Chapter 57: Crisis Approaches, Traces of Pig-headed Men!
Just like this, after two pieces of wild boar belly meat were roasted. Lin Ye brushed the seasoning he had prepared in a stone onto the two pieces of pork. Then he put them back on the fire to roast slightly. Immediately, Sakura smelled an unprecedented aroma that wafted into her nostrils. After brushing the seasoned pork and roasting it on the fire for a short while, Lin Ye took down the two pieces of meat. “Ye, it smells so good! Is the meat cooked? Can we eat it?” Sakura, who had been eagerly waiting, saw Lin Ye take the roasted meat off the bonfire and quickly peered forward to ask. Lin Ye smiled and nodded, then handed Sakura a piece of roasted meat. Sakura quickly reached out to take the roasted meat and took a bite without hesitation. Lin Ye didn’t even have time to warn her that it was hot before Sakura had already taken a bite. The roasted meat, just taken from the bonfire, was immediately bitten by Sakura. Lin Ye watched Sakura’s mouth twitching from the heat, but she was unwilling to spit out the meat in her mouth. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Then, Lin Ye blew on the roasted meat in his hand and took a bite. The moment the pork entered his mouth, Lin Ye almost cried with emotion. He could finally eat meat with flavor. Although it was just the simplest spicy flavor, it was far better than the meat he had eaten in the past few days, which only tasted of fishiness and the meat itself, with no other flavor. Moreover, the spiciness of the chili peppers given by the system seemed just right, at a level Lin Ye could accept. However, it was Sakura’s first time eating chili roasted meat. She was continuously exhaling large breaths, her mouth burning. But despite her face being flushed red from the spice, she was still eating the roasted meat in her hands with big bites. In a short while, the roasted meat in both of their hands was finished. Lin Ye was a bit full from eating a large piece of roasted meat. Sakura was so full that she lay on the ground, her small belly bulging high. Lin Ye casually pulled off two grass leaves to wipe the oil stains from the corner of his mouth. The other Beast-eared Girls had already dried their clothes and gone to continue practicing archery with their bows and arrows. Lin Ye looked at the remaining chili peppers in the stone. There was enough for perhaps one more piece of meat. However, given the growth rate of those chili peppers, they should all be ripe by tomorrow. By then, he would let all the Beast-eared Girls taste the flavor of chili roasted meat. The chilies from a hundred plants should be enough for everyone in the tribe to eat for a while. Some chilies also needed to be saved for cultivating chili seeds. After Lin Ye finished eating the roasted meat, he sat by the bonfire to rest for a while. He also completed his daily sign-in. There were no rewards or skills from today’s sign-in. He received another hundred points. After sitting for a while, Lin Ye realized he hadn’t checked the traps today. So, he took his bow and arrow and a cow horn and set off to check the traps. However, after walking only a few steps along the usual path, Lin Ye discovered a row of footprints on the ground that did not belong to the Beast-eared Girls. These footprints were deeper and larger than Lin Ye’s own. The moment Lin Ye saw these footprints, the hairs on his body stood on end. Lin Ye followed the footprints. He discovered that the footprints were following the tracks left by him and the hunting team when they checked the traps, leading all the way near the tribe. Lin Ye followed the footprints to the trap he had dug. This time, Lin Ye found that the trap had been triggered, but there was no prey inside. Lin Ye walked around the trap. He discovered that someone had climbed up along the row of small holes Lin Ye had dug earlier. It seemed someone had fallen into the trap, luckily didn’t die, and had found the tribe’s location. Lin Ye continued to search around the trap. Finally, in the grass, Lin Ye found half of a broken stone spear. Seeing the stone spear, it was self-evident who those footprints belonged to and who had fallen into the trap. Lin Ye picked up the half stone spear and found that it had been broken recently, with a very fresh break. Lin Ye knew this day would come eventually. But he didn’t expect it to come so quickly. Lin Ye understood very well that their tribe and the Pig-headed Men’s tribe were destined for a fight to the death. Even without the deep hatred of the Xing sisters, as long as the Beast-eared Girls’ tribe was discovered by the Pig-headed Men, one of the two tribes would inevitably be wiped out. Lin Ye, holding the broken stone spear, began to return to the tribe. The tribe was about to face a great battle. Lin Ye would not deceive himself into thinking that the Pig-headed Men hadn’t discovered the tribe. Lin Ye would not sit idly by either; the Beast-eared Girls had been practicing archery for so many days precisely to protect the others in the tribe. Now, the moment of the tribe’s survival had arrived. Lin Ye had to hurry back to make arrangements. The traps had only been checked again yesterday, so the Pig-headed Men should have discovered the tribe yesterday or this morning. The Pig-headed Men shouldn’t be coming so quickly. Lin Ye still had time to set up more traps. Lin Ye’s biggest concern was the Beast-eared Girls. Although they had been together for so long, most of the Beast-eared Girls had never personally killed any animals, let alone people. Lin Ye worried that they wouldn’t be able to bring themselves to do it at the critical moment, and would end up harming themselves. Therefore, Lin Ye had an important task upon his return. That was pre-war mobilization. He had to make the Beast-eared Girls understand that if they hesitated at a crucial moment, they would not only harm themselves but also endanger everyone else in the tribe. As Lin Ye walked, he quickly flipped through the Trap Technique rewarded by the system. Lin Ye remembered that the Trap Technique contained many traps specifically designed for people. The system had even transmitted ancient military traps to him. Lin Ye continuously practiced one trap after another in his mind. Countless pieces of knowledge about setting traps also rapidly emerged in Lin Ye’s mind. However, due to the limitations of tools and materials at the moment, there were very few usable traps. Therefore, Lin Ye could only choose a few trap methods that were relatively lethal but simpler to set up, and achievable with the current conditions. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
