#426 - Chapter 426 The Beginning of Civilization

"You, prepare these foods. I want to see what your usual diet is like."

As Mo Nan's words fell, a large group of burly women, wearing bark and leaves and full of wildness, rushed excitedly towards the prey.

They skillfully skinned and deboned the prey, completing the simple processing.

However, the next operation stunned Mo Nan.

They cut the meat from the prey, washed it simply, and then placed it on large leaves. Then, they squeezed out the juice of a red fruit and smeared it on top.

After doing all this, the food was considered ready. They brought the food over and placed it in front of everyone. Of course, most people went to get it themselves. Only the chief, the priest, and Mo Nan had someone specially deliver the food.

Mo Nan looked at the 'food' on the leaves in front of him, his mouth twitching, and he sighed deeply in his heart.

Eating raw meat and drinking blood, that's how the ancestors of the human race lived.

Mo Nan looked at the children whose mouths were almost drooling, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Mo Nan looked at the chief and the priest sitting on the ground not far from him and asked in confusion:

"You, didn't you get the Heavenly Fire? Why do you still eat raw flesh and blood?"

The priest and the chief looked at each other, somewhat puzzled, and said: "Great Heavenly God, shouldn't food be eaten like this? All races in the world eat like this. Our human race even smears the food with the juice of the Xin fruit, which is already very good compared to other races," the priest said.

The chief said: "Great Heavenly God, the Heavenly Fire can be used to keep out the cold and drive away beasts. Could it also be related to food?"

Mo Nan sighed again after hearing their words.

"Have them all stop first and have someone prepare some dry firewood."

Although the priest was a little puzzled, he still had people prepare dry firewood.

Soon, a large pile of dry firewood was piled up on the spacious open space.

Mo Nan walked to the center of the field, and a scorching flame rose from Mo Nan's fingertips.

But then, Mo Nan extinguished the flame again.

"Prepare some hay too."

Soon, someone brought a large pile of hay.

"Watch carefully."

After Mo Nan said that, he came to the center of the field. He placed the hay under the dry firewood, and then placed the fire-drilling equipment under the hay.

Mo Nan cut the meat pieces smaller and skewered them one by one.

Then, Mo Nan put the skewered meat skewers on the bonfire and started roasting them.

Everyone was still full of doubts at first, but as a rich aroma spread, everyone was stunned.

Smelling the aroma they had never smelled before, everyone's eyes widened and saliva flowed out unconsciously.

Mo Nan was also a little surprised when he smelled the aroma. He didn't expect that the red fruit juice they smeared on the meat before was actually a very good seasoning. It had both a spicy taste and salt. Although it could not be compared with modern seasonings, it was already very valuable in this primitive society.

Soon, several large skewers of grilled meat were made. Mo Nan smiled and handed them to the priest, the chief, and several elders.

After these people took the grilled meat, they glanced at Mo Nan. Seeing Mo Nan nod with a smile, they took the grilled meat and put it into their mouths carefully.

As they chewed, an unspeakable fragrance permeated everyone's mouths. They couldn't wait to swallow their tongues.

"Food can actually be made like this. Heavenly Fire, no, fire, actually has such an effect. It's simply unbelievable, unbelievable."

The priest was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

"From now on, all the food you eat must be cooked with fire before eating."

"We respectfully obey the Heavenly God's command!" Everyone responded in unison.

Mo Nan nodded and said again: "You must remember that man will conquer nature."

"Man will conquer nature!"

"Man will conquer nature!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and in their excited eyes, something called faith was burning.

In their minds, Heaven was the supreme existence. Every tribe had a priest who sacrificed to Heaven, to the God that did not exist at all. But now, the God of the Human Race told them that man would conquer nature, that the Human Race was the most powerful force in the world. How could they not be excited?

At this moment, a large ball of golden light descended from the sky again and merged into Mo Nan's body.

Mo Nan still put it away again, and his eyes looked at the people of these primitive tribes again.

The next thing Mo Nan was going to do was a bit sophisticated, and only smart people could learn it.

"You should first make food according to the method I just taught you. After you are full, there are more important things to do."

"Yes."

After everyone responded, the young and strong men ran away happily to find hay and dry firewood, while the women and children began to skewer meat on the bone spears.

Soon, piles of flames rose from the open space, and everyone started cheering again.

Looking at the piles of bonfires lit by their own hands, some people were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

Soon, a fragrant smell of meat filled the entire valley. Although it was daytime, the piles of red flames also had the atmosphere of a bonfire party.

As the grilled meat was completed, thousands of people ate with greasy mouths and stars in their eyes.

Several women nimbly climbed the trees and took down the wild fruits they usually collected, and everyone began to celebrate in a frenzy.

Soon, some young men and women walked to the bonfire and began to sing and dance.

This was the best way for the ancient ancestors to celebrate.

Looking at the young men and women full of wildness, Mo Nan also showed a gratified smile.

Mo Nan, in a great mood, also took a large skewer of grilled meat and began to feast on it.

Mo Nan suddenly felt that the grilled meat in his hand was better than many delicacies, probably because of psychological effects.

Looking at the young men and women full of wild charm, Mo Nan couldn't help but smile.

These are all my people.

The inheritance of civilization in the future will depend on them.

Mo Nan was not in a hurry. After these people had eaten and played enough, he stood up and said to the priest beside him:

"Find some of the smartest people in the tribe to come over."
