The Giant Tiger Tribe was so powerful, but they were scolded like this …
He must kill all of them!
However, even though he thought so, he had to agree with them.
Xiong Ye was lying on the haystack, watching this scene and felt it was funny.
He didn't interrupt, and neither did the other people in the tribe. In order to avoid being exposed, some of them didn't know that Ma Xiao came from the Giant Tiger Tribe — the priest only told them not to let others know that the big bear tribe was rich.
These people also didn't want others to know that the big bear tribe was rich.
They were going to face the cold winter soon. For many tribes, the winter was very hard. If those people knew that the big bear tribe was rich, they might come to join the big bear tribe, and their food would be taken away!
They didn't want their food to be taken away!
These people didn't say a word, and silently listened to the priest and the others scolding them.
As they scolded, it was time for dinner, and Xiong He began to distribute the food.
He had specially asked someone to find those small soil eggs, and this was what they were given. Apart from that, there were also some plants.
"Our tribe goes hunting every other day. Today is not a hunting day, so …" Xiong He looked at Ma Xiao embarrassedly, and then gave them some small soil eggs and a piece of smelly bacon.
This bacon was his.
Previously, there was a lack of salt in the tribe. When he cured the bacon, he didn't put enough salt, so the bacon became smelly. Originally, even if it was smelly, he would still eat it. But later on, Zhou Ji took out the method to make bacon, so the tribe didn't lack meat anymore …
He dried the smelly bacon, and then put it in the firewood shed — the smell of the bacon was really unpleasant, and he couldn't stand it at home.
After putting it away, he forgot about it, and only remembered it today.
Ma Xiao took the smelly bacon, and the corner of his mouth twitched. When had he eaten such a thing before?
But now, he was playing the role of an unlucky person who came out to trade for salt, but his goods were stolen … Ma Xiao could only grit his teeth and eat.
For a moment, he even suspected that the big bear tribe had found out something, but soon, he didn't doubt it anymore.
Because he saw that Zhou Ji brought a big piece of grass for Xiong Ye to eat.
Xiong Ye was said to be the strongest warrior in the tribe, but he could only eat grass …
He had never seen some of these grasses before, but he had seen some of them before. He had even eaten some of them before … In any case, they were not delicious!
Looking at the way Xiong Ye ate the grass, it was obvious that he didn't like it, but he still ate it. He ate a whole basket …
The big bear tribe must be very poor.
Of course, the poorer the tribe was, the more they liked to store food. Given the situation of the big bear tribe... did they only store stinky salted meat?
Ma Xiao felt a little disgusted.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xiong Ye look over and smile at him.
Ma Xiao quickly replied with a smile. Then, she saw Xiong Ye eating grass again.
These grasses did not taste good, but they contained energy that could make him stronger!
Xiong Ye ate seriously. As he ate, he suddenly thought of something. "Zhou Ji, do you want to eat some?" As he spoke, he picked up one of the most delicious grasses and brought it to Zhou Ji's mouth.
"Even if I eat it, I'll just be eating it for free." Zhou Ji said. Then, he took out some other grasses to eat. These grasses were much more delicious than what Xiong Ye ate!
Xiong Ye didn't know that there was a problem with the taste. Seeing Zhou Ji giving him grass that contained energy to eat, he was a little touched. Zhou Ji was too good to him!
But, how did Zhou Ji know that these grasses contained energy? Did the Beast Deity tell him?
Xiong Ye was puzzled for a while, but he didn't care anymore.
He realized that Zhou Ji especially liked all kinds of plants and was good at distinguishing them. This was definitely a gift from the Beast Deity.
Thinking about this, Xiong Ye finally finished his basket of grasses. Then, he received admiring gazes from the priest and Xiong He.
The priest and Xiong He thought to themselves, Xiong Ye is really going all out. In order to make the Giant Tiger Tribe think that they are weak, he actually ate grass! He even ate it raw!
When Ma Xiao arrived at the Giant Tiger Tribe, it was already late. When everyone finished eating, the sky was already dark.
Ma Xiao and the other two were arranged to stay in the cave where Zhu Zhan and his subordinates lived. As for Zhu Zhan and the others... they couldn't return to the tribe today. They were arranged to stay in the pottery making area.
The Shaman also gave them a task, which was to be on guard and not let the Giant Tiger Tribe discover their secret.
When their tribe was rich, the Giant Tiger Tribe might attack them out of greed, but they might also be afraid and not dare to attack them.
But if they were weak … the Giant Tiger Tribe would definitely attack them, and they probably wouldn't take them seriously!
So, in the middle of the night, Zhu Zhan had no choice but to bring his men to keep watch outside.
After Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji ate, they returned to their house. Then, Zhou Ji found a large piece of bacon and cooked it for Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye was recuperating, so he couldn't eat less!
