Ch166.2 – Extra: Educating The People

Zhou Ji was very much in favor of letting the people in the tribe learn more. He also started thinking about how to teach these people how to read.

It wasn’t easy to learn words one by one, but if they could make up some stories or nursery rhymes, they would learn much faster… Hadn’t the first-grade children’s textbooks back on earth been all filled with nursery rhymes?

A few days later, Zhou Ji found a piece of wood and engraved on it. “Spring is coming, gra.s.s is green, flowers are blooming, and dinosaurs lay eggs.”

And then by the second day, the priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple had already memorized it. “Spring is coming, gra.s.s is green, flowers are blooming, and dinosaurs lay eggs.”

They recited it several times, and then the people of the Big Bear Tribe also started to repeat it.

For a while, everyone was chanting ‘spring is coming’ everywhere.

They had Beast Kings going out hunting and bringing back big fellows every day. Although the people of the Big Bear Tribe were busy with construction over the past few days, they didn’t have to worry about going hungry. Even the captives from the Mountain Wolf Tribe had enough to eat every day.

If they wanted people to work hard, they couldn’t let them go hungry.

Therefore, although the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe didn’t live good lives, it wasn’t that bad. Additionally, even Beast Kings had to work in this place… The Mountain Wolf Tribe gradually calmed down and even got used to the smell of dinosaur dung.

Now, Lang Sha had already reached the point where he could use the hand that had picked up dinosaur dung to wipe away his sweat…

However, when he heard the people of the Big Bear Tribe chanting, he couldn’t help but say, “Are the people of this Big Bear Tribe fools? Why are they repeating this sentence over and over?! What dinosaurs lay eggs, dinosaurs clearly just s.h.i.t!” Those d.a.m.n dinosaurs, how could they p.o.o.p so much!

The others of the Mountain Wolf Tribe all nodded somberly.

However, even if they felt that the people of the Big Bear Tribe were a bit silly, they still needed to work.

This was a sad but real fact.

The priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple were full of enthusiasm for learning. They learned from Zhou Ji and carved characters on wood or bamboo pieces in order to deepen their memory.

Another person who also loved learning was the priest of the Big Bear Tribe.

Because a lot of priests from the Beast G.o.d Temple had suddenly come to the tribe, Xiong He, who finally no longer needed to learn how to become a priest, was put to work by the priest once again–the priest had him engrave all of the words from the Beast G.o.d onto the stone walls of his cave.

Xiong He: “……” He had to learn the words first before carving it into the walls. He had to learn again for no reason!

The entire tribe was thriving.

The priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple were busy both acting as overseers and learning new words. Not only were they all incredibly busy, they also ran around outside all day and slowly became tanned and strong.

They were very sad about this.

They wanted to look more like the Beast G.o.d, but it was obvious that they now no longer looked like the Beast G.o.d at all.

They could only comfort themselves with the fact that the Beast G.o.d should like them like this. After all, the Beast G.o.d’s mate was very strong and well built…

In the blink of an eye, summer was over, and autumn was on its way.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe recited many nursery rhymes, and the priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple also learned a lot of words.

At this time, Zhou Ji used cotton to make towels, clothing, pants, quilts, and so on in order to make his and Xiong Ye’s residence more beautiful. He also managed to make paper out of plant fiber.

Zhou Ji had always wanted to make paper.

Not only would it become more convenient for the people in the tribe to learn how to read if they had paper, they would also no longer need to use leaves to wipe their b.u.t.ts when they went to the toilet!

So, he broke down a lot of plants and experimented with them to try and make paper.

At first, he had failed constantly. However, after many failures, he was finally able to make a piece of paper with uneven thickness.

His paper making had become a success.

Zhou Ji summed up the method in simple terms, then had Xiong Ye find people to start making paper–if the paper that was made was good, it could be used for writing. If it was bad, then it could be used as toilet paper. Perfect!

Xiong Ye: “……” The idea was perfect, but they were short on people!

If only some more people could fall from the sky!

While Xiong Ye was hoping for more people, the tribal chief of the Mountain Wolf Tribe, Xi Shi, had been driven out of the tribe by his mate.

Xi Shi’s mate said that since Xi Shi could drive her son away, then she could also drive Xi Shi away!

The tribal chief who’d been driven out of the tribe sighed at the gate to the tribe and then spoke to the people around him. “Women can’t be indulged. Once they become used to it, they’ll dare to climb over a man’s head!

“Indeed!” Xi Shi’s subordinates said, “In that case, tribal chief, should we go back?” Based on their tribal chief’s strength, there was no need to be afraid of his mate at all.

“Forget it. I don’t want to argue with the likes of her!” Xi Shi said. “Let’s hurry up and find that dark fatty.”

Xi Shi’s subordinates: “… Alright.”

Xi Shi continued, “Say, will that dark fatty have encountered any trouble? He doesn’t have any abilities and is lazy and timid. I thought that he’d only dare to wander around near the tribe, and planned to take him out to see the world myself when he came back to beg for mercy… Yet as a result, he’s gone so far that we haven’t received any news!”

Xi Shi’s subordinates: “The young chief took a lot of people with him. They should be fine!”

Xi Shi sighed. “This child, why couldn’t he be like me? He’s so useless!”

