Chapter 199: Let’s Run, Fox (XV)

TL: Sarah

   

In the woods, a group of vigorous figures quickly passed through them, chasing several avanis who were running away.

Shang Ke crouched in the tree, pulled out his long bow, and carefully aimed. The bowstring rang, and an arrow shot out. He watched as an avani cried out and fell to the ground. Shang Ke didn’t stop. He pulled back his bowstring again and pointed the arrow at the second target.

He didn’t aim at their vital points. He planned to capture a few alive and question them for the location of the oil. Even if the lions were not interested in developing at present, they should still take a hold of it. Besides, the avanis had to collect oil when they invaded another tribe. It was more efficient to cut them off from their resources than to chase them aimlessly.

However, the lions would always aim to kill when they saw avanis. They’ve still have yet to capture a single one alive after several chases.

“Fox, let’s go home.” After dealing with those avanis, Mutu waved at Shang Ke on the tree.

Shang Ke jumped lightly from the treetops and walked slowly to Mutu.

Mutu captured his waist. He bowed his head and nipped Shang Ke’s ear.

The party victorious returned to the tribe, happy and full of prey. They were passionately greeted as children swarmed up in excitement to be the first to ask about the fight.

In the split second Mutu’s attention was taken, two kits had taken his fox. That family-scene trio of foxes displeased him the more he looked.

Shang Ke bent down and scratched the nape of the two kits with his hands. The kits scrunched back his neck and happily let go of Shang Ke’s leg..

Mutu’s eyes flashed slightly. Was the nape of a fox sensitive? He will try it out tonight.

   
Shang Ke led the kits to the other children, and made a gesture of friendship, asking them to take good care of their new partners.

The oldest child immediately patted his chest and said no problem, but the kits were shy. Seeing that Shang Ke didn’t accompany them, they immediately turned and ran back to their mother.

Shang Ke looked at the fox beastwoman not too far away and frowned slightly. Without waiting for him to move, a pair of big hands pulled him to the side, and immediately, he heard Mutu’s dissatisfied voice, “Don’t get close to her.”

Shang Ke gave him a blank look. This kind of worry is unnecessary.

He had explained it yesterday, but in the end, this jealous guy tossed him all night. He probably didn’t pay attention to his explanation.

They went to the warehouse to count the prey and record each person’s harvest which they will then distribute. Two-thirds of the prey would be distributed each time, while half of the remaining one-third were given to the chief while the other half was stored. If there was less harvest on a day, the reserves in the warehouse would be used.

Nowadays, Shang Ke has begun to promote farming in the tribe. Half of the animals raised in each family were for public use while the other half were private. As it becomes more developed, this distribution mode would be changed accordingly.

Many lions and beastmen were not interested in planting fruits and vegetables. But in order to raise animals, they had to plant. The resulting green made the tribe look more lively.
