Ma Xiao listened to these people cursing, and although he maintained his expression, his face was stiff.
Their Giant Tiger Tribe was so powerful, yet they were scolded like this by these people...
He must kill all these people!
However, although he thought so in his heart, he had to agree with what these people said.
Kumano was lying on the haystack, watching the scene and finding it a little funny.
He did not interrupt, and neither did anyone else in the tribe. In fact, in order to avoid being exposed, some people present did not know that Ma Xiao was from the Giant Tiger Tribe - the priest had only told them not to let others know that the Big Bear Tribe was rich.
These people also don't want people to know that the Big Bear Tribe is rich.
They will soon face the cold winter. For many tribes, winter is very difficult. If those people knew that the Big Bear Tribe was so rich, they might come to join the Big Bear Tribe and take away their food!
They don't want their food to be divided!
All these people remained silent and listened to the priest and others cursing.
As he was cursing, it was time for dinner and Xiong He started to serve his dinner.
He specially asked someone to find those small earth eggs, and these were what he divided. In addition, there were also some plants.
"Our tribe goes hunting every other day. Today is not a hunting day, so..." Xiong He looked at Ma Xiao embarrassedly, then gave them some small earth eggs and a piece of stinky bacon.
The bacon is his.
There was a time when the tribe was short of salt. He put less salt in the bacon, so the bacon became rancid. He would have eaten it even if it had become rancid. But later Zhou Ji figured out a way to make smoked meat, and the tribe no longer lacked meat...
He dried the stinky bacon in the sun and put it in the firewood shed - the smell of the bacon was really unpleasant and he couldn't stand keeping it at home.
He forgot about it after that and only remembered it today.
Ma Xiao took the piece of stinky bacon and the corners of his mouth twitched. When had he ever eaten something like this before?
But now he was playing the role of an unlucky guy who came out to exchange salt but his goods were stolen... Ma Xiao could only grit his teeth and eat.
For a moment, he even wondered if the Big Bear Tribe had figured out something, but soon, he no longer doubted it.
Because he saw Zhou Ji brought a large piece of grass and gave it to Xiong Ye to eat.
That Xiong Ye was said to be the strongest warrior in the tribe, but he could only eat grass...
Some of these grasses he had never seen before, but some he had seen, and some he had even eaten... Anyway, they didn't taste good!
Looking at the way Xiong Ye ate the grass, you could tell that he definitely didn’t like it, but he still ate it, a whole basket of it…
The Big Bear tribe must be very poor.
Of course, generally speaking, the poorer the tribe, the more it likes to store food. Just look at the situation of the Big Bear Tribe... Could the food they store be all stinky bacon?
Ma Xiao felt a little sick.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Kumano looking at him and smiling at him.
Ma Xiao quickly smiled back, and then saw Kumano going to eat grass again.
These grasses do taste bad, but they contain energy that can make you stronger!
Xiong Ye was eating seriously, and suddenly he thought of something: "Zhou Ji, do you want to eat some too?" As he said that, he took a plant that tasted very good and put it to Zhou Ji's mouth.
"It's useless if I eat it." Zhou Ji said, and then took out some other grass to eat - these vegetables were much more delicious than what Kumano ate!
Xiong Ye didn’t know that there was a taste problem. When he saw Zhou Ji gave all the energy-containing grass to him to eat, he was a little touched - Zhou Ji was so good to him!
However, how did Zhou Ji know that these grasses have energy? Did the Beast God tell him?
Kumano was a little confused for a moment, then let it go.
He discovered that Zhou Ji particularly liked various plants and was good at distinguishing them. This was definitely a gift from the Beast God.
Thinking of this, Kumano finally finished eating his basket of grass, and then received admiring glances from the priest and Xionghe.
Priest and Xionghe: Xiongye is really trying too hard. In order to make the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe think that they are weak, they even eat grass! And eat it raw!
When Ma Xiao arrived at the Giant Tiger Tribe, it was already late. By the time everyone had finished their meal, it was dark.
Ma Xiao and the other two were arranged to live in the cave where Zhu Zhan and his men had lived before. As for Zhu Zhan and others... they were unable to return to the tribe today and were arranged to live in a place where pottery was fired.
The priest also gave them a task, asking them to be careful and not let the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe discover their secret.
When their tribe was very rich, the Giant Tiger Tribe might attack them out of jealousy, but they might also not dare to attack them out of fear.
But if they are weak... the Giant Tiger Tribe will definitely come, and they probably won’t take them seriously!
So late at night, Zhu Zhan had to take people to keep watch outside.
After eating, Xiongye and Zhou Ji returned to their house, and then Zhou Ji found a large piece of bacon, cooked it and gave it to Xiongye.
