Chapter 146 - Soybean (1/2)

Ch146 – Soybean

Only after they’d finished eating and gone back to their room did Zhou Ji start detailing the energy problem in Shi Li’s body to Xiong Ye.

“There’s a great many kinds of energy in Shi Li’s body, and it’s rather unnatural.” Zhou Ji summed it up like this.

“Each person only has one crystal core and should only have one kind of energy. His seems like… Could it be that he has other people’s crystal cores in his body?” Xiong Ye asked.

Zhou Ji was shocked.

Zhou Ji had been puzzled by Shi Li’s situation but hadn’t been able to come up with an explanation for it until he heard Xiong Ye’s words this time.

Shi Li… might really have done what Xiong Ye said and taken other people’s crystal cores into his own body.

If that was the case, then Xiang Tian should have been the same as well.

Zhou Ji suddenly felt a little sick.

The crystal cores in beastmen’s bodies would collapse and dissipate when they died. Wouldn’t someone have to dig out the crystal core while the other person was still alive in order to obtain it?

Zhou Ji acknowledged that he wasn’t a good person, but he also felt that using such a method to increase one’s strength wasn’t very acceptable.

If that was really the case, then for Shi Li to become a Beast King, he must have obtained someone else’s crystal core, a crystal core that could enable him to become a Beast King…

Zhou Ji suddenly thought of how Xiang Tian still hadn’t arrived to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice. Back then, it had also been Xiang Tian who had taken Shi Li away.

Did the crystal core in Shi Li’s body belong to Xiang Tian?

If that really was the case, then Xiang Tian had really brought about his own demise. He had dug out other people’s crystal cores, and as a result, his own crystal core had also become someone else’s.

In fact, Shi Li hadn’t benefitted much––with a crystal core like that, he probably didn’t dare to use it casually. In the future, he might still have problems with his crystal core.

Zhou Ji had been a little defensive against Shi Li before, but now, he didn’t feel any threat from Shi Li at all.

It was Xiong Ye who was a little disgruntled. He noticed Zhou Ji’s expression and said, “Could it be that Shi Li really did something like that? That’s too wrong.”

“Let’s stop talking about others.” Zhou Ji hugged Xiong Ye and gave him a kiss. “We’ve been on the road for the past few days and haven’t even had a chance to kiss properly…”

Zhou Ji was talking into his ear, and Xiong Ye felt that his ear was starting to heat up. His face also turned warm…

After a good night’s sleep.

Xiong Ye pulled Zhou Ji’s hand off his head and grumbled, “You haven’t turned into your animal form for me to touch at all.”

Zhou Ji rubbed his nose and no longer spoke.

He hadn’t really looked at his own animal form much either…

Today was the first day of the market.

Early the next morning, there were a lot of people outside the place where the Big Bear Tribe was staying.

In such an era, information traveled very slowly. But it was different when everyone was living together in such close proximity––by the end of last night, almost every tribe that had come to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice knew that the Big Bear Tribe had a lot of pottery.

All the tribes that could come to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice were relatively rich and had at least solved their need for food and clothing. Since that was the case, they were now looking for luxury goods and identity markers… Coincidentally, pottery played a role in this.

When the people of the Big Bear Tribe woke up, they discovered that their surroundings were full of people. These people even said one after another, “I heard that you have pottery? I want to trade for pottery.”

“I want to trade for pottery too. What kind of things do you want in return?”

“I want a pottery pot!”

……

Everyone was speaking, and Xiong Qi interrupted, “I’m sorry, we aren’t trading.”

“Why won’t you trade?” Some of the people outside were unhappy.

Xiong Qi said, “We’re using it ourselves! We can’t trade them.”

They had asked Zhou Ji yesterday about the matter of trade, wanting to know if Zhou Ji wanted to take some things out to trade with.

Zhou Ji hadn’t even hesitated before refusing.

What they had brought with them to trade for salt with the Beach Tribe was still all in their hands, and they also had some salt they had taken from the Beach Tribe. However, they didn’t have much, and everything they had on them could be used.

Since that was the case, they didn’t need to take it out to trade with others.

Of course, if he saw something he liked, he could still definitely trade some of it away.

“You have so many pottery pots, surely you can’t use them all, right?” Someone said.
