I ride a big black tiger and fly through the world of beasts

Chapter 146 Coal Mine

This was Chen Shiyue’s first time in Beifeng City. She was surprised to find that Beifeng City was a replica of Yao City. If she didn’t know that this was Beifeng City, she would have thought she was still in Yao City.

Houses are being built in the designated residential areas, and there are also many large tents. A sandy square similar to the one in Yaocheng has also been built in the city.

The orcs in the tribe were surprised to see their city lord coming with the wife of the city lord of Yaocheng.

"Hello, wife of the Lord of Yao City." An orc greeted warmly, and the other orcs followed suit. They had heard that the wife of the Lord of Yao City was not an ordinary female, but a smart and beautiful female. It seemed that their Lord treated her very differently.

Chiqiu and Di Bo held their heads high. Their sister Shiyue was respected wherever she went.

Madam of the Lord of Yaocheng City, why does Liefeng feel that this title is a bit harsh?

Chen Shiyue responded in a friendly manner: "Hello, everyone."

At this time, Lie Bai swam over and said, "City Lord, should I go with you?"

Liefeng shook his head and said, "No, you continue to fish for stones in the river."

The white snake nodded, moved its tongue in and out a few times, then turned around and swam away.

Liefeng took Chen Shiyue for a tour in Beifeng City and said a little embarrassedly: "I think Yaocheng is well built, so I made Beifeng City similar to Yaocheng."

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "It's pretty good. From a distance, I thought both sides were the same city."

Liefeng turned his head to look at the female's beautiful smile. Is this her wish?

Chen Shiyue said: "Lord Liefeng, the orcs in Beifeng City are very capable. They have built so many houses in such a short time."

Liefeng nodded and said, "The orcs and females in Beifeng City are very capable."

Chen Shiyue turned around and looked and said, "Strange, why don't I see any of your females?"

Liefeng said a little embarrassedly: "They are probably making animal skin clothes in the tent."

Chiqiu and Di Bo stared at Liefeng closely. They always felt that the Lord of Beifeng City was different from usual. He was usually so cold, but today he seemed to be very gentle. He even smiled at Sister Shiyue several times. The two young beastmen immediately felt alarmed. They had to keep an eye on Sister Shiyue. Sister Shiyue belonged to only the Lord of the City.

Chen Shiyue smiled, not really caring, and said, "Let's go take a look at the black stone now."

Liefeng immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay." His voice was soft and his eyes were gentle.

Xiong Li's body trembled slightly. Why did he feel that the city lord was weird today? He was not used to it.

Xiong Li was in front, Chi Qiu was in the middle, and Di Bo was at the end, and the group ran towards the mountain behind Beifeng City.

When they got to the mountain, Chen Shiyue discovered that due to the recent large-scale construction, there were not many big trees left in the forest behind Beifeng City. What remained were only small trees. There were many tree roots left on the ground. If there was an axe, these tree roots could be chopped into a lot of firewood. However, it seemed that there was no need for an axe. For example, her Yiyun could cut stones just like cutting wood.

Liefeng said, "The trees around here have been chopped down almost completely. We need to go a little further to chop trees now. This year's cold season should be easier to get through. I want the orcs to chop more wood so that they can make furniture when the cold season comes."

Chen Shiyue said: "The Lord of Liefeng City has a good idea."

Liefeng said: "Can you just call me Liefeng?"

Chen Shiyue said: "Calling you Lord of Liefeng City can better reflect your status."

Liefeng's eyes darkened. In her eyes, she and the orcs of Yaocheng were different after all.

Xiong Li: The city lord talked a lot today.

Chiqiu and Di Bo looked at Liefeng warily.

Liefeng looked at the two young beasts and a smile appeared on his lips.

Soon, they climbed over a low mountain and saw a connected hill. There were no tall trees on the hill, only short grass and small trees.

Liefeng pointed to a small gap and said, "Shiyue, look, that's the soil I asked the orcs to dig up. There are black stones in it."

Chiqiu ran over quickly, lay down, and waited for Chen Shiyue to climb down. Then he quickly turned into a human form, and Di Bo also turned into a human form. The two young beasts blocked the fierce wind intentionally or unintentionally.

