Giant Bear (Edit)

The number of giant beasts hunted by the Beast Tide was too large for the Wood Tribe to take them all away.

Only the most tender meat in the abdomen can be taken, and the rest can be discarded.

Tu Feng pulled out all the horns and thorns from the giant long-horned beast that pierced Tiger Roar.

These things are very sharp and can be used as weapons.

The fur and skin of that giant megalodon-like beast were of excellent quality and felt soft and not prickly to the touch.

Tufeng was very attracted to him.

But who would have thought that just as he picked up the horn he had pulled out from the beast and was about to skin it, the bear-shaped beast opened its eyes.

Rabbit Feng was so frightened that he raised the horn in his hand and was about to attack.

“Mmmm.” The giant bear-shaped beast covered its head, curled up into a ball, and whimpered as if begging for mercy.

Its round eyes peeked out from the small gap and looked at Tufeng.

Tufeng raised his horn and snorted coldly.

It actually "hmm" first. Why didn't it think about this moment when it was lifted up and swinging in the air?

Just as the Rabbit Wind Horn Thorn was about to fall, the giant beast sensed the killing intent, rolled over to avoid it, and quickly fled.

! !

The hide ran away!!

Tu Feng wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Shen Nong.

They didn't have the energy to deal with the giant bear now, so they had to save their strength to move the meat.

No one noticed that after the giant bear ran for a distance, it quietly turned back and glanced at Shen Nong.

On the way back, Shen Nong called out the system, "Put all the beast meat left on the grassland into the warehouse."

They almost sacrificed their lives in exchange for the meat, so there was no way Shen Nong would leave even a single scrap of meat for those people.

What's more, what those people did was not secretive at all.

Shen Nong was a fool and could not see that those tribes were all led by the Salt Tribe and wanted to kill the Mu Tribe.

The system will digitize all the remaining behemoths and store them in the system warehouse.

At this time, the Salt Department had already cut off all the meat they wanted, and several other tribes rushed towards the giant beast's corpse and started looting it.

The next moment, the huge corpse disappeared.

Everyone watched helplessly as the beast's corpse disappeared into thin air, along with the meat they had already cut off.

! !

The Ze tribe members, who suffered heavy casualties, could not help but sneer when they saw this scene, saying, "This is the punishment of the Beast God!"

Lang Yu didn’t believe it. How could the Beast God punish them?

He pinched the neck of the person who was speaking, and the person's face turned red due to lack of oxygen.

His eyes were fixed on Lang Yu, and he managed to utter a few words, "The Salt... Ministry... will be... despised... by the Beast God..."

"What did you say!"

Lang Yu's men exerted force and were about to strangle the other man to death. Bao Qiu hurried over and whispered to stop him, "Lang Yu, everyone is watching."

Lang Yu reluctantly let go of his hand and said fiercely to the group of people who were looking at him: "What are you looking at!"

As soon as the fish from the Ze tribe’s neck was released, it started coughing violently.

He stared at Lang Yu's departing back fiercely, feeling angry.

If the "divine blood" hadn't escaped, the tribe wouldn't be like this today.

When they find the "divine blood", they will make the Salt Department look bad!

——

The Mu tribe no longer had a gloomy look on their faces, and they cheered around the campfire.

In this beast tide, no one of them died!

Not only that, they also brought back much more food and skins than previous beast tides.

Shen Nong brought Tu Dong to clean up the wounds of Hu Xiao and Mao Yun.

Tudong took out the herbs for stopping bleeding and relieving pain that Shen Nong had collected before, but they were not enough.

The tribe had consumed the herbs for a period of time and had no time to replenish them before the beast tide arrived.

Tu Dong took out a bunch of grass from a hide bag he carried with him, "Priest, these are the herbs I found to stop bleeding according to the diagram in the book."

After Shen Nong took it, he examined it carefully and found that there were longitudinal ridges at the root, the leaves were deeply pinnately fissured, and there were thorns on the edges.

It's the thistle.

