Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 40

Wu Xiaoyin paused at this point and looked at the tribe chief, asking, “I wonder if we can temporarily make do with wooden beds?”

Upon hearing Wu Xiaoyin’s key point, the tribe chief said, “So you mean there’s a way to preserve animal meat in bulk until the entire cold season passes?”

Wu Xiaoyin replied, “Yes. In the place where I lived before, methods like salting, pickling, and smoking could preserve food for one to three years if sealed properly. Therefore, it can definitely sustain us through the cold season in Beastman Continent.”

Hearing this, the tribe chief laughed heartily. “Xiao Xiao, you’re truly a treasure bestowed by the Beast God!”

Lei Lu heard the tribe chief’s words and emphasized, “It’s a treasure given to me by the Beast God!”

Kos, Feng, and the tribe chief all teased and laughed at Lei Lu’s words.

Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t refute Lei Lu’s comment, so he changed the topic. “Now that the harvest season has arrived, shouldn’t we start preparing?”

Kun and the others stopped laughing. Kun said, “Yes, now is the time when prey is fat and juicy. If we start storing now, we’ll have a full five months until the cold season. This way, we can be at ease that the entire tribe won’t go hungry.”

Wu Xiaoyin then raised his concern. “But won’t the number of prey decrease significantly? Will there be enough next year to meet everyone’s normal needs?”

Lei Lu, hearing such a cute question from Xiao Xiao, regretted not having told him more about the overall distribution of the Beastmen Continent. He rubbed Xiao Xiao’s head to focus his attention on him and said, “Xiao Xiao, we don’t even know how big the Beastman Continent really is. Even in the continent’s map, it’s not clearly documented. Our Giant Tiger Tribe is located in the northern part of the known continent, but the northernmost tribe is the Giant Wolf Tribe, which is the closest tribe to us and has a good relationship with us.”

“In the grasslands to the west, there are the Giant Lion Tribe and Giant Leopard Tribes, who are at odds with each other, so our conflicts with them are minimal. We have a peaceful relationship. To the south, the forests are home to the Giant Bear, Giant Fox, and Giant Snake Tribes. The Giant Bear Tribe is the closest to us and has a good relationship with us, while the Giant Fox and Giant Snake Tribes are known for their cunning and treachery, so we don’t interact much with them. To the east of the tribe all the way to the sea, we don’t know if any tribes exist. We are unsure if there is land beyond the sea or if there are any beastmen there.”

“The populations of these seven tribes are as follows: the Giant Tiger Tribe has about 5,000 members, the Giant Wolf, Giant Lion, and Giant Leopard Tribes have around 4,000 each, the Giant Bear Tribe has about 3,000, and the Giant Fox and Giant Snake Tribes have around 2,000 each. Altogether, that’s only about 24,000 people, while the number of wild beasts on the entire Beastman Continent reaches millions or even tens of millions. So how could there possibly be a significant decrease in prey?”

Hearing Lei Lu’s lengthy explanation, Wu Xiaoyin felt enlightened. Kun, Kos, and Feng agreed.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyin stupidly asked another question, “If there are far fewer beastmen than wild beasts on the continent, won’t there be wild beast tides every cold season?”

This time, Lei Lu really laughed…
