The children were unusually sensible. When Li Ke and the two men chopped down a tree, the children set up a fire in a safe place and began to boil water with snow.
Moreover, the fire they set up was much better than Li Ke's. Moreover, their nimble movements with the flint made Li Ke a little concerned.
Therefore, after they chopped enough firewood, Li Ke patted the children's heads and wanted them to rest.
"Okay, little ones, you can rest now. Leave the rest to us. Take some firewood and ask Cerna for jerky."
The little ones were very sensible. Although they were still a little afraid of Li Ke, they still nodded and all ran towards Cerna.
Then Li Ke led the two men to dig the soil until it was soft with axes. The bald man called Lelles didn't quite understand Li Ke's intentions at first and directly dug a deep hole in the snow. Li Ke had no choice but to explain it to him. Only then did he understand that Li Ke only needed him to loosen the hard ground, not dig a hole.
The other guy, Akalan, who had a tuft of hair in the middle of his head, was sent by Li Ke to continue boiling water and pour it into the soil that had already been dug when the soil was about to be loosened.
This action of course made them feel puzzled, so they loosened the snow that was two meters wide and ten meters long. After pouring hot water on it, Lelles dared to ask.
"Sir, are we holding a ceremony?"
He really didn't understand the meaning of this because it was too strange. There was nothing in the snow, and pouring hot water into the snow was no different from wasting energy.
"No, I'm just making the ground warmer so that I can grow some potatoes."
Li Ke reached out and tested the wet soil. After finding that it was still a little cold, he took a pot of hot water and poured it on the ground in front of him, barely making the soil in front of him warm up.
"Grow potatoes?"
"Yes, you'll know when you see."
Li Ke took out a potato that he kept as a seed and cut it into four pieces. Then, under the distressed gazes of the two men, he pressed them into the moist and warm soil. He closed his eyes and used the power of life that Oudir taught him to 'see' how his power worked in the potatoes.
"But the life force is still quite abundant, so I'll use more power."
Li Ke's vitality had recovered to its peak because of the person known as the 'Lost One'. Therefore, he was much more generous than when he was in the cave. He directly injected four times the amount of the potatoes that he had planted previously into the four pieces of potatoes.
But what was interesting was that it seemed like Li Ke tried to connect his mind with the potatoes, so the life force he injected into them didn't cause any changes to the potatoes immediately.
"What is he doing?"
And his strange behavior naturally puzzled the two men, so they looked at each other and saw the same doubts on each other's faces.
But their doubts didn't affect Li Ke at all, because Li Ke was now in darkness. And he felt that he had turned into four, wailing in different places. He knew that this was the feeling of the potatoes in his hand, but this different life experience still made him feel strong discomfort.
The feeling of the plants almost replaced the feeling of his body as soon as he injected his consciousness into the potatoes, but he still couldn't feel the will of the plants. He only knew that they existed. And it wasn't like when he tried to absorb life force, where he couldn't even feel the slightest bit of life force.
But what made him feel helpless was that his consciousness was very unstable when connecting with the plants, and it would break at any time. And it seemed that because his consciousness suppressed the 'consciousness' of the plants, the life force he injected into the potatoes turned into a pool of stagnant water. There was no movement at all.
Therefore, Li Ke withdrew from the psychic state in disappointment. The moment he withdrew from the psychic state, the potatoes that he stroked displayed a strong vitality. They rapidly spread and grew in the soil that they had treated. They only stopped growing when they came into contact with the snow and hard soil.
A large amount of green quickly appeared in the soil that was loosened by the axe. The originally black soil also slowly changed color and became dry. But the result was gratifying. With just four potatoes, Li Ke made the land that they opened up covered with potato vines. And from the slightly raised soil, it could be seen that potatoes were growing under the vines.
Regarding this point, Li Ke finally confirmed that the potatoes in this world and the potatoes in his world were completely different species. This was because the potatoes on Earth weren't vines that looked like creepers. Instead, they grew one by one. There wouldn't be a situation where a potato would cover an entire field.
But this was also very magical because it tasted like a potato, looked like a potato, and produced the same output as a potato.
But it was indeed not the potatoes that Li Ke knew …
Moreover, four times the consumption wasn't the same as four times the harvest. It seemed that the land was too fertile. Even if Li Ke stopped injecting life force into the potatoes, the vines would continue to grow. They were abnormally wild until they covered the entire reclaimed land.
The emerald green leaves welcomed the flying snow in the sky, presenting an inconceivably strange scene. The two men who were watching this scene from the beginning to the end were dumbfounded by this incredible scene. Their simple brains, lack of knowledge, and superstitious thoughts made them think of the same thing as Cherna, that was, Li Ke was definitely not a mortal, but an apostle of God, or some other noble existence.
Especially after Li Ke dug out a fist-sized potato with the axe, the two strong men finally woke up from their dream and knelt down in front of Li Ke. They also pressed their heads tightly against the cold snow to express their respect.
They were furnace owners, furnace owners who were close to slaves. They could survive only because they were proficient in carpentry, were easily accepted, and could take care of these children.
And the person in front of them was more noble than any Ice People, any Priest, or any War Mother, because his power was undoubtedly the power of God! Therefore, in front of such an existence, they subconsciously knelt on the ground, using this method to express their respect and submission.
But when Li Ke saw them kneeling down, he directly pulled them up and narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to understand why Cherna asked the children to help him.
