Ch111 – Beach Tribe

Although Zhou Ji had become very curious about the Beastman Continent ever since they received news about a person there they suspected to be Shi Li, he still had no plans to go there himself.

Firstly, he was very lazy and didn’t want to travel that far. Secondly, he was still concerned about his own illness.

According to Zhu Zhan, crossing the river was a very dangerous matter. If something happened in the middle of the crossing, and his illness acted up… In the end, not only would the people around him be killed, he would also end up dead after exhausting himself.

Therefore, it was better for him to stay safe and sound over in the wild forest.

Perhaps when Xiong Ye grew more powerful and became a Beast King, he could go with Xiong Ye to visit the Beastman Continent and have a look around while searching for some edible plants that they could bring back and grow at home.

The list of dishes that he could create right now was still too monotonous.

Zhu Zhan and the others had stayed with the tribe for a long time and had also helped Xiong Ye become a medium level Beast Warrior. Although Zhou Ji wasn’t willing to take any risks for their sake, he didn’t mind helping them look into how to build a boat.

The simplest method was to tie a bunch of wood together with vines, but it likely wouldn’t be sturdy enough. On the other hand, they could try drilling holes in the wood and then threading wood or vines through the holes to connect everything together.

Zhou Ji had quite a few ideas. Before they set out, he made himself a set of sticks out of branches, intending to try his hand at crafting something by hand while traveling on Xiong Ye’s back.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe finished eating, then they packed everything up and prepared to depart while Zhu Zhan and his men tied up One-Eyed Wolf and her team.

One-Eyed Wolf was very dissatisfied, “Zhu Zhan, what are you trying to do?”

“I plan to go back. You’re going to go back with me.” Zhu Zhan said. Crossing the river was very dangerous, so it was best if he could find a few more people to cross together with him… Since One-Eyed Wolf had sent herself to his door, he naturally wouldn’t let her go now.

As for whether or not One-Eyed Wolf was willing… Even if she wasn’t willing now, she would be in the same boat as him once they boarded and wouldn’t be able to escape by then!

One-Eyed Wolf froze slightly when she heard Zhu Zhan’s words, but she didn’t say anything else.

“You want to go back, don’t you?” Zhu Zhan exclaimed.

“Of course I want to go back. I want to go back and tear those people’s bodies into ten thousand pieces!” One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was very cold.

“In that case, we’ll go back together.” Zhu Zhan repeated.

“Yes… Since we plan to go back together, shouldn’t you let me go?” One-Eyed Wolf asked.

“No.” Zhu Zhan refused her.

One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was ugly, “Men are all vile creatures!”

The team continued on their way as usual, and when they departed, Xiong Ye once again turned into his animal form. A chair that Zhou Ji could sit on was then tied to his body–his animal form was too large, and it was no longer easy to ride on his back, so he had simply decided to make a stool like this so that Zhou Ji could sit more comfortably on his back.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe had seen it so often that they no longer found it strange, and there were even people amongst them who wanted to carry Zhou Ji themselves, but One-Eyed Wolf and the others were a little shocked by this scene. One-Eyed Wolf couldn’t hold back and even asked Zhu Zhan, “I heard others call the person that’s riding on the bear Zhou Ji. Is this Zhou Ji a high level Beast Warrior?” Someone who could make a medium level Beast Warrior like Xiong Ye allow them to ride on his back should be a high level Beast Warrior, right?

“No.” Zhu Zhan said, “He doesn’t even have an animal form.”

“How can that be!” One-Eyed Wolf exclaimed.

“He’s the Beast God’s messenger. You need to be a little more respectful towards him.” Zhu Zhan said. He didn’t feel much friendship towards One-Eyed Wolf, but he needed her to contribute her strength if he wanted to go back, so he was a little more patient with her.

“The Beast God’s messenger? You still believe in these things?” One-Eyed Wolf laughed coldly, “I think he’s a liar!”

Zhou Ji: “……”

Zhou Ji was some distance away from One-Eyed Wolf and her people, but thanks to his spiritual powers, he could hear everything that One-Eyed Wolf and the others were saying.

He could hear everything that One-Eyed Wolf was saying behind his back very clearly.

However, he didn’t care.

He already had a basic understanding about One-Eyed Wolf.

This One-Eyed Wolf had many negative opinions about men due to being betrayed by one before. She was also angry and jealous, and found nothing pleasing to her eyes. In short, she wasn’t very likeable.

Of course, that didn’t mean that he disliked her–Zhou Ji was currently very indifferent and calm towards most things.

Zhou Ji used the wooden sticks to make two different rafts as a reference for Zhu Zhan.

“Thank you.” Zhu Zhan accepted the two wooden models. At the same time, he was training himself non-stop; he had gone out to catch a lot of prey and was also eating like crazy.

Zhou Ji knew that he was doing all this in order to strengthen himself.

However, Zhu Zhan was a medium level Beast Warrior, and it wasn’t that easy to become a high level Beast Warrior. Zhu Zhan wouldn’t be able to reach the next level without first spending several years accumulating power even if Zhou Ji gave Zhu Zhan the cultivation method he had developed for Xiong Ye.

Zhou Ji simply decided to stop worrying about it.

Their team continued on. Zhou Ji finally learned that the Beach Tribe was actually located by the sea near the mouth of the river that Zhu Zhan was so afraid of but still determined to cross.

On one hand, Zhu Zhan had decided to leave after sending them to their destination out of gratitude, but the other reason was because he planned to travel along the river after arriving at the Beach Tribe and look for a suitable place to attempt a river crossing.

