Although Shi Li's behavior was strange, Xiong Ye didn't take it to heart. They had fought side by side this morning. Now... maybe Shi Li was having a nightmare?
Xiong Ye continued to walk up the steps and soon came to the entrance of a cave and shouted, "Aunt Ying!"
This cave is where Shi Li's family lives. The cave is not big and the location is not very good. The door made of wood chips and vines is very thick and covered with a thin layer of mud.
This was done by Kumano for them before winter came last year.
Kumano's mother raised many children and had no time to take care of him, so he lived with the other children and elders in the tribe since he was a child and learned many skills.
The door was opened, and a middle-aged woman who looked very thin, as thin as a bamboo pole, with wrinkles around her eyes came out.
This woman was Shi Li's mother, Yang Ying. When she saw Xiong Ye, her face was drawn: "What are you doing here?"
Yang Ying doesn't want Shi Li and Xiong Ye to be together. Ever since Xiong Ye and Shi Li decided to become partners, her attitude towards Xiong Ye has plummeted.
Kumano didn't quite understand this. He is very strong, and it is obviously beneficial for Yang Ying to be a partner with Shi Li, isn't it?
As for not being able to have children... there are so many children in the tribe, and there are many orphans. If they want children, they can just take a few to their cave to raise them... and the fact that they don’t have children, what does that have to do with Yang Ying?
However, the person in front of him was Shi Li's mother, and Shi Li still valued her very much. When Xiong Ye faced Yang Ying, his attitude was still very good: "Aunt Ying, I killed a Lesothosaurus, I'll send some to you."
Only then did Yang Ying notice that Kumano was holding a prey in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the Lesothosaurus and he reached out to take it.
But Kumano didn't give it to her.
Xiong Ye reached out and tore the Lesothosaurus into two halves, then gave the half with the more internal organs to Yang Ying: "Aunt Ying, this is for you."
The Lesothosaurus had been dead for some time, and not much blood flowed when Kumano tore it in half, but the scene was bloody enough. Yang Ying was startled and showed disgust on her face, so she did not take it immediately.
Seeing that Yang Ying didn't take it, Xiongye placed the half of the Lesothosaurus on the stone platform beside the door, nodded at Yang Ying and left.
In their tribe, children will leave their mothers when they become adults, and most of them even leave their mothers before they reach adulthood. They will never live with their mothers again. At most, when the food distributed to the elderly and the weak in the tribe is not enough, they will send some food to the mother who raised them - if the father also assumes the responsibility of raising the children, then they will give his father a portion.
In their tribe, the relationship between parents and children is actually not that close, and everyone is used to it.
Xiongye is nice to Yangying only because she is Shili's mother, but it is impossible for him to worship Yangying.
After leaving Shi Li's house and walking a few steps, Xiong Ye saw a fair-skinned young man wearing a large animal skin sitting on the ground at the entrance of the cave next to him. He was chewing something that was probably a plant stem, while looking at him, or... looking at the meat in his hand?
Kumano stopped and looked at the young man with a frown.
The young man in front of him was called "Zhou", two years older than him. In the tribe, they were considered peers, but they had never played together. Because Zhou was very stupid, he hardly left the cave when he was a child.
If such a child was born in another family, he would definitely be abandoned, but Zhou's mother was different. She kept raising Zhou.
Zhou's mother was very powerful. Nearly one-third of the people in their tribe will awaken into various bears, and one-third of them will awaken into bears with higher combat power. Zhou's mother is one of them.
A mother bear with cubs is not easy to deal with. Zhou's mother was not easy to deal with either. She had always taken good care of Zhou. Even though Zhou could never learn to hunt or even communicate with people, she never let Zhou go hungry.
Until she died.
Two months ago, Zhou's mother went out hunting alone and never came back.
Everyone knew that his mother must have died outside.
In the first few days, people in the tribe who had a good relationship with Zhou's mother would come to visit Zhou, but gradually, no one cared about him anymore - people died in the tribe every year, and no one would stay immersed in pain forever.
And then... Zhou almost starved to death.
He was probably too stupid to take his share when food was distributed in the tribe, and others thought that he had food saved by his mother at home and did not take it seriously.
Thinking of this, Kumano sighed.
A month and a half ago, when he came here to find Shi Li, he saw Zhou crawling out of the cave where he was now, and discovered that Zhou was almost starved to death.
He gave Zhou some food at that time, and Zhou survived. Then, probably because of the life-and-death experience, Zhou changed a lot and was actually willing to walk out of the cave.
