Several people from the former Sharp Tooth tribe were amazed.

No matter what, they could not have imagined that the person they surrendered to actually knew how to get to Youchao tribe!

And it looks very familiar.

Like the vast majority of people of this era, when they encounter bizarre things that they cannot understand, they will actively think about and attribute them to mysterious things.

It was also because of this that the eyes of these people from the Sharp Tooth Tribe gradually changed when they looked at Han Cheng who was walking with his men.

Full of admiration and respect.

At the same time, his face gradually became radiant.

The person that we have chosen to surrender to possesses such great power. If we think about it carefully, we will also feel proud!

In this way, without anyone noticing, Han Cheng gained a lot of favor in these people's hearts.

His already tall and mighty image became even taller and more mighty!

This person is too good, it's really bad, he always does admirable things without knowing it.

Han Cheng noticed that the way these people looked at him was different, and he once again turned on his shameless mode...

The team continued to move forward, and the scenery on both sides of the road was receding as people walked.

As they retreated, Han Cheng and the others gradually moved further and further away from Jinguan City and closer and closer to Youchao Tribe...

"#@DEE this..."

As they walked, time passed quietly, and Han Cheng and his group had arrived at Youchao tribe.

Instead of going directly to Youchao tribe, he stopped when he was still a certain distance away from Youchao tribe, and then asked several people from the former Liya tribe who were following him to start looking for the place where they had picked up iron ore last time.

The reason why they stopped at a certain distance from where the Youchao tribe lived was to let people start searching.

On the one hand, Han Cheng already knew from the stories told by the people of the Liya tribe that the place where they obtained the iron ore was some distance away from where the Youchao tribe lived.

On the other hand, Han Cheng didn’t want to alarm the people of Youchao tribe for the time being.

Along the way, the admiration for Han Cheng was like the rolling river. After learning the meaning of the person they were loyal to through trade, the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe immediately began to think hard about their previous memories and began to search here...

The people from the former Liya tribe still remember the Youchao tribe very clearly.

After all, this was the beginning of their tribe's extremely dark period of exile.

They also suffered a crushing defeat here. In order to defeat the people of Youchao tribe and obtain some food from them, the people of their tribe, led by their leader, stayed here for three days!

For this reason, it didn't take too long for Han Cheng and others, under the guidance of these people, to arrive at the place where they discovered the iron ore.

A man who walked with a slight limp pointed to a place not far away and spoke to Han Cheng with great excitement.

The other few people also felt happy and relaxed.

Because they successfully completed the tasks assigned by the people they were loyal to!

He did not live up to his instructions.

Han Cheng walked quickly in the direction they pointed and came to the place where the pile of rocks was.

For some unknown reason, there are a lot of iron ore stones piled up here.

Most of these iron ores are large pieces, with few small pieces.

This may be because many small pieces of iron ore were picked up by the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe and used as weapons to attack the Youchao Tribe.

Many of these iron ores are covered with rust, while the areas without rust look similar in color to pig iron freshly produced from the furnace.

Under the sunlight, it seems to be flashing with some metallic color.

Looking at these iron ores, Han Cheng's face was instantly filled with smiles.

These are all good things!

Good things that can make the tribe rich and strong!

After carefully observing for a while and confirming that the stones in front of him were almost all iron ore, Han Cheng's mood became better.

"Good! Good! You did a great job!"

Han Cheng, feeling extremely happy, once again used the old routine to express his feelings.

As he said this, he reached out and patted the shoulders of these people one by one to express his feelings and praise them at the same time, so that they could truly experience his feelings and thus gain more sense of accomplishment and a better experience of making contributions.

As expected, these people who were already very happy became even happier after being treated like this by Han Cheng, and their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.

"Mao, spread out around and use shovels and pickaxes to dig up some soil. Dig a little deeper to see if there are any stones underneath. Is it iron ore?"

After patting these people on the shoulders and praising them for a while, Han Cheng smiled and gave instructions to Mao, Xiong You'er and others who followed him.

Mao and others were also very happy. After all, there were really a lot of iron ore here.

As they recalled how useful iron tools were, the smiles on their faces grew wider.

I feel so happy.

Hearing Han Cheng's instructions, everyone responded, took out the tools they carried, and spread out around the pile of iron ore, and then began to dig the ground with shovels and other tools.

Using this simple method, we can make a rough estimate of the iron ore reserves here.

The iron ore reserves estimated using this method will certainly not be very accurate.

However, after going through such an operation, people can still feel more at ease.

“Here it is!”

“Here it is!”

Here too! "

As time went by, the people of the Qingque tribe, who were carrying out Han Cheng's instructions, would report the results of their excavation and survey from time to time.

After confirming that there was indeed iron ore in the excavated area, they would not only report it to Han Cheng, but also insert something like a branch near the excavated pit to mark it.

After completing these tasks, a group of people would walk a distance forward, choose a new location, and continue digging and surveying...

As everyone continued to move, potholes appeared here one after another.

More than half of the potholes were filled with tree branches.

At first glance, it looked like someone had set up some kind of formation here, and it was quite intimidating.

After more than half a day, some directions stopped.

