【052】Fierce beast meat
Before you know it, it's noon. At this time, the meat in the bone pot had also been cooked, and all the clansmen gathered around the bone pot, waiting for Xiong Yao's permission to eat.
As the two highest-ranking people in the tribe, Shen Nong and Xiong Yao can take away a piece of the best meat first, and then the rest will be distributed by the clansmen themselves, as the peck bones that are specially responsible for preparing food for Wu on weekdays, naturally they are still not allowed to take the lead in cutting off a piece of meat with the best taste in the pot with a bone knife and putting it on the leaves, and then run towards the position where Shen Nong is standing with both hands.
"Wu, your food. Peck Bone completely ignored how hot the meat that had just come out of the boiling water was, and handed it to Shen Nong in a daze.
"Uh......" Looking at the steaming piece of meat in the pecking hand, Shen Nong hesitated for a few seconds, and then said quite resistantly: "I'm not hungry now, you can send it to my residence first, okay, I'll go over and eat later." ”
"Oh. nodded, and immediately ran quickly towards the small cave where Shen Nong lived.
"Wu, are you really not hungry? I see that the people who went out with you are all hungry, and they look more terrible than wild beasts when they eat one by one. Xiong Yao didn't know when he came to Shen Nong's back, only to see that he was holding a bone knife in his hand, and there was a piece of meat the size of three palms inserted in the knife, which looked very fat.
Hearing Xiong Yao's words, Shen Nong couldn't help but subconsciously look at the bone pot, only to see that Chi and the clansmen who went to work in Bai Ze in the morning would all be frantically stuffing meat into their mouths, eating one by one, which was very exaggerated.
Shen Nong couldn't help but open his jaw to the maximum in surprise when he saw this scene, you must know that these meats were just fished out of the boiling water, the internal temperature of the meat was terrifyingly high, when Shen Nong ate it by himself, his tongue accidentally touched it a little, it would be scalded to numbness and blistering, and there was no way to eat it immediately without waiting for the meat to cool down or using a knife and fork.
How do these people do it? Don't they feel hot when they eat it?
Shen Nong had just had this idea in his heart, and a memory that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind, and after this memory was thoroughly digested, Shen Nong understood the reason.
It turns out that whenever a fierce beast is hunted, each male member of the tribe can be allocated a few pieces of fierce beast meat, which will strengthen their body after they eat it, this body is not only the toughness and resistance of the body, but also the speed of wound healing, the tenacity of vitality and some resistance within the body.
For example, people who have eaten the meat of the beast are obviously taller than those who have not eaten the meat of the beast, and when they eat bad stomach, accidentally eat poisonous weeds or eat hot things, the adverse reactions will be milder than those who have not eaten the meat of the beast, or even no reaction.
It can be said that eating ferocious beast meat is only good for anyone, and there is no harm. However, the difficulty of hunting fierce beasts has led to the fact that weak tribes cannot let their clansmen eat fierce beast meat every day, only those powerful tribes can, and some tribes eat not the meat of mixed-blood fierce beasts, but pure-blooded fierce beasts, and the effect gap is even greater.
After learning the reason why Chi and the others were not afraid of being hot, Shen Nong couldn't help but be curious about this fierce beast meat, remembering that not long ago, when he and Xiong Sickle and Chi went to help the people of the Tushan tribe, they hunted a fierce beast saber-toothed tiger, but after that day, Shen Nong never saw the saber-toothed tiger again, and he didn't know where Xiong Sickle was hidden.
"Bear sickle, what about the beast you killed before? Do you still have the meat of the beast? Cut a few pieces for me to taste. Shen Nong said immediately.
"Wu, you want to eat the meat of the fierce beast?" Xiong Yao heard Shen Nong's words, and his expression was instantly stunned.
As the son of the totem and the heir of the ancestors of the past generations, the moment they were chosen by the previous generation of Wu, they were already different from ordinary clansmen.
Because Wu doesn't even need to use the flesh and blood of the fierce beast to exert a power far beyond the warrior, so in order to avoid waste, so that more people can eat the flesh and blood of the fierce beast to strengthen their strength, Wu does not eat the flesh and blood of the fierce beast has become a thing that has long been accustomed to everyone, and now Shen Nong suddenly said that he wants to eat the flesh of the fierce beast, and it is normal for Xiong Sickle to be so surprised.
"What, have you finished eating?" Shen Nong asked in surprise. He had seen the size of that beast, although it was quite large, but it was definitely not enough for the entire tribe to eat for a few days, it had been several days since that day, and he had only come to ask Xiong Scythe for the meat of the beast now, and there was a possibility that it would be out of stock.
"Not really, there are still some left, but I've dried them all in the air. ”
"Does jerky work?"
"Yes. ”
"Then go get me a few pieces. Shen Nong urged excitedly.
Naturally, he was attacked by a white wolf in the place where Luo Man lived a few days ago, coupled with the sense of powerlessness in the face of the Titan Python today, Shen Nong has already deeply realized his weakness, he is a lump of mobile food that does not even have the ability to resist in front of all kinds of beasts and fierce beasts, if it were not for the protection of the dragon, he would have died many times.
