Li Qing has loved animals since she was a child, especially dogs. When she saw Dahei run up to her, she affectionately stroked Dahei's head and felt much better. She said, "I've only been gone for a few days, and you missed me?"
Big Black barked a few times, enjoying itself immensely, nuzzling its head in Li Qing's hand, and then stuck out its tongue to lick Li Qing's face.
"What a wonderful dog."
Li Qing looked at Dahei with great admiration. Due to the shortage of food, it was rather thin, but this could not hide the explosive power emanating from its body. Li Qing believed that after solving the food problem, he could train it well and it would definitely become his capable assistant in the future.
Li Qing lay on the dry grass, holding Dahei in both arms and lifting it into the air. Regardless of whether Dahei understood or not, he solemnly said, "From now on, under my training, you will become extremely, extremely powerful!"
“You are still young now, but I believe that one day you will have the ability to fight against the dinosaurs and ferocious beasts outside.”
Of course, Dahei couldn't understand what was being said. It just sensed that its owner was speaking in a very serious tone, so it barked in response, as if to show its respect.
“But it’s too early to talk about that now, Dahei. You are a child of nature. You haven’t left the tribe since I brought you back, have you?” Li Qing looked out of the tribe and said, “I’ll be going out for a while later. You have to come with me then.”
Big Black understood Li Qing's actions. It barked excitedly a few times, as if it couldn't wait to get out of the familiar primeval jungle.
Li Qing put down Dahei and let it roam freely for a while, while he took the opportunity to rest. Although he had herbal medicine applied to his body, the excessive blood loss still left him feeling quite tired.
Sleeping was out of the question; in such a short time, sleeping would only make him more tired. So Li Qing simply closed his eyes and rested.
It was Li who woke Li Qing up.
"For you."
Li shouted and threw a raw cow leg at Li Qing's feet.
“Cang said you haven’t eaten in a long time and you need to eat something to replenish your body, otherwise you might faint if you go back into the jungle,” a dissatisfied “humph” came from Li’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat it. If you faint, I won’t help you.”
Thank you!
Li Qing didn't stand on ceremony either.
Li Shen glanced at Li Qing, said nothing, left only a cow leg, and turned to leave.
For a man like Li, asking him to apologize is worse than killing him. Li Qing wasn't surprised by this. He picked up the cow leg and suddenly hesitated.
For a cultured modern person, eating raw meat and drinking raw blood violates his moral principles.
But Li Qing also knew that this was not a wilderness survival game, but a real primeval jungle. If he continued to follow his own habits and only wanted to eat cooked meat, he would starve to death here sooner or later!
Li Qing sighed. He actually really wanted to roast it over a fire and eat it, but "roasting meat" would always attract the tribe's attention, and now was not the time for that: "I'll just have to try it. Anyway, I'll have to eat raw meat sooner or later."
Without further hesitation, he took a big bite into the meatiest part of the beef leg.
With one bite, Li Qing swallowed the beef and blood together, chewing the beef with his teeth, which had a strong, fishy smell.
This experience was terrible for Li Qing. He felt nauseous after the first bite and could only force himself to swallow the meat.
After one bite, it's time for the second.
The second bite didn't feel as bad as the first. Li Qing chewed the meat hard, and even though he still felt nauseous, he could feel his body full of strength again. This was a benefit given to him by the raw meat and the strong physique of the primitive man.
Just as Li Qing was about to finish his meal, he suddenly heard a dog bark. Looking down, he saw Da Hei running around him, eyeing the beef leg with longing.
"Hey, I almost forgot about you, little guy, if you hadn't reminded me," Li Qing said with a smile, handing the beef leg to Da Hei and letting it bite off a big piece of meat. "You haven't had meat in a long time either, you must be starving!"
Big Black didn't stand on ceremony and took a big bite out of the meat.
"Dude, that's too ruthless! Leave some for me!"
Li Qing couldn't help but complain.
...
A beef leg is just a matter of a few bites for a person and a dog. Before long, the beef leg was gnawed down to the bone.
Li Qing lay on the dry grass, her hands clasped behind her head.
Given the tribe's current food resources, giving a cow's leg to one person is already a very extravagant thing. From this small matter, he could see that Li's attitude towards him had changed. Li Qing thought to himself, "This can't go on. After bringing Yong and the others back for burial, we must immediately reorganize the hunting team and go out to find food. Otherwise, the women, the elderly, and the children in the tribe will go hungry."
"But for some reason, the food sources in this area are becoming increasingly scarce. Even near Moonstone, we haven't seen many edible creatures. Could it be that the Black Wind Tribe has already hunted them down and taken them back to their tribe? If that's the case, if the hunting team sets off again, they may have to go to even more dangerous places. At that time, not only should a level one warrior like myself be careful, but experienced level two warriors like Li and Chu should also be extra careful."
"It's still a problem of insufficient strength. All the good things have been taken by the Black Wind Tribe. Now, the Black Wind Tribe has a much larger population and more warriors than the Red Flower Tribe. The only thing to be thankful for is that Dian and the others in the tribe have not been blinded by anger and have gone to seek revenge on the Red Flower Tribe."
"Given the current strength of the Red Flower Tribe, a direct confrontation is impossible to defeat the Black Wind Tribe. At that time..."
Li Qing was thinking about these future matters when, without realizing it, it was already noon.
Li and Chu found Li Qing, who was resting, with a group of soldiers already gathered behind them: "Maizi, let's go!"
Li Qing nodded. Behind these two were a group of level one warriors who were only slightly stronger than him; the lineup could not be described as luxurious.
But this was already the best configuration the tribe could offer; any better warriors... had already perished in the moonstone.
Li Qing patted Dahei and said to it, "Let's go, Dahei, let's set off!"
Big Black was full of energy; it seemed to have been longing for the outside world for far too long. It followed behind Li Qing, running around, and was getting restless.
"Are you taking it with you?"
Chu, who was leading the group, frowned when he saw that Dahei was also going to follow.
“It’s really powerful, isn’t it, Big Black?” Li Qing crouched down slightly and said to Big Black. Then he turned back to Chu and said, “Big Black has a very keen nose. It can not only help us avoid detours and get to the Moonstone as quickly as possible, but it can also help us detect dangers around us. In critical moments, it’s much more reliable than us!”
Chu remained silent for a while before saying, "If you want to bring it, then bring it."
Li: "Let's go, let's set off!"
