In the following week, Jiang Chen was extremely busy. During the day, he would explore the grass with his face as a human-shaped deminer. At night, he would teach the kids how to speak and write, trying to help them grow up as quickly as possible.
This week, Jiang Chen, the dominator, had died in a new way and from a new angle. He had been trampled to death by a herd of deer, had his heart dug out by a tiger, had fallen off a cliff to his death, and had been bitten to death by poisonous insects…
However, even if he tried so hard, the hunting team still inevitably suffered casualties on the third day. It was a brawny man called Zhang San who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake hidden in the dead leaves.
Even though Jiang Chen had sucked out the poisonous blood on the spot, Zhang San still had a fever and vomited that night. In the latter half of the night, he was in so much pain that he rolled around and vomited blood.
In the end, Jiang Chen stood up silently, picked up the stone spear, and stabbed it through the man's chest. The man smiled and closed his eyes. Before he closed his eyes, he seemed to want to say something, but he died before he could.
So the first grave appeared. Jiang Chen had a new way of seeking death since daybreak. He started to consume all kinds of strange plants. He stuffed all the edible plants into his mouth. Then he experienced the reactions of these plants to the human body and asked Jiang Xue to record them down.
Jiang Chen didn't feel guilty or blamed himself for Zhang San's death. He wasn't cold-blooded, but he had tried his best. He really had.
However…if there was medicine that night, would the ending have changed?
A week later, Jiang Chen looked at his subjects, whose temperaments were completely different from before, and finally nodded in satisfaction. He took a deep breath and gave an order that concerned everyone's life and death," All members were migrating!
After a week's observation, Jiang Chen had discovered many differences between the real world in " Civilization " and the game. For example, these kids weren't like the tools in the game who had no sense of self, but real human beings who could think, cry, and laugh.
Since it was a real person, he had to consider many aspects that could not be reflected in the game.
Although the place they were staying at now was a very qualified camp, Jiang Chen had given up the idea of using this place as a base for development the next day. The reason was simple, because this place lacked an important element--salt!
That's right, it was salt, a white crystal that could be seen everywhere in modern times and was ignored by most people.
Salt wasn't just used to flavor food. It was also an essential microelement for the human body. If one didn't consume salt for a long time, it would cause a series of side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, cramps, weakness of the limbs, and so on.
In ancient times, salt was controlled by the state, which was enough to show its importance.
There were two ways to produce salt. One was land salt, which was also known as bittern, and the other was sea salt. These resources that were ignored in the game naturally would not be marked on the minimap.
Jiang Chen's men had explored the area for a week, but they hadn't found any salt wells around them. It was fine if they only ate meat, because meat contained a small amount of salt, which was enough for human consumption.
However, once they settled down, they would inevitably advance from a hunting civilization to an agricultural civilization. Their main food would gradually change from meat to grains, which didn't contain salt. By then, Jiang Chen and the others would only be met with the decline of their civilization or the destruction of their entire group.
It wasn't that Jiang Chen hadn't thought about the possibility of finding a salt well in the middle of the journey, but it wasn't the way of thinking for a lord to entrust the future of his tribe to luck.
Moreover, with a fixed base, these devilish children would definitely give birth to children. At that time, it would be even more difficult to bring a group of children with them.
If we don't make a decision, we will suffer from chaos. The sooner we migrate, the better.
It took millions of years for ancient humans to transform from a hunting civilization to an agricultural civilization. This was not only because of the imprisonment of wisdom, but also because of the existence of salt.
Jiang Chen couldn't believe it. At that time, there were only a few smart people among the group of Homo Evolutis that had gradually spread from the African continent to the whole world. There had definitely been a vague farming civilization in the development of the hunting civilization. However, those budding farming civilizations had either been destroyed or couldn't hold on and returned to the hunting era, until they learned how to extract salty crystal particles from mineral seawater.
In summary, it was not difficult to speculate that what really restricted the development of early human civilization was not knowledge or the so-called beasts, but something like salt, which seemed small but necessary for human beings.
As for where they would migrate to, Jiang Chen had already made plans.
East! It was the direction where the sun rose, and it was also the location of the ocean of the infinite continent. Although Jiang Chen didn't know every inch of the map in detail, he had a vague idea of where the ocean was.
He didn't know how long he would have to walk. It could be months, years, or even generations.
He didn't know how many of these brats would die along the way, but he had to do this. Compared to aimlessly searching for salt wells that didn't even exist, moving with a goal was the wisest choice.
Perhaps even Jiang Chen himself didn't realize that he had changed from a taker to a giver in just one week. He even regarded these brats as part of himself.
It couldn't be helped. The human heart was made of flesh.
The group of devilish children treated him as the only one. They gave him the sweet water first, and the most tender part of the roasted meat was also given to him. They ate the half-burnt part happily. It was impossible to treat them as tools anymore.
Before he left, Jiang Chen had asked everyone to collect dried twigs and put them in every corner of the forest. Then he started the first fire himself.
They needed a stock of food to travel.
As a matter of fact, the earliest human beings on Earth, namely the Homo Evolutis, had done the same thing. Jiang Chen didn't believe that the Homo Evolutis, who had just gained enlightenment, could wipe out more than 70% of the species on Earth in just a few hundred years.
He could harvest a large amount of food by setting a fire. There was no risk and high returns. Only a fool would not choose this option.
He had been courting death in the forest every day just to train these brats. Now that the training had achieved its effect, there was no need for this forest that was filled with his blood in every corner.
As for the protection of the environment, that was a matter for the future. If he did not plunder, how could he give back?
This was the most primitive and sincere…malice that humans had towards nature.
