"roar--"

Listening to the continuous screams not far away, Xiong couldn't help but feel anxious. His skill "The more you fight, the braver you get" was activated, and the bravery value temporarily increased to six stars.

The frequency of bear attacks increased again, and the injuries on the Hyena Queen began to increase rapidly.

"ah......"

In the end, the hyena queen was decapitated with a knife, and only half of her final howl came out.

The Hyena Queen said that the hyenas, who had lost their command, immediately swarmed into chaos like headless flies, and everyone immediately started killing indiscriminately.

Several hyenas, second only to the Queen Hyena in size, saw this and howled quickly, and each of them fled with part of the hyena.

The battle ended with the loss of more than half of the hyena group.

Although there were no casualties on the Xia tribe's side, more than twenty warriors were scratched and bitten. Although each of them had wound medicine prepared by the tribe, scavengers like hyenas carried a large amount of poison on their claws.

bacteria, so we can only leave it to fate in the end.

Afterwards, everyone finished up the hyenas that were still alive. Unfortunately, the meat of this scavenger was inedible, so they had to burn it.

The group of people rested in the wild for a night, and after eating some dried meat early the next morning, they continued on their way.

In the following days, they marched towards the mountain where the tin ore was found, while under the leadership of Leopard, they searched for the tribes located on the grassland.

Last time it took the white wolf only five days to reach the tin mine from the rainforest, but this time it took the bear seven full days to reach the tin mine from the edge of the rainforest.

However, the harvest was still very great. They captured more than 400 indigenous people during this period.

After arriving at the tin mine, Leopard and Qingyang distributed ore mining tools to the natives and asked them to start collecting tin ore. The bear, on the other hand, led thirty axe-shielders around the grasslands, hunting and bringing back more tin ore.

Many indigenous people.

As time went by, the number of indigenous people gathered in the tin mines once reached thousands. But what is puzzling is that these people did not think about resisting at all and still mined tin ore diligently every day.

In fact, it's very easy to understand. These people come from different tribes, and some of them even have blood feuds with each other. It's good to be able to live in peace and harmony together, and they still resist.

In addition, in the past, they often did not have enough to eat and had to endure attacks by wild beasts. Maybe one night their brothers who slept in the same tent with them would be snatched away.

Now, as long as they work every day, they will have food to fill their stomachs, and they don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals. They are stupid to resist.

...

[Your troops have been outside for seven days. Do you want to transfer them back? 】

"no."

"Unknowingly, seven days have passed." Xia Qi whispered.

According to Yang Guang, the minimum duration of an invasion war is 7 days, and the maximum duration is 30 days. When it is determined that there is no danger and the opponent still has ores, of course, the longer the stay, the better.

Afterwards, Xia Qi started busy with the matter at hand again.

During this time, two batches of salt water have been delivered from the Yushan tribe, which he has boiled into salt. Xia Qirang added salt to the food in the past few days from the kitchen.

Foods made with salt are widely praised by the tribesmen.

Xia Qi then announced that anyone who works for the tribe will be rewarded with salt.

Moving from public ownership to private ownership is easier said than done. This salt is Xia Qi's first step.

Originally, with the rapid expansion of the tribe, some lazy people inevitably appeared in the tribe. They only knew how to eat but not how to work. This was a huge burden for the tribe.

Now with the encouragement of Yanba, all departments have burst out with amazing vitality, and even the progress of building the city wall has increased a lot.

Because the proportion of salt rewarded by the engineering team was among the highest among the tribes, more people joined it.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Things have been developing for the better for a while, and the tribe has even begun to exchange salt for animal skins, or exchange dried meat for salt.

Of course, Xia Qi supported this. He even found an open space in the tribe and designated it as a market for people to barter.

[Business behavior has occurred in your civilization, and you will be rewarded with 100 civilization points and 10 culture points]

Xia Qi was already used to the game prompts that popped up from time to time, and he wasn't as happy about the rewards as he was at the beginning.

But then again, with the development of the tribe, the system will pop up from time to time to show its presence, and the frequency of this appearance is becoming more and more frequent during this period.

If it weren't for the blocking option, Xia Qi would have to block him, which would be really annoying.

A few more days passed like this, and then the city wall that Xia Qi had been thinking about was finally close to completion!

Hearing the report from the engineering team, Xia Qi's mood was obviously high. It was not easy to build a city wall in this era. He had worked hard for several months, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he thought about it.

The completed city wall is five bears high, which is more than ten meters. The four walls are five miles long and eight meters wide. There are stairs at all four corners of the city wall for easy access. In the eyes of later generations, this is nothing more than a piece of dirt.

