The clothes were made from plant fibers that he had peeled from the vines. The plant fibers were white at first, but after a while, they turned yellowish-brown, looking very similar to the sack that Elephant God had worn that day.
But overall, this kind of clothes was more like Zhou Ji's impression of clothes than the dinosaur skin clothes. After he used his energy to soften the plant fibers, it was quite comfortable to wear.
However, although he had clothes, he did not have underwear.
Riding a bear …
Zhou Ji was a little hesitant.
"Zhou Ji, just let Xiong Ye carry you!" "Zhou Ji has something very important to do when he goes out this time. All of you must protect him. Even if you can't get the salt, you must bring Zhou Ji back safe and sound!" The priest said, then instructed the people in the tribe.
Although salt was important, they would not die without it. If they could have a good harvest of eggs this year, they could trade for salt next year.
This was Zhou Ji's problem … Zhou Ji going out this time was the Beast Deity's idea. If something happened to Zhou Ji, the Beast Deity would definitely be furious!
The priest secretly touched Zhou Ji's clothes as he thought about this.
He had seen Zhou Ji weaving things these days, but he did not know what he was doing. It turned out that he was making clothes …
The clothes looked really good. When Zhou Ji returned, he would learn to make one for himself.
Xiong Qi agreed to the priest's request without hesitation. As for Xiong Ye … he turned into a brown bear and looked at Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji sat on the bear's back in the end.
The salt trading team set off.
The brown bear could stand up, but most of the time, it crawled on all fours. Zhou Ji sat quite steadily on the bear's back.
It was just that Xiong Qi, who did not turn into his beast form, was a little annoying.
"Xiong Ye, your beast form is already as big as the tribe leader. Amazing!"
"Xiong Ye, your injuries healed so quickly. Your body is so good."
"Xiong Ye, you walk so steadily!"
…
Zhou Ji: "…"
Xiong Ye: "I'm suddenly glad that I turned into my beast form and did not need to answer."
The surrounding people: "Xiong Qi has not been chasing after Wolf Voice recently, but chasing after Xiong Ye all day. Could it be that he likes Xiong Ye now?"
Xiong Qi did not know what others were thinking. He was saved by Xiong Ye the last time he was trading salt. Later, he went hunting with Xiong Ye and encountered the centipede, and it was Xiong Ye who saved him.
Xiong Ye had saved him twice, so he was increasingly grateful to Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye had saved him twice, so he was increasingly grateful to Xiong Ye.
Moreover, there was no harm in building a good relationship with Xiong Ye — Xiong Ye was the future chief, and Xiong Ye's man might even become a priest …
Xiong Qi was determined to follow Wild Bear's lead.
Thus, Xiong Qi, who was originally bad-tempered and bad-tempered, began his journey of bootlicking.
Xiong: "…" Xiong Qi: "…" Zhou Zhou Xiong Ye: "…"
Xiong: "…" Zhou Zhou Really had had nothing! He: "…" Xiong Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Ji he he he!
He had to walk properly and not bump into Zhou Ji.
In Lion Li's memory, it was Xiong Ye who led the team to trade salt. In the end, not only did they return empty-handed, they even lost some people. However, this time was different.
Xiong Qi was still alive, and the current leader of the salt team was still Xiong Qi. Xiong Ye's main purpose was to learn.
Xiong Qi talked irresponsibly at times, but he was reliable. He shared his experience in traveling long distances.
"Outside, life is not as good as in the tribe. The most troublesome thing is the rain. It's hard to walk on rainy days." Xiong Qi rambled on. "Before nightfall, we need to find a campsite to settle down. At least one side of the campsite has to be against a mountain or a rock, but it can't be near the water. There are many monsters in the water, and there are many dinosaurs near the water."
The first destination of the salt trading team was the Little Creek tribe where Xiong Qi had traded salt. They also planned to ask about the Giant Tiger tribe.
"The Little Creek tribe might not have much salt left. If that's the case, we have to go around the green mountain … no, the Giant Tiger tribe, then head east," Xiong Qi said.
It was Xiong Ye's first time out. He listened attentively, but did not express his opinion.
A team only needed one leader.
The weather was good on the first day. Xiong Qi brought them to the cave he used to stay in every time he came out to trade salt.
This cave was not a stone cave, but a mud cave. It was damp, but one could sleep in animal skins. Zhou Ji was arranged to sleep in the innermost area. Xiong Ye and the others lit a fire outside and kept watch in shifts.
Zhou Ji naturally had no objections. He crossed a few logs on the ground and covered them with animal skins. Then, in this small space, he used his energy to isolate the smell and ate to his heart's content — he did not have a chance to eat during the day.
The next day, the salt trading team set off again.
Zhou Ji had visited almost all of the surrounding areas of the tribe, so he knew exactly what kind of plants there were. Although he had been studying the surrounding plants along the way, trying to find a few that could be planted, he did not find anything. However, from the third day onwards, he began to find some useful plants.
Most of them were vegetables or fruits.
People in primitive tribes who used up a lot of energy needed high carbohydrates and protein. Thus, what Zhou Ji hoped to find the most was something that could be used as a staple food.
However, it was not easy to find.
On the way, he saw some plants that looked like wheat. After studying them carefully, he found that they were all very small grass seeds. They were not suitable for eating at all.
"Stop." Zhou Ji called for a stop again.
"What did you find this time?" Xiong Qi looked at Zhou Ji curiously. He was very happy.
"There's a plant over there that can be eaten." Zhou Ji pointed at a nearby plant. If he was not wrong, that should be a pumpkin.
Pumpkins were not suitable as a staple food for manual workers. They would get hungry after eating for a while, but they tasted good and should be very popular.