Kumano is taking care of his body, so he can’t eat less!
After a night, Kumano felt that his body had improved a lot and his energy was full.
Sleeping is really the best way to restore your energy!
It's just... although he had eaten enough last night, he was actually hungry again, and very, very hungry...
"It's time to eat." Zhou Ji said.
When Xiong Ye came outside, he saw Zhou Ji making fried food with wheat oil.
This time, when Zhou Ji made wheat pan-fried dumplings, in addition to adding chopped vegetables to the batter, he also added chopped bacon. The wheat pan-fried dumplings were a little bit broken, but tasted really good!
Kumano felt that this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten!
He ate the wheat-oil fried food Zhou Ji gave him in just a few bites, and then asked, "Is our meat not enough?"
He was busy building a house a few days ago, and also had to fight with Zhu Zhan and others. He didn't have enough time, so he didn't go hunting. He just used things like peppers that Zhou Ji had enough of, and exchanged them for some fish for Zhou Ji to eat.
As a result, they naturally couldn't store any food.
Now that they have moved... Kumano thinks it's time for them to prepare food for the winter!
The empty room can be used to store food!
"It's not that there's not enough, it's that there's no more." Zhou Ji said. They still had a lot of barley and eggs left, but the meat had been eaten up.
We moved house these few days, and then Kumano was injured and needed to eat more, so he finished all the food in a short time.
"I'm going out hunting today!" said Kumano.
Zhou Ji: “…” You’re already injured, why go hunting?
Zhou Ji didn't want Xiong Ye to go hunting, but Xiong Ye insisted: "The tribe has the priest and Xiong He, so there's no need for me. My injury isn't that serious..."
"I'll go with you." Zhou Ji said.
It's okay for Kumano to go out in this condition, and as for hunting... he can catch some small prey if he sees it.
But he could be in danger.
So, it’s best to follow along on your own.
"I'm injured and may not be able to protect you." Kumano was anxious.
"Then go and call a few people." Zhou Ji said.
Zhou Ji's eyes were firm, and he was obviously unwilling to change his mind. Xiong Ye could only say, "Okay..."
Xiong Ye originally wanted to call Zhu Zhan, but on the way there, Zhou Ji suddenly said, "Isn't it good for just the two of us? Do we have to call others?"
Secretly, Xiong Ye also wanted to be alone with Zhou Ji, but after hearing what Zhou Ji said, he immediately gave up calling for help and took Zhou Ji to the river near the tribe.
There are only him and Zhou Ji, and they definitely can't go fight the dinosaurs, so they might as well catch some fish and shrimp to eat!
People often come to the river near the tribe, and the smell is quite strong, so no dinosaurs come here to drink water, but there are still fish and shrimp in the river.
Fish and shrimp are not smart. Even if they catch a lot, there will always be some that will swim over from somewhere else.
Xiong Ye was about to go into the water to catch fish, but was stopped by Zhou Ji: "The effort you put into catching fish can't be recovered by eating the fish."
This is the truth... People in the tribe like to lie still in the winter instead of going out hunting. It is because hunting is tiring, but eating the caught prey may not necessarily replenish the energy they have expended in hunting. If this is the case, why hunt?
But for Kumano now, the few fish he catches with great effort are not even enough to fill his teeth, so why catch them?
Zhou Ji asked, "Shall we go forward?"
Xiong Ye nodded and walked forward with Zhou Ji.
As Zhou Ji walked, he used his mental power to pay attention to his surroundings, to see if there was any danger or if there was anything... edible.
During this scan, he actually found something edible.
At the bottom of the river in the distance, there was a giant salamander lurking.
The giant salamander is an amphibian that also exists on Earth. It has lived on Earth for so long that it is called a living fossil. Zhou Ji remembers it because one time, someone near his home went to eat a giant salamander and was caught...
At that time, he made a special effort to learn about giant salamanders, so now he could naturally recognize it.
Zhou Ji discovered the giant salamander, but Xiong Ye found nothing.
Kumano was ready to return empty-handed.
He and Zhou Ji walked very slowly, without hiding their bodies, so the smaller prey ran away early. If they appeared among their prey, they would definitely not be able to defeat them.
Of course, there was no such prey around the tribe.
Just when Xiong Ye was worried, Zhou Ji suddenly stopped and pointed to the river and said, "There seems to be something in this river."
"Are there any fish?" asked Kumano.
"No, there is a big guy at the bottom of the river...I saw it move." Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye hadn't seen anything before, but after hearing Zhou Ji's words and looking carefully, he discovered that there was a black thing he had never seen before hidden in the stones at the bottom of the clear river.
