Chapter 64: Taking the first step towards building a tribe  

The barbarian's Yuan Zhan brought back the first building stones and prey with The Awu warriors.

Sixteen people, no one was full intact, frostbite is common amongst the 16 and there is also a wounds, bite, and some bruises and scratches.

Yan Mo found that the eyes of The Awu warriors who followed Yuan Zhan changed when they looked at him. If they had only awe and gratitude to Yuan Zhan, they now have more trust, admiration and love for Yuan Zhan.

Under such a difficult condition, Yuan Zhan is able to bring these people back and all of them alive. It is not easy, but he does the most, not only he is the one who does mine stones but also to defend against beast attacks.

Yan Mo took over the injured, still according to the severity of the injury he treated the injured in the who is most severe order, and he did not treat Yuan Zhan first because he was the leader, and Yuan Zhan did not even ask. While everyone else was resting and receiving treatment, he commanded the stone he mined to be placed at his designated location.

Yan Mo came to see it on the way. Only the Yuan Zhan was able to do the work of digging the pit. Others could only watch it.

"Ah-Zhan."

Yuan Zhan raised his head from the pit. His head was covered with snow, but those snow fell quickly because of the hot air on his body, and his pelts had some ice on it.

Yan Mo crouched down the pit. "If you try to loosen all the soil in top the land below is all soft and in the spring."

Yuan Zhan was stunned and stood in the pit without talking, as if he was thinking of the feasibility about what Yan Mo said.

"You can make the soil gather into earthen walls and soil pillars, then have tried to do the reverse? You need to think of the soil under your feet as two solidified soil walls and try to break them up." Yan Mo does not understand to what extent Yuan Zhan soil control ability is, he is only using the information he has accumulated to help Yuan Zhan develop more uses of his ability. Whether it is impossible or not, it is not a bad thing to try.

"Since you can make hard stones become crunchy under your hands, why don't you just cruchy it, then make it move then these frozen soils should not be in the same place."

Yuan Zhan seems to think of something trying to figure it out, He turned and looked at him and dug half of the pit, and put his hand on the soil that was frozen like a stone.

After a while, the soil suddenly collapsed, and the loose soil slipped into the pit and on Yuan Zhan's face.

“Yes!" Yuan Zhan whispered in excitement.

Yan Mo looked at the sweating man in the winter, and frowned. "You don't have to make it so loose. You try to control your ability extensions. Just make the soil easy for ordinary people to dig with ease, and you only need control the scope and you do it as a one-time thing and loosen a cubic meter, as you keep on doing it your control will increase."

Yuan Zhan nodded and waved to Yan Mo, his Priest Da Ren seemed to help him imagine and develop again. Its like an opened door, he was busy to verify how much Yuan Zhan can do, he does not feel tired he just wanted to try it out.

Yan Mo stood up and pointed to the loose soil to the road around him: "You have worked hard."

They were so embarrassed that to see Yuan Zhan working alone Hu Hu and other Awu people felt inadequate. The Warriors immediately understood the meaning of Priest Da Ren words. They immediately took the stone-pick with pick-axe and took the stone shovel and they started to get busy.

In the evening, Yuan Zhan, who was tired for a day, shook the snow off her body and opened the tent curtain and drilled it in.

Yan Mo glanced at him and knew that this person would come over, but now there are not many tents, everyone is sharing and he alone using a single tent. Who can Yuan Zhan not come to find him?

"This is not the way." Yan Mo was giving the barbecue a bee.

“What is not the way?" Yuan Zhan sat down in front of the fire pit and stared drooling at the barbecue with a strange smell.

"The defensive walls can't all be piled up with stones, so you can't make a wall when you're busy in the spring."

"What good way do you have to make them then?"

Yan Mo sink to his seat "I don't think your ability has enough strength to it."

Since he is capable of using it why not try to develop more usage for it? If the training method is right, you may be able to upgrade to 1st Rank throughout the winter.

"I thought about it." Otherwise...How can a person mining stone and digging pits without any complaints? “Do you have any good ideas about how to train my abilities?"

