Chapter 123: Tofu Cutting Competition?

Originally, she also planned to make a large cave first, and then use a curtain to open it after raising it together. But come to think of it, it's better to do it the first time. After all, for orcs, it may still be convenient to make bamboo curtains and dig holes. In addition, leaving the surrounding wall can also add some load-bearing.

Living in a cave that had been almost hollowed out, she always felt a little oozing.

"So what's next?" Ellen

"We laid out the cocoons one by one. Don't pile it up. Zhong Xuyao poured a few cocoons on the bamboo sieve. Easily drive a few stacked ones to the sides.

Several other people also learned and put the cocoons away.

"Then we're busy. When the cocoon matures, the silkworm moth will bite through the cocoon and emerge. If there is a male or female, they form a mate. It will lay eggs, and we have to collect eggs from a similar time. It's so easy to raise ......," Zhong Xuyao introduced the detailed process to them.

This knowledge was all learned when she used to raise silkworms at home and play. I'm not sure if it's 100% the same as here, but from what happened before, there won't be much difference.

This time, the orcs didn't bring back many cocoons, only about five hundred. The main body is all No. 2 silkworms.

It didn't take long for her to get the cocoon ready.

When they walked out of the cave together, they saw that on the other side, the orcs had begun to dig a hole. The dust in the sky made Zhong Xuyao frown a little, "Yixiu, make a fence gate, wrap it in animal skins and cover the hole." ”

"Okay, no problem." Ishu flew out of the cave without thinking.

Zhong Xuyao has some black lines, and he has to let her go if he leaves. Although the cave was only two meters above the ground, she was not sure that she could jump intact.

"Bout, take Xiao Xiao down." Bernie was also a little speechless. Ixiu was running too fast.

"Hmm." Bu nodded and helped Zhong Xuyao jump down from the entrance of the cave.

"I think it's good to make a staircase here. In this way, we can walk ourselves. "Bernie

"Actually, it's okay to dig a path along the edge of the hole." Zhong Xuyao's finger scratched the wall in front of the cave.

"Anyway, these questions are good for the orcs to worry about." Millie

As he spoke, Ishu came with a fence made of bamboo, and he fastened the fence door to the hole, and then took some bamboo and put it on the back, and then pressed the door down.

At this time, a pile of stones was dug out at the entrance of the cave on the opposite side, and an orc stood in front of the cave, with a fierce expression, and four straight energy sword qi flew out and submerged into the rock, forming a square cut mark.

The cut sank deep into the rock, causing the surrounding orcs to cheer excitedly.

"What are they doing?" Zhong Xuyao said strangely.

"They're competing to see who can send out the energy that goes deeper into the rock formations." Ishi

"yes, why do I think you're doing a tofu cutting contest?" Zhong Xuyao

Those rocks seemed to have no resistance in the eyes of the orcs.

"If we don't have an energy blade, it's hard for us to cut it with our claws." Ishi

"Oh. How many meters can the most powerful one cut into? "Zhong Xuyao

"About ten meters. The specific measures have not been measured. "Ixiu

"But, at this rate, wouldn't it be quick to cut a room out?" Zhong Xuyao

Flying out of the four-sided blade, you can cut out a square, or ten meters. With such ability, digging a four-hundred-meter-long passage will not take much effort at all.

"The main thing is that it's more cumbersome to move the rocks out. However, now that there are tools, it's much faster. "Ixiu

Zhong Xuyao rolled his eyes, "Yi Xiu, those more complex runes on my desk can double the space. ”

"Xiaoxiao, those talismans are still too precious." Yi Xiu didn't agree with Zhong Xuyao's proposal, he had seen her draw talismans, because she had failed too much, and that kind of irritable appearance often made him want to talk to her and tell her not to practice. He knew better than anyone how precious those few runes were.

"Uh...... So, you bring those bamboo frames, and I'll draw a level 0 talisman on them. Zhong Xuyao proposed: "I can draw the level 0 charm on the bamboo frame." ”

"Okay, I'll get it." Ishi

The other four orcs glanced at each other and stepped forward to get the bamboo frame that was placed aside.

Because the giant bamboo frames were taken away by Vernal, all the ones left behind are medium bamboo frames.

The medium bamboo frame is not small for Zhong Xuyao. The bamboo is made of support, and it is easy to draw runes on it.

The silver thread was submerged in the bamboo frame, which successfully expanded the bamboo frame by half.

Bernie leaned on a large bamboo frame, "Xiaoxiao, can you draw this kind of talisman in a cave?" ”

Zhong Xuyao took the action of the bamboo frame, "Painted in a cave?" Why? ”

"If you draw on a bamboo frame, you can increase the space by half, but if you draw it in a cave, won't you increase the space of the cave by half?" Bernie

"That's right, but the expanded space can only hold dead things, and people will have an accident if they go in." Zhong Xuyao touched his chin, Bernie's proposal was not really impossible.

Painted in a cave, it is completely possible to use the cave as a large warehouse, such as grain, meat, and cocoons, all of which can be placed in it. In the case of vacuum, the storage time will be much longer.

"Is that okay?" Millie

"Not really, when the time comes, we can make a cellar from top to bottom. After drawing the sigils, we can hide things inside. When you want to take it, you can use a hook to hook it out. "Zhong Xuyao

"Cellar? Is it also a cave?" Bernie

"It's the hole down, of course, there are T-shaped ones, and some places used to keep food like this." Zhong Xuyao continued the movement in his hand.

"You're so good, you have so many ways." Millie

"We don't have a lot of resources. Plants grow slowly, so it's natural to think about how to preserve food. Otherwise, they will all starve to death. "Zhong Xuyao

Several other people nodded with deep understanding, they have to experience the matter of hunger almost once a year, and every time it is unforgettable. They really don't want to go through it again.

Zhong Xuyao's movements were very fast, and after a while, more than a dozen bamboo frames on the scene were painted with runes.

After each drawing, an orc would come and remove the bamboo frame, which would be used to carry the soil and rocks of the cave.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, the group of ten people returned to the empty corridor again.

Bernie and the others still weave, Ishu and Bout cook, and Nishizawa and Dean peel the ramie......

Gradually, the smell of food wafted from the empty corridor.

Zhong Xuyao carefully sketched the runes, and when the last node was connected to the first stroke, Zhong Xuyao's expression finally relaxed. A familiar chime sounded in my ears.

Just as she was quietly recovering in the joy of success, there was a noise in her ears.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a woman pointing at an orc's nose and scolding.
