After all, the stone pot boils water slowly, and it has been a long time since the hot water filled the large wooden barrel.
Kakutuki's back had no other wounds except for being torn apart by them at first. At this time, he was still in good spirits, and he still had the energy to comfort his worried partner and children.
The water in the stake cools very quickly, and after only half an hour of soaking, the water inside has changed from hot to lukewarm.
Luo Zhen has been paying attention to the changes in the mud. After soaking in hot water, although it has become softer, it is still a bit reluctant to completely tear off the animal skin from Horn Bamboo's back.
"Perhaps regardless of it, it will automatically fall off after a long time." Looking at Luo Zhen's expression, Kakuzu knew that things soaked in hot water were not ideal. At least for the time being, there was no way to remove the stuck beast with bubbles alone. Get it off.
"What are you talking about? What if it keeps sticking and won't fall off? Don't you plan to take this skin?" Hei Ya disagreed. Fur is a very important thing for warriors who can transform into beasts. It not only keeps the body warm in winter, but also has strong defense when fighting. Warriors who lack fur will lose more than half their strength.
Luo Zhen pursed his lips. He thought for a while, "Shall we try heating the water directly?"
"How to heat it directly?"
"Dig an earthen stove or something." Luo Zhen made a gesture and explained to everyone: "Put a stone slab on it to isolate the flame, then put the big wooden stake on the stone slab, and then light the fire under the earthen stove, so that the water inside the stake will not get cold so quickly."
"Are you going to boil the horn bamboo?" The little soldier A Qing exclaimed.
Luo Zhen glanced at him and shook his head, "No, we can control the fire in the earthen stove. If the water temperature is too high, just remove the wood inside."
A Qing flushed when he heard the words, touched his nose, and silently reflected on his fuss.
With the help of the soldiers, the work of setting up the earthen stove was quickly completed, and water that had just been boiled in a stone pot was added to the wooden barrel, and it started to ignite in the earthen stove.
With the blessing of the flames, the water in the big wooden stakes did not get cold anymore this time, and the hard mud became softer and softer in the hot water.
Luo Zhen stayed up all night, and Heiya carefully stared at the mud situation, until the sky was already bright. Heiya took a soft animal skin towel to clean up the stubborn mud.
Horn bamboo was soaked in hot water all night, and everyone was a little groggy. His skin was white and wrinkled. Hei Ya took him out of the water distressedly and put him on the animal skin skirt he had prepared, helping him to rest in the straw shed.
"Let’s eat something first, thank you for your hard work."
Luo Zhen looked at the piece of golden yellow that he handed to his mouth. Only then did he finally see the original appearance of the flame ant larva.
It was a beautiful, spar-like cocoon, semi-transparent, and it could be seen that there was a caterpillar-like thing much larger than a normal ant inside it.
"I think it's enough to eat a few wild fruits." Luo Zhen, whose head was a little swollen because of the whole night, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and refused the food that Lu Zhan handed over.
This time Lu Zhan didn’t say a word and stuffed his mouth to comfort him. But even though Luo Zhen was used to most of the food in this world, he didn’t want to force himself when his stomach didn’t strongly suggest it. Go eat those weird things.
