Although Zuo Chi didn't think that there would be anyone in Freljord who would attack the Avarosa tribe at this point in time, it was always necessary to be prepared.
Zuo Chi was going to Luxiang Mountain. Whether it was for his plan to win over the ancient demigod or to get a handy weapon, he needed to visit the demigod Ornn.
Ornn is the oldest and most powerful of all the Old Gods in Freljord. Zuo Chi has long wanted to visit him.
At the same time, Zuo Chi also had some selfish thoughts, that is, Braum's current actions with the members of the Avarosa tribe might lay the foundation for him to join the Avarosa tribe in the future.
When Bron heard Zuo Chi's request, he nodded without any hesitation.
"No problem, my friend, don't worry, with Braum here, no one can get close to the Avarosa tribe!"
Amid the sound of Bron's dull heartbeat, Zuo Chi and Bron smiled at each other, and their fists collided heavily.
After arranging accommodation for Braum, Zuo Chi came to his and Ashe's room.
Ashe smiled sweetly at Zuo Chi who walked into the room: "Zuo Chi, where on earth did you get so much gold and Zhenbing? Oh, yes, and aged wine!"
Zuo Chi came to Ashe, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Bron and I are going to kill the plains trolls."
Gently stroking Ashe's back, Zuo Chi told her everything from how he left the Avarosa tribe and went to the Monster Ranch to slaughtering the trolls.
Ashe sat on Zuo Chi's lap. The more she listened, the more surprised she became. At the same time, the look in her eyes as she looked at Zuo Chi became brighter and brighter.
She put her arms around Zuo Chi's neck and said coquettishly, "If you continue like this, our Avarosa tribe will probably become like those countries in the south, and you will be the one in charge."
Zuo Chi raised his hand and scratched Ashe's nose, then said with a smile:
"I have no interest in being in power right now. Besides, my wife is more experienced in managing a large tribe, or even the entire Freljord in the future."
Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ashe couldn't help but blush and purse her lips. She leaned close to Zuo Chi's ear and whispered:
"You have done so much for the tribe, what reward do you want? As a war mother, you should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments."
Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows, then put his face close to Ashley and closed his eyes.
Ashe looked at Zuo Chi's face that was so close to her, and after a moment of hesitation, she lowered her head and pecked him on the mouth several times.
"Bobobobo~~"
After a while, the two separated. Ashe was a little evasive when facing Zuo Chi's gaze. She was afraid that Zuo Chi would do something stupid in broad daylight again.
Having sex in broad daylight is not what a wise war mother should do.
"correct."
Zuo Chi suddenly asked, "Are all the things that Ashe asked the tribe members to prepare ready?"
"Yeah." Hearing Zuo Chi asking about the business, Ai Xi nodded.
Ashe naturally knew that the "things to be prepared" that Zuo Chi mentioned referred to an empty tent, some crop seeds, and animal feces collected from the snowfield.
Although Ashe didn't know what Zuo Chi was going to do, she still asked people to prepare it as soon as possible.
"I'll take you!"
As he spoke, Ai Xi jumped off Zuo Chi's legs, took his hand and walked out of the room.
Soon, the two came to a tent at the back of the camp. Due to Zuo Chi's previous instructions, nothing was placed in the tent, and the animal feces were placed on one side of the tent.
The tent was large and contained nothing except the rocky ground from which the snow had been cleared, which was all that was needed for Zuo Chi.
"Zuo Chi, what are you doing here?" Standing beside Zuo Chi, Ashe asked curiously.
Zuo Chi smiled and nodded: "If I can succeed, then the tribe can also harvest food in winter. If I hand over the method to the Winter Claw, it will probably reduce a lot of wars."
"what!"
After hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ashe was stunned, her ice-blue eyes filled with disbelief.
As the war mother of the Avarosan tribe and someone who dreams of unifying the entire Freljord, Ashe knows better than anyone what Zuo Chi's words mean.
In this frozen land of the far north, if sufficient food could be obtained even in winter, wars would undoubtedly be reduced to a minimum.
After all, most of the wars that take place on the continent of Freljord every day, almost two-thirds of them, are due to material disputes.
"Zuo Chi, is there really such a method?" Ashe still couldn't believe it.
You know, even Ashe's ancestors, the Ice Sisters, had never done such a thing. At most, they could only grow crops in the warm season of Freljord, but Zuo Chi said it was no matter what season!
Zuo Chi winked at Ai Xi and said, "We have to try it anyway."
As he spoke, Zuo Chi slowly raised his right hand, and at the same time, an ochre-colored light began to emerge in his hand.
"Boom! Kakaka!"
Ashe's body shook slightly, and then she saw that the rocks that made up the ground instantly broke into pieces under Zuo Chi's control and slowly floated up.
It was this power again, the one Ashe had seen him use when she first met Zuo Chi, a strange magic that could manipulate rocks.
The ochre-yellow light in Zuo Chi's hand became more and more intense, and the rocks that had already been broken into fist-sized pieces broke again, gradually turning into the form of sand.
