Chapter 260 - Clean up and expand (2/2)

Ke Ke had tried to raise some beasts before, but in the end he threw them in the pot. Now he was hatching eggs, no one knew what would be the result.

Shaw Xuan became interested.

“Let’s go and have a look. He has been hatching the eggs for so long. Have the birds come out yet or not?” Shao Xuan went to Ke Ke’s house.

“Not yet, probably.” Tuo recently had been busy with his own affairs. He had to finish his tasks in the tribe and spent the rest of his time building his house.

When Shao Xuan arrived, Ke Ke was coming out and saw Shao Xuan. Ke Ke looked happy and said, “I was just coming to get you! Shao Xuan, what did Chacha eat when he had just hatched?”

Listening to the twitter in the room, Shao Xuan and Tuo also knew what had happened.

“I fed it some beast meat... You should feed them some beast meat now, rather than ferocious beast meat... Tear the meat into smaller pieces. Yes, like this.” Shao Xuan saw Ke Ke tear the beast meat into strips to feed those birds. He seldom showed so much patience.

“Why do you want to raise them?” Shao Xuan asked. These birds-of-prey were aggressive and vicious. They didn't have much flesh, so he shouldn’t be planning to raise them for food. If he wanted food, he should buy some large birds from the Lu tribe. Could it be that he wanted to raise them and have the Shaman brand them?

“They run fast.” Ke Ke said as he fed them, “I figured that if they can be tamed, then we can ride them in the forest.”

While chasing the people of the Wan Shi tribe, Ke Ke noticed that the birds ran very fast in the forest. Though they were not as big as Mai’s crane, which was a ferocious beast. However, it was undeniable that these birds could move swiftly in the forest.

If they could be tamed, they could be more helpful in the forest than horses.

“What will you do if you fail?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I will eat them.” Ke Ke said. It was common for the people of the Flaming Horns tribe to cook those they raised.

After giving some advice to Ke Ke, Shao Xuan left, as he had to go hunting.

Old Ke had polished the hunting tools, and Shao Xuan took them with him.

Winter was coming. Every day, some of them went hunting. They went out in the morning, and returned with prey before the sunset, because it was a short trip and they moved fast enough.

Shao Xuan met up with Mai and Lang Ga and went deep into the forest.

Because of the burning of the fire seed, some ferocious beasts had left the area of the tribe, but not all of them had gone.

Shao Xuan could see some marks left on the trees while walking. If totem warriors had gotten rid of the dangerous animals in the area, they would leave a mark on the surrounding trees. One group after another took turns and more and more marks were left across the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.

“There’s still a long way to the border that the Shaman drew.” Mai said as he looked at the last mark.

In the plan made by the Shaman and the leaders, the Flaming Horns tribe had a large site. In fact, it was not really a border they had drawn based on their personal opinion. Instead, they had drawn according to the map left by their ancestors.

The Flaming Horns tribe hadn't settled in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. A thousand years had seen geographic changes and the disappearance of the old Flaming Horns tribe. The Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest had expanded like this. If the Flaming Horns tribe wanted to keep the old border, they had to remove all beasts and ferocious beasts gradually to occupy as large a site as before.

“If we’re going to grow some plants, we need a larger place. To keep a large number of animals, we also need more space.” Shao Xuan said.

“That’s true.” The others nodded and became excited as they began imagining that picture.

“OK, from now on, be careful!” Mai said.

Here, no one had ever cleaned up the dangerous creatures. Everyone needed to be careful about the poisonous and extremely threatening plants, and the hidden beasts and ferocious beasts.

They had plenty of hunting experience, and when Mai reminded them, they became alert immediately and stopped talking and laughing.

While others feared the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe did not feel it was hard to live here. Moreover, they even felt it was familiar. The environment here was very similar to that of their old hunting grounds. They soon adapted themselves to the environment of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. They loved it very much, although it was indeed very dangerous.
