Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 355 The Stone Houses of the Great Tribe
Wu Yue took the bamboo jar handed to her by the witch and opened it with some doubt.

Inside the sturdy bamboo jar, a yellow ant was crawling around.

"Is that an ant?"

The witch looked at her with some surprise: "You know about this kind of insect?"

Wu Yue nodded: "I've seen them in the tribe before, but they were black. This is the first time I've seen yellow ones."

The shaman nodded: "There are many of these black insects in the forest, so it's not strange. But these yellow ones are much rarer; they can only be found on some mountains."

Any mountain where this insect is found is unsuitable for digging caves.

They will devour the surrounding soil, turning the entire mountain into their lair.

Wu Yue suddenly remembered the things she had crushed a few days ago: "Were these ant larvae yellow particles before they hatched?"

The shaman shook his head: "I don't know either."

Wu Yue then recounted how Yuan Lang and she had both discovered the yellow particles a few days prior.

After listening, Wu sighed, "What a pity, so much of this mountain has already been eaten away, and we will have to find a new place to stay."

Looking at the collapsed cave, Wu Yue said, "Witch, what happened today is not a bad thing."

Half of the mountain has already been eaten away, and the ants' target will soon be the large cave where we used to live.

"It's better for the collapse to be discovered now than for the entire cave to collapse."

Upon hearing this, the shaman shuddered, a wave of fear washing over him: "Yes, what if the large cave had collapsed?"

They simply couldn't bear to think about such an outcome.

Although they felt a little comforted, the matter of finding a new base still made the big shots frown with worry.

"Witch, how about we consider building the kind of house that will be completed by next month?"

Yuan Lang's voice suddenly rang out from the side. The orc warriors who had just rescued the people gathered around and were taken aback when they heard this.

"Yuan Lang, do you want to build a stone house?"

The shaman looked at the orc and said.

Stone houses?

This was also the first time Wu Yue had heard the name of a building other than the house she had built before.

What she didn't know was that, to the Snow Tiger Witch and those who had seen the stone houses, the one she had built underground was nothing more than a thatched hut, and could not compare to the large stone houses built by the tribes outside with huge stones.

Moreover, those stone houses represented high status and position, and only shamans and tribal chiefs of noble status could live in them. Even among orc warriors, only a very few who were extremely wealthy could build such large stone houses.

Yuan Lang nodded: "Although the foot of the mountain is close to the forest, we need to migrate during the rainy season. If we can build houses that are even stronger than stone houses, we won't need to find a place to stay anymore."

“Yuan Lang, the stone houses can’t be built just like that. Those stones, which are the same size as the orc warriors, need to be polished piece by piece by the orc warriors and brought back.”

Even if our orc warriors don't hunt to build stone houses, they might not be able to build that many before winter. What will happen to the rest of our people?

The surrounding beastmen all nodded in agreement.

However, only May, Teng Qian, and Teng Kun knew that the stone houses Yuan Lang mentioned were not the kind of houses built of polished stones that the orc warriors understood.
But they can't say it.

After a moment of contemplation, May looked at the shaman and the chieftain: "Shaman, chieftain, Yuan Lang and I and a few others are trying to build a stone house. Could you send a small squad of orc warriors to find a new settlement?"

If we can't build our stone houses, we can simply relocate to a new base without wasting any time.

After a moment of contemplation, the shaman nodded: "That's fine, but I can't distribute it to many people because there are still many tribesmen waiting for food to fill their stomachs."

Wu Yue nodded: "Okay."

Upon exiting the cave, the four orcs looked at each other in bewilderment, and then the three orc warriors all turned to look at Wu Yue, who was walking at the back.

Stared at by a tall orc warrior, Wu Yue took two steps back in fear: "What are you doing? You've changed your mind?"

Having said that, she puffed out her flat chest, which wasn't even as developed as an orc's pectoral muscles, and said, "We already made an agreement in front of the shaman and the chieftain, so you can't just back out now."

The three orcs exchanged a glance, naturally understanding the meaning behind the little female's words.

Yuan Lang frowned: "I have never built a house."

