What should you do when the person you like is no longer loyal? Find another one!
This time, in order to avoid trouble, Xiong Ye chose the weakest man in the tribe as his new companion.
Zhou Ji was not weaving ropes, in fact, he was weaving clothes.
He felt uncomfortable wearing dinosaur skin clothes, and now he had given himself the identity of the spokesperson of the God of Beasts, so naturally he should dress better. Anyway, he didn't want to wear an animal skin robe like a priest.
The linen clothes on Xiangtian gave him inspiration, and he decided to get himself a set of linen clothes like this.
However, he couldn't find hemp around the tribe, so he finally chose a substitute - the vine he used to use as thread for sewing clothes.
When the skin of this vine is peeled off, long white fiber strips will appear.
This fiber is about the size of a toothpick, not soft, but very tough and not easy to break. It can be used as wool to weave clothes, but it's a bit troublesome...
Zhou Ji was lying on a few large leaves, drowsily... knitting a sweater.
He had never learned to knit a sweater, but this was not a difficult task. After holding the vines and using his mental power to try it, he quickly figured out a weaving method. As for how to weave it into a set of clothes, he figured it out slowly.
As a person with psychic powers, it's impossible that he can't even learn how to weave clothes.
After learning... Zhou Ji thought he could try weaving wool and then try making sweaters with animal hair.
Of course, the fur of the Kumano can probably only be used to make blankets... most of the fur is too hard.
While Zhou Ji was concentrating on studying how to weave clothes, Xiong Ye left the tribe to go hunting.
A few days ago, their tribe picked up a lot of meat, and everyone ate a lot, but Zhou Ji didn't eat it.
Although there are local eggs to eat recently, Kumano feels that people still need to eat some meat to have strength.
And... Zhou Ji couldn't be told about what happened last night. Xiong Ye felt a little guilty and wanted to be nicer to Zhou Ji.
Everyone in the tribe had things to do, and he didn't plan to go far this time so there wouldn't be any danger, so Kumano went out alone.
But after going out, he felt something was wrong.
It's too quiet around the tribe...
In the past, after he left the tribe, even if he couldn't find prey immediately, he could always smell the scent of dinosaurs, but today he didn't smell anything.
There seemed to be no dinosaurs around the tribe...
Realizing this, Kumano's face changed.
The tribes in this forest are all far apart from each other because if the tribes were too close, there might not be enough prey to eat.
There were more and more people in their tribe, and there were actually not enough prey. In order to catch enough prey, they had to hunt in farther places... and now, there were no dinosaurs around their tribe!
Kumano walked forward with a frown, and finally found two dinosaur nests with seven or eight dinosaur eggs in them, but the mother dinosaurs were not there. No one knew whether they were killed by the mysterious man or ran away - it was said that when the mysterious man was pulling up trees on the mountain, the dinosaurs, birds, snakes and other creatures around the tribe all fled very quickly.
Could it be that all the dinosaurs around the tribe have run away?
Kumano wrapped seven or eight dinosaur eggs in leaves, tied them into a string with vines, and walked towards the tribe with them.
After he returned, he first went back to his cave, put the dinosaur eggs away, and then took one of them to the priest.
Zhou Ji was in charge of the planting area outside, and the priest stayed in the tribe. When Xiong Ye went over, he was counting the smoked meat and eggs in the tribe.
"Priest grandpa!" said Kumano.
"Kumano, you're here." The priest put some branches used for counting aside and looked at Kumano: "What's the matter?"
"Grandpa Priest, here you go." Xiong Ye gave the priest an egg and said, "Grandpa Priest, I went outside the tribe and found that all the dinosaurs outside the tribe had run away."
"This matter..." the priest said, "Xiong He has already told me about it. I was worried at first, but now I am not worried anymore."
"Grandpa Priest?"
"Although those dinosaurs have run away now, as long as there are enough plants here, they will come back in the future. Moreover, now we have earth eggs and bacon, the tribe will not lack food!" The priest said: "Thank the Beast God for giving us so many earth eggs! The tribe will be fine this time!"
