He was in a bad mood, so he wanted to eat more.
After eating, he took out the little salt he had left and rubbed it on the sharp-backed dragon meat.
One of the ways to preserve meat that Grandpa Priest had taught them was to marinate it with salt. However, there was no salt near their tribe, so they had to exchange for it elsewhere.
Usually, they would exchange it every spring.
At this moment, some of the older and more experienced warriors in the tribe went to exchange for salt. Xiong Ye had wanted to go and learn, but he wanted to be Lion Li's partner, so he did not go in the end.
When he thought of Lion Li, Xiong Ye felt his chest swell uncomfortably. He rubbed his round belly, transformed into his beast form, and fell asleep on the wooden bed he had made.
Xiong Ye was awakened by knocking on the door. Following the knocking, Xiong Bai's voice rang out. "Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye! Went hunting! "
Xiong Ye opened the door and saw Xiong Bai.
Today, Xiong Bai was a little different from usual. She wore a hat made of rattan with two small flowers on it. Her chest was wrapped in a red dinosaur skin.
It was quite a burden.
"Let's go," Xiong Ye said. He did not bring any weapons and went out directly.
Those in the tribe who were weaker in beast form would sometimes not transform into their beast forms when hunting. They would choose to fight in human form with weapons. But he was different. His beast form was his greatest weapon.
"Xiong Ye, why did you fight with Lion Li yesterday?" Xiong Bai asked as she chased after Xiong Ye.
Xiong Bai had witnessed the fight between Xiong Ye and Shi Li yesterday with his own eyes and had been shocked.
It was not that Xiong Ye and Lion Li had never fought before. The people in their tribe would often spar with each other. Xiong Ye and Lion Li were no exception. But yesterday, it did not seem like it was a spar!
Xiong Ye usually gave in to Lion Li, and Lion Li would not really fight with him. But yesterday … Lion Li had been scratched by Xiong Ye, and there were several large wounds!
She felt that Xiong Ye and Lion Li might have fallen out.
Xiong Bai was quite excited at the thought — if Xiong Ye and Lion Li broke up, would she be able to have a child with Xiong Ye?
Xiong Ye was strong and good-looking. Their children would definitely be good too. Moreover, Xiong Ye treated the children in the tribe who were not related to him so well. If they had children, Xiong Ye would definitely not be like some men in the tribe who completely ignored their children!
"Nothing." Xiong Ye quickened his pace.
"Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye, they all said that Shi Li was too lazy and angered you, so you beat him up. Is that true?" Xiong Bai asked again.
Xiong Ye really did not want to answer.
Although Shi Li's reaction and words yesterday made him feel very uncomfortable, the two of them had known each other for eight years. He had a feeling that Shi Li's words yesterday were not sincere.
Previously, Lion Li had been so happy to talk about the future with him. It did not look like he was unwilling at all.
Perhaps later, Lion Li would come to him to ask for peace.
Xiong Ye didn't want to answer Xiong Bai's question, so he casually changed the topic. "Why are you wearing that thing on your head today?"
Seeing that Xiong Ye was paying attention to him, Xiong Bai could not be bothered to ask how Xiong Ye and Shi Li looked. He quickly asked, "Do I look good?"
"You made this just to look good? It's a bit of a waste of time. When you transform into your beast form later, it will definitely spoil. "Xiong Ye said," When you have time next time, you can change it to weaving frames. "
Xiong Bai: "…"
Xiong Ye did not pay attention to Xiong Bai's changes at all. However, a few young men in the tribe surrounded Xiong Bai. "Xiong Bai, you look really good today."
"Xiong Bai, I went out yesterday and caught two frogs. You can eat roasted frogs."
"Xiong Bai, I have fruits here …"
…
The women in the tribe pursued either strong or good-looking men. The men in the tribe also pursued those strong or good-looking women.
"I caught a ridgeback dragon yesterday!" Xiong Bai said. He left the crowd of men and went to find Hu Yue.
The group waited in the col for a while. Everyone came one after another. There were at least a hundred people.
Xiong Ye patrolled the crowd and saw Shi Li. However, Shi Li did not look at him, so he did not look at him.
When everyone arrived, the chief of the tribe, Xiong He, said, "Let's go! Go and catch a big guy! "
"Okay!" Everyone responded and followed him out of the tribe.
Most of the warriors in the team were young. This was because many of the older warriors had gone to trade for salt.
Xiong He led them, and as they walked forward, he would also explain some knowledge and experience.
After walking for a while, Xiong He divided the people into groups of ten and went out to investigate.
Xiong Ye, Hu Yue, Shi Li, and even Xiong Bai were the leaders of this group of ten.
Xiong Ye led his subordinates to look around and suddenly discovered a few pentagons. When he raised his head, he discovered that not far away, Hu Yue and her men had also sneaked over.
The two of them looked at each other. The people in the tribe who were small and could not be easily discovered transformed into their beast forms and followed the pentagons. They went back together.
After they went back, the people from the other groups had also returned. Some people did not find any prey, while others found some small prey.
