But he did not continue eating. This was Xiong Ye's meat, and he could not eat too much.
Seeing Zhou Ji like this, Xiong Ye wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he said, "If you like the elephant bird's meat, eat more. It will go bad if you don't finish it."
"I still have some salt. I can marinate some of it for you, and you can give some away," Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye thought about it and nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Zhou Ji, can you help me roast another piece of meat? I want to give it to the priest. "
Zhou Ji had cooked about five pounds of meat and roasted another fifteen pounds of meat. The two of them finished it all.
Zhou Ji knew about the priest in the tribe and had even observed him for a period of time. Then, he found that there was nothing special about the priest who lived below them in a spacious cave facing south and did not interact much with the people in the tribe.
However, in the tribe, he should be a doctor and teacher, so he was very popular and had a high status. Every time the tribe returned from a collective hunt, Xiong He would give the best meat to the priest.
Now that Xiong Ye wanted to give something to the priest, Zhou Ji did not object.
There were about four hundred people in this tribe. In modern times, there were very few people, but in primitive society, this was a very large tribe. It was difficult to unite such a large tribe without some faith.
The priest's role was to unite such a tribe and pass on some knowledge.
Zhou Ji had not interacted with this priest before, but he knew that it was not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him. "You can give this sweet stick to the priest." He was referring to the sugarcane that he had brought back. Zhou Ji decided to call it the sweet stick.
"Okay, I will tell Grandpa Priest that you gave it to him," Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji smiled and began to roast the meat. At this time, Xiong Ye packed up the elephant bird's bones and intestines, as well as the meat that was minced during the cutting process. He brought them to the cave where the group lived and gave them to the elderly and children there.
The big stone pot in the tribe was usually placed there. The elderly could use the stone pot to cook the food and share it with the children.
After delivering these, Xiong Ye scooped up some water to wash his hands. When he returned to the cave, he saw that Zhou Ji had already roasted the meat.
The meat he roasted was glistening with oil and emitted a sweet fragrance. It looked delicious. He even peeled the outer skin of the sweet stick and placed it at the side.
Xiong Ye felt that he could eat another meal!
However, he did not eat it. Instead, he took the elephant bird meat and went to the priest.
It was not dark when Xiong Ye returned, but it was already dark now. However, the people in the tribe were still awake. Most of them were having dinner.
The door to the sacrificial cave was closed, but light shone from it.
Xiong Ye knocked on the door. "Grandpa Priest!"
As soon as Xiong Ye knocked on the door, someone came to open it. It was one of the apprentices that Grandpa Priest had chosen last winter.
Just last year, the Grandpa Priest said in the tribe that he was looking for an heir. He inspected the children in the tribe and finally chose three to take with him.
Of the three children, two were girls and one was a boy, and they were only five or six years old.
"Xiong Ye, you are here," said the old man sitting beside the bonfire with a smile.
There were only two priests in the big bear tribe. The former one had passed away 50 years ago. The current one was 78 years old.
If the people in the tribe were not injured, they could usually live to 60 or 70 years old. The priest was actually the oldest person in the tribe.
However, he looked much better than the elders in the tribe. After all, he had never lacked food for so many years.
"Grandpa Priest, I brought you some roasted meat. It was roasted with honey. It's very delicious!" said Xiong Ye.
"Oh? I know you caught an elephant bird. So you also found honey? "The priest was a little surprised.
"I didn't find the honey. It was Zhou Ji's. It should have been left for him by his mother," said Xiong Ye. Honey was not easy to get. If one was not careful, not only would they not get the honey, they would also be stung to death by bees!
"He actually gave you the honey. He is good to you," said the priest. He took the meat from Xiong Ye's hand and took a bite. "It's delicious."
"This was roasted by Zhou Ji! He also found this sweet stick. It tastes sweet. "Xiong Ye gave a few sweet sticks to the priest.
The priest picked up the sweet stick and took a bite. He was extremely happy. "It's sweet! What does this plant look like? I want to write it down. "
Xiong Ye said, "When Zhou Ji brought it back, there was only a long stick."
"If there's more next time, bring it to me, or let Zhou Ji talk to me," said the priest.
"He doesn't seem to like talking to people," said Xiong Ye.
