Chapter 328: Building a City Wall
“Everyone prepare yourselves, the Pig-headed Men are coming soon.”
“What! The Pig-headed Men are coming!” The Beast-eared Girls were all terrified.
It seems we need to strengthen our defenses in this peaceful land, Ye thought to himself.
The subsequent dinner lacked its usual liveliness. Each Beast-eared Girl ate their first meal in two days silently. Ye watched everyone, feeling a pang in his heart. After wolfing down his food, he stood up and said, “Everyone, don’t worry. We are no longer the tribe we were before. We have grown stronger during this time. If the Pig-headed Men dare to come again, we will fight them back!”
“Yes, this time we definitely won’t let them bully us again!”
“That’s right, we already have so many awakened talents among us.”
“Ye is right. So what if they come? Ye can definitely lead us to defeat the Pig-headed Men!”
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls began to discuss excitedly. The atmosphere around the bonfire was finally no longer so somber.
Ye looked at these Beast-eared Girls. They were the closest people to him during his time here. This time, he would teach the Pig-headed Men a lesson, and let other tribes know that the Beast-eared Girls were not to be trifled with!
“Yes, we already have several awakened talents. In this battle, we must protect Ye well and not let people from other tribes discover Ye’s abilities!” Sakura said, looking at Ye.
“Yes, we must protect Ye’s safety and not let people from other tribes discover Ye’s abilities,” the other Beast-eared Girls said excitedly!
Ye looked at these Beast-eared Girls, truly moved beyond words!
That night, as everyone fell asleep, they were all thinking about how to resist this attack from the Pig-headed Men. No one had the mood for their usual nightly competition for the spot beside Ye.
Ye was also thinking about how to build some defensive structures to resist the Pig-headed Men’s attack. The current wooden house would definitely not withstand their onslaught. This time, he had to build a city wall that could resist them!
Yes, a city wall.
The next day.
“Yes, we must build a city wall!”
“Ye, what is a city wall?”
“It’s a tall wall made of stones to keep the Pig-headed Men out, preventing them from getting close to our wooden house. Then, we can place some weapons on the wall to deal with the Pig-headed Men.”
“My goodness, Ye, you’re really so smart!”
“Yes, Ye, how do we do it?”
Looking at the Beast-eared Girls surrounding him, he felt that this was his mission here!
“How about this: the stronger Beast-eared Girls will get some big stones from the mountain, the weaker Beast-eared Girls will go chop down some big trees, and the rest will collect some clay.”
“Ye, what are the stones for?”
“Ye, what are the trees for?”
“Ye, what is the clay for?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Beast-eared Girls kept asking what they were for.
“Listen to Ye! Let’s do as Ye says. I trust Ye anyway.” Sakura saw everyone constantly talking to Ye, and Ye was getting annoyed by all their questions.
“Yes, listen to Ye, we trust Ye.”
“Yes, listen to Ye.”
After hearing Sakura’s words, everyone agreed.
Next, they all got busy arranging personnel.
Other Beast-eared Girls laughed when they saw what Sakura looked like. Sakura, Xing, and other awakened Beast-eared Girls led the strong Beast-eared Girls in the tribe to get some stones from the mountain, while the other Beast-eared Girls went to find big trees. A group of them arrived at the mountain and saw vast expanses of stones, exclaiming, “It really came without any effort.”
“Ye, what are you saying?” Sakura asked, tilting her head full of doubt upon hearing Ye’s words.
“Hahahaha, it means you can eat breakfast today.”
“That’s great!” Sakura jumped up happily upon hearing about food. “Hahahaha…”
After that, the Beast-eared Girls began to move.
“Let’s move the big ones first, the long ones, so it’s convenient for us to build the wall. If one person can’t lift it, lift it together. Don’t push yourselves too hard,” Ye said as he walked.
“Okay!” The Beast-eared Girls answered upon hearing Ye’s words. “Xing, let’s lift it together.”
“No need, I can do it alone.” Xing lifted the large stone above her head and steadily walked down the mountain. “Wow, Xing is really amazing!”
“Look, Xing is carrying such a big stone down by herself.” As soon as Xing walked away, a group of people behind her marveled at her strength.
“I wonder what my talent is. I really want to awaken it soon so I can help the tribe and help Ye.” … Seeking flower.
“Me too.”
“Everyone, don’t think too much about it. Our main priority now is to resist the attack of the Pig-headed Men. After this is over, we believe Ye will be able to awaken all our talents, right!”
“Yes, let’s move stones to build the city wall first!”
Upon hearing Sakura’s words, one by one, the Beast-eared Girls started to act, gathering in twos and threes in front of the stones and moving them.
Ye looked at Sakura and listened to her words, his heart filled with emotion.
Yes, if all the Beast-eared Girls could awaken their talents, they wouldn’t have to constantly worry about attacks from other tribes.
Thinking about the plan to awaken the Beast-eared Girls, Ye also lifted a large stone and walked down.
Returning to the tribe, he saw that Xing had already put down the stone in her hand and turned to go back up the mountain.
“Go lead the others to move stones. I’ll stack them up down here,” Ye said when he saw Xing going up.
“Mhm, Ye, don’t work too hard. We can carry them down. You can just direct us,” Xing said, her heart aching when she saw Ye also carrying such a big stone.
“What’s there to it? Xing, don’t you believe in my abilities?” Seeing Xing’s concern for him, Ye couldn’t help but tease her. “Ye, I know you’re that capable. I just don’t want you to work so hard.”
Seeing Xing’s thoughtfulness, he said warmly, “It’s okay, Xing. You know my stamina.”
Hearing this, Xing blushed instantly and hesitated to speak. Lin Ye only realized after a moment, “Hahahaha, Xing, what were you thinking about?”
“You said it yourself, and you’re blaming me for thinking too much,” Xing said, burying her head in embarrassment and chiding him.
“Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore.” Xing turned away in embarrassment, looking at Lin Ye’s teasing expression, and went back up the mountain. “Hahahaha…”
Seeing Xing’s shy demeanor, Lin Ye couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Not far away, most of the Beast-eared Girls were also carrying stones down the mountain. Seeing Ye laughing so happily, they asked, “What are you laughing at? You’re so happy!”
“No, it’s nothing,” Lin Ye said, looking at Xing, who was still on the mountain path, and just smiled without speaking.
Seeing that the Beast-eared Girls had brought all the stones down the mountain, Lin Ye asked them to place them twenty meters away from the wooden house and then go carry some more.
