When Chen Ke regained consciousness, the first thing he sensed was his smell. A strong scent of grass and an indescribable wild animal aroma lingered around his nose. Then his ears twitched, and a cacophony of sounds entered his mind.
A woman's voice said worriedly, "What should we do? Buko has been sleeping for so long. Now that we're on our migration journey and can't find the Great Shaman, if he keeps sleeping like this, won't he also end up meeting the barbarian god?"
“Luya, don’t talk nonsense. The Savage Serpent God will protect Buko,” a slightly older voice said.
"Poor child, he must be so sad that he doesn't want to wake up because his father went to see the barbaric god."
“Impossible. Buko is so stupid that he doesn’t even recognize who his father is. How could he be sad?” another childish voice retorted.
"That's right, all he does all day is eat. If the chief hadn't been trying to feed him the Gulu Beast, he wouldn't have had his stomach gored by the horn of the giant bull."
"What nonsense are you two spouting! Our chief was injured while hunting for our entire tribe and went to meet the barbarian god. How can you blame it on Buko? He's already pitiful enough for losing his father," Luya shouted in rebuke.
Listening to the chattering arguments outside, Chen Ke began to have the system transmit the original owner's memories.
In just one second, Chen Ke had received all of the original owner's memories.
Such speed gave Chen Ke a bad feeling, and when he reviewed it in his mind, the bad feeling came true.
The original owner's memories were scattered and disorganized; he was a true prehistoric fool.
However, this prehistoric fool's wish was strong and clear: to not go hungry, to ensure that this person didn't go hungry, and to ensure that person didn't go hungry.
"This and that" refers to the clansmen who had always treated the original owner quite well. The original owner had no concept of people's identities or titles; her entire memory was filled with "this and that"...
Since the original owner had a clear wish, things were easier. Chen Ke remained lying down without moving, asking the system about the plot of this world in his mind.
The system told him that this was a wild and desolate world, and the original owner was the stupid son of the chief of the Youqi tribe in the wilderness. He was born stupid and mentally challenged. Normally, such a stupid person would not be able to survive in the wilderness, but because his father was the chief, he was protected and survived in the tribe.
However, the Youqi tribe is very similar to the original nomadic tribes. The entire tribe migrates with the migration of animals, and each migration results in the death of a large number of tribesmen, especially the old, weak, sick and disabled. This is why the Youqi tribe has never been able to become strong.
This year, the harsh winter in the wilderness seemed to have come particularly early. The original owner's father had no choice but to order the migration before the tribe was ready. On the way, due to insufficient food, they had to risk hunting, but were gored in the belly by an enraged bull.
The original owner's father was rescued by his tribesmen who were hunting with him, but in this barbaric era where everyone had to rely on their own bodies to endure illness or injury, the original owner's father finally passed away painfully one night three days ago.
The Youqi tribe was already in a state of panic due to insufficient food supplies, and now that they have suddenly lost their leader, the entire tribe is plunged into panic.
Coupled with the continuous rain over the past two days, the tribespeople were trapped in the cave and had nowhere to go. Anxiety and despair filled the entire cave.
Under such circumstances, the original owner, who was already mentally challenged, went out and got caught in the rain. When he returned with a high fever, no one noticed. By the time Chen Ke transmigrated, his body was already ice-cold.
Chen Ke: ""
With such a cold body, it's unlikely that the fever will flare up again; otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he could pull through.
"Master, shall we activate the system this time?" the system suddenly asked.
Chen Ke: "What system? Tell me about it?"
System: "Master, this time we will provide you with an encyclopedia system. Do you wish to activate it?"
"·····Activate".
"Hello, the encyclopedia system is dedicated to serving you."
Chen Ke hadn't activated the companion system in the previous world, and now, suddenly hearing that "professional" voice again, he actually felt a sense of familiarity.
He opened the encyclopedia system panel.
The text above simply states: "Try it wherever you don't understand."
Chen Ke opened his eyes while complaining, "Your system interface is getting more and more rudimentary."
The system was probably feeling guilty, because it didn't utter a sound.
The cave was dark and damp. Chen Ke was lying on a large rock covered with dry grass, and some dirty-looking wild men were sitting around him.
Seeing Chen Ke open his eyes, Lu Ya was overjoyed. She crossed her hands and kowtowed to the ground, chanting, "May the Savage Serpent God protect me, may the Savage Serpent God protect me, Chen Ke has finally woken up."
"Child, you're finally awake." Chen Ke had just heard that slightly aged voice say to him. Chen Ke turned his head and saw a clean-looking wild man who looked a bit old, with kind and wise eyes.
Chen Ke noticed that he even had a snake-head cane, and guessed that he must be an elder sage or someone of high status in the Youqi tribe. So he tugged at the corners of his dry mouth and slowly revealed a smile.
He needed to quickly demonstrate that he was no longer the fool he once was, otherwise, given the current situation of the Youqi tribe, he might end up behind with the elderly, weak, and sick who were too old to move when the main force set off again.
Lacha the wise man was indeed surprised to see Chen Ke's smile. You see, the original owner of this body had been dull and expressionless since birth. Let alone smiling, he wouldn't even move his eyes if someone walked up to him.
The two little wild children who had been playing nearby also saw it, and with wide eyes and curious expressions, they approached Chen Ke. "Bu Ke, Bu Ke, are you not stupid?"
Chen Ke looked at the little wild man who suddenly approached, and his nostrils were instantly filled with an unpleasant smell. He frowned slightly, feeling that the original owner's sense of smell was excessively sensitive.
This wouldn't be a big deal in modern civilization, but in this backward and barbaric era, it was truly a terrible ordeal.
Seeing Chen Ke's deeply furrowed brows as if he were disgusted by something, Lu Ya, who had just gotten up from the ground, was also shocked. "Bu Ke? Are you really not stupid?"
Luya had a loud voice, and when she shouted, most of the savages sitting in the cave looked over.
Chen Ke seized the opportunity to clarify himself, sat up and nodded, "It's like my mind suddenly cleared up. Before, I was always shrouded in a white cloth, unable to see or say anything clearly."
As soon as Chen Ke's hoarse voice came out, all the savages stood up in shock.
"My God! Our barbarian serpent god has appeared! Has Buko stopped being stupid?"
"Really? Buko actually spoke!"
"Could it really be the manifestation of the Savage Serpent God?"
"Wisdom Lacha, has the Barbarian Serpent God manifested?"
At this moment, the wise man Lacha tapped his cane on the ground, stood solemnly before the crowd, and said in a deep yet loud voice: "People of the Youqi tribe, our Manwu Snake God has appeared, which has awakened the chief's son who has been sleeping all this time. The Manwu Snake God is telling us that he has not abandoned us. We must cheer up and overcome this difficulty. The Manwu Snake God will always protect us!"
