Chapter 288 Primitive Beast World Cubs 62
The other savage looked conflicted. Despite their conflict and discussion, none of the savages slowed down their movements.
Despite his words, he remained diligent in his work.
"Which way? Do you know the way back?"
"We were dragged here bound and tied up. Are we going to be dragged back by those wolves?"
On the way here, the wolf-like beastmen were not polite to them. They originally thought they were going to be captured and eaten by the wolf-like beastmen.
After all, those orcs eat both meat and vegetables; they eat any kind of meat.
These humans, with their delicate skin and tender flesh, were so easy to eat in the eyes of these orcs, as they didn't have as much body hair as the other orcs.
You can eat it as soon as you catch it; you don't even need to wash it.
"I don't know, but this is a chance to go back."
"It's getting dark soon. Can you guarantee we'll get back safely? It's easy to encounter danger on the way; we might be gone before we even get back."
“I’m not going back. Look, she’s gathering firewood. She’ll definitely be cooking soon.”
She said she could create fire from the heavens, and I wanted to see if it was true.
These savages may look honest, but they are actually quite cunning. They huddle together and whisper endlessly, as if afraid that others won't hear their loud schemes.
One by one, the big trees were felled. The speed of felling trees was slow, but the strength was great. One axe blow was equivalent to several blows for an ordinary person.
These savages were clearly used to hard work; they knew that after cutting down a tree, they had to remove the branches, leaving only the bare trunk.
As it grew later, the group, who had been whispering and plotting loudly at the beginning, were now exhausted, covered in sweat, and too tired to speak.
These few savages are easy to get along with. When they're asked to work, they really work hard and don't know how to slack off at all. They're so honest and straightforward.
Born to be a beast.
"Alright, alright, you've been cutting down trees all day, come and take a break."
That's why I've made you cut down trees so slowly, but I can't let you go hungry either.
At Shen Ci's call, several savages dropped their axes and rushed over, their movements and speed as fast as students rushing to the cafeteria after school.
One by one, they dropped their axes and ran over to stand guard beside Shen Ci. They all had the same idea: to see how Shen Ci would start a fire.
A fire from the sky is a fire that occurs when lightning strikes the ground during thunderstorms.
Lightning strikes and wildfires are the main sources of fire. After obtaining fire, dry wood and grass are used to keep the fire burning. It needs to be stored in a dry place to avoid moisture, wind, and rain, which could extinguish it.
I wonder if the savages here invented methods like striking stones to make fire or drilling wood to make fire.
Making fire by hand was always very difficult in primitive societies, so once a fire was started, it had to be kept out as much as possible, because once it was extinguished, it was very difficult to get it back.
There was no thunder or lightning, so they were curious about how Shen Ci could conjure fire.
Surrounded by seven savages, Shen Ci remained calm and composed, spreading one hand out to support the other, forming a closed shape.
Then the hand inside gently pressed the lighter and aimed it at the fire. It was a small stove made of stone, filled with easily flammable firewood and wood.
Then, by blocking the view with their hands, it becomes difficult for those on the outside to see what is happening inside.
With a click, the lighter went off, and flames shot out, licking the dry hay and firewood. The fire grew from small to large, taking root firmly under the stove.
Shen Ci withdrew his hand, tucked the lighter into his sleeve, and sat up straight with an inscrutable air.
"This is fire. Only those who possess the power of fire can lead their race to strength. Do you see it clearly?"
The flames grew larger and larger, igniting the wood beneath the pottery jar. The warmth enveloped every savage, creating a truly tangible experience.
In this winter, warmth is so precious.
Even though they had just been working up a sweat, now that they were sitting still and relaxed, the cold air enveloped them again.
The flames in the bonfire were clearly visible to every savage, leaving them utterly astonished.
The savages were so frightened that they dared not speak.
Fire, heavenly fire, that fell from the sky, an energy they couldn't even imagine, and yet this female before them could do it.
If God can do it, so can she, then she = God! The truth is out!
"goddess!
This must be the next Great Shaman!
One of the savages said, with a mixture of fear and surprise, "What are you muttering? I can't understand you."
But as soon as he spoke, the way the other savages looked at Shen Ci changed.
She truly possesses this amazing ability; she's not just bragging or exaggerating.
Yes, very good, this is exactly the effect I wanted. Shen Ci was very satisfied.
As for the "great shaman" they mentioned, it's obvious even to a fool that he's some kind of shaman or priest among some race, a profession sometimes called high priest.
A profession that seems almost magical.
"You, you really can control fire!"
"She truly is a descendant of her people and the gods! The high shaman said that the next high shaman in the tribe will possess the power of fire!"
Being fooled isn't scary; what's scary is fooling yourself and then believing it yourself after hearing it too many times.
But it is also possible, coincidentally, that such prophetic things do exist among these savage tribes.
"Yes.
Now I will prepare food for you; eating it will restore your health.
Shen Ci said, "Pour some millet, some diced potatoes, and then some meat into the pot. It's a big stew, all in one pot."
The most crucial step is adding salt, oil, and other seasonings.
The ingredients I have on hand are not enough right now, so the dishes I make are rather plain and natural. I've decided to think about it and try making soy sauce in the next couple of days.
If a person's body is too weak, it is very likely that they are lacking certain nutrients, the most common being a lack of salt and oil.
These wild men were exhausted and needed to replenish their fluids and salt, so she specially added salt to the stew.
The savages couldn't understand her actions, but the skill she had just displayed was enough to shock them.
As more firewood was added to the stove, the fire gradually grew bigger, and the porridge in the pot simmered and bubbled, emitting bursts of white steam.
In the winter of Hanle, a bowl of hot meat porridge like this is a testament to its high quality.
The aroma of meat and rice wafted out, wafting in waves. Seven savages and one modern man sat around the fire, reaching out their hands to warm themselves.
While waiting for food, the savages knew to cook food before eating, so they were not surprised by Shen Ci's use of fire. Only by mastering fire could they discover that food could be cooked.
