Xiong Ye wanted to wash for a bit longer, but Zhou Ji quickly finished helping him scrub his hair, “Let’s go back.”

By the time the two of them arrived back at the tribe together, Xiong He and the rest had already returned.

Xiong He’s team had captured quite a lot of prey this time, but none of it was as big as the dinosaur that Xiong Ye had caught. Even so, everyone was very satisfied.

Today was a rare bumper harvest day, and everyone was very happy. Even those who were sad due to the deaths of those from the salt team had smiles on their faces.

Herds of herbivorous dinosaurs would flee in panic when they first saw a carnivorous dinosaur, but after the carnivorous dinosaur had hunted down one of their brethren and had begun to eat, the herbivorous dinosaurs would stop running and continue to calmly carry on grazing in the carnivorous dinosaur’s vicinity.

People in the Big Bear Tribe weren’t like this, but in this kind of environment, they also wouldn’t grieve over the dead for too long.

“Every warrior will be able to get tens of kilograms of meat today.”

“Even the people from the gathering team will be allocated quite a lot.”

“We should be able to trade for a lot of salt with the Gargoyleosaurus armor!”

……

The people in the tribe chattered amongst themselves as they cut apart the dinosaurs, splattering blood all over their bodies. Some even patted their chests with bloody hands and showed off the marks to others as they boasted about how they had hunted down their prey.

Xiong Bai was among them.

Zhou Ji watched Xiong Bai, a girl, act like this and felt that the scene was a little difficult to take in.

Of course, the others obviously didn’t think so. Some men clearly enjoyed Xiong Bai’s behavior.

In such an environment, the extremely clean Zhou Ji and the freshly-washed Xiong Ye seemed particularly out of place. Some people who had originally been very excited, wanting to go up and greet Xiong Ye and pat him on his shoulder, felt too embarrassed to do so.

So, there was only Xiong Qi who came over and said, “Xiong Ye, you were very impressive today and actually managed to catch a Gargoyleosaurus! What’s more, you look different today. You stand out from the crowd!”

Xiong Ye was a little embarrassed from the praise, and Zhou Ji felt a little speechless–How come he felt that Xiong Qi had developed a new tendency for flattering?

Fortunately, Xiong He interrupted Xiong Qi’s endless praise. “Everyone should go to the river to wash up! How do you guys think you look, covered in blood? And that meat and intestines, take them and wash them too! I’ll divide up the meat after everyone’s washed up!”

“Yes, Chief!” Everyone responded loudly and gleefully went to the river to wash themselves clean.

Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji went to put their new harvest in the cave–the man-eating fish that Xiong Ye had caught using his own body as bait.

This kind of fish was called man-eating fish, but it couldn’t really eat people. After all, they weren’t that big.

It was just that they were extremely sensitive to the scent of blood. If someone with a wound went into the water, they would most likely be surrounded by these man-eating fish and be bitten fiercely.

Uh… If someone was seriously injured and fell into the water, it wouldn’t be surprising if they ended up devoured until nothing remained but bones.
