In terms of improving the efficiency of smelting and combustion, Tinch specially selected a number of people to prepare for a job: crushing the ore, making the ore as broken as possible and putting it into the ash kiln. If there are no crushing tools, the ore is smashed with an axe and a large stone and transported through a sieve.

The construction of the ash kiln is somewhat different from those in the tribe, digging a pit one and a half meters deep from the same place, two meters long and two meters wide, the left and right sides are used as the excavation ground for the two ash kilns, and the lower side is dug out of a slope as the entrance and exit, and the bottom of the four-square-meter pit is used as a working site.

After the pit was excavated, the two kilns were dug up. The diameter of the kiln is about 1.2 meters, dig directly from the ground down one meter, and then indent it ten centimeters to the middle, leaving a side for placing the partition grid, and continue to dig down to the bottom of the pit. Then the others mixed mud and grass on it, and along the excavated inner diameter, the upper part of the kiln body was 35 centimeters thick and 1 meter high, and the top was reduced as much as possible to about 50 centimeters.

At the bottom of the pit, another person with a shovel continued to dig a hole 40 centimeters above the bottom of the pit, which was used to place the clay pot and receive the copper juice flowing from it. Ten centimeters above the mouth, that is, where the partition grid is placed, an opening is also excavated for slag. Finally, a small opening is made with a wooden stick on top of the hole where the slag is extracted, which is used as a vent and from here the air pump is used to transport air to the kiln.

The two ash kilns were built at the same time, and the extra manpower was there to smash ore, and at this time, the five people from Ben's group also came from the camp, indicating that the cave kiln there was also sealed.

However, the rat who led the team told Ding Qi the news that the fox and his brother had disappeared! They searched inside and outside the camp, but they couldn't find it.

"No need to look for it, I know where they went."

After listening to the report of the mouse, Ding Qi knew where the two foxes went, and he pointed to the rest of the people and arranged for the mouse:

"I'll go back and have a look at it first, and I'll take everyone back to eat when the time is almost up."

The rat nodded, and immediately began to arrange for people to find firewood, and light fires under the two ash kilns, preparing to smelt the soil of the ash kilns for the next work of smelting ore.

Ding Qi turned around to see that there was nothing to explain, and then he skis and skis headed towards the location of the Qing tribe. And the sky above him was overcast, and a snow would fall at any moment.

At this moment, in the Qing tribe, a group of people are chattering around the fox and the raccoon in the middle. After a flurry at first, they slowly calmed down.

At first, when the fox appeared at the entrance of the cave, the whole tribe panicked, especially when the raccoon also appeared, and everyone was so frightened that they screamed and scurried back and forth in the hole. They thought that the dead raccoon had come back to life and came back with the fox that had been dragged away by the beast, which was beyond their comprehension. How can a dead person come back? Unless they turn into legendary demons.

They didn't think it was a god or a miracle, it was something that made them feel terrible, and it could only be attributed to the fact that it was a ghost, and that the dead raccoon dog and fox had turned into ghosts and came to them for revenge, whether it was night or day. Well, why would there be the idea that the other party is here to take revenge? Did you do something sorry for them?

Especially the few clansmen who went out with the raccoon dog were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, screamed indiscriminately, and said words with unknown meaning, and had a feeling of incoherent speech.

Not to mention the leader in the innermost part of the cave, who almost screamed at this point, but his will as a leader told him that he couldn't do it. He walked to the entrance of the cave tremblingly, looked at the two people who were looking at him expressionlessly, swallowed his saliva, stammered and pointed at the two and said:

"You... You... You guys, in the end... In the end... Who is it? ”

He didn't speak, being in the Ding tribe, with an abundant supply of food and manual labor, he looked much stronger than before, and he felt more imposing and oppressive than the leader. He just looked straight at the former leader, without speaking, without even moving his eyes, as if he was really a wronged soul returning from hell and returning to the world to claim the life of his enemy.

Just when the leader of the green tribe almost couldn't withstand the pressure of the fox's momentum, and the two tremors wanted to fall to the ground softly, the fox spoke.

"Chief, the fox is back!"

This sound was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which woke everyone in the Qing tribe, as if the fox that made the noise was not as terrible as before.

Finally a bold man stepped forward and asked:

"Fox, is it really you? Weren't you dragged away and eaten by wild beasts? How did you survive? Also, is there a raccoon dog behind you? Didn't he freeze to death two days ago? ”

As soon as these questions were asked, the people who asked them, including the people behind him, were obviously relieved.

The fox's eyes widened, his anger flashed, and he said slowly:

"Do you think so much that I was eaten by wild beasts? Do you want my brother to freeze to death outside? ”

The person who asked the question quickly waved his hand, indicating that he did not mean that.

"Fox, it's not like this, we all hope you are well, but you also know that you have disappeared for so long, and no one can live alone in this wild beast. And in winter, those who fall in the snow have only one result. And how can you two come back like this without shocking us all? ”

Immediately after, he asked the fox again:

"You came back with the raccoon, did you save the raccoon before? The badgers and the others went out with the raccoon, but the raccoon fell halfway, and the badgers were hungry and cold, and they could not save him, so they could only return to the tribe and let the able-bodied people save him, but when they arrived at the place, they did not see the raccoon, and we thought that he was dragged away and eaten by wild beasts. ”

After hearing the conversation between them, the leader of the green tribe in the back was no longer as shocked as before, thinking that the fox must have encountered something good and was not the lucky one who was not eaten by the beast. Since they are not dead people, then there is nothing to scruple about, they are still people of the Qing tribe, and they have to listen to their own calls.

