Soon, they suffered the consequences.
Because the crinoline of Ai Wei's cake skirt was too big, it got stuck on the sharp branches and she couldn't walk fast.
Xia's skirt was too long. The pure white precious fabric was not only stained with earthy color by the mud, but also a bit of a hindrance.
With no other choice, she could only let Duomi cut off the excess part, exposing her white thighs directly to the outside world.
By reducing the amount of fabric, the originally dignified evening dress was turned into a cool style.
He didn't dare to look at her any more, but just said silently in his heart: "It's a pity that she hasn't grown up yet. It would be better if she was wearing a bikini."
After their pace quickened significantly, they soon heard the sound of gurgling water. When they pushed aside the dense leaves of the rain forest, a stream came into view.
"We found a water source! Great!"
"Shh!"
Before Xia and Ai Wei could celebrate, Domi covered their mouths respectively:
"Don't talk, just look there."
The two women looked in the direction Domi pointed, and saw a strange and ugly four-legged creature lying by the stream drinking water.
Its entire body was covered with dark green scales, and it had no tail. Its limbs were too thin compared to normal wild beasts, and it seemed to have thick sideburns like a lion on the back of its head. Its dark face was full of wrinkles, and its facial features could not be seen at all.
The three retreated back into the grove, and Domi asked, "You are well-informed, do you know what this thing is?"
Xia and Ai Wei both shook their heads.
"That's a creature unique to this island. Don't act rashly. Observe its habits first."
The four-legged beast didn't notice the human hiding in the dark and observing it. It just drank water by itself. After it was full, it left and walked into the depths of the jungle with its uncoordinated limbs.
Domi didn't notice anything else, but he just thought its raised butt looked so much like a human's.
He didn't pursue it further.
"There's no danger for now..."
When he came near the stream, Domi squatted down and picked up a few stones. He picked up a stone, looked at it for a few seconds, knocked it, and then put it down, repeating this process over and over again.
Neither of them understood what Domi was doing.
"Look for limestone, which is essential for making concrete and is usually found where there is water flowing."
Limestone?
concrete?
Oh! Isn't that what we use when building a house?
They were not stupid and they quickly understood Domi's intention.
Xia was a little unsure and asked, "Domi, you are not going to build a house on the island, are you?"
Domi shook his head: "A house is not necessary, just a simple but sturdy shelter."
"The mud house that my eldest brother made with magic is not solid at all. If we encounter a rainstorm overnight, his magic power will not be able to support it, and we will all be frozen to death in the middle of the night."
They thought what Domi said made sense, so they started to carry the stones to Domi. They couldn't tell what limestone was, so they had to let Domi do it for them.
After a period of investigation, Domi determined that the limestone content here was sufficient for them to build a shelter. The next task was to transport as much limestone as possible back to the coconut grove.
There are weird creatures here that come to drink water, so you can't build your home here to avoid being attacked.
As for how to transport it, Domi already had an idea.
He cast necromancy and used the ashes as a medium to summon the three warriors of the Night Villa.
It has to be said that their texture and temperament have undergone earth-shaking changes after evolving into golden quality, and each one seems to be able to stand on their own.
Under Domi's operation, the shield bearer used the huge tower shield as a 'stretcher', and the assassin and swordsman acted as workers to carry the limestone onto the stretcher. Domi and the others only had to stand guard nearby.
Soon, the limestone that had piled up like a small hill on the tower shield was collected and lifted up by the shield bearer and swordsman, each carrying one side.
Before leaving the stream, Domi called the 'Assassin' and said to the two women:
"You guys help escort them back to the camp. This guy and I will continue to scout the surrounding area. If there is nothing wrong, we will be back soon. If not, don't act rashly. Come back to me after twelve hours."
Domi's strength is obvious to everyone. Not to mention magic, his physical strength alone is enough to overcome most difficulties, so there is no need to worry too much.
But as his sweetheart (childhood sweetheart), Xia (Ai Wei) still felt it necessary to ask him a favor:
"Then be careful." x2
The two spoke in unison, and then looked into each other's eyes. Fortunately, Duomi was in the middle, otherwise they would have started to quarrel again.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention. I'll leave first. Don't talk too much..."
After Domi left, Xia and Ai Wei completely let themselves go, escorting Limestone while confronting each other across the river:
"I am Domi's childhood sweetheart. It's normal for me to care about him. Princess Xia, what role do you play? Do you need to worry about this?"
"What a childhood sweetheart! You haven't seen each other for years, and you still have the nerve to call me childhood sweetheart? If it were me, I would have almost forgotten you~"
"answer my question."
"Your question is based on the legitimacy of your childhood sweetheart status, but it doesn't seem very reasonable now, so why should I answer it?"
"You are obviously talking to yourself!"
"You are anxious, you are anxious~"
Domi, who was hiding quietly in a tree, listened to their entire conversation and finally left after making sure that it would not interfere with their operations.
"Tsk...what on earth is the reason? Is it necessary to be like this?"
Domi still couldn't figure it out. If there was any misunderstanding, an apology would probably be enough.
