Ch165.2 – Extra: Working Together

Xiong Mao came over as they ate.

Xiong Mao, whose animal form was that of a panda, looked admiringly at Xiong Ye, “Tribal chief, you’re really powerful!”

After saying so, he looked at Zhou Ji, “You’re even more powerful!”

“Not really.” Zhou Ji smiled as he spoke, then gave him two pieces of small fish that he’d fried himself––fried small fish were very delicious, and he’d made extra so he could occasionally feed them to Xiong Ye as snacks.

Xiong Mao was especially happy as he ate them. Zhou Ji continued, “Turn into your animal form, and let us take a look.” He remembered that Xiong Ye really liked Xiong Mao’s animal form.

Xiong Mao heard this and obediently turned into a little panda.

The little panda had grown up a little, but still didn’t look like an adult. It appeared very cute… Zhou Ji fed it some fried soybeans.

The little panda accepted it in its small paws and gnawed on them one by one. Although the fried soybeans were very hard, the little panda’s teeth could easily bite through a bamboo pole, so chewing fried soybeans was nothing to him at all.

Xiong Ye really liked Xiong Mao’s animal form and couldn’t move his eyes away. He was still looking when he heard Zhou Ji saying, “You like looking at other people’s animal forms so much, I’m jealous. I’ll punish you later.”

Xiong Ye: “……” He felt a sense of inevitability. Zhou Ji was deliberately looking for a reason to ‘punish’ him, right?!

Xiong Ye couldn’t help saying, “In fact, you don’t have to find a reason…” It wasn’t like he was unwilling!

Zhou Ji: “I think it’s hotter to find a reason.”

Alright, we’ll do whatever you like… Xiong Ye acknowledged his fate.

Zhou Ji continued, “In fact, Xiong Mao’s animal form is far less cute than yours.”

“My animal form is cute?” Xiong Ye felt a little helpless. His animal form was fierce and powerful!

“If you became smaller, you’d be cute.” Zhou Ji looked Xiong Ye over as he spoke.

Zhou Ji was saying the truth he felt in his heart.

If he, as an elephant, could become very cute when he shrank, then Xiong Ye’s animal form didn’t even need to be discussed!

If he could cuddle a chubby bear in his arms…

“You must cultivate well with me and become as strong as I am as soon as possible.” Zhou Ji said. If that happened, Xiong Ye would be able to become smaller!

Xiong Ye was rather hesitant, “It’s very difficult for Beast Kings to improve their strength. I…”

“You’ll definitely do it. If you can’t, then nobody will be able to stop me when I go into a frenzy, and I’ll be hurt and feel bad.” Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye.

When he had previously gone into a frenzy at the Beast God Temple, Xiong Ye had brought him back to consciousness, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t go into a frenzy again next time.

He would still fall into a frenzy when triggered, and this kind of problem wouldn’t be solved for a long time.

However, with Xiong Ye there, he believed that he would regain consciousness even if he fell into a frenzy.

“You can’t leave me either. What if I go into a frenzy by accident?” Zhou Ji spoke again.

“I definitely won’t leave you.” Xiong Ye promised.

Zhou Ji was very satisfied with Xiong Ye’s answer and fed him a mouthful of meat.

Xiong Mao was still around, but he had been completely forgotten by Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji…

The little panda rolled around on the ground, unable to attract Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye’s attention. He could only leave sadly and shift back to his human form to eat by the priest––hot pot was really, really delicious! He liked it!

The hot pot feast in the tribe lasted a long time.

With delicious food as the medium, the people of the Big Bear Tribe soon became familiar with the people of the Beast God Temple. Xiong He even sat shoulder to shoulder with one of the priests. He was very fond of these priests, and as for these priests? They also wanted to become friends with Xiong He, the former chief of the Big Bear Tribe and Xiong Ye’s uncle.

The two sides naturally had a good time talking to each other.

Some of the priests also asked the people of the Big Bear Tribe about the Beast God’s past.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe more or less all contributed something. Of all these people, the things the priest of the Big Bear Tribe spoke about was what everyone wanted to hear the most. A lot of people also agreed with him, “Zhou Ji was always different even from childhood. He didn’t leave his cave for nearly twenty years and didn’t speak at all. I think that it was because he was the Beast God and couldn’t adapt well to his body when he first came! Later on, his mother unexpectedly died, and he became a little more enlightened, but because he hadn’t adapted well, he was always sleeping until a certain Beast God Sacrifice…”

The priest spoke with great enthusiasm.

Zhou Ji, who could hear everything through his spiritual powers even though he was far away: “……” The priest of their tribe really knew how to make things up!

Zhou Ji didn’t concern himself with the priest. Instead, he continued to eat and feed his little bear.

The entire valley was filled with the scent of food.

Inside a cave, the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe who’d been forgotten all burst into tears––they were so hungry! Starving!

“I wonder what the Big Bear Tribe is eating, it’s so fragrant.”

“They lied to us before about having no meat… How hateful!”

“They beat us up and tied us here. We must get revenge!”

……

Lang Sha and some of his cronies complained non-stop while swallowing their drool back down.

The people sent by Xi Shi to watch over Lang Sha: “……” Their young chief actually wanted revenge? The other party’s tribe had a Beast King. How could they want to get revenge?

Now, they didn’t even dare to speak too loudly, alright?

Lang Sha indeed didn’t even dare to speak loudly. He was afraid that the people outside would hear him and come to beat him up again.

He hadn’t felt anything when he was knocked out earlier, but when he woke up, he felt that the place that had been hit was very painful and hard to bear…

Yang Ying and Yang Su were also afraid to speak loudly, as they were afraid of being noticed…

However, these people thought too much.

