Zhou Ji changed into new clothes today.
The clothes were made of plant fibers that he peeled from vines. The plant fibers were white at first, but after a period of time, they turned yellowish brown and looked very much like the sack that Xiangtian wore that day.
But overall, this kind of clothes is more like the clothes in Zhou Ji's impression than the dinosaur skin clothes. After he used energy to soften the plant fibers, it was quite comfortable to wear.
However, although he had clothes, he had no underwear.
Riding a bear...
Zhou Ji was a little hesitant.
"Zhou Ji, just let Xiong Ye take you away!" said the priest, and then instructed the people in the tribe: "Zhou Ji has important things to do when he goes out this time. You must protect him well. Even if you can't exchange him for salt, you must bring Zhou Ji back safely!"
Although salt is important, they will not die without it. If this year's local eggs can produce a good harvest, we can change the salt next year.
This is Zhou Ji... Zhou Ji went out this time because of the intention of the Beast God. If something happened to Zhou Ji, the Beast God would definitely be very angry!
Thinking this, the priest secretly touched Zhou Ji's clothes.
These days he saw Zhou Ji weaving something, but he didn't know what he was doing. It turned out that he was making clothes...
This dress looks really good. When Zhou Ji comes back, he will also learn to make one for himself.
Xiong Qi agreed to the priest's request without thinking. As for Xiong Ye... he turned into a brown bear and looked at Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji finally sat on the bear's back.
The salt exchange team set off.
The brown bear can stand up, but most of the time it crawls on all fours. Zhou Ji feels quite stable sitting on the bear's back.
It’s just that Xiong Qiliu, who didn’t transform into a beast form, is a little annoying.
"Kumano, your beast form is already as big as the clan leader, so impressive!"
"Kumano, your injury healed so quickly. You are in great health."
"Kumano, you walk so steadily!"
…
Zhou Ji: “…”
Kumano: I was suddenly glad that I had turned into a beast. I didn’t need to answer.
People around: Xiong Qi hasn’t been chasing Lang Yin recently, but has been chasing Xiong Ye all day long. Could it be that he has changed his mind and fallen in love with Xiong Ye?
Xiong Qike didn't know what others were thinking. He was rescued by Kumano after he was injured while changing salt last time. Later, he went hunting with Kumano, and when he encountered the centipede, it was Kumano who saved him.
Kumano saved him twice, so he became more and more grateful to Kumano.
And when he is grateful, he wants to say something nice.
Moreover, it would not be a loss to have a good relationship with Kumano - Kumano was the future patriarch, and Kumano's men might even become priests...
Xiong Qi was determined to follow Xiong Ye's lead.
So, Xiong Qi, who used to have a bad temper and said whatever he wanted, began his journey of flattering others.
"Xiong Ye, Zhou Ji's clothes are so beautiful, you are so awesome!" Xiong Qi said again.
Xiong Ye: “…” Zhou Ji’s clothes really have nothing to do with him! But Zhou Ji promised to make one for him as well... Zhou Ji was so good to him!
He must walk carefully so as not to bump into Zhou Ji.
In Shi Li's memory, this time the salt exchange was led by Kumano, and in the end they returned empty-handed and also lost some people. But this time was different.
Xiong Qi is still alive, and now he is still the captain of the salt team. Xiong Ye follows him mainly to learn.
Although Xiong Qi sometimes speaks incoherently, he is still very reliable in doing things. He talked about many experiences of traveling long distances along the way.
"Life outside is not as good as it is in the tribe. The most troublesome thing is the rain. The road is very difficult to walk on when it rains." Xiong Qi said naggingly, "We need to find a camp to settle down before dark. At least one side of the camp must be against the mountain or rocks, but not against the water. There are many monsters in the water, and there are many dinosaurs by the water."
The first destination of the salt exchange team this time is the Xiaoxi tribe where Xiong Qi exchanged salt last time. They also plan to ask the Xiaoxi tribe for news about the Giant Tiger tribe.