Xi Shi’s subordinates: “……” Tribal chief, it’s wrong for you to say this. The young chief is especially like you! Your mate is the flower of the Mountain Wolf Tribe and is the most beautiful woman of Snow Mountain. What about you? You’re both dark and fat… the young chief is exactly like you!

Xi Shi continued again, “You guys go and inquire around. Look for my dark fatty. I wonder where he’s gone, if he’s gotten any darker or gotten thinner from hunger.”

“Yes, tribal chief!” Xi Shi’s subordinates answered. They felt that Xi Shi was worrying unnecessarily. Their young chief was already dark enough, just like their tribal chief and couldn’t be any darker. As for getting thinner from hunger… the young chief’s appet.i.te was particularly good, and it was impossible for him to get thinner. It would never happen.

The dark-skinned, fat tribal chief of the Mountain Wolf Tribe started to head towards the Big Bear Tribe after asking around, preparing to go and look for his dark-skinned, fat young chief.

And at this time, the Rhinoceros Beast King had also arrived.

When Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had first left the Beastman Continent, the Rhinoceros Beast King hadn’t followed them. Instead, he’d stayed in his tribe to deal with some things. Now that he was done, he was here to find his son.

When the Rhinoceros Beast King arrived, Xi Baobei had just turned into his animal form and was helping to stomp the roads flat.

“Baobei!” The Rhinoceros Beast King was delighted when he saw his son.

The dazed giant rhinoceros jumped up three feet in the air and soon became human. “Father!”

“Baobei, you’ve grown up!” The Rhinoceros Beast King looked at his son and was very happy. “How have you been doing recently?”

Xi Baobei said, “Recently… the hot pot is very delicious, the roasted meat is very delicious… spring is coming, the gra.s.s is green, flowers are blooming…”

The Rhinoceros Beast King: “……” He could ignore the start of sentence, but what exactly did the second half mean?

The children of the Big Bear Tribe really liked to recite nursery rhymes, and Xi Baobei also liked to do it, too. He would repeatedly chant it many times every day!

Now, he intended to recite every single nursery rhyme he knew to the Rhinoceros Beast King for him to listen to.

A Beast King had arrived!

The people of the Big Bear Tribe were all calm when this news spread through the tribe.

They had been shocked when Zhou Ji and the others had just come back, and some of them couldn’t process the fact that their tribe now had a Beast King. let alone that they also had a Beast G.o.d. Now that a few months had pa.s.sed, after watching the Beast Kings working hard and hunting for them to eat, they were already calm about it.

So what if there was another Beast King now? Wasn’t it just another worker?!

The people of the Big Bear Tribe were all very busy now. Even the elderly and weak of the tribe were responsible for cooking and cleaning, and had no time to pay attention to the Rhinoceros Beast King.

No, at first, they’d been curious about the Rhinoceros Beast King’s animal form. Later, though, they learned that his animal form was the same as Xi Baobei, and were no longer curious. They just felt that… this animal form was a little too heavy and unwieldy, and wasn’t suitable for working!

The Rhinoceros Beast King’s animal form was really unsuitable for working, so Xiong Ye arranged for him to hunt instead.

Hai Feng had originally been the one responsible for going hunting, but now, Hai Feng was going to make a trip to the Beach Tribe.

The Beach Tribe and the Big Bear Tribe had kept in touch after they’d gone to trade for salt.

The Beach Tribe lived by the sea, but the powerful sea monsters in that area of the sea had already been eaten up by Hai Feng over the past years. Therefore, the people of the Beach Tribe hadn’t encountered any danger over the past half a year, but they wouldn’t always be so lucky. This time, Hai Feng planned to go back and help the people of the Beach Tribe clean up the monsters in the sea around them.

He could also catch some dinosaur meat and such for the people of the Beach Tribe so that they would be able to have a good winter.

Now that it was autumn, it was time to start preparing for winter.

In the past, during this time of the year, the people of the Big Bear Tribe were always worried about the lack of food. However, this year, Xiong Ye was worried that there wasn’t enough people to deal with the game that the Rhinoceros Beast King had brought back and process it all into smoked meat.

Thankfully, most of the women of the right age in the tribe this year were pregnant, and their tribe would have many children in the future.

Hu Yue and Xiong Bai were both pregnant. Even his own mother was pregnant with another child…

It was a pity that these children wouldn’t grow up until many years later…

Xiong Ye was currently in his animal form. He scratched his head in frustration, and then continued working.

At this time, someone from a small tribe had led Xi Shi to the Big Bear Tribe.

The person from the small tribe said, “My lord, the Big Bear Tribe is up ahead. They’re a very powerful tribe!”

Xi Shi didn’t take it seriously.

How could a tribe in the wild forest be that strong? He’d been here for decades but hadn’t even seen a single high level Beast Warrior!

Although there weren’t many high level Beast Warriors over on the Beastman Continent, they weren’t that rare!

Speaking of which, he’d actually lived a pretty good life back on the Beastman Continent. It was just that he’d been unsatisfied–he was obviously very powerful, but there had always been a giant rhinoceros who was more powerful than him on the Beastman Continent!

Fortunately, he was now here and he was the most powerful one in this place!

Xi Shi was very confident about his animal form and strength.

However… he suddenly saw a particularly large giant rhinoceros.

It looked very familiar…

Juurensha: …guys, just maybe avoid the Bear tribe for a bit

xiin: particularly when they’re short on people…
