Shen Nong dug out the processed clay and began kneading and shaping it.
Because there is no filter, the soil feels quite rough and has a noticeable granular texture.
However, it is still possible to fire pottery jars and bowls, but they don't last long and the quality is not good.
Moreover, due to the fire, the damage rate of earthenware pots may be relatively high.
However, given the limited resources available, we'll burn a batch for emergency use first.
We'll fire higher-quality ones after the kiln is built later.
Shen Nong first demonstrated how to knead the jar, then let everyone in the Mu tribe who could do it try it out.
In the end, three people were chosen, all of whom were veterans of the gathering team. They could sculpt quite well after watching only once, and Shen Nong was ready to graduate after teaching them twice.
This isn't difficult; it's easy to get started. If it were a bottle, it wouldn't be so easy to succeed.
After mastering the clay modeling, Shen Nong began teaching the Wood Tribe how to make fire by rubbing sticks together.
Hu Xiao was the first to try, but despite his strength, he couldn't quite get the hang of it.
You can smell the smoke, but you can't see any firelight.
Just as Tiger Roar was "fighting" with the drilling tools, Rabbit Wind from the guard rushed over, shouting, "Priest, something bad has happened! Sheep Thunder and Sheep Lightning are injured!"
Chapter 5 The Boy
You protect me (repair)
When Hu Xiao heard that the two were injured, he assumed it was the work of the Ze tribe.
After all, their Wood Tribe had been bullied by other tribes a lot because they didn't have a priest.
Being injured by other tribes happens almost every day.
Although the Ze tribe didn't do anything to them, they didn't give them a friendly look either.
However, Hu Xiao only thought of sending the Ze tribe back because they had never attacked them before. He didn't expect that the other party would show their true colors this time.
The old folks often say that they used to live in Beast City, the place where the Beast God descended.
Beast City possesses countless treasures and divine beast warriors.
Divine Beast Warrior is the highest rank among orc warriors.
They can even command the wind and rain, which is the aspiration of every orc.
Tiger Roar couldn't imagine what the Wood Tribe's life in Beast City was like before, but it certainly wasn't like this now.
The cannibals would come and kidnap people at any time, and the Salt Tribe would not sell them salt stones. Other tribes would also choose to plunder the Wood Tribe when they were short of food and clothing.
Now the Ze tribe has also gotten involved. They kindly sent people back, but they were injured!
Hu Xiao was seething with anger, like a tiger with its fur standing on end.
Their Wood Tribe now has a priest bestowed by the Beast God, and he must train even harder to ensure a successful advancement in beast form before winter arrives.
We can't let the priests be looked down upon as well.
He must become amazing!
...
When Shen Nong arrived, the two brothers were lying in a thatched hut. There was nothing inside, just a place made of straw to shelter them from the rain in the summer.
Although the days are long in summer, it gets dark at this time of year.
The thatched hut was completely dark, with no light inside.
Only after Tu Feng brought over the guards' torches to provide light did Shen Nong get a clear look at the two men's injuries.
The two brothers, Yang Lei and Yang Dian, were seriously injured. One had a bloody hole in his thigh, and the other had a stone embedded in his shoulder.
But their wounds were covered with a layer of dirt because the blood kept flowing, washing away the blood and mud around the wounds.
Shen Nong guessed that their intention in covering the wound with soil was to stop the bleeding.
What amazed me even more was the orc's vitality; despite suffering such severe injuries and losing so much blood, and with the wounds becoming infected after being covered with soil, they were still alive.
If this injury had been on him, he probably wouldn't have survived an hour.
At this moment, Tu Dong came in from outside the thatched hut, carrying a large leaf filled with soil, seemingly intending to apply soil to the two men's wounds.
When Tu Dong saw Shen Nong, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Priest."
Shen Nong glanced at the soil in her hand and said, "Don't put soil on wounds when people are injured in the future, it will make them more injured."
Rabbit Winter was somewhat troubled, "But Niu Yi said that the old priest used this method to stop his wound from bleeding, and he recovered in no time."
Shen Nong thought to herself, "Was it because of the soil? Or was it just that the ox was incredibly lucky?"
Superstitiously speaking, it's because your beast god wouldn't accept him. Scientifically speaking, it's because his immune system was so strong that it survived on his own.
So what does it have to do with soil? Absolutely nothing!
Tiger Roar, listening from the side, sternly thought, "His life was saved by the current priest. More importantly, the priest came from the Beast God's side."
Can the priest be wrong?
That's definitely right.
He listened to the priest now, whatever the priest said went. "Tu Dong, Niu Yi is very old, so old that he's about to meet the Beast God. Maybe he remembered wrong, otherwise why haven't we been able to save people using this method before?"
Shen Nong thought to herself, "I know the answer to this question because your physical condition is definitely not as good as before, and you didn't make it through."