However, Zhou Du has grown up, has not awakened into any animal, and has never received any training... It would be harmful to him to let him participate in hunting. He can only follow the gathering team to collect nearby.
The people in the collection team are all old people, children and disabled people. Zhou is the only young man with all his hands and feet. Even so, it is said that Zhou is often distracted when collecting, and the amount of things he has collected is not even as much as some children.
I'm afraid his brain isn't fully recovered yet.
"Zhou!" Kumano shouted.
"Hmm?" Zhou, who had fair skin and clean animal hides, looked at Kumano.
Kumano tore off half of his Lesothosaurus's forelimb and gave it to Zhou, then patted Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Eat well, exercise well, and try to join the hunting team!" Zhou was like this... When the tribe distributed food to him, they gave him the same amount as the elderly and children. How could such a small amount be enough for an adult? I'm afraid Zhou will be hungry every day.
When Kumano was a child, he was starving again. He stared at the prey that Zhou's mother brought back. Zhou's mother had given him food before, so he didn't mind giving Zhou some.
Kumano said and left.
Zhou looked at his back, then looked at the front paw, frowning slightly.
At this moment, a boy of about twelve or thirteen suddenly ran out from the side and reached out to grab the front paw.
Seeing that the front paw was about to be snatched away by the child, Zhou suddenly reached out his hand, picked up the paw before the child, quickly entered his cave and closed the door.
"Puh!" The child spat at Zhou's door and ran into the cave where Yang Ying lived nearby.
At this time, Kumano had already arrived at the north side of the valley, in a cave where a fire was lit all year round.
The cave he lived in was very simple and there was not even a fire in it. Therefore, when he caught prey, he would go to the place in the tribe where there was fire to roast the meat.
He gave most of it to Yang Ying and some to Zhou. The original 20-plus kilograms of Lesothosaurus were reduced to only 6 or 7 kilograms. Xiong Ye roasted it over the fire and ate it all, including the bones and meat.
While Xiongye was eating meat, Shili had already come to a hillside near the tribe and turned into a human form again.
He found some leaves and tied them around his waist, feeling a little embarrassed when he looked at himself.
He doesn't even have a piece of clothing now and can only wear a fur skirt!
But in the same way, Shi Li was also confused.
He ran a circle, looked carefully at the valley at the foot of the mountain which had long been blurred in his memory several times, bit his arm again, and finally confirmed one thing - he had returned to a hundred years ago.
He went through hardships all the way and finally became the King of Beasts. He then went from prime age to old age. As a result, just when he thought he was going to die and return to the embrace of Mother Earth, he found that he had a young body again and returned to his youth...
After being confused, Shi Li was indescribably happy. He finally let out a long roar towards the sky, startling some birds in the nearby trees. One of the birds flew away in panic and dropped some bird droppings on his head.
Shi Li was furious and reached out to crush the bird to death, but the bird had already flown away...
With the strength he had before his death, it would have been easy for him to catch and crush such a bird to death, but now he simply did not have the ability to do so.
At this time, he was not yet the powerful Beast King he would become later on, but just an ordinary person who had awakened and become a good animal.
Shi Li suddenly woke up and looked down the hillside.
The Beast God favors him and gives him a chance to start over. What should he do?
After running a lap just now, Shi Li almost knew the current time - he has just become an adult and has not yet formed a partner with Xiong Ye.
In his previous life, after he and Kumano became partners, several powerful dinosaurs came to the vicinity of the tribe. The current chief, Kumano's uncle, died in a battle with these dinosaurs, and then he became the chief of the tribe.
Later, their tribe was attacked by other tribes and driven out of the valley. He and Kumano led the survivors of the tribe to wander.
That wandering life was extremely difficult, until he and Kumano accidentally found a set of cultivation methods in a cave, they finally saw hope.
He and Kumano practiced and fought all the way, becoming stronger and stronger, and finally they became beast kings together.
They were in their fifties at the time.
Afterwards, after being crowned by the high priest of the Beast Temple, they owned a very large forest, where their people could live and multiply happily, and other tribes living in the forest had to pay tribute to them.
That kind of life was something he never dared to imagine when he was young.
Before his death, he had been the Beast King for fifty years, but he was not happy. Ultimately, it was all because of Kumano.
He almost starved to death when he was a child. It was Kumano who saved him and it was also Kumano who asked the tribe to take in him, his mother and his brother who were wandering around.