Shen Nong processed the great thistle, mashed it in a ceramic bowl, and applied it to the wounds of the two men.

There was no cloth here, so Shen Nong had no choice but to continue tearing his pants to bandage the two men.

Feeling his trouser legs getting shorter again, he had to find a way to get the cloth out.

Hu Xiao and Mao Yun were seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a while, so their plan to go to the Salt Department to exchange salt had to be put on hold.

After treating the injuries of Hu Xiao and Mao Yun, Shen Nong checked on the other people. Although they had external injuries, they were not as serious as Hu Xiao and the others.

It's more about overdrawing your energy that leads to physical fatigue, so just pay more attention to rest.

"priest!"

The guards ran into the mud house in a panic, their faces pale, "There's a giant bear outside the tribe!"

Giant bear?

Somehow, the image of the giant bear that ran away after the beast tide ended popped into Shen Nong's mind.

He was a little puzzled as to why he encountered the giant bear in the same day.

Shen Nong followed the guard team to see what was going on, and Ze and Tu Feng also followed.

The giant bear in front of the tribe had huge teeth, and its entire body was black except for the exposed huge teeth which were white.

The whole bear stood there, its tall body like a heavy black mountain.

Unable to shake.

Even if Feng turned into a gray rabbit, he still remembered the giant bear that hung him upside down and dangled him for a long time.

"Priest, this is the giant beast that ran away before." Tu Feng touched the horn on his waist, eager to try.

He really seemed to want the giant bear's skin.

It is so soft that if you peel it off and give it to the priest, it must be very warm to cover the body in winter.

"There seems to be something behind it."

Shen Nong walked to the right and gradually saw what was behind the black bear.

It was a black and white little bear.

It is not very big, the whole bear is only half the size of a black bear's leg.

Shen Nong was confused for a moment. Why did this little bear look so much like the iron-eating beast described in ancient books, which is later called the national treasure, the panda?

Shen Nong, an interstellar person who had never seen a panda, was instantly captivated by the cuteness of this little creature that was hiding behind the black bear and peeking its head out.

"There's a little one?"

Tufeng held the horn thorn and hit the black and white bear's fur in the face.

Tu Feng thought the quality was very good and couldn't wait to get it.

A duck in the mouth can fly once, but not twice.

So he asked Shen Nong, "Priest, when should we start? It would be a good opportunity to bring more meat to the tribe if they deliver it to our door."

"See what they do."

Shen Nong just wanted to take another look at the legendary national treasure, the panda.

He knew that the creature before him was not a panda that had been tamed over thousands of years and had become a bamboo-eater, but a carnivorous iron-eating beast.

But in front of all the cute and beautiful things, Shen Nong couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.

Ze lowered his eyes and stared at the look in the priest's eyes as he looked at the black and white bear, his brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of displeasure.

This look was the same as when the priest looked at him.

Ze thought of what the priest would do every time he looked at him like that.

The first time was when I took him in, and after that I would always give him round sweet treats.

So, the priest would take in this black and white bear and feed it sweet round treats?

Ze pursed his lips and said nothing, he glared at the black and white bear.

The frightened little bear shrank back his round little head and dared not look anymore.

I am so satisfied with this. I really don’t know what’s so good about a timid and cowardly black and white bear.

"Priest, the beast tide has passed. They can't survive the winter here because they can't keep up with the beast tide."

"If we don't kill them now, they will attack the tribe when they are hungry."

Ze felt it necessary to remind the priest that he must not be allowed to take in the cowardly bear.

Shen Nong certainly put safety first. He was just briefly fascinated by the cuteness of the panda.

However, before the Wood Tribe could make any move, the two bears began to act.

But not attacking, just lying down.

The black bear "Banglong" collapsed in front of the wooden tribe. It patted its cub's head and pointed at Shen Nong quietly.

The cub walked crookedly to Shen Nong, looked up at Shen Nong, and made a "chirp" sound.

It was parked in a very convenient position, at a certain safe distance, outside the defense line.

