The tribespeople, who had been working all morning, feasted on delicious little fish cakes and drank aromatic, rich fish soup, suddenly feeling replenished and ready to work exceptionally hard in the afternoon!
Because the tribe now had a large population, everyone cooperated well. Digging the hole was tiring but simple, so the progress was several times faster than when they were building houses!
In just a little over three days, the outline of the moat was dug, and the cave for the mermaid beastmen was directly excavated as well.
They were pressed for time. When the warm season comes, they would build a small platform with stones along the moat. This would not only look beautiful but also prevent smaller cubs from accidentally falling in.
Although the mermaid beastman would be living in the river, anything could happen. To ensure safety, the platform was definitely necessary.