“ Yes. I think you need systematic and purposeful training, not just digging holes and mining stones."

“Like what you told me today. As said, not only should I be able to control the soil, but also control the effect range that I can control?"

"Smart, that is called subtle manipulation. In addition to trying all aspects of your ability, you must also train your ability to release and control the of that ability. What is the maximum amount of soil that you can control? The most subtle effect can you do it? Because we need it now, you may wish to train the subtle manipulation first. The training method is also very simple, you can put pointers on the soil first, then look at yourself whether your soil manipulation is within this range, and then if you can increase or decrease the effected area little bit, until you reach a specific ranged area that you want to control and test the extent of how much you can control."

Yuan Zhan looked at his hand and his face.

Yan Mo yelled at him, "In addition to direct manipulation by hand and foot, you can try again with another idea... I mean to use it directly, that is, mental control of the soil."

"I tried, it seems that I can't do it. At least not now." Yuan Zhan said: "I can only control the soil and rocks that my body is in direct contact."

"But you can control not only the small piece that your body can touch, is it?"

This sentence lighted up Yuan Zhan. "You mean that I have actually used... the mental control you said?"

"I am studying the source of your control so I can better it." Yan Mo does not know what he was thinking of, he had to temporary change the topic, "The construction speed is too slow now. You can try to gather the loose soil into the wall foundation pit, let them form a soil wall, and the earth wall will be empty and then fill the empty space with blocks. "

Yuan Zhan, immediately understood what he meant,"You mean create two walls as the skin and use the hard stones as the internal visceral."

"What it means, if you are worried that the stones in the middle will loosen after long period of time then you can add some soil in those gray gelatinous mud and snow and then mix them in, then stir them until they get this mixed soil with stones to form walls, which should be strong and offer a good degree of assurance. "

Yuan Zhan, with a big head his face was bright. "If this is possible, then I will add the gravel directly to the mixed soil. When the skin walls to add the stone will not be necessary."

"You can try."

Yuan Zhan was excited. He can't wait to run out and try it out, but after Yan Mo cuts the bee milk barbecue with a knife, his ass immediately becomes stuck, and he was no longer willing to get up.

Yan Mo used his ankle to hit him. "Go to dig some clean snow and come back to the soup. You can't eat barbecue at night."

The two ate and sipped and them leaned against the fire and rolled to sleep together.

Yan Mo vowed to leave two feet between them when he slept, but the bastard rolled over him and fell asleep.

Although it was warm to sleep like this, but... Yan Mo grabbed the big claw that touched his butt and pushed it out.

Yuan Zhan saw the gold pin on his wrist and wanted to pull it out with his other hand.

"You don't want to sleep. From now on, you will roll with me to another tent to sleep!" Yan Mo took out another golden needle to threaten him.

"So touching is not OK,"

"Not."

Yuan Zhan was looking at the small slave holding a golden needle, he wanted to hit him, saying one was: "I worked so hard, you, as Priest Da Ren, should give me a reward like when you rewarded The Awu Tribe!"

“Didn't you eat at night?"

Yuan Zhan was silent for three seconds, and he helled in anger: “The lamb was caught by me!"

“The bee milk was not, those herbs that I used are not. Who do you think cooked that delicious meal? Otherwise how can you have a special meal that I cooked myself?"

Yuan Zhan turned around and felt that he was suffering. He turned back and held Yan Mo with the one hand.

Yan Mo struggled, "Hey!"

"I will... Just sleep, nothing but sleeping!" Yuan Zhan forced out a word.

Yan Mo saw that he was on the verge of explosion and he pulled out the golden needle, he turned over, and turn his back to Yuan Zhan to sleep.

Yan Mo stared at his neck, his eyes moved the left hand that was moving again, and he saw Yuan Zhan putting it in the fur for a while, then slowly extending between his legs...

Yan Mo listened to the unsuspecting wrigg behind him. He wanted to know what the other side was doing with his knees.

Really... I am working so busy day after day!

Yan Mo felt that the man was secretly using his ass and waist, and there was nothing to say about the wretched barbarians seeking release.