"The Xiaoxi tribe may not have much salt left. If that's the case, we have to go around Qingshan... no, the Giant Tiger Tribe, and then go east to see if there's any chance." Xiong Qi said.
It was Kumano's first time coming out, and he listened very carefully but did not express his own opinion.
In a team, only one leader is needed.
The weather was good on the first day of their departure, and Xiong Qi took them to find a cave where he would stay overnight every time he went out to exchange salt.
This cave is not a stone cave but a mud cave. It is relatively damp, but it can be used for sleeping by covering it with animal skins. Zhou Ji was arranged to sleep in the innermost part, while Kumano and others lit a fire outside and kept watch in groups.
Zhou Ji naturally had no objection. He crossed several pieces of wood on the ground and covered them with a layer of animal skin. Then, he used energy to block out the smell and had a full meal in this small space - he didn't have a chance to eat during the day.
The next day, the salt exchange team continued their journey.
Zhou Ji had visited almost all the areas around the tribe and knew exactly what plants there were. Although he had been studying the plants around him along the way, trying to find a few that could be planted and take them back to plant, he found nothing. However, starting from the third day, he was able to find some useful plants.
These are mostly vegetables or fruits.
For people in primitive tribes who consume a lot of physical energy, they need more high-carbohydrate and high-protein foods. Therefore, what Zhou Ji most hopes to find is something that can be used as a staple food.
However, it is not easy to find.
On the way, he saw some plants that looked like wheat, but after careful examination he found that they were full of tiny grass seeds and were not suitable for eating at all.
"Stop." Zhou Ji called for a stop again.
"What have you discovered?" Xiong Qi looked at Zhou Ji curiously, very happy.
"There is a kind of edible plant over there." Zhou Ji pointed to a clump of plants not far away. If he was not mistaken, it should be a pumpkin.
Pumpkin is not suitable as a staple food for manual laborers, as they will feel hungry after a while after eating it, but it tastes good and should be very appealing.
"Let's pick it right away!" Xiong Qi was very excited. Xiong Ye, who had turned into a beast and couldn't speak, snorted at the two of them in dissatisfaction, then carried Zhou Ji on his back and ran over there first.
It had been four days since they set out. Zhou Ji did nothing in the first two days, which made Xiong Qi and the others feel a little resentful. Then, in the past two days, Zhou Ji found a lot of edible things, some of which were very delicious! For example, the melon I found not long ago was very sweet.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ji only gave them half. He ate a little of the remaining half himself and then fed it all to Xiong Ye!
Xiong Qi ran forward behind Xiong Ye. He had always felt that Xiong Ye was at a disadvantage by looking for Zhou Ji, but now he felt that... Zhou Ji was quite good.
It’s not just that he eats little, but he’s also thoughtful and caring about Kumano in every way!
As for him being weak... he is willing to follow instructions and not make trouble, so he won't cause any trouble for them.
I wonder what I can pick this time...Xiong Qi is a little greedy.
The pumpkins Zhou Ji saw this time were not ripe yet, but he ripened them before he got close to them, and he made one of them particularly ripe, so he got the seeds.
That day, they set up camp early as usual, and then divided half of the people to go out hunting.
The salt-exchanging team brought a lot of local eggs and some smoked meat, but no one ate them. When they were hungry along the way, they went hunting for food.
Although these things are edible, they would rather use them to exchange for more salt.
Even if they couldn't finish the prey they caught on the road, they would save it and exchange it for salt.
They didn't catch much prey that day, but it was enough for everyone to eat, so they lit a fire and started roasting. While eating the meat, they listened to Xiong Qi talking about the Qingshan tribe: "The people of the Qingshan tribe are quite weak and often can't catch enough prey. They are very willing for us to exchange prey for salt..."
Zhou Ji was roasting pumpkin alone.
