The Survival of the Wild Tribe

53

Using snow to make a defensive city wall is the simplest defense method that Luo Zhen can think of. However, it's still snowing, and he doesn't want everyone to work in the snow. He gathered everyone just to explain the purpose of the city wall.

"How is snow turned into ice?" After listening to Luo Zhen's explanation, I really felt that their small tribe would be much safer if they could build an ice city wall. However, everyone was as puzzled as Axue. How could soft snow turn into hard ice cubes according to their ideas?

At this temperature, it’s still a bit difficult to turn dripping water into ice. Luo Zhen didn’t say much. He demonstrated what he had seen with his own eyes, as it was easier for these primitive people to understand. He invited everyone to leave the house and showed them a wooden board he had prepared in advance. The square frame was used to press the snow directly into it. Then, a little hot water was poured to reduce the gap between the snowflakes until the entire frame was filled with wet snow.

"At the latest tomorrow, the snow in this frame should be able to turn into ice," Luo Zhen estimated.

The rest of the time was basically just waiting. Naturally, everyone couldn't wait there until all the snow turned into ice. After confirming that the results would not be visible by the next morning, everyone left to attend to their tasks.

Lu Zhan, who had just become the leader, needed to take other soldiers out to patrol. There were too many mountains in the area, and they were not as open as the original Black Panther tribe. Many dangerous animals could quietly hide on the mountain and find the right time to come down and attack. They couldn't be careless.

Patrolling such a large area was not an easy job, and even the strong and sturdy fighters were exhausted enough in a day. "If the wall that the great witch mentioned can really be built, we won't have to send people to run all over the mountain in the future," Hei Fu remarked, feeling relieved.

Hei Fu's son, Ah Qing, nodded in agreement. The number of their fighters was too few, and Ah Qing had to run out almost every three days. He had just grown up, and his strength was not as strong as that of other fighters, and no other fighters were as experienced.

"But can such a big ice city wall really be built? Even the previous great witches couldn't do it?" Ah Qing was still a little skeptical. If the ice city wall was really so useful, why hadn't the previous Black Panther tribe made one? Then they wouldn't have lost so many people to beast attacks during the winter.

"Perhaps the former witch didn't understand it," Hei Fu speculated. "Don't mention the former witch now; we are not the Black Panther tribe anymore. We are the Sun Yao tribe, and our great witch is Luo Zhen alone."

Ah Qing quickly admitted his mistake, "Sorry, I can't change it all at once."

Hei Fu reached out and knocked on his head.

"Luo Zhen, what are you doing?" In the room warmed by the fire, Luo Zhen was carefully putting the dug-in soil into the newly made flower pot.

Clay glue was a good thing. It was very sticky and saved Luo Zhen a lot of effort. Just like this simple flower pot, as long as it was put together with wood chips and glued together, it could last a long time without falling apart.

Luo Zhen looked at the small children around him. During the day, his home almost became a nursery school. Ah Shui would bring these small ones over early in the morning and they would stay there for the whole day.

Their parents were assigned tasks by Luo Zhen, either making animal skin clothes or various weapons and props, and they didn’t have time to care for these children. However, these children were also very well-behaved and occasionally helped Luo Zhen, so he didn’t mind letting them stay. He could teach them a little knowledge, as they were the future of the Riyao tribe, and Luo Zhen was naturally willing to spend more time on them.
