In Mai Zi's memory, this person was named Dao Hua. He was a little younger than Mai Zi and his strength barely reached the standard of a first-level warrior. Of course, it was already commendable that he could become a first-level warrior at his age.
Li Qing laughed and said, "This is a squat. What I just did is called a push-up, which is used to exercise the body's muscles."
"muscle?"
"Ah, this is it."
Li Qing pointed to his arm.
"This is called the biceps brachii, and this is called the triceps brachii."
"I don't quite understand, but it looks pretty simple. I should be able to do it three or four hundred times," Daohua said, completely bewildered.
"...You can give it a try."
"Let's give it a try. By the way, Mai Zi, I'll be going later too. I heard you're coming with us?"
Li Qing nodded: "I will go with Dahei."
"Big Black?"
"It's very powerful. You can ask Li and the others if you don't believe me. If it weren't for Dahei yesterday, we might not have made it back."
Daohua exclaimed in surprise, "What happened?"
"Wait a minute, your posture is wrong," Li Qing said, seeing that Daohua's buttocks were sticking up too high and only her chest was touching the ground. "A real push-up is like this. Come on, do it with me."
As he spoke, Li Qing gave Daohua a proper demonstration, "It really is like this, do you understand?"
Daohua said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just about keeping your whole body close to the ground? It's very simple. Maizi, how many did you make just now?"
Li Qing: "One hundred, I guess."
"Only a hundred?"
Daohua looked on in disbelief.
Li Qing shrugged. One hundred was already a lot, even more than he had imagined. Even special forces like the Marines could only do fifty at most, assuming the form was correct. This exercise seemed simple, similar to walking, but only by actually trying it could one know how difficult it was.
“One hundred is already a lot. With your strength, I estimate you can only manage eighty or ninety,” Li Qing said.
"Pshaw, I don't believe it!"
Daohua lay down, and this time his posture was much more proper. He did it one after another seriously, and as he did it, he counted the number of repetitions as if he were preparing to slap Li Qing in the face later.
"Fifty-six, fifty-seven...seventy...huff, huff..."
What are you doing?
Li, holding two stone hammers, walked up to the two men and frowned.
“Li”.
Daohua stopped what she was doing and responded at the same time as Li Qing, smiling, "This is..."
Li tossed the two stone hammers in his hand to Li Qing and Daohua respectively, and turned to say, "Suit yourselves. If there's nothing else, go outside the tribe. We're about to set off."
"oh."
Holding the stone hammer, Daohua watched Li Yuan's departing figure and said with some disappointment, "Let's go, Maizi."
Holding a stone hammer in one hand, Li Qing followed Daohua out of the tribe, turning back to Dahei and saying, "Cheer up, Dahei, wake up, we should go!"
Big Black immediately barked, stood up, and quickly ran to Li Qing's side. The two of them and the dog walked out of the tribe together.
"I don't know why, but after seeing their bodies, Li seemed like a different person. His personality... became much calmer. Was it because of the grief?" Li Qing thought to himself. "He's very different from when he first shouted and threw himself out of the tribe. Chu and the others also saw the warriors' bodies, but their personalities didn't change as much as Li's. It seems that this event has greatly affected Li and has fundamentally changed his personality."
"Oh well, never mind."
Li Qing shook his head.
With his current strength, it's not time for him to worry about so much.
He looked back at the tribe.
Some of the women and children were sleeping, while others, under Dian's arrangement, had been given weapons. They were required to take on the responsibility of protecting the tribe when the hunting party went out hunting, even though most of them were not even first-level warriors.
"The fact that the hunting party is out hunting cannot be kept secret, nor can the location of their hunt. In other words, once the hunting party sets off again, it won't be long before the Black Wind Tribe is already prepared to ambush them once more..."
"Wheat, wheat?"
"Hmm, what?"
Li Qing didn't notice that Daohua kept calling him, so he turned his head to look at Daohua.
"What were you thinking about? Why didn't you respond when I called you?"
Li Qing simply made up an excuse: "I was thinking about our hunting trip. With Dahei around, we can usually avoid large carnivorous dinosaurs, so that's not a problem. But there are also a lot of man-eating plants there. I was wondering what would happen if I got eaten by them?"
Daohua was startled and gasped, "Maizi, please don't say such things! It's too, too..."
Daohua was so shocked by the mention of "man-eating plants" that she couldn't think of the next few words, so she just mumbled, "Anyway, don't say things like that!"
Li Qing stuck out his tongue: "If only the shaman could come along. He's very knowledgeable and would definitely be able to tell which is a man-eating plant and which is an ordinary plant."
Daohua said irritably, "How could that be? The Jiewu is supposed to be with the chief to protect the tribe."
Li Qing laughed it off, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."
Upon leaving the tribe, they found that there were about twenty people gathered outside. In Li Qing's memory, half of them were barely strong level one warriors, and the other half were ordinary level two warriors whose strength was far inferior to Li and Chu. Such a lineup was indeed somewhat rudimentary, but it was the best configuration that the Red Flower Tribe could offer. After all, they couldn't just send the entire army on a whim and leave behind an empty shell of the Red Flower Tribe.
Li and Chu seemed to be the captains of the hunting team. Li was busy inside the tribe, while Chu was busy outside.
Chu seemed to have recovered better than Li. After a nap, his personality reverted to its previous state, and he shouted, "You little rascals, some of you have never left the tribe, never participated in a hunt, and have never seen the terrifying Wild Boar King, or the bison with its huge, sharp horns... But that's alright, you'll see them soon enough. However, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand; the Wild Boar King and bison there are far more powerful than you imagine, and there's more than just those things! Dinosaurs, man-eating plants—these things are everywhere. But Li should have already told you about these things, so I won't force you. Anyone who's afraid can leave, no problem!"
"I've never known what fear is since I was a child!"
"Chu, with you here, we don't know what fear is!"
"The elders and children in the tribe are waiting for us to eat. Don't underestimate me just because I'm only a level one warrior; I'm not afraid at all!"
...
Chu looked at the group of young soldiers with satisfaction and laughed loudly, "Good, that's enough! Once Li and the others bring another group, we'll set off immediately!"
