Chapter 138 - Father (1/2)
As a Beast King, the Rhinoceros Beast King’s traveling speed was very fast. Making his way alone, it only took him a few days to return to the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s territory.
His son Xi An had already been missing for a long time, and the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe didn’t know where he’d gone, but they had found the stretch of forest that had been crushed by Hai Feng and brought back several meat patties from there.
Based on the things left beside the meat patties, the meat patties should have previously been one of the groups of people in the tribe who had gone out to look for Xi An, but they didn’t know who had been crazy enough to flatten all of them into meat patties.
As for Xi An, they didn’t know what had happened to him…
The tribal chief of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe immediately told the Rhinoceros Beast King everything he knew when he saw him.
The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s expressions turned ugly. He went to the small tribe near the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe and then heard from the people of the Grass Tribe that the Big Bear Tribe had been passing through at the time.
Although it had been some time ago, there were a lot of people in the Big Bear Tribe, and they had left a lot of tracks. According to those tracks… The meat patties had been created by the people of the Big Bear Tribe, and Xi An might be in their hands. Or perhaps he was already…
The Rhinoceros Beast King arranged for people to continue searching around the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, but he himself followed the tracks left by the Big Bear Tribe and began to chase after the Big Bear Tribe.
The Rhinoceros Beast King ran the entire way and finally arrived at the Giant Pig tribe after one afternoon of traveling.
The Giant Pig Tribe had a large stretch of farmland. At this time, the people of the Giant Pig Tribe were tossing the excrement tainted soil that they had cleaned out of their own tribe into the field and plowing it over again.
This was something that Zhu Zhan had told them to do. Although they didn’t know why they needed to do it this way, they were willing to follow his orders.
Zhu Zhan had said that when they went to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice in a few days, they would select some of the best performers from the tribe to bring with them… Everyone was fighting for this opportunity.
And in order to get this chance, they naturally had to work hard to perform well.
“If I can follow the Beast Kings to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice, I will definitely serve them well. Perhaps I’ll be able to join the Big Bear Tribe then!”
“Even if I can’t join the Big Bear Tribe, just being close to the Beast Kings is something I never even dared to dream of!”
“Apart from the Sea Beast King, the other two Beast Kings are so young. The people from the wild forest are so powerful!”
These people were chatting as they farmed, but suddenly, a red-eyed middle-aged man appeared in front of them.
“Which tribe are you from?” The Rhinoceros Beast King asked.
He had come here to ask because it was obvious that a large tribe lived here.
“We belong to the Giant Pig Tribe.” The Giant Pig Tribe’s people replied.
“Have you seen a tribe called the Big Bear Tribe?” The Rhinoceros Beast King asked.
“You’re here to find people from the Big Bear Tribe? They’re in our tribe.” The person from the Giant Pig Tribe replied. He wanted to ask who this person in front of him was, but he didn’t have a chance to speak before the Rhinoceros Beast King disappeared.
“Who was that person?” The people of the Giant Pig Tribe were puzzled. “He’s so fast!”
“That speed… He was gone in the blink of an eye! Even the tribal chief can’t do this, right?” Someone next to him asked.
These people looked at each other and suddenly thought of a possibility. “Say, could this be another Beast King?”
Another Beast King? That was really possible!
This person was coming to find the Big Bear Tribe, so… did that mean the Big Bear Tribe had four Beast Kings?
The people of the Big Bear Tribe were really amazing!
The Rhinoceros Beast King didn’t know what these people were thinking. At this moment, he was contemplating some bad possibilities with dread in his mind.
His youngest son had been very smart when he was born, but he had gotten sick with a fever when he was about four or five years old…
The child had nearly died at the time. He had spent a lot of effort in order to keep him alive, but the child had become a bit silly from then on.
For the past ten years, he had spent a lot of time and effort on this silly child. He felt that in order for this child to be able to live well, he would need to have sufficient power, so he had constantly been looking for a Beast God Fruit for him.
Yet as a result, he hadn’t found a Beast God Fruit yet, but his child had disappeared!
The Rhinoceros Beast King felt that his own child was most likely dead.
The people of this Big Bear Tribe were so fierce that they would flatten people into meat patties. How likely was it that they would look after his silly son who couldn’t do anything on his own?