Liefeng's mouth corners slightly raised. The two young beasts were on guard against him.

Chen Shiyue bent down, reached out and touched the black stone under the soil, and then looked at her fingers. It was black. Her heart beat wildly, and an answer was about to come out. Looking at the vegetation on this mountain, she suspected that the whole mountain was made of this mineral.

Chiqiu said: "Sister Shiyue, let me do whatever you want to do."

Chen Shiyue said: "Knock down a few small stones."

Then he said, "Di Bo, go pick up some dry branches and leaves, and let's make a fire."

Di Bo went there quickly.

Liefeng stood beside Chen Shiyue and said, "You want to burn this stone."

Chen Shiyue looked at Liefeng with admiration. Smart beasts are just different.

Chen Shiyue pretended to take something out of her pocket, but actually took out two flints from the space.

Liefeng stretched out his hand and said, "Let me do it."

Chen Shiyue placed two flints in Liefeng's palm.

When Chen Shiyue's fingers were about to touch Liefeng's palm, Liefeng's fingers moved slightly, as if he wanted to grab that white and tender little hand in his palm.

He pursed his lips, took two pieces of flint and walked towards the dry leaves that Di Bo had placed on the ground. He rubbed the two pieces of flint gently a few times, and sparks fell into the dry leaves. When the wind blew, the flames jumped up, and Di Bo quickly put some dry branches on them.

Chen Shiyue said: "Red ball, put the black stone on the fire."

Chiqiu immediately picked up a few pieces of black gravel and put them into the flames, and then several people stood aside and watched.

Gradually, the black stone began to turn red, becoming redder and redder, until it became as red as charcoal fire.

Chen Shiyue asked Di Bo to remove the branches, leaving only the stone, which still remained burning.

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "Lord Liefeng, this black stone is not an ordinary stone. It is called coal, and it can burn. It can be burned in the house and is more durable than firewood. However, there is one thing you must pay special attention to. When burning coal, you cannot burn it in a completely unventilated place. Otherwise, it may cause poisoning and death."

Liefeng withdrew his gaze from the burning stone and fell on the face of the female in front of him, wondering: "How do you know so much?"

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "This is my secret, I can't tell you. Chiqiu, it's ok, put out the fire, cover the burning coal with soil. If there is no soil, pour water on it and the coal will go out."

Chiqiu immediately dug some soil and buried the coal.

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "Lord Liefeng, have you thought about how to use this coal?"

Liefeng looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "You told me the use of coal, otherwise it would be useless stones here. I will listen to you on how to use this coal."

Chen Shiyue was surprised. Did he listen to her? She thought for a moment and said, "If you want to burn this coal, it's best to put it in a stone container. Although coal is good for burning fire, it will emit an invisible toxic gas. You must ensure ventilation. In the cold season, it's better to use coal. It doesn't need to be added frequently like firewood."

Liefeng said, "Is it okay to dig a hole in the stone, burn something inside the stone, and then put a stone pot on the stone to cook food?"

Chen Shiyue nodded and said, "It should be possible. You can give it a try. In the future, this coal can be used for trading, but now I have firewood to burn, so it may not be easy to trade it. Coal has other uses, but I haven't thought of it yet."

Liefeng said: "I will have the orcs deliver some coal to your residence. This is compensation for you telling me the use of coal."

Chen Shiyue nodded and smiled: "Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go back."

As soon as Chen Shiyue sat on Chiqiu's back, she heard a tiger roar from the sky, and then saw a large black-winged tiger coming from the sky, so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Yueyue." Yiyun transformed into a half-beast and carried his partner from Chiqiu's back into his arms, his voice filled with nervousness and grievance.

Chen Shiyue said in surprise: "Ayun, you are back, are you hurt?" She seemed to smell a smell of blood.

Yiyun shook his head and said, "It's just a minor injury." He looked at Liefeng and said in a bad tone, "City Lord Liefeng, don't bring other people's partners out in the future."

Liefeng smiled coldly and did not comment.
