Chapter 62 - Barley Porridge (2/2)

Not all dinosaurs were that big.

Xiong Ping’s mouth dropped open. Although she was tasked with raising the dinosaurs, she had never counted them or calculated such things before…

However, Zhou Ji soon learned why the hunting team had been so busy. This was related to how far out they were traveling every time they went out to gather grass.

In the Big Bear Tribe, everyone was accustomed to not destroying the vegetation in the area around their tribe.

After sharing what limited knowledge he had about raising livestock with Xiong Ping, Zhou Ji went to check on the earth eggs.

The earth eggs were growing very well. He used his plant abilities to make them even better while thinking about where to find a new stretch of land to farm on.

Zhou Ji’s gaze landed on the mountain that he had almost levelled by accident.

There used to be many giant trees on that mountain, but now, they had all been uprooted or broken down, revealing the extremely fertile land that had been nourished by endless piles of fallen leaves. They would certainly be able to grow things over there if they tidied up the land there properly.

Of course, the land around the tribe could also be farmed.

When he thought of how much still needed to be done, Zhou Ji felt a little helpless.

“Zhou Ji, when do you plan to plant the plants that the Beast God told you to find?” The priest asked.

“I’ll hold a ceremony, then plant the plants that the Beast God has given us tomorrow.” Zhou Ji replied.

The priest looked at Zhou Ji and suddenly asked, “Are you finally willing to become the priest and take up my position in the tribe?”

Zhou Ji looked at the priest, “I am the Beast God’s messenger. I won’t become the priest.”

He really didn’t want to become the priest who had to be involved in everything. On the other hand, he could still find a way to keep his current position as the Beast God’s messenger.

Priest: “……” Did that mean he still needed to teach those children? After experiencing Zhou Ji’s learning ability, he was now truly despairing of those little childrens’ ability to learn!

Fine, he was also despairing of his own ability to learn.

However, he had a reason for it… He was old, and his brain couldn’t be expected to be as good as it had been when he was young.

After visiting the livestock and the farms, Zhou Ji returned back to the tribe.

The tribe had already begun to celebrate.

Xiong Ye and the others had brought back more salt than ever before. The people of the tribe were naturally extremely happy! Only, Xiong He’s expression was a little uncertain.

The threat from the Giant Tiger Tribe left him rather worried.

However, even he didn’t remain worried for too long. Let them come! If they couldn’t deal with it, they would simply fight!

The Big Bear Tribe had often fought with others before they had obtained a priest.

Xiong He calmed down when he thought about it from that angle. He found people to start boiling smoked meat and earth eggs in order to entertain the people of the Little Brook Tribe and celebrate the return of their own people at the same time.

All of the failed smoked meat experiments had already been consumed, so the meat that Xiong He brought out all consisted of the smoked meat that had been prepared well.

Not only was the burnt taste very faint with this smoked meat, it also gave off a very attractive scent. Earth eggs boiled like this with smoked meat were also especially delicious.

Xiong Ye and the others hadn’t eaten that well throughout their journey. At this moment, they felt like they couldn’t possibly eat fast enough. The people of the Little Brook Tribe were also very shocked––such delicious food actually existed in this world!

Bao Yu went over to Bao Cheng’s side and said, “Elder brother, I want to stay in this tribe and have a baby with Xiong Qi.”

Bao Yu had expressed her interest in both Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji, but had been rejected. Later on, she had set her sights on Xiong Qi, and Xiong Qi, who was someone who was very free in this aspect, had agreed.

Xiong Qi used to like Lang Yin for two reasons. First was that Lang Yin was very beautiful, and second was that Lang Yin’s animal form was white.

He thought that since both of them were white, they were very well matched.

However, Lang Yin didn’t like him and felt that he was too old, so he had given up. Now that Bao Yu was taking the initiative and offering herself, he didn’t hesitate to shift his affections to her instead.

Such things were common in this tribe. Xiong Ye had grown up with it and was used to it, and even Zhou Ji had become accustomed to it.

It wasn’t surprising that Bao Yu now wanted to remain with the tribe. She and Bao Cheng were the two strongest people in their tribe, but when compared to the Big Bear Tribe…

Other than peak level fighters like Xiong Ye, the Big Bear Tribe was also supported by a large number of strong warriors. These people had all awakened animal forms like black bears, black apes, and so on. There were also tigers like Hu Yue, and their combat power was no worse than Bao Yu or Bao Cheng.

This tribe gave them a very high sense of security.

Bao Cheng wasn’t surprised at his sister’s choice. It also abruptly occurred to him––he could also find a woman in the Big Bear Tribe to have children with and also live here!

The people of the Little Brook Tribe all began to think along those lines. And at this moment, Zhou Ji was busy cooking barley porridge.

He had picked out some of the barley that wouldn’t germinate, then produced a little more to add to the mix and started to cook porridge.

This was something he hadn’t had in a very long time… Zhou Ji suddenly felt his mouth water.