Only about less than half of the direction continues to extend outward.

The reason why people stopped was that they could no longer dig up iron ore.

One possibility is that there is no iron ore underneath. Another possibility is that the soil here is too thick and the excavation is too shallow to be detected.

"Okay, stop, no need to dig any further!"

After standing here and watching for a while, Han Cheng raised his voice and spoke loudly to the people in the tribe.

Hearing Han Cheng's call, those in the tribe who were still digging stopped what they were doing.

"Son of God, there is more ahead."

He was sweating profusely while digging, with white steam rising above his head, as if Xiong You'er had reached the super powerful state of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, and he pointed to the front and said.

Although he was tired, Xiong You'er still looked full of energy.

I was very unwilling to not be able to find the entire range of iron ore.

"It's alright. There's no need to dig any further. What we have found so far is enough for our tribe to use!"

Han Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing what Han Cheng said, everyone stopped with smiles on their faces.

Holding tools covered in mud in their hands, the people of the Qingque tribe stood here and looked at the large area where branches were inserted, with smiles of joy and satisfaction on their faces.

With this large amount of iron ore, our tribe will definitely be able to cast a lot of useful iron tools.

With these iron tools, I can do more work, make the tribe better, and have more things.

Life in the tribe is comfortable for us.

Of course, more importantly, when facing the other tribes, an extremely comfortable feeling will arise in your heart.

The feeling of making one's own tribe live better than other tribes through the efforts of one's own tribe is really good and makes people feel particularly intoxicated.

This sense of accomplishment gained through hard work and comparison will motivate people to continue working hard for such things.

From many people in the Qingque tribe, we can clearly see...

Han Cheng looked at the large piece of land covered with branches, and a thoughtful look appeared on his smiling face.

A large amount of iron ore has appeared, and we now have the technology to turn it into iron and iron tools, so the next natural step is to develop and utilize this iron ore.

Otherwise, these iron ores would just be stones.

If you want to develop and utilize it, you can choose from two major directions.

One is to have people mine the iron ore here, and then transport it to Jinguan City for smelting and subsequent casting and forging of ironware.

This idea only appeared in Han Cheng's mind for a short time before it was rejected.

This method is really too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The distance from here to Jinguan City is much farther than the distance from the Qingque main tribe to the Tongshan residential area, probably twice as far.

And the transportation is not convenient.

Cars cannot pass through, so the only way to transport iron ore is to carry it on shoulders or on donkeys and oxen. You can imagine how difficult and inefficient it is...

Han Cheng would never do such a thing.

After ruling out this major direction, there is only one option left.

This option is to build a furnace directly here, cut wood nearby to make charcoal, mine iron ore, smelt the iron ore, and obtain iron blocks.

Just like the Tongshan residential area.

After all, compared to transporting iron ore, transporting just iron blocks is really much easier.

But when he thought of this, Han Cheng hesitated.

Because the situation here is somewhat different from that in the Tongshan residential area.

Among them, the most important point is that when the Tongshan residential area was built, the largest tribe living in the Tongshan residential area, the Tengshe tribe, had been destroyed by them.

When producing, living and carrying out construction there, there is basically no need to worry about external threats.

As long as the wall is built, it doesn't matter if there are fewer people left there.

But the same thing is different here.

The overlord here, the Red Tiger Tribe, is still alive and well, and still very powerful.

Although they were severely blackmailed twice by him using porcelain bowls and porcelain tigers, the vitality of their tribe has not been damaged and the foundation of the tribe is still there.

Moreover, the Red Tiger Tribe is a much more powerful tribe than the Teng Snake Tribe.

Based on what he knew now, in terms of numbers alone, the number of people from his tribe in Jinguan City was not as large as that of the Red Tiger Tribe.

It would be impossible to build a new settlement next to such a tribe without some degree of concern.

How big of a heart and how irresponsible a person must be to not have any worries in such a situation!

After all, this matter is not like any other matter, but a matter concerning the life and death of many people in his tribe.

Because once a new tribe is built here, there must be someone to build, produce and guard it.

It is not possible not to consider their safety.

Although iron is important, the lives of one's own tribesmen are equally important.

Han Cheng didn't want the iron owned by his tribe to have a strong smell of blood.

At least it can't be stained with the strong smell of blood of his own tribe.

So when you think about it this way, things become a bit difficult.

There are too few people left here, which is not enough to intimidate the people of the Red Tiger Tribe and prevent them from harming their own tribesmen who remain here.

If we leave too many people here, it will cause a waste of manpower and be very uneconomical.

Moreover, providing food for so many people who stayed here was also a problem...

Han Cheng stood here thinking about these things and felt that there were many difficulties. Many things needed to be considered and solved.

However, despite thinking so, there was one thing that Han Cheng never wavered on.

The point is that the iron ore here must be developed and utilized.

Overcome as many difficulties as there are, eliminate as many dangers as there are!

Although there are many difficulties, there is always a solution as long as we can do it!

This new tribe must be built nearby, and an iron smelting furnace must be built here!

While Han Cheng was standing here, thinking fiercely, someone came towards Youchao Tribe...