Forget it, forget it. He couldn't even handle Xia, so how could he resolve the conflict between two girls? That was too much for him.
He shook his head and began to survey the surroundings attentively...
After some reconnaissance, no other threats were found except the strange creature at the beginning, and the area around the camp was safe.
When we returned to the camp, the sun was just overhead, it was noon.
The masters who had been busy for half a day were now sitting on the sand-soil mixture under the coconut trees to rest.
When they are thirsty, they drink coconut juice; when they are hungry, they eat coconut meat. Coconut is their source of food and clothing!
Seeing that Domi finally came back, Rosa immediately picked up a coconut with a hole cut in it and handed it to Domi:
"Here, brother. You've worked hard. You must be thirsty."
Domi took the coconut and rubbed Rosa's little head gently. It was good to have such a sensible sister who knew that she was thirsty and would take the initiative to bring her the coconut.
After reuniting with everyone, Domi saw several thick tree trunks piled aside, and a lot of scattered branches had been collected and were now being exposed to the sun to dry.
Argyle came over and sat next to Domi and said, "Fortunately, we have the help of your Ash Warriors. They are both very strong and can carry a piece of wood by themselves, which saves a lot of energy. But can your magic power withstand the consumption?"
Domi just gave Argyle a reassuring look: "Don't worry about that. By the way, have you made the kiln?"
Argyle nodded: "I just saw it in a book, but I wasn't sure about its internal structure. I tried to make one. No, it's right there."
Under the coconut trees not far away, there was a new earthen kiln with a tall chimney, which was different from before I left.
After Duomi checked it, he asked Argyle to make some minor modifications before it could be used.
At this moment, everyone gathered around Domi, watching him operate with curiosity.
He put all the limestone he had brought into the kiln, added some dried firewood, and said to Edward:
"Borrow a light."
If you want to survive in the wilderness, you must bring a fire mage with you. You don’t have to worry about starting a fire.
"Increase the heat to above 900 degrees, preferably 1000 to 1300 degrees."
"What is 900 degrees?"
"I do not know either……"
"what?!"
"You can get the temperature as high as you can!"
"walk slowly."
A raging fire instantly ignited in the kiln, and thick smoke billowed out of the chimney, which was soon blown away by the sea breeze.
Taking advantage of this time, Domi asked Argyle to use earth magic to get a bunch of sand, and then made a few brick and stone molds and a mud bucket, and cooperated with Rosa's time magic to make it solidify quickly.
"Here, give each of you a mold. Then we can make bricks together, which will be more efficient."
After a while, the limestone was fired.
Let Edward fish them out of the flameless kiln, peel off the charred outer shell, which is quicklime (CaO), and put them into a mud bucket filled with stream water.
Quicklime deliquesces in contact with water and releases a large amount of heat, producing molten lime, that is, Ca(OH)2, which forms a viscous slurry with water and hardens easily in the air.

Before it hardens, it is poured into a 'basin' made of sand and mixed with it to form gray concrete.
"It's done. Let's get started, everyone. Let's try to get all the bricks and stones out before dark."
While others continued to produce bricks using molds, Domi also continued to send three strong men to transport limestone back and forth.
Edward would have to rest for a while before continuing to calcine the limestone with high fire.
If he hadn't eaten the sulfur fruit from the auction, the temperature probably wouldn't have reached this high. However, maintaining such a high temperature also exhausted him to death.
At the same time, the finished bricks have to pass through Rosa's hands to quickly cool and harden them into truly usable bricks.
They kept working like this until the evening, and the bricks they made had already piled up into a small hill in the cleared space.
"Is this... enough?" Edward was exhausted. If he had to do this for another day, he would just jump into the sea.
But Duomi shook his head mercilessly: "This is not enough. If we want to build a house that can accommodate the six of us, we will need at least two more days!"
poof...
Edward fell down immediately after hearing this.
Ai Wei, who was a part-time doctor, felt the patient's pulse and said, "Don't worry, he's not dead yet, he's just tired."
Chapter 102 Valkyrie
Chapter 102-101- Valkyrie
Night fell, and fortunately, it was a clear night with no clouds in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly on the curtain called sky.
Everyone else fell asleep on the floor, only Domi and Xia were still awake and on guard.
Originally, Domi was supposed to be on duty alone for the first half of the night, but Xia was afraid that he would be too lonely, so she stayed with him for the first half of the night.
The two men sat on a horizontal piece of wood between two coconut trees.
"What are you looking at?"
"Valkyrie."
"I remember this star. Hey, is it that one?"
Xia pointed to the brightest star in the sky that was twinkling with a rose-red light.
"You actually knew that? I thought not many people would study the stars." Domi was a little surprised.
Xia brushed a few strands of her long hair that had been blown in front of her by the wind behind her ears, and looked at Valkyrie with eyes that sparkled like the night sky tonight, reflecting the stars in the sky:
"Because, every time I return to my room after a busy day, the only pastime is to lie on the balcony railing and look at the stars."
"And don't you think the light of Valkyrie is similar to my hair color?"
