"Alright then, I won't make adobe bricks. There's also the issue of the chimney. Is there anything hollow?" Her idea was to plaster mud on the outside, fix it to the top of the cave, and extend it out from the cave entrance.

The two tried several methods, and finally, the falconer dug a trench on the top of the cave, put a hollow semi-circle of hard wood on the outside, and then covered it with sticky mud to make a circular chimney.

"Hot? It really is hot!" Eagle Hunter exclaimed in surprise, placing his hand on the damp heated brick bed.

Although he was the main person in charge of building the kang (heated brick bed), following the female's instructions step by step, he still didn't understand why it was hot. He had only lit a small fire, and not only did the fire not go out, but it also made the kang, which was so big, hot.

"During the cold season, you won't feel cold sleeping on it." Considering that he spends half his time in beast form, the kang (heated brick bed) was made very large.

The two then partitioned the cave, blocking the kang (heated brick bed) and the cave entrance. After the temperature dropped, they used a large stone to block the entrance, which would raise the temperature inside considerably.

"Ye, why did you add another wall inside?" Eagle Hunter asked while grilling meat.

"It'll be warmer in a smaller space," Ye said listlessly after eating a piece of grilled meat.

The cave was too big, nearly twenty meters deep. She wanted to use the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) as a base to partition off a relatively small room to maintain the temperature as much as possible.

"So, are we going to have to roast meat here at the cave entrance from now on?" Eagle Hunter thought it was a waste of the heat from the fire.

"It's where we sleep, and I don't want it to smell like barbecue all over. It's just a matter of preparing more firewood." If there's really no other way, she won't be fussy, but now that she has the means, why not create a relatively clean and quiet resting space?

Furthermore, although ventilation openings were provided in each partition, the ventilation openings in the bedroom were somewhat small. If a fire were set up inside to cook, the airflow might not be sufficient, making people feel stuffy.

"During the coldest days of the winter, having a fire inside the house will make it a bit warmer."

"Let's wait until the coldest days. If it gets really cold, we can build a fire inside." Ye nodded. They should get a small stove and a fire wall at the same time.

Unfortunately, she didn't think things through. The partition wall was already finished, and it would be too much trouble to redo the chimney. If she were to renovate it again next year...

Eagle Hunter said that during the cold season, these top hunters would also go out hunting, only staying away on the coldest days. Therefore, the orc tribes of top hunters would generally only stockpile a little meat for emergencies, not a large amount of food. However, Ye was aware of the crisis, and since she had space in her storage space, it should be full.

Also, she wanted to change her diet. The original owner's body was used to eating roasted meat every day, but her soul wasn't used to it. She wanted to eat a variety of meals with a mix of meat and vegetables.

"Ye, I'll go exchange the salt tomorrow," Eagle Hunter suddenly said.

"Where can I exchange it? I'll go too."

"There are two tribes over there that have salt, the Leopard Tribe and the Tiger Tribe. I plan to go to the Leopard Tribe to exchange for it. If you, the female, go there, she will be left in the tribe." Eagle Hunter said hesitantly. He had been hesitating for several days. The orc tribes did not care as much about infertility as the human tribes. The female would live better in the tribe. He could not not go to exchange for salt, nor could he leave the female alone here. He could not prevent the female from going to the tribe because of his selfishness.

However, Ye did not want to become a lowly resident of the orc tribe.

"Forced? Can't I refuse?"

"They won't force you, but they will persuade you." They might even tempt you, Eagle Hunter added in his mind.

"As long as you don't force me, I won't agree," Ye said calmly. She wasn't the original owner of this body.

Eagle Hunter hesitated for a moment: "Ye, I'll be wherever you are, as long as you don't dislike me. Also, there are many male orcs in these two tribes who haven't formed a bond yet. You can take one or two in."

"If I don't live in the tribe, will the males from the tribe come out?" Ye didn't refuse. The last time she was injured and poisoned, she realized that as a female human, even if she had a different soul, she still needed to be closely protected.

She was too arrogant, thinking she could live alone. Even the most advanced weapon requires the user to react in time.

In the original tribes, the males did not dare to go out hunting alone. Those who could live and hunt alone were top hunters like the Eagle Clan and the Tiger Clan.

"Top hunters, especially the tiger and eagle tribes, don't congregate too much in their tribes. Many orcs live alone unless they form a pact. For them, it doesn't really matter whether they live in the tribe or not." Just like him, before he left the tribe, he was a loner. He would only gather together on special occasions, such as the great hunt before the cold season.

Then why bother with a tribe? Ye didn't quite understand. She remembered that in other worlds, wild beasts like tigers had their own territories. Could it be because they could transform into humans?

Even the falcon hunter wasn't quite sure about this: "Perhaps it's the meaning of the totem spirit!"

Convenient for management? Convenient for harvesting faith power? Ye didn't say these two sentences aloud.

"What are we going to use to trade for salt?" Ye changed the subject. Those kinds of beastmen shouldn't lack prey, right? She glanced at her space and saw that the salt she had stockpiled in the previous world should be enough to last her for four or five years.

The previous world was a post-apocalyptic world with scarce resources, and she had also concealed the size of her space, so she couldn't stockpile too much stuff. Even this amount was accumulated over several years.

"On the highest cliff, there grows a fruit called the Love Fruit, which can induce estrus in female orcs and increase their chances of conceiving. There are highly venomous giant snakes around this fruit, and it is difficult for non-flying races to pick it, but it is not difficult for me. I will pick some tomorrow morning."

"So, the females of your Eagle Clan can go into heat anytime?" After all, they can go and pick love fruits.

Eagle Hunter shook his head: "The Love Fruit can only be used once a year, and we are born from eggs, so we are unstable before hatching. Races like the Tiger Clan and the Leopard Clan are born in beast form."

This means that although female eagles have an extra estrus cycle and a higher chance of conceiving, no one can guarantee that all eggs will hatch safely before they hatch.

"If you can guarantee your safety, pick more and put them in my space to trade with the orc tribe." This stuff is hard currency among land-dwelling beastmen.

"it is good."

Tiger Tribe

"Eagle Clan, here to trade salt again? Do you have Love Fruit?" As he approached the Tiger Clan's territory, an orc recognized him and greeted him warmly. In fact, Eagle Hunter had been here once before, but no orc tribe didn't want Love Fruit.
