Corbin Crowley looked at her greedy expression and found it amusing, though he kept a straight face. He said lightly, "You weave more vine baskets and backpacks. We'll pack up the salt stones first, and once we find a way out and rejoin the tribe's beastmen, we'll figure out how to bring everything back."
Luna Sutton nodded slightly, her gaze shifting to the Salt Lake before her. "Of course we'll take the salt stone back, but the Salt Lake itself contains a huge amount of salt. Getting that out is a problem."
Hauling water back directly is definitely not an option—the distance is just too great and the effort enormous. Clearly not realistic.
Besides, the Salt Lake is pretty big. If we want enough salt, we can't just scoop it out little by little.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly a lightbulb went off in her mind. She looked at Corbin, excitement in her eyes: "We can try drying out the lake water. Once the water evaporates, we should get the salt left behind."
