Chapter 515: Earth Lumps

Ying Fei and Bu Lun exchanged a glance, suddenly recalling the house they lived in when they were in the Snow Moon Tribe.

"Chief..."

Bu Lun, who could never keep his words to himself, stood up.

The Dong Sang Chief, hearing that, looked at him, his eyes lighting up instantly: "Right, you and Ying Fei went to the Snow Moon Tribe, didn't you? Is it really as good as they say?"

Speaking of the feces and urine littering his own homeland, and then recalling the Snow Moon Tribe's cleanliness, Bu Lun's old face reddened involuntarily.

"Chief, the Snow Moon Tribe was just set up by Shaman Wu Yue and his people."

The Dong Sang Chief waved his hand to interrupt him: "Of course I know that; I'm asking whether the Snow Moon Tribe is really clean, and whether everyone lives in houses better than stone houses."

Speaking of houses, Bu Lun gave a hehe laugh and puffed out his chest: "The Snow Moon Tribe has no smell of feces and urine, because they have a room called a toilet, and when tribe members need to relieve themselves, they go to that room."

It is said that tribe members who dare to relieve themselves casually outdoors will be punished by the tribe.

Moreover, the houses they live in are made of earth.

"Earth!"

Everyone in the cavern exclaimed in unison.

"How could a house made of earth be sturdy? It would collapse in the next rain."

"Yeah, and earth is so loose, you can't pile it up high at all."

The crowd chattered, Bu Lun also scratched his head, not knowing how to explain this; when he had lived in the Snow Moon Tribe before, his favorite thing had been their food, so he had never seriously asked about these houses.

Looking at his bewildered companions, Ying Fei helplessly raised a hand to his forehead: "Let me explain."

Upon hearing that, the crowd fell silent again; Bu Lun gave Ying Fei a grateful glance and hurriedly sat back properly in his seat.

Ying Fei rose and continued: "Their houses are made of earth, but that earth is mixed with dry grass to resemble stone; lumps about the length of a forearm are dried in the sun, then they use earth to place these earth lumps together one by one until they are piled up into a house."

When Bu Lun and I were in the Snow Moon Tribe, we were assigned to a already-built house; upon moving in, fearing that the earth‑lump house might collapse, we secretly gave it a knock, and even Bu Lun couldn't knock it down.

The Dong Sang Chief straightened his back, his face full of awe: "Being able to build houses from earth lumps must be due to Shaman Wu Yue's sorcery; otherwise earth couldn't be piled that high, nor could it be solid enough that even a Beastman Warrior couldn't break it open."

The other tribal chiefs also nodded in unison, their respect for Shaman Wu Yue of the Snow Moon Tribe growing deeper.

Even Ying Fei, who had repeatedly stolen the Snow Moon Tribe's techniques, now felt his heart filled with awe for Wu Yue.

He didn't tell his clan chief that, when Bu Lun and Shaman Wu Yue left the Snow Moon Tribe to steal herbs, he also tried to knock on that house, but it only shed some sand and earth, yet still did not collapse.

"Bu Lun, this time when you go to the Snow Moon Tribe, be sure not to do anything that would displease Shaman Wu Yue, understand?"

Bu Lun solemnly nodded, glanced furtively at Ying Fei's twitching mouth, Xin Zhongguo secretly smiling, yet his face remained serious as he said: "Yes, Chief."

The honest Bu Lun didn't realize that, although his face showed no change, the smile in his eyes leaked out.
