Chapter 276: A Forger’s Happiness, Mining Craze (1)
If someone asked Zhou Shu what his first impression of the Demon Realm was, then his answer would definitely be that the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm were the best miners, stonemasons, and construction workers!
The demonic beasts were huge, powerful, and had sharp claws.
Ordinary stones were no different from tofu under their sharp claws.
They could easily pile up ten-foot-square stones.
Zhou Shu didn’t know if it was because their leader was in his hands or if it was because of something else.
In any case, these demonic beasts were very obedient, and they would do whatever Zhou Shu told them to do.
A high wall was erected at a visible rate.
The high wall was fifty feet tall. It was like a small city wall.
The tallest of the giant demonic beasts was less than half the height of the high wall.
Zhou Shu was still a little dissatisfied, but Shi Songtao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
With this high wall, it wouldn’t be so easy for the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm to attack them again.
Zhou Shu and the others were currently on a mountain. They hadn’t just erected four high walls.
After erecting the first high wall, Zhou Shu finally saw the efficiency of these demonic beasts.
A fifty-foot-high wall was only a few dozen large stones to them.
If it hadn’t taken a little effort to gather the stones from the mountains, they could have done it in half a day.
Of course, after the stones were stacked, they needed further reinforcement.
Zhou Shu didn’t need the demonic beasts to do it.
He directly used the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to fill the gaps between the stones into magma. After cooling, all the stones became one.
Then Zhou Shu instructed the demonic beasts to build a few houses not far from the blood silver mine.
This was a little more troublesome than building a high wall, but Zhou Shu only needed to instruct them to build houses and dig the mine at the same time. He wasn’t in a hurry.
While the demonic beasts were building houses and mining, Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou continued to plan the construction of the camp according to the location of the blood silver mine and the nearby mountains.
Anyway, there were hundreds of hard laborers. They were not afraid that their idea wouldn’t be realized.
Yin Wuyou blushed slightly and looked very confident.
She even had the illusion that she and Zhou Shu were planning their own home…
With a certain thought, she fully displayed her knowledge as the princess of Great Xia.
All kinds of strange ideas came to mind.
She might not be a professional architect, but she was knowledgeable. She had seen all kinds of houses.
Many of her ideas made Zhou Shu’s eyes light up.
If someone else was building the camp, it would definitely not be that troublesome.
Regarding camps during war, the first thing to consider was naturally practicality. Other than being able to keep enemies away, it had to satisfy the training, life, and fighting needs of the soldiers.
As for whether it looked nice or not, this wasn’t even a consideration.
But Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou were different.
They didn’t take the war seriously at all. To them, this camp had to be not only practical but also beautiful, comfortable to stay in, and pleasing to the eye…
Anyway, they had so many free laborers, and these laborers worked fast.
Just like that, more and more blood silver ores were dug up, and the camp gradually took shape.
There were rows of extremely unique stone houses. Although they were not carefully carved or painted, they were still beautiful and graceful.
The polished, mirror-smooth stone was no worse than painted walls.
Zhou Shu was already very satisfied with being able to do this under the current conditions.
He was a little reluctant to execute these demonic beasts now.
They are such good workers. He didn’t even have to pay for their meals.
But he also knew that these demonic beasts were not willing to serve him.
If not for the humanoid demonic beast as a hostage, these hundreds of demonic beasts would have immediately wanted to skin Zhou Shu alive.
“Your Highness, I found twelve different forging materials in this mountain.” Shi Songtao returned to Zhou Shu’s side excitedly.
He was covered in dirt, and his clothes were torn.
But for once, he didn’t care about any of this. His face was full of excitement.
“This place is a treasure trove!”
As a forger, there was nothing happier than seeing so many forging materials.
Over the past few days, Zhou Shu and the demonic beast laborers had turned this mountain into their camp.
After confirming that there were no other demonic beasts nearby, Shi Songtao felt at ease and started looking for mines in the mountains.
The search turned up this result, making him happy.
This space in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was ownerless. Whoever occupied it would own it.
In other words, everything in and on this mountain now belonged to the Huaxia Pavilion.
Although there were only a dozen types of forging materials, the amount was massive.
Shi Songtao had never dared to think that he would one day have so many forging materials.
In the future, he wouldn’t have to worry about forging materials anymore.
“Only twelve types?” Zhou Shu said unhappily. “Deputy Master, do you think it’s the same for the other places in this space?
“What do you think about taking down those mountains as well?”
