For a person from a civilized society, cannibalism is unacceptable.
However, he also understood that cannibalism was very common in history, otherwise there would be no such terms as eating rice and meat by exchanging children.
When people are hungry and anxious, they no longer have a moral bottom line.
Erya looked at Zhao Qian who was silent and said: "When winter comes, the weather will become very cold. Even Tanluo has to stay in the cave to withstand the cold, so there is nothing you can do then.
Go out to hunt. Of course, even if you want to go out to hunt, there won’t be any creatures in the forest. They are all hiding to avoid the cold winter.”
"Every year before the cold winter comes, all tribes will store a large amount of food, but there are always some exceptions... Do you know what the tribes will do when there is not enough food stored?"
Zhao Qian thought for a while and said: "The big tribes will attack the small tribes and plunder the food of the small tribes. As for the small tribes, they will only eat people, otherwise they will all starve to death."
"You're right!"
Erya nodded and sighed: "When I moved the tribe here, I wanted to stay away from other tribes. On the one hand, I didn't want to be plundered by the big tribes, and on the other hand, I didn't want to plunder other tribes."
Zhao Qian said: "Disciple understands."
It’s easy to understand that you don’t want to be plundered by tribes.
Rather than wanting to plunder other tribes, Erya probably couldn't help but plunder other tribes for the survival of the tribe when he was worried about the tribe's lack of food.
The solution is to move the Yanze tribe away from other tribes.
Erya said: "I am old, and sometimes I want to do something for the tribe, but I am unable to do so. But since you have such an idea, the teacher will give you this task."
Zhao Qian understood Erya's good intentions and nodded: "Teacher, please don't worry."
Erya looked at the ingredients again and said, "I don't object to how you want to deal with these things, but I have a small suggestion. Can you give some to Yanshan?"
Without waiting for Zhao Qian to ask why, Erya continued: "Yanshan is a very talented Tanluo, and he has been breaking through to the fourth level for many years. Because he only used pure-blooded beast cores when he awakened, he has been unable to do so for a long time.
When he breaks through to the fifth level, if he can have the flesh or blood of a king species beast, it may be able to speed up his breakthrough."
Zhao Qian still had a good impression of Yanshan.
This guy usually looks serious and unsmiling, but in fact he is a very fiery person at heart. He takes great care of his tribe and always thinks about the tribe. He has a high prestige in the tribe.
Therefore, he didn't mind giving these things to Yanshan.
So, he said: "Of course, no problem. If necessary, I can give him the king's elemental beast core given to me by the Wolf King."
Originally, he thought that if the level of the Yuan Beast Core given to him by Mysterious Erya was not high, he would use the King Seed Yuan Beast Core given by the Wolf King to awaken.
But apparently he was overly worried. The white Yuan Beast Core was at least of the king species, so the king species Yuan Beast Core given by the Wolf King was all that remained.
It's useless for him to hold it, so it's better to give it to Yanshan for use.
Once Yanshan breaks through, the Yanze tribe will become stronger, and the Insect tribe will have to weigh its strength if it wants to retaliate.
Erya smiled happily. He could see that Zhao Qian truly regarded him as a member of the Yanze tribe.
"If my strength gets even closer, the core of the king's beast can be used to give him a second awakening. Now, it's useless to give it to him."
The second awakening is when Erya replaces the original beast core with a better one after his breakthrough.
During this process, the realm will not change in any way, but the upper limit will be increased.
"Oh well!"
Zhao Qian pointed to the things in the bag and said, "When Yanshan comes back, he can choose these things."
Erya said: "I thank you on his behalf."
Zhao Qian said hurriedly: "Teacher, please don't do this. If the tribe hadn't taken in the three of us, we would have died long ago. A yuan beast is nothing to save our lives."
At that time, the three of them had just arrived in the black sand desert and had no idea about the surrounding environment.
If you accidentally enter the grassland, the consequences can be imagined.
At this time, a tribesman came over and said, "Master Erya, we have finished cleaning the battlefield and captured a total of thirteen Tanluo, five from the New Salt Tribe, and eight from the Insect Tribe. How should we deal with them?"
Erya's voice turned cold, "Kill them all."
"yes!"
The tribesman nodded without hesitation and turned around to carry out Erya's order.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhao Qian suddenly spoke, stopped the tribesman who was about to leave, looked at Erya and asked: "Teacher, why do you want to kill them? They are all Tanluo."
Erya explained: "It is precisely because they are Tanluo that they are killed. If they were ordinary people, they would stay as slaves, but Tanluo cannot do it, it is too dangerous."
Zhao Qian said: "Teacher, you have misunderstood me. I am not begging for mercy for them."
Hearing this, Erya had a puzzled expression on her face.
Zhao Qian replied: "Tanluo is very important to any tribe. In this case, why don't we ask their tribe to pay us a ransom and redeem them?"
"ransom?"
Erya obviously didn't understand.
Zhao Qian thought for a while and gave an example: "Teacher, think about it this way, if I was caught by the insect tribe, and the insect tribe asked you for a high-level healing domino, would you be willing to give it to me?"
Erya immediately said: "Of course I am willing."
Zhao Qian said: "This advanced healing domino is the ransom."
Erya seemed to understand and asked: "Then how many things should we ask for?"
Zhao Qian thought for a moment and said, "One Tan Luo requires two hybrid beast cores from them, so that's not too much!"
Erya asked again: "What if they don't agree?"
"Then kill him, we won't suffer any loss anyway."
Zhao Qian paused and continued: "Besides, these Tan Luo should have some savings, let them redeem themselves."
Erya's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, then I'll leave it to you to arrange it!"
Zhao Qian looked at the tribesman and ordered: "Stay Tanluo from the Insect Tribe and kill Tanluo from the New Salt Tribe."
"yes!"
The tribesman responded and went to carry out Zhao Qian's order.
Looking at the tribesmen leaving, Zhao Qian felt a little heavy in his heart. With just one word, he ruined the lives of five people.
However, he did not regret it, because he knew that these traps could not be kept.
If nothing else goes wrong, Yanshan can wipe out the New Salt Tribe this time, so it is impossible for any tribe to redeem them.
In this case, the best way is to kill them.
This is not because he is cruel, but mainly because this is the way of survival in the tribal era.
If you don't kill them today, they will kill you tomorrow.
