The snacks and a pot of not-so-thick porridge were quickly eaten up. Looking at the unsatisfied eyes of these primitive people, Wu Yue knew that they were not full.
But he had no choice. There were only so many snacks and fast food. Although there was still some food left in the space ring, but...
First, he couldn't take out all the food at once; he had to keep some for emergencies.
Second, some of these foods can be grown as seeds. It is obviously more cost-effective to plant, harvest and expand production of these precious products of the earth rather than use them to fill our stomachs.
So he hardened his heart and pretended not to see the expectant looks of these people.
Fortunately, due to his status as a "messenger of God", these people were very respectful to him, and even young children did not dare to come up to him to ask for food.
As the sky gradually darkened, someone went outside the cave to pick up some branches to expand the campfire, but this little temperature was of little use in fighting the cold of the night.
Wu Yue rubbed his hands, stood up, and walked towards the hot spring. After all, it was warmer there. Besides, he was a 'divine messenger' and would not 'defile the sacred spring'. Even the Great Wuxia would not stop him.
He did not deliberately lighten his footsteps, so the primitive man with sensitive ears next to the hot spring also turned his head to look in his direction, and Wu Yue's two eyes met four.
The leader woke up.
What an amazing recovery ability! It's only been a few hours, right? By the small fire, Wu Yue took a look at his appearance. He hadn't felt anything when he closed his eyes and fell unconscious, but now he could tell from his appearance that he was extraordinary. His eyebrows were strong and his features were clear.
Especially his eyes, which were ambitious, majestic, extremely sharp, sparkling, and with clear black and white.
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, but for some reason he managed a flattering smile and greeted, "Hello, Chief. I'm Wu Yue."
The chief seemed also surprised by this 'language of God' that sounded strange yet still had its meaning. He stared at Wu Yue for a long moment before speaking in a cold, hard voice, "I am Xiao, the leader of the Sharp Fang Tribe. I heard from the Great Shaman that you saved me?"
You're so rude! You didn't even say thank you? Wu Yue was a little annoyed, but he suppressed it and replied with a smile, "I guess so. I gave you some medicine from my hometown, and it seems to be working well." His eyes swept to the disposable paper cup next to him and he said, "How does the food taste?"
What I mean is, you not only use my medicine but also eat my food, so you'd better be polite.
Xiao also looked at the cup and nodded. "It has a very special taste. It makes me feel warm in my stomach." He looked up again, this time with a little politeness. "I heard that everyone has tasted this kind of food. Thank you."
Now he looked a little like a leader. Wu Yue approached and sat down beside the fire: "You're welcome."
After he sat down, he stopped talking, waiting for Xiao and Xia to speak up and confirm his identity as the "God's Messenger". It would be best if they would tearfully beg him to stay and save the tribe, so that he could "reluctantly" accept the invitation.
But after waiting for a long time, the two primitive people remained silent. Finally, Wu Yue couldn't hold back any longer and simply laid it on the table: "Although I brought some clothes and food from my hometown, the quantity is not much, but I have seeds and knowledge. If you are willing to accept me, I will let you live a life without hunger or cold."
Xiao looked at him, something flashing in his eyes. He didn't decide whether to accept Wu Yue, but asked, "Where are you from?"
"Earth!" Wu Yue spoke reflexively, but the confused expressions of the two people opposite him reminded him of the alien's explanation, so he had to change the introduction: "I can't tell you the specific name, but it's a very good place. People... most people, at least the people I've met, don't suffer from hunger or cold. People use various tools to make food and clothes. These tools also allow us to fly in the sky like birds, swim in the water like fish, run like beasts, make the night as bright as the day, and hear each other's voices and see each other's faces even thousands of miles away..."
He spoke carefully, but the more he spoke, the more he felt pitiful for himself sitting in the cave at this moment. So he stopped talking silently and said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's more or less like this. It's a very good place..."
"Divine Realm!" Xiao and Kasumi exchanged glances, each seeing the word in the other's eyes.
"Then why did you leave there!?"
"Do you have all the knowledge to make these tools!?"
They both spoke at the same time, but their questions were completely different. Wu Yue pulled himself together and answered Xia first, "I was sent here by someone from another place. That place is much more powerful than my hometown. I can't tell you the specific reason why they sent me here, but I have to say that he saved me."
Then he looked at Xiao again: "I'm sorry, that's very complex knowledge, and it requires a lot of very complex materials. I don't have the ability to make this world the same as my hometown. As I said just now, I can only ensure that everyone will not go hungry or cold."
A trace of regret flashed across Xiao's eyes, but Xia was already very pleasantly surprised: "Of course, of course! How could something from the Divine Realm come to us casually? As long as we don't starve or freeze, that's good enough!" She stood up and knelt on one knee towards Wu Yue, "Respected Divine Messenger! Thank you for coming to the Sharp Fang Tribe!"
