This kiln can fire nearly a thousand bricks in total, and the intact ones are about seven or eight hundred, according to the speed of one kiln in five days, if you want to make enough for the two tribes to use, this speed is far from enough.

After cleaning out all the bricks, Wang Lang asked a few people to put the remaining brick embryos into the continued firing, with this successful experience, it proved that this method of burning bricks is completely usable, and next, he plans to continue to build two new brick kilns to speed up the speed of burning bricks.

The return of Kong Er's cavalry temporarily relieved the pressure of the tribe's lack of manpower, on the one hand, it was necessary to build dikes and burn bricks, and Wang Lang was very busy.

Arrange for people who are familiar with making brick kilns to continue to build brick kilns, while Wang Lang took Kong Er and others to the river with tools to build a dam.

This river is not a big river, the depth of the water is only about one and a half meters, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of building a dam, although the grassland lacks stones, but fortunately there is enough wood here, which can barely make up for this shortcoming.

Now it is a busy scene in the tribe and on the bank of the river, like a busy construction site.

The excavated earth on the banks of the river has been piled up, and more than a dozen pits have been dug to bury the wooden piles.

The construction of the embankment only needs to build one side, the west bank of the river is deserted, and if there is a flood, it will not be affected, as long as the east bank is not flooded by the river.

At present, only a dozen acres of grain are planted here, and the embankment built does not need to be too long, and Wang Lang estimates that building a kilometer or so should be able to avoid the harm of flooding.

However, this kilometer is not a short time to complete, and with the existing manpower, it will take at least a little more than a month to build the embankment.

Food is everyone's life, and everyone who knows what they are busy with is working hard and sweating like rain.

Just as Wang Lang and the others were busy by the river, a huge figure in the river quietly swam towards the crowd, and no one noticed that the danger was approaching them step by step.

The monster swam on the surface of the water for a long time, and finally chose a target.

"Whoa!" With a bang, the monster's massive head emerged from the water and swooped down on its prey.

The soldier heard a voice behind him, turned around and looked, and was immediately frightened, and his brain was blank and he couldn't react at all.

At this moment, an object flew from the side and headed straight for the water monster's head.

There was a muffled sound, and the unknown object smashed right on the head of the water monster, and the water monster let out a miserable scream, and its head was off guard and missed this hunting opportunity.

The soldier took advantage of this opportunity to react and quickly fled from the monster's side.

"Everyone, mind it!" Wang Lang roared.

Wang Lang, who was ordering a wooden stake just now, happened to see the scene of the water monster coming out, and in a hurry, he threw out an axe to save the soldier.

The soldiers who escaped saw that it was Wang Lang who saved them, and looked at Wang Lang with gratitude.

Wang Lang nodded at him slightly, and said, "Everyone take your weapons and kill this thing." ”

In the river, where there had never been any large creatures, there was a sudden appearance of such a thing, and at first they were a little surprised, and then everyone became very angry, their territory was invaded by an unknown beast, and they almost lost a companion, and the angry people took up arms and attacked this thing wildly.

The archer picked up the longbow and shot frantically at the monster, so far that before the monster could run back into the water, it was shot like a hedgehog, staggering back into the water to escape.

Angry people could not let this thing return to the water and threaten their own personal safety, and after the archer had finished shooting a round of bows and arrows, he threw his bow and arrows to the ground, and Ma Zhe's shovel and axe howled and rushed forward.

The water monster that came ashore was not as agile as in the water, and was seriously injured, and was quickly hacked to death by people with axes.

After killing the monster, Wang Lang stepped forward and kicked it with his foot, and only after confirming that the guy was completely dead did he take a closer look at the unknown creature.

This thing looks very much like a crocodile, but there are no scales on its body, and its skin looks very much like the kind of large baby fish that he picked up in the swamp before, but with its long mouth and sharp teeth, Wang Lang is sure that it is not the same species as the previous thing.

This thing is nearly three meters long, its short limbs have been cut off in the madness just now, its round belly has been cut through several large openings, its internal organs are mixed with blood, and there is a fishy smell in the air.

"What is this, how have I never seen it before." Kong Er kicked the monster's head and said.

Wang Lang looked at this monster, thought for a while and said: "This thing should have only recently come here, and it shouldn't have come from upstream, there is a grassland, and the river is full of low weeds, it is not easy for this thing to catch prey in such a place, I guess this monster should come from that lake or forest." ”

"With such a monster in the water, won't this river be dangerous in the future?" A soldier said worriedly.

The lake is too lush with aquatic plants, although the tribe has lived here for so long, but generally rarely goes there, the shade of the trees is reflected on the surface of the lake, it seems that the lake is dark, it is very dangerous to look at, originally Wang Lang felt that avoiding there as much as possible can reduce the danger, but he didn't expect that something still came from there.

"Everyone should be careful in the future, especially when you come here to get water, you must not come alone." Wang Lang admonished.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, if there are such monsters in the river, it is difficult to guarantee that they are absolutely safe, in this area, the fierce beasts on the shore are not killed by them, but the monsters in the water are powerless.

"Pack this thing up and take it back tonight to taste what it tastes like." Wang Lang said lightly.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this, in this tribe, as long as any wild beast dares to move on land, as long as it dares to provoke itself, it will eventually become its own food.

The soldier who was attacked, slashing his axe vigorously, learned Wang Lang's mantra, and cursed fiercely: "Dog, if you still want to eat me, tonight I will eat you clean, turn it into dung, pull it out, pour it in the ground, grow food and eat you again, and let you be shit all the time." ”

The soldier next to him saw this guy gritting his teeth and glaring angrily, and subconsciously kept a distance from him, not knowing how much this guy was stimulated.

After skinning the monster and chopping it into pieces, the meat was thrown into a basket, and two men carried a rattan basket back to the tribe.
