Xiong Ye and the people of the Little Brook Tribe dug out a good many traps, but they were still unable to encounter any dinosaurs that they could drive into the traps despite searching for several days.
Life was miserable!
That day, the hunting team once again brought back many edible plants and fruits. Xiong Ye selected several of the tastier types to bring back to the cave for Zhou Ji to eatโโafter the past few days, the people of the tribe were all basically sick of eating fruit, and nobody placed much value on these things. Xiong He simply set the food to one side of their tribe, and everyone helped themselves as they liked.
Xiong Ye was listless as he entered the cave. His spirits only rose slightly when he saw Zhou Ji, โZhou Ji, I brought you back some fruit. Give it a try.โ
Zhou Ji accepted the fruit, then asked, โWere you still unable to get enough meat today?โ
Xiong Ye nodded gloomily, โI havenโt eaten meat in a long time!โ
Zhou Ji: โ……โ In fact, Xiong Ye had some meat to eat every day, it was just that there wasnโt that much of it…
However, he had been very busy recently and had been cultivating all the time. He needed a lot of energy for these things, so it was normal for him to feel hungry.
โIf only some dinosaurs would come!โ Xiong Ye continued.
Zhou Ji felt a little guilty when he saw Xiong Ye like this.
If he hadnโt gone into a frenzy, Xiong Ye wouldnโt have ended up with no meat to eat…
โZhou Ji, Iโm going to go out for a bit and see if I can catch anything by the river.โ Xiong Ye said, then sped quickly out of the cave, heading towards the river.
Zhou Ji watched him go, then brought out a handful of barley, using his abilities to produce more and looked at the resulting grains in his hands.
On the way to the river, Xiong Ye passed by the place that the tribe was using to farm and raise livestock.
Earth eggs and barley could be harvested once every three months. The second batch of earth eggs had already grown abundantly and could be harvested in a month. The first batch of barley had already sprouted and would be ready in two months.
Xiong Ye used to love eating earth eggs, but now… He had already lost all interest in earth eggs.
He wanted to eat meat, a lot of meat!
It was indeed true that it was difficult to accept a hard life after enjoying the good life. He had eaten very poorly before he joined the hunting team, and at the time, he had been happy with just being able to fill his stomach. Now… He would actually feel unhappy if he couldnโt eat what he wanted to eat!
Xiong Ye felt that he shouldnโt be like this, but he couldnโt resist swallowing back saliva when he looked at the fat little dinosaurs that were being raised on the other side of the fence.
When would these little dinosaurs grow up…
Xiong Ye spent a while feeling unhappy because he didnโt have enough meat to eat, but his spirits recovered by the time he reached the river.
However, he didnโt know if it was because he had been fishing more recently or something else, but he was actually unable to catch any fish!
Finally, after Xiong Ye had stayed in the river for a long time, he decided there was really no other way and could only dive to the bottom of the water and pry up several mussels.
This kind of thing was also edible, but people in the tribe didnโt like it because a big mussel often only yielded a small piece of meat after being roasted, and it was tough and difficult to chew.
Additionally, they were hard to find… Xiong Ye had brought many different things to Zhou Ji for him to eat, but he hadnโt brought him any mussels before.
After prying up a few river mussels, Xiong Ye returned back to the tribe.
The tribe had already begun to prepare dinner. As usual these days, it was earth eggs cooked with vegetables and pieces of meat that had been cut into very small pieces.
Xiong Ye felt hungry when he smelled the food, but he also didnโt really want to eat.
He first brought the mussels back to the cave while waiting for the food to be cooked.
โZhou Ji, these are river mussels. Have you had them before? Do you want them?โ Xiong Ye asked.
Zhou Ji looked at the river mussels and was actually quite interested in them.
He had eaten river mussels before, and although they werenโt that delicious, for better or worse, they didnโt have much taste…

โI donโt like to eat roasted things. Kill it and take out the meat inside.โ Zhou Ji instructed.
Xiong Ye hadnโt known that river mussels could be eaten like this. He was rather surprised as he picked up a stone and smashed the shell of the river mussel.
Zhou Ji: โ……โ
Although Xiong Yeโs method of killing the mussels was a bit simple and crude, it was very efficient. After a while, he extracted the meat from several mussel shells and washed them clean in a nearby bowl.
