Chapter 94

==================

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Lina skipped to find Lian Yun. They changed into pajamas and sat on the edge of the bed, talking about what they had seen and heard that day.

"Today, Aunt Xiaoqi took me to the foot of the mountain to see the snow-capped mountains. She said that it was a little dangerous on the mountain and we couldn't go up. It was a little cold at the foot of the mountain, but it was so beautiful!" Lina lay on the bed with her face in her hands, and there was a little heart around her.

"Auntie Xiaoqi is really gentle. A monster rushed towards us on the road, and she knocked it away with one punch."

Lian Yun:?

"Auntie said the meat tasted terrible, otherwise she would have brought it back for us to try."

Lian Yun couldn't help laughing.

They stayed in the tribe for a few days, tasted a lot of monster meat, and found one or two monster species that tasted good, but they were not easy to catch.

In general, the orcs were much more curious about the frog meat that Lian Yun brought out than they were about the new monster meat.

When Lian Yun gave them frog meat, he also gave them a handwritten recipe book by Aibei. During the dinner, the stranger instantly conquered the taste buds of the orcs who were still on the sidelines.

When the returning orcs told them that the town had many cookbooks that contained all kinds of dishes such as Sichuan, Shandong, and Guangdong, they looked forward to the cooperation between the orc tribe and the town even more.

The outline of the ship that Luo drew by feeling these days was put into practice today.

Although the orcs' design wasn't great, their execution was undoubtedly the most efficient on this continent. After testing the design and finding it feasible, they quickly built the first boat capable of accommodating two people abreast. Early this morning, Lina and Xiaoqi boarded the boat and headed for the snowy mountains.

After the tour, we took a boat back.

The round trip time is shortened by more than half compared to normal walking, saving a lot of effort.

Luo also explained to Ford and others the role of flying stones. They said that they could design fixed positions on the bottom of the ship and regularly fix the flying stones on the bottom of the ship so that it could carry a greater weight.

Once Bubu Town maintains a stable output, the shipbuilding process here will be able to get back on track.

As for the collected medicinal herbs, after they are sent back to Bubu Town for Louis to test, if possible, we can have long-term cooperation with the orcs who collected the herbs.

As for the tribe’s fire prevention problem, stone is much more fire-resistant than wooden houses. We can send more orcs to the mines and use the mined stones to rebuild houses for the tribe.

The general plan is to arrange the houses in the town, spreading out from the center to the surrounding areas.

Water channels are then interspersed throughout the area, making it easy to access and able to put out fires at any time.

"By the way, sister, look at this sand." Lina said as she took out a handful of small stones from her pocket. They were very broken and a little white.

"The sand under the snow-capped mountains is white, different from the sand in our desert. Have you seen it, sister?" Lina's eyes were shining. She brought it to her sister to see specially.

"It's river sand." Lian Yun said with a smile, picking up a few grains.

River sand doesn't feel as fine as sand, and the particles are larger. As for its composition...

Lian Yun suddenly stopped.

Element.

There is a glass factory near her village, which uses sand from the nearby river as raw material.

Desert sand cannot be used to make glass because it is not pure enough, and it cannot be used for construction because it is too fine and has poor plasticity.

But with river sand, everything has a new direction.

Lian Yun couldn't help but clench the few grains of sand in his hand, his thoughts racing.

There is no glass in this world, but there is pottery. In a simple sense, there is no big difference between the production methods of glass and pottery. It’s just that glass may require higher conditions, but this is not a problem.

There are kilns and furnaces here, as well as the technology and means to smelt and manufacture metals and pottery. Lian Yun doesn't have to worry about these. Now that he has river sand, how far is glass from being made?

Lian Yun immediately became interested. He sat up excitedly, put on a white cloak, and pushed the door open and walked out.

Lian Yun had just taken a step when suddenly, a white shadow pounced towards her from above.

The sense of crisis coming down on her head made her squat down suddenly. The white shadow missed her, jumped to the side, and rushed towards the beam again.

Lian Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his head nervously and looked at the beam in front of the door.

It was a creature with a monkey's tail and covered with a layer of short white fur, with its back facing Lian Yun.

Just when Lina heard the sound outside the house and ran over, the thing suddenly turned its head, revealing a white skull face. The face was covered by a layer of skin that was as thin as possible, outlining the outline of the bones. The two black eyes seemed to be burning with black flames. There was no light, but Lian Yun felt that he was being stared at.

"elder sister!"

