Chapter 86 - Ripe Barley (2/2)
……
Hou Shi and the others were all looking on in a daze. They were newcomers who hadn’t seen Xiong Ye and the people of the Giant Pig Tribe fight before, and now that Xiong Ye was being beaten up like this, people were still shouting out support. They were a little worried as they asked, “Xiong Ye is about to lose. Why are the people from the Big Bear Tribe still cheering?”
Was this Big Bear Tribe stupid? Based on the current situation, the one who was defeated was clearly Xiong Ye!
“Xiong Ye will win.” Hou Shi’s son Hou Bao was full of confidence in Xiong Ye and his eyes glittered with the strength of his worshipful gaze, “Big brother Xiong Ye can’t be beaten down!”
Hou Shi: “……” Looking at Xiong Ye’s current appearance, it was obvious that his strength had been exhausted. How could he continue to fight?
Hou Shi was thinking along those lines when he saw Xiong Ye, who had been knocked down again, climb right back up and charge towards the two men from the Giant Pig Tribe.
At the end of the match, it was the people from the Giant Pig Tribe who could no longer continue to get up. After having been thoroughly exhausted by Xiong Ye, they finally chose to give up.
The two of them turned into their human forms at the same time and said, “No more, no more. We admit defeat!”
This Xiong Ye’s endurance was too good!
Hearing that these two people had admitted defeat, Xiong Ye fell to the ground and began to pant. He had a lot of wounds on his body; the blood made his fur clump up, and he looked very miserable.
The former slaves who had just joined the Big Bear Tribe saw this scene and felt some pity towards Xiong Ye-Xiong Ye had suffered such serious injuries, would he be alright?
Hou Shi also asked this question.
Hou Bao explained, “Big brother Xiong Ye will be fine. He’ll be recovered by tomorrow!”
Hou Shi didn’t really believe him. He had fought so fiercely and suffered so many injuries that he would need at least two days to recover. How could he be fine by tomorrow?
The next day, he saw Xiong Ye running and jumping around as he went out with the hunting team. On the other hand, the two men who had fought against him were obviously tired and were low in energy with bruised and swollen bodies.
This Xiong Ye was really too powerful!
Hou Shi was full of admiration, and then… He suddenly realized, if Xiong Ye was given another few years to grow, wouldn’t there be hope that he could surpass Hu Tian?
While Hou Shi was thinking about such matters, he was following everyone out to cut and gather grass.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe were raising some dinosaurs, and those dinosaurs ate a lot of grass every day. Their task of cutting grass to feed them was very important!
But they were glad to endure such hardships.
Since they were raising so many dinosaurs, it meant that the Big Bear Tribe wouldn’t lack for food even in winter, right?
And Hou Shi’s current view of the tribe’s situation was cemented even further when he saw the small mountain of earth eggs that they had harvested!
After the earth eggs were put away, they added fertilizer and ploughed the ground before planting another crop of earth eggs. When they were done with all that work, they thought they could have a breather, but then the barley ripened!
The barley was finally ready for harvest!
Zhou Ji couldn’t help but be a little excited when he saw the golden stalks.
Although the food that could be made with barley was more limited than that of wheat, he had been dreaming of barley for a long time.
Xiong Ye also missed barley. After eating the flatbread last time, he had been eagerly looking forward to eating it again!
Those who had eaten or seen the flatbread before were all looking forward to having barley, but those who had just come to the Big Bear Tribe felt more curiosity than excitement towards it.
The barley that grew at the end of these stalks was really small!
Even the smallest earth eggs were the size of a fingernail, but this grain was even smaller than that. How were they supposed to harvest it and eat it?!