Zhou Ji glanced over, and then handed a piece of stone to Xiong Ye, โHelp me grind down this stone to make the middle a little flatter.โ
This stone was round, a little thicker around the edges and thinner in the middle. It looked a bit like a round plate.
Xiong Ye ground at it with another stone and asked, โZhou Ji, what are you grinding this for?โ
โMaking a pot.โ Zhou Ji said.
โIsnโt this pot too shallow?โ Xiong Ye asked. Such a flat pot couldnโt hold anything.
โA shallow pot has its own benefits.โ Zhou Ji spoke as he began to deal with the river mussel meat.
The river mussel meat was cut into small pieces and smashed with a stone a few times to make it more tender before being fried lightly with oil. He then added water to make river mussel soup.
In fact, fried mussels were also delicious on their own, but it was best if there was pepper, onion, garlic, or other such seasonings when they were fried. If they were fried with nothing but salt, the taste certainly wouldnโt be ideal.
The river mussel soup smelled particularly fragrant. Xiong Ye who was busily grinding out a pot grew even hungrier…
Thankfully, the soup was soon ready.
Zhou Ji ate this soup with earth eggs. As for Xiong Ye, he only drank the soup.
River mussels basically didnโt have any meat at all. Xiong Ye gulped down a large bowl of soup and became even hungrier and greedier for meat…
โItโs time to eat!โ Xiong Heโs voice rang out, saying the words that the people of the tribe most liked to hear.
Xiong Ye immediately abandoned Zhou Ji and rushed outside.
Although they were eating grass every day, mealtime was still a very happy event!
When Xiong Ye returned from the meal, Zhou Ji asked him to continue polishing the flat stone pot. As for himself, he used a stone stick to crush some barley inside a stone bowl.
Nobody else had obtained any barley from the first batch of barley, but he had taken some… Of course, he had already finished with that barley. What he was using now was barley he had secretly produced with his own abilities.
โZhou Ji, what are you doing?โ Xiong Ye was puzzled as he watched Zhou Jiโs actionsโโZhou Ji was actually crushing the barley to bits!
The barley grains were already small, but now it was like a powder… How could this be eaten?
โIโm making barley flour. Iโll cook it for you tomorrow.โ Zhou Ji said.
He had been a little upset with Xiong Ye because of Yang Ying a few days ago and had messed around with Xiong Ye a bit because of it, but Xiong Ye had been so busy running here and there over the past few days that that bit of anger had dissipated a while ago. Seeing that Xiong Ye was just eating the things being cooked in the big pot down in the tribeโs valley every day, he felt quite bad and wanted to think of something nice for Xiong Ye to eat.
For example, barley flatbread.
Barley wasnโt suitable for making bread, but it could be used to make flatbread. The resulting flatbread was quite delicious.
Of course, both a pan and barley flour was required for flatbread.
When Xiong Ye heard that Zhou Ji was making food for him, he immediately became delighted.
Recently, not only had he been unable to catch prey, Zhou Ji hadnโt felt well and hadnโt cooked anything good to eat in a long time. Todayโs river mussel soup was a rare occurrence!
Tomorrowโs barley flatbread… Xiong Ye was already looking forward to it.
The next day, Xiong Ye was still unable to catch any prey.
Even so, his mood was very good as he went to Xiong He as Zhou Ji had suggested and told him that he wasnโt going to have dinner tonight but instead wanted a piece of smoked meat.
โI can give you and Zhou Ji a total of 2 kilos of meat.โ Xiong He took out a piece of meat for Xiong Ye.
โThank you, chief!โ Xiong Ye was excited as he rushed back to the cave in time to see Zhou Ji adding water to the barley powder.
The barley was originally yellow, but turned white after it had been ground into powder. After adding water and kneading it, it clumped up into a white mass.
Xiong Ye watched as Zhou Ji fiddled with that white clump and an impulse rose up in his heart. He wanted to pinch it…
Just as he was thinking that, Zhou Ji retrieved his hands, โYou do it.โ
He might as well have Xiong Ye do this kind of manual task while he started working on the filling… Zhou Ji brought out the pickled vegetables he had made after the salt team had returned. He used a stone knife to chop up both the smoked meat and pickled vegetables, then lightly fried them together.