He didn't know what it was, but he could try to grab it...
"I'll go get a stick." Kumano said, and immediately walked to a nearby place, then broke off a long stick for himself and came to the river again.
The big guy still didn't move... Kumano's eyes lit up and he stabbed down with the wooden stick.
Kumano was very experienced in catching fish, and this time he hit the big fish right in the middle, piercing its back.
Then, the big guy started to struggle, but Kumano would not let the prey escape after getting it... He stuck a wooden stick into the bottom of the river and pressed it hard until the big guy could no longer struggle, and then he pulled it out from the bottom of the river.
This is a creature with a round head, a long tail, and a black body. It looks a bit like a lizard but is very smooth. Kumano has never seen it before: "I don't know what this is and whether it can be eaten."
"It should be edible." Zhou Jidao looked at Xiong Ye with a smile: "Xiong Ye, you are amazing."
Kumano loved being praised the most, and was smiling happily at the moment. He then quickly dealt with the prey in his hands, skinning it.
The prey was about two meters long and weighed about seventy or eighty kilograms of meat, enough for him and Zhou Ji to have a full meal!
Xiong Ye was in a good mood and didn't pay attention to the wound. Then Zhou Ji pasted a piece of herb on the wound and said, "Be careful when you move."
"I will!" Xiong Ye said, picking up the giant salamander: "Let's go back."
Zhou Ji nodded.
After the two returned to their residence, Zhou Ji kept half of the giant salamander and used the remaining half to make sauerkraut giant salamander.
Even the giant salamander's internal organs were not wasted. After Kumano washed them, he chopped them up and stir-fried them with chili peppers and some bean vegetables.
This giant salamander has no taste, and he doesn't mind eating even the internal organs.
When cooking, Zhou Ji stuffed some earth eggs into the stove and watched over them with his mental power. When he took them out, they were all baked just right.
He and Kumano ate roasted eggs with pickled cabbage, giant salamander and fish intestines fried with chili peppers. They were so full.
After eating and drinking, they went to the valley together, and then they learned that Ma Xiao had left.
Xiong Qi laughed and said, "Our tribe is very poor, we don't have much to eat, and we keep scolding them... they can't stay here!"
Xiong Bai followed up with, "It's not that they can't stay here. Maybe they want to go back and find someone soon, and then come and deal with us!"
The quiet Hu Yue said: "I'm waiting for them, and I will make sure they never come back!"
This spring, Hu Yue wanted to have a child, so she started looking for a suitable man in the tribe, but she couldn't find one.
Recently, she got together with a man from the Giant Pig Tribe, but she is not pregnant yet.
"Did they find anything?" Zhou Ji asked the priest.
"No, I've been asking someone to keep an eye on them." said the priest, and then told him what happened this morning.
After Ma Xiao woke up this morning, he continued to inquire about the news in their tribe and asked them how they hunted the heavy dragon - they put the bones of the heavy dragon in the col.
Then, they told Ma Xiao that not long ago a group of dinosaurs ran to their tribe, including some terrible predatory dinosaurs. As a result, those predatory dinosaurs didn’t know what was going on and didn’t even look at the road when they ran. They actually fell into a pond. Soon after, two barosaurs also fell in and crushed the predatory dinosaurs to death!
That would be fine, but one of the two heavy dragons got sick and later died...
At that time, Xiong He said proudly that he was next to Chonglong when he was sick and even took a few bites of him.
He even said with a bit of pride that their tribe should be able to survive the winter safely because of these harvests.
Xiong He and the priest revealed to Ma Xiao the weakness of their tribe, and told Ma Xiao that they had stored a lot of meat... Zhou Ji felt that the Giant Tiger Tribe would definitely attack them.
This is a tough battle for the Big Bear Tribe, but there are benefits to fighting.
The Big Bear Tribe will eventually fight with other tribes.
Of course, they also have to learn to use their brains instead of relying on brute force when fighting...
Zhou Ji was too lazy to teach others, so he took Kumano back to his residence and started teaching him.
He had taught Kumano some tactics before, and this time he changed to teaching Kumano how to train troops.
Zhou Ji didn't know much about training soldiers. What he knew about it came from novels, movies, and military training. There wasn't much he could say to Xiong Ye at the moment. He only emphasized one point - you must choose obedient subordinates.
Sometimes, if there are a few disobedient people in a team, they may bring trouble to the entire team.
Xiong Ye nodded seriously and asked Zhou Ji to write it down on bamboo slips.
Zhou Ji did as he was told, and then he finally understood why ancient classical Chinese was so concise and to the point.
It is really too troublesome to carve words on bamboo slips, and of course it is impossible to carve vernacular Chinese!
