142: Chapter 142: Breathing Respite 3 142: Chapter 142: Breathing Respite 3 Being teased like this by Gaiyin, Su Tang almost lost her bearings, blushing fiercely and her voice softened as if turning into a hot spring, “You …
stop it, please let me go first…”
Gaiyin didn’t care, he continued to stick shamelessly to Su Tang’s, “So you still want to drive me away?”
Su Tang rapidly shook her head, “No, I dare not!”
Gaiyin mischievously lifted the corner of his lips.
Before letting go of Su Tang, he gently pecked on her fair face.
The moment she got freed, Su Tang turned around and raised her fist at Gaiyin, “Stinky Gaiyin!”
Gaiyin chuckled in a deep voice, raising his hand to catch Su Tang’s soft punch with one hand, while fluttering her hair casually with the other, pampering her extensively.
“Alright, enough fooling around.
Do you still have any beast skins in your ‘space’?
Lay them on the ground and take a rest.
I’ll take the tribesmen to fetch the Deer-horned Beast and gather some firewood on the way.”
Upon discussing serious matters, Su Tang cast away her shyness, hastily advising him, “Remember to hoard more firewood.
Once the volcanic ash arrives, we won’t be able to go out.
After that, there’s acid rain, and the same goes for hunting.
While the volcanic ash isn’t severe, we should bring as much as we can find.”
Gaiyin nodded and was about to leave, but Su Tang hurriedly continued, “Oh yes, remember to find a large rock on your way back to block the entrance of the cave to prevent volcanic ash.”
“Ok, I got it!
You rest up, I will call you when it’s time for dinner!”
After Gaiyin left, Su Tang took out one-fifth of all the beast skins she had in ‘space,’ this small cave could only accommodate so much.
She then called Hongguo over and distributed the beast skins to everyone.
She had to make two trips to ‘space’ to ensure each member of the tribe had two pieces of beast skin.
In the end, Su Tang had overestimated the number of tribal people or underestimated the size of the cave!
After all the beastmen of the Winged Tiger Tribe moved in, a third of the small cave was still empty!
For a while, Su Tang was even more curious about the Piercing Stone Tribe.
What kind of beastmen could have carved out such a massive structure!
At the same time, she was also very curious about where the beastmen of the Piercing Stone Tribe had gone!
After Su Tang tidied up her small cave and saw her muddy hands, she realized a severe issue.
Not knowing how long they would have to stay in the cave, their water usage will be a challenging problem!
They must store enough water in advance and use it sparingly!
So when Gaiyin returned with the first batch of Deer-horned Beast, Su Tang immediately addressed this problem.
Gaiyin pondered for a moment and then directed Xiongda and Xionger to find large stones nearby to carve stone pots for water storage.
Both Xiongda and Xionger were beastmen of the Diamond Bear Clan and their bear claws were very sturdy, making them the most suitable candidates for this task!
Since these are only needed to hold water, the inside didn’t have to be smooth, just watertight!
So in just one morning, the two of them had carved over a hundred large water pots!
During lunch, while eating roast meat, Su Tang noticed their trembling hands and the spots of blood on their fingertips, causing her heart to drop.
All the tribesmen were working tirelessly to prepare for the disaster, while she was the only one sleeping in the cave all morning.
So in the afternoon, Su Tang also joined the fruit-picking team led by Hongguo.
Everyone advised her to rest, but Su Tang was stubbornly determined to help, and no one could dissuade her!
