Zhou Ji was actually also very surprised. He didn't expect that he could eat so much. He even felt unsatisfied and thought that another ten kilograms would be no problem.
But he didn't continue eating. This was Kumano's food, and he couldn't eat too much.
Seeing this, Xiong Ye said, "If you like this elephant bird meat, eat more. The honey you gave me is very precious and can be exchanged for a lot of meat."
"That's enough for me." Zhou Ji said.
"Then you can make it tomorrow." Xiong Ye said, and after thinking for a moment, he added: "If you don't finish it, it will go bad."
"You can give some of it away." Zhou Ji said. The original owner's mother left a lot of salt to the original owner, and he could also help Kumano pickle some meat. Although it is spring now and there should be no shortage of meat in the next six months, nothing can be predicted.
"Okay..." Xiong Ye nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Zhou Ji, can you help me roast another piece of meat? I want to give it to the priest." Zhou Ji had cooked about five kilograms of meat and roasted another thirty kilograms of meat, and the two of them ate it all.
Zhou Ji knew that there was a priest in the tribe, and he had even observed the priest for a period of time. Then he discovered that this priest who lived in a spacious south-facing cave below them was just an ordinary old man, nothing surprising.
However, the priest should serve as a doctor and teacher in the tribe. He knows a lot of knowledge and is therefore very popular and has a high status. Every time the tribe comes back from collective hunting, Xiong He will give the best meat to the priest.
Now Kumano wanted to send something to the priest, and Zhou Ji did not object.
Everyone in this tribe believes in the Beast God, and they also firmly believe that the priest is the spokesperson for the Beast God. It is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the priest: "You can also give some of this sweet cane to the priest." He was referring to the thing that looked like sugarcane that he brought back. Zhou Ji decided to call it sweet cane.
"Okay, I'll tell the priest that this is what you gave him." Kumano was very happy.
Zhou Ji smiled and started to grill the meat. At this time, Xiong Ye collected the bones and intestines of the elephant bird, as well as the meat that was chopped up during the cutting process, and took them to the collective cave and gave them to the elderly and children there.
The big stone pot in the tribe is usually placed there. The old people can cook these in the stone pot and share them with the children.
There is actually no shortage of food in the tribe recently, but no one will complain about having too little food, and hot soup is loved by everyone.
After delivering the things, Xiongye scooped some water to wash his hands, and returned to the cave, where he saw that Zhou Ji had already roasted the meat.
The meat Zhou Ji roasted was not big, only about five or six pounds. He chose the meat from the legs of an elephant bird. It was roasted until it was greasy and exuded a sweet aroma. It looked delicious. He also peeled the skin off the sweet potato stalks and peeled out sections of the sweet potato stalks and placed them aside.
Kumano felt that he could still have another meal!
But he did not eat it, but took the flesh of the elephant bird and went to the priest.
It was not yet dark when Kumano returned with the elephant bird, but now it was already dark, but the people in the tribe had not gone to bed yet, and most of them were having dinner.
The door of the priest's cave was closed, but a light was shining through it.
Xiong Ye knocked on the door: "Grandpa Priest!"
As soon as Kumano knocked on the door, someone came to open it. The person who opened the door was one of the apprentices selected by the priest before winter last year.
Just last winter, the priest decided to train a successor. He examined the children in the tribe and finally chose three to keep with him.
These three children, two girls and one boy, are only five or six years old.
"Kumano, you're here." Seeing Kumano, the old man sitting by the fire smiled. He was not young, with gray hair and beard, but his face was kind and he looked easy to get along with.
The Big Bear Tribe has only had two priests in total. The previous priest died fifty years ago, and the current priest is already seventy-eight years old.
If the people in the tribe do not encounter any accidents, they can generally live to be around 60 or 70 years old, but very few people can live that long. Now the oldest person in the tribe is the priest.
Although he is old, he seems to be in much better condition than those older people in the tribe who are younger than him. After all, he does not need to hunt.
"Grand Priest, I brought you some barbecue. It's roasted with honey and it's super delicious!" said Kumano.
"I knew you caught an elephant bird, but you also found honey?" The priest was a little surprised.
"The honey was not found by me. It belonged to Zhou Ji. It should have been left to him by his mother." Xiong Ye said. Honey is not easy to get. If you are not careful, not only will you not get the honey, you may also be stung to death by bees - there have been people in their tribe who have been stung to death by bees.
"He actually gave you the honey? That's good for you." The priest said, taking the meat from Xiong Ye's hand and taking a bite: "It's delicious."
"This was roasted by Zhou Ji! He also found this kind of sweet potato, which tastes sweet." Kumano handed a few sweet potato sticks to the priest.
The priest took the sweet stalk and took a bite, somewhat pleasantly surprised: "It's sweet! What does this plant look like? I'll write it down."
Xiong Ye said: "When Zhou Ji brought it back, there was only a long pole. I didn't see its original appearance."
"If there are more next time, bring them to me, or let Zhou Ji come and talk to me." said the priest.
"Okay, but he doesn't like talking to people." Kumano said.
