Even if Kumano turned into a beast, carrying such a thick tree home would be quite tiring, but probably because he was happy, he didn't feel tired.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ji still proposed to take a break.
Kumano put down the tree and turned into a human figure, and immediately said: "Zhou Ji, you will come out alone in the future, don't run so far, it is very dangerous outside!"
He suddenly thought of this when he was carrying a tree before. At that time, he became a beast and couldn't speak, so he could only hold it back until now.
Although there are no large carnivorous dinosaurs near their tribe, Zhou Ji, a person who can't even change the shape of a beast, is really dangerous to go out alone!
Before, Kumano always thought that Zhou Ji was so relieved when he picked plants at the place where the collection team was active, but now it seems that it is not at all.
Zhou Ji ran so far!
Zhou Ji was stunned for a moment - Kumano was so unexpectedly transformed, and he didn't even wear an animal skin skirt!
Seeing that Zhou Ji didn't speak, Kumano was worried that he would be unhappy about taking care of Zhou Ji too much, and said: "In the future, if you want to come to a farther place, I will bring you when there is no group hunting." His partner, naturally Protect yourself!
Zhou Ji recovered, looked away and smiled: "Okay."
Your partner is so obedient! Kumano looked at Zhou Ji happily - after walking in the forest for a long time, Zhou Ji still looks clean, so beautiful!
Xiong Ye found a topic to talk to his future partner: "Zhou Ji, you are not stupid at all, why didn't you leave the cave before?" Before Zhou Ji's mother died, he didn't see Zhou Ji very much.
Zhou Ji had already thought of a reason for herself, and heard the words: "I used to be really stupid, I didn't think about doing anything every day, I just knew how to lie down... Later, my mother died, and I was alone. Staying in the cave, I almost starved to death, only to wake up suddenly."
"So it is." Kumano was stunned.
"The first person I saw after I woke up was you, you are different to me." Zhou Ji smiled. At that time, he had supernatural powers in his hands, but he had no seeds, so he dragged his dying body and crawled out of the cave to find food. As a result, before he could find anything to eat, he was found by Xiong Ye, who came to Shi Li. , and the dinosaur meat that Kumano had stuffed into his mouth.
The taste is really bad.
Zhou Ji kept looking at Kumano when he spoke, and Kumano's heart beat faster when he saw him.
The first time Zhou Ji saw him, did he think he was special? Did Zhou Ji fall in love with him long ago
Kumano is in a better mood.
Seeing Xiong Ye like this, Zhou Ji added, "I was really happy after you let me live in your cave." The collective living cave... There is no one living there at all!
Kumano's heart beat faster: "Zhou Ji... um... I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked me at that time..." Zhou Ji was definitely happy to live in his cave because he liked him.
Zhou Ji felt that he was abducting a simple little boy, and he had to admit that he liked Kumano's reaction.
He finds it hard to fall in love with someone, but it's really nice to have a partner like that.
Xiong Ye blushed for a while, and then he came over and went to talk to Zhou Ji again: "Zhou Ji, it's a pity that you didn't wake up until you were so old. If you woke up earlier, you would definitely be able to wake up to the shape of a beast."
Even if some people's awakened beast shape is very weak, the beast shape is not completely useless, at least it is better than not awakening.
He remembered that after he woke up at the age of ten, his various senses had improved a lot, and the whole world was different in his eyes, and so were other people.
It's such a pity that Zhou Ji didn't wake up!
If he can wake up, even if he wakes up to become a little mouse, he can have more skills. For example, a mole has a very keen sense of smell.
"Maybe I can wake up later." Zhou Ji said. He has studied his body, which is actually no different from other orcs in the tribe, so it should also be able to transform into a beast.
It is because he has no interest in becoming a beast that he has never changed.
But now... when is he free, maybe he can change and see what breed he is
"If only you could wake up, maybe you will awaken into a cat." Xiong Ye has some expectations - Zhou Ji's lazy appearance is very similar to Mao Jin, maybe he will awaken into a cat like Mao Jin.
If Zhou Ji can awaken into a cat, a small one lying in his hand... He must kiss him.
"I will wake up in the future." Zhou Ji said, there are all kinds of mammals in this world, and he was a little worried when Kumano said this.
