Chapter 162 - Extra: Mini Elephant (1/2)
Ch162 – Extra: Mini Elephant
Zhou Ji… was only diligent for one day and carried Xiong Ye on his back for that entire one day.
The next day, he was back to lying down again.
However, after he’d expressed himself that way, nobody ever looked at Xiong Ye with condemnation in their eyes ever again. As for looking down on Xiong Ye… this had never been a possibility in the first place.
At the end of the day, Xiong Ye was a Beast King. Who dared to look down on a Beast King?
After leaving the Beast God Temple, they went to pay a visit to the Giant Pig Tribe first.
Zhou Ji had originally wanted to let the people of the Giant Pig Tribe go home and stay there, but unexpectedly, they were unwilling to stay behind, and all cried and shouted to be allowed to follow him. They even said that the Big Bear Tribe didn’t need to take care of them at all and simply let them follow behind them.
Since these people wanted to follow them, then let them… Zhou Ji didn’t stop them.
After that, they went to the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe.
Information moved very slowly among the tribes, and the Rhinoceros Beast King had also arranged some things so that the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe didn’t even know what had happened at the Beast God Temple by the time they arrived in the area.
They didn’t expose their identity and didn’t even enter the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe. They stayed in the area for a night and then left, but the Rhinoceros Beast King stayed behind––he planned to clean up the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe.
And when they left the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe…
“The Grass Tribe is over that way. Let’s go there tonight.” Zhou Ji pointed in a direction. The last time he’d come, he’d noticed that the Grass Tribe had planted a lot of vegetables. He wanted to see if they’d grown yet.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Xiong Qi answered him immediately.
At the beginning, when they first learned that Zhou Ji was the ‘Beast God’, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had found it a little difficult to adjust.
But now, it had already been half a month since they left the Beast God Temple. They could see for themselves that Zhou Ji was the same as before and hadn’t changed at all, so the people of the Big Bear Tribe gradually calmed down and were no longer afraid of Zhou Ji. However, nobody called him Zhou Ji anymore.
After consulting with the priests of the Beast God Temple, they finally decided on a unique form of address––Your Majesty!
Thus, Zhou Ji became His Majesty the Beast God.
Seeing that Xiong Qi had answered, Zhou Ji continued, “Arrange for someone to go over and let them know in advance that we’re coming.”
The people of the Grass Tribe were very timid. It was better to send word ahead in order to avoid scaring them.
“I’ll go!” Xiong Qi happily left to do as he was asked.
So, by the time the main group arrived, Zhou Ji found that everyone from the Grass Tribe was standing at the gate to their tribe, waiting for them to come.
As soon as the people of the Grass Tribe saw the people of the Big Bear Tribe, they called out happily, “Welcome friends!”
Xiong Qi had only told the people of the Grass Tribe that they were coming back and hadn’t told them anything about Zhou Ji being the Beast God. Because of that, the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe only had joy in his eyes and no awe when he greeted them. When he saw Zhou Ji, he even said, “Zhou Ji, your new reclining chair is really beautiful!”
Zhou Ji said, “I think so too.” The craftsmen of the Beast God Temple had some level of skill and had already learned to inlay things. There were many gems inlaid in the reclining chair, and the gems were very beautiful to look at.
“Your Big Bear Tribe is truly rich… Are the people behind you newcomers to the Big Bear Tribe?” The Grass Tribe’s tribal chief inquired.
Zhou Ji nodded.
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe looked at these people enviously, but then he was puzzled, “Some of them look very powerful, but others look very weak. Others look rather old… Does your Big Bear Tribe accept all kinds of people?”
The high level Beast Warriors who looked powerful puffed out their chests.
The weak-looking priests: “……” They didn’t have muscles because they were busy praying every day!
Those that looked rather old… those were in fact the several Beast Kings that Zhou Ji hadn’t killed.
Back then, Zhou Ji had fought against those Beast Kings and had accidentally killed two of them, but four of them hadn’t died. He had given these four Beast Kings some basic healing and then taken them all with him.
He didn’t plan to kill them, but letting them off was impossible––these people were Beast Kings, and it wouldn’t be easy to clean up any mess if they decided to cause trouble!
Therefore, he simply decided to bring the four Beast Kings with him and then ordered them to help with some of the chores.