He's good at setting up a tent, but building a house... well, even generals aren't omnipotent!
Teng Qian and Teng Kun chuckled dryly and shrugged: "We've never built anything, we just helped out the men in the village when we were kids."

Most importantly, there are no bricks or adhesives available right now, so we can't just stack them up piece by piece, or they'll definitely collapse!

Wu Yue looked at them with a disillusioned expression: "If you didn't know how to build a house, why did you say those things in the cave just now?"

Yuan Lang coughed lightly, looking rather aggrieved, and said, "Didn't you build those underground houses before?"

Wu Yue: "."

I used to build a wall with mud on top of a big pit back then. Do you expect me to do the same now?
"They just dig a hole underground and that's it. How would I, on the surface, know?"

For a moment, all four of them were dumbfounded.

"Then how?"

"I know what to do?"

"Do whatever you need to do!"

Wu Yue sighed inwardly. Was she going to have to ask the system for help again?
"Ding~ Main quest issued: Please successfully build a sturdy and durable house and promote it throughout the Snow Tiger Tribe."

Mission deadline: Before winter.

Reward: 1 bag of cotton seeds

Points: 500
Note: Other outstanding performances will be rewarded at the discretion of the authorities.

"Please keep up the good work, host, and achieve even greater success!"

Wu Yue: "."

She doesn't even know how to build a house, yet she expects it to be sturdy and durable. She's having such a hard time.

"Host, the rewards for this mission are unprecedentedly generous; we must complete it!"

"You make it sound so easy, but how am I supposed to complete it? Do you want me to spend points to buy it again?" After saying that, he looked at Tongzi with the eyes of a miserly hoarder.

The system is in a state of stagnation. Am I the kind of system that only exploits its host?
Wu Yue: You are!
Looking at Wu Yue's determined eyes, Tongzi snorted disdainfully, "I had some good news to tell you, but since you don't believe me, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up: "We're inseparable friends, how could I not believe you? Just kidding."

With that, he smiled broadly, hugged the blue chubby creature from his backpack, and waved to the three orc warriors who looked somewhat worried: "I'm going back to think of a solution first. I'll come back to you when I figure it out."

Having said that, he dashed off in a flash.

Yuan Lang sighed and stepped forward: "The cave has collapsed. Let me take you to set up a tent."

Wu Yue scratched her head somewhat awkwardly. She had been so focused on Tongzi's brilliant idea that she had completely forgotten that they had nowhere to go.

Seeing the little female's somewhat embarrassed expression, Yuan Lang's lips curled slightly: "Don't worry, I've set up many tents before."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a loud voice from ahead: "Yue, I've already set up your tent for you, come back and get some sleep!"

Yuan Lang: "."

These days, orcs and the like are no longer an obstacle; it's these clueless little females who always ruin things.

Wu Yue was so eager to hear the good news from Tongzi that she didn't notice the displeased look in the eyes of the orc warrior beside her.

But when they saw the green grass directly in front of them, their already thinner face froze.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he slapped his forehead: "Ah, I remembered wrong. That tent was built by my mother for my sister. I came here to ask you to sleep with me, Yue."

Heaven knows that the tent had already used up all her strength to hold herself, so how could it possibly fit Wu Yue in?

Looking at her still somewhat chubby figure, and then at the pitiful little tent behind her, Wu Yue decisively turned to Yuan Lang and said, "I'll have to trouble you again. Could my tent be a little bigger than that one?"

Threatened by the orcs, and now even his own tent is being disliked by his friends, Qingcao has gone into the tent to heal his wounds.

Yuan Lang, now fully revitalized by the little female's need, instantly forgot his minor frustration.

Since we're going to build a tent for the little female, it can't be shabby.

He grabbed two free laborers and headed straight for the nearby forest, returning with a few thick logs in a row: "Wait a moment, it'll be quick."

He pulled out a few animal tendons from the rescued basket; these were things he had specifically kept for making bows and arrows.

Teng Kun dug a deep hole in the ground, and Yuan Lang inserted the thickest tree trunk into it and buried it. The remaining trunks were fixed to the middle piece of wood.

