Candied roots

Seeing Jian Mo's expression, Wu Jiong asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong, and lowered her voice as well. "I was thinking, if the fighting arena can be built, besides holding the Summer Harvest Festival in our tribe this year, the Hunting Gathering might also be held in our tribe."

Jian Mo: "Our tribe should really be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mengshui Tribe now."

In terms of both overall strength and influence, the Riverside Tribe has caught up.

Chapter 146 Pulled Silk

The Riverside Tribe has little lime and cement left.

After taking stock of the materials, they burned lime and cement again.

Once all the materials were ready, everyone prepared to build the fighting arena.

Other tribes, upon hearing the news, rushed over to help.

"You wanted to build this fighting arena because of the kids, so we'll definitely do our part."

"That's right, since you won't accept our supplies, then let us help you out."

"Our Mengshui Tribe has experience and can help with the design and construction."

"Our Ice River Tribe is strong; leave the moving and lifting to us."

"Get out of here! It's not like some tribe isn't strong. We're all very strong, okay?"

The people of the Riverside Tribe were very touched that everyone was willing to come and help, and they accepted their assistance.

Meanwhile, the Riverside Tribe provides breakfast and dinner to those who help, and works hard every day to cook a variety of delicious foods so that everyone can eat their fill.

The people who came to help were more satisfied, and they put even more effort into the construction.

The people of the Mengshui Tribe are indeed experienced.

The Riverside Tribe originally only wanted to build a small fighting arena, Mengshui Tribe carefully explained to them what size the beasts of each tribe could grow to, how much strength they could have, what kind of materials they needed, and how big the fighting arena needed to ensure the safety of the fighters and the audience.

The people of the Riverside Tribe listened to the advice and revised the design plan again and again.

During this period, the Riverside Tribe did not have enough stone to meet their needs.

The various tribes also contributed their accumulated stones, Riverside Tribe tried to exchange for, but the other tribes refused.

The kids still need to come to class, so bring more materials. Later, the Riverside Tribe won't be able to refuse their kids because of this.

The arena took more than ten days to build.

After the arena was built, everyone stood in front of the circle of stone chairs, looking at the huge, concave arena in front of them, and fell silent.

"Isn't this a gladiatorial arena?"

"This scale, this shape, this level of detail—if your Riverside Tribe were to carve some patterns on the stone, it would be even more... impressive than the arena of the Mengshui Tribe."

"It seems like even without carvings, this arena is... well, bigger than the Mengshui Tribe, right?"

"Hmm, it's a bit bigger, and it's newer."

As they talked, everyone turned to look at the people from the Mengshui Tribe.

Yun Long remained silent, and the expressions on the faces of the Mengshui Tribe were also indescribable.

De Jiang looked around and patted Yun Long on the shoulder.

The construction of this competition platform was truly a hard-working undertaking for the people of the Mengshui Tribe.

Wu Jiong was very satisfied with the newly built arena. He patted Yun Long on the shoulder and said, "Thank you all for your help. If you need to use the arena in the future, just let us know."

"Haha, that's settled then. Sometimes we really get the urge to try it."

"If you get bored while picking up the kids, you can come over and play a couple of games."

"Could the kids take classes here? It would be very convenient to instruct them in combat here."

"It can also guide young orcs and sub-orcs; sometimes it's really hard to be completely uninhibited when guiding them in the wild."

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll come to you to borrow the arena if we need it."

Jian Mo listened from the side and felt that their tribe had built a sports field rather than a gladiatorial arena.

However, it seems there's not much difference. The arena is just a sports field for orcs and sub-orcs to engage in activities. After all, the beast forms of different tribes are different, so they can't compete in things like running.

Fighting is practically the core strength of every tribe.

The Riverside Tribe have gained a new arena, and apart from the Mengshui Tribe being somewhat annoyed, the other tribes are quite happy.

Now the kids have a place to fight, instead of fighting in private.

The kids were quite happy too; they didn't have to worry about being criticized for fighting in the arena, and they could finally fight freely.

The little ones look cute, but they're actually quite aggressive.

Both orcs and sub-orcs have their own unique skills in fighting.

One day, Jian Mo saw Jiang Xing fighting with a big cat.

Jiang Xing, a small orc, rode on the big cat and punched it so hard that the cat's nose almost bled.

Jian Mo finally understood that Jiang Xing's ability to become the leader of the group of youngsters was not due to his relatively older age; he was genuinely strong.

Jian Mo has redefined my understanding of the little ones.

When the little ones hopped and skipped up to him that day, he thought they were about to fight.

Unexpectedly, the little ones ran over, looked up at Jian Mo, and asked, "Jian Mo, the Wood-Stabilizing Root ripe, when are you going to dig it up?"

I've been quite busy these past few days, and Jian Mo really hadn't noticed. "Is it almost cooked? I'll go check."

The cubs nodded in agreement. Jiang Xing said, "The leaves of the Wood-Stabilizing Root are starting to turn yellow. We dug it up, and the roots underneath the soil have grown quite large."

The kitten Banjiu, stood up on its hind legs, spread its paws, and gestured to Jian Mo: "It's this big--"

Jian Mo looked at the kitten's furry face, so serious, as it stretched out its paws with all its might, and couldn't help but smile, "Then I have to go see if it's really that big?"

Upon hearing his words, the children immediately tugged at his clothes and trouser legs. "Jian Mo, are you going now?"

"That seems like a good idea," Jian Mo nodded, smiling as she said, "Let's go then."

The little ones skipped and hopped ahead, leading the way, jumping over the stones in the river to reach the fields on the other side.

After the summer breeze subsided, Jian Mo and the others pulled out the wooden stakes from the field and piled them on both sides of the field.
