a dazed expression.

"Hahaha, Big Black is playing dumb because it has a guilty conscience."

"Big Black: Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation."

"What should you do if your child is always craving snacks in the middle of the night? Haha, just give them a good beating."

After a warning, Lu Fan returned to his room to sleep, and Big Black also crawled into its dog bed.

The next morning, after a quick wash, Lu Fan began preparing breakfast for one person and three beasts.

As the Shelter members grew, Lu Fan realized another problem.

The previously stored salt was rapidly depleting and was now critically low.

In the days of Wilderness Survival, salt was by no means an ordinary seasoning.

For Lu Fan, salt was key to maintaining normal bodily functions.

The labor in the wilderness made him sweat profusely every day, causing a significant loss of salt from his body.

Without sufficient salt replenishment, his body would gradually weaken, experiencing fatigue, dizziness, and other symptoms, severely impacting subsequent survival activities.

For Big Horn and Big Black, salt was equally indispensable.

Big Horn, as a strong helper for carrying loads and transportation, had huge daily consumption, and salt helped it maintain its physical strength.

Big Black was lively and active, with a fast metabolism. Salt helped stabilize its nervous system and maintain good mobility.

As for Baa Baa, the production of high-quality sheep's milk depended on sufficient salt intake.

Lack of salt would not only affect Baa Baa's milk yield but also significantly reduce the quality of the sheep's milk.

This was undoubtedly a huge loss for Lu Fan, as sheep's milk was an important source of nutrition.

Furthermore, food preservation was a major issue in the wilderness.

Salt helped Lu Fan cure meat, extending the shelf life of food for emergencies.

After much deliberation, Lu Fan knew that if he wanted to survive long-term in this wilderness, he had to replenish his salt supply as soon as possible.

Thus, he resolutely decided to take Big Horn and Big Black to the Salt Mine Mountain he had discovered before, to mine salt once again.

Healthy Wild Rabbit * 10000

Looking at the plump Wild Rabbit in Big Black's mouth, Lu Fan couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, saving Big Black was the right choice. Leaving everything else aside, simply obtaining prey became much easier.

Even if Lu Fan was professional, he couldn't compare to an adult wild wolf that had lived in the wild all its life.

"Good job, Big Black."

Lu Fan rubbed Big Black's head, and Big Black couldn't help but stick out its tongue.

After putting the Wild Rabbit into Big Horn's basket, Lu Fan continued on his way.

This time, there were no further incidents on the road, and they smoothly arrived at the Salt Mine Mountain they had discovered before.

The Salt Mine Mountain looked like a huge white gem casually discarded by the earth, sparkling with tiny glints in the sun.

As soon as they arrived, relying on their animal instincts, Big Horn and Big Black went up to lick the rocks, extracting salt from them.

"We need to mine a lot today. Since Baa Baa arrived, our salt consumption has increased much faster."

Lu Fan said, picking up his self-made iron pickaxe. The tool looked a bit crude, but in Lu Fan's hands, it was like professional mining equipment.

Big Horn stood obediently to the side, occasionally rubbing the nearby rocks with its horn, as if cheering Lu Fan on.

Big Black, on the other hand, was as excited as a little madman, running around the Salt Mine Mountain, occasionally digging at the salt grains on the ground with its paws, having a great time.

Lu Fan began mining, striking the Salt Mine with hammer blow after hammer blow, each one full of vigor.

White salt blocks peeled off the mountain bit by bit, and in a short while, a small pile had accumulated.

"Haha, at this rate, we'll have enough salt for a long time!" Lu Fan said proudly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

But just then, an accident occurred. Overly excited, Big Black wasn't paying attention to its footing while running and suddenly let out a yelp, falling into a hidden crack in the Salt Mine.

"Big Black!" Lu Fan screamed in horror, dropping his tools and rushing to the crack.

Big Horn was also startled by the sudden turn of events and quickly followed, letting out worried cries.

The crack looked deep and dark, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, and Lu Fan couldn't see the bottom.

"Big Black, are you okay?" Lu Fan anxiously called out.

His voice echoed in the crack, but only Big Black's faint whimpers could be heard.

The livestream room instantly exploded.

"Oh my goodness, how could Big Black be so careless!"

"Quick, think of something, Great God Lu Fan!"

"This crack looks so deep, will Big Black be in danger?"

"They won't be in any danger, will they?"

Wang Tao and Zhao Hangjun were also nervously staring at the screen.

Wang Tao said, "Teacher Zhao, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Zhao Hangjun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "First, we need to determine if Big Black is injured, and then figure out a way to rescue it.

This crack appears to have been formed during an earthquake, so be careful of the surrounding rock structure to prevent secondary collapse."

Lu Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He took out a rope from his backpack. This rope was carefully woven by him from vines, and its strength was quite good.

He tied one end to a huge rock nearby, then slowly lowered the rope into the crack.

"Big Black, grab the rope!" he shouted loudly.

But only Big Black's panicked cries came from the crack, with no sign of it grabbing the rope.

"No, this crack is too dark. Big Black probably can't see the rope," Lu Fan muttered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Fan had another idea.

He removed one of the baskets from Big Horn's back, tied it with vines, and lowered it into the wide crack.

To carry more salt, Lu Fan had specifically brought two of the largest baskets this time, large enough to hold Big Black's body.

"Big Black, jump into the basket."

The viewers in the livestream room held their breath, staring intently at the screen.

"Great God Lu Fan is so clever, using a basket. I hope Big Black understands what he means."

Just as everyone was anxious, Big Black seemed to finally understand Lu Fan's meaning and jumped into the basket.

Lu Fan felt a pull and rejoiced, "Big Black, hold on, I'll pull you up!"
