Chapter 45 - Mystery Man (1/2)

Ch45 - Mystery Man

The sudden arrival and departure of Xiang Tian left the Big Bear Tribe in a bit of a daze.

What Shi Li had spoken about had shocked them even more-Zhou Ji’s father was actually such a powerful person?

After Xiang Tian left, Xiong He gave Zhou Ji a complicated look.

Back then, Zhou Ji’s mother had been very popular amongst the tribe. When she suddenly had a child, many people in the tribe had been curious about who the father was, but nobody knew… It turned out he hadn’t even been someone from their tribe!

However, given how strong Zhou Ji’s father was, it was normal for Zhou Ji’s mother to want to have a child with him. On the other hand, Zhou Ji… was a little too weak!

With this in mind, Xiong He began to sympathize with Zhou Ji.

Others in the tribe had also begun to discuss it one after another, “That person just now was too powerful, I was really scared!”

“I thought I was going to die.”

“There’s such a powerful person in this world. He’d never have to worry about going hungry, right?”

“If only I could be just as strong!”

“Fortunately, he didn’t do anything to us.”

……

The people in the Big Bear Tribe all felt some kind of joy from escaping this incident with their lives intact, but Shi Li’s mother was going crazy, “He took Shi Li away! Chief, hurry and bring Shi Li back!”

Even if she had been at odds with Shi Li recently, Yang Ying merely wanted to have Shi Li treat her a little better and had hoped for a few more mouthfuls of food to eat. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to Shi Li, and in fact, she was also afraid of Shi Li encountering serious trouble.

At the end of the day, they weren’t people from this tribe. It was only because of Shi Li that the tribe was willing to let them stay. Now that Shi Li was gone, would they be driven out? Could it be that they would have no choice but to starve to death?

“He spoke nonsense on his own and was taken away. How can I go and get him back?” Xiong He looked at Yang Ying coolly.

Xiong He’s temper was very good. Having been the tribal chief for so many years, he had seen all kinds of people. He usually wouldn’t lose his temper; he hadn’t done anything to Shi Li even when Shi Li had taken advantage of his daughter.

However, Xiong He felt both hatred and dislike towards Shi Li at this time.

Xiang Tian hadn’t come with any good intentions and had even specifically asked about the arthropleura. He had known at the time that if their answer had been inappropriate in any way, the people of their tribe would most likely suffer a disaster.

Even if that had been the case, he hadn’t mentioned that the millipede had been attracted over by Shi Li-he felt that it was better to say less rather than more, and there was no need to make the other party pay any additional attention to Shi Li.

But what happened in the end? Shi Li himself had rushed out to cause trouble!

At this moment, Xiong He was really disgusted with Shi Li. As for Zhou Ji…

Looking at Zhou Ji’s blank look, it was obvious that he knew nothing about it. Thinking about how he clearly had a very powerful father but hadn’t received any special care, living in a cave on his own when he had been a fool and obviously getting abandoned today…

Xiong He felt even more sympathetic towards Zhou Ji.

Even though Yang Ying had been roared at by Xiong He, she didn’t take it to heart. But the priest also spoke up at this time, “In the following few days, everyone needs to be a little more careful. Don’t cause trouble.”

The previous priest had come from outside. The current priest had learned some things about the outside from him, but it wasn’t much.

Xiang Tian seemed too powerful. At this moment, the priest only hoped that their tribe could continue living on peacefully.

With this in mind, the priest spoke again, “However we spent our days before, is how we will continue to live on the future. Later on, if any strangers come, don’t talk to them too much and don’t speak about what happened today.”

“Yes, priest.” The tribespeople all agreed one after another.

“Then, what about Shi Li?” Yang Ying couldn’t help asking again.

“We don’t have the ability to bring him back. If you are able to do it, you can go and bring him back on your own.” The priest replied.

Shi Li getting taken away was something he had brought upon himself!

At this moment, the priest felt that something was very wrong with Shi Li.

Shi Li had really changed a lot recently. As for the matter of Zhou Ji’s father… even he, the priest, didn’t know anything about it. How had Shi Li known?

Shi Li said that Zhou Ji’s mother had spoken about it, but the priest didn’t believe those words.

As a priest, Zhou Ji’s mother had trusted him a lot. Back then, he had asked Zhou Ji’s mother about who Zhou Ji’s father was.

Zhou Ji’s mother had no clue as to the identity of Zhou Ji’s father’s at all! All she had known was that he was a very powerful wandering beastman!

Speaking of which, Shi Li had changed so much. Could it be that he had gotten to know someone outside? Could it be that he had associated with someone who was going against Xiang Tian?

When he thought of this, the priest could only hope that Shi Li wouldn’t drag the tribe down with him.

The people in the tribe were all chatting noisily, but Xiong Ye was busy feeling a little concerned for Zhou Ji, “Zhou Ji, don’t be sad.”

Zhou Ji’s father had ignored Zhou Ji and had even abandoned him so obviously in front of everyone. Zhou Ji must be very sad.

“I’m not sad.” Zhou Ji replied. He really didn’t feel sad at all, just a little shocked.

He hadn’t expected the original owner of this body to have a father like that…

However, he was no longer the original owner of this body. He didn’t have any feelings towards his supposed parents and didn’t care much about that father of his. He only felt a little awkward-he had eaten the fruit that the other party had discovered before him.

Zhou Ji pondered it for a while, then decided that he would need to go out for a bit later and look for the father of this body’s original owner.

No matter what, they still had a blood relationship. The other party looked like they were about to die. If it was possible, he might as well lend him some aid.
