C5 - Doubts

The Scelidosaurus slowly gnawed on the plant in front of it, its spiked tail swaying leisurely behind its body.

Xiong Ye first changed back to human form and slowly snuck up to it before hiding himself again. By this time, Xiong Bai had already crept to the other side of the Scelidosaurus.

The two waited quietly for a while, then Xiong Bai abruptly fell down from a tree, giving the Scelidosaurus a scare.

The Scelidosaurus subconsciously ran to where Xiong Ye was hiding. Xiong Ye immediately shifted to his animal form and rushed out.

The Scelidosaurus was far slower than the bird-footed dinosaurs. It was already too late for it to run by the time it saw Xiong Ye. He first pinned the dinosaur down, and while it was still twisting its head and attempting to lash out with its tail, he forcefully shoved and tipped it over.

And then even before the Scelidosaurus could flip itself back over and escape, Hu Yue and Xiong Bai dashed over and attacked its exposed abdomen.

The three of them worked together and soon killed the Scelidosaurus.

The Scelidosaurus was over three meters long and weighed approximately two hundred kilograms. After removing the inedible scales and bones, it was still a good hundred kilograms.

It was inconvenient to directly bring such a big fellow back. The three of them simply tore apart the Scelidosaurus using their claws with practiced ease, then turned back into human form and split the meat up evenly. Xiong Ye and Hu Yue’s portion of the meat was of a slightly higher quality, while Xiong Bai’s was slightly inferior.

Xiong Bai was already very satisfied with this since she hadn’t contributed as much as Xiong Ye and Hu Yue to the hunt.

After dividing up the meat, they were left with only the bones and dinosaur skin–the Scelidosaurus’ skin was actually made up of scales, which couldn’t really be used, but the bones were useful if rather troublesome.

Xiong Ye: “I’ll take it if you guys don’t want it.”

Hu Yue: “Okay.”

Xiong Bai had even less of an opinion. She even said, “I can help you carry it!” She knew what Xiong Ye wanted to bring these bones back for; she had mooched meals from Xiong Ye before as a child.

“No need. I can handle it.” Xiong Ye said.

He wrapped his portion of the meat along with the bones in the Scelidosaurus’s skin with the bone spikes facing inwards, then turned back into his bear form, running back to the tribe with the large package of things piled on his back.

The smell of blood would attract carnivorous dinosaurs; they should return as quickly as possible!

Xiong Ye had changed back into his animal form, but Hu Yue and Xiong Bai stayed in their human forms. Hu Yue’s animal form wasn’t good at carrying things, and Xiong Bai stayed in human form to chat with Hu Yue.

It was still drizzling. The rain fell on Xiong Ye’s body, but it was unable to wash away the bloody smell that had sunk deep into his long fur. However, Xiong Ye actually liked this kind of bloody smell and didn’t mind at all.

When the three of them approached the tribe, others immediately noticed their group and turned envious one after another.

They had returned with meat!

For the people of the tribe, food was the most precious and important thing. Weren’t they all busy doing this and that every day just for a mouthful of meat and to ensure that they had enough to eat?
