After walking for a while, Zhou Ji suggested to take a break.
Xiong Ye put down the tree and transformed into his human form. He immediately said, "Zhou Ji, don't go so far when you come out alone in the future. It's very dangerous outside!"
When he was carrying the tree, he suddenly thought of this matter. At that time, he was in his beast form and couldn't say it, so he could only hold it in. He only said it now.
Although there were no large carnivorous dinosaurs near their tribe, it was too dangerous for someone like Zhou Ji who could not even transform into his beast form to wander around alone!
Previously, Xiong Ye had always thought that Zhou Ji was picking plants at the gathering team's activity area, which was why he was so assured. But now, it seemed that was not the case.
Zhou Ji had actually gone so far away!
Zhou Ji was stunned — Xiong Ye had transformed without warning, and he was not even wearing a beast skin skirt!
Seeing that Zhou Ji did not speak, Xiong Ye was worried that he would be unhappy if he interfered too much, so he said, "In the future, if you want to go somewhere further, I will bring you here when there is no group hunting." He naturally had to protect his partner!
Zhou Ji came back to his senses, looked away, and smiled. "Okay."
His partner was so obedient! Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji happily — after walking in the forest for a long time, Zhou Ji still looked clean. How handsome!
Xiong Ye found a topic to talk to his future partner. "Zhou Ji, you are actually not stupid at all. Why didn't you leave the cave in the past?" Before Zhou Ji's mother passed away, he had not seen Zhou Ji much.
Zhou Ji had already thought of an excuse for himself. Hearing this, he said, "I was really stupid in the past. I didn't think or do anything every day. I only knew how to lie down … Later, my mother died and I stayed in the cave alone. I almost starved to death before I suddenly woke up."
"I see." Xiong Ye suddenly understood.
"The first person I saw after I woke up was you. You are different to me." Zhou Ji smiled. Back then, he only had his superpower, but he did not have any seeds. He dragged his starving body out of the cave to find food. In the end, before he could find anything, he was discovered by Xiong Ye, who came to find Shi Li. Xiong Ye even stuffed a mouthful of dinosaur meat into his mouth.
It tasted really bad.
As Zhou Ji spoke, he kept looking at Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye's heart beat faster under his gaze.
The first time Zhou Ji saw him, he felt that he was very special? Had Zhou Ji already liked him long ago?
Xiong Ye's mood became even better.
Seeing Xiong Ye like this, Zhou Ji said again, "Later on, you let me stay in your cave. I was really happy." A collective cave … that wasn't meant for people to live in!
Xiong Ye's heart beat even faster. "Zhou Ji … erm … I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked me back then …" Zhou Ji was definitely happy to be able to stay in his cave because he liked him.
Zhou Ji felt like he was abducting an innocent little boy. He had to admit that he liked Xiong Xiong Xiong Ji.
He found it hard to fall in love with someone, but it was really good to have such a partner.
Xiong Ye blushed for a while before calming down. He then went to talk to Zhou Ji, "Zhou Ji, it's a pity that you only woke up at this age. If only you had woken up earlier, you would definitely be able to awaken your beast form."
Ji. Yang "Xs Beast" — "Ye" — "Awakened." Even if some awakened when of "of Ji" was Of "not". "
Ye "Zhou" Not "when when was was was not. is." of Ji "of" of ", of" of "was". when. it. it, it. "good" longer, "Ji was not". Long..
. "It was a pity that Zhou Ji had not awakened.
If he had awakened, even if he had become a little mouse, he would have been more capable. For example, a mole's sense of smell was very sensitive.
"I might be able to awaken in the future," Zhou Ji said. He had studied his body. It was no different from the other beastmen in the tribe, so he should be able to turn into a beast.
It was because he had no interest in turning into a beast that he had never transformed.
But now … when he had the time, he might be able to transform and see what kind of species he was.
"It would be great if you could awaken. You might become a cat." Xiong Ye was looking forward to it. Zhou Ji's lazy look was very similar to Mao Jin. Maybe he would awaken into a cat like Mao Jin.
If Zhou Ji could awaken into a cat and lie in his hands, a tiny one … he would definitely kiss it.
"I will awaken in the future," Zhou Ji said. There were all kinds of mammals in this world. Xiong Ye's words made him a little worried.
If the animal that this body awakened was bad …
He would first transform to see what he was, then decide if he should let Xiong Ye know.
