Chapter 140 – Preparing To Depart

Of course, the Rhinoceros Beast King certainly wouldn’t join the Big Bear Tribe.

However, the Big Bear Tribe had saved his son, so he felt a lot of goodwill towards the Big Bear Tribe. He solemnly thanked Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji nodded casually and continued to eat.

Seeing this, the Rhinoceros Beast King couldn’t help himself anymore either––he decided to go and find himself something to eat. He was exhausted and starving from running around trying to find his son.

The Rhinoceros Beast King went out for a bit and came back soon after with a dinosaur. This dinosaur’s meat was his son’s favorite.

“Baobei, Father brought you back a delicious dinosaur!” The Rhinoceros Beast King said.

However, Xi Baobei glanced at him, then looked back over at the other people again––someone was making egg fried rice for him!

They first heated the oil, then put in some slices of meat, stir-frying it for a while before adding a dinosaur egg and frying it too. The rice came last, and… Not just Xi Baobei, even the Rhinoceros Beast King wanted to eat it after watching the process.

This Big Bear Tribe seemed to be a very rich tribe.

Otherwise… Would anyone put so much effort into studying how to make such troublesome food if they had difficulty simply filling up their stomachs?

“I heard that you guys are from the seaside? Do you live very far away from us?” The Rhinoceros Beast King asked Zhou Ji. “I haven’t heard of the Big Bear Tribe before.”

“We’re actually from the wild forest.” Zhou Ji said.

The Rhinoceros Beast King’s eyes opened wide in amazement. “That’s impossible.”

Ordinary beastmen on the Beastman Continent might not know about the wild forest, but as a Beast King, he had actually gone there before and knew that the quality of life of the people there was really poor.

Although the Beast G.o.d Temple was a little annoying in some ways, their priests did actually know a lot and could make the lives of ordinary beastmen better. However, there were no priests in the tribes of the wild forest.

“The world is very big.” Zhou Ji replied.

The Rhinoceros Beast King didn’t speak anymore. This world was indeed very big. Although he had been to many places, it was impossible for him to have gone everywhere. Perhaps there were also rich tribes in the wild forest?

At the very least, this Big Bear Tribe was both rich and powerful.

While the Rhinoceros Beast King was thinking about this, Xi Baobei came over to him holding a bowl and spoon. He scooped up a bite of egg fried rice and said, “Father, I’ll give you some food to eat.”

After sharing a bite with his father, the rest was his. n.o.body could steal it from him!

“Baobei, why didn’t you give any to your grandfather?” Hai Feng felt a little sour.

“Grandfather has some!” Xi Baobei said.

Hai Feng held a bowl that was larger than Xi Baobei’s, smiled happily, and started eating with big gulps.

After killing the dinosaur he had hunted and roasting it to eat, the Rhinoceros Beast King suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have gone to eat that egg fried rice.

If he hadn’t eaten it, he wouldn’t have ended up disdaining his own roasted meat!

The Rhinoceros Beast King was very tired. After eating, he found a place to rest and went to sleep. As for Zhou Ji, he also went back to his own house to rest as well.

He also took the opportunity to take a look at his own strength.

The crystal core in his body had turned thoroughly black, and there was a lot more energy contained within it than before. His current level of strength was above that of a Beast King, and his animal form was probably larger than it had been before, but he hadn’t changed into his animal form yet to confirm.

Zhou Ji rested in the house for a while, and Xiong Ye eventually came over too, sitting next to Zhou Ji to cultivate quietly.

It was late in the evening by the time the two of them finished their cultivation.

Xiong Ye asked, “Zhou Ji, are you going to cook outside?”

Zhou Ji replied, “No need. I’ll just cook inside the house.”

Xiong Ye heard this and started a fire inside. He then asked, “What are we eating tonight?”

“Salted meat with bamboo shoots and rice.” Zhou Ji said.

Xiong Ye immediately started to look forward to it. He had eaten salted meat with bamboo shoots last year and remembered that it was very tasty. It was great that he could eat it again now!

Zhou Ji discovered that the pace of life in this era was really unprecedentedly slow.

But it made sense when he thought about it. Travel was done by walking, and communication by roaring, so there was a limit to how fast they could go no matter how much they wanted to speed things up.

Therefore, he also made food slowly when he cooked, spending several hours on a meal. To him, this time seemed to be nothing at all.

It wasn’t early anymore by the time they finished dinner. They had a good sleep, and it was already the next day by the time they woke up.

At this time, there were only five days left before the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice at the Beast G.o.d Temple.

