Pentaceratops had big heads, but they weren’t very intelligent and had a bad temper. They were easy to provoke.

After observing the situation around the Pentaceratops for a while, the tribe abandoned the method they had used before of herding their prey with torches and finally chose to have someone provoke the Pentaceratops and lead it to the swamp instead.

Along the way, they switched out people several times. As soon as one set of people became tired, they would switch to the next group; the Pentaceratops was oblivious to the change and chased after them until it finally ran headlong into the swamp.

When the Pentaceratops wasn’t trapped in the swamp, its head with its many sharp horns was very lethal, and its thick hide and flesh made it difficult for the tribe to attack it, but when it was in the swamp, it could no longer move…

Xiong Ye brought people with him to chop up some wood and lay the pieces down on the swamp like a road. They attacked with weapons and claws and finally killed the Pentaceratops, cutting apart its body and dragging its meat out of the swamp piece by piece.

Xiong Ye was actively involved in the entire plan, and he participated in all kinds of work during the hunt.

It was also his first time hunting such large prey. He was very eager to learn and also carefully remembered every step of the entire process.

Xiong Ye was extremely immersed in his work and had no time to think about anything else, so when he took people to bring the Pentaceratops meat back to dry land, he subconsciously called out to Shi Li, “Shi…”

Xiong Ye called out the first half of his name, then his expression froze as he swallowed the rest back down into his stomach. Before, he would share the joy of every harvest with Shi Li, and Shi Li would also be by his side, but now… Shi Li had stayed away from him for the entire day.

Xiong He just so happened to have noticed Xiong Ye’s actions and said, “Young Ye, what’s wrong with you and Shi Li? Why did you two suddenly start fighting yesterday? Although he’s a little lazy, since you intend to spend your whole life together, you should be a little more lenient.”

“Uncle He, I know.” Xiong Ye responded. He was a little irritated as he clutched at his hair.

He didn’t want to tell everyone about the matter of Shi Li not wanting to become mates with him, so in everyone else’s eyes, it just looked like he had given Shi Li a beating yesterday…

This situation allowed Xiong Ye to let out a breath of relief. After all, he didn’t want everyone else to know that Shi Li didn’t want to be mates with him. Even so, the situation still left him worried about what to do next.

Shi Li… What exactly did he want?

While Xiong Ye was thinking about this, he subconsciously searched for Shi Li with his gaze.

Then, he saw that Shi Li was standing away from the crowd. There wasn’t even the slightest speck of swamp mud on his body as he spoke with Lang Yin.

Lang Yin was Xiong He’s daughter. She was a year older than him, and Lang Yin’s mother had been living with Xiong He ever since Lang Yin was born. Out of Xiong He’s five children, Lang Yin’s mother had given birth to three of them.

Of these three children, Lang Yin was the eldest, the most beautiful, and the one that Xiong He doted on the most.

At the end of the day, Xiong He was the tribal chief, and he was very powerful. Lang Yin’s mother’s strength wasn’t bad either, so Lang Yin had never gone hungry as she grew up. While Xiong Ye was in the river digging for crabs and snails to eat because he was starving, Lang Yin was by the riverside picking flowers and chasing butterflies.
