Shi Li and Xiong Qi were fighting for quite a few reasons.

The original cause for the fight was Lang Yin.

It was a normal occurrence in the tribe for a woman to have two suitors, and having these two suitors fight in order to determine who had the right to be with her was also very normal. In fact, there were also cases where two women would fight over a man.

Xiong Qi had long been interested in Lang Yin, and it was natural for him to be angry now that he had been preempted by Shi Li.

However, Lang Yin had already invited Shi Li to live in her cave, and even if Xiong Qi won, it would be a pointless fight. Adding on the fact that he had been injured while trading for salt, Xiong Qi hadn’t gone to make any trouble for Shi Li until they started interacting more over the past few days.

After the salt team had returned, Xiong He divided the warriors into two groups whenever they went out to hunt. One group would be led by him, while the other was led by Xiong Qi.

Xiong He had been cultivating Xiong Ye, so Xiong Ye was always in his team. Since Xiong Ye and Shi Li’s relationship had turned sour, Shi Li had been assigned to Xiong Qi’s team.

Shi Li and Lang Yin had been assigned to Xiong Qi’s team together. While in front of Lang Yin, Xiong Qi hadn’t done anything excessive to Shi Li, but he had definitely arranged for Shi Li to do more of the hard work or sent Shi Li to be the main attacker when they went after prey.

And Xiong Qi even had a good reason for doing so–he was still injured, and Shi Li, as someone who had a strong and powerful animal form, was naturally expected to do more.

If it had been Xiong Ye who had been given these arrangements, he would’ve been very happy. After all, this gave him more opportunities to practice. But Shi Li wasn’t Xiong Ye.

Several days after his rebirth, Shi Li realized that he had been wrong at the start. He eventually decided to be with Lang Yin properly and began to try harder to adapt to the life he had today. He participated in every hunt, but at the end of the day, he was already different. For example, he was already unable to make himself use his mouth to tear at the neck of their prey.

How dirty and disgusting were those dinosaurs’ bodies?

Unfortunately, for male lions, the most powerful weapon he had was his teeth.

Before, when Xiong Qi wasn’t the one leading the team, Shi Li would rarely make a move himself while using the excuse of guiding and teaching others on how to catch prey. Nobody felt that it was strange, and some even felt that Shi Li knew a lot and was very amazing. However, now that Xiong Qi was here, he had no chance to guide others at all.

During the hunt, the conflict between the two sides inevitably became even more serious.

Shi Li felt that Xiong Qi, who was already doomed to die early in his mind because he had no impression of him from his previous life, was deliberately making trouble for him and was truly abhorrent. He really wished he could kill Xiong Qi, while Xiong Qi felt that Shi Li had no true ability and was wasting his strong animal form since he was unable to catch any prey.

There was a rule in the tribe that they weren’t allowed to fight amongst themselves during the hunt, and they weren’t allowed to fight outside the tribal grounds. However, when they returned to the tribe today, neither of them could hold back anymore. They first had a verbal quarrel, and then they began to fight!

“Xiong Qi put Shi Li in charge of intercepting that Heterodontosaurus today, and Shi Li was clearly capable of catching it, but he ended up letting the prey escape. It’s no wonder Xiong Qi is so angry.”