Zedu was unable to stand in front of the priest to protect him.

Shen Nong narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly and looked at the giant bear playfully.

This bear is too smart.

He realized that his attitude towards the little bear was different, and he accurately grasped the position, making the little bear come over to show him weakness.

Ze said that if they missed the beast tide, they would not be able to survive the winter here, and they were staying in the Wood Tribe to prepare for attack when they were hungry.

But why does Shen Nong feel that it is planning to find an owner for itself?

"come over."

Shen Nong waved to the little bear while also preparing for defense.

The little bear seemed to understand what was said. It ran to Shen Nong, sat down on the ground, stuck against Shen Nong's legs, and started chirping again.

Although it is called a "little bear", that is only for the giant black bear.

Compared with Shen Nong, no matter how small this bear is, it is still as big as his chest.

Looking at the strange chirping thing beside his leg, Shen Nong thought, maybe this is the legendary tough guy acting like a spoiled child.

When the black bear saw that his cub had successfully penetrated the inner chamber, he quickly got up and prepared to leave.

It missed the beast tide and couldn't survive the winter.

The cubs are still young and need to stay alive.

During the beast tide, it sensed a very comfortable breath, which was emanated from the human priest.

And it felt that this breath was very familiar, as if it existed in the memories of its ancestors, making it always want to get closer.

Although one of the people in his tribe wanted to skin it, and another wanted to kill its cubs.

However, the human priest loved its cub very much.

The cub will definitely be able to survive the winter if he follows him.

The black bear turned and left, and the little bear at its feet wanted to chase him.

But in the end he didn't chase it, he just barked at the black bear's back.

Seeing this, Shen Nong already understood what the black bear wanted to do.

He thought of the interesting stories he had read in ancient books, about a brown bear who was awarded a military rank for participating in a war, and a national treasure who was said to be fat and ignored people.

All things have spirits.

This bear is so smart that Shen Nong doesn't want to let it go.

"You can stay. I'll give you meat to get through the winter, and you have to protect the Wood Tribe."

Shen Nong's voice was not loud, but the little bear next to him suddenly jumped out after hearing it, and started chirping at the black bear.

The black bear roared to the sky, then waved his hands, and the giant trees unique to the Mu tribe fell down.

He stood still, imitating the way the guards took the stone and wooden warehouse.

Shen Nong is amazing. In ancient times, Lu Zhishen uprooted a weeping willow tree, and today, black bears uproot giant trees.

Okay, that's it.

Anyway, there was more meat in his warehouse than he could eat, so it was more than enough to feed two bears.

Ze followed behind Shen Nong, staring at the backs of Shen Nong and the cowardly bear in front of him.

The priest really took in the cowardly bear.

Shen Nong sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the cute panda, "I'll call you Tuanzi from now on."

“Chi.”

"Does this mean you agree to call me Tuanzi?"

“Chi.”

The man and the beast happily decided on the names, while Ze on the other side stared at the panda with a serious look.

Tuanzi really couldn't stand the chill on his back. After hesitating for a while, he crawled behind Shen Nong and hid behind him without coming out.

In fact, Shen Nong’s figure couldn’t cover it at all, but it just felt safe now.

Shen Nong, who didn't know the truth, thought Tuanzi was just acting coquettishly, so he rubbed Tuanzi's big head and laughed non-stop.

Ze's face also became darker.

Shen Nong rubbed Tuanzi's big head and thought about the giant tree that Tuanzi's father had pulled out. If the diameter was reduced and hollowed out, it could be used as a bathtub.

Although there is no waterproof coating, there are many trees here and there are giant bears to help.

If it's really worn out, just get a new one.

"Tuanzi, ask your father to help me pull up another giant tree."

Ze rushed before Tuanzi could say anything, "I'll go."

“That’s a giant tree.”

Shen Nong couldn't help but remind him that Ze had not awakened yet, and his human form was at most two meters tall, while the tree was estimated to be fifty or sixty meters tall, more than ten meters taller than the giant bear.