If this bodily awakened animal is bad...
He first transforms himself to see what he is, and then decides whether to let Kumano know.
If the shape of the beast is good, you can pretend that he has suddenly awakened. If the shape of the beast is bad, then it is better to assume that he has not awakened.
After the two rested for a while, Kumano stood up and said, "Let's go!" Go back early so that you can make a bucket.
"Okay." Zhou Ji nodded.
Xiong Ye said again: "You walk in front of me." Zhou Ji walked behind. If he accidentally walked too fast, Zhou Ji might not be able to keep up, so he might as well let Zhou Ji walk in front.
Zhou Ji agreed with a smile, and then saw Xiongye transformed into a beast, and he took up the huge log with all his might.
He began to think about giving Kumano a little reward.
Such a cute, hard-working bear, must be well cared for.
Zhou Ji walked forward at a speed just right for Kumano. While walking, he killed some unfriendly grasses on the side of the road, and drove away some messy animals.
He didn't want these things to hurt Kumano.
But to the animal-shaped Kumano, these things didn't seem to hurt him at all.
Although bears can stand, standing is very tiring for them. Kumano's so-called walking with wood is actually using one front paw to fix the wood, and then the other three paws are used for walking.
After walking like this for a while, his shoulders were a little sore, but he could bear it—he wanted to go back quickly.
Just thinking about it, Kumano saw Zhou Ji stop: "There are edible dishes here, I want to collect some."
Kumano turned into a human figure and immediately said, "I'll help you."
Zhou Ji didn't refuse, and then saw the bare-ass Xiong Ye go to pick vegetables.
This pose... is clearly a temptation.
Zhou Ji touched his nose, he came out with a simple basket made of branches - people in the tribe would do this.
However, since this basket is very simple and has many "loopholes", people generally put some larger leaves in it first, and then use it to hold things.
Zhou Ji's basket was covered with leaves, and now he put the vegetables in the basket and carried them in his hands.
"Do you want me to get it for you?" Kumano asked.
"No." Zhou Ji said.
The vegetables didn't have much weight, so Kumano didn't insist. He changed into a beast shape again, put a front paw on the wood on his back, and continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ji stopped again, pointed to a bird's nest on a nearby tree and said, "Yesterday's dinosaur eggs were delicious, and bird eggs should be delicious too."
Kumano once again turned into a humanoid: "Bird eggs are better than dinosaur eggs, I'll get them for you."
Kumano said, and started climbing trees without wearing an animal skin skirt.
Some bears are very good at climbing trees, but Kumano's animal shape is too big to climb trees, but this does not affect him digging out bird eggs.
He can climb trees in human form!
Zhou Ji under the tree: It's really unobstructed!
After a while, Kumano came down with three eggs that were a little smaller than the eggs: "There are six eggs in total, and I took half of them."
"Well." Zhou Ji smiled at him, put the three eggs in his basket, and praised: "Kumano, you are really amazing."
After flexing his muscles and bones, Kumano, who was praised, happily continued to carry the wood.
After walking for a while... Zhou Ji has something to do again.
Along the way, the two stopped five times in succession to collect some miscellaneous things.
Kumano has a good temper, he didn't feel impatient at all, but he was quite happy that Zhou Ji asked him to help with something, and he was enjoying himself in the water.
It's really a little bear with vitality... Zhou Ji returned to the tribe with a huge brown bear.
When they came back, it was almost dark, and the people in the tribe had already lit the fire and gathered together to prepare for dinner.
It can't be said to be dinner... People in the tribe often eat this meal a day, sleep well after eating, and then continue hunting the next day.
Now Zhou Ji came back with Kumano, and everyone saw it.
"What a big tree."
"Why did Kumano bring a tree back?"
"Let's do something... Did you see it? There are beehives and crocodiles on the trees!"
"Kumano is amazing."
"Zhou Ji and Kumano are together, they really don't have to worry about eating and drinking!"
…
Everyone looked at Kumano enviously, but couldn't help but be jealous of Zhou Ji.
There are also some people who are relatively weak in their own strength, regretting that they didn't think of a way to win Kumano earlier.
As long as you don't go hungry all your life, it doesn't matter if you become a partner with Kumano! Originally, they were relatively weak, so they might not have children.
