A delicious meal along the way
"Xiao Hu, do you have a better idea? Or is it the right thing to do to bring the whole village along for negotiations to succeed?" the old clan chief retorted directly.
"I... I didn't say that." Shi Linhu was speechless at this point.
If I had a better way of doing things, I wouldn't be so unstable.
Along the way, the group encountered many Ferocious Beast and continued deeper into the forest.
Several people knew perfectly well why.
"Chieftain, these venomous insects and ferocious beasts have been gathering in the depths of the forest lately. They must be after the corpse of that Archaic Descendant Suanni that's about to die of old age, right?" Shi Linhu asked, trying to make conversation out of boredom.
Upon hearing this, the old clan chief's eyes lit up. "This Suanni is King Level of the mountains. Its precious bones, flesh, and other parts are all extremely valuable treasures. If our Stone Village can obtain it, that would be wonderful, truly wonderful!"
"With so many Ferocious Beast vying for it, it's unlikely we have much of a chance given our strength."
Shi Linhu laughed and said, "Regardless of whether there's hope or not, we can't miss such a once-in -Hundred-Year opportunity, so we should try our best."
"That makes sense. Xiao Hu, if we, Xiao Ye, Hu Niu can return to the village safely this time, let's plan to go into the mountains to investigate. We might find something; nothing is absolute. Besides, the Suanni is no longer a threat after Suanni died of old age. If it were alive, then forget about it. Even ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand Stone Village wouldn't be a match for it."
"That's for sure! With the strength of the Suanni, especially an adult Suanni, it could potentially wipe out and level a city with hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people in one fell swoop. ✊😺 🐨☺"
"Therefore, with our strength, we can only scavenge the corpses of these old, dead Suanni."
As Qian Ye listened to the two's conversation, he recalled the corpse of the old, dead Suanni from the original Perfect World novel.
The first time, he pretended to be dead, and several Ferocious Beast thought he was really dead, so they went forward to fight for him. However, they did not know that they had fallen into its trap and were trapped in its territory, where they were poisoned and exploded to death.
Finally, Stone Village and Shi Hao got lucky Shi Hao absorbed the Suanni Treasure Bone and comprehended its Archaic Suanni Secret Art, greatly increasing his strength. He then possessed the Suanni Precious Technique and used it to defeat many powerful enemies.
He broke through the Heavenly Passage Realm, and his strength exceeded 108,000 jin, breaking through three Heavenly Passage at once.
In this way, a four- or five-year-old child would have the strength of 108,000 jin, break through the Heavenly Passage Cave, and even open up three Heavenly Passage, making him a truly monstrous existence.
With this strength, at the age of five, he could travel 300,000 miles across the Great Wilderness to make a round trip to Cloud Surging City, the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land.
It has never existed before, from ancient times to the present.
Of course, he also has two capable assistants: a unicorn as his mount and Hairy Ball as his assistant, who have helped him clear the way many times.
Meanwhile, Hairy Ball also caused a lot of trouble, stealing the eggs of the Five-Colored Peacock, Houyi the ancient divine bird, and almost being killed by it.
Left with no other choice, Shi Hao led the two into the Great Yin River to avoid being caught by the Five-Colored Peacock, but they almost froze to death.
The reason is simple: the Great Yin River is no ordinary river; it is an extremely Yin river, capable of taking lives. ☜✌ ♠♔
If you go down into the river, it will freeze and you'll freeze to death, so no fish or other creatures live in it.
This black river also has a story. Legend has it that there were dozens of Great Yin Star in the sky, but nine of them were cut down by the gods in a great battle in ancient times.
One of the nine Great Yin Star was refined, which allowed it to descend into this river, thus becoming the Great Yin River.
Qian Ye plans to go and see for herself next time to see if the Great Yin River is really like that.
The Bei Village is located more than a hundred miles away, so it is quite far.
But for the residents of the Great Wilderness, it's actually quite close.
The Great Wilderness wilderness stretches for countless miles; a mere hundred miles is just a matter of taking a few more steps for them.
If you have a mount, it will be even closer.
Generally speaking, people from Stone Village who go hunting usually travel on foot.
The villagers had no mounts, so walking was essential. However, to make their journeys faster, they usually ran, not walked.
People living in the Great Wilderness, especially villagers or tribes in the forests, must learn to run fast from a young age.
Only by running fast can one avoid dying in the jaws of Ferocious Beast, or being killed because one cannot outrun Ferocious Beast.
They weren't running for the sake of running fast, but for the sake of running fast and living long.
If you can't run fast enough and get caught by Ferocious Beast, you'll die; there's no other choice, no other way.
The people living in the Great Wilderness, especially in villages like Stone Village, rely solely on hunting for a living and do not farm, so their food comes entirely from the forest.
Even the fruits were all wild fruits picked from the forest to eat.
Their main food sources were hunting and roasted meat.
Fortunately, the Great Wilderness is a land of endless forests, sparsely populated, and teeming with all kinds of animals, Ferocious Beast, and poisonous insects, providing an inexhaustible supply.
So hunting was enough to fill their stomachs.
However, Qian Ye and the others did not run away; instead, they simply walked towards the Bei Village.
This is, after all, a hundred li (approximately 50 kilometers). If you walk quickly, it will take about ten hours; if you walk slowly, it will take about twelve hours.
Of course, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and it may take about fifteen hours.
So if you set off in the morning, it will take almost a Bai Tian to travel that route.
If you have a mount, you can get there in less than an hour if you're fast.
The group wasn't in a hurry; walking a little slower wouldn't hurt.
Along the way, they encountered some poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but Qian Ye scared them all away.
We only killed one Long-Traveling Wolf; it's for lunch.
Along the way in Qian Ye, we enjoyed many beautiful sights, making it a pleasant trip. Otherwise, with any supernatural ability, we could have reached this distance in the blink of an eye.
Qian Ye looked up and saw the sun was already high in the sky. "It's noon, let's rest for a bit before continuing our journey."
He wiped the sweat from Hu Niu's forehead and helped her sit down.
Shi Linhu, the old clan chief, was also a little tired, so he sat down to rest.
Qian Ye also rested for a bit. "Tiger, go gather some firewood. We'll roast this Long-Traveling Wolf for lunch."
Shi Linhu didn't say much; to him, this was a piece of cake.
As a veteran hunter, I have a lot of experience surviving in the wild.
Before long, he returned with a considerable amount of firewood.
They were actually everywhere; I barely moved them and collected quite a few.
In this Great Wilderness wilderness, with its endless forests and sparse population, firewood is the cheapest and most abundant resource, so naturally no one competes for it and it can be used freely.
If it's a place where people congregate, with few mountains and many people, then it's a different story altogether.
Qian Ye quickly prepared the Long-Traveling Wolf and put it on the fire to roast.
Before long, the aroma of roasted meat wafted over. Shi Linhu, the old clan chief, and Hu Niu had been walking all morning and were quite hungry.
As soon as Qian Ye finished grilling, the three of them wolfed it down.
"Xiao Ye's roasted meat is just delicious," the old clan chief praised as he ate.
Shi Linhu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, everyone in our Stone Village loves his roasted meat."
During the three years that Qian Ye stayed in Stone Village, he often cooked barbecue for Hu Niu himself, and the villagers would occasionally come over and share some of the meat.
Over time, the people of Stone Village fell in love with Qian Ye's grilled meat dishes.
