C9 Gluttony Is the Common Language
Du Kang was awakened by the smell of food.
After waking up from his short rest, the first thing Du Kang saw was the raging flames in front of him, and the mud that was being roasted in the fire.
In front of Du Kang, there was a big crack in the mud that had been knocked out. The fragrance of cooked meat was continuously emitted from within. Not far away from the rock wall, there were even more mud balls being carried over by the prawns.
Du Kang pulled a mud ball over. The mud ball was not big. It was about the size of five or six prawns. He gently knocked open the mud ball. Du Kang found that there was a layer of unknown plant leaves wrapped inside. He used his legs to push open the leaves. Du Kang saw a dinosaur the size of a rabbit. He found the dinosaur familiar, as if he had eaten it before. The internal organs of the dinosaur had been removed beforehand. Du Kang even found that the dinosaur had shed its fur.
He tore some meat and put it into his shrimp mouth. Du Kang quietly tasted the taste. The meat was tender and juicy, but it did not have the greasy feeling that meat usually had. It should be due to that layer of leaves. After the inside of the dinosaur was emptied, it was also stuffed with unknown spices and seasonings under high temperature. The faint scent of spices seeped into the gravy and mixed with the light fragrance of the leaves. Recalling the things he had eaten before... Du Kang finally admitted that even if the food in front of him was placed in his Horrifying Upright Ape, it's at an incredible level.
Thinking of the roasted dinosaur he had cooked before, Du Kang had to admit that the shrimp people had done a lot better - at least the shrimp people did not use fire to shed the fur of the dinosaurs.
Later, how did they learn this method of roasting meat with mud?
Right, he remembered that he only ate half of it. What happened to the remaining half?
Seeing the gods eating, some prawn people waved their hands and cheered for their own kind. Soon, a large group of prawn people gathered in the square, waving their arms and praying. In their opinion, the gods accepting sacrifices was a affirmation of themselves.
Du Kang, who was eating, found himself being watched. To him, being watched by a large group of people while eating was a very bad thing, not to mention the people who were watching from below. A large group of shrimp heads...
After thinking for a while, he knocked open the other mud balls and removed the leaves. Du Kang directly pushed the grilled meat towards the group of shrimp people.
The meaning of his actions could not be any simpler.
Eat.
Looking at the roasted meat being pushed back, the prawns who were still in a state of ecstasy earlier were stunned.
Were the gods dissatisfied with the offerings?
However, as they watched the gods continue to eat, the prawns were unable to react in time.
"God Father has given us food!" A flash of inspiration appeared in the big head of one of the shrimp people.
"Praise God Father, he has given us food!" The prawns were even more excited. The gods had accepted the offerings and generously gifted them with superior meat that would only be carefully made when they were offering sacrifices. This was undoubtedly the high recognition of the gods towards them.
They seemed to have selectively forgotten that they were the ones who had made the meat, and the gods had only divided it among themselves.
After another round of praise for the gods, the prawns began to divide the roasted dinosaurs in an orderly manner. The sharp thorns on the limbs of the prawns were tough and sharp, and they were natural sharp blades. Very soon, the four or five prawn sized dinosaurs were divided into small pieces, and each of the prawn people present obtained a piece of meat.
After thanking the gods for their grace, the prawns also began to eat. The dinosaurs had a lot of meat, but the prawns on the scene had more. Each prawn only got a small piece of meat and finished it in two bites. Then, they began to pray to their gods.
Seeing that the prawn person had not left yet and was still in the same spot, who did not know what he was doing, Du Kang did not have any appetite anymore. He noticed something even more interesting.
"There is a good order. There was no deliberate queue when the meat was divided. However, there is no chaos, as if all the shrimp people know what they should do. They also had quite a bit of knowledge in computing and three-dimensional math. The shrimp people responsible for cutting only cut once from beginning to end. They didn't change their knife at all. However, the meat that was given to each shrimp man was actually about the same size." This was the information that Du Kang had gathered from the incident just now.
One should know that even with Du Kang's perspective, he didn't know exactly how many shrimp people were present, and those few shrimp people in charge of cutting the meat were actually able to cut a piece of meat without missing a single piece. This was enough to surprise Du Kang.
"Maybe I can find some fun on these shrimp men..." With this thought, Du Kang slowly fell asleep under the prayers of the shrimp people.

On top of the cliff, at the highest point of the valley, Shrimp Leader, who had once fainted from hunger on the ground after a few days of rest, gradually recovered his spirit. Now, looking down from above, Shrimp Leader looked down at the god worshiped by countless shrimp people and fell into deep thought.
The development of the matter had far exceeded his expectations. Originally, he had calculated the location of the birth of God Su according to the ancient language. He had prepared himself as a living sacrifice to seek guidance for the people of the fire. Things had gone far smoother than he had imagined. God only gave him a test, and then he pointed out the direction to go. They also generously imparted new runes to the people of the fire, giving them new power. The gods even escorted them all the way back to the city. One should know that when they set off, there were hundreds of warriors who were good at fighting. However, when they saw the gods, only a few of them were left.
After that, the gods entered the city and began to rest in the square of the altar.
Shrimp Leader. It was hard to tell if this was a good or bad thing. God's will was hard to predict. Perhaps the god had predicted what kind of danger would happen here, so he stayed here. However, the impact it brought...
The prawns who saw the true form of the gods now only had worship and respect for the gods in their hearts. They prayed day and night. They waved their limbs to depict the prayers of the god, and the warriors stopped working hard to cultivate. The growers no longer looked after the fruit trees, and the herders killed the dinosaurs that were still laying eggs. They only did it in accordance with the ancient ritual to carry out the ritual of worshipping the God.
The shrimp people below treated the arrival of the gods as a grand celebration, but Shrimp Leader, as the inheritor of the flame, knew that the score could not be settled like this. He needed to worry more. When the gods entered the city, they crushed one-eighth of the fruit trees in the city. The manpower and resources needed for the research of the new runes were still far away. There were at most a hundred days and nights of rotation, and the evil Alien would come again to extinguish the last flame. The older generation of warriors fell in battle after battle, but many of the new generation of warriors still did not know what battle was.
They could not count on the help of the gods. Shrimp Leader clearly understood that since the gods had given the direction, the only thing left was to give the people of the fire their own trials. The gods would not interfere with all of this. From ancient times until now, all records of communication with the gods had proved this point.
"Even if the people of the fire did not pass the trials, all of them will return to ashes." Shrimp Leader lowered his head and prayed silently. "Please protect the fire for eternity."
