Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

"What about now? Can you tell me that you are willing to join Tianlang?"

……

Cheng frowned, saying nothing, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.

a long time.

Cheng opened his mouth slowly, almost gritting his teeth, and the words came out one by one...

It seemed as if this decision was the biggest one in his life...

"Lei, I want you to swear! You will never oppress us or humiliate us!"

"Lei, the 26th chief of the Tianlang tribe, hereby swears an oath.

If the Guyu tribe joins the Tianlang, they will be considered an integral part of the Tianlang. They will be given the same status, obligations, and rights, and will not be treated differently!

We will never oppress or humiliate them!

If you break this oath, heaven and earth will punish you!"

……

"Okay! From today on, I will lead all members of the Guyu Tribe and willingly join the Tianlang.

Never abandon, never betray; let's work together for the future of Sirius!

If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth! "

……

As soon as the two finished talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

This wind blew around the two groups of Tianlang and Guyu, and many leaves in the center were lifted up, flying and spinning in the air...

Sang Tian had seen this kind of scene several times, but every time it seemed so magical...

This continent is by no means as simple as it appears.

The laws of heaven and earth are here, they really exist!

……

There are 53 people in the Guyu tribe.

But from this moment on, they are no longer part of the Guyu tribe!

They have a common name, Sirius!

At this moment, there are 301 Tianlang people!

From what Sang Tian knew, among all the tribes around here, there were only a few with 200 people...

A tribe of over 300 people is something I've never seen before! The Sirius is now the only one standing out!

While she was happy, Sang Tian's inner defenses were also increasing.

The strength of the tribe has increased significantly, but this also shows.

From now on, other tribes will keep their eyes on Sirius!

Some will become friends with Tianlang, while others will regard Tianlang as a thorn in their side!

This is the pressure of becoming the strongest!

……

"Where is the hole you dug?"

"Oh, it's right there on the mountain. You should have rested there when you came here!"

Oh, there it is!

and many more……

Mountains, caves, cave bears?

Sang Tian seemed to have thought of something, and his face drooped unsightly.

"You dug the hole half a year ago?"

"Yup!"

It was clearly spring when everyone passed by that place and there were no cave bears!

In just six months, a top predator moved in...

Cang seemed to have connected something and asked quickly: "Where did you dig the hole? We made some adjustments there, but we didn't see any cave!"

"Hey! Speaking of this, I think I'm a genius! I'm just afraid of being found by giant bones and matsutake mushrooms after migration.

I didn't dig the hole outside! We dug it inside the mountain!

You'd never guess the entrance to the cave! It's a tunnel! There's a layer of animal bones covered with dirt and grass at the entrance. Just cover it up when you get out! You can't even see it!

It took us two years to dig this! It's so huge! Warm in the winter and cool in the summer!

Hey, just thinking about it makes me admire your brain! It’s amazing! "

Just when Cheng was boasting proudly, Lei kicked him!

"Oh my god! Lei, what are you doing!"

"What am I doing? The hole you dug nearly killed us!"

"Fart, how is that possible!"

……

Yes, such a hidden cave entrance cannot be discovered by human power.

But don’t forget why cave bears are called cave bears! They have a natural instinct for digging and finding holes!

What humans cannot discover, it can easily find!

This is a unique talent given to it by nature!

There were no cave bears when everyone passed by the Spring Fair, but after the cave was completed, a big one moved in!

Relying on their innate keen perception of caves, they found the "home" that the Guyu tribe had dug to escape...

And he took the initiative and moved in!

Of course, they are not that smart and would not open the door of the animal bone cave and crawl in.

They must have found a more secluded place and dug themselves into the mountain to live in.

No wonder Feng and Xu didn't detect it...

They are natural masters of digging holes, not to mention that animals are better at hiding and foreseeing danger than humans!

……

Cheng wanted to cry but couldn't explain: "Brother! Listen to me! I really didn't know! I am innocent!"

……

I didn’t expect that the cave bear we met last night was actually a gift prepared by our good brother for our big brother!

The person has not arrived yet, but the great gift has arrived!

He is indeed a good "little brother" to the big brother!

……

"Okay, I'll settle the score with you when I get back!

There's only one top predator in each area. Now that the blind bear is dead, the cave is safe, so move in quickly!

Oh, by the way, I guess the food you stockpiled has already become someone else’s meal!

I'll give you this cave bear corpse, and with the dried meat you brought with you, you should be able to easily last for ten days!

When we return from the autumn trade fair, we'll reunite at Tianlang after reaching that mountain range!"

……

Why is there only one apex predator in a place, rather than multiple?

This is the power of natural selection, and it is also the power of animals to seek benefits and avoid harm.

First, top predators typically require large amounts of food resources to survive and reproduce. If there are multiple top predators, the resources in the area will not be able to support the survival of multiple top predators, leading to resource depletion.

Second, a region's ecosystem needs to maintain a relative balance. If there are multiple top-tier animals, their numbers and activities could have a disproportionate impact on the survival and reproduction of other organisms, disrupting the ecological balance.

Third, the top animals at the top of the food chain have a very strong sense of territory. Whether for survival or safety, they will never tolerate other large animals entering their territory.

This is a joint common consciousness of both nature's self-repair and the animals' own survival.

This cave bear has a very strong sense of territory. When Tianlang and his group were resting in the mountain, it appeared and attacked them.

Moreover, with its large size, it needs a huge living space.

There will only be one big beast like it in that place!

Now that the cave bear has just died, that area is temporarily safe.

But they couldn't be careless. Lei repeatedly told them to check carefully after arriving at the site. After entering the cave, they should also find the entrance dug by the cave bear and seal it tightly!

Prevent other animals from entering through the hole.

……

Cheng swallowed his saliva: "Brother...you are...you mean to give us all the blind bear meat...I didn't hear it right..."

"Yes, you heard wrong, I won't give it to you."

"Hey, brother, I was wrong. You're the best! Make sure you eat this bear clean."

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen so much meat at once in a long time!

Cheng has a bit of revenge consumption mentality and is thinking about getting rid of this bear in the next few days!

It’s okay to eat five meals a day.

Hurry up and nourish the tribesmen. Look, they are all as thin as firewood sticks.

He, the leader, also feels very uncomfortable...

……

"Then let's go, big brother! Come and take us home quickly!"

"Once we get there, we'll check it out first. Make sure it's completely clear of any danger before checking in! Then, quickly get some food so everyone can have a good meal!"

"Woo woo woo, big brother is so good to his little brothers!"

……

Sang Tian could even see some females in the crowd shedding tears as they looked at the pile of bear meat...

The old people looked at the meat, their eyes full of emotion. They seemed to be celebrating, regretting, looking back...

The kid looked at the meat and drooled.

The males were all silent at this time, their faces solemn...

I was thinking: I must repay Tianlang well...

……

They walked further and further down the road until they were out of sight.

The Tianlang people also continued on their journey...
