Chapter 128 - 107: The Old Witch Returns
After Frostfall, the Warriors of the Hunting Team focused intensely on hunting, while the Warriors of the Fishing Team concentrated on fishing.
Even the Warriors of the Planting Team, with no tasks after the autumn harvest, went to the nearby forest to gather various wild fruits and tuberous plants.
The two bags of insect wax traded back from the Rock Sheep Tribe were re-boiled by Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao to remove impurities and poured into pre-prepared bamboo tubes.
Two-thirds of the insect wax is directly stored and guarded by Chi Shao, who will study its medicinal properties and the effects of pairing it with different herbs.
A third of the insect wax, after being poured into bamboo tubes, will have a strong oil-absorbing thin rope placed in the middle.
When the insect wax dries, one only needs to break open the bamboo tube to obtain a very thick candle.
This type of candle emits a refreshing scent when burned, and the flame is stable, making it suitable for night lighting.
After finishing the insect wax, Jiang Xuan looked up toward the giant dragonflies on Stone Mountain.
These giant dragonflies clung to the Ancient Vine and hadn’t moved for two days.
Jiang Xuan knew they were likely already frozen to death, just like the giant dragonfly last year.
These giant dragonflies had traveled with them to the Mosquito Tribe, fought side by side, and transported supplies. Now their lives had ended, and Jiang Xuan felt somewhat saddened.