This smoked meat was made from arthropleura meat. It didnโt have any of the strange odour that dinosaur meat had and just smelled like smoked meat. After adding pickled vegetables, it smelled even more fragrant.
Xiong Ye kneaded the dough vigorously, but when he smelled the scent of the frying meat and vegetables, his eyes immediately popped wide open as he looked over, โSmells so good!โ
Zhou Ji ignored him and pulled the dough over. He wrapped some of the dough around a bit of the filling, flattened it, then set it to the side.
โIs this barley flatbread?โ Xiong Ye picked up the prepared dough and looked at it curiously.
Zhou Ji said, โYes.โ He didnโt actually have experience making flatbread, but Xiong Ye had recently eaten nothing but a mixture of vegetables and earth eggs every day. He guessed that even if he gave him the worst tasting flatbread in the world to eat, Xiong Ye would still like it.
Zhou Jiโs craftsmanship was in fact very poor, but he came off as a master chef when compared to the primitive people of the tribe.
โThis dough is very cute.โ Xiong Ye flipped it around and inspected it, and after staring at it for a while, he took a bite. โItโs delicious! The filling inside is particularly tasty, but the barley outside isnโt very good.โ
Zhou Ji, who hadnโt been paying attention and therefore hadnโt been able to stop Xiong Ye from โmaking a moveโ: โ……โ
The filling had already been cooked, and he wouldnโt get sick eating the raw dough like this, but even so; Zhou Ji snatched back the uncooked flatbread from Xiong Yeโs hands, โThis flatbread isnโt finished yet!โ
Xiong Ye: โHow is it not finished?โ Itโs already so well done! It looks so cute!
Zhou Ji placed the uncooked flatbread into the pre-oiled โflat potโ: โIt hasnโt been cooked yet.โ
Xiong Ye: โ……โ
Xiong Ye had no idea that this thing still needed to be boiled.
No, it wasnโt being boiled… Zhou Ji had added a bit of oil to the pot, and then placed the flatbread on top… After that, a very fragrant scent wafted out!
It was really particularly fragrant!
Xiong Ye couldnโt help but swallow hard. His eyes were locked on the flatbread, and he couldnโt move his gaze away.
The flatbread that Xiong Ye had bitten into before was soon ready. Zhou Ji gave it to him, โEat.โ
Xiong Ye didnโt care how hot it was as he took a big bite. His eyes brightened and shone.
This flatbread was so, so delicious!
The previously raw flatbread had already been delicious, and after it was cooked… the barley skin was slightly crispy after being lightly fried, the cooked dough was a little chewy, and the taste of the filling was just right.
The earthy taste of the flatbread and the flavorful filling mixed together was simply incredible!
Xiong Ye finished it in a few bites and stared eagerly at the pan as he waited for the next one.
Zhou Ji made one; and Xiong Ye ate it. In the period of time that followed, he ate twenty in one go.
He wanted to share some with Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji didnโt want any with filling… Instead, he made himself plain flatbread and ate it slowly.
Making barley flatbread was very troublesome, so Zhou Ji simply made a big batch in one go and made a full forty pieces with filling. He gave twenty to Xiong Ye and planned to save the remaining twenty for Xiong Ye to have for breakfast tomorrow morning.
โCan I eat two more at night?โ Xiong Ye asked.
โOf course. The ones with filling are all yours.โ Zhou Ji said. Xiong Ye trained hard every night. If he was hungry, he should be able to eat whatever he wanted to!
Zhou Ji thought that Xiong Ye had asked because he wanted to eat them himself. Unexpectedly, that night when he picked up Xiong Ye to go and cultivate, Xiong Ye took out two flatbreads and handed them to him.
โMy lord, this is the flatbread my mate made. Itโs especially delicious. You should try it.โ Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji: โ… No need.โ
Xiong Ye felt somewhat at a loss as he placed the flatbread into his own mouth and turned into his animal form so that Zhou Ji could carry him.
Since this man didnโt want to eat it, he could only eat it himself… It was really tasty!
