Chapter 62 - Barley Porridge
Ch62 Barley Porridge
The people of the Little Brook Tribe were really shocked by the fact that the Big Bear Tribe actually raised dinosaurs, You can raise dinosaurs?
Even if some of the smaller dinosaurs werent scary, some dinosaurs, like the Centrosaurus, were huge and intimidating. It was very difficult for the Little Brook Tribe to take one of them down even if all of their warriors worked together!
How could such dinosaurs be raised?
Of course. To raise dinosaurs, you just have to feed them grass. Then after theyve grown up, we can kill them for meat. Zhou Ji said.
The people of the Little Brook Tribe stared at Zhou Ji in awe.
Was that actually possible? How amazing!
Why hadnt they thought of doing something like that before?
If it was possible to raise dinosaurs, they wouldnt need to go hungry. If they didnt go hungry, they could have more and more people in their tribe. If they had more people in their tribe, they wouldnt have been defeated by the Giant Tiger Tribe
While Bao Chengs thoughts were still endlessly churning, Xiong Bai turned to Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye, who are these people?
The last time the salt team returned, they had been missing many people. How had they managed to come back with more people this time?
They are people from the Little Brook Tribe. Xiong Ye said, Lets go back quickly. I have something to say to the tribal chief.
The fact that the Giant Tiger Tribe wanted to attack them wasnt good news.
However, the place that their tribe was located was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It wouldnt be easy for the Giant Tiger Tribe to defeat them!
Additionally, they had killed so many people from the Giant Tiger Tribe. They probably didnt have many warriors left to fight with, right?
Xiong Ye wasnt very clear about the Giant Tiger Tribes situation, so he wanted to meet with Xiong He and the priest to have a proper discussion and think up a plan together.
The salt teams return was a very big occasion!
Some people had already gone back to the tribe in advance to tell everyone else about their return, so when Xiong Ye and the others arrived, Xiong He, the priest, and everyone else were already waiting at the gate of their tribe.
Xiong Ye felt quite happy inside when he saw this scene.
This was the scene that he had always wanted to see. He hoped that he could do something good for the people of the tribe.
Xiong Ye saw the priest heading towards him excitedly and said, Grandpa Priest, Im back!
Priest: Zhou Ji, did you find the thing that the Beast God asked you to find?
Thats great! The priest said, Oh, right. The earth eggs have all been planted. Do you want to take a look?
Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had been gone for almost a month on this journey. Not only had the earth eggs all been planted, some of them had even begun to germinate.
The weather had been quite warm recently. If they were watered well, the earth eggs would bud very quickly.
Alright. Zhou Ji nodded.
Xiong Ye watched as his mate was taken away just like that
There were still many things he needed to do as well. He needed to give the salt to the tribal chief, and he needed to discuss the Little Brook Tribe and Giant Tiger Tribes matters, so he could only watch helplessly as Zhou Ji left.
Forget it, Zhou Ji would return at night anyway!
Xiong Ye immediately went to talk to Xiong He. At this time, Zhou Ji had already come face to face with over two hundred baby dinosaurs of all types.
Hadnt they said that there were only about a hundred? There were nearly three hundred baby dinosaurs here if he added them all up!
Forget it, the people of the Big Bear Tribe werent good with numbers
Zhou Ji remained calm as he looked at all these baby dinosaurs.
All sorts of different dinosaurs were being raised together, and they were also being fed very chaotically. Even if these little dinosaurs had hardy survival skills, quite a few of them were already at deaths door
Separate the different types of dinosaurs and feed them the food that they like to eat. Zhou Ji said.
Why do we need to be so nice to them? Xiong Ping didnt understand. Although she fed on dinosaurs, she didnt have any positive feelings towards themmany people in the tribe had been killed by dinosaurs!
In order to raise them up and eat their meat. Zhou Ji explained.
With this in mind, Xiong Ping, who had originally been a little dissatisfied, immediately recovered. However, she was still a little anxious, These dinosaurs arent easy to raise. They eat too much, and the hunting team has to spend all day outside gathering grass in order to barely get enough to feed them.
How much grass do they eat every day? Zhou Ji asked.
Zhou Ji had also considered the possibility that dinosaurs wouldnt be easy to raise. Certain dinosaurs grew to be too big, and the bigger they were, the more they would eat.
That was why he had planned to try raising all sorts of dinosaurs before finally choosing the ones most suitable for raising as livestock.
Not all dinosaurs were that big.
Xiong Pings 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 Jis 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.
Ill 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 Gods messenger. I wont become the priest.
He really didnt 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 Gods messenger.
Priest: Did that mean he still needed to teach those children? After experiencing Zhou Jis 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 couldnt 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 Hes expression was a little uncertain.
The threat from the Giant Tiger Tribe left him rather worried.
However, even he didnt remain worried for too long. Let them come! If they couldnt 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 hadnt eaten that well throughout their journey. At this moment, they felt like they couldnt possibly eat fast enough. The people of the Little Brook Tribe were also very shockedsuch delicious food actually existed in this world!
Bao Yu went over to Bao Chengs 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 Yins animal form was white.
He thought that since both of them were white, they were very well matched.
However, Lang Yin didnt 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 didnt 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 wasnt 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 wasnt surprised at his sisters choice. It also abruptly occurred to himhe 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 wouldnt germinate, then produced a little more to add to the mix and started to cook porridge.
This was something he hadnt had in a very long time Zhou Ji suddenly felt his mouth water.
