Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Protection

Ze tribe.

The tribe leader's cave was crowded with people. The old priest glanced at the goose wood and asked, "You didn't use the blood?"

"The blood was useless."

The goose head hung very low, and thinking back to what happened to the Mu tribe, he still felt a little afraid.

He said in a trembling voice: "Priest, the Wood Tribe has giant beasts."

The old priest frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The behemoths listened to them and helped the Wood Tribe attack us."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile Ze smashed the stone bowl next to him onto the goose wood. He angrily said, "How can a giant beast listen to people?"

With a "bang", the old priest's cane fell to the ground.

Control the giant beast!

Crocodile Ze noticed that the old priest looked strange, "Priest?"

The old priest came back to his senses, glanced at Emu's bleeding head, and said in a deep voice: "All of you go out, Eze, I have something to tell you."

After everyone left, Eze asked, "Does the priest have anything to say?"

"Do you remember when Yajiu and the others came back from the beast tide, they said that the Wood Tribe suddenly had many orc warriors above level three?"

Eze said nonchalantly, "Remember, they also said that the Wood Tribe hunted a lot of prey during this beast tide."

"The Wood Tribe didn't have enough manpower, so they didn't bring back a lot of prey. The Salt Tribe wanted to divide up the meat that was left, but it all disappeared in the end."

Crocodile Ze asked suspiciously, "Are these related to the giant beasts of the Wood Tribe?"

The old priest nodded and said, "The last priest of the tribe came from Beast City. He once told me that the high priest of Beast City can improve the level of orc warriors in a short period of time."

"And he can control giant beasts and use them for his own purposes."

Crocodile Ze immediately refuted, "Impossible! Giant beasts can only hunt and will not obey orders from humans."

The old priest did not answer. He picked up his cane and stroked it gently.

Looking through the cane, he recalled what the former priest had said to him about the high priest of Beast City.

He wouldn't be wrong.

He had asked the previous priest the same question, and the priest had only replied, "The high priest is the one who is closest to the Beast God."

The beast god is omnipotent.

The old priest muttered to himself, is this the closest existence to the Beast God?

Who is the priest who suddenly appeared in the Wood Tribe?

The old priest picked up his staff and prepared to leave. "If the Wood Tribe goes to the river to catch fish again, tell the patrol to stay away."

Crocodile Ze snorted coldly, "Priest, after the loss of the divine blood, why have you become more and more timid?"

The old priest glared at Eze, knowing that Eze didn't want to listen to him. He said in a bad tone, "You still know that the blood of the gods is lost? Why don't you send more people to help Sheyi and the others find it?"

Eze said unhappily: "Ya Jiu has been sent out. There are only patrol teams left in the tribe. There is no place to spare people."

The old priest's staff clanged against the ground. "Then send them all out!"

"After autumn comes winter. Without the divine blood, do you think the tribe can survive the winter safely?"

Eze wanted to say yes, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Before the tribe had the divine blood, many people died of freezing and starvation;

With the divine blood, as long as the person is still alive, he can be saved.

"I will personally lead someone to look for it."

The old priest sighed and said, "Whether we find it or not, we must return before winter."

..

"Dahei! Tuanzi is here to see you!"

When Dahei heard Tuanzi coming, he quickly stood up and turned around to see Shen Nong leaning on Tuanzi, looking at him with a smile.

Dahei held the huge tree tightly in his hands, his heart beating fast.

She also did not forget to wink at Tuanzi, hoping that her cub could save her.

Tuanzi received the hint from his father, put his paws in his mouth, and looked at Shen Nong with a silly look.

Who would have thought that Shen Nong didn't even look at Tuanzi, "Dahei, why do you keep blinking? Were you beaten by the Ze tribe people?"

Dahei roared twice, hugged the giant tree, felt guilty and his little eyes kept darting around.

Shen Nong knew that this stupid bear was afraid that the bear would be angry because he let the people from the Ze tribe run away because of his playfulness, so he was scared.