"We'll go pick it right away!" Xiong Qi was very excited. Xiong Ye, who had turned into his beast form and could not speak, snorted unhappily at the two of them. Then, carrying Zhou Ji on his back, they ran over there first.
It had been four days since they set off. In the first two days, Zhou Ji did not do anything. Xiong Qi and the others could not help but feel a little apprehensive. Then, in these two days, Zhou Ji found many things that could be eaten, and some of them were very delicious! For example, the melon that he had found not long ago was very sweet.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ji only gave half of it to them. He ate a little of the remaining half and fed it all to Xiong Ye!
Xiong Qi ran forward behind Xiong Ye. He had always felt that Xiong Ye was at a disadvantage in finding Zhou Ji, but now he felt that … Zhou Ji was not bad.
Not only did he eat little, he was also considerate and cared for Xiong Ye in every way!
As for him being very weak … he was willing to listen to the arrangements and not cause trouble for them.
I wonder what I can pick this time … Xiong Qi was a little greedy.
This time, the pumpkins that Zhou Ji saw were not ripe, but before he got close, he had already hastened the ripening of the pumpkins. He had even hastened one of them to ripen very well and got the seeds.
On this day, they set up camp early as usual. Then, half of them went out to hunt.
The salt exchange team had brought a lot of native eggs and some smoked meat. However, no one ate them. They were hungry along the way, so they hunted for food.
Although these things could be eaten, they were more willing to use these things to exchange for more salt.
Even the prey that they hunted along the way, if they could not finish it, they would save it and exchange it for salt.
They did not catch much prey that day, but if they divided it, it would be enough for everyone. They lit a fire and roasted it. As they ate, they listened to Xiong Qi talk about the Qingshan tribe. "The people of the Qingshan tribe are very weak. They often can't catch enough prey. They are very willing for us to exchange our prey for salt …"
Zhou Ji roasted the pumpkins by himself.
There were a total of seven pumpkins. After they were roasted, he gave four to Xiong Qi for him to divide. He ate one himself and gave two to Xiong Ye.
The ownership of these plants was his, so there was no need to split them equally.
"What is this?"
"Pumpkin." Zhou Ji said, "Try it and see if you like it."
Xiong Ye opened his mouth and took a bite. Then, his eyes lit up. "It's sweet!"
Xiong Ye did not like to eat sour things, but he liked sweet things very much. This pumpkin was actually not very sweet, but he liked it very much. He ate two pumpkins in one go.
There were a total of fifty people in the salt exchange team. The eyes of the remaining forty people were red — each of them could only take a small bite!
"This pumpkin is really delicious!" Xiong Qi ate his bite and exclaimed.
"In the future, the tribe will have this kind of pumpkin to eat." Zhou Ji said, "It has a high yield. You can eat as much as you want."
The eyes of the people in the hunting team lit up and they collectively swallowed their saliva.
In the past, they did not like to eat grass. Of course, that did not include soil eggs — soil eggs were not grass!
But now that they followed Zhou Ji, after a long time, they suddenly realized that a lot of grass was quite delicious …
This kind of pumpkin was even more delicious.
Even if they could not exchange for salt to bring back, it was not bad to have so many plants!
Everyone ate the roasted pumpkins and were happy when it rained at night.
The things that they brought that could not be exposed to the rain were wrapped in dinosaur skin, so it was fine. But because they did not live in a cave, all of them were drenched. Only Zhou Ji …
Xiong Ye let him stay on the tree and gave him a very large piece of dinosaur skin to put on his head so that he would not be drenched.
They did not sleep well at night. The next day, they walked in the rain for another day. At this time, even Zhou Ji was drenched.
Until night time, the rain did not stop. They had caught a dinosaur, but they could not start a fire to cuff it.
Just as everyone was frowning, Zhou Ji pointed in a direction and said, "We are going that way." He had been using his mental strength to find a place to stay and found a very large rock there. Under the rock, there was a hole dug out by the lizards.
They could rob the hole and take a short break.
In fact, not only did they rob the hole, but the lizards also became their food.
"Zhou Ji, you are indeed a person blessed by the Beast Deity. You are amazing!"
"We can finally have a good night's sleep."
"This cave is really spacious …"
…
The people in the salt exchange team were very satisfied. Only Zhou Ji was slightly helpless.
He was not satisfied with the life in the tribe. After coming out, his life was even worse.
Fortunately, it was better than the end of the world. There was food and drink.
With a cave, everyone's quality of life rose sharply. After Xiong Ye dried himself, he transformed into his beast form and hugged Zhou Ji to sleep.
What made them even happier was that the rain stopped the next day.
Their speed was very fast. Most of the time, they were running, just like herds of cattle and sheep migrating on Earth.
On the eighth day, they arrived at the Little Creek tribe.
"The Little Creek tribe is in front." Xiong Qi pointed to a low house built next to a mountain and said, "There are more than two hundred people in the Little Creek tribe. There are all kinds of beasts in the tribe, but most of them are not strong."
"Let's go take a look." Zhou Ji got down from Xiong Ye and gave him a set of clothes.
Along the way, he also knitted a sweater … No, a sack for Xiong Ye.
When Zhou Ji approached the Little Creek tribe, he had already used his mental strength to investigate the situation in the tribe. He did not find anything strange. But when he really came to the Little Creek tribe and met the people of the Little Creek tribe, he faintly felt that something was wrong — the expressions of these people when they saw them clearly told him that there was something wrong with them.
The people of the Little Creek tribe were very happy to see Zhou Ji and the others.
No, not the people of the Little Creek tribe — the Little Creek tribe had been occupied by the Giant Tiger tribe. Now, the people living in this tribe were actually the people of the Giant Tiger tribe.
