C38 - Xiong Mao

Zhou Ji hadn’t had a chance to see anyone awaken ever since he had transmigrated into this tribe, but he had observed the people in the tribe and had asked Xiong Ye some questions about things related to the awakening, so he had some thoughts and speculations on how the tribespeople awakened.

What kind of animal form the people of the tribe awakened as was related to the individual’s physical fitness. Generally speaking, those who were in better shape would awaken a more powerful animal form. As for exactly what they would awaken as, that was uncertain.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Ji could awaken as a mammoth even though he had clearly been a fool.

As for how to improve their physical fitness… Their parents’ physical condition as well as the child’s own diet and exercise as they grew up would all have an effect on their physical fitness.

Take Xiong Ye as an example. Xiong Ye’s father, Xiong Zheng, had been the previous tribal chief. He was very powerful, and his mother, Xing Shu, had awakened as a large orangutan, and she hadn’t been weak, either.

He had grown up in good health since childhood and liked to scavenge and hunt for food everywhere. He had taken very good care of his body, and so he naturally awakened a very powerful animal form when the time came.

On the contrary, some children in the tribe were born very weak, and they weren’t well cared for, so their awakened animal form may also end up very weak.

Just like this younger brother of Xiong Ye’s… Zhou Ji could see that this child was very small and thin, and he would most likely be unable to awaken a powerful animal form.

Zhou Ji had thought through many things, but Mao was cluelessly still eating meat. As for Xiong Ye, he was explaining Mao’s situation to Zhou Ji, “Mao and I have the same mother. He’s ten years old this year, and he currently lives in the collective cave.”

Xiong Ye’s father had already passed away, but his mother Xing Shu was still alive.

He was Xing Shu’s eldest child. When Xing Shu had just reached adulthood, she had been like many women in the tribe and had been focused on finding a strong man to have a baby with, so she had gotten together with Xiong Zheng, who had been the tribal chief back then, and given birth to Xiong Ye.

After Xiong Ye was born, Xing Shu and Xiong Zheng had separated, and she had concentrated on raising Xiong Ye. A few years later, she had a second child with a very attractive man.

Xing Shu and that man had a total of three children together, two of whom had survived up until now. Mao was the younger of the two children.

Six years ago, that man and Xing Shu had separated. Xing Shu had found a third partner to have children with and had yet another child. Currently, Xing Shu was living with her third partner as they raised their young daughter together.

Xiong Ye wasn’t close to Xing Shu, and he also wasn’t familiar with Xing Shu’s other children, which was quite a common occurrence within the tribe. However, even if they weren’t close, they were still connected by blood, and their relationship was a little different than just pure strangers.

For example, Xiong Ye wouldn’t normally give Xing Shu a share of the prey he caught for himself, but if Xing Shu grew old and didn’t have enough food to eat, Xiong Ye would definitely do what he could to give her some meat to eat.

This was something that the people of the tribe usually did for their elders.

Zhou Ji listened as Xiong Ye finished explaining about Xing Shu, then said, “In the future, you can introduce your mother to me so that we can get to know each other.”