After that, Kumano helped him a lot, and he and Kumano became partners under the witness of the Beast God.
They are forever tied together.
Therefore, even though he became the Beast King, he could not be like other Beast Kings, with many beauties around him, and he could not even have his own children.
It was not until Kumano passed away that he finally lived the life he wanted, but he was already old by then and could no longer do so...
In this life...
Shi Li took a deep breath.
He didn't want to be bound to Kumano anymore.
The people in this tribe know nothing about the outside world, but they know how vast the sky is out there, and they also know how to become stronger.
He will become the strongest!
In addition, he wanted to try everything he had not tried before, and he wanted to have a few children of his own.
Shi Li thought a lot and his stomach started to growl.
It’s been a long time since I felt hungry... Shi Li changed into a beast and ran towards his home.
Although everything in front of him was very unfamiliar to him, he remembered his own smell and was able to find his residence.
Shi Li quickly arrived at his cave. He let out a low lion roar, and after Yang Ying opened the door, he immediately squeezed in.
Yang Ying was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you turn into a lion? Xiao Su will be scared."
Shi Li turned his back to Yang Ying, transformed into human form, and quickly put on his clothes.
Yang Ying added: "Xiong Ye came just now. He was so stingy. He only gave me half of such a small Lesothosaurus. There were three of us and he was alone."
Shi Li frowned. In fact, he has almost forgotten his mother.
In his previous life, his mother died when their tribe was attacked by other tribes. He had missed her very much since then, but now he felt a little embarrassed to see that the other party was so obsessed with a tiny Lesothosaurus.
He hasn't eaten anything like this for many years!
"Brother, I saw Xiongye giving Zhou meat! Is he going to do something to let you down?" At this time, Shi Li's younger brother Yang Su also said.
Yang Su is thirteen years old this year and has already awakened.
What kind of animal a person will awaken into depends on his own physical condition, the animals his parents awakened to, the animals awakened by the people around him, and what he ate before awakening.
The strong men that Shi Li met later would find ways to feed their children dinosaur meat containing powerful energy when they were young, so as to ensure that they could awaken into powerful animals.
He was able to awaken into a lion because when he, his mother and his younger brother did not leave their original tribe, their family actually lived a good life and had enough to eat.
But his younger brother was different. In the years before his awakening, he often went hungry and could only eat dinosaur meat a few times a year. As a result, he finally awakened and became a sheep like their mother, very weak.
In his previous life, Yangsu survived the catastrophe of the tribe and lived with him ever since. Although he would cause him some trouble from time to time, the relationship between the two brothers has always been good.
During those years, Yangsu liked to speak ill of Kumano.
Shi Li knew his bad habit and didn't believe him. He just recalled who "Zhou" was. After figuring it out, he said, "Yang Su, don't talk nonsense! Xiong Ye has nothing to do with Zhou, don't worry about it!"
Shi Li still had an impression of Zhou.
He was a loser in the tribe. However, such a loser not only had a mother who raised him to adulthood, but also had a very powerful father.
He remembered that in a few months, Zhou's father would come to find Zhou, and Zhou would follow his father to leave the tribe.
At that time, he was indescribably envious of Zhou because Zhou's father was the Beast King, a Beast King who owned a territory.
Of course, he is no longer envious now.
A few years after Zhou followed his father away, his father, the powerful Beast King, passed away, and there was no news of Zhou since then... It is estimated that he died after losing his father's protection.
Shi Li doesn't take Zhou, or even Zhou's father, seriously, but he also knows that he is still very weak and cannot be Zhou's enemy.
"You only know how to help Kumano!" Yang Su said dissatisfiedly.
Yang Ying also said: "You have become successful, you despise us for being incompetent, and you don't want to care about us anymore, right?"
Shi Li was a little annoyed: "Don't worry, I won't ignore you."
Hearing Shi Li say this, Yang Ying felt relieved: "Li, we can only rely on you... You can't abandon us."
Shi Li nodded. Of course he would not abandon his mother and brother.
In this life, he will never let his mother die early... It's not easy for her either, he will definitely let her live a good life!
When Shi Li was thinking about this, he had already seen half a Lesothosaurus cooked by Yang Ying.
Yang Ying’s cooking skills were very poor and the food looked unappetizing, but he was very hungry at the moment.
Shi Li ate half of the Lesothosaurus in just a few bites, and then said, "I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me." He wanted to start practicing early!
Yang Ying and Yang Su nodded.