If his beast form was good, he could pretend that he had suddenly awakened. If his beast form was bad, then he could pretend that he had not awakened.
After the two of them rested for a while, Xiong Ye stood up and said, "Let's go!" He would only have time to make water buckets if he returned earlier.
"Okay." Zhou Ji nodded.
Xiong Ye said again, "Walk in front of me." Zhou Ji walked behind him. If he accidentally walked too fast, Zhou Ji might not be able to keep up. It was better to let Zhou Ji walk in front.
Zhou Ji smiled and agreed. Then he saw Xiong Ye transform into his beast form and carry the huge log without complaint.
He began to think about giving Xiong Ye a reward.
Such a cute little bear who had worked hard to raise his family must be taken good care of.
Zhou Ji walked forward at a speed that was suitable for Xiong Ye. As he walked, he killed some of the unfriendly grass and chased away some of the messy animals on the side of the road.
He did not want these things to hurt Xiong Ye.
But to Xiong Ye, who was in beast form, these things did not seem to hurt him at all.
Although bears could stand, it was very tiring for them. Xiong Ye's so-called carrying the log was actually using one front paw to hold the log in place while the other three paws were used to walk.
After walking like this for a while, his shoulders were a little sore, but it was bearable — he wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking about this, Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji stop. "There are edible vegetables here. I want to collect some."
Xiong Ye transformed into his human form and immediately said, "Let me help you."
Zhou Ji did not refuse. Then, he saw the naked Xiong Ye go to collect the vegetables.
This posture … was clearly seduction.
Zhou Ji touched his nose. When he came out, he had brought a simple basket made of branches — the people in the tribe would make this kind of basket.
However, because this basket was very simple and had many "loopholes", people usually placed some relatively large leaves in it before using it to store things.
Zhou Ji's basket was already filled with leaves. Now, he put the vegetables into the basket and carried it in his hand.
"Do you want me to help you carry it?" Xiong Ye asked.
"No need," Zhou Ji said.
There was not much food, so Xiong Ye did not insist. He transformed back into his beast form, switched his front paw to the log on his back, and continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ji stopped again and pointed to a bird's nest on a nearby tree. "The dinosaur eggs from yesterday were very delicious. The bird eggs should be delicious too."
Xiong Ye transformed into his human form again. "The bird eggs are even more delicious than the dinosaur eggs. I'll go get them for you."
As Xiong Ye spoke, he did not wear his animal skin skirt and began to climb the tree.
Some bears were very good at climbing trees, but Xiong Ye's beast form was too big and he could not climb trees. However, this did not affect him from taking the bird eggs.
He could climb trees in his human form!
Zhou Ji, who was under the tree, thought to himself, What a clear view!
After a while, Xiong Ye came down with three bird eggs that were a little smaller than chicken eggs. "There are six eggs in total. I took half."
"Mm." Zhou Ji smiled at him and put the three eggs into his own basket. He praised, "Xiong Ye, you're really amazing."
After stretching his muscles and bones, Xiong Ye, who was praised, happily continued to carry the logs.
After walking for a while … Zhou Ji had something to do again.
Along the way, the two of them stopped five times to collect some miscellaneous things.
Xiong Ye was very good-tempered and did not feel impatient at all. Instead, he was quite happy that Zhou Ji needed his help. He happily climbed trees and went into the water.
What an energetic little bear … Zhou Ji brought the huge brown bear back to the tribe.
When they returned, the sky was almost dark. The people in the tribe had already lit a fire and gathered around to prepare for dinner.
It could not be called dinner … The people in the tribe often only ate one meal a day. After eating, they would sleep soundly and continue hunting the next day.
Now that Zhou Ji had brought Xiong Ye back, everyone saw it.
"What a big tree."
"Why did Xiong Ye bring a tree back?"
"He's probably making something … Did you see it? There are beehives and crocodiles on the tree! "
"Xiong Ye is really amazing."
"Zhou Ji really doesn't have to worry about food and drink when he's with Xiong Ye!"
…
Everyone looked at Xiong Ye enviously and could not help but feel jealous of Zhou Ji.
Some of the weaker people regretted not thinking of a way to get Xiong Ye earlier.
As long as they could not starve for the rest of their lives, it was okay to become partners with Xiong Ye! Originally, people like them who were weaker might not be able to have children.
