Chapter 53 Joining the Salt Exchange Team



Zhou Ji was very calm, pointing at the earthen eggs and said, "You guys are talking so much, can't you dig them up and take a look when you have time?"

"I told you, I saw it this morning, and the earth eggs were still very small." said the leader of the collection team, as he dug up a piece of mud with a long-handled stone shovel.

She dug an earthen egg the size of an adult's fist and cut it in half.

The leader of the collection team, who had a cold face just now, immediately became excited: "What a big earth egg! So big!"

People in the tribe like to eat native eggs very much. This plant tastes good and makes people feel full, so some people like it even more than meat.

For children, native eggs are a necessity. Children cannot eat too much dinosaur meat before they are one year old. Generally, their mothers feed them with native eggs in addition to breastfeeding.

Children will start to chew dinosaur meat when they are over one year old and have more teeth, but they still prefer to eat earth eggs.

Of the local eggs harvested each year in the tribe, one third is usually left for the children in the tribe, one third is exchanged for salt, and the remaining one third is tasted by the adults.

Local eggs grow twice a year, and it usually takes about sixty days before the first batch of local eggs can be harvested. The local eggs they harvest are usually the size of a child's fist.

And now, this earth egg is bigger than the biggest earth egg they have ever harvested.

The captain of the collection team was so happy that he was going crazy.

The other people in the tribe were also very excited. Some people who were very devout to the Beast God even knelt down and said, "Thank you, great Beast God!"

Even the priest was shocked at this moment. He grabbed a soil egg and pulled it hard...

The earth egg plant was torn off, but you could see several earth eggs of varying sizes growing underneath. The largest one was even bigger than the one that the captain of the collection team had just dug out.

The priest's hands began to tremble, and he knelt down: "Thank you, great Beast God!"

As soon as the priest knelt, everyone in the tribe, except Zhou Ji, knelt down. The priest looked at Zhou Ji and said, "Kneel down quickly."

Zhou Ji: “…”

Zhou Ji said: "The Beast God also told me something else."

Zhou Ji has always been helping the tribe to grow plants around them.

He lives in this tribe, and although he won't take the initiative to take on trouble, he will help within his ability. However, before, he was afraid that people in the tribe would find out that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to go too far.

But not long ago, he had already presented a gift from the Beast God in front of the priest, so it didn’t seem to matter if he presented something else now.

Of course, there is a reason why he did this today.

The priest now believed Zhou Ji's words without a doubt, and felt that Zhou Ji was indeed loved by the Beast God: "What else did the Beast God say?"

"The Beast God asked me to go out with the salt-exchanging team to find some edible plants." Zhou Ji said.

Because of the commotion he had caused, most of the dinosaurs near the tribe ran away.

The tribe has recently picked up a lot of meat. Not only has no one noticed this, but there is no shortage of food for the time being. However, Zhou Ji knows that this matter will cause trouble sooner or later.

But he didn't care too much.

He has plant powers, and it is not difficult for him to double the production of native eggs around the tribe, and then harvest them early, which can be attributed to fertilization and weeding.

In the future...he could also ask the priest to lead the gathering team to cultivate the land and cultivate the crops well.

On Earth, although humans initially lived by hunting, they later grew stronger entirely through farming and grazing.

After all, hunting involves too much uncertainty. Although farming or breeding also depends on the weather, they are much better than hunting.

And he doesn't mind developing farming so that people in the tribe can have enough food to eat.

But Kumano suddenly wanted to change the salt.

So many people died in the salt changing team last time, what about this time? Will something happen to Kumano?

Although he cannot use force, to be honest, his mental strength is there, and with him around, the salt-exchanging team will always be safer.

Since Kumano must go, then he will go with him.

Zhou Ji added: "The Beast God showed me several kinds of plants. He said that as long as I follow the salt exchange team, I can find those plants, so that the people in the tribe will not have to go hungry."

Zhou Ji had a blank expression on his face when he spoke, but precisely because of this, he seemed somewhat mysterious.

Everyone present believed it almost immediately, even the priest.

If Zhou Ji said these words directly to the priest, the priest would think that he made them up in order to follow the salt-exchanging team, but now... there are so many earth eggs growing in the fields!

This is definitely the will of the Beast God!

As for why the Beast God chose Zhou Ji to convey his will...how unique is Zhou Ji? In their tribe, Zhou Ji is the only one who does not have a beast form.

"Thank the Beast God!" the priest said again, kowtowing and kneeling.

The members of the collection team followed suit.

Zhou Ji: “…” So, can he go and change the salt?

Of course Zhou Ji could go and exchange for salt.

After the priest knelt down, he immediately asked the members of the collection team to dig for earth eggs, and said to Zhou Ji: "Thank you for your hard work. You actually have to go out with the salt exchange team..."

How can life outside be as good as life in the tribe? Not only would it be very dangerous for Zhou Ji to go out with the salt-exchanging team, he would definitely not have a good life.

"This is the will of the Beast God." Zhou Ji said.

"Yes, this is the will of the Beast God!" said the priest, his face full of excitement: "With the blessing of the Beast God, you will be fine!" He was worried that something might happen to the salt-changing team before, but now that the Beast God has spoken to Zhou Ji in his dream, the salt-changing team must be safe, right?

The priest was full of confidence in the next salt exchange, and the leader of the collection team also found Zhou Ji: "Zhou Ji, I wrongly blamed you before, I'm sorry."

Zhou Ji is a person loved by the Beast God. The captain of the gathering team is now quite frightened and begins to recall whether he has offended Zhou Ji.

There really is...

"It's okay." Zhou Ji said. He could understand this man's behavior, but he didn't care.

He doesn't care about most things in this world.

