C50 - Eating Meat

The people of the tribe weren’t thinking as deeply as Zhou Ji was. They were currently far too happy.

Even though they had seen that giant beast yesterday, and some of them had been scared enough to wet their pants, seeing the huge amount of meat there was now, they were all immediately overjoyed.

They had never seen so much meat before in their lives. More importantly… there was even more meat in the distance, all over the mountains and plains!

The warriors of the tribe had already gone out to bring meat back once, and after setting it down they had gone out to get more right away. As for the weak and elderly of the tribe, they had begun to process the meat.

Many of the bodies that had been brought back were incomplete. The tribespeople simply cut them apart, setting aside the larger pieces of meat while tossing the smaller bits and pieces into a pot to boil.

The big stone pot in the tribe wasn’t big enough, so everyone brought out the small pots they had in their caves. Some people even went out to bring back some large leaves that they then wrapped around the meat and placed in the fire to roast.

The tribe was suffused with… A very unpleasant smell.

At the very least, Zhou Ji did not find it pleasant.

Of course, Xiong Ye didn’t feel this way. After tossing about for so long, Xiong Ye had been starving since a while ago. Normally, Zhou Ji would have prepared food for him to eat by this time, but Zhou Ji currently looked so pale and obviously couldn’t make anything.

Xiong Ye dragged his injured leg behind him as he went to the entrance to his cave and called down, “Xiong Mao!”

It was likely because Xiong Ye had cuddled Xiong Mao for a while during the Beast God Sacrifice, but Xiong Mao had constantly hung around closely to Xiong Ye over the past few days. Xiong Ye had also become much more familiar with Xiong Mao.

“Elder brother.” Xiong Mao scrambled over.

“Xiong Mao, do me a favor and help me roast this meat.” Xiong Ye said.

Xiong Bai had tossed down that piece of raw meat and then run off. Not only were the meat and blood mixed together in a nasty mess, it was also inedible…

“Alright!” Xiong Mao happily agreed.

That piece of meat looked to be around fifteen kilograms. Xiong Mao himself was only thirty or so kilograms, and before he awakened, he wouldn’t have been able to bring that piece of meat down to roast it even if he could lift it up. Now, however, it was an easy matter for him to take the meat down right away.

Xiong Ye added, “Are there any edible grasses in the tribe? Bring me some of that too.”

“There is, there is!” Xiong Mao nodded several times and sped away.

Xiong Ye finally looked at Zhou Ji, “Zhou Ji, that piece of meat has been taken away. Don’t be scared.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Ji laughed despite himself.

“Did you come looking for me yesterday? Were you frightened?” Xiong Ye asked again.

Zhou Ji nodded. “That giant beast…”
