Xiong Ye wanted to wash for a bit longer, but Zhou Ji quickly finished helping him scrub his hair, “Let’s go back.” FluAg8

By the time the two of them arrived back at the tribe together, Xiong He and the rest had already returned.

Xiong He’s team had captured quite a lot of prey this time, but none of it was as big as the dinosaur that Xiong Ye had caught. Even so, everyone was very satisfied.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Today was a rare bumper harvest day, and everyone was very happy. Even those who were sad due to the deaths of those from the salt team had smiles on their faces.

Herds of herbivorous dinosaurs would flee in panic when they first saw a carnivorous dinosaur, but after the carnivorous dinosaur had hunted down one of their brethren and had begun to eat, the herbivorous dinosaurs would stop running and continue to calmly carry on grazing in the carnivorous dinosaur’s vicinity. 6OhqmR

People in the Big Bear Tribe weren’t like this, but in this kind of environment, they also wouldn’t grieve over the dead for too long.

“Every warrior will be able to get tens of kilograms of meat today.”

“Even the people from the gathering team will be allocated quite a lot.”

“We should be able to trade for a lot of salt with the Gargoyleosaurus armor!”

……

The people in the tribe chattered amongst themselves as they cut apart the dinosaurs, splattering blood all over their bodies. Some even patted their chests with bloody hands and showed off the marks to others as they boasted about how they had hunted down their prey.

Xiong Bai was among them.

Zhou Ji watched Xiong Bai, a girl, act like this and felt that the scene was a little difficult to take in. BdUkur

Of course, the others obviously didn’t think so. Some men clearly enjoyed Xiong Bai’s behavior.

In such an environment, the extremely clean Zhou Ji and the freshly-washed Xiong Ye seemed particularly out of place. Some people who had originally been very excited, having wanted to go up, greet Xiong Ye, and pat him on his shoulder, felt too embarrassed to do so.

So, there was only Xiong Qi who came over and said, “Xiong Ye, you were very impressive today and actually managed to catch a Gargoyleosaurus! What’s more, you look different today. You stand out from the crowd!”

Xiong Ye was a little embarrassed from the praise, and Zhou Ji felt a little speechless––How come he felt that Xiong Qi had developed a new tendency for flattering? fxaig2

Fortunately, Xiong He interrupted Xiong Qi’s endless praise. “Everyone should go to the river to wash up! How do you guys think you look, covered in blood? And that meat and intestines, take them and wash them too! I’ll divide up the meat after everyone’s washed up!”

“Yes, Chief!” Everyone responded loudly and gleefully went to the river to wash themselves clean.

Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji went to put their new harvest in the cave––the man-eating fish that Xiong Ye had caught using his own body as bait.

Uh… If someone was seriously injured and fell into the water, it wouldn’t be surprising if they ended up devoured until nothing remained but bones.

“This kind of man-eating fish is really tasty. One time, I had a leg injury when I was trying to catch fish in the water. Several man-eating fish rushed at me, and then I caught them all and ate until I was really full!” Xiong Ye shared stories from when he was a child with Zhou Ji. Back then, he had been very, very hungry and hadn’t been able to catch any fish. He had been frustrated, but had unexpectedly managed to hook some man-eating fish!

Later on, he came up with a better way to catch the man-eating fish, which was to jump into the water and wash up when he was covered in blood. oegYwE

Unfortunately, there were fewer and fewer man-eating fish nowadays…

Xiong Ye was very happy as he spoke, describing it as a very amusing story, but Zhou Ji was a little distressed.

Xiong Ye should’ve been very young at that time, but he had to work so hard just for a mouthful of food…

Having experienced the end of the world, Zhou Ji had always thought that life in the tribe was very good, Now, however, he began to feel that Xiong Ye had been quite pitiable. 5svJfG

When he realized this, Zhou Ji couldn’t help laughing a bit.

Xiong Ye saw that Zhou Ji was laughing and grew even more delighted. He talked more about the man-eating fish as they headed back to the valley and waited for the meat to be distributed.

He was still speaking when the priest came up to stop him, “Xiong Ye.”

“Grandpa Priest, is something the matter?” Xiong Ye asked. R2HkdP

“Indeed.” The priest said. “What kind of herbs did you give Xiong Qi? Why were they so miraculous?”

Today, Xiong Qi had constantly been finding ways to praise Xiong Ye. The priest had heard it of course, and then become curious, “Could it be that you found the legendary Beast God Fruit?”

As an apprentice of the previous priest, the current priest knew a lot about the outside world. He also knew that there were some miraculous plants in this world, such as the Beast God Fruit.

It was said that the Beast God Fruit was a small, red fruit. As long as someone ate one, they would be able to enhance their strength and become a Beast King. G5 8qF

Although the priest had never seen such a thing, he believed everything that the previous priest had told him and was convinced that there existed Beast God Fruits in this world.

The stories said that it was a gift that the Beast God had left for the beastmen.

“No, how could I possibly have the Beast God Fruit?” Xiong Ye had heard the priest talk of the legends surrounding the Beast God before, so he said, “I only gave Xiong Qi a type of common medicinal herb.”

Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji as he spoke. gaT8WD

Zhou Ji said, “It’s actually a kind of medicinal herb that helps people sleep. I was very noisy as a child, and my mother would feed it to me.”