"Zhou Ji, you are such a good person." said the captain of the collection team.

"Zhou Ji is indeed a good man. He received gifts from the Beast God, and he contributed all of it selflessly." said the priest, and sang a song for Zhou Ji on the spot, praising Zhou Ji as a selfless person.

Zhou Ji: “…” This song had been used by priests in the Beast God Festival to praise the ancestors of the Big Bear Tribe.

The members of the collection team looked at Zhou Ji with even more admiration.

Before, they thought that fertilizing and weeding were meaningless, but now... since this is the will of the Beast God, they must do it.

As for why the plants didn’t grow well after applying fertilizer, it must be because they didn’t do their job well!

Everyone in the collection team began to reflect on themselves and talk about it.

"Zhou Ji suddenly fell ill before the Companion Ceremony. Perhaps it was a test from the Beast God."

"He fainted from exhaustion a few days ago and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we tried. Maybe he went to see the Beast God."

"Have you noticed? Ever since Zhou Ji stopped being stupid and left the tribe, we have gained a lot!"

"He is definitely someone that is loved by the Beast God."

Things went much more smoothly than Zhou Ji had imagined.

The priest led the gathering team and harvested a lot of earth eggs. When they took the eggs back, he not only told Zhou Ji about the gift from the Beast God, but also told him that Zhou Ji was going to join the salt exchange team.

"No, Grand Priest, how can Zhou Ji go?" Kumano objected without thinking.

"He must go. This is the will of the Beast God! I tell you, when you go this time, you must protect Zhou Ji." The priest was very excited.

Everyone in the hunting team was a little confused.

The priest added: "The Beast God has made all the earth eggs in the tribe mature. He also said that Zhou Ji can find more edible plants!"

The priest spared no effort to help Zhou Ji speak, and sang a few more songs by the way, the lyrics of which were straightforward and corny.

But the people in the tribe really like this.

Zhou Ji didn't say a word, but it was already decided that he would go with the salt exchange team.

Not only that, because of the priest's flattery, he also gained more attention.

Zhou Ji didn't like all of this, but he wasn't unable to accept it. At the same time, he also knew that he shouldn't do this kind of thing too often.

As I said, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, and the Big Bear Tribe cannot be too special.

The earth eggs were extremely precious and popular to the people in the tribe, and they almost immediately fell into a carnival.

But Kumano couldn't be happy.

Zhou Ji had known for a long time that he had received a gift from the Beast God, and he had a feeling about it - Zhou Ji could always get a lot of delicious plants.

However, even with the gift from the Beast God, Zhou Ji was still very weak. It would be easy for him to run into danger if he followed the salt-exchanging team!

"Zhou Ji, do you have to go?" Xiong Ye couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Ji said: "This is what the Beast God meant."

Kumano's expression was extremely conflicted.

Zhou Ji was very satisfied with this. He was very conflicted yesterday, and today it was Kumano's turn.

Zhou Ji went to bed early that night.

Kumano lay beside him, tossing and turning, and finally stopped moving, but he didn't fall asleep either.

Kumano used to sleep well, what happened? Zhou Ji was wondering when he felt Xiong Ye quietly get up, crawl to the bottom of the cave, and start walking back and forth. He also changed into a beast form and practiced his claws on a piece of wood.

There is no doubt that Kumano was cramming for the exam and training his fighting ability.

However, it would be useless for him to keep asking for help, and he might even aggravate his wound.

Zhou Ji took out the clothes he had worn in front of Xiang Tian before, jumped down from the cave while Xiong Ye was not paying attention, and then directly carried the big brown bear away and brought it out of the tribe.

At the same time, Xiangtian had already brought Shili back to the Xiangxing tribe.

Along the way, Xiang Tian had been torturing Shi Li and although he didn't get anything out of him, he was sure of one thing: Shi Li did know a way to absorb energy.

Xiang Tian wanted to obtain this method, so he spared Shi Li's life, but he was not friendly to Shi Li. For example, at this moment, Shi Li was thrown into a dirty cell in the Xiangxing Tribe.

Shi Li sat in the cell with a lot of feces left, and couldn't help vomiting.

Although he had suffered a lot when he was wandering outside in his previous life, he had never suffered such an insult or lived in such an environment.

Xiangtian is going too far!

Shi Li hated Xiang Tian so much that he even hated Zhou Ji - if it weren't for Zhou Ji, how could he have been captured by Xiang Tian?

After expressing his hatred, Shi Li snorted coldly again.

Zhou Ji won’t live long!

The Giant Tiger Tribe, which conquered the Qingshan Tribe, was a war-loving tribe. Their favorite thing to do was to invade other tribes and treat the people of other tribes as slaves.

The catastrophe that befell the Big Bear Tribe in the previous life was caused by the Giant Tiger Tribe.

After conquering the Qingshan tribe, the Giant Tiger tribe learned of the existence of the Big Bear tribe and killed some members of the Big Bear tribe's salt-exchanging team.

Then, the salt exchange team got less salt, which was not enough, and Xiong Qi and Niu Er died...

After a while, probably around this time, the priest and Xionghe realized that there was not enough salt in the tribe, so they asked Kumano to take people out to exchange salt and find a new place to exchange salt.

That time, Kumano failed to exchange for salt - the Xiaoxi tribe was also defeated by the Giant Tiger tribe, and the salt-exchanging team could not find other tribes, so they had to return empty-handed.

They did not exchange for salt, but the Giant Tiger Tribe began to take action. They first drove some powerful dinosaurs to the Big Bear Tribe, and after many people of the Big Bear Tribe died, they attacked the Big Bear Tribe again that winter.

The Big Bear Tribe will encounter a lot of troubles in the future. Zhou Ji is so weak that he will die sooner or later!
