The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 69 Bugs
During the search, Chen Bei and Bai Cao found two more herbs on the animal skin roll, namely the root of the sawgrass and the blood scorpion flower.

These two herbs are also very powerful, and it took Chen Bei a lot of effort to get them successfully.

In the following time, they did not find any other herbs recorded on the animal skin scroll, but other plant fruits, regardless of whether they were useful or not, so they picked a lot of them back to see if they could be grown in the Mang tribe.

At noon, Chen Bei returned smoothly with the white grass and joined the hunting team of the tree tribe.

Seeing that the animal skin bags of Chenbei and Baicao were all swollen, Honghua said with a smile, "It seems that you have harvested well."

Chen Bei said: "Good luck, I found something useful."

Honghua said: "It's the first time I came to the mysterious forest, and I can gain so much. It's not just good luck. The key is the strength of Chief Chen."

Chen Bei smiled and said nothing, he can't brag about himself, can he?
The white grass on the side nodded proudly, the leader of his own tribe is strong, this is a glorious thing.

Hong Hua said again: "Everyone has worked hard for a long time, and we are also hungry. Let's find some food to fill our stomachs."

Chen Bei said: "Should we still pick the fruit?"

Hong Hua shook her head with a smile, and said, "No, let's eat some meat this time."

"Meat?"

Chen Bei was a little puzzled, there were terrible plants all around, except for a small number of birds and insects who dared to come, other animals could hardly be seen, and those who entered by mistake became fertilizer for plants.

"That's right, Rou, Chief Chen, let's go."

Honghua took the lead to walk in front again, Chenbei had doubts in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask, anyway, he would know soon.

A group of people walked through the plants, and finally came to a forest.

This forest looks relatively normal. Although the trees are big, they don't give people a very dangerous feeling. It can be regarded as a piece of pure land in the mysterious forest.

After Chen Bei followed Honghua into the woods, he didn't see any food.

There are trees here besides trees, and there are not many fruits on the trees, and there are no birds or animals on the ground.

He was a little puzzled, where is the "meat" that Honghua mentioned?
Honghua saw his doubts, she put her finger to her lips, and said, "Shh, close your eyes and listen."

What are you listening to?Chen Bei closed his eyes and listened attentively. There was the sound of the wind passing through the woods, the chirping of insects, and the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.

No, Chenbei suddenly heard some special voices.

"Crack clap..."

As if something was biting the wood, Chen Bei opened his eyes.

Hong Hua said: "It seems that you heard it too."

She pulled out a stone ax from her body, walked to a big tree nearby, searched for a while on the trunk of the big tree, and found a small hole.

"Tuk Tuk..."

Honghua cut a gap in the tree with two axes, and not long after, a white bug appeared, which was about the size of an adult's thumb.

Honghua pinched the fat worm with her fingers and pulled it out. It was three inches long and twisted back and forth in her hand.

This white worm has a pair of sharp black teeth on its head, which can easily bite through the wood. At this time, it has a mouth and bites everywhere, trying to bite the hand of the red flower.

"Damn bug, still want to bite me?"

The red flower directly chopped off the head of the bug with an axe, leaving only the white body.

Hong Hua handed the worm to Chen Bei and said, "Boss Chen, try it, this is the meat I was talking about, it tastes very good."

"Eat raw?"

"Of course, our tree tribes all eat like this."

Chen Bei was a little confused. If he fried the food until it was golden brown, he would think it was delicious food.

But this kind of wild eating method of removing the head and stuffing it into the mouth is obviously not in line with his taste.

But everyone is looking at him, you can't say I'll take it home and bake it before eating, right?

In desperation, Chen Bei had no choice but to pretend not to change his face, and removed the fat worm's intestines before stuffing it into his mouth. Because the worm was too big to swallow directly, he could only bite a few times.

To Chen Bei's surprise, this kind of worm was not as unpalatable as he had imagined, it had muscles, it tasted a bit chewy, and the taste was not bad.

Hong Hua looked at him and said, "I'm not lying to you, isn't it delicious?"

Chen Bei nodded and said, "It's really good."

Hong Hua's smile became brighter, she was obviously good at finding bugs, she quickly found two fat bugs, gave one to Chen Bei, and ate one for herself.

"People in our tree tribe eat the most fruits, followed by bugs."

"These bugs will always drill holes in the trees, and many trees are hollowed out by the bugs and eventually die. So the bugs are almost like enemies to the people of our tree tribe."

"Because we hate these bugs, we will eat them. Over time, everyone gets used to eating them, and they can also supplement nutrition."

After listening to Honghua's explanation, Chenbei realized that the reason why the tree tribe ate bugs.

While the two were talking, other members of the hunting team were also looking for bugs to eat on those trees, and even the white grass didn't change expression when they were eating bugs.

When there is a shortage of food, grass roots and bark are edible. In contrast, eating bugs is almost a delicacy.

What's more, this kind of bug is not unpalatable.

However, they didn't know that on the other side of the mysterious forest, a totem warrior named "Black Tooth" from the Zerg Tribe was jumping in anger.

"Damn it, my larva is gone again!"

Black Tooth wore an animal skin skirt around his lower body, and his upper body was naked, but with totem patterns all over it. Obviously, he was a kind of mid-level totem warrior, and he was the best among mid-level totem warriors.

On the black-toothed shoulder lay a black worm the size of a fist. It was a beetle worm. It had a hard shell, two tentacles like iron whips, and sharp teeth. It looks very fierce.

Black Tooth's face was cloudy and uncertain. The worm on his shoulder was his battle pet, and it was also a female worm.

Before that, he sent this female worm into the mysterious forest to lay eggs in that forest, hoping to cultivate a group of powerful worms by relying on the magical plants in the mysterious forest.

Unexpectedly, these larvae were eaten one after another before they grew up. According to the information fed back by the mother, there were very few larvae left in that forest.

Hei Chi has been busy for so long, but the bamboo basket fetches water in vain, how can he not jump in anger?
In fact, he really wanted to go into the mysterious forest to find out, but he didn't dare to risk himself alone.

Black Tooth thought for a long time, then said through gritted teeth, "No, we can't let it go like this, no matter who eats my baby larva, they will have to pay the price!"

Hei Zong sat cross-legged on the ground, all the black totem patterns on his body lit up, flickering with black light, like glowing bugs lying on him.

"Buzz!"

The beetle mother worm on the black-toothed shoulders flew into the sky, constantly vibrating its wings, emitting a specific frequency.

Soon, in the forest in all directions, countless beetles flew up and gathered around the mother insect, like a cloud of dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, very scary.

Black Tooth roared: "Go, kill those who eat the larvae!"

A dark light flashed in the eyes of the mother beetle, and she flew towards the mysterious forest with countless beetles.

At this time, Black Tooth's mind was almost entirely tied to the beetle mother worm. He could share vision and hearing with the beetle mother worm, which was a unique totem talent of the worm tribe.
