Shouldn't Long Mo be in the tribe?

Bao Feng rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

He rubbed his eyes until they turned red, but Long Mo still didn't disappear.

Seeing Bao Feng, Long Mo was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had missed Bao Feng when he discussed the plan with Hu Jiaojiao.

Hu Jiaojiao's carefulness might have come from Bao Feng.

"What are you doing, Bao Feng."

Hu Qingshan stepped forward and slapped Bao Feng on the shoulder. He thought Bao Feng came with Long Mo.

Hu Qingshan's strength in the tribe was second only to Ying Yuan. After the slap, Bao Feng's shoulder was about to crack. There were two "crackling" sounds, and his face changed drastically.

"No, nothing." Bao Feng's face was livid. Thinking of the important task that the tribe leader had given him, he gritted his teeth and straightened his chest.

He spoke anxiously, "The tribe leader said that on this road..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Qingshan.

"Are you talking about the beastmen who will ambush us on the road?"

Bao Feng: "???"

He hasn't said it yet, how do they know?

Hu Qingshan laughed, "Long Mo has already said it, we all know it."

Hu Qiang also stepped forward and called several beastmen who were resting, "Let's go, let's take the salt flowers to another road."

He was the oldest among these beastmen, so he naturally took the role of leader.

Several beastmen immediately perked up, picked up a large bag of salt flowers weighing one or two hundred kilograms in one hand, and carried it on their shoulders.

They brought back more than 3,000 kilograms of salt, which was more than what they had exchanged for at the seaside. Everyone was very excited and didn't want the orcs to take advantage of the salt.

Soon, the orcs packed up and prepared to leave.

Bao Feng, who was completely ignored, was speechless.

Why did he feel that he was not needed here at all?

So why did he run all the way here, exhausted like a dog...

The group of orcs quickly changed their route, bypassed a mountain, and returned to the tribe from the other side of the mountain.

There was a river more than ten meters wide and deep on the original route. They originally planned to carry the orcs and protect the salt back and forth twice, so that they could save a day to return to the tribe.

But who knew that Long Mo said that there were orcs ambushing on the other side of the river.

They were short of manpower and had to protect the salt flower, so Hu Qiang decisively chose to follow Long Mo's advice.

Take a detour and take a long way.

It's better to go back slowly than to lose your life.

A group of orcs went around the mountain and were about to continue to move forward in the direction of the tribe.

Suddenly, there were wolf howls coming from the forest behind them.

"Aww!"

Because of the previous mutated wolf beast, everyone had a shadow of the wolf howl.

One of the orcs changed color and said nervously, "There are wolves behind."

"Not a wolf pack." Long Mo frowned and looked back at the dense forest. The wolf howls were getting closer and closer, and the speed was not something that ordinary beasts could achieve.

"It's that group of orcs chasing us."

Hu Jiaojiao's careful precautions were indeed right!

...

In the tribe.

Under the command of Hu Jiaojiao, the four beastmen built an earthen kiln.

The kiln only had a small door for the beastmen to bend down and enter. From above, it looked like a huge turtle shell.

A small vent was left on the other side to ensure a certain amount of air flow, but not to completely burn the charcoal.

After the kiln was filled with wood, it was ignited from the kiln door, and soon the flames spread to every corner of the kiln.

Hu Jiaojiao had been guarding the cave entrance. When she saw the wood inside burning red, her face lit up and she shouted:

"Quickly seal the kiln door."

Hu Qinggao and the three beastmen immediately blocked the kiln door with stones and half-dried mud.

It was strict and solid, leaving no gaps.

"Little sister, what are we going to do next?"

"Wait."

After being sealed for half a day, the charcoal inside was basically carbonized.

Several beastmen had never done such an easy job.

They really couldn't sit still, so while waiting, they went outside the tribe and moved enough wood to fill a kiln.

This operation amazed Fox Jiaojiao.

It turned out that she gave their chief a few days too much time to prepare.

No wonder the chief was so happy today when he heard that he was going to burn charcoal, it turned out that he had waited too long.

In the afternoon, Fox Jiaojiao estimated that the time was about right, so she asked them to open the kiln door.

As soon as it was opened, a puff of stinging gray smoke flew out.

"Cough cough..."

Several males coughed and fanned themselves with their hands.

Hu Jiaojiao was about to go in and take a look with anticipation in her eyes.

"Little sister, wait a minute." Hu Qinggao grabbed her.

In Hu Jiaojiao's puzzled eyes, Hu Qinggao carefully cleaned the kiln door that had just been stained with mud, and then said to Hu Jiaojiao:

"Okay, little sister, come and see, is the charcoal you mentioned successful?"

His little sister loves to be clean, and this dark place must not dirty her.

Seeing Hu Qinggao's actions, Hu Jiaojiao's heart warmed.

Several brothers really put her at the top of their hearts and pampered her.

Hu Jiaojiao walked over. The temperature in the kiln was still very high. She used a branch to dig out a piece of black charcoal that had been burned and tapped it gently.

It did not fall apart, but was completely carbonized.

This is a successful burning!

"Brother, it's a success. This is the charcoal that the beast god showed me in my dream." Fox Jiaojiao's face was full of joy.

I didn't expect it to be successful on the first try.

"Really?"

"Great!"

Several beastmen cheered, and one of them hurried to tell the tribe leader the good news.

"Hu Jiaojiao, you are really amazing. Now that the stone house is built, the females in the tribe will not be frozen in winter." The beastmen couldn't help but look at Hu Jiaojiao a few more times.

Why didn't they realize that Hu Jiaojiao was so smart before?

If only they could become a partner...

"That's right, our Jiaojiao is a beastman favored by the beast god." Hu Qinggao snorted lightly, with a proud look on his face.

The two beastmen had a good relationship with Hu Qinggao, and they secretly came to his side, intending to get the upper hand.

"Hu Qinggao, your Jiaojiao only has Long Mo as a companion, should you consider finding a few more companions..."

"What do you think of me?"

Hu Qinggao glanced at them and pushed them away with disdain.

"Go away!"

It's enough to have Long Mo and them competing for Xiaomei, and you want more?

No way.

If you want to covet his Xiaomei, you have to get past him first.

After a while, the chieftain, who was smiling like a flower, came over.

Under the witness of the chieftain, several beastmen began to move the charcoal inside, and soon a small hill of charcoal was piled up.

Hu Jiaojiao had read what was written on the parchment scroll, and a general earthen kiln could burn 200 kilograms of charcoal at a time.

The earthen kiln built by the beastmen was two or three times larger than the ordinary earthen kiln. She roughly estimated that this earthen kiln produced about 500 kilograms of charcoal.

Although the quality is not as good as the industrially produced refined charcoal, it can be used for burning and heating in the beast world.

It has to be said that the beastmen are really strong.

Only the beastmen can complete the earthen kiln with two or three times the workload so quickly.

"Jiaojiao, you have worked so hard. You can take back the first batch of charcoal!"

The patriarch was not stingy and generously gave all the charcoal to Fox Jiaojiao.
