Chapter 258: Chapter 259: Stone Bricks
Upon entering the cave, they found that the stone walls and the ground inside had been polished to be extremely smooth. The resemblance to the blueprint was as high as ninety-nine percent!
After passing through a short corridor, there were already excavated stairs. The stairs had equal height and as Su Tang walked on them, she felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she was on the Blue Star following a tour group to visit an underground cave.
After descending the stairs, it suddenly got dark around her. Su Tang turned on her flashlight, otherwise, she couldn’t see anything.
The sound of claws scraping against rocks came from all directions, making one’s teeth feel uncomfortable.
"Yan Li! Come over, the holy lady has something to ask you!"
The Beastman who could pass through stone roared, the echo lingering in the underground cave for a long time.
Without waiting for a few seconds, Su Tang faintly saw a shadow approaching. She shone the flashlight over and sure enough, it was Yan Li.
Upon seeing Yan Li’s arrival, the Beastman who could pass through stone left alone.
"Chief, Saint Lady, what do you need?"
Su Tang said, "When you guys are excavating the cave, can you segment the mined stones into fixed shapes?"
Yan Li did not answer immediately, but asked cautiously, "What kind of shape are you referring to? If it’s simple, maybe I can do it, but if it’s too difficult, it might not be possible..." n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"It’s not difficult, the house in the blueprint. Think about it, the stone bricks for building the house, can you segment these stones into individual stone bricks?"
Yan Li closed his eyes and reviewed the blueprint in his mind.
Then he opened his eyes, nodded his head and said, "Yes, but if it’s just us, the process will be slow. Can I ask my tribesmen to help?"
Su Tang was speechless.
Normally, Gaiyin was in charge of personnel arrangements. Moreover, the tribe was now populated, and Su Tang was not particularly sensitive to numbers, so she really couldn’t command them.
Gaiyin stepped forward, nodded slightly, and asked indifferently, "How many Beastmen are there who know about the blueprint now?"
"Eighteen!"
Gaiyin nodded, "Very good, I will now divide you into seventeen teams, each team is led by a Beastman who knows the blueprint. Each team leader will select ten to fifteen Beastmen to assist in excavating the cave and cutting the stones into the bricks detailed in the blueprint. And you, you’re in charge of managing these seventeen Beastmen team leaders, and assigning their specific tasks. Any questions?"
Yan Li shook his head excitedly, seemingly very satisfied with Gaiyin’s arrangement!
Then Gaiyin continued, "Beastmen involved in excavating the cave needn’t go hunting anymore, but I want you to dig out at least two stone bricks from the cave within three days. Can you do it?"
Yan Li immediately straightened his back and replied confidently, "We can!"
Gaiyin patted Yan Li’s shoulder to encourage him, "Very good, I’ll leave this task to you. You can go and organize the manpower now."
Yan Li nodded excitedly and said "Yes, Chief!"
Then he turned to leave, faintly seeming ready to jump with joy while walking away.
From his departing figure, Su Tang could sense his excitement. It seemed as if he would have been able to fly if not for the mountain pressing down on him from above!
"Phew~"
Having settled another significant matter, Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
Gaiyin slightly chuckled and pinched Su Tang’s cheek, "Aren’t you usually very fierce? Why aren’t you talking when it matters? Are you scared?"
Su Tang slapped Gaiyin’s hand away, "Who’s scared? I just didn’t want to overshadow the prestige you have as a chief! That’s why I kindly gave the command to you!"
Gaiyin shook his head helplessly, "You..."
His tone was filled with an unspeakable indulgence.
