Many people started rabbling for they had handed more weapons than previous years, yet the amount received was pathetically lesser Not only were the rations halved, but, even the beasts had disappeared

"The Fire Cloud tribe has gone too far, how can they dismiss us with this tiny amount?""

"Patriarch, what’s theof this!"

Seeing that themore disorderly, the yellow-robed elder snorted and said, "Shut your mouths!" You will understand in a while Distribute the rations now! Hand over your wooden tablets, and whatever you receive is all you will get!

The yellow-robed elder said it with force resulting in many of the dissatisfied to zip up their mouths ih he was a low-classed Mortal Blood warrior, he was definitely the tribe’s pillar, so few dared defy him

"Those from the warrior preparation camp are the first to receive the rations!" The roup of ed from fifteen to forty years old Without exception, all of the These people were members of the warrior preparation caood physical attributes, they were chosen fro occasionally, they did not farm or manufacture arrows or armor

Besides, anything beneficial like food was first distributed to the warrior preparation cah-class warrior, they would bring lots of riches to the tribe Besides being able to protect, high-level warriors’ output capabilities were extreo out into the wilderness to hunt Just a few large wild beasts would be enough to feed the entire tribe for days Without exaggeration, a single high-level warrior could sustain a small tribe!

There were dozens of people in the warrior preparation camp, and because they never participated in the , they naturally didn’t have any wooden tablets; but each of the of rations

The small amount of rations was further reduced by a fifth, but there were tens of times more people who haven’t received the rations compared to the warrior preparation camp

From this, it was fated that many would starve

Jiang Xiaorou, as by Yi Yun’s side, grasped the wooden tablet tightly Her face was pale for their days were nue to obtain any rations

The people were solemn as the warrior preparation camp members took their usual share, which definitely h to distribute

"Household with Tier one ave another order In this world where martial arts was life, those males not from the warrior preparation camp received distributions proportional to their abilities

A si able to lift 300 lbs was a Tier one male!

The lesser they lifted, the lower their tier

Those households with Tier one h of relief and rushed forward to collect their rations The wooden tablets were just for show These households received much lesser rations than nor

These households were originally wealthier, and would have surplus food So even though their days ahead required theal, it wasn’t a desperate situation

"Household with Tier two males, come collect your rations!" The yellow-robed elder opened histo "Lord Tao", this yellow-robed elder was a totally different person with his cold demeanor

A Tier two male could lift about 250 lbs of stone The rations they received were reduced greatly

The ration bags depleted rapidly With every disappearing bag, Jiang Xiaorou’s face turned paler Her clahtly

The probles of rations; this was a matter of life and death Without the rations, they would starve to death!

She was originally full of hope for this round’s ration distribution Besides getting the rations, she was hoping to receive a piece of beast meat to nurse Yi Yun However, there weren’t even any normal rations left

"Household with Tier three males, come collect your rations!"

With the depleting rations, Jiang Xiaorou held her breath

The yellow-robed elder frowned, as the amount of rations was too little Many still had not received it In the months to come, many would be fated to starve to death

But for the tribe’s benefit, to catch that golden opportunity, the yellow-robed elder could only harden his heart and sacrifice the weak

It was coer or sickness in the tribe The adverse living conditions resulted in the average life expectancy to be frightening short

"The rest, come collect your rations"

With those words, a large group of people rushed forward Jiang Xiaorou screamed as the mob pushed her down

She was bruised from her fall, but she held on to her wooden tablet closely, as if it was her freedo her hope

"Sis Xiaorou" Seeing Jiang Xiaorou fall, Yi Yun rushed through the mob and pulled her up

"Are you alright, Sis Xiaorou?" Yi Yun was anxious as being tra Xiaorou held on helplessly to Yi Yun’s hand

"Stop squeezing All of you be orderly!" The yellow-robed elder shouted His voice see theforward to quiet down

"Line up, one by one!" The yellow-robed elder was authoritative No one dared to defy hie of the tribe, and he would execute whoever disobeyed on the spot

The people lined up for the rations, even if it was a pathetic a many without any

Jiang Xiaorou’s heart sank Without the rations, they could not survive

"wang Long, bring out a few stored rations out," said the yellow-robed elder to a stoutwas one of the yellow-robed elder’s family members

"Yes, Patriarch" wang Long left and returned in a short while with a s only grain

On Earth, eating grain was a source of vita in healthiness However in this alternate world, it was a totally differentIt was mixed heat bran as food The taste was horrible and hard to s

Also grain was low in nutrients, and difficult to digest In fact, it provided very little energy, about half of the rations Although it was grain, it was better than nothing The crowd could only resign to fate and collected the extreht at the back, and by her turn, there was alrain left

She passed the teat sodden wooden tablets and received two palrains as porridge, it wouldn’t last them more than ten days

Jiang Xiaorou was stunned as she held the light bags of grain, unwilling to accept her fate

Her brother had just coether?

"What are you staying there for, stop blocking the way!" The rain said i Xiaorou to leave as soon as possible

Jiang Xiaorou felt anger She had worked hard overnight to ot was this tiny aroup of men who held the tribe’s authority "Why is there so little? I handed over two bundles of arrows Not only did I not get the rations, but all I got was grain that is far from the normal amount!"

The rain was stunned He never expected the young girl to have the courage to question him

"Do you even know the rules? You are just a kid, and a young girl at that Without anyso much food? It would be a waste!"

In this world, the s tribes, there were various kinds of desolate beasts, and even desolate bones So the differences between the two sexes didn’t matter as much

But in a sap that couldn’t be closed Few girls had the strength comparable to men

Being looked down upon, Jiang Xiaorou shouted angrily, "Who said I didn’t have anythat, Jiang Xiaorou grabbed Yi Yun’s hand and stood beside him
