Chen Ke acted immediately, deciding to practice on his own first to get a feel for it. After all, he hadn't used this body before, and the most important thing in body tempering was to refine the body. If he changed bodies, he would have to start from scratch.
"I'm going out for a walk," Chen Ke said to Yudi before running off into the distance.
"Hey, Chief Buko—" Yudi watched Chen Ke's retreating figure, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes. The rain had just stopped, and many wild beasts would come out to hunt at night. The chief had no experience in dealing with this, and it would be dangerous if they encountered any wild beasts.
Chen Ke was not a reckless person. After realizing that he was in another time and space and that the species were completely different, he did not run far away, but stayed around the cave where he was stationed.
He ran around the cave dozens of times with all his might, and then his breathing gradually became erratic. Finally, after persisting for twenty laps, Chen Ke stopped panting. The original owner's body was still quite physically fit in another time and space.
He's over 1.8 meters tall and can run several kilometers in one go, but in this primitive era, he's practically a weakling among these savages.
Shaking the mud off his feet, Chen Ke found a rock to sit down and rest. He mentally reviewed his previous body-refining techniques, trying to find one suitable for the wild people to practice.
As for himself, he should just stick to his old cultivation methods.
After searching for a short while, his stomach started growling. It turned out that the bowl of meat soup he had for dinner had been completely digested after his run.
Chen Ke sat up helplessly and began looking around for something to eat.
Very well, there are only waist-high weeds all around, not even a tree in sight, let alone any wild fruit to look for.
However, a gust of wind blew in his face, and Chen Ke actually smelled the... scent of a cricket.
Logically speaking, if the crickets were underground, Chen Ke wouldn't be able to smell them even with his sensitive nose. So, the crickets might have come up to breathe because the rain stopped.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke's eyes lit up. It was not worthwhile to dig a meter deep into the ground to find the slippery bug, but if the slippery bug climbed up by itself, wouldn't it be just a matter of bending over?
To confirm, Chen Ke followed the scent and searched for the insect. He eventually found it about a kilometer away from the cave, where it was "basking in the moonlight." There was a patch of white wildflowers where the insect was basking in the moonlight, and the edges of the flowers were silvery like moonlight.
The flowers bloomed gracefully under the moonlight, a scene truly like a dream, a fairyland.
Chen Ke curiously touched the flower, and information about the flower instantly appeared in his mind:
The flowers of the Lili fruit only bloom in March when all other flowers appear simultaneously. The flowers are as large as a bowl, white with silver edges…
There was much more information later, but Chen Ke only saw the sentence: "The flowers and roots are edible, and the flowers are very nutritious."
Flowers can be eaten? Then why do the people in the Youqi tribe only eat the roots and stems of the Lili fruit? And according to the system's description, the flowers should be more nutritious than the roots and stems.
Chen Ke picked a petal and put it directly into his mouth. The petal was thick and even had a sweet taste; it was quite delicious.
Already hungry, Chen Ke didn't bother with the crickets and decided to fill his stomach first.
Perhaps the flowers of the fruit here are really delicious, or perhaps Chen Ke was just too hungry and lost track of time while eating. He only realized he had been out for too long when he heard faint shouts in the distance, and the people in the tribe came looking for him out of concern.
Afraid of startling the crickets, Chen Ke could only get up and run back.
"Chief Buko, Chief Buko, where are you?"
"No, let's split up and search separately. If Chief Buko gets into danger like this, it will be troublesome."
"good."
"Okay." Just as the hunters split into two groups to go find Chen Ke, Chen Ke had already bent over and quickly approached without making a sound.
"who?"
"There's something there!" It wasn't until they were about ten meters away from the crowd that they realized what was happening.
"It's me." Chen Ke stood up from the bushes.
Upon hearing Chen Ke's voice, the tense hunting team warriors finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Chief Bu Ke!"
"Chief Buko, we're looking for you!"
"Shh!" Chen Ke made a shushing gesture.
Everyone immediately fell silent upon seeing this. Captain Karuru lowered his voice, "Chief Buko, what happened?"
“There are a lot of gnats ahead. Follow me and we’ll catch them all in one go.”
"Really? How much?" Karulu's eyes lit up immediately.
“Several hundred,” Chen Ke said.
"Wow, has the Lili fruit flowered?" The soldiers were instantly excited upon hearing this.
"That's for sure. Only when the Lili fruit blooms will the Lili insects rise from the ground."
"Chief Buko truly lives up to his reputation as the chosen one of the Savage Serpent Gods; he was fortunate enough to witness the blooming of the Lili Fruit."
"Then what are we waiting for? Chief Buko, take us there quickly!"
Chen Ke nodded and crawled forward in the same posture as before. Karulu, who was following behind, was very surprised. She did not expect that Chief Bu Ke would know the hunting forward posture and was only a little slower than the warriors.
A group of people approached the spot where Chen Ke had just been. Kalulu made a gesture to the soldiers behind her, and the soldiers immediately dispersed and flanked from both sides.
"Go!" Karulul commanded.
"superior!"
"Charge!"
"Let's catch some bugs!" A group of wild men excitedly rushed into the orchard.
"Come on! Quickly get some branches and string them together!"
"Here it comes, here it comes! Oh dear, this is so big, someone come and give me a hand."
"That one's running away! Catch it!"
"Be careful not to step on the fruit blossoms. We'll pick some for the children to enjoy later!"
Under the moonlight, the white blossoms of the *Lili* fruit tree reflected the light. A group of bare-chested savages, shouting excitedly, raised their forked stone spears high and thrust them into the ground at the crickets...
Looking at this scene, Chen Ke sighed that if this were a watermelon field, there would be so many Runtus here.
"Hahaha, look how many I've strung together!" A soldier held up the string of beetles in one hand.
Chen Ke glanced at it and thought, "Good heavens, there are at least twenty of them in that string."
Chen Ke once caught a cricket that weighed at least fifty pounds, so this string of crickets...
As expected of someone with a great physique from body training, lifting a thousand pounds with one hand is no problem for him!
Half an hour later, the soldiers wiped out the lazy caterpillars that had been lying on the ground basking in the moonlight. Chen Ke then ordered some of the soldiers to deal with the caterpillars on the spot, since the contents of their bodies were inedible and there was no need to take them back. Others began to pick the fruit flowers inside.
In no time, the soldiers had finished quickly and efficiently.
Bathed in the bright moonlight of the three moons, the soldiers returned home with a bountiful harvest.
Karulu walked at the front, cautiously observing the surroundings. The soldiers around him also intentionally or unintentionally protected Chen Ke in the middle, thinking that he probably didn't have much combat power.
