Yuan Zhan's hand tightened, and Yan Mo immediately yelled: "Wait! Why kill me? I said before that it’s in the South and that I didn't know the specific number of days... I have not been there, how can I know?"

"You either know or don't want to say, or you just lied." Although this kid saved him, it does not mean that he has no other thoughts about crossing them. How can another tribe completely believe in another person from another tribe?

"What do you mean? How did I lie to you? I am going with you. If it is dangerous, am I not in the same danger as you?" Yan Mo felt a headache. He is really deceiving them, but whoever is idiotic enough to admit it.

Bing shook his head and his face was full of sorrow. "You said that the end of the mainland is in the south and at the end of the mainland, there is a salt-producing sea, right?"

Yan Mo can only squeeze an answer through his grinding teeth: "Yes."

Bing said: “The Gaoshan man was looking for something, but he also said what he was looking for is possible to be found at the end of the mainland.”

When Bing made this outburst, Yan Mo suddenly wanted to give himself a slap in the face. He knows why Lie and Yuan Zhan got mad.

"Do you suspect that the Gaoshan warriors were also looking for new salt fields?" Yan Mo looked at Lie and the others.

Bing did not answer, but the expression on Lie and Yuan Zhan had already explained in the answer.

Shan and Diao reacted a little slower, until then it was not clear why Lie face was also ugly. It was related to the salt.

Meng looked at his brother, then at Bing, and finally at Yan Mo. He then stupidly asked: "What is wrong with this? Are you worried that the new salt land has been discovered and occupied by the Gaoshan people and the Sun Worshippers people?"

Yuan Zhan clenched Yan Mo's neck and forced him to look to his face before asking with a chilling tone: “Where is the new salt lands direction? To the east or the south, will you or will you not say it?!”

"South." Yan Mo clenched his fists, and the hidden gold needle in his waist was gripped hard by his hand. At this time, if he saves himself it will only indicate his guilty conscience.

"Do you still insist at the South?" Lie seems a bit amazed. “The Sun Worshippers territory is on the grasslands in the east, and the Gaoshan people planned to go to the end of the mainland to find something they couldn't find in their mountain. They were looking for it. If the Sun Worshippers still ride horses, obviously, they have already prepared. Doesn't this mean that the end of the mainland is actually in the east, and the sea you are talking about is also in the east?"

Meng finally understood, "ah" he yelled while his fingers pointed at the boy's nose: "You are deceiving us! Qiu Shi Da-Ren's warning is really wrong. He clearly told us that the East is the most correct way!"

Was he still defeated by the old priest? F*ck! 

This deep-rooted trust is terrible. F*ck again! 

"You still have the one last chance, Yan Mo." Lie cold voice promised bad things.

"Before, you saved Da He and also told us the method of fixing broken bones using wooden planks, so even if you are another tribe’s priest disciple, we chose to believe you and we did not tell on you to Qiu Shi Da-Ren."

Lie spoken words made Bing frown, but he soon suppressed this surprise.

"Now you saved Bing and Cao Ting and made a backpack and animal armor. If it is not necessary, we don't want to hurt you. But this is not to say we can let you deceive us, you should understand the consequences of deceiving us."

The voice from Lie was very gentle, but the killing expression on his face was very obvious.

"I didn't lie to you. Why should I lie to you?" Yan Mo smirked.

Zhan snorted and squeezed his neck. "Maybe you want to let your people find a new salt field first and then take us over. Afterwards, you can let the people who have already occupied the site save you by killing us.”

Hear! Who said that wild people didn't have a wild imagination? This reason is even so special for him who has been questioned.

Yan Mo reluctantly defended himself: "Are you that stupid? When you find someone there has occupied the salt lands, will you just stand there like a stick and let others kill you? Shouldn't I be afraid that you will kill me first? Besides, the Gaoshan man only said that he was looking for one thing, he didn't say that he was looking for salt. How can you be sure that he is looking for salt?" Motherf*cker how can you moron be so difficult to understand?

"We are not sure." Lie was very honest: "But you mentioned the end of the sea at the end of the mainland, and the Gaoshan man also said that he would go to the end of the mainland to find something. If it was you, would you doubt that the other party is also looking for salt?"

Yan Mo was going to like the genius god who made these primitive people. If they are primitive people, then why is their brain so smart? They should be stupid like a pig. If you are just flickering, would you take someone like me as a god? 

