Chapter 76.2 – Hot Pot

Editors: apricot & juurensha

While Zhu Zhan was busy being depressed, Shi Li was also having dinner in the Elephant Tribe.

He had changed the cultivation method he gave to Xiang Tian and basically turned it upside down. Yet when Xiang Tian cultivated with it... It was actually still useful.

As a result, he was given much more freedom within the tribe.

He was quite clever and actually managed to get to know Xiang Tian’s daughter. He used the experience and insights gained from his previous life to coax the little girl... Fine, it wasn’t a little girl; Xiang Tian’s daughter was already twenty seven or twenty eight years old and had two children.

However, even if she was older, this person had been in a high position from childhood and never went out to hunt. Most of the things Shi Li told her were things she didn’t know, and after a while, she began to regard Shi Li as a knowledgeable person. Coupled with the fact that Shi Li was attractive... The two of them started sleeping together right away.

After experiencing getting spurned by Lang Yin, Shi Li was careful to please her and endeared himself to Xiang Tian’s daughter more and more. He was also able to obtain a lot of news about the world outside from her.

For example, he learned that the tribal chief of the Giant Pig Tribe had exiled his son because he was a blasphemer.

What blasphemer!? A few years later, the Beast God Temple would decree to everyone that blasphemers didn’t exist.

That had always been the case! Hadn’t they merely lost the use of their arms or legs due to injuries, or had them regrow crooked? How could that be considered blasphemy?

Shi Li felt a bit of sympathy for the Giant Pig Tribe’s tribal chief.

This was because the young chief that he had exiled was actually a very powerful person. Although he had broken his leg, he had actually still managed to become a high level Beast Warrior and had returned to the tribe.

And then, he killed his one hundred plus brothers one by one.

It was said that this person was a very righteous person. He had endured many hardships after his exile, then returned to learn that his women and children had all been killed. After that, he had gone mad.

Shi Li suddenly realized that he could pull some of these people who were at the low points of their lives over to his side now and cultivate his own power base...

However, he could only think about this plan and do nothing.

He had no way to leave the Elephant Tribe at all!

The people of the Elephant Tribe even treated him as a little boy toy that was kept by Xiang Tian’s daughter! His current identity was the same as the ornamental and pretty men and women he had kept in his previous life.

There was no need to discuss Shi Li’s current mood. Over in the Big Bear Tribe, Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had eaten enough.

“Gentlemen, we are already finished eating. If you don’t mind, you can eat something here.” Zhou Ji finally offered.

Zhu Zhan and the others really didn’t mind. They exchanged glances, then sat down to begin their feast.

Zhou Ji had already used the hot pot soup to cook a lot of meat, so the spiciness of the broth was much milder now. They had added some salt later on, so the level of saltiness was now just right.

When Zhou Ji ate it, he felt that it was a little tasteless, but Zhu Zhan and the others who had never had spicy food before thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

That meal of meat had been so satisfying! These chili peppers were definitely good things!

Zhu Zhan and the others spent some time reminiscing over the chili peppers.

But actually... The only reason they felt this way was because of the herbs that Xiong Ye had given Zhu Zhan. Previously, they had sapped away his strength but they had completely worn off by now. Additionally... Zhu Zhan’s leg was healed, so they would all naturally feel much more mentally relaxed.

Zhu Zhan woke up early in the morning and walked out of the cave. He smelled the same fragrant scent from yesterday emanating from a cave nearby.

Someone was cooking hot pot again!

“The Beast God’s messenger lives there.” The priest noticed Zhu Zhan’s expression and spoke up.

Zhou Ji had come to find him last night. He had asked him to find a way to invite Zhu Zhan to stay... This aligned with his own ideas perfectly!

“Is there really such a thing as a Beast God’s messenger in this world?” Zhu Zhan asked.

“Of course there is!”

“The Beast God Temple...”

The priest interrupted, “What does the Beast God Temple amount to? Have they ever seen miracles?” His own teacher had been driven out by the people of the Beast God Temple, so the priest didn’t have any goodwill towards the Beast God Temple.

Of course, more importantly, the Beast God Temple was very far away from them. Who would care about them?!

“You’re right, what does the Beast God Temple amount to, haha!” Zhu Zhan laughed loudly.

The children of the tribe had come to peek at him again.

They couldn’t help it, Zhu Zhan was too big!