"I can see that." The priest nodded. Zhou Ji couldn't talk or walk when he was young. Zhou Ji's mother had invited him to take a look, but he couldn't see anything. Now that Zhou Ji had suddenly recovered, he actually found it very strange.
However, Zhou Ji was still the same Zhou Ji. His smell hadn't changed … He must have been blessed by the Beast Deity to become better.
"In ten days, it will be the Beast Deity Ritual. Are you still going to hold a partner ceremony?" asked the priest. He liked Xiong Ye very much. In the past, he even wanted Xiong Ye to be his successor. Unfortunately, Xiong Ye wasn't willing to stay in the cave all day.
"No," said Xiong Ye.
"Don't be sad. You might get better in the future," said the priest with a smile.
"Grandpa Priest, do the people outside choose their partners?" asked Xiong Ye.
"Of course." The priest said, "They will form a family with their partners and raise their children … This is what my teacher told me."
Xiong Ye liked the life that the priest talked about, but the people in his tribe weren't used to it. Very few people would choose this.
But even so, he still wanted a unique partner. He didn't want his partner to be with someone else in the blink of an eye.
Xiong Ye chatted with the priest for a while and happily returned to his cave.
There was a nice herbal fragrance in his cave. Xiong Ye came to his nest and lay down. Not long after, he slowly fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, Zhou Ji woke up.
After making sure that Xiong Ye was asleep, Zhou Ji used his mental strength to attract the surrounding energy and then controlled it to approach Xiong Ye's body.
After the energy entered Xiong Ye's body, it began to scatter. Only a small portion was absorbed by the crystal core in Xiong Ye's body. Zhou Ji thought about it and finally restrained the energy near Xiong Ye's wound.
The originally hideous wound slowly began to heal.
Zhou Ji didn't do much. Seeing that the wound was much better, he let go and went back to sleep.
The people in this world didn't know how to use the energy that could be seen everywhere in the air. But Zhou Ji had just arrived here, and he knew that if the energy in the air could be used, it would definitely make these Beastmen stronger.
But he was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he should do this.
The ecology here maintained a balance. If he interfered too much, the balance would be destroyed. What would happen in the future?
Moreover, he could use his mental strength to see the surrounding energy and use it. But the Beastmen here didn't have mental strength. In other words, they couldn't use the surrounding energy at all.
Zhou Ji quickly let go of this matter and stopped thinking about it.
He just had to take it slow. He had only lived a leisurely life for slightly more than a month. He didn't want to tire himself out.
Zhou Ji lay on his bed and fell asleep again.
At the same time, in Sound of Wolf's cave, Lion Li was also cultivating.
Cultivation was not an easy task. One had to be patient. Back when he and Xiong Ye had discovered the cultivation method in that cave, he had been unable to cultivate patiently. As a result, the results were minimal. Later on, when Xiong Ye had practiced more and realized that it was useful, he had started cultivating again.
Then, he and Xiong Ye became stronger and stronger.
Later on, he realized that when Beastmen became stronger and stronger, they could even become Beast Kings!
Other Beast Kings became Beast Kings by chance, but he and Xiong Ye were different. What they had was a cultivation method that could turn anyone into a Beast King! How precious was it?
Starting all over again, with his previous experience, Lion Li cultivated even more diligently.
Seeing Lion Li like this, Wolf Voice was a little irritated.
She had no intention of becoming partners with Lion Li. However, when she had invited Lion Li previously, she had decided to be with him for the next few years. But Lion Li's behavior had disappointed her!
Lion Li was actually sleeping at home every day!
Wolf Voice finally understood why Xiong Ye had separated Lion Li when they were about to become partners. She didn't want a man who only knew how to sleep all day and didn't even talk to her!
If not for Lion Li's good looks and powerful beast form, Wolf Voice wouldn't even want to have a child with him.
Wolf Voice had been flattered since she was young. She had wanted to wake Lion Li up, but when she had done so previously, Lion Li had been very fierce, so she had given up and found a place to sleep gloomily.
In the end, when she woke up, Wolf Voice actually discovered that Lion Li was eating the meat she had saved.
Lion Li was actually eating the meat she had saved!
Wolf Voice was instantly enraged. "You actually ate the meat!"
"What's wrong?" Lion Li was puzzled. He was hungry and ate the meat when he saw it. Was that wrong?
