However, Chen Ke and Karulu walked side by side together.
"What is it, Chief Buko?"
Chen Ke glanced at the sky with an unfathomable look, "Actually, when I was awake, the Savage Serpent God bestowed upon me a body-refining technique. The technique suddenly appeared in my mind. I thought it was just my imagination, but I just practiced it and it's quite useful."
Karuru asked in surprise, "Cultivation techniques? What are cultivation techniques?"
Chen Ke: "...It's a method that can make our bodies stronger and more agile, while also increasing our attack power."
"So, after refining it, you can hunt more prey?"
"certainly."
"Then what are we waiting for, Chief Buko? Let's start training now!"
"Don't rush. Before we start practicing, we need to familiarize ourselves with each part of our body. Let's walk and talk..."
Chen Ke decided to teach Karulu first and then let Karulu teach others. He also needed to seize the time to train his body and improve his strength.
As expected of the hunting team captain, Karulu not only has a good memory, able to remember what Chen Ke said after just one time, but also has a very quick mind and can apply what he has learned to other situations.
When they returned to the cave, Karulu had a general understanding of human body parts. He was surprised that there was so much profound knowledge about just one body. Moreover, Chief Buko said that if he could train each part to the extreme, he would be able to kill a beast with one punch in the future!
Outside the cave, children and women were all eagerly waiting, and they cheered as soon as they saw a figure appear in the distance.
"They're back! They're back!"
"Have you found the leader yet?" someone asked urgently.
The children quickly climbed to the top of the rock and looked out. "I see him! I see Chief Buko! He's coming back with the hunters!"
"Oh dear, thanks to the protection of the Savage Serpent God, the chieftain has returned safely."
"Wow! They brought back so many crickets! I saw Dad carrying so many crickets!" Buku had already digested what he ate that night, and he was thrilled to see that the hunting team had brought back crickets.
"It's truly thanks to the protection of the Black Serpent God."
Chen Ke and his soldiers spotted the tribesmen guarding the cave entrance from afar, and they hurried back into the cave.
Wow! So many crickets!
"And there's the Lili Fruit Flower! My Savage Serpent God, there's the Lili Fruit Flower!"
"Hahaha, Buku, look how greedy you are! This was found by Chief Buko, so hurry up and thank the chief."
"Thank you, Chief Buko. You're really lucky. We haven't seen so many Lili fruit flowers in a long time."
Chen Ke smiled and said, "You're welcome. You can take them and divide them up."
Buku took the fruit blossoms from the soldier, but instead of eating them immediately, he gave the first one to Li Chenke. Although Chenke had already eaten quite a bit, he didn't refuse because it was a sign of respect and goodwill from the child.
The warriors had gone out to look for Chen Ke that night, but they didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise. The people in the tribe were overjoyed, and the gloomy and negative mood they had during dinner was swept away.
Seeing how happy they were, Chen Ke simply had the women start a fire and cook. With so many crickets, there was enough for everyone to have a bowl.
Lacha stood at the cave entrance, his serious face revealing neither joy nor anger. Chen Ke thought he would disagree, since these crickets could be saved for breakfast tomorrow. He was about to go over and explain to him when he was surprised to find that Lacha turned around and carried out a few pieces of dry wood from the cave.
"The rain has stopped, let's cook outside."
······
Surprisingly, they were quite interested.
Chen Ke was already half full and didn't plan to eat anymore. He said goodbye to Garulu and went back into the cave.
Body tempering is all about close combat, emphasizing every punch landing. It is divided into seven realms, where you must temper your flesh, tendons, skin, bones, internal organs, spinal cord, and brain into membranes. This allows you to store a large amount of qi and blood, providing sufficient energy during combat and protecting your organs from damage.
The first stage, "Refining Flesh and Generating Membrane," mainly involves fusing the mind, soul, body, and matter into a unified membrane. This step involves developing muscles. When the practitioner is in combat mode, the muscles swell with blood, and the blood energy surrounds the practitioner, forming a domain within a one-meter radius. The warriors of the Youqi tribe have already achieved this.
Therefore, Chen Ke is a step behind the soldiers. Now he must seize the time and cultivate together with the mental cultivation method. Since he is a leader, it would be unreasonable for him to be weaker than the soldiers.
The revelry outside didn't last long, because the warriors were going hunting the next morning. After sharing the worms, everyone quietly packed up their things, trying not to disturb their rest.
This time, everyone received something, especially the women and the group of "old, weak, sick and disabled" sitting in the corner. They hadn't eaten anything for dinner before, but after drinking a sip of hot soup, their stomachs were finally no longer aching from hunger and they couldn't sleep.
The children had already drifted off to sleep, smacking their lips contentedly. The women quietly moved the fire closer to where Chen Ke was sitting, afraid he might catch a cold.
Yudi sat at the cave entrance, his eyes closed as if he were dozing, but his ears were keenly listening to the sounds outside, remaining vigilant at all times.
That night, the people of the Youqi tribe finally slept soundly.
The next day, just as the sky began to lighten, Chen Ke ran back from afar, covered in sweat. Yudi, whom he had spotted when he went out, was waiting for him at the cave entrance.
Only when Chen Ke ran closer did they move back to the corner. Chen Ke, panting heavily, walked slowly at the cave entrance to calm his breathing. Yudi watched with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
As a wisp of dawn rose, daylight officially arrived, and the sounds of children playing and women talking drifted from the cave, as the tribespeople gradually began to gather.
A moment later, the soldiers came out, weapons in hand, each one full of spirit and high morale. The wise man Lacha also came out with a solemn expression, holding his serpent staff.
The soldiers spontaneously lined up to wait for the blessing of the wise man of Lacha before their departure, and Chen Ke walked over.
“Chief, let’s go by ourselves this time,” Karuru said.
The wise man Lacha looked at Chen Ke and nodded in agreement, saying, "Chief, you have just awakened and are not yet familiar with hunting. This time, let Karulu lead the team by herself."
Lacha was being euphemistic about hunting, but the real reason was probably that he was afraid Chen Ke's lack of experience and poor combat skills would hold them back. However, Chen Ke really wanted to go this time, partly to see the beasts of this world and partly to observe the warriors' hunting methods.
"It's okay, Karuru, you must have seen my speed last night. I was just watching from the side. If there's danger, escaping won't be a problem."
"But--"
Chen Ke interrupted Karulu, "Don't worry, I'll protect myself."
Seeing Chen Ke's resolute attitude, Karulu stopped talking, only thinking to herself that she must pay close attention to the leader's surroundings to ensure his safety.
