Even though some people had peed their pants when they saw the huge beast yesterday, now that they saw so much meat, everyone immediately became happy.
They had never seen so much meat in their lives. More importantly … there was a lot of meat all over the mountains and plains!
The warriors in the tribe had already moved the meat once. After putting it down, they moved it again without stopping. As for the old and weak in the tribe, they began to process the meat.
Many of the corpses that were moved back were incomplete. They simply cut them up and stored the whole piece of meat. Then, they threw the minced meat into the pot to cook.
The big stone pot in the tribe was not enough, so everyone moved the small pot in their cave out. Someone also went to pick some big leaves and wrapped the meat in them to roast in the fire.
There was an … unpleasant smell in the tribe.
In short, Zhou Ji did not think it was fragrant.
Of course, Xiong Ye did not think so. After such a torment, Xiong Ye was already hungry. Originally, Zhou Ji would have prepared food for him, but Zhou Ji's face was pale and he could not do anything.
Xiong Ye dragged his injured leg to the cave entrance and shouted, "Xiong Mao!"
Probably because Xiong Ye had hugged him during the Beast God Sacrificial Ceremony, Xiong Mao had been hanging around Xiong Ye for the past few days. Xiong Ye had also become familiar with Xiong Mao.
"Brother." Xiong Mao came over eagerly.
"Xiong Mao, do me a favor. Help me roast the meat," Xiong Ye said.
Xiong Bai threw down the raw meat and left. Not only was it badly mutilated and ugly, it was also inedible …
"Okay!" Xiong Mao answered happily.
That piece of meat was about 15 kilograms, and the bear fur itself was about 50 to 60 kilograms. If it was before he awakened, even if he could afford it, he wouldn't be able to bring such a piece of meat to the bottom of the cave to roast. But now, he could easily take it away.
Xiong Ye said again, "Is there any edible grass in the tribe? Give me some too. "
"Yes, yes!" Xiong Mao nodded and quickly left.
Xiong Ye then looked at Zhou Ji. "Zhou Ji, the meat was taken away. Don't be afraid."
"Thank you." Zhou Ji laughed.
"Did you come to find me yesterday? Were you frightened? "Xiong Ye asked again.
Zhou Ji nodded. "That huge beast …"
"He is very scary, but don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xiong Ye patted his chest to comfort his partner. As a result, he accidentally patted the wound on his chest and immediately cried out, "Ouch!"
Zhou Ji: "…"
Xiong Ye felt that the person from yesterday was especially powerful. He wanted to talk to him, but seeing Zhou Ji like this … he felt that it was better not to talk to Zhou Ji.
It was Zhou Ji who said, "Did the people in the tribe bring back a lot of meat? So much meat … how are we going to preserve it? "
Xiong Ye was taken aback and also a little worried.
In fact, the priest was already starting to worry.
Raw meat was very easy to rot and could not be kept for more than a few days. In the past, the short-term preservation of meat in the tribe was usually roasted — roasted meat could be kept for a few days. If one didn't mind, one could cut off the outer layer and roast the inner layer again before eating. This way, it could be kept for a longer time.
However, in order to preserve it for a long time, it had to be pickled.
In the past, at this time, their salt exchange team would have already brought back a lot of salt. Suddenly receiving so much meat, everyone would eat and drink for a few days and marinate some, so it would not go to waste. But now, they did not have enough salt!
If there was not enough salt to marinate the meat, the meat would not be kept for long and would go bad!
The priest was worried to death.
So much meat, wouldn't it be a pity to waste it?
Just as he was thinking about this, the hunting team brought back another batch of meat. Xiong He said, "There are no wild beasts on the other side of the mountain, only meat as far as the eye can see. Those in the tribe who can walk, follow me to get some meat!"
After they saw the giant beast, they could not leave the tribe and did not run, but all the animals had run away …
Originally, they would often meet scary dinosaurs and snakes, but this time, they did not even see a single one!
Xiong He felt that it was good to let the people in the tribe see the world.
The priest agreed, so the people in the tribe went out to carry the meat.
Xiong Mao hurriedly gave the roasted meat to Xiong Ye and followed them. Of course, he did not forget to give Xiong Ye some vegetables.
"Zhou Ji, time to eat." Xiong Ye called out to Zhou Ji.
The children in the tribe all went to carry the meat, but no one asked Zhou Ji to go with them.
Everyone knew what happened yesterday — Zhou Ji went to find Xiong Ye, but after running there, he fainted from exhaustion and had to be carried back … Asking him to carry the meat, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
After Xiong Ye called out to Zhou Ji, he took a big bite of the meat.
Zhou Ji looked at the "vegetables" that Xiong Mao brought over, but he felt helpless.
This kind of wild vegetable that the people in the tribe often ate did not taste good at all. He usually did not eat it, but that was fine … this vegetable was not only not fresh, it was also very dirty.
"Xiong Ye, I have no appetite, I'm going to lie down for a while." Zhou Ji said. He was also hungry, so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, and he needed to eat something.
