Chapter 354, No Dirty Feet

The four of them immediately ran toward that wide road, their faces full of anticipation.

 

After seeing the cement houses, when they spotted the stone road in the distance, they became excited.

 

In less than a few minutes, they reached the cement road, and all four of them stood there in a line.

 

“This looks… why doesn’t it look like stone at all?” Lan wondered.

 

She saw that everything on the ground was an earthen gray colour. Though it looked refined, it did not resemble stone at all.

 

“But it looks hard, it must be stone.” Luo speculated with furrowed brows.

 

“I also think it’s stone. But, how could there be a piece of stone this big?” Kai found it incredible.

 

From his experience, no stone was this large and this long. Looking out, he could not even see where this large stone ended. How was it possible for there to be such a stone?

 

“Could it also be pieced together?” Li guessed.

 

She also felt a stone this large was not realistic. No matter how extraordinary, there could not be a single stone this long.

 

If stones for the houses could be stuck together, why could stones for roads not be stuck together?

 

“How is that possible? These stones show no signs of being stuck together.” Lan crouched down to examine.

 

She reached out to touch the ground, feeling that it was rock-hard and seemed exactly like stone.

 

Li also crouched down to observe the ground too. She curiously questioned, “It really is like stone, but why are there no signs of two pieces being stuck together?”

 

She was thoroughly confused. How could this be explained? It could not really be one huge stone, could it?

 

“What kind of Tribe is this? How do they have so many strange things?” Kai was completely bewildered. Looking at those cement houses and then at this stone road, he found it all inconceivable.

 

“Could it be made with a Shaman Technique? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense,” Lan speculated.

 

She found it too incredible. Just how could there be a stone this big? it simply did not make any sense.

 

“That’s impossible, no Shaman Technique could create these things.” Li immediately refuted.

 

She was more rational. She knew these things could not be made with a Shaman Technique. She had never heard of a Shaman Technique that could create things. They were either for healing or dealing with Ferocious Beasts. She had never heard of a Shaman Technique that could create things out of thin air. So, she knew it was simply impossible.

 

“Could this Tribe’s Shaman know a new kind of Shaman Technique?” Lan speculated.

 

“Unlikely. Didn’t they say these were all built? So it can’t be made with a Shaman Technique.” Li shook her head without hesitation.

 

“Then how were these things made? Were they really pieced together?” Luo frowned.

 

These things did not look natural at all. Natural stones could not possibly be so uniform.

 

“These are what stones should look like.” Lan pointed at the gravel beside the road.

 

The gravel laid beside the cement road was what they considered real stones – which was common sense to them.

 

To them, stones should be irregular in appearance and oddly shaped.

 

But this road was so wide and even. Furthermore, it was so long and consistent all the way. It was unlike any stone they knew of.

 

“I’ll walk on it and see,” Li said as she stepped onto it, wanting to feel what the road was like.

 

The others did the same, no longer hesitating at the side but stepping right onto it.

 

“It feels so comfortable to walk on, and it feels… feels so solid!” Lan exclaimed.

 

She felt like she was walking on real solid stone. It gave her a sense of security.

 

It was not like walking on mud, which felt soft and squishy, sometimes even slippery.

 

“Yes, this road… it really is… so very special.” Li widened her red eyes.

 

The moment her feet touched it, she felt an inherent sense of security that dirt roads did not provide.

 

Dirt roads always felt soft and muddy, and would make their feet dirty.

 

“It’s so wide, enough for several of us to walk side by side,” Luo kept looking around.

 

He could see many people not far away on the road, all experiencing the feeling of the stone road.

 

“If we could walk on this all the time, we would save up a lot of time traveling around.” Kai thought about the practical aspects.

 

When running or moving around in the Tribe, they often stepped in mud holes or got their feet covered in mud, which felt terrible. It was not just sticky and messy, but it also affected how they could run.

 

“Should we walk further to explore? This road seems to go very far,” Luo suggested.

 

Lan stood on tiptoe, looking into the distance, nodding. “Sure, we don’t have anything else to do anyway.”

 

Li thought seriously, then nodded too. “Alright, let’s walk to the end and see what’s there.”

 

“We can also ask others along the way what this thing really is.” Kai was extremely curious.

 

If someone told him these were stones, he absolutely would not believe them.

 

“They probably don’t know either, just like with the houses.” Li gravely said.

 

She felt this Tribe had many things she did not know about, and those things made her curious.

 

“Never mind, let’s walk and ask – someone must know.” Kai walked ahead.

 

He loved this feeling – walking on a solid road without worrying about getting his feet dirty.
