I never upgrade

Is there a mistake in Chapter 25?

"Alas!!!"

A cheer of victory erupted around them, and the other cavemen raised their clubs and shouted in celebration.

"Let's go back!"

The burly man leading the group was also full of enthusiasm and very satisfied with today's harvest.

Seeing that they were heading in his direction, Xu Lun wisely stepped aside.

Amid cheers from the surrounding primitive people, the burly man swaggered over, followed by the four men responsible for carrying the sticks.

Xu Lun finally saw the beast trapped in the large net, but at this moment the beast was curled up in a ball, hanging in the net, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

Xu Lun guessed that it should be a feline animal, as he saw a very thick, round tail.

Although the beast was curled up, judging from its size, it didn't seem particularly large. At least, Xu Lun felt that it wasn't as robust as a tiger.

However, it is worth mentioning that the beast's fur is very special. It is a bluish-green color, neither quite blue nor quite green, like the water of a lake in spring, a very dreamy color.

Xu Lun increasingly felt that this beast was probably not the man-eating monster they were looking for.

But at this moment, the primitive people had already lined up, singing unpleasant tunes, and started to walk back.

Xu Lun had no choice but to follow, thinking he would see what was going on when they got back.

...

It was evening.

The team, led by the burly man, returned in triumph with the captured beast!

The elderly, children, and women in the village, upon hearing the news, all came to the east end of the village, curiously watching the wild beast trapped in the net.

"Look, look! This is the man-eating monster from Charva village!"

"Really? What kind of monster is that? A dire wolf?"

"Mommy, its fur is so beautiful! I want to wear it!"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense! This is the monster the chief killed; only the chief can wear its pelt!"

"..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Xu Lun listened and realized that the chief the villagers were talking about must be the burly man leading the group.

He followed the group, walking from the east end of the village to the west end, then from the west end to the north end, and then from the north end to the south end, until it got dark.

Good grief, are you never going to stop? Even a seasoned fisherman wouldn't act like this!

Xu Lun was speechless. He had just arrived in this other world and hadn't done anything but stroll around.

After wandering around the village several times, we finally found a place that looked like a pigsty. Inside, there was a thatched shed with a deep pit dug in it.

The group put down the wooden sticks and placed them at both ends of the pit, then untied the rope and gave it a hard shake!

thump!

The wild beast fell out of the net and landed directly in the large pit that had been dug beforehand.

Next, they brought a grid-shaped cover made of wooden sticks and placed it over the hole.

The moment the lid was closed, another round of exhilarating cheers erupted around them.

"Let's go! Tonight I'll treat everyone to grilled wild boar!"

With a wave of his hand, the burly man left the thatched hut amidst the crowd.

Only after everyone had left did Xu Lun have a chance to glance at the deep pit.

All that could be seen was the outline of a feline animal lying at the bottom of the pit, barely alive.

However, it was too dark, and Xu Lun couldn't see its appearance clearly. He could only hear desperate whimpers coming from its throat over and over again.

"Help...help me...help...help me..."

Xu Lun sighed inwardly. He was powerless to help, and the beast was so badly injured that it probably wouldn't survive.

With mixed feelings, Xu Lun turned and left the thatched hut.

...

night.

A huge bonfire was lit in the square in the center of the village.

The villagers of Zulu sat around the bonfire, while the young and strong men sang and danced around it.

Amid rhythmic clapping and cheers, several mountain dolphins, tied to wooden sticks, were lined up and carried into the center of the circle, where they were placed over a rising bonfire to be roasted.

Xu Lun peeked out and saw that the so-called mountain dolphin was about the same size as a wild boar and looked like one, with a dark gray body. However, it did not have the tusks of a wild boar, nor was it as robust.

This time, he happened to sit with a young man named Lumen. The young man was in a great mood, and Xu Lun took the opportunity to ask him many seemingly stupid questions, but they did not arouse suspicion. Instead, the young man answered them one by one.

For example, the strong man leading the hunt for wild animals today is the chief of Zulu village, named Rukaf.

The skinny man beside him, named Rugit, was the chief's assistant, but in reality, he was a lackey.

"Rukaf, Rugit, Rumen, so everyone in your village has the surname Ru? No wonder it's called Zulu Village..."

Xu Lun couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.

Rumen also told him that the main food source for Zulu Village was wild boar, which was raised in the village but was occasionally caught in the wild.

Vegetables consist of green wild vegetables, occasionally mixed with small red berries and some yellow grains.

Wild vegetables can be found around the village, while small berries and yellow grains are picked in the area to the north, near the snow-capped mountains.

Moreover, there is a river there, and the village's drinking water is all retrieved from there.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Xu Lun could only sigh: This village is such a damn rip-off!

He then followed the other person and tried the grilled wild boar meat. To be fair, the meat was quite fragrant, with a texture between pork and beef—not too fatty, nor too dry.

After dinner, Xu Lun asked about the captured wild animal again:

"Do you know what kind of animal the monster we caught today was? A tiger? Or a leopard?"

He regretted it a little after he finished speaking. Did this guy even know what a tiger and a leopard were? Or rather, did tigers and leopards even exist in this world?

Lumen shrugged:

"I don't know, I don't recognize him at all, I've never seen him around here before."

Xu Lun, curious, asked him if he believed that this was the monster that ate people in Chavar Village.

Lumen shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either and that he would have to wait for someone to come and find out.

"The chief has already sent someone to Chawar village, and they should be here in a few days."

Xu Lun understood and didn't ask any more questions.

The two sat for a while longer, and gradually, some people in the crowd got up and left.

Seeing this, Xu Lun said goodbye to Lu Men and planned to go back to rest.

On the first day, he felt somewhat weak.

Gradually moving away from the bonfire and the noisy crowd, Xu Lun followed the dirt road leading to the east end of the village and found his house.