As a Beast King, the Rhinoceros Beast King had to partic.i.p.ate in the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice. After thinking that his son was dead, then seeing that he was still alive, his mood was unprecedentedly good, and he was no longer in a hurry to go and partic.i.p.ate in the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice.

Of course, it may also have had something to do with the fact that he now knew that the people of his tribe had been involved in the attempt to kill his son.

When the Beast Kings gathered together at the Beast G.o.d Temple for the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice, they were actually there to discuss the distribution of benefits and protect their interests. The Beast Kings like him who were born into big tribes basically tried to fight for the interests of their own tribe, but now… He didn’t want to do it!

Although the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had been a big tribe in the past, it hadn’t had a Beast King. Additionally, because the people there weren’t very antagonistic, life there had been very ordinary. It was he who had caused the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe to become a huge tribe.

But now, someone in his tribe actually wanted to kill his son!

He had raised up a bunch of white-eyed wolves!

The Rhinoceros Beast King slept for a while and calmed down, deciding to focus on this one son of his. At the same time, he also wanted to change the way his son addressed Hai Feng, “Baobei, your grandfather has already pa.s.sed away. You can’t call him grandfather, you should call him uncle!”

“Father, grandfather isn’t dead.” Xi Baobei pointed to Hai Feng.

Hai Feng also gave support from the side, “Indeed, grandfather is fine. Baobei, do you want to play with grandfather?”

“Yes, yes, yes! “ Xi Baobei immediately abandoned his own father.

Rhinoceros Beast King: “……”

The Rhinoceros Beast King was very fond of Xi Baobei, but he would never be like Hai Feng who would accompany Xi Baobei to play games that only children would play. Therefore, he could only watch blankly as his own son became close to someone else.

The Rhinoceros Beast King was feeling very stifled, and at the same time, Zhou Ji had gone to Zhu Zhan and said, “Zhu Zhan, we’ll leave for the Beast G.o.d Temple tomorrow.”

“Alright!” Zhu Zhan agreed directly. Over the previous few days, he had already gone through the Giant Pig Tribe again and was now ready to leave at any time!

Now that Zhu Zhan had nothing else to deal with, Zhou Ji ordered everyone to start packing things up in preparation for going to the Beast G.o.d Temple tomorrow.

At the same time, those two younger brothers of Zhu Zhan’s who had had their legs broken by Zhu Zhu and had subsequently been driven out of the tribe, had arrived near the Beast G.o.d Temple.

They had originally been accompanied by a brother who shared the same mother as them who hadn’t been hurt, but their brother had felt that they were too burdensome and had ultimately snuck away on his own.

The legs of these two people had been rendered useless, and their combat power had been greatly reduced. It could only be said that they had to put in a lot of effort in order to reach the Beast G.o.d Temple.

They hoped that someone could avenge them.

These two people used to be Zhu Yan’s favorite sons. They had gone with Zhu Yan to the Beast G.o.d Temple before, but this time when they saw the Beast G.o.d Temple looming on the mountainside in the distance they felt small and lost––where were they supposed to go to find someone to help avenge them?

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” The patrols noticed the two of them and didn’t hesitate to holler, intending to drive them away.

One of these two men was missing a foot, and the other one was lame. They were both physically disabled and spurned by the Beast G.o.d… it was better if they drove them away quickly.

“We are people from the Giant Pig Tribe. We want to see a priest.” One of the two men said.

That guard said, “Are the priests people that you can see just because you want to? Hurry up and leave!”

“We’re looking for the priest for a very important matter. Something big has happened to our Giant Pig Tribe.”

“Someone came back from the wild forest!”

“Evil people have come to the Beastman Continent from the wild forest!”

……

These two men spoke one after another, and told the guards quite a lot.

However, the guards didn’t listen. Many people who believed in the Beast G.o.d would do anything they could to see a priest, and they wouldn’t pay attention to such people. “Hurry up and leave! If you guys don’t leave, I’m going to attack!”

There was nothing the two people from the Giant Pig Tribe could do. They were forced away, still talking as they went.

At this time, two people dressed in clothing and who were obviously not of low-status pa.s.sed by.

One was a man, and the other was a woman. When the man heard the words of the people from the Giant Pig Tribe, he suddenly spoke up, “Wait. You guys are from the Giant Pig Tribe? You said… Zhu Zhan is back?”

This person was s.h.i.+ Li.

He remembered that it would take Zhu Zhan several years to return. How come he had heard these two people say that Zhu Zhan had already come back? Then… What about the people of the Big Bear Tribe?
