Chapter 70 - Chili Pepper (1/2)

Ch70 - Chili Pepper

Carnivorous dinosaurs like the Carnotaurus and Carcharodontosaurus weren’t good at running long distances. They had only run for so long because of the herbs and were in fact very exhausted by now. After falling headlong into the pond, they were unable to move anymore.

Of course, the pond wasn’t that big, so they didn’t die after falling in. As a result, at this time, two Barosaurus ran over and also fell in.

These two Barosaurus were too big, so they filled up the pond completely and crushed the carnivorous dinosaurs beneath them.

Heavy, large dinosaurs like the Barosaurus also weren’t good at running. They typically wandered around at a slow and leisurely pace, constantly eating as they went––they were very large and required a lot, a lot of food.

Now, however, they had become extremely agitated under the influence of the herb. As a result, Xiong Ye watched with wide eyes as they stumbled and nearly lost their balance, then stood back up and restlessly began to walk back and forth.

Stepping back and forth on the bodies of the dinosaurs that had fallen into the pond before them.

Xiong Ye: “……”

“Xiong Ye, the dinosaur that fell in earlier… That was a Carnotaurus…” Xiong Qi was really in a daze, “We encountered them when we went to trade for salt after winter had passed. They ate a few of our people…”

“Mm…” Xiong Ye’s mood was indescribable as he looked at the Carnotaurus that had been trampled into the mud by the Barosaurus.

Not only had the Carnotaurus fallen in, there was also a Carcharodontosaurus down there that was even more terrible than the Carnotaurus!

Now, they had all been trampled to death.

The two Barosaurus were so big that Xiong Ye and the others didn’t dare to make any moves against them at all. They could only watch blankly as they panted and stomped on the dinosaurs beneath them. As for the ‘small dinosaurs’ that had been brought along with them, some of them had also fallen into the pond while others had already run off to who knows where.

The earth trembled under the steps of these Barosaurus. Xiong Ye and the others who were still in the vicinity found it difficult to stay upright.

Finally, Xiong Ye simply sat down.

Xiong Qi saw this and sat down as well. He took the opportunity to praise him, “Xiong Ye, you’re too amazing. You told us to dig out this trap and actually caught so many dinosaurs!”

Xiong Ye: “……” At first, he had indeed wanted to dig a trap, but it wasn’t a trap anymore. It was a pond! He had originally planned to use it to raise fish…

“It won’t be easy to get such a large dinosaur out of the water later!” Xiong Qi said.

Xiong Ye also felt that it wouldn’t be easy.

At this point, Xiong Qi swallowed his saliva again, “Before, it was the Carnotaurus eating us, but now it’s become us eating them. I wonder if it’s tasty.”

“That was a Carcharodontosaurus that fell in before the Carnotaurus! The most powerful dinosaur! I definitely have to see what it tastes like. If I’m able to try it, my entire life will have been worth it.” Bao Cheng said.

Bao Yu: “I feel that those two large dinosaurs should taste better.” Those two large Barosaurus… They were like two mountains of meat! Why hadn’t they fallen to their deaths in the trap!

Their trap had been too small!

They would make sure to dig a bigger one next time.

At this time, Mao Jin who had come out with the gathering team was still spitting.

Mao Jin was fourteen years old. She couldn’t be considered young and would therefore follow the gathering team to work during the day. When the gathering team heard that dinosaurs had come, the gathering team had hurriedly returned back to the tribe, but she had run over to take a look because her animal form was small, and she was able to climb trees––if she really encountered any danger, she would be able to escape simply by climbing a tree!

Yet as a result, Xiong Ye had asked her to catch the bat.

She had thought the bat was a bird, but unexpectedly it was someone in animal form! She had bitten someone to death!

Mao Jin kept feeling a little uncomfortable––it was so dirty!

“Bah!” The little cat who hadn’t turned back into human form spat once again.

When Bao Yu saw the situation, she immediately went to pick up the little kitten, “Mao Jin, you’re so amazing! If it weren’t for you, that bat might have been able to lead those dinosaurs straight to the tribe!”

The kitten was a little shy. Bao Yu added, “That bat led the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe to kill many of our people… Thank you for killing it!”

When the little kitten heard this, she was no longer embarrassed and instead puffed out her chest.

And then, Bao Yu gave her a kiss.

Xiong Ye was suddenly a little envious of Bao Yu and then couldn’t help but let out a sigh––why couldn’t Zhou Ji’s animal form be a small cat?

