Li Mo's two hands had more than a hundred jin of strength, so with his strength, he managed to stabilize the egg.
Li Mo didn't dare tarry. Who knew what would happen to this strange cave without the egg?
Would his parents return to this cave abode?
So Li Mo ran as fast as he could.
Once out of the cave, Li Mo checked his bearings and ran out of the mountain.
Along the way, Li Mo couldn't help but grin at the sight of the mighty spiritual beasts' corpses.
Li Mo muttered to himself as he looked at the egg in his arms.
"You're really ruthless. But what the hell are you?
I'll see if I can eat it when I get back. "
Li Mo saw how extraordinary this egg was. If it could be eaten, it would be a great tonic.
Maybe his cultivation could even break through to the Body Tempering Stage.
"Rumble."
As he ran, Li Mo's stomach growled.
Hunger struck and Li Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly. 'If I keep eating like this, how will I feed myself in the future?'
Li Mo found an elephant's leg and carried it back.
'This is a spiritual beast's leg. How pure is the energy in a spiritual beast's flesh and blood?'
So don't look at it as an elephant leg. If the tribe could eat a fierce beast in one meal, then half an elephant leg would be enough.
Li Mo rushed back to the cave and found everyone's gloomy expression.
Li Mo looked around in bewilderment and found that only three of the brawny men who went with him had returned!
The wolf pack's sneak attack had already killed two strong men.
Now that they had gone to the mountains, they had been accidentally injured by the spirit beasts and so many of them had died. Now, there were only three adults left in this extremely small tribe who could still fight.
"Sigh."
Seeing the elephant leg on Li Mo's shoulder, they had food for the night.
But the elder's face was still melancholy. Of the ten strong men, only three remained. Today's meal was settled, but what about tomorrow?
Counting on the three strong men to feed their small tribe was unrealistic.
"Elder, the dead cannot come back to life. For the sake of everyone's survival, you need to pull yourself together.
There were many corpses of spirit beasts in the mountains.
The corpses of these spirit beasts all contain spiritual qi, so they can be preserved for a period of time. Let's take advantage of this time to quickly bring these corpses back, lest the other tribes take advantage of them. "
Li Mo put the elephant leg down and walked before the elder.
After living here for a month, Li Mo of course knew.
Around the forest, there were more than ten small tribes similar in size to theirs.
Everyone relied on the things in the mountains to survive, so the relationship between these ten or so small tribes was very tense.
"Hey, A 'Da, the three of you should go and bring the corpses back. Be careful on the way."
The elder sighed and said to a well-built man.
Right now, the elder was thinking about the development of their tribe. There were only three people left in the tribe who could hunt, so the tribe really needed food from these spiritual beasts.
"Alright!"
The man called A 'Da responded before leading the other two men outside.
"I'll go too."
Knowing that the corpses were too big, Li Mo yelled at Ah Da and chased after them.
"I'll help as well."
Ah-Tu was right behind Li Mo …
These spiritual beasts all had spiritual qi in them, so their flesh wouldn't rot for a while.
But their cultivation wasn't high, and they weren't even sentient, so their flesh couldn't be preserved for too long.
These spiritual beasts were huge, and knowing there was no point in bringing them back. They would rot if they couldn't finish them. So Li Mo's group only brought three of them.
One was, of course, the elephant that was as tall as three people, and the other was a giant eagle. Just a flap of the giant eagle's wings was comparable to the size of an adult.
The last was a tiger, but it wasn't as big. It didn't seem to have a high cultivation when it was alive.
"Counting the days, we should be able to eat them before they go bad."
Li Mo nodded as he looked at the meat in the cave.
At night, the cave continued to roast meat.
Li Mo thought they could finish half of the elephant leg, but the tribe had lost so many tribesmen.
There were not many mouths left, and the rest of the clansmen were not in a good mood. Some of the women were even crying, so they did not eat much.
Not even a quarter of the elephant's leg was eaten in this meal.
After eating, Li Mo began to ponder the egg in his arms.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang …
Li Mo knocked the egg on a boulder a few times, leaving white marks on the rock, but the black and blue eggshell didn't change.
Not to mention the eggshell breaking, there wasn't even a mark on it.
"Can this be eaten?"
Li Mo said with uncertainty as he looked at the egg.
Li Mo walked to the edge of the fire and swept it with a stick. He found a spot where the fire was the hottest and put the egg in.
"I don't believe I can't crack you open and cook you."
Li Mo muttered as he watched the egg in the fire.
But a few hours later, Li Mo 'cried'.
Li Mo had been stoking the fire a few times, but the egg still showed no signs of being cooked.
Even after half a night, Li Mo still hadn't cooked the egg.
"Li Mo, what are you doing instead of sleeping?"
Ah-Tu came to Li Mo's side to ask.
In this small tribe, Ah-Tu and the original owner of Li Mo's body, Ah Man, were about the same age, so they were close.
Li Mo corrected them a few times and the tribe no longer called him Ah Man.
"It's fine. Let's see if it's edible."
Li Mo wiped the sweat from his brow.
Ah-Tu's eyes lit up at the mention of food.
Ah-Tu picked up a 'hammer' on his back.
Say it wasn't a hammer, because it had the shape of a hammer.
But to say that it was a hammer, it was just a stone with a wooden stick stuck in the middle.
"Right, smash it."
Li Mo had forgotten. 'How could I forget to smash him open?'
"Hey!"
Ah-Tu let out a low grunt and smashed the hammer down on the egg with all his might.
However, there was only a cracking sound. The blue-black egg in the fire was fine, but the wooden stick on the hammer was broken.
"Li Mo, what kind of egg is this?!
It's over … I ruined it. Big brother Ah Da and the rest are going to scold me tomorrow. "
They thought breaking the egg would be a simple matter, but it ended up ruining their painstakingly crafted tool.
It should be known that in a tribe like theirs, these simple tools were very valuable. Therefore, when the hammer was destroyed, Ah-Tu's face turned pale with fright.