After one night, Xiong Ye felt that his body was much better, and his body was full of energy.
Sleeping was the best way to recover his stamina!
But … even though he had eaten his fill last night, he was actually hungry again, and he was very, very hungry …
"Time to eat." Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye went outside and saw Zhou Ji making wheat oil frying.
This time, Zhou Ji made wheat oil frying. In addition to adding chopped vegetables into the batter, he also added chopped bacon. The wheat oil frying this way was a little broken, but it was especially delicious!
Xiong Ye felt that this was the best thing he had ever eaten!
He finished the wheat oil frying that Zhou Ji gave him in a few bites, and then said, "Is our meat not enough?"
He had been busy with building houses and fighting with Zhu Zhan and the rest. He didn't have enough time, so he didn't go hunting. He only used chili peppers and other things that Zhou Ji didn't lack to exchange for some fish for Zhou Ji.
As a result, they naturally didn't have much food left.
Now that they had moved … Xiong Ye felt that it was time for them to prepare food for the winter!
The empty house could be used to store food!
"It's not that it's not enough, it's that there's no more." Zhou Ji said. They still had a lot of barley eggs, but they had finished all the meat.
These few days, they first moved, then Xiong Ye was injured and needed to eat more, so he finished all the food in a short while.
"I'm going out to hunt today!" Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji: "…" You're injured, why are you still going out to hunt?
Zhou Ji didn't want Xiong Ye to go hunting, but Xiong Ye was very insistent. "There are priests and Xiong He in the tribe, there's no need for me. My injuries aren't very serious …"
"I'll go with you." Zhou Ji said.
With Xiong Ye's current appearance, it was fine for him to go out. If he wanted to hunt … he could catch some small prey.
But he might encounter danger.
So it was best to follow him himself.
"I'm injured, I might not be able to protect you." Xiong Ye was anxious.
"Then go and call a few people." Zhou Ji said.
Zhou Ji's gaze was firm, and he was obviously unwilling to change his mind. Xiong Ye could only say, "Alright …"
Xiong Ye originally wanted to call Zhu Zhan, but on the way there, Zhou Ji suddenly said, "Isn't it good if it's just the two of us? Must we call someone else? "
In Xiong Ye's heart, he also wanted to be alone with Zhou Ji. Hearing what Zhou Ji said, he immediately gave up on calling others, and brought Zhou Ji to the river near the tribe.
With just him and Zhou Ji, they definitely couldn't find dinosaurs to fight, so they might as well catch some fish and prawns to bring back to eat!
There were often people coming to the river near the tribe, and the smell was quite strong, so no dinosaurs came here to drink water. But there were still fish and prawns in the river.
Fish and prawns weren't smart, so even if they caught a lot, there would always be some swimming over from other places.
Xiong Ye planned to go into the water to catch fish, but was stopped by Zhou Ji. "The energy you used to catch fish can't be replenished even if you eat the fish."
This was the truth … The people in the tribe liked to lie down and not go out to hunt in winter, because after they went out to hunt and ate the prey they caught, they might not be able to replenish the energy they used up. Since that was the case, why would they still hunt?
And to Xiong Ye, the few fish that he painstakingly caught weren't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, so what was there to catch?
Zhou Ji said, "Let's go forward?"
Xiong Ye nodded and walked forward together with Zhou Ji.
As Zhou Ji walked, he used his mental power to observe the surroundings, to see if there was any danger, and if there was anything … edible.
With this scan, he really did find something edible.
In the distance, there was a giant salamander hiding at the bottom of the river.
The giant salamander was an amphibian that also existed on Earth. It had lived on Earth for a very long time, so much so that it was called a living fossil. And the reason why Zhou Ji remembered it was because someone near his house had been caught eating the giant salamander …
At that time, he had specially studied the giant salamander, so he naturally recognized it now.
Zhou Ji had discovered the giant salamander, but Xiong Ye hadn't discovered anything.
Xiong Ye was already prepared to return empty-handed.
He and Zhou Ji walked very slowly and didn't hide their figures, so the smaller prey would have long run away. The prey that appeared next to them was definitely not something they could defeat.
Of course, there wasn't such prey around the tribe.
Just as Xiong Ye was worrying, Zhou Ji suddenly stopped in his tracks and pointed to the river. "There seems to be something in this river."
"There's fish?" Xiong Ye asked.
"No, there's a big guy at the bottom of the river … I saw it move," Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye hadn't seen anything before, but now that he heard Zhou Ji's words and took a closer look, he realized that there was a black thing hidden in the rocks at the bottom of the clear river. It was something he had never seen before.
He didn't know what it was, but he could try to catch it …
"I'll go get a wooden stick," Xiong Ye said. Xiong Ye said and immediately walked to a place not far away. Then, he broke off a long wooden stick for himself and returned to the riverside.
