Chapter 64: Taking the first step towards building a tribe (1/2)
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!