And Shen Nong, who is a witch, does not have all kinds of magical witchcraft like other witches, so if you really think about it, he is just an ordinary ordinary person.
Therefore, enhancing his strength has become what Shen Nong wants to do most at present, and with the previous generation of witches already dead, there is no one in the tribe who can teach him witchcraft, Shen Nong can only focus on the road of becoming a warrior, if he can become a first-level warrior like Chi, then he has the ability to protect himself, and he can fight side by side with the clansmen in times of crisis in the future, instead of becoming a burden that needs to be protected.
Soon, Bear Sickle came out of the great cavern, carrying a stone bucket in his hand, which was one of the stone buckets that had been used to store and release water, but had since been eliminated by the cistern.
Walking to Shen Nong's side, Xiong Yao put the stone bucket on the ground, only to see that there were more than 20 pieces of dried meat stacked in the barrel, and the dried beast meat was a bloody red color, and there were a lot of salt grains on the surface of the jerky, which could make people feel more flavorful when eating.
"You can't eat too much beast meat, Wu is the first time you've eaten it, so take two pieces. Xiong said.
The reason why the meat of the beast is different from the meat of the beast, and the reason why it can enhance the physique of the eater after eating it is because the flesh of the beast is filled with something similar to 'aura', but this is only Shen Nong's opinion, the primitive people don't call it that, they all call this 'aura' the power of blood.
After eating the meat of the beast, the power of the blood in the meat will merge with the body of the eater, and the human body will be slowly enhanced, which is the reason why the clansmen will become strong after eating the meat of the beast.
For non-warrior clansmen, the power of the bloodline is not unlimited, if you eat too much beast meat at one time, it will cause harm to the human body, but after becoming a warrior, there are not so many scruples, you can ingest beast meat at will to enhance your strength.
At Xiong's suggestion, Shen Nong took out two palm-sized pieces of jerky from the stone bucket, and with curiosity, he took a hard bite directly on one of them.
When the fierce beast meat fell all the way down the throat into the stomach, Shen Nong immediately felt that in the area of the stomach, there were warm currents that were constantly radiating around, and soon spread to the five internal organs and limbs and other body parts, and the whole person instantly felt warm and comfortable.
"This effect is also amazing!" Shen Nong couldn't help but admire, it seems that the fierce beast meat is really a treasure, no wonder it can cultivate a warrior who is far more powerful than ordinary clansmen.
"Wu, how are you digging the ditch over there in Bai Ze, when will it be able to reach the tribe?" Seeing Shen Nong's relish, Xiong Yao couldn't help but ask.
Shen Nong asked Cang and others to hurry up to make hoes, pickaxes, shovels, board carts and other tools, Xiong Yao all knew, so that these four craftsmen spent so much work, if they didn't come up with some results, it would definitely be unreasonable, seeing Shen Nong and the others go out early in the morning, and then when they came back, they were all tired to the point of not being human, Xiong Yao was also very curious.
After all, once the ditch is completed, Bai Ze's water can flow directly to the Huangqiu tribe, so that it will be much more convenient for the tribe to get water in the future, which is a great good thing for the entire tribe.
"This morning we probably dug a distance of about twenty paces, if we dig in the afternoon, we should wait for more than twenty days to reach the tribe, but in the morning Shao Hao reminded me of a matter related to the safety of the tribe, I plan to cover the ditch with two layers of thick planks, and then bury some soil, so as to prevent people from other tribes or wild beasts from discovering this ditch that has been leading from Bai Ze to our tribe, if the time of this step is also counted, then there should be another five or six days of construction time in the end." 。 Shen Nong said as he gnawed on the jerky of the beast.
Xiong Yao listened to Shen Nong's words, and scratched his head as if he didn't understand, although he didn't fully understand Shen Nong's words, he still heard that wanting to complete the ditch was not something that could be done in a short period of time. The Huangqiu tribe is about a thousand steps away from Bai Ze, and it doesn't feel very far for people to walk, but it is very far to dig a ditch two meters deep and one meter wide between the two places.
And because the construction team had to walk through the forest during the 1,000-step journey, they had to dig not only the soil, but also find a way to remove the heavy stones and twisted roots buried deep under the soil, which greatly increased the difficulty of the construction, and perhaps had to be delayed in some time.
"I won't go out in the afternoon, you will take the construction team to Bai Zebian to continue to work, I have already told you the specific steps of the ditch project in the morning, they know what to do, you just need to be responsible for protecting everyone." Shen Nong said suddenly.
"Wu, can I do it alone?" Seeing that Shen Nong didn't plan to supervise the work himself, Xiong Yao hurriedly asked anxiously, because he didn't know how to make the ditch at all, and he would only be confused if he passed.
"Don't worry, as the only second-level warrior in our tribe at the moment, who can you do it? Shen Nong patted Xiong Yao's shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the small cave.