For example, Shi Li and his men had discovered some mutated teeth dragons.
Xiong He weighed the pros and cons and finally said, "Let's go catch a pentagon."
A pentagon was a type of horned dragon. It had five horns on its head. An adult pentagon was eight meters long and weighed more than five tons. To the people in their tribe, it was already a large dinosaur.
If it was a hundred years ago when there were no sacrifices, they would not even be able to escape when they saw such a large dinosaur. But now, with their combined strength, they could also hunt such a dinosaur.
"Chief, is a pentagon very large? Are we really going to catch a pentagon? "someone asked, feeling both excited and apprehensive.
"Yes, I'll bring you guys to take a look." Xiong He said, "It's still early. If we can't catch it, we can go catch something else."
Everyone agreed and walked towards the pentagon. Along the way, Xiong He told them about the pentagon. "There's a shield on the pentagon's head. It's very powerful …"
Shi Li frowned as he listened. "The shield of a pentagon is hollow. It's only used for mating."
"So that's how it is?" Xiong He was a little surprised. "We've seen a pentagon before, but we've never caught one. It's not worth it. It's actually hollow!"
Shi Li said, "The head of a pentagon is very large, and it even has horns. When we attack later, we can't attack its front. We have to attack from its back …"
Shi Li said a lot. He talked about the experiences he learned in the following days.
The people in the tribe listened very attentively.
Yesterday, many people had seen Xiong Ye beating Shi Li up. However, the people in the tribe did not care much about other people's affairs, so they did not care.
So what if Xiong Ye and Shi Li had a falling out? These two were still very strong and were the idols of most of the people.
Moreover, most of the people in the tribe who had awakened into bear-type animals liked Xiong Ye, but there were also people who had awakened into other animals who liked Shi Li.
Shi Li's mighty beast form and enthusiastic and flamboyant personality were still very likable.
Seeing the people in the tribe like this, Shi Li said, "Later, we'll do this …"
He began to arrange how they were going to hunt.
However, just as Shi Li was speaking, Xiong Ye said, "If we do this, people will die!"
Was a pentagon so easy to provoke? This was a giant beast with a body full of armor and long horns on its head!
"If we don't hunt like this, how are we going to hunt?" Shi Li asked in return. Although he had not hunted for a long time, the hunting experience he had learned when he wandered with Xiong Ye with the defeated warriors in the tribe was still there. He believed that his suggestion was definitely the best hunting method!
As for people dying … If they died, then they were too weak.
Xiong Ye glanced at Shi Li and said, "Drive the pentagon into the swamp." He had heard from Grandpa Priest about the method their tribe used to hunt prey as big as the pentagon. Usually, they would drive these big guys into the swamp and let them sink in. Then, these big guys would be at their mercy.
Shi Li was stunned. He finally remembered something — the tribe seemed to have done this in the past.
However, the swamp used by the tribe to trap their prey could not be used all year round. It was not easy to encounter such a big guy, so the number of times they did this was very low. He had long forgotten about it. He did not even remember where that swamp was.
"This time, I chose the pentagon because I want you to go take a look at that swamp," Xiong He said. Then, he talked about how to drive the pentagon away.
As for Xiong Ye, he had gone to observe the terrain a few days ago. He had also seen that swamp, so he shared some of his opinions.
Previously, when Shi Li was giving a long speech, many people paid attention to him. But now, everyone was listening to Xiong He and Xiong Ye.
Xiong He and Xiong Ye walked together, looking especially close.
They were uncle and nephew, and both of them had awakened brown bears. They were now the only two brown bears in the tribe. Naturally, they had a good relationship. Shi Li knew that Xiong He had always wanted Xiong Ye to be his successor.
In his previous life, after Xiong He died, he could become the chief because there were many things to do in the tribe. Xiong Ye was very busy and had to think of ways to find a new place to exchange salt. He could not stay in the tribe all the time, so he became the chief.
Now …
Shi Li suddenly realized that his previous actions were a little rash.
His foundation in the tribe was not as deep as Xiong Ye's. If Xiong Ye found trouble with him …
Previously, Shi Li was still thinking of being together with Xiong Ye even if they did not become partners. But after what happened yesterday, he had already given up on this plan.
Firstly, he knew that Xiong Ye would not agree. When he was young, Xiong Ye would not allow sand to be in his eyes.
Secondly, he couldn't get over the barrier in his heart.
Since that was the case … Shi Li suddenly realized that he should think of a way.
Everyone in the tribe went to listen to Xiong Ye and Xiong He. No one paid attention to him. Shi Li was a little annoyed when a young and beautiful woman came to his side. "Shi Li, you're amazing. You know so much about the pentagon."
When Shi Li saw this girl, his heart skipped a beat.
He still remembered the woman in front of him. She was the most beautiful woman in the tribe, and also Xiong He's favorite child, Lang Yin.
Lang Yin had always liked him, but compared to Xiong Ye, Lang Yin, who had been pampered since she was young, was really too weak!