However...

“Although he’s big, his animal form isn’t as big as big brother Xiong Ye’s!”

“Big brother Xiong Ye must be more powerful.”

“Let’s go and pick some fruit for big brother Xiong Ye...”

“In fact, there’s nothing good about being so big. It’s better to have a powerful animal form!”

......

After the children chattered amongst themselves, they all ran off.

Zhu Zhan: “......” His animal form was really powerful! Why did these people feel that his animal form wasn’t powerful?!

Zhu Zhan felt that these people from small tribes were really ignorant.

However, he soon discovered that... He was the one who was ignorant.

That Barosaurus had been so big, and he had believed that the tribe would have a lot of trouble preserving the meat, but he then saw these people begin to make smoked meat.

When he walked outside, he even saw large fields of barley!

“You grow barley, too?” Zhu Zhan was shocked. The tribes from the other side of the river didn’t have much barley.

“Of course.” The priest replied.

Zhu Zhan looked at the flourishing barley fields in front of him and said, “Barley is very good. It can be preserved for a long time even if it isn’t tasty.”

“Barley isn’t tasty?” The priest looked at Zhu Zhan in surprise, “You actually think that barley isn’t tasty?!”

“Barley is... tasty?” Zhu Zhan was muddled. This thing was really coarse when chewed. How was it delicious?

“How do you guys eat it?” The priest asked him.

“We heat it up by frying it.” Zhu Zhan said.

The priest looked at Zhu Zhan sympathetically, “Barley needs to be shelled, then crushed into powder. It’s then made into a flatbread and eaten that way. It’s especially tasty. Pickled vegetable and meat flatbread is even more delicious than yesterday’s hot pot.”

Zhu Zhan was really shocked this time. Could that really be the case?

Zhu Zhan wasn’t someone who attached importance to the taste of the food he ate, but after listening to the priest’s words and recalling the taste of the hot pot last night, he inevitably began to look forward to this flatbread.

“You guys... when do you eat these flatbreads?” Zhu Zhan asked.

“When the barley here matures.” The priest said, “We’ve already finished our tribe’s current store of barley.”

All the barley in their tribe had been eaten; that meant that many people in the tribe liked barley! That flatbread must really be very tasty!

Zhu Zhan wanted to try it even more.

In fact, the priest was also looking forward to it very much. He had only been able to eat half of a flatbread last time. Half!

Forget it, don’t think about it. They might as well go and look at something else!

So, Zhu Zhan was soon able to see a large stretch of earth eggs.

This Big Bear Tribe was really rich in resources! They had actually farmed so much land!

Of course, this kind of farm wasn’t particularly unusual to Zhu Zhan. However, immediately after that he saw the dinosaurs that were being raised as livestock.

The little dinosaurs had grown very fast. A period of time had already passed, and they were already quite big now.

They were all a little stupid, and... were quite easy to raise.

At first, some of the little dinosaurs would hit the fence or do other similar things, but they were unable to escape. As they grew up, they no longer tried to hit the fence and spent their days peacefully within the fence, eating and sleeping comfortably.

“These dinosaurs...” Zhu Zhan was a little dazed.

“We raised them.”

“You guys are already raising dinosaurs. Why did you have to go and catch that Barosaurus?” Zhu Zhan asked.

“Does your tribe ever complain about having too much meat?” The priest retorted.

Of course not... Only, this Big Bear Tribe was actually able to raise dinosaurs. They were really too amazing!

Zhu Zhan and his subordinates had originally kind of looked down on the tribes on this side of the wild forest. Now, however... they suddenly felt that they were the ignorant ones.

The people here had been able to cure their injuries, could use some unknown method to catch a Barosaurus, and even raised dinosaurs... They were much more impressive than the Giant Pig Tribe!

When he had woken up yesterday, Zhu Zhan and the others had planned to spend a few days resting in this tribe before going out to catch a few dinosaurs for them as thanks and then leaving this place. But now...

This tribe probably didn’t need them to catch dinosaurs for them at all.

Zhu Zhan felt a little restless and uncomfortable.

They had saved him, but he hadn’t repaid them for it.

Fortunately, at that moment, the priest suddenly looked towards him, “With the help of the Beast God, our tribe is becoming better and better... However, we still lack some things... Do you know of anything that’s available outside that we don’t have?”

Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then realized... There really was something!
