Chapter 211
Under the cloudless blue sky, there was still a biting chill in early spring. No green grass had yet sprouted on the yellow-brown earth. Only a group of silver-white wolves and gray-brown argali were pulling plows to reclaim wasteland on the vast plains.
This was not the first time that Yu Sui saw the beast form of the argali, and he was still shocked by the huge horns. The Fantasy Continent was simply a nightmare for people with gigantic phobia. Whether it was the beast form of the orcs or the size of the monsters, they were all outrageous.
The argali tribe is more suitable for farm work than the snow werewolves. The argali people are not as fast as the snow werewolves, but their endurance is better than that of the snow werewolves.
The sharp claws that the Snow Wolf people are proud of are not as good as those of the Argali people when it comes to farming. For example, it is okay for Ashan to dig a hole in the land with his claws, but it is really a test of his patience to pull the plow slowly and carefully to open up the land.
The little cubs, on the other hand, were very enthusiastic about this activity. They pulled the dwarf plows to plow the plains in an orderly manner, picking up the stones, tree roots and other objects they dug out and throwing them aside.
Yu Sui and others marked the locations of each factory, and the plains outside the factories and roads could be reclaimed into fields.
Although this land is fertile, it has never been cultivated, and reclaiming it is a hassle.
Before plowing the land, the tribesmen had cleared all the trees and large rocks on the plain.
Dwarves are considered strong and robust in the human world, but they are not so strong among the orcs. A few of the Snow Werewolves or the Argali people, no matter which tribe they are from, can do more work than hundreds of them.
Yu Sui simply arranged for the dwarves to be responsible for cooking. This was not an easy job. Nearly three hundred dwarves had to cook for more than one hundred orcs, and they were still very tired.
The task of opening up new land was heavy, and the snow wolves who originally worked in the cafeteria were also transferred by Yu Sui to open up new land. Moreover, the orcs did a lot of physical labor, so they had to eat more. Originally, one hundred kilograms of food was enough for a meal, but in the past few days, every orc had to double the amount of food for every meal.
If they weren't worried about the dwarves being exhausted, the orcs working in their beast forms would all want to eat in their beast forms, and their appetite would double...
The plains within the tribal territory are more than enough for farming. Yu Sui estimates that the cultivated land could reach hundreds of thousands of acres, comparable to a large farm in a certain United States.
With such a large area, even the Snow Wolf People and the Argali People would still be exhausted from working.
The snow wolves, who always seemed to have endless energy, also collapsed. They worked until dark every day. Everyone lay on the newly cleared field ridges waiting to be fed, and they didn't even have the energy to go to the cafeteria to eat.
The argali people were in better condition and could help deliver the dwarves and tableware who came to deliver food back to the tribe. The snow werewolves slept directly on the edge of the field after eating, as they would not be frozen in the early spring weather anyway.
Only the soldiers could rest for half a day when they were on patrol. They had never thought that one day they would be eagerly looking forward to their turn on patrol.
Ah Shan cried every day with a bitter face, saying that if he had known, he would rather train and get beaten than open up new lands...
Yu Sui originally wanted to join in the reclaiming of wasteland. As the clan leader, he had to set an example. However, he couldn't pull the large plow, and as soon as he tried to use it, he was discovered and driven away by others. In the end, he could only use the dwarf-specific plow with the cubs.
But even though they complained, these orcs were really hardworking. Even their cubs kept working. The little snow wolves and argali with their tiny bodies were pulling the plow and they couldn't be driven away. It was as if they all knew that this was an important job and they just helped along.
The more Yu Sui watched, the more guilty he felt. He felt that he was just like Yu Baopi, who even spared no child laborers.
He had forgotten that he was also a cub and that others looked at him in the same way.
The dwarf children also wanted to help. They picked up small shovels and hoes and dug in the ground, but the effect was no different from playing house.
After all, they are different from orc cubs. Although the orc cubs are in the form of small snow wolves and sheep, their strength is similar to that of adult dwarves.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of plains were difficult to cultivate even for the orcs. In the past month or so, when the weather warmed up completely, only half of them had been cultivated.
Clearing wasteland is not like plowing the land. There are countless stones and tree roots entangled underneath, and they all need to be picked out, otherwise you can't grow anything.
The turned land still needs to be buried with base fertilizer. The tribe only has the feces of dozens of rabbits and chickens and ducks in the farm, which is just a drizzle in front of so many fields.
However, in the vast forest dozens of miles away on the other side of the Heitu tribe, there is a lot of feces from various monsters, but it is difficult to collect.
The tribesmen had put in a lot of effort just to clear the wasteland, and Yu Sui also wanted to save as much trouble as possible. He racked his brains and searched through his memory for something that could be used as manure. After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of one thing, which was bone meal.
The remaining bones of the monsters eaten by the snow wolves over the years were thrown into a valley. In addition to those eaten by small animals, there were still many left. Yu Sui and Qi brought a few orcs and used wooden carts to pull out several carts of bones.
Yu Sui vaguely remembered that wood ash and bone meal could be used to fertilize the fields, so he collected a lot of hay, branches and bones and mixed them together to burn.
The burning temperature was not enough to fully burn the bones, so Yu Sui mobilized all his magic power to release a wall of fire. When the two flames merged, the fire grew fiercely, and the flames at the top tended to turn blue.
It is not so easy to burn the bones of high-level monsters into bone powder, at least not with Yu Sui's magic.
What he had people collect were basically low- and medium-level Warcraft bones. Compared with the bones of ordinary animals, the bone powder made from burning Warcraft bones is definitely more beneficial.
The remaining high-level monster bones were picked out by the snow wolves, and those that could be used for exchange had been traded to human caravans.
Unfortunately, when Yu Sui was pulling the bones, he was quite envious, but he had no way to burn them. He could ask the dwarf to burn them in a smelting furnace, but it was too troublesome, so he simply gave up on the high-level monster bones.
Yu Sui was burning bone meal in an open area, while the tribesmen were clearing the land, cooking, and even Shuyu was helping to plow the land with natural magic. Only Lanlos, who thought Yu Sui was making something delicious, followed him closely.
"You can't eat this, put it down!" Yu Sui couldn't bear it any longer and hit Lanluos on the forehead.
Lanlos secretly pulled out a charred monster bone taller than a human from the fire and was gnawing on it. He stopped after being knocked and pitifully threw the bone back into the fire.
"Aren't we grilling meat? The bones can be eaten too..." Lanlos said in a low voice.
How many weird things did this silly kid eat while wandering? How could he eat everything? Thinking of the way Lanlos hung on a pheasant's butt when he first met him, Yu Sui was speechless about this fool, feeling both angry and amused.
You say he is not picky about food, but this guy is very smart and knows who cooks better. You say he is picky about food, but he will eat anything when he is hungry.