But the ones that he killed yesterday were mostly centipedes and the like, he did not want to eat that kind of meat.
So, it was better to use the superpower that he had just recovered a little to accelerate the growth of some plants to eat.
"Go and rest." Xiong Ye said hurriedly, and took another bite of meat.
Zhou Ji entered their "bedroom", put down the animal skin curtain, and began to accelerate the growth of plants to eat.
Then, he helplessly found that no matter how much he ate, he was not full.
In the end, he simply stopped eating, and instead began to cultivate. At the same time, he began to ponder how to improve Xiong Ye's strength.
He had already developed a method that would allow beastmen to absorb energy from their bodies, but it was not perfect, and needed to be modified.
If Xiong Ye cultivated such a technique on his own, he would definitely be able to improve his strength much more quickly.
But the problem was how to give it to Xiong Ye.
He could do what he had told the High Priest, and make up a story about how he had received a gift from the Beast God. But given Xiong Ye's personality, if he gave the technique away like that, he would probably have the entire tribe cultivate it.
If that happened, the ecological balance would be destroyed, and if people found out about the tribe's strange behavior ….
A man's wealth is his own ruin.
From the look on Mammoth Heaven's face, it was obvious that most of the powerful experts in the outside world didn't know about the technique. Considering the circumstances, the fact that Xiong Ye had become so strong meant that he had consumed some sort of precious material to make the entire tribe stronger. How could that be possible?
If they really did that, it was possible that they would be exterminated before they could achieve any results.
After all, he had done his research. Without his help, it would take at least a year or two to reach Xiong Ye's current level. Those who were naturally weak might even need five or six years to reach his current level. As for reaching his current level ….
If he did not help Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye would be lucky to reach his current level by the time he was fifty or sixty years old.
As for the others … they probably would not be able to do so in their lifetimes.
If Xiong Ye wanted to quickly increase his strength, not only would he need to cultivate, but he would also need his help.
If Xiong Ye needed another fifty or sixty years to become as strong as he was, it would be too late. Who knew what would happen in those years?
He had to intervene, but how to intervene was another problem.
He was very strong, and very good at bluffing, but he was actually a paper tiger, easily broken with a poke. Inside, there was a bomb that would hurt both himself and others.
Once this situation was discovered, it would be too easy to deal with him. If he revealed his identity to Xiong Ye to teach him, it would be too easy for others to find out — Xiong Ye was not a person who could hide his thoughts.
At the end of the world, if those zombies had brains, they could easily kill him after he was exhausted after he went crazy.
Zombies did not have brains, but the people in this place, no matter how simple they were, still had brains. His weakness could not be known by others.
Moreover, he did not want to face a series of troubles after his identity was exposed.
Not to mention others, just take Xiong Ye for example.
Xiong Ye really liked him now, sincerely. But this affection, on one hand, was because they had become partners, and on the other hand, it was because he was very weak, which aroused Xiong Ye's desire to protect him. If the situation was changed, who knew what Xiong Ye would become?
Would he look at him with admiration every day? Would he look at him with trepidation?
Zhou Ji rubbed his nose, and then he saw Xiong Ye dragging his injured leg over. "Zhou Ji, Xiong Mao brought back a few fruits. These should be delicious."
Xiong Ye gave Zhou Ji a few fruits that Zhou Ji often ate, the ones that had a high yield but were very sour.
It was obvious that these fruits had been washed.
Zhou Ji did not think that these fruits would be delicious at all, but he still took it and ate it.
It was indeed very sour …
That day, the people in the tribe were busy, and they did not stop working until midnight.
The valley had become a sea of blood and corpses.
Zhou Ji was a little glad that he had already adjusted his condition, and his spiritual power had recovered quite a bit. Now, the pile of things would not affect him.
In fact, as long as he did not make a move, nothing would happen.
But once he made a move, it would be like a stress reaction, and he would immediately start killing.
This kind of thing was actually not rare. After the world war on Earth ended, there were soldiers who had experienced battle. When they were watching a play in the theater, they suddenly thought that they were in a battlefield and started killing people around them. Even their own wives and children were killed …
The sky was already dark, and the people in the tribe did not move the meat, but ate it instead.
Primitive people, who lived in an environment with insufficient food all year round, would not waste food. No matter if it was minced meat, smelly organs, or meat with a strong fishy smell, they would not refuse anything and would eat anything.
Zhou Ji used his spiritual power to observe the situation below, and he felt that he was watching a competition between big eaters.
These big eaters were each better than the other. Even the skinny and small people could eat 20 to 30 kilograms of meat, eating until their bellies bulged.
As for Xiong Ye … Zhou Ji had already watched him eat 40 kilograms of meat, and now his belly was also bulging. His original good figure was gone.
Zhou Ji touched Xiong Ye's belly and found that it felt especially good.
Xiong Ye also found it very interesting. "Zhou Ji, look at my belly, don't you think I'm pregnant?"