Then a thick stack of animal hides was fixed to the wood.

The orcs were so tall that they could just reach the very top of the tent, which was quite spacious for Wu Yue.

Teng Qian then diligently brought over a lot of hay to spread inside the tent, and Yuan Lang also put the basket that Wu Yue had been rescued into it.

The surrounding tribesmen stared in disbelief at the magnificent tents built by the three orcs.

Grandma Huashu nudged Yuan Qi beside her: "When did our boy acquire this ability?"

Yuan Qi shook his head: "I don't know, I'm curious too."

Two pairs of suspicious eyes shot a chilling glance at the orc who was arrogantly holding his chin up in front of Wu Yue, waiting for praise.

Yuan Lang's body suddenly stiffened. He didn't know if it was because the night wind was too cool, but he felt a chill on his back.

Wu Yue smiled as she looked at her warm tent, which already had a fire pit lit, and after expressing her heartfelt gratitude, she went inside to try and get information out of the tent.

Yuan Lang was naturally very pleased to receive the little female's thanks. Although he didn't chuckle with the same smugness as the two beasts, Teng Qian and Teng Kun, the smile on his lips was undeniable.

But when he turned around and saw two familiar figures behind him, the chill he had felt earlier returned, and he immediately chuckled and waved, "Still not asleep?"

Grandma Huashu and Yuan Qi sneered, "Watching their own son fawn over them while their own father and mother can only stand in the cold wind, I really..."

As he spoke, he even hypocritically wiped away non-existent crocodile tears.

Although Yuan Qi felt that his partner was exaggerating a bit, he still succumbed to her threatening look and nodded firmly: "Exactly."

Grandma Flower Tree nudged her partner discreetly: "Continue!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi coughed twice and said, "Well, let's build one for your mother too. She has to go out to gather resources tomorrow and needs to rest early."

Seeing his father completely dominated by his mother, Yuan Lang couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The husband's authority is not strong."

But under his mother's expectant gaze, he took his two younger brothers to cut down trees and set up a tent.

Meanwhile, in Wu Yue's tent, looking at Tongzi with its two chubby little front paws embracing its chest, Wu Yue decisively transferred ten points to Tongzi's pocket money account.

Upon hearing the news that the points had been credited to his account, Tongzi finally put down his two little paws with satisfaction and said in a serious tone, "When you were building the cellar before, didn't Tengkun find a kind of clay?"

That can be used to fire bricks.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up instantly, "Yes!"
She had completely forgotten such an important matter, and immediately started discussing with the ball: "Does firing bricks require a brick kiln or something? And molds, right? Otherwise, it will look terrible if they are all different sizes."

"Yes, yes, and most importantly, there's the adhesive; I don't have any cement!"

When it came to cement, such a high-end product, Wu Yue's initial excitement instantly vanished.

Tongzi shook its tail helplessly: "You'll have to figure that out yourselves. If you need to redeem it with points, then come find me."

Wu Yue tossed the creature into a corner of the grassy nest with obvious disgust: "What use are you anyway?"

The system was shocked. You're the perfect example of a dog host who kicks someone after they've served their purpose!
A moment later, Wu Yue let out a long sigh and collapsed into the grass: "I don't know, I've thought about it for so long and still can't figure it out."

I just realized how useless I am!

The system glanced at the time silently, its lips twitching as if it were about to have a stroke: "It's only been less than five minutes, okay? Host, can your brain only store less than five minutes' worth of information?"

Wu Yue stared at Tongzi with a death stare: "Shut up, hurry up and think of something, or you won't get any more pocket points."

Tongzi chuckled: "You should just wash up and go to sleep. You might dream about it."

Seeing the dog system's nonchalant attitude, Wu Yue had no choice but to take off her animal-skin shoes, lie down in the grass, and close her eyes to meditate.

Forget it, let's get the bricks fired first. Without bricks, everything else will be a waste of time.

Seeing the host diligently cultivating, the system also showed a gratified smile, like an old auntie.

It feels like my dog ​​has finally learned to shake hands.
