The Greatest Beast Trainer: Building A Nation On The Back Of A Dragon Chapter 9

This time, Solomon and Nicole did not split up.

In the name of strength in numbers, Nicole did not let Solomon go.

"Hiss... Solomon, your dagger is so fast!"

Nicole praised Solomon.

Solomon's dagger was fast, ruthless, and accurate!

After the two domesticated animals were fully upgraded, Solomon's body had also improved a lot as the host.

His vision, sense of smell, speed, and strength all increased slightly.

"Mm, it's getting late. We'll catch a few more small snakes, and then we can go back."

Solomon instructed.

There were already more than twenty dead, small snakes hanging on his waist.

The funniest thing was that the Rainbow Snake behind Solomon also had a small snake in its mouth.

Hearing Solomon's words, Nicole nodded.

If they did not rush back to the camp earlier, they might encounter some danger.

After a while, they caught a small wild boar and forty small snakes today. It was more than enough for their dinner.

"It's time to go back."

Solomon counted his harvest and said to Nicole.

Then, the two of them ran towards the camp.

Night fell quietly.

Solomon and Nicole returned home.

At this time, the two of them sat around a fire pit.

There was a thick and strong piece of wood on the fire pit that had a pot hanging from it.

Below it, there was a circle of stones with a fire burning brightly inside.

Nicole used a spoon to stir the pot slowly.

After a while, a warm fragrance floated out of the pot.

"It smells so good."

As Nicole spoke, she almost drooled.

Snake meat soup!

Solomon naturally did not sit idle. He was roasting a small wild boar at the side.

However, this small wild boar was very tiny.

Because Nicole did not want Solomon to roast the entire small wild boar, she said there would be nothing to eat tomorrow.

But, this could definitely be considered a sumptuous dinner.

"It's done."

Solomon said to Nicole.

He also used the knife to scrape off a piece of meat from half of the wild boar's body and handed it to Nicole.

"It's so hot."

Nicole took the wild boar meat, blew on it to cool it down with her mouth, and then started munching on the sweet delicious meat.

"Eat slowly. There's still a lot of it.

"Have you never eaten wild boar meat before?"

Solomon asked.

After hearing Solomon's words, Nicole stopped eating.

"Yeah, I've never had a chance to eat wild boar meat ever since I was a kid.

"I've been catching small animals almost every day. I can't beat the big ones."

As Nicole spoke, she continued to eat.

Solomon knew that although Nicole did not say it, she must have felt very awkward. Furthermore, he could clearly feel that Nicole's mood had become depressed.

It was hard to imagine how such a girl could survive in such a world.

She probably never knew what it felt like to be full.

"I'm done eating. Remember to finish this wild boar. I'm going out for a walk."

"Ah? Where are you going? How can I finish eating all of this?"

"I'm going to the camp for a walk. So don't waste it."

After saying that, Solomon did not care whether Nicole agreed or not and just left.

The sky was already dark, and the night was already dark.

In such an environment, it was completely suitable for Solomon's actions.

As he passed by a few wooden sheds, Solomon heard waves of snoring.

Some people went to bed early because they did not have enough to eat. Once they fell asleep, they would not be hungry anymore.

Through Nicole's words, Solomon learned that.

All the wild beasts that people hunted had to be handed over to the people who worked in the camp.

Living in the camp involved taxation. If you did not pay the tax according to time, you would be kicked out of the camp.

After being kicked out of the camp, your life and death had nothing to do with this place.

There was another essential reason why everyone was willing to pay taxes, and that was water!

That's right. The leader controlled the water in this camp.

If you did not pay taxes, there would be no water. If you did not eat, you might be able to persist for a period of time. But, without water, you would die of thirst!

And those who paid taxes could receive a portion of water. At the very least, they could guarantee that they would not die of thirst before they paid their taxes next time.

The entire camp could be divided into two parts. One was the residence of the leader and the hunting squad, and the other was a place for those who paid taxes.

"The difference is really huge!"

The place where the leader and the hunting squad lived occupied most of the space in the camp. There was also a 200 square meter house in the middle. Solomon estimated that this should be the place where the leader of the camp lived.

Around this big house, there were also some smaller houses. So, naturally, they were used for the hunting squad to live in.

"Looks like the water is there."

Solomon muttered softly, his gaze stopping on the largest house in the middle.

That was definitely the place where the camp leader lived. Such an important thing like the water source was definitely placed by his side. So naturally, he would not let others keep it.

Thinking of this, Solomon fumbled his way over.

He did encounter a few members of the hunting squad on patrol along the way, but they were all avoided by him.

Even if they were close to him, if Solomon did not deliberately reveal it, he would not have discovered that there was actually a person here.

All of this was naturally achieved through the rainbow snake transformation, which provided Solomon with some convenience.

Otherwise, he might have to start fighting again.

After the members of the hunting party left, Solomon continued to explore.

Leaning against the wall, Solomon heard the voices of a few people talking.

"The water supply in the camp is running out. It can only last for ten days at most."

This voice reached Solomon's ears.

He could tell that the person who spoke was the leader of the camp.

He was also the person in charge of the water source.

"No, if we don't have a water source, we will die of thirst!"

"If we go to find a new water source, it will take more than 10 days!"

"That's right. If we don't find a new water source within 10 days, we will die of thirst!"

After hearing the conversation of the four people, Solomon also understood.

On the way here, it was no wonder that every member of the hunting team only had some clear water in their bowls and then mixed it with the blood of wild beasts.

It turned out that there was not enough water!

"Humph, I think it's because of those vegetables!

"Leader, you're being too selfish by doing this. The three of us don't have any opinions about using water to water the vegetables."

"The vegetables that are planted are all enjoyed by you alone. Even the people closest to you don't have the chance to enjoy them."

"In my opinion, we should go to other camps!"

A man said angrily, obviously very angry.

It could be seen how selfish this camp leader was usually.

"Yes, we can go to other camps!"

"There will definitely be water sources in other camps. As long as they accept us, we won't have to die of thirst."

The other man also voiced out his agreement.

The camp leader definitely would not agree to such a method. So the four of them started arguing again.

Asking a person like him to rely on others?

"Extravagant!"

Solomon, who was outside the wall, thought to himself.

There was almost no water to drink, yet he still had the energy to grow vegetables.
