The priest remained unmoved, still smiling as he looked at him. "Whether you give it to me or not is not important."
Even though Snake One was already too weak to move, he was instantly filled with strength when he saw Ze.
Like grasping at a last straw, the snake lunged at Ze, biting his arm and beginning to suck his blood.
Ze felt his blood being drained away little by little, and everyone watched as Snake's bloody wound slowly healed until it was no longer visible.
But Snake One did not stop; instead, it continued to suck the food.
Ze began to feel chest tightness and his vision went black. He gasped for air like a dehydrated fish.
Finally, he began to convulse in pain, begging the snake to stop.
From hysterical crying to final silence.
The snake only stopped after sucking the dried blood again.
Yu Bing looked at Ze, who was motionless, and tears streamed down her face. Her vision blurred, and she could not see anything in front of her.
"Ze! My child!"
Yu Bing struggled violently, but her body was held firmly and she could not move.
In the struggle, the stone spear pierced through Yu Bing's body. Her eyes widened as she stared at her child, then she breathed her last.
As Ze gradually regained consciousness, he heard Yu Bing's earlier call and looked in her direction.
He realized that he no longer had a mother.
Tears streamed down her face, her voice hoarse, for she was in very poor health and could only sob softly.
Mother, go quickly, leave me behind. Don't worry about me, just live on...
Mother...
I was wrong. I will never let anyone drink my blood again.
Mother...
Mother, come back...
The priest looked at Ze, having witnessed the power of Ze's blood, and his whole being radiated joy. "Take him back to the tribe, bind his hands and feet with thorny vines, and feed him herbal soup every day to make him lose his strength."
After explaining the matter to Ze, he added, "Quickly send Yu Bing to the cannibals to be made into a human meat person."
The old priest urged them to hurry up. The cannibals were willing to give them the priest's blood this time because they had promised to send them a level six orc warrior by tomorrow.
If the time is missed, the cannibals will definitely come to cause trouble for the tribe.
Upon hearing that his mother was to be sent to be a human sacrifice, Ze used all his strength to crawl toward Yu Bing.
They wanted to stop it.
He knew that anyone who became a flesh-and-blood human would have their soul devoured by cannibals and would no longer be able to be summoned by the Beast God.
The priest of the Ze tribe stepped on Yao Ze's hand, which was about to touch Yu Bing, and said, "If you don't obey, I'll cut off your hands and feet. Anyway, divine blood doesn't need hands and feet."
Ze stood frozen in place, slowly raising his head to look at the priest whose smile was as gentle as ever.
At such a young age, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He can't have his hands and feet cut off, otherwise he'll never have another chance to avenge his mother.
For the next ten years or so, he lived in a dark, lightless cave.
Every day, they have to endure the agonizing pain of having all their blood drained and dying once or even several times.
From initially thinking about revenge every day, to eventually, in the endless darkness and pain, he slowly forgot about his mother.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Shen Nong felt a chill on her face.
Warm fingertips gently stroked his eyes. "Don't cry."
Shen Nong instinctively wanted to slap away the hand that was resting on her face, but she held back.
“Ze, I want to keep fishing in that big river. Help me drive away the Ze tribe, they're a nuisance.”
Ze's fingertips lingered on Shen Nong's face. He stared intently at Shen Nong, his eyes shining brightly. "Okay."
With red eyes, Shen Nong squatted down in front of the earthenware pot again to look at the fish soup.
The system sobbed, "Waaah, why did you say you wanted Ze to help you drive away the Ze tribe? You could have just said you wanted to avenge him and made him happy."
Shen Nong lifted the lid to check the progress of the fish soup, and the aroma of incense immediately wafted out.
“Idiot, if Ze really wanted me to help him get revenge, he would have asked long ago.” The rising mist obscured Shen Nong’s face as he replied to the system, “He doesn’t want the Mu tribe involved.”
The system kept twitching and muttering, "He watched his mother die, and his mother also watched her child being drained of blood and dying in agony."
Shen Nong got a headache from the system's nagging. "Shut up, or I'll complain."
The system immediately stopped crying and started to get angry, "Host, you have no heart!"
Shen Nong needed the system's help, so she tolerated it.
"Do you have any functions like extracting people's memories?"
What do you want to do?
"I need you to make a holographic projection."
The system instantly understood what Shen Nong was going to do and quickly said, "Yes! But you and Ze must hold hands and make eye contact."
Shen Nong frowned, "What kind of method is this?"
Clasping your hands together is like connecting to a computer. Looking at each other is like looking at the screen.
[I'm inside your mind, host. This is the only way.]
Shen Nong said impatiently, "I know."
He gets terrified at the thought of having physical contact with someone.
I should have known better than to ask.
——
The fish soup was simmered until it turned pure white and exuded a fresh aroma.
Adding a little salt for simple seasoning makes the soup extremely delicious.
Hu Xiao got a bowl of fish soup, and just smelling it made his mouth water.
The moment I took a sip, my tongue felt like it was going to explode with freshness—it was so delicious!
After removing the scales, the fish meat becomes extremely soft. The fish skin also becomes tender after long-term stewing.
The taste is no longer bitter or fishy, but only incredibly fresh and fragrant.
Hu Xiao gulped down the fish soup.
From now on, if anyone tells him that the fish doesn't taste good, he'll get angry with them.
We didn't catch many fish this time, except for the big ones used to make fish skin clothing and fish skin line.
Everyone in the tribe got one, and they were distributed in large quantities, leaving very few.
The fish skin that has been peeled off needs to be dried in the sun, and then pounded to soften it before it can be sewn into clothes and fish skin thread.
Once the fish oil is almost cooked, put it directly into a ceramic jar and seal it.
Once the bighead carp skin is dried, apply it to the surface to create fish skin threads.
The water here is unpolluted, and the fish are free of human-caused impurities. The fish oil can be used as a type of animal oil for the tribe to consume.
The skinned fish meat was distributed, and the tribe had many ways of eating it: some simmered it in pits, some boiled it, and some preserved it with salt.
Shen Nong finished the fish soup and ate the fish meat, feeling completely satisfied.
I started to recall what I had said before.
Actually, Yu Bing should have been able to run away with Ze at that time.
If it weren't for the blood of the cannibalistic priests.
Shen Nong remembered that Yang Lei and Yang Dian had told him about the cannibalistic priests, and that they were not attacking the Ze tribe.
They were deliberately trying to cause trouble for them.
The cannibal priest, seeking revenge for his tribe, specifically targeted the lone sheep, Lei and Dian, from the Wood Tribe.
If he wasn't mistaken, it must have been his shot that had a deterrent effect.
People are always more afraid when faced with things they don't know.
Even primitive people were no exception.
The blood of cannibal priests can suppress orc transformations, which is indeed a tricky situation.
The meaning of "listen" is that the tribes here would use orc warriors to exchange for the blood of cannibals' priests.
If the cannibals want to cause trouble for the Wood Tribe, we need to come up with a plan.
Shen Nong's mind conjured up images of various weapons; he needed both weapons for combat and other purposes.
We cannot rely solely on transformation and brute force to win.
"Priest! The people of the Ze tribe have arrived!"
Shen Nong chuckled lightly, too lazy to make the trip himself.
How many people came?
"Fifteen people."
Shen Nong raised an eyebrow. Only fifteen people?
Is this overconfidence, or is it underestimating their Wood Tribe?
