At noon, the sun in the sky was particularly scorching, with some parts of the ground even cracking from the heat. After checking the second batch of papermaking and explaining to everyone how to read time on the sundial, Su Bai returned to the Main Teepee.

 

“Shaman, are you hot? Let me fan you,” Yu Ying picked up a large leaf and started fanning.

 

“The weather is a bit hot. How did you all deal with it before?” Su Bai asked.

 

“We used to go to the riverside to fetch water and cool ourselves. The men would directly swim in the river.” Yu Ying recalled.

 

Su Ba’s eyes widened a little, thinking to himself. [Primitive tribes are so direct in their methods…]

 

He came back to his senses and asked, “Aren’t there any Ferocious Beasts in the river? Isn’t it dangerous to swim like that?”

 

Yu Ying pointed her index finger at her chin, murmuring, “I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone being attacked by Ferocious Beasts.”

 

“Is that big river really that safe?” Su Bai said in surprise, he had thought it would be a river full of dangers. He had been thinking that if they developed later, the Ferocious Beasts in the river would be the biggest threat to boats. Now, it turns out he was overthinking. Without Ferocious Beasts, everything would be much easier.

 

“I recall… I think I heard Father mention before that there are Ferocious Beasts in the river, but they don’t attack us.” Yu Ying suddenly said.

 

“Why don’t they attack you?” Su Bai knew things could not be that simple.

 

“There’s only one kind of Ferocious Beast in that big river…” Yu Ying narrowed her eyes, recalling, and continuing, “I heard they only attack people when they have the smell of blood, so the Chieftain at that time told those injured that they are not allowed to go near the river.”

 

“Doesn’t that make them just sharks!” Su Bai tilted his head.

 

Yu Ying stopped fanning the leaf, and puzzledly stated, “Shaman, that kind of Ferocious Beast isn’t called a sha… shark.”

 

“Hahaha… I know. What’s this river Ferocious Beast called? What does it look like?” Su Bai asked with a smile.

 

“I’ve never seen this Ferocious Beast. It’s called a Sharptooth Bluefin. I heard that it got its name from its teeth, which are terrifyingly long and sharp. Yu Ying shuddered.

 

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, starting to plan in his mind to catch one and take a look when they reclaimed the Ancestral Land. Most importantly, he wanted to see if it was edible. Fish meat tastes quite good, and since it was a Ferocious Beast, it was worth trying.

 

“When we get back the Ancestral Land, I want to take a look at this fish.” Su Bai said.

 

“Shaman, this fish’s teeth are very sharp. It’s almost impossible to catch with wooden sticks,” Yu Ying recalled the fishing life in the Ancestral Land.

 

“You’ll see when the time comes. Fishing doesn’t always have to be done with wooden sticks.” Su Bai said mysteriously. [Using fishhooks definitely wouldn’t work, it would just waste our rare supply of fishhooks. Still, I roughly know how to catch this kind of fish. I just needed to verify my hypothesis when the opportunity arises.]

 

“Shaman, do you want to eat this fish?” Yu Ying looked at him curiously.

 

“Uh… was I that obvious?” Su Bai said with a smile.

 

Yu Ying shook her head repeatedly, saying, “This fish is very hard to catch. No one has eaten it before.”

 

“It’s alright, you’ll get to try the taste of fish meat when the time comes.” Su Bai calmly stated.

 

When Yu Ying heard about trying fish meat, her face showed a rejecting expression. She said, “I don’t dare to eat it. I’ve learned my lesson from the nosebleed last time.”

 

“Hahaha… I said I’d let you eat fish meat later. I never said it would be Ferocious Beast Meat again. Even I dare not give you Ferocious Beast Meat.” Su Bai heartily laughed.

 

He still remembered clearly the incident of the fox eared girl’s nosebleed last time. People without training indeed could not try various things. He could not help but start looking forward to whether the System would produce something in the future that could help ordinary people digest Ferocious Beast Meat. After all, once they could consume such meats, they would be able to naturally strengthen their bodies.

 

If possible, if he could let the fox eared girl eat it, her body would be better, and she would not fall sick so easily.

 

“Okay!” Yu Ying nodded heavily. To be honest, she was also a bit curious about what fish meat tasted like.

 

Before, when they were in the Ancestral Land, it was already rare to catch fish with sharp sticks, let alone be allocated fish meat to eat.

 

“Don’t make Wolf Tail Grass Noodles for the next few days. Let’s stop for two days.” Su Bai suddenly remembered.

 

“What’s wrong, Shaman? Is it not delicious when I make it?” Yu Ying’s face immediately showed a worried expression. Since she became a Shaman Priestess, she had been very careful in various ways, afraid of not taking good care of things.

 

“No, it’s just that we need to rest for two days. Otherwise, eating it all the time will make us tired of it.” Su Bai hurriedly explained. [Eating Wolf Tail Grass Noodles three meals a day would inevitably make one feel tired of it. To avoid completely getting sick of it, it’s better to take a break for two days. Still, apart from roasted meat, Wolf Tail Grass Noodles are the only staple food. Although it doesn’t really taste that great, we cannot allow ourselves to overindulge and get tired of it. At least, until we have things like wheat and rice. But, these things wouldn’t be available for a while. I also don’t know if the System would produce them.]

 

“I understand. I’ll continue to roast dried meat for the Shaman to eat tomorrow,” Yu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not an issue in her cooking, it was fine.

 

“Uh…” Su Bai covered his face with one hand and said helplessly, “It seems apart from dried meat and Wolf Tail Grass Noodles, I have nothing else to eat.”

 

When Wolf Tail Grass Noodles were first made, they satisfied his cravings quite a bit. However, they were not made from real grains, so they inevitably did not taste that great.

 

However, for the fox eared girl and cow horned girls, Wolf Tail Grass Noodles were a heaven-sent delicacy.

 

“What does the Shaman want to eat? I’ll have someone find it,” Yu Ying immediately said.

 

“Is there anything in the Tribe besides meat and more meat?” Su Bai asked with hope in his eyes.

 

Yu Ying shook her head without hesitation and said, “No, there’s only meat.”

 

“Alright, alright, I got it,” Su Bai regretted why he still had hope.

 

“Shaman, what’s wrong?” Yu Ying asked innocently.
