Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 527: Chapter 518: The Great Chief 36

Although Jian knew that the Power Tribe wouldn’t ignore the Lanshan Tribe, when he saw the abundance of jerky, baskets of Biting Fish, the towering White Stone Fruit, the previously given sweet and soft Sweet Potato, various dried wild vegetables, and sweet wild fruit dries, he found the variety of food unbelievable!

Upon seeing so much stuff, Jian’s first reaction wasn’t joy, but a rush to decline. If the Power Tribe were to starve because they helped the Lanshan Tribe, Jian would absolutely refuse.

Understandably, Jian had close relatives in the Power Tribe, and emotionally, he felt no different toward the Power Tribe and the Lanshan Tribe, so he naturally didn’t want the Power Tribe to starve for helping Lanshan Tribe.

Seeing how Jian wouldn’t agree to accept these things no matter what they said, Ben and Yu had no choice but to take Jian to tour the Power Tribe’s food reserves.

Witnessing the Biting Fish hanging all over the cave top, the jerky resembling a meat forest, the sight of the White Stone Fruit stacked so high it looked terrifying, the giant Sweet Potato pile, numerous dried wild vegetables, and the near a hundred baskets of various dried wild fruits stacked in boxes and shelves.

Seeing these reserves, Jian’s jaw dropped in shock! He never truly grasped the concept of the tribe saying they were sufficient with food until he saw it with his own eyes. It was not a little extra food; it was an abundant supply.

Looking at the mountain of food before him, Jian thought the Power Tribe’s stock was enough to sustain the entire Lanshan Tribe for two years. With this perspective, the previously given items seemed insignificant compared to the reserves.

Despite his surprise and amazement, Jian did not show greed or any intent to use the situation to ask for more, merely accepting the food offered by the Power Tribe with genuine happiness for their prosperity.

As he was leaving, Yan Shuangshuang suddenly remembered the cold-season problem of keeping warm, and she ran to the place where spices were stored, grabbed many chili beans, and even took a large stone pot, intending for Jian to take them along.

Drinking a hot and spicy meat soup during winter could be lifesaving for those in the cold. As for why Yan Shuangshuang didn’t provide Flaming Grass and salt fruit, it’s because salt fruit had already been given and the hyenas were only interested in the jerky, not the salt fruit.

Flaming Grass served more as a seasoning. Although people in the Power Tribe recently became fond of gastronomy thanks to improved living conditions, if they were still struggling with food, no delicacy would be more attractive than a hunt offering a full meal, similarly for the Lanshan Tribe today; nothing matters more than eating enough.

While salt and chili beans also serve as seasonings, they both have essential survival uses—one increases physical strength, the other wards off the cold—unlike Flaming Grass, which is purely for flavor.

To ensure the Lanshan Tribe could smoothly endure the cold season, the Power Tribe continuously transported four rounds of food to them. After hearing Jian discuss the Power Tribe’s reserves, the initially reluctant Lanshan Tribe finally accepted the supplies, no longer fearing the Power Tribe would starve by helping them.

After delivering supplies to the Lanshan Tribe, the Power Tribe felt relieved, thinking there would be no further issues this winter, so they now just waited for the cold season to pass, eager to resume hunting and run through the forest.

This cold season, due to good nourishing conditions, Hunting Team members full of spiritual power with nowhere to expend began training themselves excessively, while also training those in the tribe with average physiques.

After a season of intense training, among the thirty-six members of the Power Tribe, twenty-three became part of the Hunting Team, including several women who were previously protected due to inadequate physical fitness.

However, primitive aesthetics differ from modern ones; they don’t favor weak girls, instead, valorizing combat strength. These protected women didn’t find joy in their treatment; they only felt useless.

After being able to eat their fill, these women swore to improve their physiques, willingly enduring hardships during training.

While lacking physical strength, they excelled in endurance, using greater stamina than men to extend training time and duration.

Hard work paid off, and after intense practice, the women’s physiques began advancing rapidly, with combat abilities increasingly growing.

Take Feicao, for instance. She was already the strongest woman in the Hunting Team, surpassing some men, especially after this training during the cold season; she managed to defeat Da Shi, second only to Ben and Tie, bare-handed.

The result caused Da Shi to petrify like his name, then crumble into pieces, failing twice more when challenging Feicao and slipping into a corner to sob!

Yan Shuangshuang found it puzzling; primitive people didn’t discriminate against women, so if Da Shi was defeated by Feicao, he should either train more in dissatisfaction or admire Feicao’s strength. His reaction wasn’t fitting.

Yan Shuangshuang curiously poked Da Shi crouching in the corner, growing mushrooms, and asked, ”Brother Da Shi, why do you mind being defeated by Sister Feicao so much? It should be normal; Sister Feicao has always been impressive. Your strengths were similar before, so her winning isn’t surprising. Do you feel Sister Feicao shouldn’t beat you because she’s a woman?”

Da Shi looked at Yan Shuangshuang with a strange gaze and said, ”Feicao beating me is expected; she trains harder. I just didn’t expect her to beat me so soon, and it has nothing to do with her being a woman.”

Yan Shuangshuang was momentarily stunned, then felt a bit embarrassed by Da Shi’s strange gaze, since she was used to judging this world’s men by Earth men’s standards, thinking they, too, disliked strong women.

Yan Shuangshuang awkwardly coughed, blushing slightly, and tilting her head said, ”Oh, I just blurted it out. Brother Da Shi, you still haven’t told me why you care about being beaten by Feicao.”

Da Shi heard and replied dismally, ”Not much, just that Feicao is impressive and keeps improving quickly. I’m afraid I’ll fall behind and not be able to catch up, worrying whether Feicao might not like me anymore!”