Shen Nong almost had the words "You can't do it" written on his face.

Ze insisted: "I'll go."

Shen Nong never liked to persuade others, so he didn't insist, "Okay, go ahead."

As soon as Ze left, Shen Nong whispered to Tuanzi, "He pulls his, and your father pulls your father's."

Ze had excellent hearing and heard every word Shen Nong said.

The priest didn't believe he could do it.

Ze did not give the giant bear a chance to perform. He stood in front of the giant tree and mobilized his qi and blood. The meridians in his body swelled and his muscles bulged like winding hills.

The part of the tree trunk covered by Ze's palm suddenly caved in, and the roots loosened, making a noise.

When the guards and the giant bear were attracted by the strange noise, Ze just pulled out the giant tree completely.

The huge tree fell down, crushing several other huge trees, causing a loud noise.

Ze calmly glanced at the giant bear and rushed to the cave. He wanted to tell the priest that he could do it.

Tufeng is extremely fond of the fur of Tuanzi and his son. The giant bear won't let him touch it and always kicks him.

Tufeng wanted to satisfy his urge to masturbate, so he had to play with Tuanzi.

Feeling the furry touch, Tu Feng was very satisfied. He really wanted to touch Tuanzi every day. "Priest, you can only choose one guard now, which is too few. Otherwise, I will be your guard too."

As a guard, there is not much to do every day. Tu Feng is a person who can't sit still, so he will definitely not be able to hold on.

Shen Nong saw that Tu Feng wanted to touch Tuanzi. Thinking back to his previous life in the interstellar space, everyone loved cats. He didn't expect to meet someone who loved bears in the beast world.

He didn't care, "Come whenever you want."

The next sentence "Tuanzi won't run away, you can touch him without being a guard" was interrupted by Ze before he could finish his sentence.

"Priest." Ze clenched his hand into a fist to cover the blood on his palm, "What are you going to do behind the giant tree?"

Shen Nong was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Ze said, he asked in surprise: "Are you serious?"

That was a giant tree, so he wouldn't be that surprised if the roaring tiger-beast pulled it out.

"Um."

Shen Nong noticed the injury that Ze had hidden and originally wanted to let Ze rest and let the giant bear do the rest.

But when Shen Nong just expressed his intention to let Ze take a rest, Ze showed an expression as if he was deeply hurt by him.

Shen Nong: ? ?

Shen Nong had no choice but to carefully explain to Ze what kind of bathtub he wanted.

Looking at Ze's leaving back, Shen Nong thought to himself, just take it out slowly.

After being interrupted by Ze, Shen Nong forgot what he wanted to say to Tu Feng.

Tufeng only heard half of it and really thought that the priest agreed to have him be a guard.

At night, Tufeng lay on the kang and counted the wood on top, thinking about telling Huxiao the good news tomorrow.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The fragile wooden door creaked when it was knocked, and Tu Feng asked lazily, "Who is it?"

Just as I was about to get up, the window was violently opened from the outside, "Come out."

Ze's face suddenly appeared from the window, with sawdust on his hair, which scared Tu Feng so much that his hair stood on end.

"What are you going to do?"

"Competition." Ze stared at Tu Feng, afraid that he would run away. "If you lose, you are not allowed to be the priest's guard."

Tu Feng is not stupid, he knows he can't beat Ze.

"No.."

"Snap", the wood in Ze's hand was crushed, and Tu Feng shuddered.

He felt that if he didn't compete, he might be in a worse situation.

"Compare!"

——

Hu Xiao and Mao Yun's injuries are gradually getting better. Tu Dong is taking care of them both, and Shen Nong goes to see their recovery every day.

Fortunately, their level was high and Tudong's thistle arrived in time.

Shen Nong did not use his supernatural powers this time, and both of them recovered well.

Five days later, Hu Xiao was able to walk again. Shen Nong once again marveled at the orcs' self-healing ability.

