Chapter 74.2 - Giant Pig (2/2)

“Bones can be straightened?” The priest was dumbfounded.

“Of course they can.” Zhou Ji replied. Based on the medical skills of this era, it was very possible that after someone’s leg was broken, they might end up with legs of uneven lengths or other problems even if their legs healed straight.

However, he had his spiritual strength and energy. If he used the two, he could make it so that people could recover properly from broken bones.

Of course, if this person became problematic, he could just break their leg again… He wouldn’t harm others, but he could have Xiong Ye break their leg if things came to that.

“This… this…” The priest started, “Isn’t he a blasphemer?”

“A blasphemer?” Zhou Ji asked.

“The reason why people’s legs are crooked is that they offended the Beast God!” The priest said.

Zhou Ji: The Beast God really doesn’t exist! Why do you all like to bring up the Beast God at every possible opportunity?

The priest became excited again, “Zhou Ji, you really deserve to be the Beast God’s messenger. You even know how to cure blasphemers!”

Zhou Ji: “……”

The priest then asked, “There is a blasphemer in our tribe too. Can you heal him?”

Now that the priest said so, Zhou Ji recalled that there was a lame person in the tribe.

This man usually worked with the gathering team. Although one of his legs wasn’t usable, he was still able to continue living on. Zhou Ji hadn’t interacted with him before, so he hadn’t thought about healing him.

One had to remember that he had still been trying to hide all his abilities a while ago!

Zhou Ji said, “It can be cured, but his leg has to be broken again and left to heal again.”

“That’s great, that’s really great!” The priest suddenly burst into tears, “Can you help cure him?”

His teacher had always thought of himself as a blasphemer and had always been very depressed. If it could be cured…

The priest was already so old. Now that he suddenly burst out in tears… Zhou Ji said, “Yes.”

Zhou Ji was soon invited back to the priest’s cave by the priest. A while later, the priest brought back that man with the lame leg.

The lame man didn’t know about blasphemers and only knew that his lame leg could be healed. He was instantly extremely grateful, “Zhou Ji, thank you! Thank you so much!”

“No need.” Zhou Ji said.

Then he heard this man say, “Right, right. I should thank the Beast God. It must be that the great Beast God heard my prayers and made it so that I could be cured!” He had prayed that his leg could be cured during the Beast God Sacrifice.

Zhou Ji: “……” The Beast God again!

Zhou Ji told the man to break his own leg.

There was no other way. Everyone in the tribe had gone out to bring back meat. Only him and some of the weak and elderly hadn’t gone. The priest was old and frail and was even weaker than the man…

After the man broke his own leg, he fell to the ground in pain. And because he hadn’t done it skillfully enough, the bone hadn’t been pushed back into place…

Zhou Ji could only use more of his spiritual powers and energy to help him straighten out the bone. He then had the priest bring out a few sticks to tie to his leg, straightening it and keeping it in place.

With this done, Zhou Ji said, “Take care during your recovery. It should be better after half a month, and one month later, it’ll be the same as it was before.” These beastmen’s physical recovery ability was really, really good!

“Thank you, thank you!” This person was crying as he spoke.

The priest was also crying at the same time, tears rolling incessantly down his wrinkled face.

Zhou Ji called the priest outside and found a place where nobody else was around, “What exactly is a blasphemer?”

The priest immediately explained the beliefs about blasphemers.

Zhou Ji suddenly interjected, “So… that person just now might be a blasphemer in exile?”

That man’s leg had been injured less than a month ago. When an injury like that happened amongst the tribes here, people would at least try to recover––even if it healed crooked, it was still better than losing a leg, right?

That man was different. He seemed not to want his own leg to recover.

If it was someone from outside, then it made sense…

Zhou Ji was very curious about the outside world. He rather wished that the man would wake up earlier.

At this time, Xiong He and the others had just cut the Barosaurus into eight pieces when they saw a group of animals run out of the forest.

The leader of these people had an animal form similar to the person who had run out to bite the Barosaurus’s neck, but his animal form was much smaller.

When these people saw Xiong He and the others, they immediately shifted back into their human forms, set down the things they were holding in their mouths, and put back on their clothes.

The clothing that these people were wearing was similar to the ones made by Zhou Ji! Who were these people?

Xiong He was on guard as he watched these people.

The person who led the group smiled and asked, “Have you guys seen anyone with the same animal form as me?”

Xiong He thought about it, “We saw him! He ran over here and fought with this Barosaurus. Then, he fainted for some reason… I asked someone to bring him back to the tribe so that the priest could treat him.” He felt that… he wouldn’t be able to beat the people in front of him in a fight.

He definitely couldn’t let them know that that person had been poisoned!