"Brother Kumano." The children in the tribe ran out and greeted Kumano.
Kumano wanted to change into a human form to talk to them, but was stopped by Zhou Ji who discovered it in advance: "Put things away first, then come down." It's okay to change when it's only the two of them, so don't wear clothes at this time. things are up!
Kumano nodded. He first brought the wood to the front of his house and put it away, and then entered the cave and turned into a human figure, and Zhou Ji handed over a animal skin skirt at the right time.
Zhou Ji said: "We open the honeycomb, leave some, and send the rest to the priest."
Kumano nodded, opened the honeycomb immediately, put a lot of honey in the eggshell of the dinosaur egg that he ate in the morning, and put out some bee pupae in the stone bowl.
Zhou Ji is not interested in bee pupae, but Kumano wants to eat... Then eat it.
After leaving enough honey, Kumano took the remaining honeycomb and took Zhou Ji to the priest's cave.
The cave where the priest lives is similar to the cave where Kumano lives, but there are various kinds of utensils inside, and there are more utensils made of stone or wood.
But Zhou Ji didn't feel envious at all.
The priest's cave exuded an old-fashioned smell, which was not pleasing at all, but Kumano's smell was better.
"Kumano, why are you here?" the priest asked with a smile, then sniffed again: "Honey?"
"Grandpa Priest, I got a honeycomb and gave you some." Kumano said.
The priest was very happy: "It's really good, do you have anything you want? I can exchange it for you."
"Sacrificing grandpa, the companionship ceremony in two days..." Kumano scratched the back of his head.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you think of the most beautiful companionship ceremony." The priest immediately said, this request was mentioned before when Kumano and Shi Li wanted to form a partner. Now... He should help Kumano think better. .
When Kumano heard the priest say this, he was very happy: "Thank you, Grandpa Priest."
The priest looked at him kindly and took out another small bowl: "This is for you."
"What is this?" Kumano was curious, but after Zhou Ji looked at it, he found that there was a bowl of oil residue in the bowl.
Obviously, the priest went to boil dinosaur oil as he said.
"It's boiled with fat, it's very delicious. Those little guys wanted to eat it, I only gave them a taste, and now I'll give it to you." The priest gave the bowl to Xiong Ye and looked at Zhou Ji again: "I made a very delicious dinosaur egg according to what you said, and now I can't eat it."
As for being accidentally splashed with oil when doing it, and a little injury to my hand, there is no need to talk about it.
He must not be hurt next time!
Kumano ate a piece of oil residue, and he really liked it, so he wanted to give Zhou Ji a taste, but Zhou Ji refused: "I don't like it, you can eat it."
After refusing to eat the oil residue, Zhou Ji looked at the priest again: "Grandpa priest, the oil boiled in this way can be stored for a long time."
"Really? I want to test it!" The priest was very surprised and said, "Zhou Ji, you have suddenly become very smart."
"Zhou Ji must have been blessed by the beast god." Kumano told the priest all the words Zhou Ji had fooled him during the day.
The priest believed the same as Kumano, and said to Zhou Ji: "It must be the beast god who is blessing you!"
Zhou Ji: "..." I'm sorry, he doesn't believe in beast gods...
He gave the beehive, which still contained a lot of bee pupae and some honey, to the priest, and Kumano peeled and cleaned the crocodile.
Then Zhou Ji saw those children cut the crocodile skin with stone knives, ready to eat it.
The crocodile skin that can be used as a bag is estimated to be very hungry
They came back with a lot of things from going out today, but they forgot to chop wood, so Kumano rubbed a collective fire in the mountain pass and roasted the whole crocodile.
Zhou Ji was reluctant to contact people in the tribe before, and seldom stayed in the mountains, but now it is much better... He sat next to Kumano and used his mental power to pay attention to the people around him.
This is the busiest time in the mountain.
The child born last year who can't walk is nestled in the mother's arms to feed on breast milk. Two men are confessing to Xiong Bai, and some people are bragging about their experience of going out hunting today, and some people are talking about Shi Li.
"Shi Li beat his mother and brother yesterday!"
"Why did he hit them suddenly?"
"I don't know, it must have been a quarrel."
