Chapter 50 A Day of Infrastructure Construction
In the end, the huge Humming Beast was completely devoured by the little beastmen in the cave, leaving nothing behind.
Even the last skeleton was dismantled by those untransformed little orcs to grind their teeth.
Looking at the pile of salt in front of him, which resembled a small mountain, he felt both happy and troubled.
Their tribe used to store salt wrapped in huge leaves, but this time the amount of salt was so large that he was at a loss.
Ruan Mianmian noticed that Zhi was standing there motionless with a worried expression on his face, so she immediately went over to ask what was wrong.
When she learned of Zhi's distress, she smiled easily, then raised her hand and waved it gently, and the pile of salt vanished without a trace.
Zhi stared in surprise, then realized that the goddess had once again performed a miracle.
"Tomorrow I'll have Yu and the others figure out a way to make a container that can store the salt properly. Although you can leave the things here with me, you won't be able to access them when I'm not around. So the best way is to make a container to store the salt."
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's explanation, Zhi was thrilled. The goddess's knowledge was truly boundless; she could even create containers. He would definitely go out and see for himself tomorrow.
After exchanging a few more words, the two returned to the stone chamber behind the cave.
It was getting late, and everyone should rest. Because of the wall, the little beastmen no longer huddled together for warmth, but instead scattered around the cave to sleep.
However, there were no beastmen sleeping within five meters of the wall where Ruan Mianmian slept. They assumed it was the goddess's place and that it was not to be entered lightly.
At this moment, Sen had already curled up into a ball and blocked the entrance to the cave. He tried to keep his body close to the wall so that the cold wind blowing into the cave would be greatly reduced.
Because of the wall, Yu no longer had to guard the cave entrance tonight. He transformed into human form and stayed by the fire inside the cave, constantly adding firewood.
Because the cave is deep and huge, this little bit of smoke won't have any impact on anyone.
But seeing this, Ruan Mianmian also secretly paid attention, thinking that she still needed to leave a smoke duct on it tomorrow, otherwise it would be easy to get carbon dioxide poisoning in the sealed space.
With a bunch of dreams of building things, Ruan Mianmian lay down in her bed of leaves and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, while still asleep, Ruan Mianmian seemed to hear the sounds of the beastmen building a wall. She groggily opened her eyes and saw everyone working enthusiastically.
The sky was still blue, so you could imagine they had gotten up and started working very early.
Why didn't you sleep a little longer?!
Ruan Mianmian stretched and then stepped out from under the leaf blanket.
Sen flicked his snake tongue and said, "Zhi did his usual divination this morning, and he divined that it might snow soon. To keep the cave warm, we're going to start working early and build the walls as soon as possible. We also need to hunt; food is still very scarce."
As he spoke, he used his tail to curl up a huge log and placed it against the wall that had been built the day before.
Then the little orcs skillfully placed clay onto the logs. By now, the wall had been built quite high.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from outside the cave. It turned out that Yu had brought Kun and some flying beastmen back from fetching clay.
They lowered their claws, sending up a huge cloud of dust that caused many of the smaller orcs to cough.
Yu dusted himself off and walked into the cave. He noticed Ruan Mianmian, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Little female, you’re awake.” Yu walked to Ruan Mianmian’s side and squatted down slightly. “It’s cold outside, you should stay in the cave.”
Ruan Mianmian shook her head. "I'd like to help too." She looked at the busy beastmen. "What can I do?"
Yu thought for a moment, then pointed to the mountain of clay piled up beside them, "You can help us mix the clay, which will make it easier to build the wall."
Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded, walked to the pile of clay, picked up a wooden stick and began to stir it.
She worked hard and soon joined the other little beastmen in their labor.
The orcs worked together, and the wall gradually rose higher.
Every log and every inch of soil embodies their sweat and hard work.
In this cold winter, they built a warm shelter for themselves with unity and resilience.
