Shouldn’t Long Mo be in the tribe
Baofeng rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
He rubbed his eyes until they turned red, but Long Mo in front of him still did not disappear.
When he saw Bao Feng, Long Mo was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had overlooked Bao Feng when he discussed the plan with Hu Jiaojiao.
The insight that Hu Jiaojiao has left may have come from Bao Feng.
"What are you doing, Leopard Wind?"
Hu Qingshan stepped forward and slapped Bao Feng on the shoulder. He thought Bao Feng came with Long Mo.
Hu Qingshan's strength in the tribe was second only to Ying Yuan. With one slap, Bao Feng's shoulder was about to crack. There were two "crackling" sounds and his face changed drastically.
"Nothing, nothing." Bao Feng's face turned pale. He thought of the important task the tribe leader had given him, gritted his teeth and straightened his chest.
He spoke anxiously, "The chief said that on this road..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hu Qingshan.
"Are you saying that there will be orcs ambushing us on the road?"
Leopard Wind: “???”
He hasn't even said anything yet, how do they know
Hu Qingshan laughed, "Long Mo has already said it, we all know it."
Hu Qiang also stepped forward and called a few orcs who were resting, "Let's go, let's take Yanhua to another road."
He was the oldest among these orcs, so naturally he took on the role of leader.
Several orcs immediately perked up, picked up a large bag of salt flakes weighing one or two hundred kilograms in each hand, and carried it on their shoulders.
They brought back more than 3,000 kilograms of salt flowers, which was more than what they had exchanged for supplies at the beach. Everyone was very excited and didn't want so much salt flowers to go to the orcs in vain.
After a while, the orcs packed up and prepared to set off.
Leopard Feng, who was completely ignored, said: “…”
Why does it feel like he is not needed here at all
So why did he run all the way here, exhausted like a dog
The group of orcs quickly changed their route, bypassed a mountain, and returned to the tribe from the other side of the mountain.
The original route included a river that was more than ten meters wide and the water was very deep. They had planned to carry the orcs and protect the salt flowers and transport them back and forth twice, thus saving a day to return to the tribe.
But who knew that Long Mo said that there were orcs lying in ambush on the other side of the river.
They were short of manpower and had to protect Yanhua, so Hu Qiang decisively chose to follow Long Mo's advice.
Take the long way around.
It's better to go back slowly than to lose your life.
A group of orcs bypassed the mountain and were about to continue moving towards the tribe.
Suddenly, the howling of wolves came from the forest behind us.
“Ouch!”
Because of the previous mutated wolf beast, everyone has a traumatic experience with the sound of wolf howls.
One of the orcs' face changed and he said nervously, "There are wolves behind us."
"It's not a pack of wolves." Long Mo frowned and looked back at the dense forest. The howling of wolves was getting closer and closer, and the speed was simply beyond the reach of ordinary wild beasts.
"It's the group of orcs chasing us."
Hu Jiaojiao's cautious precautions were indeed correct!
…
In the tribe.
Under the command of Hu Jiaojiao, four orcs built an earthen kiln.
The earthen kiln only had a small door that allowed the orcs to bend over and enter and exit. From above, it looked like a huge turtle shell.
A small vent is left on the other side to ensure a certain amount of air flow, but not to completely burn the charcoal.
After the earthen kiln was filled with wood, it was ignited from the kiln door, and the flames soon spread to every corner of the cave.
Hu Jiaojiao had been guarding the cave entrance. When she saw the wood inside burning red, her face lit up with joy and she quickly shouted:
"Quickly seal the kiln door."
Hu Qinggao and the three orcs immediately blocked the kiln door with stones and half-dried mud.
Tightly fastened without leaving any gaps.
"Little sister, what are you going to do next?"
"wait."
After sealing for half a day, the charcoal inside is basically carbonized.
The orcs had never done such an easy job before.
They really couldn't sit still, so while they were waiting, they went outside the tribe and brought back enough wood to fill a cave.
This operation made Hu Jiaojiao amazed.
It turns out that I gave their clan leader a few days more time to prepare.
No wonder the patriarch was so happy when he heard about making charcoal today. It turned out that he had been waiting too long.
In the afternoon, Hu Jiaojiao estimated that the time was about right and asked them to open the kiln door.
As soon as it was opened, a choking cloud of gray smoke flew out.
"Ahem..."
Several males coughed and fanned themselves with their hands.
Hu Jiaojiao was about to go in and take a look with anticipation in her eyes.
"Little sister, wait a moment." Hu Qinggao grabbed her.
Under Hu Jiaojiao's puzzled gaze, Hu Qinggao carefully cleaned the kiln door that had just been soiled with mud, and then said to Hu Jiaojiao:
"Okay, little sister, come and have a look. Is the charcoal you mentioned successfully made?"
His little sister loves cleanliness, and he can't let her get dirty in this dark place.
Seeing Hu Qinggao's actions, Hu Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart.
Her brothers really pampered her and treated her like the apple of their eyes.
Hu Jiaojiao walked over. The temperature inside the cave was still very high. She used a branch to pull out a piece of black charcoal that had been burned and knocked on it gently.
It has not dispersed, it has been completely carbonized.
This is a successful firing!
"Second brother, we succeeded. This is the charcoal that the Beast God showed me in my dream." Hu Jiaojiao's face was full of joy.
I didn’t expect it to be successful on the first try.
"Really?"
"Very good!"
Several orcs cheered immediately, and one of them hurried to tell the chief the good news.
"Fox Jiaojiao, you are so awesome! Now that the stone houses are built, the females in the tribe won't suffer from the cold in winter." The orc couldn't help but look at Fox Jiaojiao twice more.
Why didn’t they realize that Hu Jiaojiao was so smart before
If only I could be her partner...
"That's right. Our Jiaojiao is an orc favored by the Beast God." Hu Qinggao snorted lightly, looking proud.
The two orcs had a good relationship with Hu Qinggao, and they secretly came to his side, intending to take advantage of their proximity.
"Hu Qinggao, your Jiaojiao only has Long Mo as her partner, should you consider finding a few more partners..."
"What do you think of me?"
Hu Qinggao glanced at them and pushed them away with disgust.
"Go! Go! Go!"
It’s enough to have one Long Mo competing with them for my little sister, do you want a few more
No way.
If you want to covet his little sister, you have to get past him first.
After a while, the patriarch came over with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Under the witness of the patriarch, several orcs began to move the charcoal out, and soon a pile of charcoal as high as a small hill was formed.
Hu Jiaojiao had read what was written on the parchment scroll. An average earthen kiln could produce two hundred kilograms of charcoal at a time.
The earthen kiln built by the orcs was two or three times larger than an ordinary earthen kiln. She roughly estimated that this earthen kiln could produce about 500 kilograms of charcoal.
Although the quality is not as good as industrially produced refined charcoal, it can be used for burning and heating in the animal world without any problems.
I have to say, the orcs are indeed strong.
Only orcs can complete an earthen kiln that requires two or three times the workload so quickly.
"Jiaojiao, you've worked so hard. Take the first batch of charcoal back!"
The clan leader was not stingy and generously gave all the charcoal to Hu Jiaojiao.
