Chapter 50 Eating Meat



The people in the tribe don’t think as much as Zhou Ji does. They are very happy now.

Even though some people were scared to the point of peeing their pants when they saw the giant beast yesterday, everyone immediately became happy when they saw so much meat.

They had never seen so much meat in their lives, and more importantly... there was a lot of meat all over the mountains and plains!

The warriors in the tribe had already moved the meat once, and after putting it down, they went to move it again without stopping. As for the old and weak in the tribe, they began to process the meat.

Many of the bodies that were brought back were incomplete. They would simply cut them up, store the whole pieces of meat, and throw the minced meat into the pot to cook.

There were not enough big stone pots in the tribe, so everyone moved out the small pots in their caves. Someone went out to pick some big leaves, wrapped the meat in them, and roasted it over the fire.

There is a...unpleasant smell in the tribe.

In short, Zhou Ji didn’t think it smelled good.

Of course, Kumano didn’t think so. After all the trouble, Kumano was already hungry. Originally, Zhou Ji would prepare food for him at this time, but now Zhou Ji’s face was pale and he obviously couldn’t do anything.

Xiong Ye dragged his injured leg to the cave entrance and shouted down: "Xiongmao!"

Maybe it was because Kumano hugged him during the Beast God Festival, Xiongmao has been staying close to Kumano these days, and Kumano has become familiar with Xiongmao.

"Brother." Xiongmao came over happily.

"Xiongmao, please do me a favor and help me grill the meat." said Xiong Ye.

Xiong Bai threw down the piece of raw meat and left. Not only was it bloody and ugly, it was also inedible...

"Okay!" Xiongmao responded happily.

The piece of meat weighed about 30 kilograms, and Xiongmao himself weighed only 50 to 60 kilograms. Before he awakened, even if he could lift it, he would not be able to carry such a piece of meat to the bottom of the cave to roast it. But now he took the meat away easily.

Xiong Ye asked again: "Is there any edible grass in the tribe? Give me some too."

"Yes, yes!" Xiongmao nodded repeatedly and walked away quickly.

Xiong Ye then looked at Zhou Ji: "Zhou Ji, the piece of meat has been taken away, don't be afraid."

"Thank you." Zhou Ji laughed.

"Did you come to see me yesterday? Were you scared?" Kumano asked again.

Zhou Ji nodded: "That giant beast..."

"He is very scary, but don't be afraid, I am here!" Kumano patted his chest to comfort his partner, but accidentally patted the wound on his chest and immediately cried out "Ouch".

Zhou Ji: “…”

Xiong Ye felt that the man from yesterday was very powerful and wanted to talk to him, but seeing Zhou Ji’s behavior... he thought he should not tell Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji asked, "Did the people in the tribe bring back a lot of meat? How do we preserve so much meat?"

Kumano was stunned and a little worried.

In fact, the priest was already beginning to worry.

Raw meat is very easy to rot and cannot be kept for more than a few days. In the past, tribes usually roasted meat for short-term storage. Roasted meat can be kept for several days. If you don’t mind, you can cut off the outer circle every time you eat it and roast the inside again. This way it can be kept longer.

But if you want to preserve it for a long time, you have to pickle it.

In the past, at this time, their salt-exchanging team had already exchanged a lot of salt. When they suddenly got so much meat, everyone would eat it to their heart's content for a few days and then pickle some of it, so it wouldn't be wasted. But now, they don't have enough salt!

If there is not enough salt to marinate the meat, the meat will not last long and will go bad!

The priests were worried to death.

It would be such a shame to waste so much meat.

Just as he was thinking this, the hunting team brought back a batch of meat. Xiong He said, "There are no wild animals on the other side of the mountain now, only meat everywhere. Anyone in the tribe who can walk, follow me to get the meat!"

After they saw the giant beast, they couldn't leave their tribe behind and ran away, but all the animals had already run away...

The scary dinosaurs and snakes that we used to encounter frequently, we didn’t encounter any this time!

Xiong He thought that it would be good to let the people in the tribe see the world.

The priest agreed, and the people of the tribe went out in full force to carry the meat.

Xiongmao hurriedly gave the barbecue to Xiongye and followed him. Of course, he did not forget to give Xiongye some dishes.

"Zhou Ji, it's time to eat." Xiong Ye greeted Zhou Ji.

All the children in the tribe went to carry the meat, but no one asked Zhou Ji to go with them.

Everyone knows what happened yesterday - Zhou Ji went to look for Xiong Ye, but after he got there he fainted from exhaustion and had to be carried back... Isn't it asking for trouble to ask him to move the meat?

After greeting Zhou Ji, Kumano took a big bite of meat.

Zhou Ji looked at the "dishes" that Xiong Mao brought over, feeling somewhat helpless.

The wild vegetables that people in this tribe often eat don’t taste good at all. He usually doesn’t eat them, which is fine... Not only are these vegetables not fresh, they are also very dirty.