Tu Dong pursed her lips, thought about it carefully, and realized that Hu Xiao was right.
If what Niu Yi said really worked, then her father wouldn't have bled to death.
"But if we don't do this, what other way can we prevent them from bleeding?" Tu Dong thought of her father, who had died from excessive bleeding, and felt sad. "If we don't stop them, they will die."
This is the primitive era; we don't have the advanced technologies for quick hemostasis found in interstellar space.
Shen Nong knew the system was unreliable and wouldn't help these two.
Fortunately, the crystal core repair fluid provided by the system was very effective, and his crystal core was almost completely repaired in a short period of time.
Wood-based abilities have a certain healing effect; otherwise, he could only clean the wound and leave it to fate.
However, he is currently only at the first level of superpower, but he can still alleviate some of the pain for the two of them and stop the bleeding, so that they will at least not die from excessive blood loss.
"First, use hot stones to get some hot water." There's no alcohol here, not even low-concentration liquor. The tap water has too many bacteria; we can only boil it.
Hu Xiao reacted the fastest. As soon as Shen Nong finished speaking, he went to prepare to burn stones and prepare hot water.
Shen Nong didn't have to wait long before Hu Xiao, carrying the still bubbling stone pot, ran into the thatched hut.
Despite his extremely thin physique, as the leader of the hunting team, he is indeed very strong.
Shen Nong tore off the tattered cloth hanging from her trouser leg, cleaned it with hot water, and then cleaned the wounds of the Yang Lei and Yang Dian brothers.
While cleaning, I explained that if we encounter this situation again in the future, even if he can't get there in time, the wound can still receive basic treatment.
“There are many things in the soil that we cannot see with our eyes. They can make the wound worse and may even cause death.”
"To treat the wound in the future, you can wash the animal hide with hot water, then clean the wound with the animal hide, and finally apply herbs that can stop the bleeding."
Shen Nong emphasized again, "Just don't use soil."
Tu Dong listened attentively to every word Shen Nong said. When she heard the word "herbs," she became quite excited and asked, "Priest, will we have herbs that can stop bleeding in the future?"
Only the priests of large tribes know which herbs can be used to stop bleeding, and the high priest of the Beast City can even use herbs grown by heaven and earth to cure diseases.
Shen Nong nodded immediately when Tu Dong asked this question.
Although he is engaged in plant research, he also knows quite a lot about herbs.
He studied them as if they were plants. "Of course."
Speaking of this, Shen Nong thought that she should collect some usable herbs and put them in the tribe for emergencies.
Tu Dong felt a longing in her heart; she wished she could also learn to identify herbs from the priest.
However, she also knew that this was impossible, because apart from the next priest, no one else could learn anything from the priest.
Shen Nong spent a lot of effort cleaning up the dirt, and when he removed the stone embedded in Yang Dian's shoulder, his trouser leg was almost completely torn to shreds.
Successfully transformed from battle-damaged trousers into refreshing wide-leg capri pants.
After treating the wound, he began to use his supernatural abilities to stop the bleeding.
The pale green light resembled newly sprouted green shoots in spring, carrying boundless vitality.
The faint light covered the deep, bone-revealing wound, and the blood flow slowly stopped. As the light covered the wound for longer, layer upon layer of new flesh covered the bone that was visible to the naked eye.
Shen Nong had reached the limit of her superpowers; sweat streamed down her forehead, some of it pooling on her beautiful, delicate collarbone.
He casually pulled up his collar to wipe away the sweat, then tore his cool capri pants into shorts to bandage their wounds.
"These two should not move around unnecessarily. Call me if you need anything."
One of the aftereffects of overusing superpowers is falling into a coma. He was still able to hold on, so he left the thatched hut and went back to his cave.
Therefore, no fear or joy was observed on the faces of the three people.
The three people inside the thatched hut were barely daring to breathe, but after Shen Nong left, they sat down on the ground due to excessive tension.
Tiger Roar asked as if to confirm what he had seen, "Priest...Priest just used the power of the Beast God, am I not mistaken?"
Rabbit Wind and Rabbit Winter said in unison, "It is the power of the Beast God."
They couldn't possibly be mistaken, because they had been utterly defeated by the power of the Beast God and had fled all the way to this remote region.
This is a power that only the highest-ranking priests possess; their priests even have the power of the Beast God!
That's wonderful!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Their priests are close to the Beast God, so it's normal for them to possess the Beast God's power.
The cave had been sprinkled with mugwort water, and a small bundle of mugwort was placed next to his animal skin.
There's no need to worry about mosquitoes tonight.
However, the animal hide was really hard, and Shen Nong didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that after a night on the animal hide, the indescribable strange smell had become even stronger, hitting him right in the head.