If they were released into interstellar space, they would definitely be captured by scientific researchers for research.

"Priest, these skins are for you."

Hu Xiao was buried in a pile of animal skins, and his face could not be seen at all.

He placed the animal skin at the entrance of Shennong's cave with a "bang", looked at Ze who was guarding outside the cave, and thought of something Tufeng said when he went to see him yesterday.

"Ze, I heard from Tufeng that you beat him up?"

Ze acted as if he didn't hear the voice, just staring straight ahead and ignoring him completely.

Before Hu Xiao could ask any more questions, Shen Nong came out of the cave with a plant in his hand.

He was recording plants he had never seen before when he vaguely heard the roar of a tiger.

After hearing the content clearly, he forgot to put down the plant in his hand, "When did you hit the rabbit wind?"

This question is about choice.

At this moment, Ze seemed to hear people talking again. He turned his head and stared at Shen Nong, moving his mouth slightly but saying nothing.

Shen Nong knew that this meant he was not going to say it, so he gestured to Hu Xiao, "Go ahead."

Hu Xiao scratched his head. He also heard from Tu Feng.

But since the priest asked, he must tell it.

He didn't have the courage to ignore the priest's words.

"Tufeng said he wanted to be the priest's bodyguard, and then Ze started fighting with him..."

Shen Nong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked Ze: "Is this true?"

He lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"It's not a fight, it's a competition."

He clenched his hands tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, revealing the tension in his heart.

"If you lose, you can't be a guard. He loses."

Shen Nong understood what Ze meant. Simply translated, it meant that he didn't beat anyone, but Tu Feng was the one who got beaten unilaterally during the competition.

How can you talk about beating during a competition?

After hearing Ze's explanation, Hu Xiao couldn't help but look at Ze.

He just felt that Ze's persistence in staying by the priest's side was a bit like an animal guarding its food in a circle.

I can't describe it, it's just very weird.

Shen Nong did not ask any more questions about Tu Feng. It was just a misunderstanding in the first place, and it was good that no one was hurt.

His eyes were drawn to a pile of animal skins on the ground.

Looking at the animal skins with dried blood, Shen Nong frowned slightly, and couldn't help wanting to soak them in water until they were clean.

"Do the tribes use animal skins directly after peeling them off like this?"

Hu Xiao shook his head and said that it was not used directly after peeling it, "It was used after drying it."

Shen Nong: ..

He had no longer used the animal skins in his cave, and Tuanzi had been living in the cave with him since he came.

He always sleeps leaning on Tuanzi at night. Tuanzi's fur is very soft and there is no smell on his body. He feels very comfortable.

Shen Nong actually forgot about the animal skins.

The animal skins sent to him must have been the best in the tribe. The best ones were in such a horrible state, and I don’t know if the rest can still be used.

After putting the unknown plant in his hand back into the cave, he said to Hu Xiao: "Come on, I will teach you how to deal with animal skins."

When Ze saw Shen Nong was about to leave, he followed closely behind him.

Hu Xiao followed behind Shen Nong, his hand resting lightly on his injured abdomen, and muttered strangely: "Can't the animal skin just be dried? How else can it be treated?"

The old men of the Mu tribe skinned the animals very quickly and efficiently, leaving the skins intact without even a trace of damage.

Tanning animal hides requires a lot of time and effort.

Now that the hides have been dried, they need to be soaked to soften them.

However, they do not need to be depilated and the soaking time is slightly shorter.

Shen Nong controlled the water temperature and soaked the animal skins in a large wooden barrel.

This wooden barrel was carved out of a giant tree, and Shen Nong was very satisfied with it.

I don't know how it was done, but it's polished very smoothly.

Before he had time to take a bath, he was used to soak animal skins.

it's a pity.

Ze saw the reluctance in Shen Nong's eyes, moved closer to his side, leaned over and whispered in Shen Nong's ear: "I'll make one for you when I get back."

Shen Nong felt his ears itchy. He tilted his head slightly and began to make demands, "It has to be bigger than this."

