Chapter 46 - Departure (1/2)

Ch46 - Departure

It took Zhou Ji some time before he was able to get away from the priest.

And then, he discovered that Xiang Tian had come back and was secretly following the tribesmen, but Xiang Tian’s aura was extremely unstable.

It wasn’t any different from what he had expected. Xiang Tian was currently in a very bad condition. A person like this would collapse at any time; for the Big Bear Tribe, this was a ticking time bomb.

People who were about to die were people who were willing to do anything.

Based on Zhou Ji’s current strength, sneaking out of the tribe was an incredibly easy thing to do.

He left the tribe, then made himself a costume out of plants, including a mask made out of wood.

This kind of costume was really sloppy, and it was even a bit amusing from Zhou Ji’s point of view, but to people in this world, everyone’s clothing was… really difficult to describe simply… but him dressing up like this was already considered pretty good.

There was no need to speak about anything else, even in Xiang Tian’s case… the animal hides that Xiang Tian were wearing were different from the ones in their own tribe. They were of a much higher grade, but to him, it still looked as if he had simply pulled a sack over his body.

Zhou Ji looked at the person in front of him through his mask.

This man looked very similar to him, or rather, very similar to the body he currently owned. What Shi Li had said should be the truth-this man was the father of the original owner of this body.

Otherwise, if a powerhouse like this had suddenly been assigned a false ‘useless’ son, he probably would’ve first slapped him to death, and then followed up by beating Shi Li to death.

After losing the divine fruit, Xiang Tian had gone a little crazy. Now that a mystery man had suddenly appeared before him, he finally calmed down and even managed to gather up the energy that was chaotically leaking out of his body.

After doing so, the energy in the air grew much more peaceful. Zhou Ji looked at him and said, “I was the one who took the fruit in the cave.”

“Who are you?” Xiang Tian stared coldly at Zhou Ji.

“You don’t need to know.” Zhou Ji looked calmly at the other party, “You’re going to die soon.”

Xiang Tian’s expression grew even uglier, and a surge of killing intent spread out from his body.

Zhou Ji ignored all this, “That fruit would have been unable to cure you. The energy within your body is too chaotic. Even if you ate it, it would only cause you to collapse on the spot.”

“Ha!” Xiang Tian sneered. He had thought of this possibility before, but now that this man was saying it, he didn’t believe it.

That fruit had been his only chance at life!

Right now, he only wanted to know who this mystery man was! Could this person be the one who that lion had mentioned, the one who had revealed his identity?

Seeing that Xiang Tian didn’t believe him, Zhou Ji didn’t find it strange at all. His spiritual powers rushed out towards Xiang Tian, and he also used the energy within his body to pressure him.

Xiang Tian spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and his expression changed dramatically.

He was considered powerful even compared against the majority of other Beast Kings. Despite having hidden dangers lurking in his body, he remained unafraid of others, but the person in front of him was able to suppress him.

Xiang Tian wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt weak. At the same time, it also felt like some unknown thing had entered his body.

Xiang Tian went pale with fear. He had spent over twenty years in this wild forest believing that it would ultimately be his salvation. He had never thought that this would be his burial place!

This person… Was he going to kill him?

Xiang Tian wanted to fight and resist, but soon realized that something wasn’t right-that mysterious energy that had entered his body wasn’t harming him. Instead, it was putting his broken crystal core back together.

For a while, Xiang Tian was really unable to tell reality from illusion.

A long time later, by the time Xiang Tian came back to his senses, he discovered that his condition was unprecedentedly much better.

The hidden illness in his body hadn’t been cured completely, but the crystal core in his body was in much better condition now than it had been before he found that divine fruit!

If it had been before, Xiang Tian might have hated the man before him to the bone, but at this moment, he no longer dared to hate him.

This man was too powerful, and his methods were incomparably miraculous. A person like this definitely couldn’t be made into an enemy.

While Xiang Tian was thinking, he heard that person say, “Leave the wild forest at once.”

The man disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

Xiang Tian felt like he had just returned from the gates of death. He felt both respect and fear, but he truly didn’t dare to stay in this place any longer.

He sped away, but after running for a while, he came back and returned to the cave where he had hidden the comatose Shi Li.

Shi Li was still lying there unconscious. He picked up Shi Li, then quickly left the wild forest.

Amidst all this, Shi Li woke up. He seemed to realize his situation and began to struggle, but was slapped back into unconsciousness by Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian had no way to deal with that mystery man, but he could take out all his anger on Shi Li.

The reason why he hadn’t simply killed Shi Li was because Shi Li could actually absorb the energy from their surroundings on his own.

With that in mind, Xiang Tian glanced back.

He was afraid that this lion might have something to do with that mystery man, and that the man might be chasing behind him, but fortunately, he didn’t see anything.

Xiang Tian’s footsteps sped up even more.

The wild forest was like a barren land. The people from the Beast God Temple had always looked down on the tribes and people here. Who would have thought that there would be such a powerhouse within the wild forest?

Zhou Ji had watched as Xiang Tian took Shi Li away with him.

He had helped Xiang Tian because he was afraid Xiang Tian would go crazy, and also because Xiang Tian was the original host’s father. As for Xiang Tian looking down on him… He could actually understand the reasoning behind it-He might also have looked down on his son if he had turned out to be a fool.