"His mother and brother are not very likable."
"Shi Li is not likable now."
"I thought Shi Li was very powerful before, but now that I think about it, Kumano is more powerful."
"It was originally Kumano's greatness."
"I haven't seen Shi Li for a day today..."
…
Today, Shi Li didn't leave the cave for a day, and everyone didn't see him, but Xiong Qi, who hardly left the cave a few days ago, came out of the cave and leaned over to Xiong Ye's side: "Xiong Ye, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Kumano looked at Xiong Qi puzzled.
Xiong Qi said, "I'm happy that you defeated Shi Li."
Although Xiong Qi said this, his face was not happy at all, but full of forbearance pain. Kumano noticed this and asked worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"I may not be able to go hunting in the future." Xiong Qi gritted his teeth and said, indescribably lost. He used to be one of the strongest warriors in the tribe, but now... he may become a group cave. one member.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiong Ye was startled and asked quickly, while Zhou Ji immediately used his mental power to check Xiong Qi's body.
"My injury is a bit serious, I don't know if it can be cured." Xiong Qi endured the pain and said. He regrets it very much now. He shouldn't have fought with Shi Li with his injuries a few days ago. In the end, it doesn't matter if he loses, the injury has worsened.
Xiong Qi's injury is indeed a bit serious - his bones are broken and crooked.
In modern times, such a little injury is not a big deal at all. It is enough to bring the bones back, but in this era, no one should be able to straighten the bones
The doctor in the tribe, the kind priestly grandfather, only has some superficial means of treatment.
In this case, Xiong Qi's bones are crooked, and he is finished - there are people in the tribe who have broken their legs and become lame, so they can no longer participate in hunting and can only enter the gathering team.
Before the change, Zhou Ji would not care about this kind of thing.
Having experienced the end of the world, he doesn't like to care about other people's affairs. When he went out to collect, he helped to spawn some plants with supernatural powers, just as a reward for his living in the tribe.
but now…
There are very few strong fighting people in this tribe. The loss of such a person has a great impact on the tribe and also on Kumano - Kumano may have to hunt harder in the future to feed this large group of people.
Zhou Ji said: "Xiong Ye, didn't you learn medical skills from the priest? Would you like to show Xiong Qi?"
Kumano said immediately: "Okay."
Xiong Qi is also willing to let Xiong Ye see it for himself, he is now urgently ill and goes to the doctor: "I have seen the priest, oh... The priest said that I should take care of myself slowly, but these days... oh... I can't sleep because of the pain. "
Xiong Qi's broken bone was in his hip. He lay on the ground and turned his body to let Kumano see his injuries.
His fur is thick, and whether it was a tail slap by a dinosaur or repeated attacks by a lion, the wounds on the outside are not serious, and you will never know that his bones are broken just by looking at the outside.
Xiong Ye wanted to check it out, Zhou Ji said: "Kumano, don't we still have herbs? Go and get some." Kumano should not touch the wound in this place.
"Okay." Kumano nodded and went back to get the herbs.
After driving away Kumano who was going to touch someone's buttocks, Zhou Ji patted Xiong Qi's waist: "The herbs that Kumano picked are very effective, and you will be fine if you use them."
His shot was very natural, and no one suspected anything at all, but only Zhou Ji knew that he used his mental power to give Xiong Qi's bones just right.
After listening to Zhou Ji's words, Xiong Qi raised a hope, and he didn't know if it was because of this that he felt that his injured area didn't hurt so much, and at this time, Xiong Ye came down with some herbs.
On their way back today, they picked some herbs and put them all together. There are herbs that heal wounds and stop bleeding, as well as soothe the mind. There are even a few plants that contain more energy and are good for the body.
The last kind of Zhou Ji was meant to be kept for Xiong Ye. Of course, it was impossible for Xiong Qi. He first gave Xiong Qi some soothing herbs: "You chew it and eat it."
Let him eat this grass raw? Xiong Qi was a little puzzled, but he still chewed it obediently. After eating, he felt bitterness in his mouth, especially uncomfortable.
Xiong Ye looked at Xiong Qi sympathetically, this kind of grass Zhou Ji would also give him to eat, but he cooked it all, and now Xiong Qi wants to eat it raw... What a pity!