Xiong Ye truly knew how to share. The next day, he ate twelve of the remaining eighteen flatbread and split the last six between the priest, Xiong Qi, Xiong Bai, Xiong Mao, Niu Er, and the others. Everyone had half a flatbread.
When Zhou Ji woke up the next morning, he had reheated the flatbread in oil so that the flatbreads were still hot, fragrant, and delicious when they were distributed to the others.
The priest broke a tooth while eating it.
But he didnโt even care. Instead, he looked at Xiong Ye, โLittle brat, I taught you so many things, but you only gave me half of one. Do you still want to live?โ
The priestโs speech had always been a little full of holes, but now it was even more obvious.
Xiong Ye: โGrandpa Priest…โ
โIs there any more?โ The priest pressed.
โNo.โ
โThen, can you make more?โ The priest continued asking. This flatbread was really too delicious!
โThereโs no more barley, so it canโt be made.โ Xiong Ye replied. He had seen that Zhou Jiโs barley had been used up.
โThis was made with barley?โ The priest looked at Xiong Ye in surprise.
Xiong Ye nodded, then watched as the priest practically flew as he ran off, โIโm going to go look after the barley!โ
Xiong Ye suddenly also had the urge to look after the barley!
It was a little strange, but the amount of meat in this flatbread was really quite limited. Even so, eating it was very satisfying, particularly satisfying!
Xiong Ye suddenly had the energy to work!
However, there was only one such good day.
That night, he had no choice but to eat the mixture of earth eggs and vegetables again.
At first, everyone except for Xiong Ye and a small number of people were able to accept this hodgepodge of food, Now, however… A lot of people were starting to crave meat!
However, Xiong He was concerned about not having enough food to eat in the future and was reluctant to take out the smoked meat for everyone to eat as much as they liked.
Unable to eat large amounts of meat, the young people in the tribe could only continue to drool as they continued to raise those little dinosaurs.
Xiong Ye, who cultivated at night and hunted during the day, and also occasionally got pulled into study sessions by Zhou Ji when he had spare time, also dreamed about eating meat when he slept.
And this was when the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe finally managed to get a hold of quite a few dinosaurs.
Juurensha: โฆ.theyโre going to gobble up all those dinosaurs, arenโt they?
xiin: and that was when, the Big Bear Tribe knew that they… would have lots of meat to eat!
LMAO! To think that the Giant Tiger’s plan would end up filling the hungry Bear Tribe’s bellies instead! Come over quick, o’dinosaurs~ Our XY already can’t wait for his meat to come lols.

7Haha he always loved the food ZJ gives him, this seems like the saying, “nobody knows who he works for” they’re going to bring them food. Thank you for the translation
‘The priestโs speech had always been a little full of holes’ It could be hinting to the fact he Just lost another tooth, maybe? He is a little more toothless now.
Well, the big bear tribe must be happy, they’ll get Meat really soon.
Thanks for the chapter!
OMG there going to swarm the dino best’s because they are having a major craving for meat. Lol

Anyways I am excited to see what will happen next and how they are going to handle the wave of dinos and will they be having a fest by the end of the problem or are they going to have injured people and the grate tiger tribe going to obliterated by them, thougI i dought that’s going to happen with ZJ there. After all he promised that he would protect his mate.
Ahahaha…
Poor Tiger Tribe.
They would think they’re setting a trap for the Bear Tribe, when in fact they were actually feeding them ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Haha how nice of the Giant Tiger Tribe. Food delivery service.
Even when Shi Li recalled that the Tigers set against the tribes of dinosaurs, thought that the bears will be happy. During the last two chapters, she simply imagined how sad bears suddenly see a dinosaur, which, in theory, were supposed to destroy them, and spewing saliva rush at fresh meat.
I even felt sorry for the tigers. A little bit.
OMG! This sounds likes “…then, the fire nation attacked.” kind of moment. ๐๐
Beast men owwww ahhhhhhh we’re starving need meat ๐๐๐ tiger tribe send the dinosaurs..
Beat men look its meat Omg meat beast men: the beast god had mercy on us and sent us food!! All hail the beast god….
Beast men: Thank the beast god.
Zx: Huh [โข.โขเธด]
If only Shi Li can watch all these live on his cell hehehe
The way all these dinosaurs are about to die. They will be descended upon and EATEN…
