Chapter 112 - Blue Whale (2/2)
However… Although the people of the Big Bear Tribe ate it, they were mostly unable to get accustomed to that heavy fishy taste. Very few of them found the food to be delicious, fresh, or tasty. For example, Xiong Qi was one of the few.
Zhou Ji felt that this might have something to do with his animal form.
Polar bears were supposed to hunt for food in the sea.
As for the others… Zhou Ji didn’t even try a single bite of it. Just the smell was a bit too much for him, and the rest of the people weren’t willing to eat a second one after trying the first. “I would eat it if I was very, very hungry, but I’m not hungry right now… Also, this thing is too small, and it might not be filling to eat it when I’m hungry.”
This was the truth. Although the people of the Big Bear Tribe weren’t picky about food and were also willing to eat food that had gone bad, that was all for the sake of filling up their stomachs. Yellow mud snails were so small that there was no way to become full from eating them. Since that was the case, they saw no reason to make themselves suffer.
The people of the Beach Tribe were very disappointed, “This is such a delicious delicacy, but you guys actually don’t like it?”
“Your Sea God likes this kind of food?” Zhou Ji asked curiously.
Although the Big Bear Tribe and the other tribes all worshiped the Beast God, nobody knew what kind of food the Beast God liked. After all, the Beast God didn’t actually exist.
Yet, the people of this Beach Tribe said that their Sea God liked these yellow mud snails…
“Yes. The Sea God likes this kind of food. We often prepare it for him!” Someone from the Beach Tribe replied.
“Will the Sea God eat it?” Zhou Ji asked.
“Of course he eats it!” Someone from the Beach Tribe confirmed.
When he heard that the people of the Green Hill Tribe had seen the Sea God before, Zhou Ji had felt that the Sea God should really exist. Now that he heard the people of the Beach Tribe say this, he was even more certain.
The Big Bear Tribe had brought a hundred people with them, and the Beach Tribe had no way to provide enough shelter for so many people. Because of this, they ultimately found their own place to settle down and set up camp outside of the tribe.
By the time the people of the Big Bear Tribe had finished settling down, it was already dark.
Instead of sleeping, everyone lit a fire on the beach to chat.
“I’ll be leaving tomorrow.” Zhu Zhan spoke while roasting meat over the fire.
“I hope you’ll have a successful journey.” Zhou Ji replied.
“You can choose some things from the items we brought here to take away with you.” Xiong Ye offered. He had gone hunting together with Zhu Zhan and had killed the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe together with him, and their relationship had become one of deep friendship. He was actually quite worried considering that Zhu Zhan was leaving now and would be heading to a dangerous place.
“Thank you.” Zhu Zhan said. He suddenly laughed, “Can I take away a few more chili peppers?”
Zhou Ji gave him a pack of dried chili peppers.
Zhu Zhan laughed again, “Thank you.”
Zhu Zhan used leather to carefully wrap up the dried chili peppers, then said, “My woman should enjoy this type of seasoning.”
“The chili seeds inside the dried chili peppers can be planted. You can take them out and grow your own in the future.” Zhou Ji said.
“Alright!” Zhu Zhan agreed.
Everyone was still talking, but Zhou Ji’s brows suddenly drew together in a frown.
He could sense that there was a very powerful person nearby whose strength didn’t lose out in comparison to this body’s original owner.
The people of the Beach Tribe were actually quite weak. The most powerful amongst them were initial stage Beast Warriors, but this person was truly very strong, and his animal form was extremely large… This was a Beast King.
Zhou Ji slowly felt out the situation and discovered that the other party’s animal form was that of a blue whale.
Beastmen’s animal form would turn bigger as they became stronger. Normal blue whales were able to reach up to two hundred tons, and their weight could multiply by up to ten times after they became Beast Kings… That fellow weighed over two thousand tons.
It was a very huge creature… Zhou Ji had previously always felt that he was very large, but he now felt that he was a bit small.
His mammoth form really didn’t amount to much when it was compared to this person’s animal form!
The huge blue whale swam around for a while beneath the cliffs of the Beach Tribe before suddenly looking over at them.
At the same time… Zhou Ji sensed a wave of killing intent.
Just as he sensed the killing intent, a column of water sprayed towards them, soaking them all. A voice also rang out, “You’re all… people from the Beast God Temple?”
This sound had come from the blue whale… Were Beast Kings in animal form able to speak?
This thought had only flashed through Zhou Ji’s mind when even more columns of water shot at them. Not only that, the huge whale had also started charging through the water in their direction…
