Chapter 68 – Dinosaurs Are Coming
The place that had originally belonged to the Green Hill Tribe was now full of people from the Giant Tiger Tribe. Early in the morning, they all gathered together to eat big mouthful after big mouthful of meat.
The people of the Green Hill Tribe hadn’t all died. Some had survived, but these people had all ended up suffering from hunger and beatings and had become slaves for the Giant Tiger Tribe. Their faces were completely expressionless and numb as they served the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe.
One of the youths from the Green Hill Tribe was a little slow at roasting meat and was immediately kicked by a man from the Giant Tiger Tribe who was next to him, “You’re so slow at doing things. Be careful, or I’ll kill you.”
The youth was injured and starving, unable to climb back up for a long time after being kicked to the ground. As a result, a foot stepped on his neck and trampled him down further, “You’re a waste of food!”
The person used some force and trampled the youth under his foot to death.
The Giant Tiger Tribe wasn’t short on slaves, and slaves who didn’t do a good job were a waste of food. They would generally be killed on the spot.
This kind of act also served to make the remaining slaves more obedient––the rest of the slaves who were roasting meat didn’t dare to slack off at all.
This killing scene didn’t affect the appetite of the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe at all as they continued to enthusiastically eat meat.
And at the head position above everyone else, there was a saber-toothed tiger that was much, much bigger than an ordinary tiger sitting there eating a large piece of roasted meat.
The Giant Tiger Tribe’s tribal chief Hu Tian liked to live in his animal form. This was especially the case after his animal form grew larger and larger.
Although not very many people had awakened as a saber-toothed tiger in the Giant Tiger Tribe in the past, there would still be one or two of them in the entire tribe. With their improved quality of life, they now had five or six people who had awakened as saber-toothed tigers.
Originally, although Hu Tian’s animal form was a little larger than the other saber-toothed tigers, there hadn’t been a significant difference. At some unknown point in time though, Hu Tian’s animal form had actually become bigger, and now he was at least double his previous size!
Other saber-tooth tigers weighed at most about four hundred kilograms, but Hu Tian was now a full eight hundred kilograms!
He also had sharp teeth and claws… The Giant Tiger Tribe had come so far, but they had never encountered any beastman that Hu Tian was unable to deal with!
Hu Tian ate around thirty kilograms of meat in one go before turning back into his human form.
He sat down in a large chair, exposing his magnificent body, and asked, “Have all the big dinosaurs in the territory all been gathered together?”
“Yes, chief!” He received an answer immediately.
“What kind of dinosaurs?” Hu Tian asked.
“There’s a Carcharodontosaurus, three Carnotaurus, two Barosaurus, and some other dinosaurs. They’ve already been slowly drawn to the area near the Big Bear Tribe.” That person said.
Carcharodontosaurus was a very ferocious predator. It had sharp teeth and a powerful body that could reach up to twelve meters long at adulthood. As for the Carnotaurus, this type of dinosaur was smaller than the Carcharodontosaurus but was similarly ferocious. It could reach up to eight meters in length, had powerful hind limbs, small forelimbs, and a big head. Of course, these two types of dinosaurs still weren’t as big as the Barosaurus that could reach a full twenty eight meters in length!
Therefore, after they took over a territory, they would find a way to lead these dinosaurs out of the places they had taken over and send them off to cause trouble in other places.
“Not bad. Keep an eye on the situation. When it’s about time, toss down those herbs in the place where the Big Bear Tribe lives.” Hu Tian instructed.
He had heard from the Green Hill Tribe that the people of the Big Bear Tribe lived in a valley and could withstand many attacks.
But if these large beasts led some smaller beasts and rushed over in a stampede… He refused to believe that the Big Bear Tribe could block them all!
Not only did Hu Tian feel this way, the other people of the Giant Tiger Tribe also thought the same.
Under the ‘guidance’ of the people from the Giant Tiger Tribe, in a place about a day’s journey from the Big Bear Tribe, a group of huge dinosaurs began to run in a certain direction.
When these dinosaurs ran, the smaller dinosaurs in front of them would panic and flee ahead of them, so there was eventually a large group of dinosaurs all running together in the same direction.
The small ones were in front while the bigger ones chased from behind; it was a magnificent scene!
In the meantime, the Big Bear Tribe was preparing to go out hunting again.
Xiong Ye led the people of the Little Brook Tribe out of the tribe, sighing as he walked.
Zhou Ji knew why he was acting like this––they most likely wouldn’t be able to catch any prey today.
Look at them, they were going out without holding any weapons. Instead, they were each carrying a basket!
The weather was now very hot, and many fruits were ripe. In the past, the people of the tribe would only gather the fruit from the area near their home as they were more likely to bump into dinosaurs when they travelled further out. Those places would have nothing left for them to collect anyway––dinosaurs had very big appetites and could even eat all the fruit off of a giant tree in a single day!
However, now that there were no more dinosaurs… They could casually find any tree and fill up several baskets with fruit, practically finishing their task.