"Brother Xiong Ye." The children in the tribe ran out and greeted Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye wanted to transform into human form to talk to them, but Zhou Ji, who had noticed him in advance, stopped him. "Put the things down first and then come down." It was fine to transform when it was only the two of them, but now was not the time to do something like not wearing clothes!
Xiong Ye nodded. He first placed the logs in front of his house, then entered the cave and transformed into human form. Zhou Ji handed him an animal skin skirt at the right time.
Zhou Ji said, "Let's open the beehive and keep some. Give the rest to the shaman."
Xiong Ye nodded and immediately opened the beehive. Then, he put a lot of honey into the shell of the dinosaur egg that he had eaten in the morning and put some bee pupae in a stone bowl.
Zhou Ji was not interested in the bee pupae, but Xiong Ye wanted to eat it … so be it.
After leaving enough honey, Xiong Ye took the rest of the beehive and brought Zhou Ji to the shaman's cave.
The shaman's cave looked similar to Xiong Ye's cave, except that there were all kinds of utensils made of stone or wood.
But Zhou Ji did not feel envious at all.
The shaman's cave gave off a smell that old people often had. It was not pleasant at all, and Xiong Ye's smell was better.
"Xiong Ye, why are you here?" The shaman asked with a smile and sniffed again. "Honey?"
"Grandpa Shaman, I got a beehive. I'll give you some," Xiong Ye said.
The shaman was overjoyed. "Not bad. Is there anything you want? I can exchange it for you. "
"Grandpa Shaman, the partner ceremony in two days …" Xiong Ye scratched the back of his head.
"Don't worry, I will definitely think of the best partner ceremony for you," the shaman immediately said. Previously, when Xiong Ye wanted to become Lion Li's partner, he had already mentioned this request. Now … he should help Xiong Ye think of a better way.
Hearing the shaman say this, Xiong Ye was overjoyed. "Thank you, Grandpa Shaman."
The shaman looked at him kindly and took out a small bowl. "This is for you."
"What is this?" Xiong Ye was curious. Zhou Ji looked over and found that the bowl was filled with oil dregs.
Obviously, the shaman had done as he said and boiled the dinosaur oil.
"This is made from fat. It's especially delicious. Those little guys wanted to eat it, but I only let them have a taste. Now it's for you. " The shaman gave the bowl to Xiong Ye and looked at Zhou Ji. "I did as you said and made delicious dinosaur eggs. I'm full now."
As for the oil splashed on his hand when he was cooking, there was no need to mention it.
He would not get hurt next time!
Xiong Ye ate a piece of oil dregs and really liked it. He wanted to give some to Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji refused. "I don't like it. You eat it."
After refusing to eat the oil dregs, Zhou Ji looked at the shaman. "Grandpa Shaman, the oil made this way can be stored for a long time."
"Really? I want to test it! "The shaman was pleasantly surprised and said," Zhou Ji, you've suddenly become very smart. "
"Zhou Ji must have received the blessing of the Beast Deity." Xiong Ye told the shaman everything Zhou Ji had said to him during the day.
The shaman believed it just like Xiong Ye and said to Zhou Ji, "The Beast Deity must be blessing you!"
Zhou Ji: "…" Sorry, he didn't believe in the Beast Deity …
After giving the shaman the honeycomb that still had a lot of bee pupae and some honey, Xiong Ye skinned and cleaned the crocodile. As usual, he gave the crocodile's skin and the meatless head and claws to the children.
Then Zhou Ji saw the children using stone knives to cut the crocodile's skin and prepare to eat it.
The crocodile's skin could be used to make bags, so it was probably very resistant to hunger?
They had brought back a lot of things today, but they forgot to chop firewood. Xiong Ye burned the crocodile on the collective fire in the col.
Previously, Zhou Ji was unwilling to interact with the people in the tribe and rarely stayed in the col. Now, it was much better … He sat beside Xiong Ye and used his mental strength to observe the people around.
This was the most lively time in the col.
A child born last year, who could not walk yet, was nestled in his mother's arms, drinking breast milk. Two men were confessing to Xiong Bai. Someone was bragging about his hunting experience today, and someone was talking about Shi Li.
"Shi Li beat up his mother and younger brother yesterday!"
"Why did he suddenly beat them?"
"I don't know either. They must have quarreled."
"His mother and younger brother are not very likeable."
"Shi Li is not likeable now either."
