The beasts went down to take a look, and although there were ventilation holes, it was still incredibly stuffy.
Luo Gan was used to living in a house, and now felt a bit breathless upon entering the earth hole.
"This earth hole is too stuffy, let’s build tents above ground to live in instead."
Ya Li erged from the earth hole last, taking a deep breath and said.
The beasts all agreed.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, the conditions in this desert are much different compared to the other continents. If we want to connect trade with the other continents, I’m afraid just establishing one base won’t be enough."
Ya Li approached Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan’s tent with a worried expression and plopped himself down on the Beast Skin mat.
Ji Nuan looked at him with a faint smile: "If it were simple, would I have kept you here?"
Ya Li imdiately scrunched up his handso face: "But there are no stones or blue clay here, we can’t possibly build a base using just this sand."
Ji Nuan nodded: "That’s indeed a very important issue, which is why we need Fu Yi’s help."
"Fu Yi’s help?" Ya Li twitched his mouth: "That’s too far away."
Ji Nuan chuckled: "Actually, it’s not too far. There is a very close route between us and the East Continent, but it’s sowhat dangerous. To gain Fu Yi’s assistance, we first need to eliminate that danger."
"Danger, are you talking about the Black Quicksand?" Ya Li frowned.
Ji Nuan nodded with a smile: "The Black Quicksand is not only dangerous, it’s also a treasure."
She then explained the function of the Black Quicksand to Ya Li: "The reason I thought of establishing a base is because of this Black Quicksand. We don’t know where the Black Quicksand cos from, but at least for now, it seems inexhaustible.
The burn ti and temperature produced by Black Quicksand are much higher than that of firewood. With the support of Black Quicksand, it will be much easier to craft iron tools in the future."
She glanced deeply in the direction of the Black Quicksand: "So, up until now, the place I value most is here, the Desert Continent. The Black Quicksand here is what I truly seek."
"Hehe, it seems the shaman values more. I told you, that little mink beast doesn’t look mighty at all, it’s not even as long as and not as smart as . Putting it in the East Continent is enough for it to flourish."
Having gained the shaman’s attention, a certain snake imdiately began to brag.
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Last ti when we left the Black Quicksand, we didn’t actually notice any creatures. Yet, a Snake Beast erged from the Black Quicksand over on the East Continent.
It was large and highly venomous, so first, we need to determine whether there’s just one of these Snake Beasts or many. If there are many... we’ll have to think of other strategies."
Ya Li nodded: "Shaman, leave this matter to Xiu Yan and ."
Xiu Yan gave him a disdainful look at these words but did not refuse: "Ya Li and I will go, it’s very dangerous there."
Ji Nuan nodded: "Go hunting tomorrow, prepare so food to bring along, and make sure to find out the truth. If possible..."
Ji Nuan picked up several sectional tree jars from beside her: "These contain Sharp Tooth Grass Powder, ensure your safety first, then bring back a Snake Beast."
Ya Li stretched out his arm and hugged the sectional tree jars into his arms, grinning so wide that his teeth showed: "Leave it to us."
