Primitive Once Again

ater first!” Eim hurriedly stopped Carat, only to hear a ‘plop’ sound, and the chicken was already thrown in.

 

An even higher pitched scream resounded–

 

“AAAAHHH! That’s my Louis you’re throwing!” Black went crazy, jumping into the pot with a loud roar.
He scooped out Louis who was energetically treading in the water.

 

“Chirp?” Louis, who had his first experience playing with water, actually felt quite nice.

 

“Ah… Apologies..
Thank goodness the water has not been heated.” Carat tilted his head and waited for Black to climb out of the pot, panting, before throwing in another chicken in, and the next.”

 

“You’re… Not going to change the water?” Eim weakly reminded from one side.

 

“Oh…” Carat tilted his head again.
“It’s not dirty, so just leave it.”

 

And so, when the warriors of the tribe returned, they were greeted with a large pot of boiled chicken.

 

Looking at the chicken which still had feathers and seemed to die wrongfully, the hunters let out a sigh, accustomed to this.

 

“Is it delicious?” Looking at Sita biting on the chicken leg with a face of death, Eim swallowed his saliva.

 

Sita chewed for a long time, before painfully swallowing the chicken, then drinking some water to cleanse her palate, and finally answered, “How could that be?! Carat’s cooking skills are way worse than mine!”

 

“Then, why do you still get him to prepare your meals?” Eim asked weakly.

 

“Because Carat knows magic.” Sita took another vicious bite of meat.
“The food he makes lets us feel stronger.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Don’t just stand there, you guys haven’t eaten for an entire day.
Aren’t you hungry? Quickly eat.” Sita said, before pulling out an entire chicken for all of them.

 

Eim looked at the chicken in front of him with some doubt.

 

He really wanted to try the chicken that was said to make people stronger, but the dying look on its face was really horrifying, and made the chicken look extra disgusting.

 

“Black, this is for you guys!” Fendi ran up to them from who knew where, holding a chicken wrapped in leaves in his hand.
“I baked this chicken, it should taste much better than that!”

 

Fendi looked at them with anticipation after he finished speaking.

 

“… I won’t eat it.” Looking at the dead Kantas wrapped in leaves, Black shook his head firmly.

 

Louis was hungry, and faced with the temptation of the baked chicken, he was slightly unable to bear his hunger, and just when he wanted to jump out to take a bite, Black hugged him back gently but with much strength.

 

“Darling, we can’t eat that, that’s a Kantas.” White’s voice softly sounded in his ear, causing Meng Jiuzhao to be stunned.

 

He suddenly remembered, in their eyes, this wasn’t just a chicken, but someone of the same race, a Kantas.

 

It was recorded in books that in ancient times, during the uncivilised era, Kantas never ate one of the same species.
Even in dire circumstances, living Kantas would never eat their companions’ corpses.

 

For this reason, some scholars believed that the Kantas were a very united species.
They weren’t just united, but also affectionate.
Even if they were considered invaders who had a different, ruthless way of handling matters, they were always compassionate towards those of the same species.

 

Seeing the serious expressions on Black and White’s faces, Meng Jiuzhao’s mouth opened and closed, but he finally decided not to say anything.

 

He thought of Gulunza, then himself, who was always tenderly treated, and thought: Perhaps the heavens arranged for him to be reborn as the child of two Kantas to let him better understand the Kantas species that he regarded as enemies in his past life.

 

While Meng Jiuzhao was still lost in his thoughts, Black’s voice sounded again–

 

“Grandpa said before that Kantas meat is the most unpalatable in the world.
Not only is it difficult to swallow, if you eat it, it will make you constipated for many days, so you must definitely not eat it!”

 

Meng Jiuzhao was immediately brought out from his thoughts: ￣▽￣

 

Damn! So this is the real reason!

 

It turns out that my esteemed[1] grandpa had eaten Kantas meat before?

 

Return my feelings back to me aaahhhhh!
