Chapter 96 - Empty Cave (2/2)

It was late at night, and everyone had slowly fallen asleep.

Zhou Ji approached quietly, then took Xiong Ye away.

When Xiong Ye woke up, he discovered that someone was holding him around the waist and moving forward. This feeling was very familiar… He looked up and saw the man who had taught him how to cultivate.

Xiong Ye was full of surprise.

He hadn’t seen this person in a long time and had thought that this person might never appear in front of him again. Unexpectedly, he had shown up again. How awesome!

Xiong Ye was rather excited, “Lord…”

He was tossed into a tree hollow just after he started speaking. He then heard the man say, “I’m going to teach you some new things. Listen carefully.”

The man soon finished explaining the new cultivation method and told him to give it a try. After he had learned how to do it, the man brought him back and tossed him down.

Xiong Ye: “……” This powerful lord really came and went in a hurry!

However, the cultivation method he taught him this time was really better than the last one… Was it because he had become stronger that he had gotten a better method?

Xiong Ye began to cultivate seriously, but he was still a little puzzled.

Before, he would feel energized every time he woke up from sleep, but he had no such feeling now… Was it because he had been too tired after leaving the Big Bear Tribe and hadn’t had any proper rest?

Xiong Ye was confused, but he didn’t think too much about it.

He readied himself, then went off to make more trouble for the Giant Tiger Tribe.

Beastman Continent.

Shi Li squinted as he climbed up the mountain.

In his previous life, after their tribe had been attacked by the Giant Tiger Tribe, he and Xiong Ye had led some of the people of the tribe to leave the place where they had grown up.

In the years that followed, they had had a very difficult time. Later on, they learned that there was a Beastman Continent on the other side of the huge river.

They hadn’t planned to go to the Beastman Continent when they had first learned of it, and it wasn’t until they heard from others that there were many powerful people on the Beastman Continent that they had changed their minds.

They had wanted revenge. In order to get their revenge, they would need to become stronger.

They came up with a way to make a wooden boat. Xiong Ye connected pieces of wood together, and they unhesitatingly began to try and cross the river.

They had also been lucky; they happened to meet with others who were also trying to cross the river when they attempted to cross. Following behind those people, they were actually able to arrive safely.

The ones who had crossed the river in front of them had been Zhu Zhan of the Giant Pig Tribe.

After arriving at the Beastman Continent, they had continued to wander. They had initially spent their days in worse living conditions than before, but they then found a cultivation method on a mountain, and their lives became better-they became stronger, and by virtue of their strength, were finally able to join a large tribe.

After that, their lives grew better and better.

What Shi Li was currently looking for was precisely that cave where the cultivation method had been carved.

Back then, he and Xiong Ye had destroyed the cave after learning the cultivation method. This time, he was coming here for the sole purpose of destroying the cave.

He didn’t want anyone else to see that cultivation method!

With that in mind, Shi Li’s progress up the mountain sped up.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, he took a rest under a tree.

Everything here… was quite familiar. The survivors of the tribe had lived here for a while. At the time, they had been unable to catch any prey, and Xiong Ye could only gnaw on grass to assuage his hunger.

Shi Li thought of the things that happened back then and stilled for a moment.

He was thinking about Xiong Ye again.

When he had been together with Xiong Ye in his previous life, he had felt that Xiong Ye was very annoying. Now, however, he missed Xiong Ye a little.

At this moment in time, the Giant Tiger Tribe should have already begun to attack the Big Bear Tribe, right? He wondered if Xiong Ye was in danger…

Shi Li was a little upset.

But he soon suppressed these feelings.

While the others might not be alright, Xiong Ye should still be fine. The priest would tell Xiong Ye to lead the young people of the tribe away!

But… would they be able to get away without him?

Hold on, even though he wasn’t there anymore, Xiong Qi hadn’t died…

Shi Li was inexplicably upset when he thought about how his position might have been usurped by Xiong Qi, but he soon thought of something else that cheered him up.

Zhou Ji didn’t even have an animal form. Even if Xiong Ye tried to protect him during that disaster, he probably wouldn’t survive.

Shi Li laughed lightly and continued moving forward.

He soon arrived at the cave that had given him such good fortune in his previous life.

This cave looked a little different from what he had seen in his previous life. It was rather messy on the outside, but it could be because he couldn’t remember it clearly.

Shi Li strode into the cave and was suddenly attacked by some bugs…

There hadn’t been such a thing in his previous life! Shi Li was a little depressed and frowned. He had no choice but to kill the bugs first.

It took him a lot of effort to kill off the bugs and tear down the plants covering the entrance in order to let light stream into the cave.

The way the cave looked was a little different from what he had seen in his previous life.

The walls of the cave should be flat, but they were clearly uneven now. Not only that, there wasn’t any illustrations on them at all!

The interior of the cave, which should’ve held the cultivation method, was completely empty.

What was going on? Could it be that the person who had carved the method here last time hadn’t had time to do so yet?

But that wasn’t right. In his previous life, other than he and Xiong Ye, he hadn’t encountered anyone else who could cultivate!

Shi Li suddenly thought of a possibility.

The Beast God had given them this cultivation method in his previous life. Now, he already knew how to do it, so the Beast God didn’t need to pass it on to him and there was nothing here…

That must be it!
