Chapter 76

" This is an ancient custom. Neither Hao Qi nor Zhang Heng understood it, but Lan Linger and several members of Ba Baozhou's martial group did. In the ancient eras of humankind, hunting was mostly conducted in tribal units. Particularly, hunting a Mad-grade Creature played an unimaginable role in the development of a human tribe. However, not every tribe possessed the standalone capability to hunt a Mad-grade Creature, giving rise to early alliances and exchanges: the Inner Force Realm practitioners of two or three tribes would unite to hunt a Mad-grade Creature, slaughter it, and then allow the promising individuals of those tribes to dine alongside the Inner Force Realm experts. To ensure that no one secretly hoarded the meat of the Mad-grade Creature, this ancient custom was established: all the meat would be counted and laid out, and not a single person was allowed to take the first bite—not even the Inner Force Realm experts. Everyone had to wait until all participants had arrived, and only then would the person who had contributed the most to the hunt take the first bite, officially commencing the feast.