Of course, he also knows a tribe who began to keep slaves; even if their productivity is extremely backward and basic items such as needlework and clothes have not appeared, it did not mean that their brains are still in the enlightenment stage of the ancient primitive people.

The most important reason why they did not develop is probably because of the lack of materials. In addition, it is probably because the tribal priest secretly suppressed the inventions and discoveries in order to protect his mysterious power and status. These two points are part of the root cause of human development that has been proven in the development of the world in his original world.

In short, backward may represent ignorance, but it does not mean stupidity.

"At the end of the mainland is not just in the south," Yan Mo said. "Maybe the East, and even other directions may have an end."

Lie frowned: "This is not enough. I don't just need to know the direction now, I still need to know the specifics. How can you say we go south? Your priest can't just tell you to go only south without giving you any other tips. Now if you want to prove that you didn't deceive us, then come up with more powerful proof!"

What is a strong proof that I can give you? Maybe I should tell you to follow the river? Is that going to to take up to the Year of the Monkey to get there?

I am just a doctor, not a veteran explorer! But if you can give me a map of the world, I will be able to tell you exactly how to go! You take it out!

Speaking of the map, Yan Mo was eager to feel the importance of reducing the scum point. If he reduced the scum point by a thousand, he would be able to use the third article of The Guide now so as to know the geography and the hydrology situation in this land. Just don't ask where to find salt, what minerals can he find around here?

"Yan Mo?" Lie again urged him.

Everyone was watching him, but their eyes are not filled with trust and dependence, but suspicion and urgency. It is also the same for Cao Ting, who is usually the most friendly and trustworthy to him, though there was more worry in Cao Ting’s eyes.

Wait... look for salt? Looking for mine? Map? Thieves! What did he ignore in front of him? 

Yan Mo can't wait to give himself a slap. He just thought that The Guide would punish him, and he had to save people. He was too paralyzed, but he forgot that The Guide has several quite useful functions and they can be used by reducing the corresponding number of points. 

Once he reached the conditions of use and understood how to use the third article in The Guide, can he also use the information to find new salt fields? Still, can’t he find a suitable place to build his own home?

And once you have the exact map, you don't have to say that his survival rate in this primitive society will be raised by more than half, he at least doesn't have to worry about entering into the swamp or quicksand while walking. Also, if he can better target and avoid it, the chance of wasting energy and life will lessen

As soon as the thought changed, Yan Mo suddenly felt a sense of openness. Why didn't he pay attention to this before? Why didn't he notice that this pothole's Reformation Guide wasn't just a pothole, it can actually be useful? 

Because his eyes and his mind are completely blinded by all kinds of anger and all kinds of hatred. Anger solves nothing! 

But how can he reduce the scum value quickly and in large quantities? Yan Mo didn't have time to look at the data in detail, only able to estimate it.

If saving a person's life can reduce scum by 100 points; he saved Yang Wei twice, Bing once and Cao Ting once, shouldn't he have been able to lose four hundred points, that is to say, he only needs to save lives. The criteria for using Article 3 of The Guidelines can be reached after he saves people six times. 

Six hundred points may not be much, you can even say it is lot less, but once there is an opportunity, maybe it will be lost soon. 

For the first time, Yan Mo had a look and a sense of excitement in front of him. For the first time, he began to seriously think about how to use The Guide and his own strengths and knowledge so that he can live in the world while losing scum value at the same time.

In fact, from the moment he came here up to today, he had some point of drifting with the tide and a negative confrontation with God. Basically, he didn't want to control it and he didn't push it, or he was trying his best to study how to manipulate The Guide. Think about what to do in the future.

Although he really wants to reduce the scum value, so that his life can return to his side, but it was only on the level of thoughts with no action.

Now, he completely woke up and changed his mind.

I have to say that people's ideas are really changing, and sometimes only a touch will make people's thought change like a wild wind. However, the epiphany also depends on his relation with other people. Yan Mo is not about to fool himself. He has already realized it before but has moved to a wrong direction. This time he finally realized the idea.

Being awaken and then looking back at his original plan, Yan Mo felt good and amused Because his original thoughts were too naive and too frustrated, in terms of current reality and conditions and in such a purely primitive society with no infrastructure but has dinosaurs and people coexisting, it is such a thing to bring such a thing. He wants to cross the mainland to find the sea? Is that a joke?!

Yan Mo's thinking was getting clearer and clearer. He originally wanted to fool the indigenous people and say that they should follow the river flowing south. Although the rivers have different points on the ground and the surface, it is not always possible to find the sea by following the river. Most often, there will be many changes on the pathway because of the terrain, yet this is the best method of finding the sea he can think of..