While Xiong Ye was still thinking about Zhou Ji, he saw Xiong He leading a group of people over. Zhou Ji was at the back of the crowd.

The neglected Xiong He: Shouldn’t this kind of thing be reported to him first?

“Where’s the meat?” Xiong He asked, “The meat you’re talking about shouldn’t be the two big fellows up ahead, right? We have no way to kill such big dinosaurs!”

Xiong Ye turned his head when he heard Xiong He’s words. Only then did he discover that the Carnotaurus and other dinosaurs had all been trampled under the water by the Barosauruses. “Chief, the meat I’m talking about is inside the pond. They’ve been stomped into the water by those two big dinosaurs!”

Xiong He: “……” Was that possible?

Zhou Ji had discovered this matter long ago and was actually quite delighted––Xiong Ye finally had meat to eat.

Only, this meat had been repeatedly trampled on by such heavy dinosaurs. The texture had probably worsened…

Zhou Ji enveloped the two Barosaurus with his spiritual powers and discovered that their mental state wasn’t quite right. It should be because they had eaten some sort of hallucinogenic plants.

Zhou Ji noticed that they seemed to be a bit dizzy and was nice enough to use his spiritual powers to help heal them a little.

The two dinosaurs that had still been going around in circles and had even hit their heads against the trees next to the pond, suddenly stopped moving. After that, they walked out of the pond and slowly made their way to the side, acting like nothing had happened as they began to eat the leaves off a tree.

Xiong Ye and the others were a little dazed. Zhou Ji kept his contributions to himself.

Regarding herbivorous dinosaurs, they generally wouldn’t take the initiative to deal with beastmen as long as they weren’t actively hunted. Seeing that the two Barosauruses had walked off, Xiong He immediately said, “We’ll go into the pond and drag the dinosaurs out!”

These Carnotaurus were seven to eight meters long and catching one was usually enough for an entire tribe to eat their fill. Not only that, there was also a ten meter plus Carcharodontosaurus inside as well as some smaller dinosaurs that had been knocked in accidentally…

Their tribe was going to be overflowing with meat again!

The people of the Big Bear Tribe, who had only just finished their farming work, were suddenly busy once again.

However, even though they were very busy, everyone was still very happy.

There was so much meat!

And this meat had also brought along so much other meat! They wouldn’t have to worry about being unable to find dinosaurs to hunt anymore!

The people of the Big Bear Tribe began to busy themselves as they went into the water to collect the meat, completely unfazed about getting dirty. Only Zhou Ji, who was wearing the white clothing he had weaved himself, remained by the side and watched quietly.

He was already to the side like this, but Xiong Ye was still worried that he might be bothered by the smell of blood, “Zhou Ji, the smell here is very intense. Do you want to go back to the tribe first?”

“The tribe also has the smell of blood.” Zhou Ji said.

Xiong Ye: “I’ll have people wash the meat first before bringing it back! It’ll be more convenient, too!”

After Xiong Ye said this, he immediately went to find Xiong He.

Xiong He gave Zhou Ji a reverent glance and agreed without hesitation. He even added, “Xiong Ye, you definitely have to treat Zhou Ji well!”

There had been no meat to eat in the tribe, and Xiong Ye had been unable to catch any prey. In this kind of situation, he had felt that it was pointless when Zhou Ji had told Xiong Ye to dig traps. He had even thought that Xiong Ye was merely wasting his strength, but Xiong Ye was willing to do it, so Xiong He hadn’t said much about it.

But look what had just happened! After they finished digging these traps, a group of dinosaurs actually ran over and even jumped into them on their own!

Zhou Ji was definitely loved by the Beast God!

It wasn’t only Xiong He who thought this way. Many people of the tribe also had these same thoughts.

Although they already knew that these dinosaurs had been led over by the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe, if Xiong Ye hadn’t dug these traps at Zhou Ji’s behest, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to catch these dinosaurs!

Since the people of the tribe were being so accommodating… Zhou Ji went back to continue napping.

There was nothing he needed to continue worrying about in the Big Bear Tribe. The Giant Tiger Tribe wouldn’t be back anytime soon after experiencing this setback… Zhou Ji felt that he no longer needed to toil and tire himself out.

It wasn’t a good thing for him to interfere too much. What would he do if he ended up guiding the tribespeople into becoming useless?

Zhou Ji returned to the tribe and decided to make himself some more daily necessities and improve his quality of life.
