Ch49 - Recovering Together

Zhou Ji was unable to answer him. He had passed out.

After plucking up half a mountain worth of trees and killing countless dinosaurs, he had reached the end of his rope long ago.

Seeing that Zhou Ji was unconscious, Xiong Ye hurriedly shifted into his human form to check on Zhou Ji’s situation.

Other than some scratches and cuts, there were no other wounds on Zhou Ji’s body, but he was covered in sweat, and his breathing seemed extremely shallow. He should have fainted from exhaustion…

Had Zhou Ji come looking for him? Had he run here the whole way?

Xiong Ye kissed Zhou Ji on the cheek and for a moment, his heart grew warm.

Only, it was night time now, and it was very cold… Xiong Ye thought about it, then turned back into his animal form, pulling Zhou Ji into his arms.

Although the fur on his back was a little hard and prickly, the hair on his front was soft and could keep Zhou Ji warm.

Xiong Ye’s injuries were very serious, so he was a little confused as he drifted in and out of consciousness, but he wasn’t in that state for long before he heard Xiong He’s voice calling out, “Xiong Ye! Xiong Ye!”

Xiong He could smell Xiong Ye’s scent and could also smell the strong scent of blood. His heart trembled, and he feared that something might have happened to Xiong Ye.

Although he had several children, Xiong Ye’s animal form form was the most similar to his, and he had always been very attentive about teaching Xiong Ye. To him, Xiong Ye might even be more important than his own son-Xiong Ye was his chosen heir.

Xiong Ye shifted to his human form, “Chief!”

“Xiong Ye’s still alive!” Xiong Bai called out in surprise. The people that Xiong He had brought with him were all older, and they had originally refused to let her follow, but she had been concerned about Xiong Ye, so she and Niu Er had followed along behind them.

After calling out, she quickly ran over towards Xiong Ye.

And then…

Xiong Bai looked at Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji who were wrapped up together and rolled her eyes. If she’d known it would be like this, she definitely wouldn’t have come!

Unexpectedly, she was faced with such a scene even when she simply wanted to search for someone!

Xiong He didn’t think so much about it. He was rather surprised when he saw the person in Xiong Ye’s arms, “Is that Zhou Ji? The priest said he must have come out to find you. I hadn’t thought that this would really be the case!”

Xiong Ye couldn’t help but comment when he heard this, “Why didn’t you guys watch out for him a little bit?”

“He disappeared while we weren’t paying attention.” Xiong He said, “What’s wrong with him?”

“He probably fainted from fatigue.” Xiong Ye explained.

“He passed out after walking just this short distance?” Xiong He was a little speechless, and the people who had come over with Xiong He were also very speechless-This person was really too weak!

However, his attitude and concern for Xiong Ye was very good.

Xiong He said, “Xiong Qi said that you were injured. How are you?”

“I’m fine. It’s just a broken leg.” Xiong Ye said.

“How can you say you’re fine with a broken leg!” Xiong Bai unhesitatingly retorted.

Xiong He glanced at Xiong Bai, “It’s not that bad… That huge dinosaur’s footprints are here too. Xiong Ye could’ve been accidentally trampled…”

Xiong Bai thought of the giant beast from before, and her expression changed. It was Xiong Ye on the other hand who said, “Tribal chief, that wasn’t a dinosaur.”

“Not a dinosaur?” Xiong He didn’t believe him, “What was it, if it wasn’t a dinosaur?”

“It was a person. He saved me, and then turned into his animal form and ran up the mountain… I think he wasn’t feeling too good.” Xiong Ye explained. That huge beast seemed to have been venting.

Xiong Ye spoke very simply, but Xiong He and those who had come with him were shocked, “That was a person? There are actually people with such a large animal form?”

“What did he look like?”

“Why did he pull up the trees?”

……

The crowd had a bunch of questions, but Xiong Ye wasn’t very clear on any of it, either. He could only say, “He was wearing very beautiful clothes. He was very tall and seemed to be different from us…”

“Someone like that would definitely be different from us!” Everyone nodded together.

It was very dangerous at night. Although they wanted to know more, they also didn’t dare to tarry outside. Xiong He directed people to carry Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji and return back to the tribe.

He was very relieved to learn that that giant beast had actually been a person.

Xiong Ye’s injuries were actually very serious. He hadn’t passed out before from sheer force of will. Now that he was being carried back by Niu Er, he fell into a dazed sleep. It wasn’t until he and Zhou Ji were both carried to the priest’s cave that he finally woke up again.

“Your leg has been broken, and you can’t walk for half a month. I’ve placed healing herbs onto the wounds on your body.” The priest told him.

“What about Zhou Ji? How’s Zhou Ji?” Xiong Ye asked.

The priest’s expression was full of helplessness, “He seems to have fallen asleep…”

He had already examined Zhou Ji. Other than some wounds that should have been caused by some bushes and plants, there were no other wounds on his body. His breathing was also very smooth.

It was very clear that he had simply gone to sleep.

Xiong Ye: “……”

The priest added, “You should urge him to exercise more in the future…”

“I will.” Xiong Ye spoke solemnly. Not only would he urge Zhou Ji to get more exercise, he himself also wanted to exercise more.

He wanted to become strong. How great would it be if he could become as strong as the man who had saved him?!

Zhou Ji didn’t know how long he slept for.

Usually, when he went crazy like this, he would sleep for a full day.
