Chapter 906: Chapter 895: Beastman Plane 13

"Maybe you’re right, I’ll go find some wood tomorrow, build a simple house. It looks like we won’t be going out with them anymore." Yan Mo thought with winter approaching, based on the System’s hints, the winters here were very cold. Living in a cave would not keep them warm and lacked secrecy; anyone coming in could see everything inside. With a house, once they close the door, even if they don’t have warm beast skins, they could still cover themselves with cotton blankets without worrying about being seen.

The caves here were nothing like the ones on the loess plateau of Blue Star that had insulation and ventilation, because during winter the temperature was extremely low, and they couldn’t keep a fire burning constantly for warmth.

Since the caves had poor ventilation, keeping the door closed and burning firewood could lead to a buildup of carbon dioxide, causing them to suffocate to death.

"Then I’ll go with you, two people will get it done faster," Xia Yue said.

"Ziluo and I will work on turning the hemp you gathered into cloth," Wei Se said.

"Okay," Ziluo agreed.

After discussing what needed to be done the next day, they had digested their food, and it was getting late, so everyone went to their respective places to sleep.

Early the next morning, the four of them got up and secretly brushed their teeth with toothpaste and toothbrushes, then ate the breakfast they had brought with them.

Yan Mo and Xia Yue went into the nearby mountain forest to find suitable wood for building a house.

"Are we building the house entirely out of wood, or should we use some stones and mud bricks too?" Xia Yue asked Yan Mo.

"A wooden house won’t do, I can’t guarantee it’ll be airtight. We should use mud bricks with some stones, the roof made of wood, and top it with reeds or mud. As long as it doesn’t rain, it should be fine," Yan Mo had already thought it through the night before.

"What about snow? Won’t it be a problem?" Xia Yue asked.

"It won’t be a problem," Yan Mo shook his head.

"Okay," Xia Yue nodded.

Since they weren’t building a wooden house, they quickly picked out wood suitable for the roof.

Seeing no one around, they used their Spiritual Power to process the wood, not wasting the other branches either, as they could be used for firewood in the winter.

Because there was too much wood, both of them could only drag it back in batches.

On the way back and forth, they inevitably encountered Tribe Beastmen who saw them hauling the wood and assumed they were preparing for winter heating.

A kind-hearted Sub-Beastman saw Xia Yue handling so much wood alone and wanted to help, but Xia Yue refused, as it was an easy task for her.

In just one morning, they had brought all the wood back and left it to dry in the sun.

To build a house on the tribe’s land, they had to speak to the Master, so Yan Mo, before lunchtime, went to find the Clan Leader to explain the situation.

Clan Leader Hu Teng was surprised to hear that Yan Mo wanted to build a house; he had never seen a house before.

After asking Yan Mo about it, Yan Mo discussed it with him briefly and even drew a simple plan on the ground, listing the advantages of having a house.

Clan Leader Hu Teng thought it sounded too troublesome, preferring to live in a cave, worried that heavy snow might collapse the house, making it impossible to survive the winter, and advised Yan Mo not to exert himself too much.

But Yan Mo had already made up his mind, and with the wood already gathered, he was definitely not going to give up.

Seeing him not giving up, Clan Leader Hu Teng agreed to let him build the house, as long as it didn’t obstruct the other Beastmen.

Yan Mo promptly agreed, thanked the Clan Leader, and then left.

Yan Mo found a flat area not far from their current cave, marked it, and went back to tell Xia Yue and the others.

Wei Se, Xia Yue, and Ziluo were aware of the spot, just under five hundred meters from their cave. It was a bit isolated, but it suited them perfectly, so they agreed to build there.

To ensure the house was built before winter set in, they planned to construct a three-bedroom one-hall house. Xia Yue, Ziluo, and Wei Se would stay in the large rooms, Yan Mo in a smaller one, and there’d be a kitchen and a dining room.

Once they had decided on the house’s design, they started gathering the other materials.
