Chapter 335 A New Challenge
Another ninth-tier?
It seems that everyone's strength has increased significantly this time.

After getting a general idea of ​​what was going on, Su Luoluo coughed twice and said, "I have some good news to tell you. My superpower has also broken through. I've reached level nine in the water element, and I can freeze water into ice."

"That's really great!"

"Lolo is amazing!"

"Wow, now I can drink iced water and iced milk tea!"

"Lolo is amazing!"

As soon as Su Luoluo finished speaking, the group showered her with emotional praise.

Su Luoluo rolled her eyes at them inwardly; they were so fake.

She actually told them this so they wouldn't worry too much about her and that she wouldn't hold them back.

After they stopped, she looked at Mo Xuan and asked, "How's the furnace I asked you to make yesterday?"

Mo Xuan nodded and said, "The stove is all built, and everything you asked me to find is ready."

"Furnace? What's that?" Before Su Luoluo could say anything, Fu Feng asked in confusion.

“A furnace used for smelting iron,” Su Luoluo explained.

"Iron smelting? What is iron?" Luan Ting looked puzzled.

They had never heard of this before.

"Iron is a black substance extracted from iron ore. It is very hard and is especially suitable for making arrows. It has a much stronger penetrating power than bone arrows, and once it hits, it will be fatal."

"If the dragons launch a large-scale attack on us, the orcs of the tribe can use iron arrows to protect themselves."

"And it can also delay them for a while, allowing us to see their strength clearly."

Last time, the catapult invented by Su Luoluo allowed them to successfully repel the attack of the Xuan Bird Clan.

They thought Su Luoluo would continue to use the same method, but unexpectedly, she changed the approach this time.

Nan Tu asked in confusion, "Aren't we using catapults anymore? They worked very well for us last time."

Su Luoluo shook her head: "Dragon beasts and Xuan Birds are different in size. Xuan Birds have a hard time avoiding stones, but dragons are different. They are more agile."

"Now that this iron is forged, do we need to make a new batch of iron arrows?" Xiao Ye asked thoughtfully.

Su Luoluo nodded: "We need to redo the arrowheads, but besides arrows, we can make other things."

"Other? What is it?"

"I've already drawn up the blueprints for some knives and swords. You'll be able to see them once they're made."

Hearing Su Luoluo say this, the others didn't press the matter further.

After all, they will see it once it comes out.

After Su Luoluo finished speaking, she was still uneasy about how to explain these iron pieces and knives to this group of people.

To everyone's surprise, as if they had agreed beforehand, none of them asked any further questions.

Even Xi Yi, whom she was most worried about, did not speak.

It's not that they weren't curious, but rather that they had gotten used to it.

Su Luoluo can do so many things. In the past, they would question and be amazed at how she knew how to do so many things, but now they have gradually accepted it calmly.

As for Xi Yi, he felt that even if he asked, the other party would probably just push it onto the gods again, so it wouldn't be very interesting. He decided to wait until Su Luoluo wanted to talk about it before asking.
Seeing that no one was asking, Su Luoluo stopped worrying about it and said to the others, "I don't know when the Dragon Clan will arrive, so let's all go and help out first!"

Iron smelting is no small project; it's far more complex than salt production. It's unlikely that one person could complete it alone without help.

After having breakfast at Caixia's place, the group went to the furnace under Moxuan's guidance. Su Luoluo was initially worried that the furnace wouldn't meet her requirements.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xuan was extremely skilled with his hands, and he perfectly replicated the furnace she had drawn on the blueprints, down to the last detail.

After showing Su Luoluo around, Mo Xuan raised his head and asked, "Luoluo, how was it? I did a good job, right?"

Su Luoluo gave him a thumbs up, "Great, this is exactly what I wanted."

Because it needs to store fire, the bottom of the furnace is built larger, while the top is narrower to prevent heat from escaping, and a wooden blower is installed at the bottom.

Moxuan did an exceptionally good job with the overall structure, which is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.

Xiao Ye looked at the furnace and asked, "What does Luo Luo want us to do?"

Su Luoluo thought for a moment and said, "There is an iron ore mine to the left of the furnace. I need a few people to crush the iron ore into powder and then transport it over. I also need a few people to crush and grind the limestone into powder. Finally, I need to bring some firewood over."

To facilitate iron smelting, Su Luoluo specifically asked Mo Xuan to build the furnace not far from the iron ore.

After hearing this, Luan Ting volunteered, "I have broad and thick hands, so I can do things like hammering iron and stone."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan replied, "I can too."

Xi Yi laughed and said, "It seems that this kind of work is more suitable for us land beasts with hands. Count me in."

Coral stones are usually found in the sea. Nan Tu looked at Su Luoluo and said, "I'll bring the coral stones ashore."

Xiao Ye curled his tail and said, "I'll get some dry firewood."

"Then I'll be in charge of smashing the coral into powder."

After the division of labor was clearly defined, everyone started working on their respective tasks.

The furnace was only completed yesterday. The clay was made by crushing and mixing dried seaweed together to prevent the clay from cracking at high temperatures, but this also makes the furnace dry a bit slower.

After checking the furnace and confirming that it was not damaged, Su Luoluo stretched out her palm and used her water-based powers to drain the moisture from the furnace, thus making it completely dry.

For the first time smelting iron, Su Luoluo didn't invite the tribe members. She planned to go through the process herself first, and then promote it after she succeeded.

While Luan Ting and the others were smashing the iron stone with their Gale Palm technique, she went into the woods to find some vines and wove some baskets for them to transport the iron powder.

The three processes were carried out simultaneously. By the time she finished delivering the basket, Mo Xuan had already produced some iron powder, which he then put in the basket and delivered to the furnace.

Meanwhile, Fu Feng's coral powder had been crushed into a large quantity, and it was almost time for Xiao Ye to pile the firewood into a small mountain.

After she had Xiao Ye start the fire in the furnace, she poured the iron powder that Mo Xuan had sent into the furnace, then covered it with a layer of charcoal that Mo Xuan had obtained by burning tree branches yesterday, and then poured in the coral stone that Fu Feng had crushed.

Coral stone is mainly composed of lime, and when mixed with iron powder, it can effectively aid combustion.

After finishing, she pulled the blower on the furnace to turn the fire temperature to the maximum.

The whooshing sound of bellows filled the air.

While the group waited for Su Luoluo's wrought iron to be born, Ye Jiu, the great shaman of the dragon clan on the Boundless Coast, cut his finger, dripped a few drops of blood onto the golden dragon scales, and threw it into the sea.

He chanted an incantation: "My heart scales, return to their origin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden scales seemed to grow legs, burrowed into the sea, and went deeper into the ocean.

A moment later, the sea surface churned, and the golden scales flew back.

Ye Jiu retrieved the scales and sneered, "There really is something there."

 My darlings, please vote for me!