"Fox, since you and your brother are not dead, then you are still a member of the tribe, then you should give everything for the tribe, now you two go out hunting with the badger and their team, and hunt more beasts, so that everyone can eat enough and have more strength to catch more beasts back."

But the fox is not a bird, after glancing at the other party expressionlessly, there is obviously a trace of impatience on his face, he knows the tribe very well, it seems that he cares about it, but in fact, he wants to find out the details of the two of them through this method, they will not believe that they have any good luck.

And this cruel and cunning leader thinks that he is still the fox before, drinking and dictating to himself, which makes the fox have a funny feeling. No matter what, anyway, he has long lost patience with the tribesmen, and he is ready to come over to kill the leader to take revenge. So he said directly:

"I wasn't dragged away and eaten by wild beasts, I was rescued and survived by a powerful tribal leader, and the raccoon dog was also rescued by this tribal leader, who is now the Aragami of the Great Wilderness!"

As soon as the fox said this, the people who were still a little calm did not calm down again, especially the leader who knew more about the Aragami and the new doctor witch who was hiding behind everyone, they were even more shocked.

It was originally a story to listen to as a joke, but its protagonist appeared, and he also saved two mortal people in his tribe, how to explain this, is all this true in the Great Wilderness? Aragami is here to help the tribes stay away from hunger and cold

Cold God's Messenger?

The leaders and the healer's bodies shook violently, as if they were facing some great fear that could not help themselves, and they could not suppress this fear from within.

They know best the information about Aragami that circulates around, and when most people know that Aragami is a messenger of the gods who save various tribes that can't survive, there is a message hidden behind it. That is, Aragami is not only a messenger of the gods who brings warmth, food, and light, he is also the Aragami who brings killing, blood, and fear.

Aragami and the messenger of the gods seem to be the same thing in everyone's hearts, and among the many small tribes, the arajin and the messenger of the gods are one. The information that can be circulated in the upper echelons of the great tribes shows that these are two different things, two concepts.

Therefore, after hearing the word Aragami, the tribe people thought that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of the current situation of hunger and cold and go to Aragami; The leader and the new doctor felt that their tribe had really done too many bad things, and that the heavens had sent the Aragami over, and the tribe would suffer a baptism of killing and blood, and would be removed from the world of the Great Wilderness.

Just as the leader was thinking about how to solve what was happening in front of him, the fox took two steps forward, stood in front of him, stared straight at the leader and said:

"Leader, I don't know what your next plan is, do you want to take everyone to continue to live this life of hunger and cold and even cannibalism, or do you want to lead everyone to go to Aragami and join his tribe to keep everyone away from hunger and cold?"

The leader felt a little hot at the fox's gaze, and didn't look directly into his eyes. He wanted to look at the other person directly, but after one glance, he immediately flinched, and he felt incredible. As the leader and the power of life and death of all the tribesmen, it is a shameful thing that he should be afraid of his own tribe's subordinates. But this incident happened to me, which made me quite helpless and frustrated.

Just when he wanted to puff up his chest and say a few words, the fox provoked his emotions with a word, and anger was already enveloping his entire heart.

"Chief, you are no longer worthy of sitting in this position, you have lost all the responsibilities and responsibilities that a leader should have, especially after the death of the doctor witch, you have lost your former self-confidence and decisiveness, you have become selfish and suspicious of everything, you have used the rights given to you by your clan to deal with your clansmen, you are no longer qualified as a leader."

"Nonsense, you little, why didn't the beast eat you, but let you come back here and talk nonsense. Guards, blast them both out, and leave it to God the Father and the Great Wilderness to decide their fate! ”

But none of the guards or hunters standing behind him dared to step forward, firstly because they were hungry and weak, and secondly, because their faith or loyalty to the leader began to waver after hearing what the fox said. A leader who can't think about the tribe and the food and clothing of the people in the tribe is definitely not qualified.

The third is that they are ordinary members of the tribe, although they have also eaten people, and even their own tribesmen have been eaten by them, but this is a last resort. They also yearn for the kind of life where they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they have meat for three meals, and now the Aragami who can bring this kind of life has something to do with foxes, why aren't they excited and yearn for this kind of life? And, judging from the fox dress and mental state, he must have been troubled by the glue and no food. The facts were in front of them, so they hesitated.

Just as the other members of the tribe hesitated to step forward, the stone dagger hidden in the fox's right hand slipped out, quickly took a step towards Youyou, and swung his right hand violently, slashing through the leader's throat, spilling out a pool of blood.

And the raccoon standing behind the fox also rushed forward, stabbed the stone dagger in his right hand into his abdomen from between the animal skins that the leader scattered at will, twisted it fiercely and pushed it again, venting the resentment and revenge in his heart freely, facing the blood sprayed by the leader, swallowing a few mouthfuls, heartily.