That big guy still didn't move … Xiong Ye's eyes lit up, and he stabbed down with the wooden stick.
Xiong Ye was very experienced in catching fish. This time, he stabbed the big guy's body, directly piercing through its back.
Following that, the big guy began to struggle, but Xiong Ye wouldn't let his prey escape … He stabbed the wooden stick into the bottom of the river and pressed it down forcefully until the big guy couldn't struggle anymore. Only then did he pull it up from the bottom of the river.
This was a kind of creature with a round head, a long tail, and a black body. It looked a little like a lizard, but it was very smooth. Xiong Ye had never seen it before. "I wonder what it is and if it can be eaten."
"It should be edible." Zhou Ji smiled at Xiong Ye. "Xiong Ye, you're really amazing."
Xiong Ye loved to be praised the most. At this moment, he was beaming with joy. Then, he quickly dealt with the prey in his hands, pulling out its tendons and peeling its skin.
This prey was about two meters long and weighed about 70 to 40 kilograms of meat. It was enough for him and Zhou Ji to eat their fill!
Xiong Ye was in a good mood, so he didn't even notice that he had pulled on his wound. Then, Zhou Ji smeared a piece of herbal medicine on his wound. "Be careful when you move it."
"I will!" Xiong Ye said and picked up the Giant Salamander. "Let's go back."
Zhou Ji nodded.
After the two of them returned to their own residence, Zhou Ji kept half of the Giant Salamander and used the remaining half to make the Giant Salamander with pickled cabbage.
He didn't even waste the internal organs of the Giant Salamander. After Xiong Ye washed them, he chopped them up and stir-fried them with chili and beans.
This Giant Salamander didn't have any taste. Even if it was internal organs, he didn't reject it.
When cooking, Zhou Ji stuffed some soil eggs into the stove and used his mental power to keep an eye on them. When he took them out, they were all roasted to perfection.
Roasted soil eggs, pickled cabbage Giant Salamander, and chili stir-fried fish intestines. Both he and Xiong Ye ate until their bellies were round.
After eating and drinking to their fill, they went to the col together. Then, they found out that Ma Xiao had already left.
Xiong Qi laughed. "Our tribe is very shabby, and we don't have much to eat. We even scolded them all the time … They can't stay here!"
Xiong Bai followed up. "It's not that they can't stay here. Maybe they want to go back and find someone to deal with us!"
Hu Yue, who didn't like to talk, said, "I'll wait for them. I'll make sure they don't return!"
This spring, Hu Yue wanted to have a child. She had been looking for a suitable man in the tribe, but she hadn't found one.
Recently, she had gotten together with someone from the Giant Boar Tribe, but she hadn't gotten pregnant yet.
"Did they discover anything?" Zhou Ji asked the priest.
"No, I've been sending people to keep an eye on them." The priest said and told him what had happened this morning.
After Ma Xiao woke up this morning, he continued to ask about the tribe's news. He even asked them how they had hunted the heavy dragon — they had placed the heavy dragon's bones in the col.
Then, they told Ma Xiao that not long ago, a group of dinosaurs had come to their tribe. Among them, there were terrifying predatory dinosaurs. In the end, the predatory dinosaurs didn't know what was wrong with them. They didn't look where they were going and fell into a pond. Following that, two heavy dragons also fell into the pond and crushed the predatory dinosaurs to death!
Not to mention that, one of the two Heavy Dragons even fell ill and died of illness later on …
At that time, Xiong He even proudly said that when the heavy dragon fell sick, he was beside it and even went to bite it a few times.
He even proudly said that because of the harvest, their tribe should be able to survive the winter safely.
Xiong He and the priest showed Ma Xiao how weak their tribe was, and told him that they had saved a lot of meat … Zhou Ji felt that the Giant Tiger Tribe would definitely attack them.
This would be a tough battle for the Big Bear Tribe, but it was also beneficial to fight.
The Big Bear Tribe would eventually have to fight with other tribes.
Of course, they also had to learn to use their brains instead of brute force …
Zhou Ji didn't feel like teaching others, so he brought Xiong Ye back to his residence and started to teach him.
He had taught Xiong Ye some tactics before, but this time, he taught Xiong Ye how to train soldiers.
Zhou Ji didn't know much about training soldiers. What he knew about training soldiers came from novels, movies and TV plays, as well as military training. Therefore, he didn't tell Xiong Ye much. He only emphasized one point — you must choose obedient subordinates.
Sometimes, a few disobedient subordinates in a troop might bring down the whole troop.
Xiong Ye nodded seriously and asked Zhou Ji to write this down on bamboo slips.
Zhou Ji did as he was told. Then, he finally understood why ancient classical Chinese was so concise and comprehensive.
