Chapter 84 - Moving In

This was his only remaining child; Hou Shi cared about him deeply and hadn’t used any force when he smacked him on the head. Even then, he still managed to annoy his woman.

The woman shoved Hou Shi’s head with more force than Hou Shi had used on their child, then said, “What are you hitting your child for? Can’t you see that there are a lot of people playing with mud?”

Although she didn’t know why these people were all playing with mud, their child wasn’t the only one doing so, so wasn’t it likely that they were trying to do something?

With that in mind, this woman immediately knelt down in front of the priest and began to kowtow, “Thank you, thank you all, you are all really good people!”

The priest laughed lightly, “There’s no need for that… Hurry up and eat. After eating, bring the injured over for treatment.”

“Treatment?” These people were a little confused.

The priest laughed and didn’t explain. Someone next to the priest spoke up instead, “Our tribe has a priest, as well as a messenger from the Beast God. They can heal the wounds on your body!”

Was there really something so amazing? These people were shocked once again.

In particular, they were surprised by the fact that there was actually a messenger of the Beast God in this tribe.

They all knew of the Beast God, and knew that they were people of the Beast God, but they didn’t know that something like a messenger of the Beast God even existed in this world

“Are you the Beast God’s messenger?” Someone’s expression was full of awe as they asked this.

“I’m the Big Bear Tribe’s priest.” The priest replied, “The Beast God’s messenger is more powerful than I am!”

These people felt that this man in front of them already looked noble enough; but the Beast God’s messenger was even more powerful than he was?! They were about to ask again when the priest pointed to Zhou Ji who was lounging under a tree not far from where they were, “That is the Beast God’s messenger.”

Zhou Ji was lying down on recliner and had several plates filled with various fresh fruits set out on a small table nearby. From time to time, he would pick up some fruit to snack on.

Of course, the most striking things about him were his clothing and shoes, as well as his appearance.

Beastmen experienced both the scorching sun and drenching rain from childhood on up and were generally very rough looking, but Zhou Ji… had really been brought up well.

Anyone could tell at first glance that he had never done any hard work!

No wonder he was the Beast God’s messenger!

The crowd was filled with awe and respect. At the same time, they also noticed that the man who had fallen unconscious from fever had been brought over to the Beast God’s messenger by the great Lord who had led them over.

That man was about to die. Was the Beast God’s messenger really capable of curing him?

Also, this feverish person was both dirty and smelly, and they weren’t sure if that would annoy the Beast God’s messenger… They were rather worried, to the point where they even resisted the temptation of the earth egg and meat stew in order to watch the scene that was unfolding over there.

Zhou Ji certainly wouldn’t be offended by such a thing, but he also wouldn’t involve himself too deeply… After glancing at the man, he brought out a relatively sharp pottery shard that he had ground down to a sharp edge and handed it to Xiong Ye, “Cut off the rotting flesh from his body. I’ll go and bring back some herbs.”

While doing so, he also singled out some of the more severely injured people within the group of slaves, telling them to hurry up and finish their earth egg and boiled meat stew so that they could come over for additional treatment.

This so-called treatment unexpectedly required them to first dig out a portion of their flesh… The slaves who heard this idea felt a little confused, but it was the Beast God’s messenger who told them to do so. So there had to be a reason behind it, right?

While they were thinking about this, the people from the Little Brook Tribe who had been treated by Zhou Ji before spoke up and told this new group of severely injured people, “You are lucky that you didn’t collapse halfway and actually managed to make it here alive. The Beast God’s messenger is particularly powerful and will definitely be able to save you!”

Was the Beast God’s messenger really so powerful? The people who had originally just been waiting for death now had traces of hope in their eyes.

Zhou Ji liked these kinds of people.

Beastmen all had very good physiques. As long as their psychological condition was improved a little… These people wouldn’t die and may even recover very quickly.

Once the herbs were ready, and Zhou Ji had finished explaining what needed to be done to Xiong Ye, instructing him to wash the pottery shard in water and dip it in boiling water after scraping off the rotting flesh of each person in order to prevent contamination, Zhou Ji found another clean place to lie back down.

Although the sun was strong, and the heat emanating from the fire pit quite hot, the breeze was actually quite cool due to the lush vegetation. Now that he was lying down in the shade and enjoying the wind, Zhou Ji started to feel a little sleepy.

In any case, he had already secretly helped out a few of the escaped slaves who had been in danger of losing their lives. The pottery wouldn’t finish firing anytime soon, so he might as well take a nap first.

Zhou Ji closed his eyes and slept very comfortably.

After those slaves finished eating the earth eggs and boiled meat stew and drank the ginseng soup, their situation had already improved a lot.

Most of them didn’t know what they should do at the moment, but Hou Shi and his woman had already been pulled over to make pottery by their child, “The Beast God’s messenger told us to make bowls and pots with the mud. The surface must be very smooth!”

The child carefully instructed his parents on what needed to be done.

He really liked this task and could complete it very well, to the point where he had received several compliments for his work.

That only served to make him enjoy his work even more!

Hou Shi and his woman began to work seriously at this task. They also asked, “Have you been well recently?”

This child whose animal form was a lemur was named Hou Bao; he nodded solemnly, “Very well! There’s meat to eat every day!” In the past, he hadn’t eaten that well when they had still been in the Green Hill Tribe. After all, his family’s animal forms weren’t very useful.

His father’s animal form was a monkey and was also quite small. Even if he joined the hunting team, he could only help by scouting ahead and couldn’t do anything if they actually encountered dinosaurs, so their share of the meat would naturally be very small. Also, he had once had three little brothers and sisters in his family… Even if there was more to eat, he would feel too embarrassed to eat much more.

Hou Shi knew that his child hadn’t lied.

Their child had gotten fatter!

It had only been half a month since they had seen each other, but their child had fattened up!