Xiong Ye loved to eat meat, but the area near the tribe simply had no meat. In addition, there hadn’t been any shortage of food in the tribe recently, so he wasn’t required to travel too far out to hunt… Zhou Ji rubbed his nose as he began to consider this problem.
Perhaps… He could bring Xiong Ye a little further out tonight and let Xiong Ye hunt prey from somewhere else?
Of course, that was something to do at night.
Zhou Ji glanced at the people of the tribe who liked to draw circles on their own faces and who now had either circles or other things drawn on their cheeks, and silently returned to their cave.
Since he now had something to do at night, he should have a proper rest during the day.
In any case, he couldn’t help out with much else.
While Zhou Ji was sleeping in the cave, Xiong Ye had already gathered up sufficient fruit.
Things like fruits and wild vegetables would be wasted if too much was picked. Seeing that everyone’s baskets were full, Xiong Ye stopped everyone from continuing to gather more, then said, “Let’s go dig a pond.”
Before, when Xiong Ye had been worried about hunting, Zhou Ji had suggested that he dig out traps. However, those traps had been dug in vain.
This made Xiong Ye lose interest in digging traps until one day, while they were digging and digging to create another trap, he somehow dug out water!
Xiong Ye was shocked and instantly went to find Zhou Ji to ask him the reason behind such a thing. Zhou Ji had then told him that there was water under the ground, and if they dug out a larger, deeper pit, water would collect within it.
Zhou Ji had even said that they could dig out a pond this way and raise some fish.
Fish could be raised! Xiong Ye was immediately interested!
Recently, regardless of whether it was raising the small dinosaurs or taking care of the barley and earth eggs, everything had been proceeding smoothly on the right track. Xiong Ye didn’t have much to do, so he simply led the people assigned to him to continue digging a pond.
“We definitely have to dig out a very big pond and raise a lot of fish!” Xiong Ye swallowed his saliva. Even if there was no dinosaur meat, he could at least enjoy the fish that he liked.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe and the Little Brook Tribe all made sounds of agreement before committing themselves to the work.
Fish was also meat! They wanted to eat meat!
While the people of the Big Bear Tribe were busy, Xiang Tian had finally released Shi Li from the dungeon.
Shi Li had finally capitulated to Xiang Tian and was willing to teach him the method for cultivation.
Of course, he wasn’t doing this in earnest. He also didn’t plan to give Xiang Tian the real cultivation method… He had decided to teach Xiang Tian some incorrect methods.
When Shi Li finally emerged from the dungeon and was able to see the sun outside, he had a feeling of being able to live again.
The Beast God had given him a chance at living his life again. He originally should have become the most powerful person, but he hadn’t expected to run into Xiang Tian…
Shi Li cursed, and his mood immediately deteriorated.
However, he soon adjusted his mood.
Xiang Tian would die sooner or later. As long as he was able to hold on until Xiang Tian died, he would be free!
Staying with the Elephant Tribe was actually better than staying at the Big Bear Tribe.
After all, it wouldn’t be long before the Big Bear Tribe suffered a dinosaur attack.
Some huge dinosaurs would come to the Big Bear Tribe’s territory and attack the people of the Big Bear Tribe. Finally, a lot of people from the tribe would die…
Thinking about how he was better off than others, Shi Li immediately became happy again.
But at the same time, he was still a bit depressed––he had come into contact with big tribes like the Elephant Tribe in his previous life, but now… Why weren’t these people’s lives as good as what he remembered?
Even just talking about the food… Didn’t these people know how to make flatbread? They were simply frying the barley with the shells still on, and then giving it to him to eat after they had been cooked.
He had drunk tea made with such barley at the Beast God Temple, but he hadn’t tried to eat it directly as food!
The Elephant Tribe must be looking down on him and tormenting him on purpose, right?
Shi Li hatefully stuffed the shelled barley into his mouth and chewed at it fiercely.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t even eaten barley before… His current life could still be considered pretty good.
The Big Bear Tribe was about to end up eaten by dinosaurs! When Shi Li thought of that, he felt comfortable again.
In the area near the Big Bear Tribe, Xiong Ye had brought people over to dig out a pond. They were halfway done when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There was a faint tremor in the earth, and some scents travelled over from a distance…
Xiiong Ye frowned as he looked towards a certain direction. Someone in the tribe who was good at climbing trees climbed up into a tree nearby to check out the situation in the distance!
That man turned into his animal form and ran up to the top of the tree in order to see the situation clearly. After climbing back down, he looked at Xiong Ye with a face full of excitement, “Xiong Ye, those dinosaurs are back! They’re back!” Based on what he had seen just now… A lot of dinosaurs had come back together!
The man was full of excitement. Seeing him like this, Xiong Ye also climbed up onto a tree to see. The disturbance in the distance really wasn’t small, and the heads of some long-necked dinosaurs could be seen poking out through the canopy.
These dinosaurs were all running towards them!
What big dinosaurs!
Xiong Ye couldn’t help swallowing hard. The people around him also climbed up onto the trees and swallowed back their saliva.
So much meat!