"Ximono, I have no appetite. I'm going to lie down for a while." Zhou Ji said. He was also hungry. He was so hungry that he needed to eat something.

But what he killed yesterday were mostly centipedes and the like, and he didn't want to eat a single bite of that kind of meat.

Therefore, I'd better use the supernatural power that I just recovered to grow some plants to eat.

"You go and have a rest." Kumano said quickly and took another bite of meat.

Zhou Ji entered their "bedroom", lowered the animal skin curtain, and began to grow plants for food.

Then I realized, somewhat helplessly, that I could never feel full no matter how much I ate.

Later, he simply stopped eating and started practicing, and by the way, he also began to think about improving Kumano's strength.

He has already developed a method that allows orcs to absorb energy in their bodies on their own, but it is still not perfect and needs to be modified.

If Kumano were allowed to practice this kind of martial arts on his own, he would definitely be able to improve his strength much faster.

But how to teach this skill to Kumano is a problem.

He could make up a method that was a gift from the Beast God, as he had told the priest, but given the method out like this, given Kumano's personality, everyone in the tribe would probably practice it.

In this case, destroying the ecological balance is the least of the problems. If someone discovers the abnormality of this tribe...

A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure.

Looking at Xiangtian's expression, we know that most of the strong people outside don't know about this kind of cultivation method. In this case, if there is a Kumano in the tribe who becomes stronger, it can be said that he has eaten some rare treasures. How can we find an excuse for the whole tribe to become stronger?

If they really did that, perhaps everyone would be killed before they could achieve any results in their cultivation.

After all, he had studied it. If it weren't for his help, it would take at least one or two years to practice with that technique to reach Kumano's current level. For someone who was born weaker, it might even take five or six years. As for reaching his current level...

If he hadn't helped Kumano, Kumano would have been lucky to achieve it when he was in his fifties or sixties.

As for others... I guess they will never be able to achieve it in this lifetime.

If Kumano wants to increase his strength quickly, he not only needs to practice, but also needs his help.

If it takes another fifty or sixty years for Kumano to become as strong as himself, then his chances of success will be lost - who knows what will happen in those years?

He had to intervene, but how to intervene was another problem.

He is very powerful and can bluff people, but in fact he is just a paper tiger that will break with a single poke, and there is a bomb inside that can hurt both himself and others.

If this situation were discovered, it would be too easy to deal with him. If he revealed his identity to Kumano and taught Kumano, it would be too easy for others to find out - Kumano was not a person who could hide his thoughts.

In the end times, if the zombies had brains, they could easily kill him after driving him crazy while he was exhausted.

Zombies have no brains, but the people in this place, no matter how simple they are, have brains, and their weaknesses cannot be known to others.

And he didn't want to face the series of troubles that would arise after his identity was revealed.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Kumano.

Kumano really likes him now, sincerely, but this feeling is because they have become partners, and on the other hand, he is very weak, which arouses Kumano's desire to protect him. If the situation were different, who knows what Kumano would become?

Look at him with adoration every day? Looking at him with fear?

Zhou Ji rubbed his nose, and then saw Xiong Ye dragging his injured leg over: "Zhou Ji, Xiong Mao brought back some fruits, this one should be delicious."

Xiongye gave Zhou Ji some fruits that Zhou Ji often ate, the kind that had a high yield but was very sour.

The fruit had obviously been washed.

Zhou Ji didn’t think the fruit would taste good at all, but he still took it and ate it in one bite.

It’s really sour…

The people in the tribe were busy that day and did not stop until midnight.

The valley was filled with corpses and blood.

Zhou Ji was somewhat relieved. He had adjusted his condition and recovered a lot of mental strength. Now that pile of things would not affect him.

In fact, as long as he doesn't do anything, nothing will happen.

But once they started killing, it was like a stress response, and they immediately started killing.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. After the world war ended on Earth, there was a soldier who had experienced combat. While watching a play in a theater, he suddenly thought he was on a battlefield and started killing people around him. He even killed his wife and children...

It was already dark, so the people in the tribe didn't move the meat, but started eating.

Primitive people who lived in an environment with insufficient food all year round would not waste food. No matter it was minced meat, smelly offal, or meat with a strong fishy smell, they would accept it and eat everything.

Zhou Ji used his mental power to look at the situation below and felt like he was watching a big eater competition.

These big eaters are more powerful than each other. Even a skinny person can eat 20 to 30 kilograms of meat until his belly is bulging.

As for Kumano... Zhou Ji had watched him eat 40 kilograms of meat. His belly was now swollen and his original good figure was gone.

Zhou Ji touched Xiong Ye's belly and found it felt particularly good.

Xiong Ye also found it very interesting: "Zhou Ji, look at my belly, does it look like I'm pregnant?"

Zhou Ji: “…”