Although he didn't take this matter to heart, Shen Nong didn't think that he could wipe out the Ze tribe in one fell swoop at the beginning.

It would be enough to give them a warning and drive them away so that they won’t dare to look down on the Qingmu tribe again.

But this bear is too playful and deserves to be punished, otherwise he won’t learn his lesson in the future.

Shen Nong jokingly asked: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Dahei whimpered twice, wishing he could bury his head in his stomach.

"You let the people of the Ze tribe run away because of your playfulness. As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat meat today and tomorrow. Do you understand?"

Dahei touched his belly pitifully and nodded his head with great grievance.

It didn't feel it at first, but after the priest finished speaking, it felt very hungry.

Dahei: Woo woo woo.

Tuanzi continued to eat the claws, not knowing whether the meat the priest gave him was enough to fill his father's teeth.

Shen Nong finished his punishment and started to talk business, "Dahei, pull out five giant trees. I will be of use."

Dahei touched his belly and looked up at Shen Nong cautiously.

The meaning is obvious: I'm so hungry that I have no strength.

Shen Nong knew what the bear was up to, so he said nonchalantly, "If you can't do it, I'll let Ze pull it out."

Shen Nong turned his head to look at Ze who had been following him.

Ze's mind was full of thoughts about how his beast form would need to be very hairy, when he suddenly heard Shen Nong calling his name, "Well, pull it out."

Then he heard Tuanzi yell "Chi". Shen Nong stared at Zeyi's panda hair and couldn't help laughing, "I told you to pull up the tree, not the hair."

Ze held a handful of Mao, glanced at Tuanzi who was crying because of the loss of his beloved Mao, and with a deep laugh, he pressed the Mao in his hand on Tuanzi.

"Back to you."

Tuanzi looked at the hair falling to the ground and cried even louder.

It's furry!

Shen Nong touched the place where Tuanzi's hair was plucked, and comforted him softly: "Tuanzi, don't cry. I'll let you drink an extra can of sugar water when we get home, okay?"

Tuanzi rubbed his head against Shen Nong, humming and acting coquettishly.

Ze looked at Tuanzi and the priest, and smoothed away the remaining hair from his palm.

Counting the time to awakening in my heart.

..

Dahei was afraid that he would be snatched away alive, so he didn't dare to negotiate any conditions. The giant tree was uprooted very quickly.

Shen Nong used burnt wooden strips to draw blueprints of crossbows and catapults on smooth wooden boards.

I still remember that in my previous life, my master always said that he was born with a talent from God. His ability to remember everything he saw is something many people dream of.

But except for the master, everyone else would ignore his own efforts and only think that it was helped by his talent.

For the sake of his master, Shen Nong listened to it twice and didn't care.

Later I got tired of hearing that whenever someone said he relied on his talent, he would use his talent to crush the other person's strengths.

It takes others ten years to learn it thoroughly, but Shen Nong can recite it by heart in just one month.

Many people were depressed and wanted to quit their jobs.

Later, the master came forward and said that Shen Nong could only recite it but did not understand the meaning at all.

This slightly comforted the experts whose self-confidence had been hit by Shen Nong.

Shen Nong did not expose his master's white lie. He just wanted to memorize it, so he didn't need a month at all.

But what the master said was indeed right, God really gave him a gift.

If he didn't have a photographic memory, he really wouldn't be able to draw an ancient weapon after only seeing the disassembly drawings.

Mark the required size of the wooden board and give it to Hu Xiao and Tu Feng to polish.

"Priest! The bricks you asked for are ready!" Tu Dong came running over with a basket on his back. "The bricks are piled up like a hill, too many to count!"

Shen Nong said happily: "That's great!"

He had long wanted to build some tribal defense. With the crossbows and catapults, a wall was definitely necessary.

The bricks for building the brick kiln have now been fired. Once the walls are completed, the tribe’s mud houses can be replaced with brick houses.