These powerful Beast Kings were really capable. Ever since he obtained these Beast Kings, Hai Feng, who had previously always been called upon by Zhou Ji to do this and that had been liberated. He could now focus on raising his child… bringing up Xi Baobei.
These Beast Kings all choked and were left speechless by the Grass Tribe’s tribal chief’s words.
“We know, Your Majesty.” The four Beast Kings all answered him, then left with tears in their eyes.
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe was a little confused, “You guys… why are you telling the elderly to go hunting?”
The ‘elderly’ who were about to leave all staggered.
Hai Feng broke out into loud laughter when he heard this. When he started laughing, Xi Baobei who was next to him also followed suit and laughed along with him.
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe: “……” Did something funny happen?
The Grass Tribe was very poor and could only take out a variety of vegetables to entertain Zhou Ji and the others.
As it so happened, these vegetables were all foods that Zhou Ji liked.
However, just before Zhou Ji began to cook, they could feel the earth shuddering.
The people of the Grass Tribe subconsciously wanted to escape, and in fact, the most timid among them had already begun to flee, but after a while… They suddenly realized that something wasn’t right.
The situation unfolding in front of them was very familiar!
The last time the Big Bear Tribe had come to them, Hai Feng had gone out hunting and ultimately brought back two large crocodiles. Wasn’t the noise this time very similar?
The chief of the Grass Tribe looked at the people of the Big Bear Tribe and found that they were very calm. He immediately relaxed and glanced at the person behind him, “Calm down, calm down. It should be the people of the Big Bear Tribe who are coming back from hunting! Don’t be scared.”
The people of the Grass Tribe really did calm down after their tribal chief called out these words, but they were also some who were rather dazed––previously, that Zhou Ji had only sent those four old people out to hunt… Could it be that those elderly people had brought back a big one?
Of course those four old people had caught big ones. They had also caught other things––there were so many people in the group, and they all needed to eat dinosaur meat. Zhou Ji didn’t like dinosaur meat though, so they could only go and hunt some other things after taking down a Stegosaurus.
Dinosaur eggs, birds, fish… The four Beast Kings split up the work and obtained a bit of everything.
They had been Beast Kings for a long time. Although it couldn’t be said that they’d stopped hunting completely after they had become Beast Kings, they didn’t often make a move personally. Now, though, they were hunting every day.
A giant ape holding a Stegosaurus appeared in front of the crowd, and then three more people appeared, each setting down the things they held in their hands.
That giant ape was the Ape Beast King’s animal form.
The great ape was the largest of the ape species. They were twice the height of gorillas and three times their weight. They could reach over three meters tall when standing and couldn’t even climb trees because they were too heavy.
However, there was no doubt that their combat power was much higher than that of a giant elephant or a giant rhinoceros.
Previously, he hadn’t been able to resist the temptation of the cultivation method and had fought against Xiong Ye. After that, he’d been beaten by Zhou Ji but had been fortunate enough to keep his life. Now, he helped Zhou Ji with the things he needed done every day.
Ever since they’d left the Beast God Temple, the Ape Beast King and the others had already been hunting daily for half a month. They were used to doing these things, but the people of the Grass Tribe were stunned when they saw his animal form.
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe covered his chest with his hands and stared at the Ape Beast King and the other Beast Kings in disbelief, “So big… Why is he so big?”
“He’s a Beast King. Of course he’s big.” Hai Feng laughed gleefully.
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe: “……”
Last time when the people of the Big Bear Tribe had come to him, Xiong Ye had said that he was the tribal chief, and the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe hadn’t believed it. Now, however…
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe turned his head stiffly to look at Hai Feng. “He’s a Beast King, so are you also a Beast King?”
“Yes!” Hai Feng said. “I told you that before!”
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt down on the ground. He trembled as he asked, “You… you guys… who exactly are you?”
Hai Feng continued, “We’re all from the Big Bear Tribe.”
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe was in a daze. Was it that he knew too little of the world? The Big Bear Tribe had so many Beast Kings, but he’d never heard of them before!
The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe immediately decided that he would go and visit the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe tomorrow to obtain more news.
It had been a long time since the Beast God Sacrifice ended, and the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe should have returned by now. He could also inquire about how the Beast God Sacrifice had gone.
The people of the Grass Tribe had no chance to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice, but they had always yearned to go.
