We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 84 Dali, puffed up with anger
Looking through the binoculars, he saw that the people talking to Damon were all quite large.

No, it shouldn't be described as huge, but rather as enormous!
In modern society, Xia Minghao wouldn't be surprised.

The obesity rate is already high, and there are a huge number of weirdos on the internet, so you can easily find videos of severely obese people.

However, this was the primitive era!

Being able to eat your fill is good enough; how could you possibly end up with a huge stomach like these people in front of you?

Just outrageous!
For a moment, Xia Minghao, using his modern mindset and accumulated knowledge, couldn't guess what the reason was.

The three people were dressed in the same reed skirts as the Da tribe, and they were carrying a bulging animal skin bag, the contents of which were unknown.

There was no sign of groundbreaking technology or scientific progress whatsoever.

How could someone have such high productivity and get so fat?

With a step forward, Xia Minghao instinctively wanted to go forward and ask these fat men from the primitive era for some clarification.

But after thinking about it, I stopped.

This is the Da tribe...

It's best not to act rashly. It's safer to wait until we ask Damon before making a decision.

Anyway, these people aren't going to run away, so the safest way is to make contact with them through appropriate means. It's not worth worrying about this little bit.

"leave!"

Just as I was about to put down the binoculars, I suddenly heard Shifa shout.

Xia Minghao immediately turned his head to look.

The bulging beaver skin immediately came into view.

My gaze moved upwards, and there I saw the face that had left a deep impression on me.

This is not the daughter of Damon, the chief of the Da tribe, or the granddaughter of the wise man, I think her name is something like Dali.

As Dali approached, she kept glancing in Damon's direction, seemingly worried that her father would discover she had sneaked over.

Dali ignored Shifa's rebuke until she stood in front of Xia Minghao and spoke.

“I want wolves from the Xia tribe, little wolves.”

"I'll secretly give you stone tools, stone tools that can kill animals. You give me the little wolf."

Stone tools?

Looking at Dali's expectant face, Xia Minghao immediately realized what she meant.

I guess those are the stone weapons we saw back then...

Indeed, those were considered to have reached the highest level of Stone Age weapons, but they had already found their own iron ore and were just waiting for malachite to appear so they could rush into the Iron Age.

You're talking to me about the Stone Age?

What's the use of that thing as a hammer? It can't even be used to hammer iron.

If you told me about the stone tool makers in your tribe, that would be fine; I could go back and train a stonemason.

But those broken stone artifacts held no appeal whatsoever.

Dali stood in front of Xia Minghao, and after catching the expression on his face, her expectant smile instantly froze.

An anger surged up in my chest instantly.

Dali had never imagined that the chief of the Xia tribe would refuse.

He had seen the surprise and fear of other tribes when they saw stone tools, and he had also seen many people who joined the Da tribe overjoyed after obtaining hunting stone tools.

She certainly didn't understand why these people were reacting this way, because stone tools increased their chances of survival. All she knew was that the Da tribe's stone tools were good, and none of the other tribes had them.

At this moment, Dali's anger stemmed partly from the disappointment of her expectations and partly from her visit to the Xia tribe.

The stone tools in the Xia tribe were very poor, but she was able to make them, and the bear bones were also poorly crafted.

They are nowhere near as good as our own Da tribe!
But now they seem to look down on it.

"You think our stone tools aren't powerful?"

"Uh... amazing, amazing..."

Is this how all women act when they argue?

Seeing Dali with her hands on her hips, her breathing becoming rapid, and a flush rising on her face, I noticed that she was standing there with her hands on her hips.

Her chest heaved more and more violently, and looking at the small beaver skin, it seemed as if it were about to burst open at any moment. Xia Minghao had never seen Dali behave like this before, nor had he ever seen any other primitive people.

It is estimated that this unique identity and the circumstances of the Da tribe led to a completely different upbringing compared to other primitive people.

"Our stone tools are powerful, why not give them to my little wolf?"

Dali continued speaking loudly, her tone even carrying a hint of accusation.

“The little wolf belongs to the Xia tribe and will not leave the Xia tribe.”

Xia Minghao was not prepared to have any more meaningless exchanges with Dali, the daughter of the tribal chief who was "privileged and pampered".

I'm going to head towards Damon's direction to find out what's going on with this tribe.

If we live nearby, we can conveniently visit the other tribe along the way and see if we can solve the mystery of their enormous stomach, which is quite bizarre in this primitive era.

“Xia tribe, I’ll give you two stone tools, and you give me a little wolf.”

Seeing that Xia Minghao was not like the others in the Da tribe who simply ignored him, he decided to speak first, even though he was prepared to get angry later.

Xia Minghao ignored her until he had walked quite a distance before turning back to look at Dali again.

Dali was kicking a small stone in a fit of anger.

He chuckled to himself and was about to continue walking when he suddenly heard a cry of pain from beside him.

"Chief, this hurts."

She was a woman from the Xi clan. She pointed to her thigh and then to a blade of grass growing on a relatively flat patch of ground near the swamp.

Grass?
The grass grows very low and is not eye-catching. Moreover, it is quite scattered, and you can't see any others unless you look closely.

Xia Minghao walked over to the plant and squatted down to examine it closely.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

Isn't this the nettle I used to stick in my hair when I was a kid?
Xia Minghao could never forget the excruciating pain he felt at the time.

After taking a few more glances and confirming that it was nine-tenths or even ten-tenths similar to nettles, a look of even greater joy than when he had seen the wild duck flashed in his eyes.

This is definitely nettle!

The reason for his joy was that Xia Minghao was very clear about the effects of nettles.

When Xia Minghao was learning about the history of World War II, he was quite surprised to see that nettles, which had harmed him, had been used by Germany in textiles.

I became even more curious when I learned that nettles were actually involved in modern textile production.

After a brief inquiry, I learned that nettle plant fibers, when used in textiles, possess high toughness, high strength, and are soft and absorbent.

Xia Minghao originally wanted to find sisal to supplement his animal skin clothing, but after looking around, he couldn't find any at all.

I had given up all hope, but then I unexpectedly encountered nettles!

It's just a bit complicated to process, but in other aspects, it's just as good as any textile material.

"Quickly touch it, quickly touch it."

While I was still pondering about nettles, I suddenly heard a soft murmur behind me.

Turning around, I saw that it was Dali.

Dali stopped kicking the stone to vent her anger and followed him over, looking at Xia Minghao's hand.

When Dali realized that the Xia tribe members were looking at her, she understood that she had actually spoken her mind.

Seeing Dali's reaction, Xia Minghao was speechless. Dali was quite pretty, but he didn't expect her to be so vengeful.

Just because I didn't switch with her, she's holding a grudge against me now and wants me to touch her.

This is not good...

If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely have to fine-tune it...

"Chief of the Xia tribe, don't touch it, that's a biting plant!"

A roar came from afar; it was Damon rushing back.

Upon seeing Xia Minghao about to touch the nettles, he hurriedly said...

Biting grass?
Given its name, it seems the Da tribe hasn't yet discovered the value of this nettle...