Dinosaurs will run away, but they will also come back. The priest is still very optimistic. What's more, the Beast God knew that their tribe would encounter a crisis, so he gave them so many earth eggs and would definitely not let anything happen to them!
Kumano looked at the food in the warehouse and felt that there was no need to worry too much.
With so much food, it should last a long time, right?
Kumano felt relieved and went to the Xiong River again.
Xiong He has already collected a lot of things that can be exchanged for salt. The first choice is those inedible animal skins and shells. It is a pity that many of those animal skins are rotten, and many of the centipede shells are broken.
"That powerful man has incredible destructive power!" Xiong Hedao said.
"He is extremely powerful!" said Kumano.
Hearing this, other people in the tribe said, “Yes, that person is amazing.”
“I don’t know where he went.”
"Why doesn't he come to our tribe? Our tribe is so good..."
…
After these people discussed for a few words, Xiong He immediately stopped them: "Don't discuss that adult. If he is unhappy, you will all die!"
The people in the tribe were afraid to speak any more.
Xiong Ye said: "That gentleman should not be a person who cares about things."
Until this moment, Kumano was still a little bit in disbelief. He found it hard to believe that he had encountered such a good thing and received the favor of that powerful man.
The man didn't tell him anything last night, and he didn't dare to ask. Now he is still confused and doesn't understand why he is willing to teach him.
But even so, there is one thing he is sure of, that is, he must seize such an opportunity!
"Kumano, you don't know that adult." Xionghe said to Kumano.
Kumano touched his nose and stopped talking.
In the evening, the tribe ate smoked meat and boiled eggs together.
Xiong He no longer distributed meat, but cooked meals instead.
Zhou Ji never went to get food before, and the people in the tribe were happy with him not going to get it, but now that he was loved by the Beast God, the situation had changed... Xiong He gave him a big bowl, which was a little bigger than a modern wok.
Zhou Ji gave them all to Xiong Ye. He felt that the smoked meat and boiled eggs were not as delicious as simply roasted eggs.
When they were making smoked meat, the people in the tribe had no experience at first and always accidentally burnt or blackened the smoked meat. Later, after repeated experiments, they were able to produce a good product. But now, what they are eating are all failed products.
Zhou Ji didn't like that burnt smell at all.
Xiong Ye actually liked this kind of food very much. He ate two large bowls of bacon and boiled eggs by himself, and then said to Zhou Ji: "I brought back some dinosaur eggs. You can have some scrambled eggs later."
"Okay." Zhou Ji smiled.
However, when he saw those dinosaur eggs, Zhou Ji could no longer laugh.
Kumano was still saying, "Can you make me a bowl of scrambled eggs later? I'll save it for dinner, okay?" He didn't actually want to eat it himself, but wanted to give something to the mysterious man... Scrambled eggs should be okay?
"No." Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye was confused. Zhou Ji didn’t give him scrambled eggs?
"This egg...the little dinosaur inside is about to come out." Zhou Ji said. He habitually scanned the eggs with his mental power and found that there was no longer egg liquid inside, but a dinosaur.
On the other side, the priest took a stone and planned to knock a hole in the egg that Kumano gave him, and then pour out the egg liquid inside to eat, but the result was...
The egg moved and a crack appeared on it.
The egg opened by itself before he could knock it.
A little dinosaur came out.
priest:"……"
That night, Xiong Ye went to bed early and didn’t even ask Zhou Ji to help him.
He has to go out to practice at night!
Zhou Ji didn't expose him and just lay down.
Xiong Ye said: "Zhou Ji, if I become very powerful..."
"You can definitely become very powerful." Zhou Ji said.
Xiongye kissed Zhou Ji and felt that Zhou Ji was so nice for trusting him so much!
It's a pity that he can't tell Zhou Ji about his own affairs...
At night, after Zhou Ji fell asleep, Xiong Ye left the cave quietly.