Just as Zuo Chi was crushing the rocks into powder, he also crushed the beast feces that he had prepared long ago and mixed it with the sand.
After doing all this, Zuo Chi had successfully reclaimed the original rocky ground in the tent into a very fertile land.
"!!!"
The flames used to illuminate the tent kept jumping, and Ashe witnessed everything Zuo Chi had just done from beginning to end. She seemed to know what Zuo Chi was going to do.
Next, Zuo Chi walked into the tent holding a huge snowball from outside the tent, and then the blazing power of ascension flashed in his hands.
The snowballs quickly melted into water and were evenly spread on the reclaimed land. At the same time, Zuo Chi planted the seeds of various crops that he had prepared long ago into the soil at intervals.
Here, fertile soil, water, and seeds are all ready, and only two key elements are left for the seeds to successfully germinate.
Temperature and light.
Zuo Chi had to admit that this was indeed a difficult problem for him, but it was not without a solution.
Once upon a time, Zuo Chi poured the power of ascension into stones and burned them into gems as bright as glass, and now he can still use this method.
It’s just that the amount of ascension power required is much greater than before.
But he hasn't acquired Maokai's ability yet. Before he finds a suitable light source, he can only try this method.
Holding a stone the size of a human head in his hand, Zuo Chi's ascension power began from his shoulders and poured into the stone along his arm little by little.
Soon, under the influence of the power of ascension, the stone began to shrink and gradually became transparent and clear. Zuo Chi had stopped at this step before, and he could get a gem to exchange for his and Ahri's travel expenses.
But now, Zuo Chi is still infusing the power of ascension into the stone.
Gradually, the originally clear and transparent stone began to be filled with dazzling light and began to radiate scorching heat to the outside world.
Ashe was standing next to Zuo Chi, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
After an unknown amount of time, Zuo Chi slowly stopped infusing the power of ascension and let out a long sigh.
At this time, Zuo Chi already had a piece of hot stone emitting a bright light in his hand.
The light is not dazzling, but it can completely illuminate the entire tent. The heat is not too high, but it is just enough to keep a comfortable temperature in the tent.
Turning around and walking to the center of the tent, Zuo Chi hooked the gem with a metal frame and hung it in mid-air.
After doing all this, Zuo Chi returned to Ashe.
"I haven't found the right material to provide heat and light for the tent yet, so I'll use this as a substitute for now, but I'll try to find it as much as possible."
"Zuo Chi."
Beside Zuo Chi, Ashe looked at the tent, which had now become an independent system, with a dazed look on her face.
Ashe was sure that the environment in the tent at this moment was even more suitable for growing food than the warm season in Freljord!
Zuo Chi looked at Ash's cute and silly look, and couldn't help but raised his hand and touched her forehead.
"Wife, how is it, is it okay?"
This is more than just okay. It's amazing!
But there is a drawback, that is, only Zuo Chi can do all this.
Whether it's the strange ability to control rocks, or the magic of infusing one's own power into rocks.
Ashe looked up at Zuo Chi, her eyes full of surprise and admiration: "Zuo Chi, how come you know everything?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zuo Chi had to admit that this kind of admiring look from his wife could really have a huge killing power on any man.
"Let's wait for a while."
Zuo Chi raised his hand and pinched Ai Xi's cheek: "I planted some of each crop, so I can take this opportunity to select the types that mature the fastest and have the strongest resistance."
"Yeah, yeah, it's all up to you!"
Ashe nodded rapidly, and at the same time kept looking at everything in the tent.
After solving the problem of crops, Zuo Chi was finally able to focus on his work.
Taking Ashley's hand, Zuo Chi said softly, "Aishley, I may need to leave for a while."
"what?"
Ashe, who was originally full of joy, the joy on her face disappeared completely the moment she heard Zuo Chi's words.
"You just got back, and there's nothing else in the tribe that requires you to go out, so just stay in the tribe. We can also observe the growth of these crops together."
Zuo Chi sighed softly: "It's not the tribe's business, it should be considered my personal matter."
"What do you mean by your private affairs?"
Ashe frowned and stared at Zuo Chi with an unhappy look: "You are my blood ally, so your business is naturally my business. Speak now!"
Zuo Chi took Ai Xi's hand and did not hide anything from her. After all, she was his wife and should know his whereabouts.
"I want to find the God of Fire and Forging!"
"what!?"
Hearing this, Ai Xi's eyes widened. She had to admit that everything Zuo Chi did seemed to be beyond the scope of normal people.
"The God of Fire and Forging has not appeared in Freljord for a long, long time. Some even say that he has merged with the magma under the earth."
Knowing that there was no way to stop Zuo Chi, Ashe began to search his mind for information related to Ornn.
"There are some furnace owners in the tribe. It seems that their ancestors were believers of the God of Fire and Forging. However, those believers seemed to have died in the war between demigods."
"Luxiang Mountain is located in the northwest of the tribe. The mountain is very high and black."