If they had planned to take good care of his son… Then they should have taken his son back to the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe instead of acting like a group of people who were running for their lives and pushing on with their journey.
His son was most likely dead!
The Rhinoceros Beast King thought of this and charged at the Giant Pig Tribe in grief.
As a result, he hadn’t gone far when he ran into Hai Feng, who was bringing back a dinosaur.
Both of their footsteps stilled for a moment when they met, and then they both realized one thing–the other person was a Beast King!
The Rhinoceros Beast King had never seen the Beast King in front of him before. He also knew the Giant Pig Tribe didn’t have any Beast Kings. Since that was the case, then was this Beast King from the Big Bear Tribe?
He had learned about the Big Bear Tribe’s situation from the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe. The tribal chief had said that the Big Bear Tribe had a Beast King, but he hadn’t believed it at the time. Now, however, he was willing to acknowledge that it had been true.
“Did you kill my son?” The Rhinoceros Beast King asked him directly.
“Who knows who your son is?” Hai Feng replied.
The Rhinoceros Beast King had constantly been worried ever since he learned that something had happened to his son, and now that he was faced with the careless and casual Hai Feng, he immediately burst out in a rage. “Return my son to me!”
The Rhinoceros Beast King pounced straight at Hai Feng.
Since the Beast King in front of him had charged at him without any further conversation, did that mean that he was from the Beast God Temple? Hai Feng tossed aside the dinosaur and went to fight the Rhinoceros Beast King.
The Rhinoceros Beast King’s animal form was large, but he wasn’t very suited for attacking–his slender head was too small, with a long, thin neck and he lacked sharp fangs in his mouth.
In the past, when he had used his animal form to go up against other types of Beast Kings, those people hadn’t been able to do anything against him, but because they were too small, he hadn’t been able to attack them either.
So, at present, the Rhinoceros Beast King hadn’t switched to his animal form against Hai Feng and had been using his human form to fight.
Although the Rhinoceros Beast King liked to turn into his animal form to chew on grass, he had grown up in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe and had married and had children like other beastmen. He spent most of his time in human form and also sparred with other Beast Kings in human form after he became a Beast King. If nothing else, he as very good at fighting in human form.
It was different for Hai Feng. He had spent most of his life living in his animal form and used his human form very rarely. His combat experience using his human form was limited to when he had thrown the people of the Giant Pig Tribe and sent them flying.
Hai Feng was beaten into retreat. He had originally wanted to run towards Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye, but when he thought of how Zhou Ji wouldn’t be happy if he accidentally knocked down his house, he could only run away while shouting, “Zhou Ji, help!”
Zhou Ji, who was making egg fried rice, had actually already discovered the Rhinoceros Beast King’s arrival. However, he could only act as a mascot… Zhou Ji looked towards Xiong Ye, “Hai Feng encountered some trouble. Go and take a look.”
Xiong Ye rushed out immediately.
At this time, Hai Feng had already arrived just outside the Giant Pig Tribe’s settlement. The people of the Giant Pig Tribe in the area had already run away, and were watching curiously from the side as Hai Feng fought with the Rhinoceros Beast King.
“That person is chasing after Lord Hai to fight. Is he a Beast King too?”
“It seems that Lord Hai can’t win…”
“They all say that Lord Hai can’t be compared with Lord Xiong and Lord Zhou. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do…”
The people of the Giant Pig Tribe had talked secretly about it amongst them before… They had always felt that Hai Feng was very powerful, but unexpectedly, it wasn’t the case…
The Rhinoceros Beast King had the upper hand, but couldn’t do much to Hai Feng anytime soon. Additionally, he had been very tense for the past several days and was at the limits of his endurance…
He turned directly into his animal form, intending to use his animal form to crush the other party.
When he shifted into his animal form, Hai Feng realized what he intended to do and didn’t hesitate to turn into his animal form, either–although his animal type wasn’t suited for combat on land, he was big and would definitely be able to crush the other party!
As for what happened next… Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji should be coming to save him!
During a moment like this, Hai Feng even thought up a wonderful way to fight–he could suddenly turn into his animal form to press people down, then turn back into his human form to attack, then turn back into his animal form to press them down…