Forget it, just don't overdo it, just give him a reward. Yan Mo once again meditated in his heart for the Nth time that he still needs this person.

In order to rule out that strange feeling, Yan Mo looked at his right palm.

His scum value has been reduced to 5,000 points before departure, and indeed, as he expected, a new reward came out.

But this time he has been dragging until now he has not chosen his reward, yes, choose. There are two rewards for this time, but he can only choose one.

One reward is that the volume of the herbal pack can be increased to 10 cubic meters; and there is also a second reward that is the primary training method.

The first reward is clear and clear, so that the reward content can be understood.

However, this second reward that is the primary training method Yan Mo doesn't know what is the training for exactly and since The Guide does not say clearly, the second reward only came with an added note "This is a double-edged sword, the practitioner should be cautious."

Because of this comment, Yan Mo hesitated to choose.

Feeling that the bastard was getting more and more arrogant, Yan Mo made up his mind and decided to pick this primary training method. Then even if he didn't train according to the law, but he can learn enough to beat the naught little bastard who was holding him back!

Waiting for the next bastard to practice is no problem, he will not be late to learn how to defend himself.

The next day, Yuan Zhan told Hu Hu and another warrior named Da Ze to take people out to find food and cut grass and cut trees.

Hu Hu followed Yuan Zhan instructions, did not go to the oversized lake, but went to the nearby small lakes to beat the ice to catch fish. Da Ze took another group of people to the snow to find the hay buried in the snow, cut it back and bring it back to the sparse woods by the big lake.

Temporary residence was only left with a few warriors to defend the tents

Yan Mo gave the three little devils a homework and didn't care about them. He still had to take time to ponder the primary training method. He knew if he didn't understand it himself and couldn't teach Yuan Zhan.

Yuan Zhan accepted the advice from Yan Mo and began to directly smash the wall.

On the first day, Yuan Zhan used colloidal mud ash and snow water and add gravel and soil while he was stirring them together. Two different small soil walls were made in different proportions. He did not find anyone else, and every time he will take his feet and hit a few times against the soil to see the solidity of the soil.

When he made the fifth spur, Yuan Zhan went to find Yan Mo. He felt that since he couldn't remember the proportions Yan Mo can fix it Of course, he was looking for his Priest Da Ren.

Yan Mo also wanted to know the exact optimal blending ratio and followed it out. It's just that he doesn't have a pen and paper record. He can only use the old method to let Yuan Zhan give him the right slate. He takes the charcoal notes on the slate and waits for the best ratio. He will let Yuan Zhan use the ratio according to his writing onto the slate. In this way, he has accumulated nearly ten pieces of slate for important matters.

The next day, Hu Hu saw that the leader needed broken stones. When he remembered the countless large and small stones in the stream they saw on the road, he told Yuan Zhan about it and asked him if he wanted them.

"Yes, of course. How much can you bring back."

Hu Hu and the group he led were happy. Before they were used to seeing only the leader and Priest Da Ren getting busy, they can only get them some food as part of helping and they felt terrible. As soon as he heard that the leader needed the stones, Hu Hu immediately dragged the big planks to bring back the stones. They can't slash rocks and soil in the winter like the leader but it will be a good work to smash stones on the banks of the creek and bring back because at least they would feel like they're contributing..

After Hu Hu brought back the first batch of pebbles, the whole place was noisy, and Da Ze did not go to the grass to pick up the firewood. He had to go with the Hu Hu to pick up the stones until he too were praised by Yan Mo. One sentence stopped him: It is also important to keep the fire intact.

Da Ze and his group of people continued to happily do the work.

On the third day, after many attempts, Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo finally worked together to develop the most suitable blending ratio.

Yuan Zhan recovered a little and immediately he couldn't wait to make a wall of about two feet wide, one meter high and two meters long. He couldn't wait for the earth wall to dry naturally, he decided to letting people ignite fire on both sides of the earth wall, trying to speed up the drying.