The fact that Zhu Zhan and his men wanted to leave left the people of the Big Bear Tribe a little downcast. At the same time, they sensed that Zhu Zhan was very anxious, and everyone picked up the pace and traveled faster.

After two days of travel, Zhu Zhan released One-Eyed Wolf and her group and no longer kept them tied up. After being let go, One-Eyed Wolf and her people didn’t attempt to escape and instead stayed behind with them.

She was quite well behaved within the team, but had a lot of opinions towards many of the men in the tribe. She was also very disdainful of Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji felt that this was very normal.

After all, he was the person who was treated the best within the team, making it was very easy for others to envy him.

“He’s a grown man, but he doesn’t do anything other than make food, and you guys actually go so far as to indulge him.” One-Eyed Wolf mentioned it again while they were eating together that day, “If you guys act like this, you’ll definitely end up raising a white-eyed wolf.”

“I think that you’re the white-eyed wolf. You’re following our tribe and eating our food, but you actually dare to say bad things about the Beast God’s messenger!” One of the people from the Big Bear Tribe immediately spoke up when they heard One-Eyed Wolf’s words, “Your blind eye is white. You should’ve been called the White-Eyed Wolf instead.”

One-Eyed Wolf grew furious when she heard this, “What did you say?!”

“I said that you’re a white-eyed wolf!”

“Forget it, you guys are still in the dark, and I’m too lazy to concern myself with you all…” One-Eyed Wolf said, “You guys are all a bunch of fools, letting a person like this lord it over you all and act out a sham!”

One-Eyed Wolf’s hostility towards Zhou Ji was really too obvious. When they stopped to rest that day, Zhou Ji finally couldn’t help but ask, “Was your former mate very attractive?”

“How did you know?” One-Eyed Wolf asked.

“I guessed based on how much you hate me.” Zhou Ji replied.

The meaning of Zhou Ji’s words were veiled, and Xiong Ye tried to throw in his support, “Zhou Ji, it must be because you’re too attractive, making her think of her former mate whenever she sees you. That’s why she has a bone to pick with you… You’re just too good looking!”

Xiong Ye was very sincere when he said this, and Zhou Ji couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was so ugly it was difficult to look at. She looked at Xiong Ye and sneered, “Don’t be so proud of yourself. This kind of man who isn’t willing to suffer any hardships at all definitely isn’t sincere towards you.”

“No way. Zhou Ji likes me the most.” Xiong Ye replied without second thought. He firmly believed that Zhou Ji liked him a lot.

One-Eyed Wolf laughed a few times, her tone cold. “I also used to think that he liked me the most, but what was the result?” Her previous mate had been a very attractive man. It was precisely because of this that she had liked him a lot and was willing to give him her heart.

She had children with him and worked hard to take care of their home, but what happened in the end? That man got together with someone else, and not just that, he was even cold-hearted enough to drive her out.

She had been very unwilling back then, kicking up a fuss and had ended up injured as a result. Her two children had wanted to find her but were ultimately eaten by dinosaurs.

One-Eyed Wolf was now against all men; especially those who had mates.

There were several couples amongst the people of the Big Bear Tribe who were in the team. She would often go and talk to those women, advising them to be on guard against the men by their side.

These couples weren’t mated, so these women’s reactions were very different from what she expected, “Why should I be on guard against my man?”

“Keep him on a tight leash and refuse to let him be with another woman? Why? He’s not my mate!”

“It doesn’t matter if he gets together with another woman. I can also get together with other men.”

……

Forming a mated pair wasn’t done very often in the Big Bear Tribe. The women of the tribe were all very strong in their own right.

When faced with these kinds of answers, One-Eyed Wolf’s expression was very ugly to see.

When she learned that only Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had formed a mated pair, all of her attention became focused on Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji, and she then started to feel that Xiong Ye was too good for Zhou Ji.

As for Zhou Ji… what had he done for Xiong Ye?

One-Eyed Wolf’s thoughts were clear for everyone to see, but nobody concerned themselves with her. Regardless of whether it was the people from the Big Bear Tribe or Zhu Zhan and his team, they all respected Zhou Ji a lot.

They all believed that Zhou Ji was really the Beast God’s messenger.

One-Eyed Wolf became even more depressed when she saw this situation.

And at this time, they finally drew close to the Beach Tribe.

As they neared the sea, the climate grew warmer, allowing Zhou Ji to find more types of vegetables.

He collected various seeds and at the same time, began to crave seafood.

There were many different kinds of seafood. When they arrived at the Beach Tribe, he would definitely be able to eat many types of different things, and it was likely that he would be able to try a lot of things he had previously never eaten before.

As for how to obtain seafood… He could trade with the Beach Tribe or have Xiong Qi go and catch some, right?

Polar bears were very good at catching fish in the sea!

“Who are you guys?” While Zhou Ji was thinking about seafood, several people who smelled a little fishy came up to block their way.

“It’s me, it’s me. Do you guys still recognize me?” From the back of the team, one of the people from the Green Hill Tribe who had traded for salt a few times before stepped up to the front.

“Green Hill Tribe? Are you here to trade for salt?” These people’s expressions relaxed.

“We’re here to trade for salt, but we’re no longer from the Green Hill Tribe. The people of our tribe have joined the Big Bear Tribe!” That person from the Green Hill Tribe explained.

The people of the Beach Tribe weren’t concerned about this point, “We’ll take you to our tribe… Our tribal chief missed you all very much.”

Juurensha: Oh boy, One-Eyed Wolf is not having a great time

xiin: sounds ominous.