Nobody noticed them at all.

For the people of the Big Bear Tribe, the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe were nothing but a bunch of workers. They didn’t have time to concern themselves with this group of workers.

As for Yang Ying and Yang Su… The people of the Big Bear Tribe who’d gone to the Beast God Temple were very unhappy with Shi Li’s behavior, but Shi Li was dead, and they wouldn’t go so far as to be angry with Shi Li’s family. As for Zhou Ji, he didn’t pay attention to them at all.

After eating and drinking their fill, the people of the Beast God Temple were settled in the cave that Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye lived in in the past by the people of the Big Bear Tribe.

This was something they’d taken the initiative to ask for.

They wanted to live where the Beast God lived in before, even if it meant that they all had to sleep together!

In fact, they wanted to follow Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye outside to the house that Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye had built and set up camp there so that they could be closer to Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji had issued an order and forbidden anyone from entering the courtyard of the house they lived in.

Zhou Ji didn’t want a group of fanatical believers living around his house at all.

By the time Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye went home, it was already quite late.

However, Zhou Ji didn’t go to sleep right away. Instead, he sprinkled the seeds he’d brought with him and used his plant powers.

Both moons hung in the air that night, casting down a soft glow. The plants around him swayed as they grew and bloomed, bearing fruit.

Xiong Ye stood in the yard and felt that this scene was incredibly beautiful.

All kinds of edible plants and flowers filled his and Zhou Ji’s yard in a short period of time. It made this place seem like… they liked to describe beautiful places as ‘places where the Beast God lived’. Now, this was exactly such a place.

The night was very beautiful, and Zhou Ji next to him was also very beautiful…

Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji and said, “Didn’t you want to punish me?”

The next day, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye both got up late.

However, nobody else knew. After all, nobody could enter their courtyard.

“I’m not going out today.” Zhou Ji said and gave Xiong Ye a kiss. “I’ll make you delicious food at home.”

“Alright!” Xiong Ye agreed and happily went outside––as the tribal chief, he had a lot of things to attend to.

Zhou Ji, on the other hand, began to look over the courtyard and pick out fruits and vegetables to begin cooking. He also opened up the door to the yard and asked the priests from the Beast God Temple who were guarding the entrance for some meat so that he could stew some meat for Xiong Ye.

While Zhou Ji was preparing lunch, Xiong Ye was close to the Big Bear Tribe’s living area, handing down work for the Big Bear Tribe and Beast God Temple’s people. Of course, the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe needed to work even more!

Xiong Ye planned it out one by one.

The place that was used for planting crops needed to be expanded. They’d brought back a lot plants that needed to be planted.

They also needed to build more houses. They had a lot more people and didn’t have enough houses!

Additionally, Zhou Ji had talked to him about the concept of a town and roads… he felt that there should be a wide road in the Big Bear Tribe, and they could build up some walls in the future.

With all this, they didn’t have enough people in the tribe to do all this… At this time, Xiong Ye even hoped that the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe would come and make more trouble––that way, they could catch more people to do work!

Fortunately, there was a lot of people working, and the quality of the people working in their tribe was very high. Other than that, they also had high level Beast Warriors and Beast Kings. When they did work that only required physical strength and not brain power, one of them could stand in for ten others!

However, when it came to work that needed brains, they weren’t nearly as good at it as those who had weak animal forms and needed to use their brains to survive all the time.

Digging up the earth to pave road was a good type of job and should be given to their own people. The people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe were given the job of cleaning up dinosaur excrement and mixing fertilizer.

Therefore, Lang Sha, a young chief who didn’t have to do anything in his own tribe, who had left his own tribe and had come out to train and still hadn’t done anything, now had to start picking up dung.

Sweat rolled down his face. Lang Sha wanted to wipe the sweat off his head with his hand, but then he thought about how he’d just picked up dinosaur dung with his hand not long ago…

He really couldn’t wipe his face with a hand like that and could only let it be. The sweat on his forehead rolled into his eyes, then down to his chin along with his tears. Finally, it dripped onto the ground and seeped into the soil.

The dark-skinned fatty youth was now full of sorrow.

He regretted it! He really regretted it!

He shouldn’t have caused so much trouble in his tribe back then. If he hadn’t, his father wouldn’t have driven him out!

He’d come out to train and should have focused on properly gaining experience. If he’d done it well, he wouldn’t have come to this tribe at all!

Why hadn’t he thought it through? Why had even wanted to extort the people of this tribe?

“Young chief, don’t cry.” A middle-aged person sent by Xi Shi to look after Lang Sha told him.

“Why can’t I cry?” Lang Sha asked.

“Of course you can cry, but I don’t think you need to.” That middle-aged person said.

“Why?” Lang Sha asked again.

“Do you see that great ape?” The middle-aged man gestured for Lang Sha to look at a giant ape who was working not far from them.

It was the place where Xiong Ye planned to build a road. At this moment, a giant ape was holding a piece of wood and smashing the dirt on the road.

Before, Lang Sha had been focused on his own crying and really hadn’t seen it. Now that he looked over, he couldn’t help but be surprised, “It’s so big!”

“It’s really big, right? If I’m not mistaken, that’s a Beast King.” That person said.

Lang Sha fell silent. “Beast King?! How could that be?!” His father was dedicated to becoming a Beast King, but he hadn’t succeeded even after twenty years.

Now… that person who was working just like him was a Beast King? That was impossible!

“That should be a Beast King!” The middle-aged person said. “Even a Beast King is working. So what if we have to work too?”

That seemed to make sense… Lang Sha looked at the great ape, then looked at the basket of dung that he was carrying and suddenly didn’t feel so bad anymore.
