On top of the ice wall, there are two soldiers on guard on each sentry tower with a giant crossbow. These places are manned around the clock.
The warriors in charge of the giant crossbows are all of the highest overall quality within the tribe, and each one is very flexible in mind and knows how to adapt to various emergencies.
On Snow Star, the early warning of beast tides is relatively simple. Those beast tides that rampage in winter always rely on their strong strength and numbers to attack head-on, which is simple and crude.
But after all, there are other tribes on Snow Star, and even crazy groups. If they cannot protect the tribes that are short of supplies, they will attack other tribes. Although such incidents are rare, they must be guarded against.
If you are attacked by a tide of beasts, you still know how you died. If you are tricked by a human tribe, you will really die without knowing how you died, which is very frustrating.
Ye Qiong took Tang Ying and jumped off the north city wall. The ice wall was originally designed to resist the tide of beasts and mad people, so the Ye Qiong tribe, like other tribes, would not build doors or steps on the ice wall.
Because tribes with sufficient food do not need to go out at all, they can just stay dormant within the tribe.
After the next spring, the ice wall outside will melt directly, and then the tribesmen can go out normally.
Only when the supplies and food within the tribe are insufficient, they will venture out. This seemingly self-imposed method can actually increase the chance of human survival on the Snow Planet.
In a completely closed tribe, it is difficult to detect beasts and mad people.
Those tribes that went out hunting due to lack of food could easily steal the chickens and lose the rice, and the entire tribe was involved.
There was snow under the ice wall, which was not hard. After Ye Qiong jumped down, he caught Tang Ying who jumped down from above, held her in his arms and landed her firmly on the ground.
In the large open space in front, except for the blood left by the attack of the beast wave a while ago, Ye Qiong has arranged for a small team of soldiers to come and level the land. There are not many people, only ten people.
They were transferred from their busy schedule, and the task given to them was to level the dozens of acres of land between the ice wall and the stone city wall on the north side before spring.
In the absence of modern machinery, the workload of the ten soldiers was still very heavy with their own hands.
Fortunately, I have plenty of time, so I can open an average of about an acre every day, which is enough.
With ample food reserves, the soldiers have plenty of strength. This year, many second-line warriors are much stronger. Although they no longer have to charge into battle, they still have to do some work in the tribe and develop tribe construction.
It will be vague.
If this kind of physical activity continues, when the tribes fight, they will be a fighting force that cannot be ignored when they take up weapons again.
At this moment, the ten soldiers responsible for leveling the land were already busy, carrying shovels invented by Ye Qiong to clear and level all the highlands and bumpy ground.
The snow on the ground has been turned over and buried underground. When the seeds are sown in spring, there is no need to worry too much about water sources.
Moreover, there is no shortage of water in Snow Star's summer. Vegetation will grow wildly in summer. The breeding cycle of small herbivores and carnivores is calculated on a monthly basis. Within a few months, they will continue to grow exponentially.
They are the food source for high-level monsters and the life foundation of the entire Snow Star.
Energy is conserved. The huge bodies and strength possessed by the monsters above the king level on Snow Planet are all accumulated from the palm-sized animals at the bottom.
In another month, we will be able to see the other side of the snow star.
Abundant with abnormal vitality.
All vegetation and small animals will grow and reproduce crazily, as if they have been given a catalyst!
Unfortunately, most of the wildly growing ones are vines, which have nothing to do with humans and are inedible. And those small palm-sized animals are experts at digging holes. They are very difficult to capture, and they are not as good as large monsters.
In comparison, humans are more willing to take risks and challenges to hunt large monsters.
When the ten warriors saw Ye Qiong and Tang Ying approaching, they all put down what they were saying. They had not seen this young clan leader for a long time, and they all began to salute.
Ye Qiong waved his hands at them and asked them to continue working. Then he pulled Tang Ying to a piece of land that had been turned over, squatted down, then grabbed a handful, looked at it, and smelled it.
The ground, which was originally frozen hard, has gradually begun to melt from above in the past two days. After the soldiers turned over the frozen snow, the softer soil below was exposed.
"What do you smell? Does it smell?" Tang Ying saw Ye Qiong grabbing the soil on the ground and starting to smell it, so she followed suit, squatted down, stretched out her white hands, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, and then
Smell it on the tip of your nose.
A faint smell of blood.
What can Ye Qiong smell? He can't smell anything. It's just a conditioned reflex. When he was on a mission in South Africa, in that kind of desert area, he could rely on the smell of the soil to judge the nearby creatures, because
After urine penetrates into the sand, it can retain its smell for a long time.
The dirt residue in his hands had no taste except for the faint smell of blood. Naturally, Ye Qiong was not interested in tasting it himself.
"It's nothing, I'm just used to it. I'll go back and find some people to get some soil samples. Didn't I tell you about the greenhouse before? You can try it out with a smaller one first and accumulate some experience. When next winter,
Make a big one." Ye Qiong sprinkled the soil in his hand on the ground, then clapped his palms and said.
Tang Ying nodded, curled her lips and said, "Oh, I'll give it a try when I get back. First, take out the seeds in each bag and plant them one by one. If it's as magical as you said,
Maybe it will sprout in a few days."
Ye Qiong nodded in approval.
After the two of them studied the land for a while, Tang Ying accompanied Ye Qiong to the east city wall.
Now the city wall on the east side has been built to a height of about three meters. It would be a bit difficult for ordinary adults to climb up.
In about a month, when spring begins, the city walls on the east side will be almost completed, and then only the city wall on the south side will be left.
On the north side, the west side, and the east side, these three city walls only have a small door three meters high and four meters wide in the middle of each side, which can meet the daily travel needs of the tribesmen in the future.
But if you want to transfer the tribe in a short time, you still need a gate!
Therefore, in Ye Qiong's design drawings, the gate of the entire tribe is in the south, leeward direction. At that time, a gate with a height of five meters and a width of about ten meters will be built. If one day the tribe members are needed,
If you move in a short time, this gate will play a great role in evacuation.
After walking around on the east wall for a while, Ye Qiong suddenly pulled Tang Ying to a stop, and then suddenly looked towards the Dinglong Mountain Range, which was also the direction of the coal mine.
Then he looked back at Tang Ying and said, "You go back first, I'll go to the coal mine to take a look."
