C21 - Fight

Xiong He took the warriors of the tribe with him and left to hunt very early in the morning.

They had caught very little prey yesterday and now that they had some injured people, the food that originally already hadn’t been enough was now even more scarce. They had to catch more prey today.

At the same time, the elderly and weak people from the tribe also spontaneously decided to go out gathering–even the warriors from the hunting team had only been allocated one or two kilograms of meat yesterday, and they had gotten even less. If they didn’t find a way to bring some food back today, they would have to go hungry.

Xiong Ye ate the roasted meat that Zhou Ji had cooked for him, then fed the soup Zhou Ji had boiled to Niu Er.

This soup was made up of chopped up elephant bird meat and vegetables and had been stewed for a long time. It was easy to digest and very nutritious.

Niu Er was still in bad condition and couldn’t speak much, falling asleep as soon as he finished eating. Xiong Ye saw this and went off to catch fish after giving Zhou Ji a heads-up.

Zhou Ji also left the cave after Xiong Ye departed.

The atmosphere in the tribe had been very good a few days ago, but it was obviously depressed today. There were no smiles on the faces of the people still in the valley, and several of the children were crying.

The two dozen or so tribesmen who had died included both men and women, most of whom already had children. The children who were crying had lost their parents.

Life in this kind of primitive society was better than how it was during the apocalypse, but it was still full of danger. However, Zhou Ji had seen too much death already and couldn’t muster up many feelings about it.

“Wait.” Someone stopped Zhou Ji. He looked over and saw that it was Xiong Qi, the captain of the salt team.

Xiong Qi’s animal form was a white bear.

White bears were very big and were larger than many brown bears, but Xiong Ye’s animal form was that of a Kodiak bear that could be bigger than white bears after they had reached maturity.

Of course, the barely adult Xiong Ye still wasn’t as large as Xiong Qi at this stage, and his combat power was certainly a little worse than Xiong Qi’s.

Xiong Qi was more than a decade older than Xiong Ye, and ten years of additional combat experience didn’t count for nothing.

Zhou Ji stood still and looked at the other party.

“Who are you?” asked Xiong Qi.

“I am Zhou Ji, Zhou.” Zhou Ji said.

“It turns out you’re Zhou. So you actually look like this.” Xiong Qi looked at Zhou Ji curiously, then asked, “The priest said that Niu Er woke up. Is he alright?” He had seen Zhou Ji go to Xiong Ye’s cave last night after Xiong Ye had brought Niu Er back.

Zhou Ji replied, “He’s fine.”

Xiong Qi hadn’t had much contact with Zhou Ji before, so he didn’t have anything else to say. He nodded to Zhou Ji, then turned to leave.

Zhou Ji went outside and didn’t go to where the gathering team was. Instead, he went in another direction.

He wanted to gather some different plants; healing plants, seasoning plants, or anything delicious; they were all acceptable.

While Zhou Ji was collecting plants, Xiong Ye was busy catching fish.

After the weather warmed up, the fish in the river became more active, and there were fat and delicious fish eggs in the fish… Xiong Ye caught four in one go, then killed them by the river. He scraped off the scales, tossed away the intestines, and cleaned them before bringing them back.
