The chieftain of the primitive tribe, who was as burly as an iron tower, walked over.

When he stood in front of Ye Xi, a feeling of oppression like a mountain suddenly came to his face.

He looked Ye Xi up and down, and said in a deep voice: "You said that you found an edible plant? If you deceive me, the consequences will be unbearable for you." ”

The tone was calm, but Ye Xi could already smell the cruelty underneath this sentence.

There is a shortage of food in primitive tribes, and many people die of hunger every year in any tribe.

Because this is a primeval jungle infested with giant insects, dinosaurs, and fierce beasts, competing with these terrible creatures for food...... Thinking about Ye Xi, his scalp was numb.

Hunting is risky, and the harvest is not fixed, so plants have become one of the important rations of the tribe, and the edible plants that are known to be known are explored little by little by countless tribesmen at the risk of being poisoned, and every plant that has been found is very precious.

So it is conceivable why even the chief came over to ask in person when he heard Ye Xi say this.

Ye Xi nodded and said affirmatively: "When I was eight years old, my father Eminem died, and I survived by the fruit of that plant." ”

Ye Xi lied, the reason why his body could live so big was because there were relatives who took pity on him and occasionally helped him.

But he must say it now in order to enhance credibility, and he has to say it without any hypocrisy.

"How far is that place from the tribe?"

"About three or four miles. ”

When the chief heard this, he immediately turned his head to the strong man with the stone axe and said, "Horn, put him down." ”

The strong man named Jiao took Ye Xi off the pillar according to his words.

The lack of water and food made Ye Xi a little unstable on his feet, but his habits for many years still made him try to stand up straight: "Thank you, Chief." ”

The chief ignored him, turned around and pointed at Ye Xi and yelled at the men around the campfire, "This slave claims to have found new food!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all looked over.

These tribesmen, especially the men around the bonfire, their momentum and eyes were like fierce beasts, staring at so many like fierce beasts staring at their prey, Ye Xi's cold hairs stood up.

The chief shouted at the crowd, "Cone!"

The two named tribesmen immediately stood up and shouted like a bell: "Yes!

"Tomorrow you two will accompany this kid on a trip, and if this kid lies, then roast him alive!"

All the tribesmen stood up, beat their chests and raised their arms, and excitedly shouted: "Roast alive, roast alive, roast ...... alive!"

Ye Xi looked at the scene in front of him and felt a chill.

The so-called live roasting, as the name suggests, is a method of putting a living person on the grill without killing them first, slowly roasting them over a fire, and eating them.

People are scorched by the fire on the grill, wailing, but they can't die for a while, until the fat on their bodies turns into grease and drips down, and their skin is burned and crispy, and they will die.

This is an extremely cruel form of punishment in the tribe, and only the tribe who has made a great mistake will receive this punishment.

......

The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.

Before night fell, all the tribesmen cleaned up the food scraps and traces in the square and walked into the cave.

It is a very hidden cave, the entrance of the cave is half hidden underground, and all the Tushan tribesmen go into this cave to rest at night.

The walls of the cave are gray-black rocks that are very hard to the touch, and the ground is black soil, which is much wetter than the dry soil outside the cave.

Although the entrance of this cave is small, only allowing one person to pass through, the space inside is extremely large, and the top of the cave is higher and higher, and as far as Ye Xi can see, the top of the cave even reaches a height like a two-story building.

Ye Xi stood at the entrance of the cave, looking inside from where he was standing now, the depth of the black hole was incomparably deep, and he couldn't see the bottom at all.

I don't know how much time it will take to dig such a large cave.

The tribesmen rested from sunrise to sunset, and once the sun had set, it was decreed that all the tribesmen must enter the cave, and after evening, they would all shut the door and never open it again.

Everyone in the tribe seemed to have their own specific sleeping area, and walked straight towards their own territory, Ye Xi stood in place and didn't know where he was arranged.

"Hey, can you tell me where I sleep?" Seeing that no one came to explain to him, Ye Xi had no choice but to hold someone casually.

This person glanced at Ye Xi coldly: "You can sleep here." After speaking, he left without waiting for Ye Xi to speak.

Ye Xi looked back, and he was only two steps away from the entrance of the cave.

It was almost completely dark, and taking advantage of the faint light coming in from outside, Ye Xi saw that the primitive people in the cave began to spread animal skins or hay on the ground, and only lay down after they were finished, and then covered their bodies with a layer of animal skins.

Ye Xi stood near the entrance of the cave, no one gave him animal skins or hay, everyone slept on their own, completely ignoring him.

It seems that no one will come to deal with him, Ye Xi smiled bitterly in his heart.

Five stout primitives with red totems on their chests worked together to push a huge rock to the entrance of the cave, blocking it firmly, and filling the gaps around it with things like branches and weeds to ventilate.

As soon as the rock was blocked, the cave was suddenly dark, and only a very faint light penetrated through the cracks in the rock.

didn't get anything, Ye Xi had to lie directly on the dirt floor, he only had a straw skirt on his body, which was equivalent to skin directly touching the dirt.

Ye Xi closed his eyes and fell asleep as quickly as possible.

He told himself that if he was going to enter such a dangerous prehistoric jungle tomorrow, he would have to rest and recuperate at night.

But the hunger in his stomach was like a fire, and his throat was like a knife cut because of the lack of water.

...... Fall asleep, you won't be hungry or thirsty when you sleep, Ye Xi comforted herself.

Sudden itching on the skin that comes into contact with the soil.

Ye Xi stretched out his hand and grabbed it quickly, and an insect couldn't stop struggling in the palm of his hand, touching it as big as a fingernail, and he couldn't see what kind of insect it was in the dark.

Pinch to death, throw away.

Exhaling a breath, Ye Xi tried to put himself to sleep again.

There is a large temperature difference between day and night here, and Ye Xi gradually feels cold. The cave should have other vents, and there is a cold wind blowing from the back to add to the coolness.

In the darkness, he kept his eyes open for the glimmer of light coming through the cracks in the rocks, clasped his arms, and curled up to reduce the loss of body heat.

Suddenly, a piece of animal skin was thrown on his body.

Ye Xi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, touching the animal skin on his body and looking around.

The cave was too dark to see who threw it.

"Thank you?" Ye Xi said tentatively.

An indifferent voice sounded not far away: "I'm afraid you'll freeze to death." ”

And then let the tribe lose one kind of food because of this? Ye Xi understood and stopped talking.

Ye Xi spread out the animal skin, the animal skin was not big, it could only cover his stomach.

The skin was very rough to the touch, not well tanned, the leather was hard, and there was a fishy smell, pimples to the touch, and there might be some minced meat that had not been cleaned up.

If it were in the current society, Ye Xi might not touch it, but now it is too precious for him.

This warmth on the belly made Ye Xi gradually sleepy, and his consciousness gradually became hazy, and then he fell asleep completely.

The night was getting deeper.

"Rustle, rustle......" A hazy and faint voice rang out outside the rocks.

...... The light that peeked through the crevices was gone.

Dense black-red brachiopods protruded through the gaps between the rocks, slowly wriggling like worms.

The tentacles of this unknown creature covered the entire crevice of the rock, and it was hard to imagine how big the creature must have been.

Ye Xi, who was sleeping deeply, had no idea that such a terrible creature was so close to him, just separated by a rock.
