Was the beast-eared tribe that rich?
This was Xi Xi’s first thought.
It was a little exaggerated.
She looked at the huge pots of meat.
This food was much better than at the eagle-bodied tribe!
“Xi Xi, sit down and eat with us.”
Li enthusiastically made way for her and pulled her into a seat.
“I…” The eagle girl was a little embarrassed. After all, when she went out, she had said that she would bring some delicious food to Li. However, now it was Li who was giving her delicious food.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “I’m not hungry.”
“Are you not hungry?” Li, who was planning to help her take some meat, paused her actions.
“Yeah… I’ve been out for so long, so I’ve already eaten my fill…” Xi Xi replied with a hint of guilt in her voice.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started growling.
“…”
Li didn’t expose her friend’s lie. Instead, she took a bigger porcelain bowl and put two pieces of meat into it. Then, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, try our Village Chief’s cooking. Don’t say you can’t eat it. I know that everyone in your tribe can eat very well.”
“Then… I won’t hold back.”
Xi Xi was very pleased by Li’s ingenious words, and she naturally enjoyed the delicious food before her.
“How is it? Is it good?”
“Well… It’s yummy…”
Xi Xi narrowed her eyes as she savored the flavor of the food. “I’ve never tasted such delicious meat before. What kind of meat is it?”
“It’s buffalo meat.”
“Are buffaloes that delicious? I don’t believe it. It’s not like I haven’t eaten buffalo meat before…”
Xi Xi downed three bowls in a row with a skeptical expression.
Fu Rui couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. After all, she usually ate raw meat, but this was cooked meat. Furthermore, the meat was marinated before being cooked. How could there not be a big difference?
After the meal, everyone could go to sleep early tonight. They did not have to work until midnight like before.
Fu Rui pulled a few key members of the tribe to guide them on what they needed to do.
The dog-eared girls, including Wei Wei and Li Li, were in charge of guarding the village. Thus, they had to work harder. They would be on duty outside the village and would report back as soon as there was any movement.
Meanwhile, the cow-eared girls, who were led by Xia, set up a patrol team. They patrolled the trenches in groups of three, cleaning up the damage and the traps that had been triggered. They could also replace the traps when necessary.
After giving his instructions, he had nothing else to do for the time being. His tense nerves finally relaxed for a brief moment, so he took off his clothes and soaked in the pool, enjoying the pleasant time brought by the cool stream.
On the other hand, Li brought Xi Xi around the village to see the changes that had occurred under Fu Rui’s leadership.
“You guys don’t have to go out to look for water? How did you do it?”
“Can this thing really catch fish? I love fish. Can you teach me?”
“Is this thing called a barrier that powerful? I feel like I can crush it with one kick. If you don’t believe me, just watch. Heh heh…”
“Alright, it seems like your wizard is quite skilled. I take back my words.”
“Farmland? You can grow food to eat here?”
“Why are you keeping chickens here? Aren’t you going to eat them?”
For an outsider like the eagle girl, everything was new.
Like a curious baby, she asked about everything that she had not seen before.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had eagle-like claws, she might have personally tried out the facilities.
When she was brought to the shooting range by Li, she was shocked by the sight of more than twenty beast-eared females shooting.
A straw man was instantly covered by densely packed arrows. Not a single one of the straw men was able to escape this calamity as they were directly torn apart by the enormous impact.
“Wow, that’s awesome!” Xi Xi’s eyes immediately lit up. “Are those your weapons? It’s so unique!”
“That’s right, it was developed by the Village Chief to deal with the porcupine tribe.”
When Li said this, her face was full of pride.
Xi Xi picked up an arrow, examined it, and placed it under her feet before stomping on it.
Crack!
The flint arrow shattered.
She could not help but frown, “It’s a little brittle. It might be difficult to deal with the porcupine tribe using this.”
When she said this, the eagle girl was a little unconfident. Fu Rui had brought too many surprises. Thus, it was very difficult for her to determine if there was something hidden behind this bow and arrow.
“Definitely not.” Li laughed. “However, our Village Chief has already thought about it and prepared some venom beforehand. As long as the arrowhead is soaked in it, it will contain the venom of more than ten venomous creatures.”
Xi Xi smacked her lips, feeling a sense of confidence for the beast-eared tribe. However, a few seconds later, she said with a hint of pity, “In that case, wouldn’t you be unable to eat even the pigs you killed?”
“Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat!”
Li glared at her. “This is war, not a joke.”
“Alright, alright, I admit my mistake.”
“How perfunctory. Hmph.”
After walking around the village, she basically understood everything she needed to know.
The eagle girl yawned and asked to sleep with Li. Li could not dissuade her and brought her to her room.
On the other side, Fu Rui had finished showering and returned to his room to rest.
As usual, he prepared the toiletries for Yuan and checked the wounds on her foot.
The scab was already very dark, and it looked like it would fall off at any moment.
“Not bad, it’s healing very quickly.”
Fu Rui exclaimed at the self-healing ability of the beast-eared tribe, then said, “It looks like you can walk tomorrow.”
“Really, meow!” Yuan’s little eyes instantly lit up. She had been cooped up in her room for this period of time and couldn’t go out. It had really suffocated her.
“As long as it’s not a strenuous activity, it’s fine. Can you guarantee that?”
“Yes!”
“Alright then. Rest early, wash up, and go to bed.”
“Got it~~”
Yuan threw herself at Fu Rui and gave him a heavy kiss before going to wash up.
Fu Rui shook his head and laughed. When a kitten was happy, it could really do all kinds of clingy actions.
After brushing her teeth with her, he hugged the cat-eared girl’s fragrant and soft body and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he was awakened by a quick whistle.
There were three short whistles!
It meant that someone had discovered the enemy and was requesting reinforcements!
Fu Rui immediately woke up. He hurriedly sat up, put on his shoes, and rushed out.
Quite a number of people in the village had already woken up. They stood outside their houses and looked around. The sky was just beginning to brighten, and there was even a thick fog. Thus, the visibility was especially low.
The bamboo whistle had come in handy!
Fu Rui took out a bamboo whistle and blew a series of sounds, sending messages to the village and the beast-eared girls in the forest.
Soon, the beast-eared girls in the village gathered towards the sound. After counting the number of people, everyone, including the eagle girl, arrived.
“Listen, we don’t know what’s going on outside. Wei Wei sent us a war message, so we have to be on full alert. Do you understand?”
“Understood, Lord Village Chief!”
The beast-eared girls said in unison.
“Very good.”
Fu Rui nodded in satisfaction and looked around. “Now, the archers led by Li are to bring enough bows and arrows and head south… That is to say, travel a thousand meters in that direction and walk along the riverbank. There is a stone pillar there. When you reach the location, use the whistle to inform them and set up an ambush.”
“Everyone else, follow me to guard the village and wait for the enemy to arrive!”