"I thought Shi Li was quite powerful before, but now that I think about it, Xiong Ye is more powerful."
"Xiong Ye has always been powerful."
"I haven't seen Shi Li for a whole day today …"
…
Shi Li did not leave the cave for a whole day today, so no one saw him. Instead, Xiong Qi, who almost never left the cave a few days ago, came out and walked to Xiong Ye's side. "Xiong Ye, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Xiong Ye looked at Xiong Qi in confusion.
Xiong Qi said, "I'm happy that you defeated Shi Li."
Although Xiong Qi said this, he did not look happy at all. Instead, he looked like he was enduring pain. Xiong Ye noticed this and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"In the future, I might not be able to … hunt anymore." Xiong Qi said through gritted teeth, feeling an indescribable sense of loss. He used to be one of the strongest warriors in the tribe, but in the future … he might become a member of the collective cave.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiong Ye was shocked and hurriedly asked. Zhou Ji immediately used his mental power to examine Xiong Qi's body.
"My injury is a little serious. I don't know if I can recover," Xiong Qi said while enduring the pain. He was quite regretful now. A few days ago, he should not have fought with Shi Li while injured. In the end, not only did he lose, but his injury had also worsened.
Xiong Qi's injury was indeed a little serious — his bones were broken and crooked.
Such an injury would not be a big deal in the modern world. One could just straighten the bones. But in this era, no one could straighten bones?
The tribe's doctor, that kind grandpa priest, only knew some basic treatment methods.
Since that was the case, if Xiong Qi's bones grew crooked, he would be finished — there were people in the tribe who broke their legs and became crippled. As a result, they could no longer participate in hunting and could only join the gathering team.
In the past, Zhou Ji would not have cared about such things.
Having experienced the end of the world, he did not like to meddle in other people's affairs. Previously, when he went out to gather, he had helped to use his superpower to accelerate the growth of some plants. That was just to repay him for living in the tribe.
But now …
There were very few people in the tribe who were strong in battle. Losing such a person would have a huge impact on the tribe, and also on Xiong Ye — Xiong Ye might have to hunt even harder in the future to feed this large group of people.
Zhou Ji said, "Xiong Ye, didn't you learn medical skills from the priest? Do you want to let Xiong Qi take a look? "
Xiong Ye immediately said, "Sure."
Xiong Qi was also willing to let Xiong Ye take a look at him. He was in a desperate situation now. "I've looked for the priest. Ss … the priest said that I can slowly recover on my own, but these few days … ss … I can't sleep because of the pain."
Xiong Qi's broken bone was in his hip. He lay on the ground and turned his body to let Xiong Ye see his injury.
His skin was thick. Regardless of whether he had been whipped by the dinosaur's tail or repeatedly attacked by Lion Li, the external injury was not serious. Just by looking at the external injury, one would not know that his bone had been broken.
Xiong Ye wanted to take a look, but Zhou Ji said, "Xiong Ye, don't we still have some herbs? Go get some. "It was better for Xiong Ye not to touch the wound in this area.
"Okay." Xiong Ye nodded and went back to get the herbs.
After chasing away Xiong Ye, who was planning to touch someone's hip, Zhou Ji patted Xiong Qi's waist. "The herbs that Xiong Ye picked are very effective. You will definitely recover after using them."
His pat was very natural, and no one suspected anything at all. Only Zhou Ji himself knew that he had used his mental strength to fix Xiong Qi's bone.
When Xiong Qi heard Zhou Ji's words, he felt a sense of hope. He did not know if it was because of this, but he felt that his injury did not hurt as much anymore. At this moment, Xiong Ye came down with some herbs.
On the way back today, they had picked some herbs and put them all together. There were some that could heal and stop bleeding, and some that could calm the nerves. There were even a few that contained more energy and were good for the body.
Zhou Ji planned to keep the last one for Xiong Ye. Of course, he could not give it to Xiong Qi. He first gave Xiong Qi some calming herbs. "Chew and eat it."
He wanted him to eat this kind of grass raw? Xiong Qi was a little puzzled, but he still chewed and ate it obediently. After eating, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and it was especially uncomfortable.
Xiong Ye looked at Xiong Qi sympathetically. Zhou Ji would also let him eat this kind of grass, but he had cooked it for him. Now, Xiong Qi actually wanted to eat it raw … How pitiful!
"Chew these and apply it to your wound." Zhou Ji gave Xiong Qi a few more healing herbs.
