The primitive tribal chief who was as burly as an iron tower came over.

   When he stood in front of Ye Xi, a sense of oppression like a mountain suddenly hit his face.

   He looked Ye Xi up and down, and said solemnly: "You said you found an edible plant? If you deceive me, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

The tone of    was very calm, but Ye Xi had already smelled the cruel meaning of this sentence.

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

  Because this is a primitive jungle with giant insects, dinosaurs and beasts at the same time, competing with these terrible creatures for food...Think of Ye Xi's scalp tingling.

Hunting risks are high, and the harvest is not fixed, so plants have become one of the important rations of the tribe. The currently known edible plants have been explored by countless tribesmen at the risk of being poisoned. The plants that have been discovered are precious.

   So it can be imagined, why heard Ye Xi say that, even the chief came to ask questions in person.

   Ye Xi nodded with certainty and said: "My father Amu died when I was eight years old, and I survived on the fruit of the plant."

   Ye Xi lied. The reason why his body can live so big is because his relatives pity him and occasionally help him.

   But he has to say so now in order to increase his credibility, and he has no guilty conscience.

   "How far is that place from the tribe?"

   "About three or four miles."

   The chief heard this and immediately turned his head and said to the brawny stone axe on the side: "Horn, put him down."

   The strong man named Jiao Yiyan lifted Ye Xi off the pillar.

  The lack of water and food made Ye Xi a little unstable, but his years of habit made him stand up straight: "Thank you, Lord Chief."

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

   Everyone was quiet for an instant, and they all looked over.

   These tribesmen, especially the men around the bonfire, their aura and eyes are like fierce beasts, stared at by so many fierce beasts staring at their prey, Ye Xi's cold hair is standing up.

   Chief yelled at the crowd: "Cone! Cangpan!"

   The two tribesmen who were named immediately stood up and said like a bell: "Yes! Chief!"

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

   All the tribesmen stood up, beat their chests and raised their arms, and shouted in excitement: "Live roast! Live roast! Live roast...!"

   Ye Xi looked at this scene in front of him, feeling chilly.

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

   People are scorched by the fire on the grill, wailing, but can't die for a while, until the fat on the body turns into grease and drips, the skin is burnt and crisp, and the person will die.

   This is an extremely cruel form of punishment in the tribe, and only tribes who have made a big mistake will get this punishment.

  ……

   The sun gradually set, and the sky became dim.

   Before the night fell completely, all the tribesmen cleaned up the food residues and traces on the square and walked into the cave.

   This is a very hidden cave. Half of the cave entrance is hidden underground. All Tushan tribesmen enter this cave to rest at night.

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

  Although the entrance of this cave is small and only allows one person to pass through it, the space inside is extremely large. The top of the cave goes higher and higher. As far as Ye Xi can see, the top of the cave even reaches the height of two stories.

   Ye Xi stood at the entrance of the cave, looking into it from where he was standing now, the depth of the black hole was so deep that he couldn't see it to the end.

   I don’t know how long it will take to dig such a big cave.

   The tribesmen go through the sun and the sunset. Once the sun goes down, all tribesmen must enter the cave. After the evening, all tribesmen must be closed outside and never open again.

   Everyone in the tribe seemed to have their own specific sleeping area, and walked straight to their own territory. Ye Xi stood there not knowing where he was arranged.

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

   The man gave Ye Xi a cold look: "You can sleep here." After saying that, Ye Xi left.

   here? Ye Xi looked back, only two steps away from the entrance of the cave.

   It was getting completely dark. 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 then lay down and covered a layer of animal skins on the body.

   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 answer him, Ye Xi smiled bitterly.

   Five sturdy primitive men with red totems on their chests pushed a huge rock to the entrance of the cave and blocked it firmly. The surrounding gaps were filled with branches and weeds to ventilate.

   As soon as the rock was blocked, the cave was suddenly dark, and only very weak light passed through the cracks in the rock.

   didn't get anything, Ye Xi had to lie directly on the muddy ground. There was only a straw skirt on his body, which meant that his skin was in direct contact with the muddy ground.

   Ye Xi closed her eyes and tried to get herself to sleep as quickly as possible.

   He told himself that he would enter such a dangerous prehistoric jungle tomorrow, and he had to rest in the evening and regain his energy.

   But my stomach was so hungry that there was a fire burning, and my throat was cut by a knife because of lack of moisture.

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

   The skin in contact with the soil suddenly itch.

   Ye Xi stretched out his hand and grabbed it quickly. A bug was struggling in the palm of his hand, touching the size of a fingernail, and he couldn't see what the bug was in the dark.

   Pinch to death, throw it away.

   exhaled, Ye Xi tried to put himself to sleep again.

   There is a big temperature difference between day and night here, and Ye Xi gradually feels cold at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. This cave should have other vents, and a cold wind blowing from the back adds to the coolness.

   In the darkness, he opened his eyes and looked at the light shining through the cracks in the rocks, hugged his arms and curled up to reduce the loss of body heat.

   was suddenly thrown a piece of animal skin on him.

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

   The cave is too dark to see who threw it.

   "Thank you?" Ye Xi said tentatively.

   An indifferent voice sounded not far away: "I'm afraid you are freezing to death."

   Then let the tribe lose one kind of food? Ye Xi knew it, and stopped talking.

   Ye Xi spread out the skins of the animals. The skins were not big enough to cover his stomach.

   This animal skin is very rough to the touch, it has not been well tanned, the leather is hard, and there is a fishy breath, it feels lumpy, and there may be some untreated minced meat on it.

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

   The warmth on his belly made Ye Xi gradually feel sleepy, his consciousness gradually dimmed, and then he fell asleep completely.

   The night is getting deeper.

   "Sand, rustle..." A dim and faint voice sounded outside the rock.

  ...The light through the cracks is gone.

   dense black and red arms and legs stick out from the gap between the rocks, slowly wriggling like a worm.

   The feet of this unknown creature covered the entire crevice of the rock. How big this creature should be, it makes people dare not think about it.

   Ye Xi, who slept very deeply, didn't know that such a terrible creature was so close to him, just separated by a rock.
