Chapter 111 - Beach Tribe (1/2)
Ch111 - Beach Tribe
Although Zhou Ji had become very curious about the Beastman Continent ever since they received news about a person there they suspected to be Shi Li, he still had no plans to go there himself.
Firstly, he was very lazy and didn’t want to travel that far. Secondly, he was still concerned about his own illness.
According to Zhu Zhan, crossing the river was a very dangerous matter. If something happened in the middle of the crossing, and his illness acted up… In the end, not only would the people around him be killed, he would also end up dead after exhausting himself.
Therefore, it was better for him to stay safe and sound over in the wild forest.
Perhaps when Xiong Ye grew more powerful and became a Beast King, he could go with Xiong Ye to visit the Beastman Continent and have a look around while searching for some edible plants that they could bring back and grow at home.
The list of dishes that he could create right now was still too monotonous.
Zhu Zhan and the others had stayed with the tribe for a long time and had also helped Xiong Ye become a medium level Beast Warrior. Although Zhou Ji wasn’t willing to take any risks for their sake, he didn’t mind helping them look into how to build a boat.
The simplest method was to tie a bunch of wood together with vines, but it likely wouldn’t be sturdy enough. On the other hand, they could try drilling holes in the wood and then threading wood or vines through the holes to connect everything together.
Zhou Ji had quite a few ideas. Before they set out, he made himself a set of sticks out of branches, intending to try his hand at crafting something by hand while traveling on Xiong Ye’s back.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe finished eating, then they packed everything up and prepared to depart while Zhu Zhan and his men tied up One-Eyed Wolf and her team.
One-Eyed Wolf was very dissatisfied, “Zhu Zhan, what are you trying to do?”
“I plan to go back. You’re going to go back with me.” Zhu Zhan said. Crossing the river was very dangerous, so it was best if he could find a few more people to cross together with him… Since One-Eyed Wolf had sent herself to his door, he naturally wouldn’t let her go now.
As for whether or not One-Eyed Wolf was willing… Even if she wasn’t willing now, she would be in the same boat as him once they boarded and wouldn’t be able to escape by then!
One-Eyed Wolf froze slightly when she heard Zhu Zhan’s words, but she didn’t say anything else.
“You want to go back, don’t you?” Zhu Zhan exclaimed.
“Of course I want to go back. I want to go back and tear those people’s bodies into ten thousand pieces!” One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was very cold.
“In that case, we’ll go back together.” Zhu Zhan repeated.
“Yes… Since we plan to go back together, shouldn’t you let me go?” One-Eyed Wolf asked.
“No.” Zhu Zhan refused her.
One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was ugly, “Men are all vile creatures!”
The team continued on their way as usual, and when they departed, Xiong Ye once again turned into his animal form. A chair that Zhou Ji could sit on was then tied to his body-his animal form was too large, and it was no longer easy to ride on his back, so he had simply decided to make a stool like this so that Zhou Ji could sit more comfortably on his back.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe had seen it so often that they no longer found it strange, and there were even people amongst them who wanted to carry Zhou Ji themselves, but One-Eyed Wolf and the others were a little shocked by this scene. One-Eyed Wolf couldn’t hold back and even asked Zhu Zhan, “I heard others call the person that’s riding on the bear Zhou Ji. Is this Zhou Ji a high level Beast Warrior?” Someone who could make a medium level Beast Warrior like Xiong Ye allow them to ride on his back should be a high level Beast Warrior, right?
“No.” Zhu Zhan said, “He doesn’t even have an animal form.”
“How can that be!” One-Eyed Wolf exclaimed.
“He’s the Beast God’s messenger. You need to be a little more respectful towards him.” Zhu Zhan said. He didn’t feel much friendship towards One-Eyed Wolf, but he needed her to contribute her strength if he wanted to go back, so he was a little more patient with her.
“The Beast God’s messenger? You still believe in these things?” One-Eyed Wolf laughed coldly, “I think he’s a liar!”
Zhou Ji: “……”
Zhou Ji was some distance away from One-Eyed Wolf and her people, but thanks to his spiritual powers, he could hear everything that One-Eyed Wolf and the others were saying.
He could hear everything that One-Eyed Wolf was saying behind his back very clearly.
However, he didn’t care.
He already had a basic understanding about One-Eyed Wolf.
This One-Eyed Wolf had many negative opinions about men due to being betrayed by one before. She was also angry and jealous, and found nothing pleasing to her eyes. In short, she wasn’t very likeable.
Of course, that didn’t mean that he disliked her-Zhou Ji was currently very indifferent and calm towards most things.
Zhou Ji used the wooden sticks to make two different rafts as a reference for Zhu Zhan.
“Thank you.” Zhu Zhan accepted the two wooden models. At the same time, he was training himself non-stop; he had gone out to catch a lot of prey and was also eating like crazy.
Zhou Ji knew that he was doing all this in order to strengthen himself.
However, Zhu Zhan was a medium level Beast Warrior, and it wasn’t that easy to become a high level Beast Warrior. Zhu Zhan wouldn’t be able to reach the next level without first spending several years accumulating power even if Zhou Ji gave Zhu Zhan the cultivation method he had developed for Xiong Ye.
Zhou Ji simply decided to stop worrying about it.
Their team continued on. Zhou Ji finally learned that the Beach Tribe was actually located by the sea near the mouth of the river that Zhu Zhan was so afraid of but still determined to cross.
On one hand, Zhu Zhan had decided to leave after sending them to their destination out of gratitude, but the other reason was because he planned to travel along the river after arriving at the Beach Tribe and look for a suitable place to attempt a river crossing.
The fact that Zhu Zhan and his men wanted to leave left the people of the Big Bear Tribe a little downcast. At the same time, they sensed that Zhu Zhan was very anxious, and everyone picked up the pace and traveled faster.
After two days of travel, Zhu Zhan released One-Eyed Wolf and her group and no longer kept them tied up. After being let go, One-Eyed Wolf and her people didn’t attempt to escape and instead stayed behind with them.