Speaking of which... when Qin Shihuang was reviewing memorials, if he had read memorials written in vernacular Chinese, it is estimated that it would take more than a few carts to transport all of his memorials, and would require hundreds of carts!
Zhou Ji now only regrets that he did not learn classical Chinese well.
After carving two words, Zhou Ji stopped carving and said, "I'm going to cook. I'll do this later." He decided to wait until Kumano was not around and use his mental power to carve the words.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ji turned and went into the kitchen.
The remaining half of the giant salamander can be used to make boiled giant salamander!
The so-called boiled giant salamander is actually prepared in a similar way to the sauerkraut giant salamander, except that the sauerkraut in the soup is replaced with other side dishes.
He didn't have many seasonings, so he couldn't make too many changes.
But even so, he became the best cook in the Big Bear Tribe, and was worshipped by countless people.
Zhou Ji was also helpless about this.
While Zhou Ji was having dinner with Xiong Ye, Ma Xiao had already found Mao Huo and said coldly, "How did you find out the news last time? The news you found was completely different from the real situation!"
"I didn't follow the last time we went to investigate the Big Bear Tribe." Maohuo was a little embarrassed.
"No wonder you know nothing about the Big Bear Tribe." Ma Xiao told what he had seen and heard.
"No wonder the Big Bear Tribe suffered a great loss at our hands but didn't react at all. It turns out that they had no ability to resist!" Mao Huo said, and became angry again with the weasel that "cheated" him.
This guy has always been timid, and what he said when he ran back was probably all nonsense!
"No matter what they do, we should go back as soon as possible," Ma said with a smile, "We can prepare and capture the Big Bear Tribe. Then, as long as we capture the priest, we can make the people in this tribe work for us."
Along the way, the Giant Tiger Tribe encountered a tribe with priests.
The priests in those tribes had no reaction, just like the priest of the Big Bear Tribe, but they were also loved by the people in the tribe like the priest of the Big Bear Tribe. Basically, as long as the priests were in their hands, those people were willing to work for them in order to prevent them from harming the priests.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe came and left in a hurry.
The people in the Big Bear Tribe immediately took a bath and then had a sumptuous dinner.
With the presence of Zhu Zhan and others, there is no shortage of meat in their tribe now.
Not only that, the dinosaurs they raised also grew bigger.
After Zhou Ji proposed raising dinosaurs, the tribe brought in many small dinosaurs for a while, but later many of them died of illness. In the end, there were only about seventy dinosaurs left, and these dinosaurs were kept in different cages according to their different races.
They eat a lot of plants every day, and some of the dinosaurs are a little too big. If they grow any bigger, they might break the fence.
Those big dinosaurs are not suitable for breeding. Only those weighing less than 500 kilograms after adulthood are suitable for breeding. Now... Zhou Ji decided to pick a big dinosaur to eat every other day.
By the way, they also fattened up the people in the tribe before the Giant Tiger Tribe came to attack them.
Zhou Ji's decision is very beneficial to Kumano, because Kumano is such a big eater!
After becoming a mid-level beast warrior, the beast form will become much larger. At this time, you naturally need to replenish energy and eat more food.
Xiong Ye now has to eat three meals a day, and it didn't take him much effort to finish all the eggs and barley that Zhou Ji had stored.
Even pumpkins are not spared.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji silently scattered barley seeds in his yard.
Barley is relatively cold-resistant, and it will germinate and grow if you plant it now.
With such delicious food and drink, Kumano's injuries were completely healed in just five days.
He looked at Zhu Zhan and was eager to give it a try.
Zhu Zhan: “…” This pervert! He has become a mid-level beast warrior not long after reaching adulthood. At this rate, he may become the Beast King in the future!
If he lived in a large tribe, he would probably be worshipped by others. Unfortunately, he lives in a small tribe...
Zhu Zhan thought so and looked away.
He could deal with Kumano when he was still a low-level beast warrior, but now Kumano has become a mid-level beast warrior... He suspected that if he faced Kumano, he might be like his subordinates, and be defeated by Kumano unfairly after exhausting his physical strength.
He would never accept the challenge again!
Kumano didn't know that Zhu Zhan had already made up his mind not to fight.
And now... to be honest, he had no intention of challenging the Pig War.
He is now very interested in the chief of the Giant Tiger Tribe. After all, according to the information he has received, the chief of the Giant Tiger Tribe should be a mid-level beast warrior.
According to Zhu Zhan, intermediate beast warriors are not very valuable in the Orc Continent, but they are very rare in the Wild Forest.
He wanted to find Hu Tian to test his skills, and find the Giant Tiger Tribe to try out the tactics Zhou Ji taught him!