Yan Mo saw it, thoughtfully said: "if you can make the frozen soil loose and allow the soil to mix with. It is not difficult to to control the wall and force the excess water out of the soil. Have you tried it?"

Yuan Zhan now working hard and listens to Yan Mo suggestion in terms of developing his own abilities, Yan Mo's suggestion is almost like his unconditional trust. Once he has made such a proposal, Yuan Zhan will try it immediately.

But until he succeeded, he didn't understand what he did.

"What do you think when you do this?" Yan Mo asked him.

Yuan Zhan thought for a moment. "I want the earth wall to let it dry quickly, drain the water, and turn it into the hardest stone wall."

"How does the water disappear, how do you know?"

Yuan Zhan shook his head.

Yan Mo can't figure it out. If Yuan Zhan's ability is to manipulate the soil, is the moisture contained in the soil also in his control?

Metals and many other substances, in a broad sense, belong to the soil.

If Yuan Zhan can control the soil, can he also control other substances contained in the soil?

If he really has this ability, it is convenient to mine things later. Yan Mo thoughts began to run away. He fantasized about the various applications of Yuan Zhan's ability. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it would be impossible.

After the earthen wall with a lot of pebbles was brought out, Yuan Zhan asked several warriors to attack the wall with various stone tools.

Yan Mo directly pointed to the one wood which was brought by Da Ze yesterday and he hugged the trunk, letting everyone pick up other trunk and hit the earth wall.

Yuan Zhan looked at the trunk, and his heart was a bit prideful.

A collision, the earth wall did not move.

After hitting again, the earth wall is still not moving.

Three hits, a few pieces of broken soil fell from the place where the trunk directly hit, but this is was seen by Yan Mo

Yan Mo's eyes fell to the visceral of the wall. "Da Zhan, you look at the wall and its insides, there is a bit loose."

Yuan Zhan also found out.

"In order to make it strong, the ground wall must also bear the foundation according to this blending ratio. To establish a deeper root, you can lay three columns underneath, then build a wall on the three-point foundation, and then lay the remaining seven foundations with soil. The wall will be containing in the foundation columns, so that the earth wall will be directly rooted in the foundation and will become more stable."

“What about the joints?"

Yan Mo said slowly: “That is what you have to consider, if you use your ability to make the joints should not be difficult to make a piece of joint." Yan Mo is only responsible for making comments and suggestions.

Yan Mo's suggestion makes Yuan Zhan do a few times more work, but it is undeniable that the foundation and mixed earth walls that was created by Yan Mo suggestion was very strong.

Yuan Zhan regarded the process of building tribes as a process of training his own ability, but he does not feel bitter, but his mind is all about how to get the walls strong and solid, no matter how complicated the process is.

Yan Mo, who is used to enjoying the blessing, sees that the building is going as expected he urged Yuan Zhan not to get the defensive wall up first, but to get the houses first. His reason is: "Since the earth wall made by this method is so strong, even if it is there is no defensive wall, and when the ferocious beast comes, we can hide in the house and we would not be afraid that the beast will break through the wall."

"What about the door? Do you want a window? If ferocious beast keeps us inside? Are we prepared to starve Is it in the house?"

Yan Mo kept quiet and he hated going back to the house. He had to quickly study the primary training method and teach this little bastard who doesn't give him face even if he had to do it tonight!

The author has something to say:

Yuan Zhan: How many golden needles does my Tribe Priest Da Ren have? Where is he hiding them?

- Yuan Zhan, who secretly throws the herbal bag to the side, wanted to climb Yan Mo's body and then he saw the golden needle that Yan Mo had in his hand shine.

Yuan Zhan: It is not advisable to steal gold needles. Soft lookinh ones can only be hard. You have to train yourself to defend against the gold needles!

- I caught! The first gold pin was taken. You still haven't kissed me, and I will quickly grabbed the second golden needle that I had stabbed myself. Wait, the third one is coming!

——Yuan Zhan, who has stolen 18 gold needles in a row, is angry, no, it is the fastest to tie!

Yuan Zhan yelled : laugh: Little slave you just wait I will go get the rope!