Now thinking about it, it's not like finding it.

But what do you have to say now to make it sound reasonable and to not let them want to change their destination? Also, can you temporarily find a safe and food-rich place to stay so that he can greatly reduce the scum value?

Yan Mo's thought changes are long, but in real time it has only been less than a minute.

However, Yuan Zhan and others have been waiting impatiently. Yan Mo, who was thinking and calculating it, felt that his neck hurts, and the squeaky bastard of master pinched him.

"I, I was afraid..." Yan Mo's fearing look does not need to be pretended. The hand was raised, and the dirty long nails are about to touch the youth's arms. Everyone thought he was going to fight back, but his fingers gently touched the inner side of the young upper arm.

Yuan Zhan's expression became strange in an instant, what is his little slave doing? Is the boy asking him for mercy?

Although his heart was laughing at the "weakness" from his little slave, the young man with a fierce expression relaxed his hand slightly. Well actually, he relaxed it by a lot.

Feeling the looseness of Yuan Zhan's grip, Yan Mo became calmer and will remain so for as long as these barbarians do not really want to kill him. If his face is matched with the words, he can make a proper expression. The subsequent thoughts and expressions were formed in the brain.

"My priest did tell me some tips for finding the sea. I didn't say it because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it even I say it, maybe, you would kill me with anger." The boy's expression is like someone who wanted to cry and barely holding himself back.

"If you don't say it, we will kill you." The look on Lie face has become gentler. He also does not want to kill this child but, as the oldest leader in this team, he must consider the life of all members.

"Well, in fact... the priest of our tribe told me that the sea is far away from us. We will inevitably encounter many dangers along the way. Before we go, we must do a lot of preparations."

This is the truth. Lie and Yuan Zhan and other warriors think so collectively.

Not waiting for them to ask questions, Yan Mo immediately said: "If you still remember what I said before, I did not force you to go to the sea, you asked me where there is salt and I said that I want to find the sea because my priest told me that the sea is where most salt is. I told you the truth. The sea is at the end of the mainland. If I wanted to lie to you, why would I mention the sea?"

Seeing everyone's face was alleviated, Yan Mo knows they listened to it. It seems that his actions during this time were not in vain. Although they were not enough to confront the influence of Yuan Ji tribe’s priest, he also left them with a very useful and hearty impression.

So he quickly rushed to the railway: "If you don't want to go to the sea, then I can take you to find other salt fields. The salt may not be as much as the sea but it should be enough for Yuan Ji Tribe for a few years."

"Listening to your words, you seem to know more than a one salt field that can produce salt." Bing was doubtful.

Yan Mo calmly shouted: "Yes, I am the Salt Mountain tribe’s disciple and I can definitely find salt more than ordinary people."

Lie and the others looked at each other.

Zhan pushed Yan Mo to the side of Cao Ting and let her watch him. Others thought that the slave couldn't walk, but he knew that his little slave's legs were all right.

The warriors gathered together for a quick and brief negotiation.

"First we go look for salt, who knows where the sea is." Diao said.

"But Little Mo said that the sea has inexhaustible salt, aren't there many foods near the sea?"

"I think if the Salt Mountain people know the news of the sea, they would go to the south to find the sea."

"It is possible." Lie nodded. "If the sea is really at the end of the mainland, the child does not lie. It will definitely be dangerous along the way. We only have twelve people. The 4th rank warrior from the Gaoshan tribe came out with four companions, but, when he got here, the group remained with only one. I still don't know if he and the Sun Worshippers can find the end of the mainland. Winter is coming, the tribe is waiting for salt, and it’s best if we can find salt nearby.”

The warriors went back to the boy and everyone fell down together.

Yuan Zhan poked his little slave. "Well, where can we find salt besides the sea?"

Yan Mo refused to ask: "Where is the place with most grass eating animals? For example, cattle, sheep, etc."

Eunuch: Translating Chinese isn't easy sometimes you get into stories where character names means literally how they look.... Missing Teeth name is Qiu Ya literally means Missing Teeth

Another Example is that there is a city called Huo Cheng or literally Fire City the people in the city use the surname Huo....it gets confused as which name to use Fire City or Huo City or Huocheng

So decided to go with an integrated name Fire City...

BookAddictzii: it’s actually easier for me since Eunuch had already pave the road and I simply have to choose between gravel and cement. (Speaking metaphorically)