Everything happened in a flash. When Lian Yun responded and glanced at Lina, and then turned around, the monster had disappeared.

Lina was afraid that Lian Yun would get hurt, so she rushed over and hugged Lian Yun's waist, breathing rapidly and looking around vigilantly until she didn't notice any movement.

"What was that just now?"

She raised her head, frowned, and her eyes were full of worry.

At this time, the orcs were no longer outside. When they heard Lina's shout, they all ran over.

Lian Yun touched Lina's hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid."

"Sister isn't afraid, and I'm not afraid either."

Ford also rushed over after hearing the sound.

Lian Yun briefly explained what had just happened. Fude frowned, obviously not surprised.

"This creature has lived with us for a long time. It usually only hunts low-level monsters nearby and eats them, leaving us alone. As for its origins...it's said that it was forced to flee the forest after the elves released the poisonous fog during the war."

"They have high intelligence, but strange and unpredictable habits. They hold grudges and have long lifespans. Therefore, I don't recommend that our tribesmen get into conflict with them, as they might hold a grudge against them to death. However, they have never actively attacked us."

Lina raised her voice anxiously: "But sister didn't do anything! As soon as I went out, it rushed over!"

Ford quickly comforted him: "I'm not saying what you did, I'm just worried about whether they have changed."

After all, Lian Yun had told them about the new monsters that appeared in the desert and the low-level monsters that had developed intelligence.

If low-level monsters are born with intelligence, there is no guarantee that high-level monsters that already have intelligence will not undergo any further changes.

At this time, Lana quickly walked to Lian Yun.

He reacted immediately just now, saw the monster when he went out, and followed it.

But the other party moved too quickly and seemed to be very familiar with this place.

Fortunately, Xiaobai was with him. As a flying gerbil, Xiaobai's speed was not restricted even on the grassland, and he quickly took over from Lanner and caught up.

"It's a bit like a bone gorilla, but it doesn't have fur, and it doesn't have those strong...emotions."

Lanna frowned slightly and murmured softly.

He caught a glimpse of the creature's eyes, and the emotion it showed was not something an ordinary monster could produce.

Ford shook his head: "It's not a bone ape. This kind of monster is much more flexible than a bone ape and has a much higher IQ."

He didn't know the name of these things, and in fact they rarely appeared.

"Xiaobai is back!"

Lina suddenly pointed at the roof opposite and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiaobai jumping down. He jumped in front of several people, then jumped in front of Lian Yun, squeaking a few times.

It chased the monster all the way, and when it was about to catch up, the thing suddenly turned and jumped into the river.

In an instant, there was no trace of him.

Xiaobai nudged Lianyun's calf pitifully.

"That stuff is really good in water."

Lian Yun: ...Water monkey?

Since she wasn't hurt, Lian Yun didn't care much, but she was always uneasy and couldn't calm down.

She faced the crowd and counted their number.

"Luo?"

She looked at Yi Ke, who lived next door to Luo. Yi Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "He didn't come out."

As if realizing everyone's serious expressions, Yi Ke said awkwardly, "Really? He can't see, so wouldn't coming out just cause trouble?"

These people won’t blame Luo, right?

"What do you know!"

Lina hurriedly avoided him and watched Lian Yun and his men rush towards Luo Dai's house. She tugged at Yi Ke's clothes and said, "You don't know how much Luo cares about me. He knows that I'm with you. He's as anxious as Brother Lana if there's any disturbance. He hasn't come out yet. Something must have happened."

Iko was stunned.

"Lo! Are you there?"

Lian Yun came to Luo's door and called a few times, but got no response.

The door was ajar. Lian Yun pushed it open and found Luo lying on the edge of the bed, half of his body leaning on the bed. He was holding on to the bed to prevent himself from falling down and breathing hard.

He heard Lian Yun's voice, turned his head, and said in a difficult voice: "Sir..."

Lian Yun's face darkened slightly, and he and several others helped Luo to the bed. Fude called the doctor from the tribe to check the situation, but the situation was not optimistic.

"Has it gotten worse?"

In order to better judge the condition, Lian Yun explained the previous situation of Luo and Lana. If Luo's condition suddenly worsened, then...

Lian Yun and Lan Na exchanged a glance, and the latter shook his head slightly: "I don't feel anything."

The orc doctor frowned and shook his head: "No, this is a new injury."

Water Monkey Warning (?)

I have been really tired and busy these past few days, but that period has passed and I can update steadily starting today.
