Chapter 253: ‘Primitive Society Sexual Death!’
Lin Ye was flown up by Mingyun and three other Winged Girls.
Upon arrival, he saw Shi looking confused.
His face was filled with an embarrassed expression.
Lin Ye chuckled and shook his head.
He thought to himself.
Could this be considered ‘Primitive Society Sexual Death!’ However, it seemed that the other Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls didn’t take it to heart.
Shi quickly recovered.
Everyone found a clean spot.
They sat on the ground to rest.
They chatted about how many iron ore they had just dug up.
Who dug the biggest, who dug the most.
Lin Ye lay on Ganyu’s lap.
Sakura, Diona, Setsuna, and Ling sat in a circle in front of Lin Ye.
They helped each other pick out the sand particles that had splashed into their hair.
After resting for a while like this.
Everyone began to load the iron ore into the wooden buckets on the carriage and the horses’ backs.
This iron ore was much heavier than stones.
Even with just two wooden buckets per wild horse, it was clear that the wild horses were struggling a bit.
They didn’t dare to put too much on the carriage, otherwise, the unicorn alone wouldn’t be able to pull it.
After they had loaded it up, almost done.
The Winged Girls each took two pieces in their hands.
The Beast-eared Girls followed the carriage on their wild horses towards the tribe, carrying the iron ore.
The ruts left by the carriage wheels had become much deeper.
The wild horses’ steps had become heavy.
Their speed was much slower than when they had arrived.
However, the journey forward was going smoothly.
They returned to the tribe safely and soundly.
Everyone went directly to the furnace.
Lin Ye directed the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls to dump all the iron ore on the ground next to the furnace.
Standing there, he mentally reviewed the iron smelting process once more.
After ensuring everything was perfectly prepared.
Lin Ye turned to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls and said, “Start pouring charcoal into the furnace, start the fire, and smelt iron!”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the breathing of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls became heavy.
They immediately began to act with eagerness.
Barrel after barrel of charcoal was poured continuously into the furnace.
They stopped only when the charcoal was almost as high as the platform inside the furnace.
Next, they took the containers fired yesterday, placed a few pieces of iron ore inside, and put them into the furnace.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls saw the iron ore being put into the furnace.
Their eyes all gleamed with excitement.
Soon, Shi came over with a long burning piece of charcoal.
Lin Ye quickly took it and inserted it into the small opening at the bottom of the furnace.
Then, Lin Ye immediately began to work the bellows.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls saw that the fire had been lit.
They all curiously crowded over.
Stretching their necks, they peered into the furnace.
As a result, as Lin Ye continuously pumped the bellows.
Suddenly, a puff of thick smoke rose from inside the furnace.
It sprayed directly onto the faces of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls who were stretching their necks to look into the furnace. “Cough, cough, cough!!!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough~!!!”
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were all choked and coughed violently.
Lin Ye, meanwhile, continued to work the bellows.
After the smoke had billowed for a while.
There was a sudden “BANG!” from inside the furnace.
Flames immediately erupted.
And as Lin Ye worked the bellows, the fire grew stronger and stronger.
Seeing the flames rise, Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, who had stopped coughing.
He saw that all of them had become smudged with soot.
A smile appeared on Lin Ye’s face.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls rubbed their eyes, which were stinging from the smoke.
Sakura, after finally opening her eyes.
Seeing that everyone else’s faces had become smudged with soot.
She immediately laughed happily.
But she quickly realized that others were also laughing when they saw her.
At this point, Sakura realized something was wrong.
She reached out and wiped her face.
She found that her hands also came away with black soot, the same as on everyone else’s faces.
At this moment, all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls opened their eyes.
Looking at the appearance of the people around them.
They all started laughing as well.
Lin Ye watched this scene.
The smile on his face grew even brighter.
His hands didn’t stop, and he called out to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, “Hurry and wash your faces, otherwise it will be uncomfortable if you get it in your eyes.” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls heard Lin Ye’s voice.
They turned to look, their smiles not yet faded.
After a moment of surprise, they all ran towards the water pipe.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, continuously working the bellows.
The furnace inside kept making “RUMBLE! RUMBLE!” sounds.
The flames burned more than half a meter high out of the hole at the top of the furnace.
Because the top of the furnace was inwardly contracted.
So when the flames gushed out of the opening at the top of the furnace.
They were compressed once more.
Compression generated heat, thus increasing the temperature inside the furnace.
And with so much charcoal filling the furnace.
There was no need to worry about fuel.
Lin Ye just needed to keep working the bellows.
After a while, the Beast-eared Girls returned after washing their faces.
They saw the flames gushing out from the top of the furnace from afar. “Wow!”
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all exclaimed in amazement.
Then, one by one, they quickened their pace and ran over.
As they got slightly closer, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls felt a wave of heat wash over them.
The water droplets left on their faces from washing them quickly disappeared, completely dried by the heat.
Lin Ye’s hair was now starting to smell a little scorched from the high temperature.
Lin Ye kept an eye on the time.
One smelting process would take about three hours of continuous smelting.
It would take tens of minutes to reach the highest temperature, and then the remaining time to melt the iron ore.
Half the time had already passed.
So Lin Ye’s movements had not stopped.
When Lin Ye saw that the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had all returned.
He called out to Xing.
“Xing, take over for me for a while, I need to go out.”
Xing heard Lin Ye’s words from among the crowd and turned to look at him.
After a slight pause.
She quickly walked towards Lin Ye.
As Xing approached the furnace.
Her hair immediately began to curl from the heat.
Lin Ye handed her the bellows and shouted loudly, “You take over for me for a while, I’ll be back immediately!” Because the furnace was constantly roaring.
Lin Ye could only shout into Xing’s ear for her to hear him.
Xing nodded after hearing him.
She mouthed “Okay.”
Lin Ye nodded and quickly retreated from behind.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all looked at Lin Ye with confusion.
But Lin Ye didn’t have time to pay attention to them.
He flipped his hand and took out the axe from his Storage Space.
He ran directly into the forest.
Seeing Lin Ye’s anxious demeanor, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls.
They also became nervous.
They stood there looking at each other, but didn’t know what to do.
Xing stood by the furnace, the intense heat continuously hitting her.
Her long hair was being blown wildly by the wind.
But she gritted her teeth and continued to work the bellows.
The other Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls didn’t know what had happened.
Lin Ye’s anxious state just now had left them a little flustered.
However, after a short while, Lin Ye returned carrying a small tree as thick as his wrist.
Although this small tree was only as thick as his wrist, it was very long, a full ten meters.
Lin Ye carried this small tree.
He went to another set of bellows next to the Brick Kiln.
He quickly chopped off some of the branches and leaves from the front of the small tree with his axe.
Then he took out a chisel and carved a small hole at the root of the small tree.
Then he tapped the handle of the bellows with an axe a few times.
He pried open the Mortise and Tenon Joint and removed the short wooden stick connecting the two wooden rods at the top and bottom of the bellows handle.
Then Lin Ye inserted the wooden stick into the small hole he had just carved in the trunk.
He inserted the short wooden stick halfway, so that the small tree was threaded onto that short wooden stick.
Then he reattached the short wooden stick to the bellows.
Lin Ye’s movements were very fast.
He completed this series of tasks in a very short time.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls saw Lin Ye’s hands moving like blurs.
Then they saw Lin Ye carrying the bellows and running back again.