Wu Yue was stunned. He wanted to play tricks but no one fell for it. How come he was given the title of a messenger of God even though he told the truth directly?
Seeing that Wu Yue didn't react, Xia glared at Xiao.
Xiao struggled helplessly and knelt on one knee, but his voice remained cold and hard: "God's Messenger."
The prophecy of the great witch of the previous generation:
He recalled the food he had just eaten and looked at the beautiful clothes Xia was already wearing.
Will this person really save them from hunger and cold and lead the Sharp Fang Tribe to prosperity?
Will this person really become his...lifelong partner?
Seeing that even the stone-like leader Xiao acknowledged that he was a messenger of God, Wu Yue accepted the title with some embarrassment: "Please stand up. No need to be polite. I can't go back to my hometown anymore, so building this place better is also for my own benefit."
The two stood up, and a small leadership organization of the primitive tribe was born. Wu Yue looked at Xia: "By the way, I heard that you fled here. What happened?"
The alien from the S-class civilization mentioned that they were scattered. Based on his observation just now, these primitive people did not seem to have lived in this cave for a long time. It seemed that they were hiding from someone.
Sure enough, Xia was filled with indignation when this was mentioned: "Damn hyenas! They took over our territory for the sake of salt!"
Thanks to the great communication pill, Wu Yue understood that Xia wasn't talking about real hyenas, but rather a tribe named after them. For salt? Wu Yue rubbed his chin and began to think. Salt is essential for survival. If the disparity in strength between the two sides wasn't too great, perhaps he should lead his men back?
So he asked, "How many people are there in the Hyena Tribe? How far is your original territory from here?"
Xia replied, "There were only three hundred of them, but most of them were men, brutal and bloodthirsty! Our tribe is small to begin with, and there are more women than men, so escaping was a problem. That's why only half of them escaped."
Only half of them ran away? Wu Yue was surprised. "Does that mean there are still more than a hundred people in the Hyena Tribe? What will happen to them?" Those are brutal and bloodthirsty primitive people! They definitely won't have any preferential treatment for prisoners. Maybe... these prisoners will even be killed and eaten.
Xia shook her head: "We dare not go back to inquire, but those are women, they will not be killed."
Wu Yue's breathing stagnated. Even if he wasn't killed, he would definitely...
He sighed silently, but this was primitive society, and women were a resource... The other side had only three hundred people. Once they had rested and gathered strength, they might be able to fight back and take back the people, salt, and territory.
Not knowing what Wu Yue was thinking, Xia continued, "We were chased for three days before we got here. We were almost freezing to death, but luckily we found this cave and the sacred spring." She gently touched the hot spring with her fingers, "This must be a blessing from God!"
"Well, actually..." Wu Yue hesitated, but finally said, "This is called a hot spring. It's not a gift from God, but was formed by crustal movement or something like that."
Xia looked at him in surprise, and Xiao also looked over, but didn't seem that surprised.
Wu Yue then gave his primitive friend a science lesson, trying to explain it in a simple and understandable way: "Where we live, the surface is land, but deep down, in places that humans can never dig, there are scorching flames. These flames don't stay still. Sometimes they erupt from mountains connected to the ground. Other times, they don't erupt, but stay close to the ground. When water flows through these places, hot springs are formed."
Their eyes widened at this, and Xiao asked, "Divine Realm... does your hometown also have hot springs like this?"
They actually called the Earth the Divine Realm—
Wu Yue nodded. "There are many. Some water is very warm and we bathe in it. Some water is very hot and we can use it to cook food. But some water cannot be touched and is harmful to the human body."
After the science briefing, Wu Yue took the opportunity to say, "So, the gods of this naturally formed spring don't care whether it's 'contaminated' or not. They can let those outside come in to cleanse themselves. Dirty people are more likely to get sick, and keeping it clean is good for our bodies!"
Xia opened her mouth to refuse, but Xiao patted her arm. He smiled for the first time since waking up, though it was only a slight curl of his lips. "The Messenger of God is right. We should let everyone share the divine...hot spring."
He looks much better when he smiles! Wu Yue then realized that this leader was actually quite young, only around twenty years old. On Earth, he would probably still be a college student.
After successfully securing the right to use the hot springs for outsiders, Wu Yue felt more confident in his status as a "God's messenger", but he currently had some other difficulties.
"To be honest, Great Wizard, Chief, the food I have now is only enough for everyone to eat once, except for what I have to keep for planting." Although there were many snacks and fast foods in the express delivery, there were too many people. How could he feed more than a hundred mouths?
"Don't worry, Divine Envoy." Fortunately, Xiao immediately took on the task. "I'll lead the team out hunting tomorrow! Planting... takes a lot of time, right? The Sharp Fang Tribe won't let you starve during this time."
That's the best. Wu Yue nodded, and suddenly remembered something. He took out a Tang sword from his space ring and said, "I have something good. It will definitely come in handy!"
I just have to work hard to sharpen it tonight.
