Chapter 350: Scare the Beast

Ji Nuan smiled: "Yes, it is made from the stone water in your porcelain basin."

The old beastman's eyes sparkled even brighter. "Then I'll have the boys go out and move the stones tomorrow, and then boil them into water to make such sharp iron tools."

Ji Nuan shook her head helplessly and said, "Uncle, the stone that can be used to make iron tools is not just any ordinary stone. It must be iron ore or other metal ores."

The old beastman was confused by the other metal ores mentioned by his witch doctor, but he understood the iron ore: "Does it mean that only iron ore can be used to make such sharp iron tools?"

Ji Nuan nodded: "Yes, so now we have to ask those kids where they got the stones they threw into the furnace."

The old beastman smiled and said, "I know that. I heard that the tribe leader brought the beastmen to the Dashi tribe last time and picked up the stone at the gate of their settlement. The stone was red, so the beastmen brought it back to please the females they liked or give it to their own cubs."

My kid also brought back a lot and gave them all to his little kid to play with. Today, that little guy brought other kids over to play and threw some in.

When talking about his grandson, the old beastman's face was full of kindness.

After hearing what the old beastman said, Ji Nuan also remembered that there seemed to be half a basket of such stones in her own warehouse. At that time, she only thought that they were stones with slightly special colors and did not pay much attention to them. However, she did not expect that they were actually iron ore.

She said excitedly, "There is still half a basket of iron ore in my warehouse. It's just there. I will take it and make a bigger iron tool."

The old beastman was so excited that he was not willing to wait any longer. He thought for a moment and shouted, "Go, two boys, go to the witch doctor's warehouse and bring back the basket with the red stones."

Ji Nuan found the old beastman's anxious look very funny. She looked at the beastman who had already stood up and said, "It's on the left side of the warehouse entrance, in a backpack."

The orc nodded and ran out.

The orc was very fast, and soon he ran in carrying a backpack. "Witch doctor, is this it?"

Ji Nuan walked over to take a look and said with a smile, "This is it."

The old beastman wolfed down the roasted meat in his hand. After swallowing it in a few gulps, he wiped his greasy hands on the animal skin beside him, picked up the backpack and said, "Witch doctor, leave this to me. Just tell me how you want it to be, and I'll do it."

Ji Nuan nodded, picked up a burnt stick, and drew the shape of a long knife on the stone: "That's it."

Then he emphasized the blade: "This part should be as thin as possible during the final hammering, and the blade will also be sharpened here."

The old beastman moved the stone to a higher place with great care, and then said, "It is difficult to petrify the iron ore. In addition, it takes hammering to forge iron tools. I am afraid that we will not be able to make it until tomorrow night."

Ji Nuan smiled and said, "It's okay, just do it with confidence. We are not in a hurry anyway. You must remember not to let the orcs touch the sharp blade. If a finger or arm is cut off, there will be no way to reattach it."