“There are herbs like that?” The priest was a little surprised.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Yes.” Zhou Ji said, “You will sleep very sweetly after taking this herb. And if you sleep well, your body will naturally recover… Xiong Ye and I have eaten it before. Since Xiong Qi said that his body hurt so much that he couldn’t sleep, we gave him some.”

The priest was suddenly enlightened. BNh4mH

He had no way to deal with Xiong Qi’s injuries, but seeing that Xiong Qi had recovered so much overnight, he had thought that Xiong Ye had given him some treasure to eat. Unexpectedly, it was just some medicinal herbs that would put him to sleep… “What does this kind of medicinal herb look like? Can you let me take a look?”

“I gave the rest of the herbs to Xiong Qi.” Zhou Ji said.

“I’ll go ask him for it right away!” The priest said.

Zhou Ji naturally wouldn’t stop him. Seeing that the priest had left, he turned to Xiong Ye and apologized, “I’m sorry. I gave you those herbs to eat without your permission before…” Q2vZNK

“Why are you apologizing? You did it for my sake!” Xiong Ye didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with Zhou Ji giving him those medicinal herbs at all, “No wonder I was sleeping so well before! It turns out it was because of those herbs. It makes a lot of sense that sleeping well leads to good health. My body’s been really healthy lately; should I go and get more of those herbs to eat?”

“No need. You’ve been sleeping very well lately even without those herbs.” Zhou Ji said.

“That’s true. I’ve always slept really well, and I don’t really have to eat those things.” Xiong Ye wanted to say that it had been a bit of a waste for Zhou Ji to feed him those herbs in the first place, but then he abruptly realized that he hadn’t been sleeping all that well back when Shi Li had broken up with him.

Later, Zhou Ji had begun to feed him, and he had finally started to sleep well again. L9x1n4

Zhou Ji was really dedicated to taking care of him… Xiong Ye was a little touched.

Zhou Ji: It was so easy to trick the little bear. But that made sense; even the priest of the tribe was easy to deceive, let alone a little bear…

While Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye were talking, the priest had already gone to look for Xiong Qi and asked him for Xiong Ye’s herbs.

Xiong Qi felt a lot of respect for the priest and hurriedly brought out the herbs for him. He added, “Priest, this must be a very precious herb. It was extremely effective.” TdetQU

The priest glanced at Xiong Qi and said, “Yes, it is indeed a very precious herb that I have never seen before. Beast God is watching over us. It was really very nice of Xiong Ye to give you those herbs.”

He had recently enjoyed Xiong Ye’s honey, so the priest didn’t mind saying a few more good words for Xiong Ye in front of Xiong Qi, so that Xiong Qi would feel even more grateful towards Xiong Ye.

This was also good for Xiong Qi; Xiong Ye was most likely going to become the tribal chief in the future. If Xiong Qi had continued looking down on Xiong Ye like he had been before, it would have made things more difficult for him in the long run.

Xiong Qi had already felt very grateful towards Xiong Ye, and he became even more so after hearing the priest’s words. Dp2shr

Shi Li saw that Xiong Qi could now walk normally and frowned.

He remembered that in his last life, Xiong Qi had also been injured when he came back from the salt exchange expedition. Later on, because he hadn’t taken care of his own injury and had gone hunting as usual, for some unknown reason, his entire body had eventually healed crooked, and his fighting power had been greatly reduced…

Xiong Qi had become useless, and Xiong He also died later on, so he had been left to become the tribal chief in the end.

But why was Xiong Qi doing so well now? 7VpdXz

He had landed hits on Xiong Qi’s wounds several times during their fight. Xiong Qi’s injuries clearly should’ve become even more serious now than they had been in his last life.

Things had changed, and all of this made Shi Li a little anxious. And while Shi Li was thinking, Xiong Qi had run over to talk to Niu Er.

Niu Er had nearly died and had also been saved. He felt that he and Niu Er had many things to talk about.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Niu Er had stayed in his cave all day today, he would’ve probably tried to have a good chat with Niu Er even earlier. dwpb6O

As for this chat… Xiong Qi just knew that Niu Er must have taken the same herbs he had.

Niu Er’s injuries had been much more serious than his. Xiong Qi would’ve lost his fighting power from his wounds, but Niu Er’s injuries… Everyone had thought that Niu Er would die.

However, Xiong Qi ultimately didn’t lose his fighting power, and Niu Er hadn’t died.

All of this must be because of Xiong Ye. It must be due to the medicinal herbs that Xiong Ye had given them. diDqJe

Xiong Qi felt even more indebted to Xiong Ye. Now with Xiong Qi saying all these things, Niu Er, who had already felt grateful to Xiong Ye, was also moved to tears. Only, Niu Er wasn’t as talkative as Xiong Qi and wouldn’t boast about Xiong Ye everywhere the way Xiong Qi did.

Even so, Niu Er had already made up his mind to repay Xiong Ye in the future.

While Xiong Qi was busy praising Xiong Ye everywhere to the skies, Xiong He began to divvy up the meat.

Every warrior of the tribe was given a lot of meat, and even Xiong Qi and Niu Er received quite a bit. Xiong He even said, “You guys should focus on getting better. After you’ve recovered, you can continue to participate in the hunts.” 2djXOV

Xiong Qi and Niu Er nodded one after the other, and the two of them decided to have a full meal, then get a good night’s sleep.

It seemed as though their injuries would heal on their own just by sleeping.

Juurensha: See, some ppl know how to be properly grateful for help.
