Fortunately, tree beastmen also have a fatal flaw, which is that if they leave the soil for a long time, they must transform into human form.
In the tree-like state, they can only stay away from the soil for one day at most. That is to say, if they pull out their roots and use the roots to travel in the tree-like form, they can only walk for one day at most, and they must take root and rest for one day.
And the movement speed is also very slow.
After seeing that the people of the Black Tree Tribe had taken root, Xuan asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
The tree that Zhuo turned into moved its crown as if shaking its head, and then his voice came out, as if it was muffled inside something.
"No need, it's fine here." Zhuo replied.
"Where is the food? Meat?" Xuan continued to ask.
"Let it take a day to take root today, and then eat it when it turns into a human form tomorrow. It's not convenient to eat it in the beast form." Zhuo thought for a while before saying.
"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Xuan pulled Meng Yuqing away from the place where the Black Tree Tribe was rooted.
To be honest, Lian Xuan felt tremendous pressure staying here. He could vaguely sense that many people were looking at him, but when he looked around, apart from Meng Yuqing, there were only trees.
This made him feel like all the hair on his body was standing up.
"Their tree shapes are amazing." Meng Yuqing said after the two walked away.
"Tree-shaped? Do you mean their animal-shaped form?" Xuan asked.
"Yeah." Meng Yuqing scratched his head and continued, "I just yelled it randomly. You guys are all calling it beast form anyway."
Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, they are really special."
Receiving the Yellowstone Tribe and the Black Tree Tribe was like giving the three of them a short day off.
Those who went out to borrow someone's help were mercilessly forced to work as soon as they came back.
In the past, I could get a few days of rest after a business trip, but now?
You're on a business trip, so that's like a secret vacation.
The next day, Xia brought the people of the Yellowstone tribe out, and the people of the Black Tree tribe also transformed into human form early and came to the gate of Qingshan City to wait.
After Xia Hexuan led them to have a working breakfast, he took them to where they were assigned.
As soon as the three hundred strong orcs appeared, the heads of various tasks immediately lit up their eyes.
In order to have one more person to work on the work they were responsible for, the project leaders almost got into a fight on the spot.
Especially the one who was responsible for planting the banyan forest in this area. He was the only sub-beast here. In order to snatch people, he brought all the weapons equipped for sub-beasts, and was accompanied by a close-fitting fighter, his partner Luo.
The other one was Roy, who was in charge of the cafeteria. He came over with two kitchen knives in his pocket.
This scene scared the people of the Black Tree Tribe and the Yellow Stone Tribe.
They remembered that Qingshan City was now almost the largest tribe in the south, so why did it seem to be so short of workers?
Jie and Zhuo's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in Qingshan City, and they were shocked to find that each of these people had heavy dark circles under their eyes.
Not only do sub-beasts have dark circles under their eyes, but their physique and energy levels cannot be compared to those of orcs. Sometimes they will get dark circles if they don't get enough sleep.
But what on earth is Qingshan City doing that has made the orcs so tired?
Zhuo and Jie watched as the people in Qingshan City showed off their skills in the fight for manpower, while wondering if it was still too late for them to escape.
Meng Yuqing also pulled Xuan over. He would stay here today. After they divided the people from the Black Tree Tribe and the Yellow Stone Tribe, each project team would have to hand over four people from Qingshan City to him.
The water mill really can't be delayed any longer. If it is delayed any further, the first batch of rice will be harvested, last year's winter wheat will be almost ready, and the market will be approaching.
All these things piled up together, if it was the planting area before the expansion, Qingshan City could handle it by itself, but now the planting area has expanded so much, the amount of things has increased several times, it is really too much for people to do it manually, so let's all do it together.
A lot of manpower has also been added to the breeding area. The wild beast group must be watched over by adult orcs or nearly adult orcs, who cannot be replaced by sub-beasts.
…
An hour later, all the manpower was divided up, and when the project leaders were about to take their people away, they were stopped by Meng Yuqing.
"Your people took care of it. I still need more people on my side."
All those who were stopped froze, looking up at the sky and down at the earth, but not at Meng Yuqing.
Meng Yuqing wouldn't let them go like that. He said directly, "Each project team must send five people, and they must be in place by tomorrow."
After a pause, he looked at the people in front of him, smiled with his big white teeth and said, "Otherwise, when the rice and wheat are harvested, everyone will work the night shift."
"Five people...that's too many. We can't spare that much." someone said.
Others immediately agreed, saying that it was impossible to spare five people.
Meng Yuqing asked, "Then how many people can you give it to?"
"Three, no more." someone answered.
"No, that's too few. I want five more." Meng Yuqing refused directly.
The heads of each project team took turns to persuade him, but Meng Yuqing remained unmoved.
After some wrangling, Xuan finally stepped forward and said, "Let's compromise. Four people, it's settled."
The matter was settled, and the project leaders took their newly assigned personnel and started working directly.
After they walked away, Meng Yuqing no longer had that expressionless look. He patted Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Good job."
Xuan made an "OK" gesture to him.
The leaders of each project team were quite true to their promises, and all the staff were in place the next day.
Meng Yuqing led his men to the stream in front of his house and said, "I've recently looked at all the water sources in Qingshan City and have already decided on the location for the waterwheel. Now I want you to see what we're going to do in the coming period."
