He also planned to expand the store as well, and then when they are all done, he and Ji Wang would then begin the project of expanding the farm since they would be needing more food due to the influx of future tribesmen…

The den where the new beast cubs would live would also need some expanding because of Dara's intentions to breed several fearsome monstrous battle beast… They also knew they would need a miniature academy, a library, and a massive training area where the experts can let loose with abandon…

But they were really short on time which means they have to finish everything before the main construction of the new residences begin, but whilst that depends on how long it takes the troops to excavate the Qi Stones within the caves, their current manpower tells them they might only have about five to six weeks…

Furthermore, Uncle Min took this as some sort of challenge, and should he fail to finish up in time, he might as well hand over Aunt Lin to Dara in person, thus, there was a lot at stake and he had to come out on top this time…

Aunt Lin on the other hand had just left the den where she noticed that the beasts had ploughed one another for nonstop for the past two days as she moved over to where the marine beasts were to check on things…

Ji Long on the other hand had gathered everyone who was rescued from the Qi Stone farms and was already going about his tasks and was relieved to find out that they really took to everything he said and seemed to see him as a their representative within the tribe…

In less than twenty minutes, they were already sorting people out in different batches and after assuring them that they were not going to be separated, the group instantly began to move by themselves, each one of them moving towards the occupation group they knew they were most adept at…

There were Healers like the lady and those two girls who were joined by about another 50 people who were mostly females…

There were others who knew a thing or two about farming and there were about 100 of them; there was also about 50 people who knew a thing or two about blacksmith…

There were others who felt they could easily and quickly detect danger due to how sensitive their eyesight and ear was, and many even demonstrated by placing their ears against the ground and were able to roughly detect the amount of people moving from one part of the tribe to the other based on the vibrations of the earth...

These ones would be sent to the wall to serve as patrols and watch guards; there were those who were physically fit and could be used for construction labors, and just like that, Ji Long went about his task with a happy smile…

Min Hong on the other hand had gathered troop 3, but this time, he also included, the Second Obun Elder and Ji Chen, just in case they run into the Royal Guards who were sent to protect the destroyed cave…

In less than twenty minutes, they were all ready and out of the tribe as they marched stealthily taking another route entirely so as not to leave retraceable tracks which could lead the Royal Guards back to the tribe…

They started scouting about a mile before they reached the cave and when they arrived, they realized that the cave entrance was billowing with aggressive and intense heat... 

But after several attempts to investigate, they realized that they couldn't even stand about ten meters from the entrance of the cave without being roasted…

Thus Dara stood at a safe distance with a frown trying to figure out how to excavate the Qi Stones, and after a while of guessing, he decided to walk around the mountain, and after passing through thick bushes and thickets, he finally arrive at the opposite end to the entrance of the cave…

Dara cleared the area, and began to inspect their alternative method of excavating the Qi Stones as three men stood guard around him, watching for any incoming movements or threats…

After about half an hour of inspection, Dara clenched his palm into a fist and gathered every ounce of power he could muster as well at the remainder of the Dark Qi within his body into his fist, before sending a vicious punch at the mountain wall;

Bang!

Crack! Cracka! Gragra!

Boom!

A chunk of the mountain surface broke off and crashed to the ground as a bright but somewhat translucent black surface appeared, then Dara touched it, and other than the feeling of a warm energy seeping into his knuckles repairing the slight bruises on it, nothing else happened as Dara smiled and mumbled to himself;

"This seems like a good spot…" Then he returned to the front of the cave;

"Alright, it's time to head back home…" Dara commanded as the entire troop gathered around and left in a random direction…

But just as they left, the leaves of a tree around the area where Guard Chen and Liu were stationed, as a figure stepped out into the open;

"Good, now I have further proof to back up my theory… Who would have thought humans and Obuns could actually coexist without tearing each other apart?"

The figure said with a mischievous grin as he looked towards the path Dara's group just left through; this person was none other than the Left Grand Elder who had come to check if anyone would return to the cave as he has done yesterday and today…

But luckily for Dara, his position within the thick bush only gave him a view of the cave entrance and nothing else, and as a result, he didn't know what Dara had gone to do behind the mountain, and perhaps he went to take a shit or pee, he didn't know and didn't want to know…

The mere proof that people actually lived within this part of the jungle and that they had the nerves to attack the Qi Stone Farm was more than enough proof for his scheme…

Dara's group who had luckily escaped a tragic fate took their random route back home despite being an entire hour longer than normal, but they didn't mind; they had discovered what they were after, and it was time to go reinforce themselves and return with a lot of manpower and tool to begin excavation the next day…