There were seven pumpkins in total. After they were roasted, he gave four to Xiong Qi and asked Xiong Qi to divide them. He ate one himself and gave two to Xiong Ye.
The ownership of these plants belongs to him and there is no need to divide them equally.
"What's this?"
"Pumpkin." Zhou Ji said, "Try it and see if you like it."
Xiong Ye opened his mouth and took a bite, then his eyes lit up: "It's sweet!"
Kumano doesn't like sour things, but likes sweet things very much. This pumpkin is actually not very sweet, but he likes it so much that he ate both pumpkins in one go.
There were fifty people in the salt-changing team, and the remaining forty or so people had red eyes - each of them could only taste a small bite!
"This pumpkin is so delicious!" Xiong Qi exclaimed after eating his own bite.
"From now on, the tribe will have this kind of pumpkin to eat." Zhou Ji said, "Its yield is very high, you can eat as much as you want."
The hunting team's eyes lit up and they collectively swallowed.
They didn’t like to eat grass before, of course this does not include earth eggs - earth eggs are not grass!
But now, after following Zhou Ji for a long time, they suddenly discovered that many grasses were quite delicious...
This kind of melon or that kind of melon tastes better.
Even if I can’t exchange salt for it this time, it’s still nice to have so many plants!
Everyone was having a great time eating the roasted pumpkin, but it started raining in the evening.
The things they brought that couldn't get wet in the rain were wrapped in dinosaur skins, so it was fine. However, since they didn't live in a cave, all of them were soaking wet, except for Zhou Ji...
Kumano let him stay on the tree and gave him a very large piece of dinosaur skin to put on his head to prevent him from getting wet.
They didn’t sleep well that night, and the next day they walked in the rain for another whole day. By this time even Zhou Ji was soaked.
The rain continued to fall until evening. Although they had caught a dinosaur, they could not make a fire to torture it.
Just when everyone was frowning, Zhou Ji pointed in a direction and said, "We should go over there." He had been using his mental power to find a place to live, and found a large rock over there. Under the rock, there was a hole dug by a lizard.
They could grab that hole and take a break.
In fact, not only did they rob the holes, the lizards also became their food.
"Zhou Ji, you are indeed a person favored by the Beast God, you are so amazing!"
"We can finally get some good sleep."
"This cave is so spacious..."
…
Everyone in the salt changing team was very satisfied, except Zhou Ji, who felt helpless.
He was quite dissatisfied with the life in the tribe, and his life became even worse after he came out.
Fortunately, it is better than the end of the world, and we have food and drink.
With a cave, everyone's quality of life improved dramatically. After drying himself, Kumano turned into a beast and slept with Zhou Ji in his arms.
What made us even happier was that the rain stopped the next day.
They travel very fast, and even spend most of the time running, just like the migrating herds of cattle and sheep on Earth.
On the eighth day, they arrived at the Creek Tribe.
"The Xiaoxi tribe is in front of us." Xiong Qi pointed to a low house built next to a mountain and said, "There are more than 200 people in the Xiaoxi tribe. There are all kinds of beasts in the tribe, and most of them are not strong."
"Let's go and take a look." Zhou Ji got off Kumano and gave him a set of clothes.
Along the way, he also knitted a sweater for Kumano... no, a sack.
When Zhou Ji was approaching the Xiaoxi Tribe, he had already used his mental power to investigate the situation inside the Xiaoxi Tribe and found nothing unusual. But when he really arrived at the Xiaoxi Tribe and met the people of the Xiaoxi Tribe, he vaguely felt that something was wrong - the expressions of these people after seeing them clearly told him that there was something wrong with these people.
The people from Xiaoxi tribe were very happy to see Zhou Ji and others.
No, we can’t say the people from the Xiaoxi tribe - the Xiaoxi tribe has been occupied by the Giant Tiger tribe, and the people living in this tribe now are actually all from the Giant Tiger tribe.
Now a group of fat sheep have arrived...how can they not be happy?
