This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 185 - 133 Stone Artifact Master_3

When he felt the stone was heated sufficiently, he instructed a young wanderer to fetch a bag of water.

Then, with two wooden sticks, he pulled the scorching stone material from the fire pit, placed it outside the house, and poured water over it.

"Sizzle..."

A great amount of white steam emerged as the hot stone was doused with water.

The Elder Black Stone finished pouring a pot of water and promptly picked up the still-warm stone material, returned inside, sat by the fire pit, holding the stone in his left hand and the stone hammer in his right, beginning to strike along the stone’s grain.

Every strike from Elder Black Stone opened cracks in the stone material. After a few precise hammer blows, the first thin stone flake was completely "peeled" off, reminiscent of peeling a garlic clove.

As the striking sounded continuously, a piece of stone the size of a palm gradually transformed into over a dozen sharp-edged stone flakes and a small amount of waste material.

Such a skilled technique left Jiang Xuan feeling amazed.

And this was only the beginning.

After crafting the stone material into flakes, Elder Black Stone switched to a smaller stone hammer, placing the flakes on a large stone, carefully striking them into rough arrowhead shapes.

Each strike was made with full confidence, shaping the stone flakes into the desired form with minimal waste.

This seemingly simple task actually requires decades of unwavering practice and exceptional talent to perfect.

Upon completing this, Elder Black Stone put down the stone hammer, poured some water on the rough stone, and finely sharpened the arrowhead edges, making them sharp and orderly, much like honing a blade.

Jiang Xuan now believed that this elder was truly a Stone Artifact Master, and a very skilled one at that.

Having crafted stone arrowheads himself, Jiang Xuan realized the difficulty in achieving precision strikes to form the desired shape. freёwebnoѵel.com

The Vine Tribe, numbering more than five hundred, originating from numerous small tribes that had been vanquished, lacked anyone capable of striking stone flakes to desired forms as Elder Black Stone could.

In their attempts to make stone tools, they often had to go through multiple trials, selecting suitable materials from the process and then slowly proceeding with crafting.

Even so, the tools produced were merely barely usable.

Yet Elder Black Stone transformed the action of striking stone flakes into art; simple arrowheads were crafted beautifully and practically, without wasting stone material.

This is a true Stone Artifact Master!

When Elder Black Stone handed the first polished arrowhead to Jiang Xuan, seeing the precise shape and sharp edges, he found it as pleasing as an exquisite piece of art.

Jiang Xuan then passed the arrowhead to Nan Xing and others, who praised it highly, as the arrowhead polished by Elder Black Stone was far superior to anything they had crafted.

Jiang Xuan said, "Elder’s craftsmanship is exceptional; the Vine Tribe will not let your skills go unnoticed. From today, you will have an independent house devoted solely to crafting stone tools for the tribe!"

Elder Black Stone, neither haughty nor humble, replied, "Thank you, Leader Xuan."

Jiang Xuan immediately arranged for a rather good empty house dedicated to Elder Black Stone’s residence where he could craft stone tools and provided him with some daily supplies.

From that day on, rhythmic striking and grinding sounds emanated frequently from that house, and the tribal members of Vine Tribe understood that a true Stone Artifact Master had joined their ranks.

The six young wanderers, witnessing the generous treatment of Elder Black Stone, developed a strong affinity for the Vine Tribe and worked diligently for them.
