Chapter 27 What are you thinking about? Eat it!!
As early as when he first discovered this crack cave, Zhou Xu had already made a judgment in his mind that it should have been caused by the movement of the earth's crust, and was later occupied by the giant spider and became its nest.
Although it is daytime now, the weather is very good and the sun is bright, but this crevice cave is still pitch black.
With the ability of "Eye of Insight", Zhou Xu first stood outside and observed the inside.
After confirming that there was no threat inside, he appointed two more tribe members to guard outside, and then signaled everyone to light torches and go deeper into the cave.
Thanks to his talent, the eyesight of the tribe members has been improved accordingly.
This of course also includes seeing in a relatively dim environment.
Now, with the help of torches, they can basically see the inside of the cave clearly.
The place was almost completely filled with dense spider webs.
Considering convenience, Zhou Xu originally wanted to deal with all the spider webs, but then he changed his mind.
"Just find a spot on the edge and make a hole for us to pass through. The rest of the spider webs can be used as our predator traps, which can save us a lot of energy."
Naturally, the tribal members had no objection to Zhou Xu's orders.
It was roughly estimated that the spider's nest was only about ten meters deep. After breaking through the numerous obstacles of the spider web formation, everyone quickly reached the deepest part.
The space inside was relatively spacious, but it was in a mess. At the same time, the disgusting stench filled the entire space, making their faces turn blue.
"Everyone spread out to explore and speed up the efficiency."
The tribal members who received the order took action immediately. Zhou Xu himself was of course not idle either. He held a torch and carefully explored every inch of land.
But it was too smelly in here. In order to improve efficiency and get out quickly, Zhou Xu directly used the mantra again.
【Eye of Insight】
At that moment, his vision was completely opened. As his eyes swept across the cave, a black stone that fell on the ground and seemed to be no different from the other surrounding stones at first glance came into his sight.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Xu walked over, bent down and picked it up.
Under the gaze of his 'Eye of Insight', he could now clearly discover that this stone had a different texture from other stones.
In fact, it's not just on a visual level; through the friction of the fingers, the sense of touch is also different, and his fingertips are stained with color.
【This is……】
Zhou Xu's heartbeat quickened as if he had thought of something.
"Everyone, pay attention!"
As he spoke, he raised the black stone in his hand.
"Pick up as many black stones as you can."
Although they still don't know why their leader wants to pick up these black stones, the experience they have summed up during this period of time is that no matter what their leader asks them to do, they will do it without any problem.
After everyone had picked up most of the black stones, Zhou Xu took the lead and left the cave.
After all, he had already observed this cave with the help of the "Eye of Insight" and had not discovered anything else for the time being.
With his bark bag filled with black stones, Zhou Xu couldn't wait to return to the tribe.
Unexpectedly, when he was still some distance away from the tribal camp, the cheers coming from the tribe had already completely drowned him out!
The body of the giant spider, which had been dismembered and carried back to the tribe, told him the reason.
As the winners of this battle with the giant spider, the tribal members led by Zhou Xu are qualified to enjoy the warmest cheers.
This battle not only allowed them to ensure the safety of all tribal members, but also allowed them to have a good meal!
Before, Zhou Xu would never have the idea of eating this kind of thing.
But now…
What are you thinking? Eat it!
Amidst the warmest cheers from the tribal members, Zhou Xu was welcomed into the tribe.
Putting down the bark bag full of stones, he took out a stone from it with quick movements and threw it into the fire in front of him.
After that, he ignored him and walked over to look at the giant spider corpse that was being processed.
This was the first time he had seen such a big spider, but unfortunately, there was nothing in the spider's stomach. However, its eight legs were a little beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.
From a preliminary evaluation, it feels like a king crab leg.
Just thinking about it, Zhou Xu's mouth began to secrete saliva.
No matter whether this thing tastes good or not, in this era, being able to have a full meal is already a luxury.
This made everyone in the tribe start looking forward to the upcoming dinner.
Fei Que was obviously looking forward to it as well, but he wanted more than anyone else in the tribe.
"Chief, should we save some food for storage?"
At this critical moment when everyone was thinking about having a big meal, Feique was able to resist the temptation and thought about storing food.
This shows that Fei Que can remain calm and rational even in this state. To some extent, it is also a manifestation of strong willpower, which makes Zhou Xu look up to him again.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to preserve the meat of this giant spider. It depends on the situation. Eat it over two to three days. As for storing food, you can store the mice you caught today first."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he waved at Fei Que.
"Come with me."
Taking Feique with him, Zhou Xu quickly walked to the side.
By this time, all the mice had been dealt with. He picked up one of them and started rubbing salt on it.
"Just like this, rub the salt on, then use this thin rope to pass them through, string them together, and then hang them on the propped up rack. Be careful not to get them wet..."
He discovered salt right away, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Because it allows him to preserve food directly by making pickles.
As long as they can store enough food, they will be more confident in doing anything later.
Marinating meat itself does not have too much technical difficulty.
After leaving all the subsequent matters to Feique, Zhou Xu walked back to the fire.
After all this trouble, the stone he threw in at the beginning had been burning in the fire for quite some time.
Zhou Xu picked up the branch used to stir the fire, slowly pulled out the stone and took a look. A smile immediately broke out on his face.
"This stone is indeed coal ore. There is a coal mine under this black forest!!"