It was too troublesome to carve words on bamboo slips. Of course, they couldn't carve words in the vernacular!
Speaking of which … when Qin Shihuang reviewed the memorials, if he only read the memorials written in the vernacular, it would probably take a few hundred carts to pull all the memorials!
Zhou Ji could only hate himself for not learning classical Chinese well.
After carving two words, Zhou Ji stopped and said, "I'm going to cook. I'll do this later." He decided to wait until Xiong Ye wasn't around to carve the words with his mental strength.
With this thought, Zhou Ji turned and entered the kitchen.
As for the remaining half of the Giant Salamander … he would make it into a Boiled Giant Salamander!
The so-called Boiled Giant Salamander was actually similar to the Giant Salamander with pickled cabbage. It was just that the pickled cabbage in the soup was replaced with other ingredients.
He didn't have many spices on hand, so he couldn't make too many variations.
But even so, he became the chef with the best skills in the Big Bear Tribe and was worshipped by countless people.
Regarding this, Zhou Ji was also quite helpless.
While Zhou Ji was eating with Xiong Ye, on the other side, Ma Xiao had already found Cat Fire. With a cold face, she said, "How did you find out the information last time? The information you found was completely different from the truth! "
"I didn't follow you when you went to the Big Bear Tribe to investigate." Cat Fire was a little embarrassed.
"No wonder you don't know anything about the Big Bear Tribe." Ma Xiao told him what she had seen and heard.
"No wonder the Big Bear Tribe suffered such a big loss in our hands, but didn't react at all. So it was because they didn't have the ability to resist!" Cat Fire said. He was angry at the weasel who had "tricked" him.
This guy had always been timid. What he told him when he came back was probably all nonsense!
"No matter what they do, let's go back earlier." Ma Xiao smiled. "Once we're ready, we can attack the Big Bear Tribe. Then, as long as we capture the Priest, we can make the people in the tribe work for us."
Along the way, the Giant Tiger Tribe had met other tribes with Priests.
Like the priest of the big bear tribe, those priests didn't respond to it. However, the priest of the big bear tribe was also favored by the people in the tribe. Basically, as long as the priest was in their hands, those people would like to sacrifice themselves for them in order to prevent the big bear tribe from hurting the priest.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe hurriedly came and left.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe immediately went to take a bath and then made a sumptuous dinner.
With the help of Pig Zhan and the others, the Giant Bear Tribe really didn't lack meat at all.
Not only that, the dinosaurs they raised were also big.
After Zhou Ji proposed to raise dinosaurs, the tribe got a lot of small dinosaurs to raise, but later many died of illness. In the end, there were only about 70 dinosaurs left, and these dinosaurs were kept in different fences according to different races.
They had to eat a lot of plants every day. Some of the dinosaurs were too big and might break the fences if they continued to grow.
Those big dinosaurs were not suitable to be raised. Only those that weighed less than 500 kg after reaching adulthood were suitable to be raised. But now … Zhou Ji decided to eat a big dinosaur every other day.
By the way, he could also fatten up the people in the tribe before the Giant Tiger Tribe attacked them.
Zhou Ji's decision was very beneficial to Xiong Ye, because Xiong Ye could eat too much!
After becoming an intermediate beast warrior, his beast form would become much bigger. At this time, he naturally needed to replenish his energy and eat more food.
Xiong Ye now ate three meals a day. It didn't take him much effort to finish all the eggs and barley that Zhou Ji had saved.
Even the pumpkin was not spared.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji silently scattered the barley seeds in his yard.
Barley was more cold-resistant. If he planted it now, it would germinate and grow.
With such delicious food and drinks, Xiong Ye's injuries were completely healed in less than five days.
He looked at Pig Zhan and was eager to fight.
Pig Zhan: "…" This abnormal! He actually became an intermediate beast warrior not long after reaching adulthood. With this, he might even become a beast king in the future!
If he lived in a big tribe, he would probably be worshipped by others. Unfortunately, he lived in a small tribe …
Pig Zhan thought about this and looked away.
When Xiong Ye was still a low level beast warrior, he could deal with him. But now that Xiong Ye had become an intermediate beast warrior … He suspected that if he fought with Xiong Ye, he might be defeated by Xiong Ye after exhausting his physical strength like his subordinates.
He decided not to fight anymore!
Xiong Ye did not know that Pig Zhan had already made up his mind not to fight.
And now … To be honest, he did not intend to challenge Pig Zhan.
He was very interested in the chief of the Giant Tiger Tribe. After all, according to the information he received, the chief of the Giant Tiger Tribe should be an intermediate beast warrior.
According to Pig Zhan, intermediate beast warriors were not very valuable in the Beastmen Continent. But in the wild forest, they were very rare.
