C33 - Misunderstanding

Shi Li felt that he had been rather unlucky today.

Last night, he had taken a fall. Although he hadn’t suffered any serious harm, he had still taken some slight injuries and wasn’t in good condition today. To make matters worse, he had just left the tribe with the hunting team when he was bitten on the heel by an insect.

His heel swelled up, and it was painful and itchy, making it difficult to walk, but none of the warriors in the hunting team paid him any heed. Xiong He was very calm when he said that this kind of wound from an insect bite would heal on its own in a few days.

He also knew that the insect bite would heal in a few days, but he felt really uncomfortable right now!

If Xiong Ye had been there, he would definitely carry him on his back and find him some medicinal herbs… When Shi Li thought of this, his heart sank again.

He used to feel that it was disgraceful to have Xiong Ye carry him on his back, but the current Xiong Ye would probably never carry him on his back ever again.

This was all that damned Zhou Ji’s fault!

Right now, Shi Li wanted to toss in the towel and refuse to contribute anymore, but many of the people in the tribe had reservations about him now, and he had to appease them properly.

After taking in a deep breath, Shi Li endured the discomfort in his foot and limped forward. Yet after walking for a while, he suddenly realized that something wasn’t right–why were there were so many random insects of all kinds buzzing around him?!

He didn’t know when, but at some point, many, many bugs had gathered near him. There were crawler bugs, flying insects, and a whole variety of other insects, and he had no way to get rid of them all.

Shi Li was about to go crazy, especially since he could see that there were no insects plaguing the other people around him.

After dusting Shi Li with the insect attracting pollen, Zhou Ji had then spread some pollen that repelled insects on everyone else in order to prevent the rest of the people from the tribe from being caught up in the mess.

This was good–Shi Li was the only one suffering.

At this point, Shi Li also realized that something was off about this situation. However, he really didn’t think that someone had plotted against him secretly. He only thought that he was very unlucky and had provoked something or inadvertently stepped on a plant that he shouldn’t have stepped on.

He didn’t believe that anyone would be able to plot against him without him realizing it.

The people in the tribe also thought so, “Shi Li, did you encounter some pollen that attracts insects?”

“Did you step on any particular plants when you left the tribal grounds?”

“Perhaps a certain kind of insect left some scent on you…”

……

The tribespeople looked at Shi Li sympathetically and then gave him another suggestion, “You should find a place to wash up. That should fix the problem.”

If Shi Li was able to find a place to wash himself, that would indeed be great. However, it just so happened that the place they had gone to hunt in today didn’t have a river!

Later, even though Shi Li was deliberately on guard against them, there were still some random bugs that rushed enthusiastically towards him. And when they finally came across a river, there was actually a group of alligators lying there on the riverbank!

Xiong Ye had been able to catch the alligator from before because it was on its own and relatively small. As for the alligators they saw today…

Dozens of alligators that were several meters long and able to swallow a person with one bite were all lounging together, filling up the river. At a time like this, only the brainless and incredibly thirsty dinosaurs would dare go near the river!