"I can see it." The priest nodded. When Zhou Ji was a child, he couldn't speak or walk. Zhou Ji's mother asked him to take a look, but he couldn't see anything. Now that Zhou Ji suddenly got better, he actually felt it was very strange.
But Zhou Ji is still the same Zhou Ji, his smell and nothing has changed... He must have received the blessing of the Beast God, which is why he has gotten better.
Well, actually I haven’t changed for the better, I’m just not as stupid as before.
"In ten days or so, it will be the Beast God Festival. Are you still going to hold the partner ceremony?" asked the priest while eating barbecue. He liked Kumano very much and even wanted to make him his successor, but unfortunately Kumano was unwilling to stay in the cave all day.
The same thing happened to Xionghe, who he trained before Kumano. He finally learned enough and ended up becoming the clan leader...
So this time, he specially chose three children to teach and brought them to his side to raise, so that he could always raise one well.
"No." Xiong Ye said, and suddenly realized that he had not thought about Shi Li much in the past two days...
"Don't be sad. Without Shi Li, you might have a better partner in the future." The priest smiled. Compared to Shi Li, he liked Kumano, who he had watched grow up, more, so he naturally stood on Kumano's side.
"Grand Priest, are all the people outside forming couples?" asked Kumano.
"Of course." The priest said, "They will form a family with their partner and raise their children... This is what my teacher told me."
Kumano likes the kind of life that the priest talked about, but the people in their tribe are not used to forming partners, and few people would choose this way.
But even so, he still wants a unique partner and doesn't want his partner to be with someone else in the blink of an eye.
After talking with the priest, Kumano felt much better and returned to his cave happily.
There was a pleasant aroma of herbs in his cave, and Zhou Ji had already fallen asleep. Xiong Ye tiptoed to his nest, lay down, and soon fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, Zhou Ji got up.
After making sure that Kumano was asleep, Zhou Ji used his mental power to attract the surrounding energy, and then controlled this energy to approach Kumano's body.
After these energies entered Kumano's body, they began to run wild, and only a small part of them was absorbed by the crystal core in Kumano's body. Zhou Ji thought about it, and finally confined these energies near Kumano's wound.
The originally hideous wound slowly began to heal.
Zhou Ji didn’t do anything much. Seeing that the wound had healed a little, he let go of his hand and went back to sleep.
People in this world do not know how to use the energy that is everywhere in the air, nor do they have the ability to use this energy.
But Zhou Ji was different. Not long after he arrived here, he discovered the abundant energy around him. He also knew that if this energy could be utilized, it would definitely make himself, or any orc, stronger.
But he had no intention of telling anyone. The ecology here maintains a balance. He interferes too much and the ecological balance is destroyed. Who knows what this season will be like in the future?
It would be terrible if there were another apocalypse!
What's more, he used this energy because of his mental power, but the orcs here had no mental power, which meant that they had no way to use the energy around them.
Zhou Ji quickly let go of the thought and stopped thinking about it.
He had only lived a leisurely life for more than a month and didn't want to be tired. He could think about these things later.
Zhou Ji lay on his bed and fell asleep again, or rather, started practicing again.
At the same time, in Lang Yin’s cave, Shi Li was also practicing.
Practicing cultivation is not an easy thing, and one must be patient. When he and Kumano discovered the method of cultivation in the cave, he was unable to bear the patience to practice, so he achieved little results. Later, when Kumano practiced more and found that it was useful, he started practicing again.
Then, he and Kumano became stronger and stronger.
Later on, he realized that when the orcs became stronger and stronger, they could even become the king of beasts!
Other beast kings were transformed by chance due to what they ate, but he and Kumano were different. What they had was a training method that could allow everyone to become a beast king! How precious is it?
Doing it again, with previous experience, Shi Li practiced even more diligently.
Lang Yin felt a little annoyed when he saw Shi Li like this.
She had no intention of forming a permanent, one-to-one partnership with Shi Li, but when she invited Shi Li before, she planned to be with Shi Li for the next few years and give birth to one or even several children for Shi Li, but Shi Li's performance disappointed her so much!
Shi Li actually sleeps at home every day! Except for collective hunting in the tribe, I basically never go out!
When she wasn't hunting, she would go out for a walk and catch some small things to bring home, but Shi Li was just lying at home!
Lang Yin finally understood why Xiong Ye separated from Shi Li just when they were about to become partners. She didn't want a man who only knew how to sleep all day and never talked to her!
If Shi Li wasn't so handsome and powerful in beast form, Lang Yin wouldn't want to have a child with him.
Lang Yin had been pampered since she was a child, and she wanted to wake Shi Li up, but Shi Li was very fierce when she tried to do so before, so she decided not to do so. She found a corner in the cave and fell asleep in depression.
As a result, when she woke up, Lang Yin found that Shi Li was eating the meat she had saved.
Shi Li actually ate the meat she saved!
Lang Yin suddenly became angry: "You actually ate my flesh!"
"What's wrong?" Shi Li was puzzled. He was hungry, so what was wrong with eating some of Lang Yin's meat? He also felt that the meat didn't taste good because it had been left for several days!
