Chapter 267 The wild beasts outside don't know these things at all.
"And..." Python frowned and added, "Back then, the Frostfire tribe didn't rely on hunting for a living."
"Huh?" Jiang Luoluo was taken aback.
"what??"
"No... huh???"
The Frostfire Tribe... wasn't it a tribe that lived by hunting before?!
Jiang Luoluo was completely shocked; her worldview had been turned upside down.
The python was amused by Jiang Luoluo's shocked expression and said a few more things.
“There are no hunting grounds as vast as the Taz Forest outside, nor are there so many wild beasts waiting for us to hunt. How could we possibly support hundreds of thousands of people by hunting alone?”
Jiang Luoluo thought about it for a moment, and it was indeed true.
Even now, if a tribe has tens of thousands of members, hunting becomes extremely difficult.
Because the number of wild beasts outside the Taz Forest is no longer enough, they need to go extremely deep into the forest. However, once they go deep into the Taz Forest, the mortality rate of the tribe will immediately increase.
It takes at least twenty years to train a qualified orc warrior, but a single hunt can take away dozens or even hundreds of orc warriors.
Even the most abundant wealth cannot withstand such depletion.
Furthermore, weather and environmental factors also play a role. Whether it is drought or flood, it will affect plant growth and further affect the number of wild animals.
"And..." Python's expression turned slightly cold, though he still seemed to be smiling. Jiang Luolu could tell that it was just an illusion.
He was talking about something that made him unhappy.
"The wild beasts outside are not as ferocious as those in the Taz Forest."
Why did the Frostfire Tribe choose to settle on the riverbank after crossing the river, and even decide to eat unpalatable soft-shelled turtles—even though the Taz Forest was just nearby?
Of course, at the beginning, the Frostfire Tribe had never encountered such a ferocious beast!
Rabbits can burrow underground! Stone rats can turn into stone! Wind-chasing weasels can control the wind!
Damn it! The wild beasts outside don't know any of these things! They don't!
And those enormous beasts in the Taz Forest are things I've never seen anywhere else!
And then there are those plants that can grow in a day, with leaves as sharp as knives, not to mention some that even have various kinds of poison... Python really doesn't want to think about it anymore, after all, he died here, and thinking about it makes him feel a kind of powerless anger.
However, the advantage of the Frostfire Tribe is that they never yield to powerful opponents. After paying a sufficient price, they built Silver Peak Mountain little by little with their own hands.
They recreated a space suitable for their survival.
Jiang Luoluo was moved by the indomitable spirit of the tribespeople.
Then I asked about the growing time of the plants outside.
"It seems to grow once a year, but I haven't paid much attention. I have heard the waiters mention things like spring planting and autumn harvest."
The python answered.
Jiang Luoluo scratched her forehead, feeling like she was starting to grow a brain.
"So outside, it's the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, not the season of big beasts, the season of small beasts, the rainy season, and the snowy season?"
Python looked at Jiang Luoluo in surprise, "Of course, how could there be such harsh seasonal changes outside? The people of other tribes are not our Yanshuang tribe, how could they survive in such harsh weather?"
But this answer seemed to hurt Jiang Luoluo's fragile heart more than anything else. Jiang Luoluo was too weak to ask any further questions, waved her hand, and went back to her home.
That night, Jiang Luoluo lay in bed and suddenly opened her eyes.
"No, why?! How come people outside can live in such normal weather?!"
Knowing that the people outside were playing "easy-level survival mode" made Jiang Luoluo feel even more miserable.
What's more painful than knowing you're not doing well is seeing others doing well.
If the world were just as cruel, Jiang Luoluo would think it was fair.
But when she learned that she was experiencing a snow season with temperatures of minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius, or even over 100 degrees Celsius, while people outside were probably just playing around with temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius... or even less than minus 30 degrees Celsius, then it's no wonder Jiang Luoluo gritted her teeth in resentment.
Why is Jiang Luoluo's emotion so intense?
Because the snow season is coming soon—after Jiang Luoluo gave out a round of soft-shelled turtles and received a round of return gifts, time passed so quickly.
Yuan and Shou's child was born recently. It's a girl who looks more like Shou and has a skin tone that's a bit like Yuan's... She's quite dark-skinned.
Jiang Luoluo sent a lot of glycerin over, all of which Xing brought, and she herself didn't need it.
Knowing that glycerin is a good necessity for children, Yuan and Shou did not refuse. However, one day they quietly brought over several more birds, the kind that Jiang Luoluo had approved as having a delicious taste.
It took a long time to finally catch it – because making feather blankets has become popular in the tribe, and people often catch birds, making it not as easy as before.
Many clever birds have begun to mark Silver Peak Mountain as a dangerous area and have chosen to avoid it on their flight routes.
However, because the tribespeople were willing to spend money on bait to lure the birds, they took a gamble and actually attracted quite a few birds.
There are just too many monks and not enough meat; no matter how many birds there are, it still doesn't seem like enough.
It was only after eating these birds that Jiang Luoluo realized what she had forgotten... she had forgotten the bird eggs Mao had given her!
So he quickly picked out the egg, which was about the length of a forearm, from his pile of things—he wasn't sure if it was a bird egg; Mao had found it in the nest of a small wild animal.
Those small wild animals are viviparous, not oviparous, so we can rule out that they are its offspring. Therefore, the eggs must have been stolen by it from other wild animals.
It's just that we don't know if it's a bird's egg or some other animal's egg.
First, snake eggs can be ruled out. Jiang Luoluo knows that snake eggs have soft shells. Eggs with hard shells like these, which are like stones, must contain creatures with sharp claws or beaks.
Otherwise, the shell won't break open.
But it doesn't really matter what kind of egg it is, because Jiang Luoluo is going to eat it.
The reason I didn't eat it at first was because I didn't have any tomatoes and couldn't make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Now that I've remembered, there's no need to keep it anymore.
However, Jiang Luoluo chose boiled eggs over scrambled eggs.
Without tomatoes, scrambled eggs lose their deliciousness.
Boiled eggs are more to Jiang Luoluo's liking. In addition, Jiang Luoluo also wants to try how big the yolk of such a big egg is.
Jiang Luoluo is actually the kind of person who only eats the yolk of boiled eggs, always feeling that the yolk in boiled eggs is too small and not enough to eat.
Now that such a large, unidentified egg is in front of her, Jiang Luoluo is determined to try it.
"Go, boil some water! We're having this for dinner tonight!"