The brick kiln is three meters high, with a dome-shaped top that looks like a big steamed bun, and is wrapped in mud to be airtight.

Because of the detailed drawings and the orcs' vigor and strength, the kiln was built very quickly.

Shen Nong had people put the dried adobe bricks into the kiln room, light the chopped tree roots in the fire pit, and seal the kiln door.

Only a small opening is left for continuing to add tree roots, and the smoke from the fire pit is transmitted into the kiln chamber along the fire channel under the kiln chamber.

The earth bricks are heated evenly and change slowly.

Smoke began to come out of the smoke outlet outside the cave, and the people of the Mu tribe gathered in front of the cave, watching the rising fireworks.

Tuhua held a bamboo tube in her arms, which contained water soaked with persimmon jam, and asked curiously, "Priest, can this big house really produce a lot of bricks?"

Before Shen Nong could answer, Mao Cao said, "The priest said it can be burned, so it can definitely be burned!"

Shen Nong smiled and said, "Autumn is coming soon. Go pick some fruits and save them for the winter."

Maocao led Tuhua and a few others, carrying a backpack and jumping away.

Shen Nong told the people guarding the kiln, "The temperature inside the kiln is very high. After the kiln is fired, it will take a few days for it to cool down before it can be opened. Don't be impatient, or you will get burned."

"Got it, Priest!"

The scale of the brick kiln is not small, Shen Nong built three brick kilns.

One kiln can produce thousands of bricks, and hopefully the wall can be built before winter comes.

Everyone in the Mu tribe has been very busy recently.

The wood needed for the crossbow and catapult was also polished. Shen Nong tried many animal tendons and finally decided to use the tendons of a giant bull-shaped beast to make the crossbow string and the catapult part of the catapult.

This tendon is very tough and of suitable size.

Shen Nong processed the giant bull tendon and installed it on the crossbow cart.

There was no iron to make arrowheads, and the arrows used in the crossbow were just sharpened wooden sticks.

Some feathers were glued to the tail of the wooden arrow to add stability.

"brush!"

The arrow flew through the air and penetrated into a tree trunk a hundred meters away.

Because the force was so great, the tail of the wooden arrow buzzed.

Hu Xiao ran after the wooden arrow and his eyes widened when he saw the tree trunk.

My beast god...

"Priest! The tree trunk was split by the wooden arrow!!"

Split?

Shen Nong looked at the crossbow cart, which was quite powerful.

"Try the sling again."

The projection arm is made of a giant tree, and Dahei has to use all his strength to break the tree.

It is best used as a shooting arm.

The catapult made by Shen Nong is an upgraded and evolved version, with specially made gears that can swing the projection arm down.

A stone of appropriate size was placed in the slingshot. Shen Nong pulled the hemp rope that fixed the sling arm, and the hemp rope slid down with the wooden hook on the top.

The projection arm broke free from its restraints and drew an arc in the air. The huge rock in the groove flew out suddenly when the projection arm became vertical.

"Boom."

The huge rock fell to the ground with a loud noise and created a deep pit.

Hu Xiao was shocked by the power of the crossbow before, and was eager to know the power of the catapult.

He ran towards the spot where the boulder had landed.

Staring at the hole made by the huge rock, Hu Xiao felt that the next time there was a beast tide, their Mu tribe could just push the crossbow carts and catapults and hunt many giant beasts.

The trials of the crossbow and catapult were very successful. Shen Nong looked at the blood stomach bag that Ze Bu had dropped on the ground in the system warehouse.

He asked Hu Xiao and his men to continue making the wooden boards according to the previous specifications. After the long wall was built, he would place a catapult and a crossbow cart every two meters.

The blood of the cannibal priest can suppress the orcs' transformation. In order to be prepared, Shen Nong had to make more preparations.

As soon as he returned to the tribe gate, Shen Nong heard a voice calling him not far away.

The fruits in the cat grass basket were scattered along the way. He waved his arms, "Priest! Our collection team caught someone at the waterfall!"