"Chew these yourself and apply them to the wound." Zhou Ji gave Xiong Qi a few more herbs to heal the wound.
"Oh..." Xiong Qi took it again, obediently doing as he did.
"Go back to sleep and you'll be fine." Zhou Ji said. Orcs have a very strong recovery ability. Although Xiong Qi has broken his bones, he should be fine after a few days of rest.
Unless he kills himself and fights with people.
Xiong Ye didn't know the inside story, of course he wasn't as optimistic as Zhou Ji, but he still comforted Xiong Qi: "Don't worry, you will be fine."
Xiong Qi didn't know that Kumano was just comforting himself. He felt that his wound was less painful, and he was very grateful to Kumano for a while.
He actually didn't like Kumano very much before. Kumano was very powerful, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the previous self was too inappropriate.
Kumano Ren is really good, knowing that he was injured and that he might be out of combat, but he was still so kind to him and gave him precious herbs.
He must repay Kumano in the future!
Xiong Qi thought so, and went back to sleep obediently, but when he walked back to the cave, his body was not as crooked as it was at the beginning.
Kumano didn't notice this, scratched his hair and looked at Zhou Ji: "Zhou Ji, let's eat meat."
"I don't want to eat." Zhou Ji said.
"Crocodile meat is delicious, really!" Kumano reassured and took a big bite to show Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji saw that he was eating deliciously, but he was also interested in trying it. After tasting it, he thought it was acceptable, so he ate a little more.
Kumano was very happy to see this.
Those who saw this scene were a little bit sour - how could Zhou Ji's life be so good!
How come no one gave them food to eat, and they persuaded them to eat it if they didn't eat it
Some people were jealous, and even jumped out and said to Kumano: "Kumano, I have always liked you very much, and I am willing to become a partner with you..."
"I already have a partner." Kumano said, he knew the person in front of him. This person was still pursuing a woman in the tribe!
"I'm better than Zhou Ji, so I must be more suitable for you." The man said again.
"I like Zhou Ji." Kumano said, looking at Zhou Ji again: "Zhou Ji, you are the best in my eyes."
Zhou Ji laughed.
Seeing him smile, Kumano couldn't help but praise again: "You are really good, you cook delicious food, and you look good." He didn't know what to praise, but he could only praise you for being good-looking!
Zhou Ji: "..." Okay, I didn't expect Kumano to look at his face.
After eating the crocodile meat, the two went back to the cave.
According to Zhou Ji's request, Kumano cut a section from the thick log and started digging the bucket with a stone knife.
This wood is very hard, and the stone knife is not easy to use. He also turned into a beast and grabbed it with his own claws... Unfortunately, the effect is not so good.
Zhou Ji smiled, went to "sleep" first, and used his mental power to help Kumano a little by the way.
Seeing that Zhou Ji was asleep, Kumano immediately lightened the movement of his hands, and then he didn't know what was going on, but his digging speed became faster.
He was too impatient at first, and it seemed that the wood was about to be dug slowly.
It's not difficult to dig a bucket. Kumano dug it for more than an hour. He went to the mountain to wash the bucket, filled it with water and carried it back to the cave before going to sleep.
Seeing that he was asleep, Zhou Ji once again attracted the surrounding energy into his body.
Kumano has done a lot of work today, and he slept late. If he doesn't do this, he might lose his energy tomorrow.
The next day, Kumano regained his usual energy.
He feels that he is in good spirits and has a lot of energy recently... Having a family and someone taking care of him is really different.
Don't say anything else, just say what to eat. He used to eat nothing in the morning, now what? Zhou Ji scrambled bee pupae with bird eggs for him to eat today!
It's so fragrant and delicious! It's just that Zhou Ji doesn't like to eat bee pupae, only eggs.
Satisfied with food and drink, Kumano left the cave to gather at the col—today we are going to hunt together again.
When Xiong Ye went down, there were not many people in the col, and he was about to loosen his muscles and bones when he suddenly heard Xiong Qi's voice: "Xiong Ye!"
Kumano turned his head and saw Xiong Qi walking towards him excitedly, with red eyes and open his hands to hug him: "Kumano, thank you..."
Kumano avoided without thinking.
