Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

If the entire tribe joins in, then the grains harvested on ordinary days would be far from enough to feed everyone.

As the new leader, at this time, surely more robust members of the Wolf Clan would be considered for acceptance.

By then, those who are elderly...

The few elders looked at each other, seemingly having guessed their future fate, their faces showing some bitterness.

Jiang Lai noticed their concerns and shook her head with a smile.

"Our tribe has strict criteria for accepting people. If you want to join, it depends on whether you meet my conditions."

Strict?

Didn’t they get in quite easily?

"You are different, you are the first batch of key members. In the future, you will assist me in managing the tribe. Even if someone wants to join, I will ask for your opinions.

You understand the Wolf Clan more than I do. I will be relying on you in the future."

Jiang Lai’s personality is quite changeable.

When strict, she is like an unapproachable leader who only gives orders for everyone to unconditionally follow.

But occasionally, she becomes approachable, giving the elders present an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

With these two personalities intertwined, those who gradually became familiar with Jiang Lai also figured out the way to get along with her.

That is, to do what needs to be done, do not act without permission, speak less and do more, to peacefully coexist with her.

A simple sentence put everyone’s mind at ease.

What the leader says must be true. As long as they follow, they can certainly continue to live well.

The first batch of raw bricks had already been air-dried. Thanks to the unique climate of this continent, although there’s much snow, the air is very dry.

After trying a dozen times, the fire in the kiln finally could maintain a strong burn.

In the first pass, dry burning, evaporating all the moisture in the kiln and raising the temperature.

After that, continually adding dry branches, pine needles, wheat straw, and stalks as fuel for slow burning and roasting.

Once the temperature stabilized, the raw bricks could be put into the kiln.

This step was very labor-intensive, but fortunately, Jiang Lai had some strength, and Ayuan had immense strength. Along with the leader and others helping, the entire first batch of two thousand raw bricks was placed into the kiln.

Everyone was very curious, not understanding what Jiang Lai was actually doing.

After the first batch of raw bricks went into the kiln, Jiang Lai immediately started making the second batch of raw bricks.

During this time, Ayuan was always guarding by the kiln, constantly adding fuel inside.

Once the kiln was burning, the fire could not be allowed to go out.

Since Jiang Lai said this, Ayuan had been guarding here day and night.

His endurance was excellent, keeping watch over the kiln for more than ten days, managing to keep the fire inside the kiln stable.

Finally, the raw bricks came out of the kiln.

Everyone came to help.

Even the two grannies were helping on the side to transport the bricks outside.

For the first-time seeing bricks, everyone was stunned by these miraculous blocks.

Hard, square, sturdy.

Most importantly, even if dropped, they wouldn’t shatter.

Not a single brick from the two thousand raw bricks was wasted; they were all brought out intact!

Jiang Lai was also somewhat surprised.

After all, this was her first attempt at brick firing, and keeping the failure rate around twenty percent is considered normal.

But now, with a hundred percent success rate, she once again appreciated the resources of this continent.

With the appropriate climate and rich resources, the Beast World Continent has long possessed the necessary conditions for development.

Especially when Jiang Lai, while digging the kiln, discovered another precious resource.

Iron ore.

The kiln was already filled with plenty of iron ore slag. After being baked at high temperatures for more than ten days, this slag fell onto the bricks, allowing Jiang Lai, who originally intended to burn red bricks, to directly obtain a batch of even harder and stronger bluish-grey bricks.

With successful experience, Jiang Lai then burned another five thousand bricks in succession.

These bricks were transported to the inside of the courtyard walls, where Jiang Lai demonstrated, step by step, teaching the Wolf Clan the method of building walls.

For building walls, Jiang Lai used limestone, ground into powder from the snowy mountains, along with mortar, and ground glutinous rice flour.

Glutinous rice was available from the fields. The proportion added was not much, so it was easily obtainable.

The tricky part was the lime powder. It was very difficult to grind, so it took Jiang Lai quite a bit of effort. In the end, she had to make a homemade manual grinding stone to simplify the process.

Finally, mixing lime powder, mortar, and glutinous rice flour in proportion produced an adhesive quite similar to modern cement in its effect.

Though not as corrosion-resistant as cement, it was sufficient for foundational construction.

With everything ready, the wall building began.

Starting from the inside of the wooden stake fence, circling around to gradually convert the previously wooden walls into brick walls.

Thus, the first batch of masons on the Ancient Continent was born.

The speed at which the raw bricks were produced from the kiln was still too slow, but apart from Jiang Lai, only Ayuan could control the fire well; being anxious was futile, they could only burn slowly and build slowly. Anyway, winter was still long, and before everything revived, they had plenty of time to consolidate their new home.

Since the kiln fire could not go out, everyone had to take turns guarding it, although most of the time, it was Ayuan. When he rested, the old leader would stay here.

The new wall was very sturdy, Ayuan tested it by transforming into a wolf and charging forward with all his might but could not break through this barrier.

There were many sharp spikes hidden within the wire mesh on top of the wall, and it was electrified.

Outside, there was another circle of wooden stakes. Now the tribe was fortified airtight, and with a pack of wolves ready to defend the home with blood at any moment, the entire forest, whether those who feared death or those who didn’t, dared not come close easily.

One night, as everyone sat together for dinner, one granny said earnestly.

"A tall tree attracts the wind; many Beastmen already have their eyes on our tribe."

Just by looking at those prying eyes outside the walls, it was clear that in this cold winter, all Beastmen were coveting the treasures inside the walls.

If they really united to besiege the tribe, even if the wire and walls could hold, they wouldn’t hold for long.

This issue lingered in the minds of others as well.

Ayuan looked at Jiang Lai.

"Leader, I will defend the tribe to the death."

"Alright, alright, how can you defend the tribe if you’re dead? Eat first, we’ll talk after dinner."

Now the culinary skills of the two grannies were getting better and better, and Jiang Lai was eagerly looking forward to breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. Hence, she was especially focused during meals and basically didn’t talk.

Everyone also kept quiet, concentrating on their meals.

After dinner, the courtyard lights turned on, making it as bright as day.

Everyone was long accustomed to being able to see clearly at night, so they had a lot more time available for use.

Before, at night, all they could do was sleep.

It was different now; with the light, they could do anything they wanted to do from the daytime.

For instance, right now, everyone could see clearly the wooden crossbows in front of them and the targets ten meters away.