Ze assured with a serious look, "Yes, okay."

After the animal hide is soaked until it is completely softened, the next step can be carried out. Shen Nong has people spread out the animal hide and tie it up with branches, stretching it to the extreme. The next step is to scrape the inside.

However, there are no iron knives here, the only "knife" is Shen Nong's dagger.

The only other thing that can be called a "knife" is the bone knife.

Fortunately, the orcs are very strong, and after the bone knives are sharpened, they can also be used to scrape off the fat and residual meat from the animal skins.

Shen Nong repeatedly reminded him to scrape it very cleanly, otherwise the hide would quickly rot and stink.

If the skin is cleaned properly, it can be preserved for a long time.

The Mu tribe was very familiar with the rotting and stinking of animal hides; their hides were not usable for long.

If you want it to prevent it from rotting, you need to use a lot of salt soil.

They did not have enough salt to preserve the hides, and the only hide that was preserved intact by salt was in the priest's cave.

The animal skins I use are all dried and used directly.

It’s okay in winter, but when summer comes, the animal skins can no longer be used and we need to hunt for animal skins again.

It turns out that scraping off the contents of animal hides can prevent them from rotting or stinking?

The person in charge of scraping was Yang Lei, who had been rescued by Shen Nong before. He scraped very seriously, and after scraping back and forth many times without getting tired of it, he finally cleaned up the grease.

Then stir and crush the animal brain, boil it until it becomes viscous, and apply it to the hairless side of the animal hide.

Allow the hide to fully absorb and stretch.

The hide can be stretched further and will no longer form a rawhide.

Saltpeter can make animal hides softer and smoother.

Saltpeter is easy to find, and Shen Nong didn't take long to find enough in the damp cave.

Shen Nong dissolved saltpeter with water, let it stand and extracted the required saltpeter, then soaked the treated animal hides in the solution until they softened.

It would be even better if there was alum.

Soaking the fur in an alum solution would make it look better, but I don't know if there are any volcanoes nearby.

In order to make the color of the animal hide better and increase its durability, a smoking process is also required.

The Mu tribe lives on a big mountain with many trees.

But none of them taste as good as the giant tree. This tree has a fragrance when it burns.

It was very similar to a perfume Shen Nong had smelled before, which had a clear but sweet scent.

Fortunately, the black bear was there, and it pulled out the tree as easily as pulling out a carrot, and it was considerate enough to chop it into small pieces for Shen Nong.

This time, no one rushed to pull it out.

After the hide is smoked, you can trim it if you want the hair side of the hide to be softer.

However, the Mu tribe did not have scissors now, so Shen Nong had to give up.

This relatively primitive method of processing animal skins was something Shen Nong had seen in ancient books before.

He used to love watching these when he had nothing to do, so his teacher always joked that if he was thrown into a primitive tribe, he could survive with his skills.

Unexpectedly, the teacher's words came true.

He really traveled to a primitive tribe.

——

The processed animal skins were incredibly soft and had no peculiar smell from the animals. They were completely different from the animal skins used in the tribe before.

Hu Xiao held the tanned animal skin in his hand and was reluctant to put it down.

He rubbed his face against the hide, feeling its soft touch. The unique wood fragrance of the giant tree lingered around him. "Priest, should we take the hide to the Salt Department to exchange for salt stone?"

Hu Xiao affirmed: "The best hides in the Salt Department are not as good as ours. If we use hides like these to exchange for salt, we will definitely get a lot."

Shen Nong looked at the animal skin that took so much time and effort to tan, and he refused directly, "No, unless someone else exchanges it with us for something good."

If you want it, show sincerity.

Sovereignty can only be in the hands of the Mu tribe!

While the Salt Department was waiting anxiously for the Mu Tribe to exchange animal skins for salt, the Mu Tribe, led by Shen Nong, came with a bunch of pottery jars to exchange for salt.

And they didn't take any animal skins with them.

The author has something to say:
