The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 364 - 285: Warrior_2

Two young beastmen carried a wooden rack as they walked by, with freshly baked tiles hanging on it, colliding with each other and making a crisp sound.

"I have an idea."

Luna Sutton picked up a charcoal pen and drew a small circle beside the smelting area, "Build a high wall around, with broken pottery shards inserted on top, or some poisonous vines could be placed there."

The pen tip extended a few more lines, "Leave two exits, guard day and night."

The priest’s cloudy eyes brightened, and he instantly clapped his hands in approval: "This is a good method, it can defend against wild beasts and thieves alike."

Kian Sterling smiled warmly, but deftly took the charcoal pen from her fingertips: "It can also defend against those clueless scouts."

His fox-like eyes glanced over her clay-stained fingers, "Is the work at the furnace finished?"

He handed over a damp beast cloth.

"Corbin Crowley is keeping an eye on it."

Luna Sutton took the damp beast cloth and wiped her hands, "The clay is ready, we can start building the furnace this afternoon."

The priest stroked his beard and nodded: "Building the furnace at the southeast corner is best, the wind direction is stable there." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Caelan Phoenix and Lian Phoenix returned to the tribe with Jago and more than a dozen beastmen, each carrying four or five baskets and packs filled with heavy yellow copper ore.

Jago saw Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood, and instantly knew that the master had returned.

He threw the yellow copper ore on his back to the ground, a flash of white light, and he transformed from a spotted leopard into a tall and handsome beastman.

"Master, come out quickly."

He excitedly shouted at the top of his lungs: "We found a lot of yellow copper ore under the cliff north of the Winged Tiger Tribe!"

His booming voice drew everyone’s attention, with all eyes turning to Jago.

Caleb Manning, who was working, paused instantly.

Yellow copper ore? The cliff north of the Winged Tiger Tribe?

He suddenly remembered hearing something that night under the cliff north of the Winged Tiger Tribe, he had thought it was a beast hiding there.

It turned out to be Jago and the others secretly mining.

He looked up towards the uproar and saw those heavy baskets and packs casually thrown on the ground, with yellow copper ore rolling out onto the ground.

"This is yellow copper ore?"

Caleb Manning froze instantly, his expression extremely shocked.

The cliff under which the Winged Tiger Tribe had lived for generations turned out to conceal such a treasure, yet the tribe only regarded it as ordinary stone.

No one had ever recognized it.

Caleb Manning’s thoughts were extremely complex. He already knew the use of yellow copper ore, which is said to be refined into copper to make very practical copper tools.

It was understandable that the tribe’s other members did not recognize it.

But why had he never heard Pearl Vance and Chloe Callahan mention it?

Pearl Vance and Chloe Callahan, like Luna Sutton, had received guidance from the Beast God, it made no sense that Luna Sutton knew but they did not.

Could it be undiscovered?

Luna Sutton was in the priest’s canopy and her mouth twitched upon hearing Jago’s booming voice.

She then lifted the curtain and walked outside.

Immediately she saw in the tribe’s open space, a mound of forty to fifty baskets and packs, all fully loaded with yellow copper ore, haphazardly piled, some of it scattered out.

Jago and the others had quietly transported back quite a lot earlier, all placed in the tribe’s designated warehouse.

These were all mined last night.

Luna Sutton quickly walked to the pile of yellow copper ore, squatted down and picked up a piece for a closer inspection.

In the sunlight, the ore gave off a golden red sheen, with the fracture showing dense metallic particles.

"The purity is good, better than expected."

Her fingers rubbed the surface of the ore, her lips curved into a faint smile.

Corbin Crowley stepped over, his silver eyes scanning the ore pile, his stern face showing a rare sign of satisfaction: "Luna, should we rebuild the furnace?"

"That’s a given, different ores require specific furnaces for refining and forging, with different required temperatures and specifications, though their structure is mostly similar."

She placed the yellow copper ore back and brushed the debris off her hands.

Then she looked at Corbin Crowley and continued: "Let’s build the red iron furnace according to the original plan, after these farm tools are made, build a new furnace specifically for yellow copper ore, malachite can be refined at that time as well."

Corbin Crowley nodded slightly, then turned to the beastmen carrying clay and said in a deep voice: "Clear out a spot in the southeast corner, prepare to build the furnace base."

More than a dozen beastmen immediately dropped what they were doing, picked up stone shovels and began clearing the area.

Stone fragments, weeds, and miscellaneous items quickly gathered aside, revealing the smooth yellow soil layer below.

Caelan Phoenix patted the dust off himself and suddenly walked over to Luna Sutton, lowering his voice: "Master, Chloe Callahan is really in the spotlight lately."

Lian Phoenix saw this and came over with a laugh: "Beastmen from several major tribes nearby are courting her, they’ve given enough gifts to fill half a room, it’s quite a joy."

Luna Sutton’s lips curved slightly, her peripheral vision catching Caleb Manning looking this way.

She deliberately raised her voice: "Appears she’s doing well?"

"Better than well."

Caelan Phoenix stroked his beard, "I hear the young master of the Raging Lion Tribe hunted a saber-toothed tiger himself to win her favor, even polished its teeth into bone hairpins for her."

"Cough, cough!"

Lian Phoenix suddenly coughed heavily.

Caleb Manning had unknowingly walked over, his golden eyes exceedingly dark.

He silently joined several beastmen to tidy up the disorderly items in the southeast corner.

Luna Sutton acted as if she hadn’t noticed Caleb Manning’s dark expression, nonchalantly turning: "Corbin, arrange for people to transport those yellow copper ores to the newly built warehouse."

"Okay."

Corbin Crowley nodded indifferently, and arranged beastmen to transport these yellow copper ores.

As dusk settled, the newly built smelting area was already complete.

When Luna Sutton entered, the sound of clanging surrounded her.

Caleb Manning was leading several beastmen in forging an anvil, his bronze-colored back glistening in the firelight.

His hammering was clean and nimble, each strike precisely hitting the glowing red iron block.

"He’s quite adept."

Kian Sterling followed her in, his beautiful fox eyes scanning Caleb Manning laboring in sweat, his warm voice carrying rare admiration.

Luna Sutton withdrew her gaze from Caleb Manning, her lips curving into a subtle smile: "The Winged Tiger Tribe’s top warrior, isn’t just a name."

For three days straight, the smelting area’s clanging was unending.

The first batch of iron farm tools were finally completed, twenty hoes, fifteen shovels, ten axes, and six large iron pots.

Luna Sutton lifted the newly forged kitchen knife, its edge gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

With a gentle slice, a thick rattan snapped with a crisp sound.