"Oh …" Xiong Qi took it again and did as he was told.
"I'll be fine after I go back and sleep," Zhou Ji said. Beastmen's recovery ability was very strong. Although Xiong Qi's bones were broken, he should be fine after a few days of good rest.
Unless he courted death and went to fight with others again.
Xiong Ye did not know the inside story, so he was naturally not as optimistic as Zhou Ji. However, he still comforted Xiong Qi. "Don't worry, you will definitely be fine."
Xiong Qi did not know that Xiong Ye was only comforting him. He felt that his wound was not that painful anymore, and for a moment, he was extremely grateful to Xiong Ye.
In the past, he did not really like Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye was very powerful and made him feel a sense of danger.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that he should not have acted that way in the past.
Xiong Ye was really a good person. He knew that he was injured and that he might lose the ability to fight, but he was still so kind to him and even gave him precious herbs.
He must repay Xiong Ye in the future!
With this thought in mind, Xiong Qi obediently went back to sleep. When he walked back to the cave, his body was not as crooked as before.
Xiong Ye did not notice this. He scratched his head and looked at Zhou Ji. "Zhou Ji, let's eat meat."
"I don't want to eat," Zhou Ji said.
"Crocodile meat is very delicious, really!" Xiong Ye promised again and again. He took a big bite and showed it to Zhou Ji.
Seeing that he was enjoying it, Zhou Ji was also interested in tasting it. After tasting it, he felt that it was acceptable and ate a little more.
Seeing this, Xiong Ye was extremely happy.
Those who saw this scene could not help but feel a little sour — why was Zhou Ji's life so good!
Why did no one give them food to eat? They didn't want to eat, yet they still persuaded them to eat?
Someone was extremely jealous and even jumped out to say to Xiong Ye, "Xiong Ye, I have always liked you. I am willing to be your partner …"
"I already have a partner," Xiong Ye said. Xiong Ye said. He knew the person in front of him. This person had been pursuing a woman in the tribe before!
"I am better than Zhou Ji, so I will definitely be more suitable for you," that person said again.
"I like Zhou Ji," Xiong Ye said, then looked at Zhou Ji. "Zhou Ji, in my eyes, you are the best."
Zhou Ji laughed.
Seeing that he laughed, Xiong Ye could not help but praise him again, "You are really very good. The food you cook is delicious, and you look good too." He did not know what to praise, so he could only say that he was good looking!
Zhou Ji: "…" Alright, he did not expect Xiong Ye to look at one's face.
After eating the crocodile meat, the two of them returned to the cave.
Following Zhou Ji's request, Xiong Ye cut off a piece of the thick wood and began to dig a bucket with a stone knife.
This wood was especially hard, and the stone knife was not useful. He even transformed into his beast form and used his claws to scratch … Unfortunately, the effect was only average.
Zhou Ji laughed and went to "sleep" first. At the same time, he used his mental energy to help Xiong Ye a little.
Seeing that Zhou Ji had fallen asleep, Xiong Ye immediately lightened his movements. Then, for some unknown reason, the speed at which he dug the wood increased.
He was too impatient at the beginning. It seemed that he had to dig the wood slowly.
Digging a bucket was not difficult. Xiong Ye dug for more than an hour and was done. He went to the col to wash the wooden bucket, filled it with water, and carried it back to the cave before going to sleep.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Zhou Ji once again guided the energy around him into his body.
Xiong Ye had done a lot of work today and slept very late. If he did not do this, he might not have the energy tomorrow.
The next day, Xiong Ye was still full of energy as usual.
He felt that his energy had been especially good recently, and his strength had increased … Having a family and someone to take care of him was indeed different.
Putting everything else aside, he did not eat in the morning in the past, but now? Today, Zhou Ji actually used bird eggs to fry bee pupae for him to eat!
It was really too fragrant and delicious! It was just that Zhou Ji did not like to eat bee pupae and only ate the eggs.
Xiong Ye ate and drank to his heart's content. Satisfied, he left the cave and went to the col to gather — today was another group hunt.
When Xiong Ye went down, there were not many people in the col. He was about to stretch his muscles when he suddenly heard Xiong Qi's voice. "Xiong Ye!"
Xiong Ye turned his head and saw Xiong Qi walking towards him excitedly. With red eyes, Xiong Qi opened his arms to hug him. "Xiong Ye, thank you …"