Zhou Ji followed him out, took Xiong Ye away, and watched him practice for the whole night.
In just two nights, Kumano didn't achieve anything, but if he persisted, he would definitely become very powerful...
The next day, Zhou Ji gave several dinosaur eggs to the captain of the collection team.
"Is this a gift from you?" The leader of the collection team was a woman named Xiong Ping.
However, although her name is Bear, she is not actually a bear...her animal form is a raccoon.
At that time, the priests were not familiar with this animal and simply classified it as a bear.
Xiong Ping was also a member of the hunting team at the beginning, but later she gave birth to many children, so in order to take care of the children more conveniently, she joined the gathering team.
Xiong Ping did a great job in the collection team and became the team leader, managing a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the team.
She is a very hardworking person and doesn't like lazy people. Naturally, she didn't like Zhou Ji before, but now... Zhou Ji is the spokesperson chosen by the Beast God!
After seeing the ripe earth eggs, her attitude towards Zhou Ji had completely changed. Now that Zhou Ji gave her a few eggs, she felt even more flattered.
She even felt that she didn't deserve such a thing.
"It's not for you." Zhou Ji said, "The little dinosaurs inside are about to come out, you can raise them."
"Raise?" Xiong Ping was surprised.
"Raise it?" The priest who was carrying out the newly hatched dinosaur and planning to find someone to kill it and stew it for him was also surprised.
"The little dinosaurs are too small, so it's better to raise them until they grow up and then eat them. This kind of dinosaur is herbivorous, so we can just give them some grass to eat, and they are easy to raise." Zhou Ji said.
It's too difficult to feed the entire tribe by hunting alone. If possible, we should farm and raise livestock...
"That's a good idea!" Xiong Ping said, and then asked, "Where should we keep it?"
"We can use wood to make a fence here to keep these dinosaurs in." Zhou Ji pointed to an area next to the col. The dinosaur that Kumano gave him was a scaphopod, a type of ankylosaur. When fully grown, it was about four meters long and could grow to two hundred kilograms. It had thorns on its back that gave it high defense but it couldn't jump high, so it was quite suitable for breeding.
As for the fact that this dinosaur has strong combat power...it's okay, the people in the tribe have strong combat power too.
"What is a fence?" Xiong Ping asked.
Zhou Ji picked up a few branches and stuck them into the ground, demonstrating how to do it.
Then that afternoon, he saw the people in the tribe made a fence about 30 meters long and 10 meters wide using wood thicker than a person, with no gap in the middle.
With such a thick piece of wood stuck deep into the mud...there's basically no need to worry about the dinosaurs running away.
Zhou Ji felt relieved when he saw that the work was done.
Time passed almost in the blink of an eye.
The little dinosaurs hatched quickly. As egg-laying creatures, they could eat grass as soon as they were born. One of them died because of its weak body, but the rest survived.
After discovering that he could actually raise dinosaurs, Xiong He even hired someone to go out and get some dinosaur eggs and baby dinosaurs that were left behind by the big dinosaurs that had escaped a few days ago. Most dinosaurs did not need to be incubated. Although their parents had run away, the baby dinosaurs would break out of their shells and look for food on their own. Some of them could not find their parents after breaking out of their shells and were wandering around, so they were easily brought back by the people in the tribe.
Zhou Ji agreed with this. If they hadn't also raised carnivorous dinosaurs...
Fortunately, the newly born carnivorous dinosaurs were not very good at hunting and were not as big as some herbivorous dinosaurs. In the end, they starved to death and did not cause any harm.
Ten days passed quickly and the salt exchange team was finally ready to set off.
This is a big event in the tribe! On that day, the entire tribe came out to see the salt-exchanging team off.
When the salt-exchanging team left, they took a lot of goods with them, so Niu Er and some of the others turned into their original forms and carried the goods on their backs.
As a fighting force, Kumano doesn't need to carry cargo, but he feels that he can't relax.
Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji and asked, "Do you want to ride a bear?"
