Hearing Hu Ming's words, Hu Shen nodded in satisfaction.

"well done."

He waved and led the five cubs toward the forest.

On the other side.

Su Tang looked at the five plump, strong, and oddly-looking males in front of her and fell silent for a moment.

Hu Shen said he would find some skilled workers for her.

Is this what they mean by "you can't judge a book by its cover"?

The five males also looked uneasy. Helping the king's mate with chores was a big deal, so they had to be extra careful.

What are your orders?

Finally, a male spoke hesitantly, breaking the silence.

Su Tang was pulled back to her senses by the voice, and smiled at the group, "Come with me."

After saying that, he led the orcs to Su Shiwei and asked about the tree that could be used to make paper.

"You want to make paper?" Su Shiwei was somewhat surprised when she heard the news.

Yesterday he wanted to build a railway, and today he wants to make paper. It seems that since leaving his parents' wings, Tangtang has started to let herself go.

However, paper is indeed very useful. After a moment's thought, Su Shiwei said:

"Paper mulberry, mulberry, Chinese privet, and ramie are all good materials for papermaking, as are Chinese pine and eucalyptus. There are many tree species that can be used for papermaking, and these are all relatively common."

He glanced at the several males behind Su Tang.

"It just so happens that I also need to go out to find wood for making railway sleepers. I'll go with you. Once we find some samples, you can just use them as a reference."

There are many materials needed to build the railway, and he plans to start by finding the simplest ones.

Starting with the easy parts and gradually moving to the difficult ones is always better than being at a loss.

"Then I'll leave it to you, brother."

Su Tang had the five males follow Su Shiwei out.

The forest is full of various tree species, and the beastmen can run fast in the forest. Su Shiwei and the five males found a large area of ​​paper mulberry trees in no time.

Apart from fruit trees, the trees in the forest were useless to the orcs, so no one ever paid attention to what kind of trees were around Mount Ten Thousand Beasts.

Seeing that there were so many trees available, the five males quickly wrote them down.

Two males were left to collect timber in the mulberry grove, while Su Shiwei led the remaining three males to continue their search.

His purpose today is to introduce them to different tree species.

After most of the day's effort, Su Shiwei found the mulberry tree and the Simao pine.

Several males were instructed to memorize the appearance of the three types of trees, and Su Shiwei also began making marks in the vicinity.

While searching for timber for papermaking, he had already discovered several types of trees suitable for making railway sleepers.

Commonly used woods for railway sleepers include red pine, Masson pine, spruce, fir, hemlock, and various types of oak.

The most numerous and best-growing trees near Wanshou Mountain are various cedar trees.

The towering fir tree at the foot of Mount Wanshou is the best proof of this.

But you can't just fleece one sheep; building a railway requires a lot of sleepers, so he plans to find more.

For the next ten days or so, Su Shiwei would come to the forest every day to look for timber and make marks.

He had almost found enough wood to make railway sleepers, but there was still one important type of wood he hadn't been able to find a suitable one for.

Heading in the opposite direction from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Su Shiwei unknowingly arrived at the mountain stream.

Having just marked a tree, Su Shiwei glanced at the setting sun on the horizon, and, thinking about how unsatisfactory the timber she had found that day, shook her head and prepared to go back.

But before he could return, his gaze suddenly fixed on the bottom of the ravine.

A tall tree branch emerged from the bottom of the ravine; it was a sandalwood tree that was over twenty meters tall.

A hint of joy appeared in Su Shiwei's eyes!

These days he has searched for many kinds of peach wood, boxwood and redwood, but he always feels that something is missing.

An inch of sandalwood is worth an inch of gold; sandalwood is considered the finest of woods, making it the most suitable material for such a thing.

Su Shiwei rushed over, taking three steps at a time, and eagerly climbed down the cliff. Using a protruding rock as a support, he reached out to touch the sandalwood tree.

The orc's strong physique allowed Su Shiwei to maintain a steady stance on the cliff face.

However, the gap between the cliff and the rosewood was nearly two meters, and Su Shiwei found that she couldn't reach it, so she planned to go down to the bottom of the ravine to think of a way.

Continuing downwards, just as they were about to reach the bottom, a rock they were climbing on suddenly came loose.

The once solid cliff face collapsed and disintegrated instantly, like a set of overturned building blocks.

Su Shiwei lost her balance and plummeted.

He reached out to grab something for leverage, but only managed to grab a tree branch.

"Crack..."

The branch in Su Shiwei's hand snapped as it was struck by the falling rocks.

After an unknown period of time, stones and withered leaves covered the mountain stream again.

The tall and flourishing rosewood still stands in the mountain stream, and the dust slowly settles under the setting sun, as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Having found the materials for papermaking, Sutang also began to try making paper.

The traditional papermaking process involves many steps, from softening, repeated steaming and pounding to finally producing paper, which can take one to two months.

Each process was physically demanding. After explaining the methods to the orcs, Su Tang experimented repeatedly and gradually figured it out.

Busy until evening, when Su Tang returned home, Hu Shen had already brought back five children.

After more than half a month of training, the five cubs have become much stronger. Their originally innocent and clear beast eyes now seem to exude a chilling and murderous aura.

The beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain felt as if they had seen the old Beast King in his youth. The only difference was that the old Beast King was gentle by nature, while the five cubs, under Hu Shen's tutelage, were all ruthless and merciless.
