Chapter 21: Successes and Failures

For the rest of the day, Blade Tooth spent most of his time preparing and handling meat, in addition to his daily meditation routine.

Among them, the former has made great progress, and in more than ten attempts, it has successfully found the soil with just the right thermal conductivity and heat resistance after the finished product.

After that, he immediately took the results to the witch doctor and the chieftain to show the flavor of boiled meat.

The 'decision-making layers' who tasted boiled meat, which tasted better than raw meat, decisively made the decision to reserve a 'large-scale' reserve and be named 'clay' by Blade Tooth.

The young trolls were also taught the 'crafts' of making fires, building furnaces, and 'making pottery', and although the 'making' of flames could only be carried out by spells, they also figured out how to preserve 'fire', which greatly reduced their dependence on witch doctors.

So, Blade Tooth decisively withdrew, intending to focus on other aspects.

It is worth mentioning that although it is 'pottery', it is something in quotation marks, and he is not quite sure whether it is 'pottery' or 'tile' or something else.

But since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to be too entangled, and the name 'Tao' is simply taken.

As for the future development of "pottery", let it be left to the power of time.

In addition to 'pottery', another study that was carried out at the same time did not go so well.

He tried smoking, roasting, air-drying and other processes in turn, and the raw materials were also tried from small pieces to whole;

The hairy, hairless, skinned, and skinned ones have all been studied;

The storage environment has also been ventilated in the open air, ventilated underground, confined underground and so on;

But no matter how much you toss, the result did not defeat the moist rot of the Black Forest ....

"Blade Fang, forget it, stop tossing."

When inspecting one of the basements, the Chinese witch doctor who was blocked by the stench at the entrance and exit, covering his nose, persuaded him bitterly....

And looking at the scene inside, Blade Fang also felt helpless.

"It's okay, if you can't save it, you can't save it...."The Chinese witch doctor comforted.

"Alas, how can this be so .... Is there really no case of wild beasts licking stones and eating dirt? ”

Blade Tooth, who still wanted to struggle for another wave, asked a little unwillingly.

"At least there are no records of it in the tribe, and the warriors have not observed it..... Moreover, the 'livestock' experiment you mentioned is already underway, so there are always several kinds of 'animals' that can find a suitable one, so don't keep thinking about it. ”

The answer was indistinguishable from the previous question, which made Bladetooth a little discouraged...

The previous 'omnipotence' was a coincidence after all... Or maybe that's it? ’

The thought of giving up grows, making Blade Tooth very uncomfortable.

Although in his previous life, compromising with reality was a common life experience for him... But I've never experienced it in my life....

"Wait.... Let me think...," he responded.

The Chinese witch doctor admired his persistence and helplessness at the same time, sighed and said,

"Alright, let's clean up here first, then have a good rest for a day, and think about the rest tomorrow."

Cleaning up their minds, the two of them stepped into the basement and began to deal with the endgame.

"Mana transformation, fire element preparation; starting position, three centimeters in front of the palm; Over-spec shaping, full wide-angle front, 3 times the speed of jet preparation; Super Gathering Ring, the target flame core warms up by 30%, and the delay is 100% ready ......."*2

In a poetic rhythmic tone, chant incantations to aid autosuggestion and confuse nature....

This is a 'cross-ring spell' that relies on the accumulation of 'rune components'.

Drawbacks such as the long duration of the spell, the need for a high level of concentration during the preparation period, and the ability to cast spells at very close proximity make it unusable for combat.

But the charm of magic does not lie in violence, but in the 'small and big' approach to nature.

And in this regard, the spells used at the moment are good enough.

As the two trolls heated up the basement with a supercharged 'super firethrow', a hot wind rose from an unknown place and immediately drowned their figures, rushing out of the entrance.

After a 'bath', Bladetooth's mentality gradually adjusted.

At this time, the spell had been formed, and the need for concentration during the maintenance period was relatively low, so he only set aside a part of his mental energy to maintain the eruption of the flames, and spoke out again,

"How's the rally plan? I haven't paid much attention to it during this time, is it still going well? ”

Between the opening and closing of the lips, the hot air and steam pouring into the mouth seemed to be a 'high temperature' in quotation marks for the trolls.

The 'mucosal touch' is a little warmer than the skin's touch, and it doesn't hurt in the slightest.

"It's a bit of a hassle, the trail of the blade-toothed beast is not easy to find, those guys are too alert."

"Ah, that's a nuisance... If the blade-toothed beasts are not found, it will be difficult for the chieftain to start stockpiling food, right? Otherwise, it will stink by then... Damn. ”

"Why are you talking around here again, you can't think of anything else?" The Chinese witch doctor complained.

"Uh... Not intentionally... But doesn't this also mean that 'food storage' is already a big problem that cannot be avoided.... I always feel that this is a huge threshold for the progress of 'civilization', and once it is bypassed, there will definitely be huge benefits beyond our imagination. ”

"That's why you say be patient, you can't always expect to solve everything in your own generation, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"It's incredible to be able to do this way.... Look at the words we use and the flame in our hands..... You're already amazing. ”

"Yes, yes."

"What a stubborn guy!"

The perfunctory answer made the Chinese witch doctor snort angrily.

During the conversation, the space gradually became dry, the rancid smell had almost dissipated, and the pieces of meat had basically carbonized.

Stopping the spell, the Chinese witch doctor reached out to feel the texture of the soil, sniffed the smell again, and felt that there was no problem, so he said

"Alright, tell the cubs to move out and throw them away..."

Blade Fang nodded and stopped maintaining his spell.

The two turned and walked towards the exit.

As he went, the Chinese witch doctor looked at his palms thoughtfully.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking? Blade Tooth, who was in a better mood, asked curiously.

"You say, are we really controlling the so-called 'fire elemental'? There are other spells as well, 'Water Elemental', 'Wood Elemental', etc...."

"Well, why do you think so?"

"This one, to be honest, I don't know, it's just intuition.... On the one hand, I think it's true, after all, fire and water do appear, and the existence of 'water and fire elements' seems to be taken for granted, but at the same time, another voice tells me that 'fire elements and other things are nonsense'..."

Bladetooth also fell into deep thought when he heard the witch doctor's doubts.

This world, in terms of physical characteristics, is paradoxical to the previous life, and a person like him who has been in two lives is actually more likely to fall into such confusion.

Without waiting for an answer, the Chinese witch doctor continued to say to himself,

"Look at those pieces of meat just now, don't they look like burnt wood? It's black, layer by layer, why is that? Meat is also made of wood elements, right? Then we usually eat wood.... Haha, if the wood is really edible, it will be very convenient. ”

“em... Actually, it's not that it can't be explained.... What if wood is not the same as plants? And what if all the 'complex structures', including us trolls, are made up of multiple 'elements'? If this is the case, is it possible to explain the similarity of the burned residues? ”

"Sounds reasonable.... However, if you say that, I think that the black stuff left over from burning seems to have more characteristics of an element from the point of view of forming a complex structure, compared to the existence of fire, water, wood, and wind. ”
