Claws

Jian Mo took a bite, a little puzzled. "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? It's quite delicious."

Wu Jiong put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "I bit quite a few beasts today, and my teeth are a little sore."

Jian Mo looked at the aloof young man in front of her, smiled, raised her hand to turn his chin, and brushed his canine teeth with her fingertip. "Let me see."

Chapter 165 Claws

Wu Jiong's teeth were whiter than average, and his canines were slightly longer. Combined with his high eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and cold, stern appearance, he looked somewhat fierce.

Of course, when this person opens their mouth, conceals their fierce expression, and calmly lets others put their fingers in their mouth, then they can't be fierce at all.

Jian Mo gently touched his teeth and confirmed, "They are a little loose; he needs to rest for a couple of days."

Wu Jiong made a slight nasal sound, "Hmm."

Jian Mo took her finger out and kissed him. "I'll go make some softer rice."

Wu Jiong: "No need, just eat whatever's available."

Jian Mo: "Then let's make some noodles, pour the stewed meat broth over them, boil two eggs, mix in some minced garlic and chili sauce, and add a touch of sourness. That should taste good."

The house had all the ingredients, Jian Mo insisted on kneading the dough and cooking a big bowl of noodles. "Okay, come and eat."

Wu Jiong: "It smells so good."

Jian Mo: "Let's make something else tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've had tofu, let's see if we should make some."

Wu Jiong: "Would you like to make the Mapo Tofu you mentioned again?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Sure, we happen to have chili peppers now."

After finishing his meal, Wu Jiong washed the dishes and cleaned the stove as well, then boiled water for Jian Mo to take a bath.

Jian Mo is currently in her developmental stage and cannot take cold showers; she takes hot showers every day.

Although boiling water every day is a bit of a hassle, Wu Jiong never slacks off on it.

Before going to bed, Jian Mo was still thinking about building the animal enclosure, and he had a little trouble falling asleep, perhaps because he had slept too much during the day.

Wu Jiong patted his head. "I'll go prepare the materials first thing tomorrow morning. The wood we used to fight the summer wind is still here; it can be used after a little cleaning."

Jian Mo: "I'll go with you. I just don't know if those Brown Fart Beasts will run away tonight?"

Wu Jiong: "No, they're badly injured and tied up; they can't run away even if they wanted to. Jiujiu and Ying'ao are watching nearby; even if they tried, they'd be blocked."

Jian Mo nuzzled Wu Jiong's shoulder. "Let's go to sleep."

Nothing happened that night, and when Jian Mo and the others went out the next day, the six Brown Fart Beasts were still safely tied up in the backyard.

Jian Mo over to check on their wounds; they were healing well, and they expected to wake up today.

In this situation, be careful when approaching them.

Jian Mo called to Wu Jiong, "Let's hurry up and fix the animal enclosure, otherwise I'm afraid they'll run away."

Wu Jiong came out of the house. "I'll go and bring the wood back right away."

Jian Mo: "I'll go with you."

Wu Jiong: "No need, I can go faster by myself. You should rest a little longer."

Wu Jiong went out alone, but returned with a herd of giant beasts.

With logs on their backs and ropes in their mouths, they greeted Jian Mo indistinctly, "Jian Mo."

Jian Mo: "Hey, what brings you all here? You must be tired."

The giant beasts said, "We saw our chief carrying wood to build the animal enclosure, and since we had nothing else to do, we thought we'd come and help."

This batch of timber was used when building the windbreak wall. It has a pointed bottom, so it doesn't need any further processing. It can be placed directly on the ground, and the giant beasts can use their weight to press it down and it will stand upright.

Therefore, the animal enclosures were built exceptionally quickly.

In just one morning, a large animal pen of at least 200 square meters was fenced off.

Wu Jiong was meticulous, so he specially led people to the cave to carry back several large logs, which were buried deep underground to form pillars.

With these pillars in place, they can directly tether the Brown Fart Beast- Brown Fart Beast when needed, controlling it to the greatest extent possible.

After the animal enclosure was finished, they herded the half-dead Brown Fart Beast inside.

Having confirmed that the Brown Fart Beast couldn't escape, Wu Jiong led his men to help other families build animal enclosures.

Wu Jiong's teeth were probably still sore, Jian Mo made a cake for breakfast.

As for the tofu, we'll have to grind the soybeans and make soy milk slowly when we have time in the morning, so we can eat it in the evening.

The Brown Fart Beast was doing well in the Riverside Tribe, and people from several nearby tribes came to see it after hearing that they had raised Brown Fart Beast.

Qing Kuo explained, "We're only keeping them temporarily. The Brown Fart Beast is too irritable and doesn't like being kept in captivity. We've only kept them for a few days, and they're already getting thinner and thinner. It's not worth keeping them for a long time."

The people of the Yigu Tribe said, "It doesn't seem like a good deal, but raising them for a few more days is still worthwhile in order to eat fresh meat."

A member of the Red Zheng Tribe said, "We've tried it before; animals kept in captivity do become very thin and are more prone to dying."

The people of the Mengshui Tribe pondered, "Actually, this should be attributed to poor domestication techniques. If the techniques were good, there would be many benefits. Besides being able to eat fresh meat, raising them for a few days would cleanse their intestines, and some animals would taste better."

No one expected this benefit, and the people of the Mengshui Tribe were all asked to elaborate.

The people of the Mengshui Tribe do not have the habit of keeping animals in captivity. However, they have observed that if certain animals are kept in captivity for a few days, their fishy smell will be less noticeable.

Their Mengshui Tribe had tried raising Long-Headed Beast before, the longest time being more than a hundred days. The Long-Headed Beast raised were completely different from the ones outside.

Jian Mo joined the discussion with great interest. "It might be a matter of food; the taste of many kinds of meat can be affected by the food they're made with."

Qing Kuo: "Why?"

Jian Mo: "The specific reason is hard to explain, but it's probably because what you eat might end up inside the animal's body and become part of it."

Everyone looked on with disbelief.

Jian Mo reminded him, "When we eat too many ice-eye fruits in the summer, doesn't our sweat taste a bit like ice-eye fruit?"
