The Caveman Made Me Awesome

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

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

He looked Ye Xi up and down and said solemnly, "You said you found an edible plant? If you deceive me, the consequences will be unbearable for you."

The tone of voice was calm, but Ye Xi could already smell the cruelty beneath the sentence.

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

Because this is a primitive jungle where giant insects, dinosaurs and beasts are infested at the same time, competing with these terrifying creatures for food... Thinking about Ye Xi makes her scalp tingle.

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

So it is conceivable why even the chief came to ask questions in person when Ye Xi said that.

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

Ye Xi lied, the reason why his body can live to such a large size is because some relatives pity him and occasionally help him.

But now he has to say so in order to enhance his credibility, and he has to say it without any guilt.

"How far is that place from the tribe?"

"About three or four miles."

Hearing this, the chief immediately turned his head to the strong man with a stone axe and said, "Jiao, put him down."

The strong man named Jiao Yiyan carried Ye Xi down from the pillar.

The lack of water and food made Ye Xi a little unsteady, but years of habit still made him try to stand up straight: "Thank you, Chief Chief."

The chief ignored him, turned and pointed at Ye Xi and yelled at the men around the bonfire, "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 aura and eyes were like fierce beasts, and when so many beasts stared at their prey, the cold hairs on Ye Xi's body stood up.

The chief shouted at the crowd: "Cone! Cangpan!"

The two named tribesmen stood up immediately and said loudly, "Yes! Chief!"

"Tomorrow you two accompany this kid, if this kid is lying, bake him alive!"

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

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

The so-called live roasting, as the name suggests, is a method of not killing people first, but putting living people on the grill, slowly roasting them with fire, and eating them.

People are scorched by the fire on the grill, screaming, but they will not die for a while, until the fat on the body turns into oil and drips down, and the skin is baked and crispy, and people will die.

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

...

The sun gradually went down, and the sky became dark.

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

This is a very hidden and large cave. Half of the entrance of the cave is hidden underground. All 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 moister than the dry soil outside the cave.

Although the entrance of this cave is small, only a short person can pass through, but the space inside is extremely large. The top of the cave gets higher and higher. As far as Ye Xi can see, the top of the cave even reaches the height of two floors.

Ye Xi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside from where he was standing now.

The deep black hole is so deep that it is impossible to see to the end.

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

The tribesmen go from sunrise to sunset and rest at sunset. Once the sun goes down, it is stipulated that all tribesmen must enter the cave. After evening, they will all close the door and never open it again.

Everyone in the tribe seemed to have their own specific sleeping area, and walked straight to their own territory. Ye Xi stood there 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 at random.

The man gave Ye Xi a cold look: "You can sleep here." After speaking, he left without waiting for Ye Xi to speak.

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

It was getting 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 then lay down and put a layer of animal skins on their bodies.

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

It seemed that no one would take care of him, Ye Xi smiled bitterly in his heart.

The five sturdy primitive people with red totems on their chests worked together to push a huge rock to the entrance of the hole and block it firmly. The surrounding gaps were filled with things like branches and weeds for ventilation.

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

Without getting anything, Ye Xi had to lie directly on the soil. He only had a straw skirt on his body, which meant that his skin was in direct contact with the soil.

Ye Xi closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as quickly as possible.

He told himself that in order to enter such a dangerous prehistoric jungle tomorrow, he must rest and fully nourish his spirits at night.

But his stomach was so hungry that there was a fire burning, and his throat felt like a knife had been slashed because of the lack of water.

... 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 quickly grabbed it. A worm was struggling in his palm. It was as big as a fingernail when he felt it, and he couldn't see what it was in the dark.

Squeeze to death, throw away.

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

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

In the darkness, he opened his eyes to see the gleam of light in the cracks of the rock, clasped his arms and curled up to reduce the loss of body heat.

Suddenly a piece of animal skin was thrown from him.

Ye Xi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, feeling 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 make the tribe one less food because of this? Ye Xi understood and stopped talking.

Ye Xi spread out the animal skin. The animal skin was not big enough to cover his stomach.

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

In today's 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 sleepy, his consciousness gradually dimmed, and then he fell asleep completely.

The night was deeper.

"Shasha, Shasha..." A hazy and weak voice sounded outside the rock.

...the light through the cracks in the rock is gone.

The dense black and red arms stretched in from the gap between the rocks, slowly squirming like worms.

The tentacles of this unknown creature covered the entire crevice of the rock. How big the creature should be as a whole made people dare not think about it.

Ye Xi, who slept deeply, had no idea that such a terrifying creature was so close to him, only separated by a rock.