Weizi, but in this era, is an incredible creation.

The entire city wall has been basically completed. What is missing is the details and the installation of the city gates. Each of the four current city walls has a city gate opening three meters wide and five meters high.

This time, the city gate has a suspension bridge replaced by a gate. It is made of iron birch and is four meters wide and eight meters high. It took nearly three months to polish and make the four gates, and this was still done with bronze.

In the case of tools.

There is a groove left at the city gate, and the gate is placed inside.

When there is a war, just lower the gate. The gate is twice as hard as steel. It will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy to break through the city gate.

The installation of the city gate requires Xia Qi to do it himself. After all, the entire city gate structure requires a set of pulley mechanisms to drive it. Except for Xia Qi, other people in the tribe obviously cannot understand this. As for the

Let him teach junior high school physics to these people who haven't even graduated from prenatal education. Forget it, just thinking about it makes my brain start to hurt.

After assembling the mechanism of the entire roller skating team, and with the installation of the city gate completed, the entire perimeter of the city walls suddenly connected together. Controlling the excitement in his heart, Xia Qi raised his hand and signaled the construction team to start turning.

There are two wheels placed inside the city gate.

The two men who came out of the team looked at each other. As members of the construction team that made this city gate, they knew how heavy this city gate was.

At that time, they were more than a dozen adult men who worked hard to move here.

Although the city gate was made according to the design drawings, they could not imagine how to open such a heavy city gate again once it was closed.

"Go ahead, hold the handle, and then turn the wheel in front of you." Looking at the two people standing there stupidly, not knowing what to do, Xia Qi gave a little explanation.

Out of loyalty to Xia Qi, even though both of them felt a little baffled, they still followed the instructions obediently, holding both hands on the long handle, and then started to exert force at the same time. As a result, the turn before their eyes

Lun Que was basically motionless, which made the two of them glance at Xia Qi's position subconsciously, "Chief..."

"Use all your strength, don't worry about breaking it, this thing is not that fragile."

After hearing Xia Qi's words, the two exchanged glances and began to exert force on the wheel again. It could be clearly seen that the muscles on their arms were bulging. Under the push of this force,

The previously motionless wheel finally started to move, and began to rotate slowly, and then caused the pulley block to start running...

A sound of "click, click, click" penetrated the ears of the two people. Before they could turn around and take a look, bursts of uncontrollable exclamations came from the nearby crowd of people watching, "City gate, city gate."

The door is up!”

"Has it risen?" At this time, he was facing the city gate with all his strength.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The two people pushing the wheel looked stunned at the same time.

When they turned the wheel to the limit, and then followed Xia Qi's instructions and stuck the wheel with the button that had been prepared on the side, the two of them were so impatient that they didn't have time to take a breath and hurriedly turned around to face the person behind them.

Looking at Chengmen, the impact that that moment brought to them made the two of them freeze on the spot, with unconcealable shock on their faces, "Sheng, it's risen? It's really risen?"

!”

Looking at the city gate rising high, at this moment, even though the facts were before their eyes, the two of them still couldn't believe their eyes. It actually rose? That door took more than a dozen people to barely lift.

The city gate, the city gate was raised just by the strength of the two of them?

How on earth is this done? It's really unbelievable. People who don't know what a 'roller skating team' is can only keep marveling at the magic of this scene in front of them, and their eyes become confused when looking at Xia Qi.

Become more respectful.

After all, the previous suspension bridge was just pulled up by ropes.

[You built the "city wall", and the Xia tribe's livability is 1]

Xia Qi was stunned by the sudden system prompt.

"By the way, what is this livability thing?" Xia Qi muttered in confusion.

It seems that Yang Guang was right before he said that no rank is just a novice village. Only when he truly enters the Bronze rank will the true face of the civilized battlefield begin to show its true face.

With confusion, Xia Qi sent a message to Yang Guang, asking about the livability.

Yang Guang: Habitability? Have you unlocked livability?

Xia Qi: I built a city wall, and then the system prompted me to increase the habitability of my tribe a little bit.

Yang Guang: ...Logically speaking, livability will not appear until the player reaches the bronze rank. It seems that the amount of work on your city wall is not small.

Xia Qi: It’s okay, it’s just a wall.

Yang Guang: Livability is very important. Each point of livability can improve the work efficiency of the people in the territory by 10%. When the livability increases to a certain level, it can even improve the people's work efficiency.

Loyalty can be understood as everyone living comfortably, so the work efficiency becomes higher, and you also become more pleasing to the eye. However, the livability is not so easy to stack. It can stack the livability of a tribe or city.
