Ch128 – Pushing Onwards

“I’m the biggest, right?” The huge blue whale that had crushed countless trees lay there motionless in the forest, but its voice was full of pride.

Zhou Ji found it a little difficult to continue watching this scene head on–Hai Feng, despite being a Beast King, had actually changed into his animal form just to compare sizes with a youth… How impressive.

Fortunately, his Xiong Ye wasn’t that foolish.

Zhou Ji was just thinking this when he heard Xiong Ye say, “What is that youth’s animal form? It’s so big!”

Zhou Ji: “…… I’m big, too!”

His original mammoth form wasn’t very tall, but it was definitely of a similar weight!

As they were talking, the youth changed back into his human form and picked up his animal hide, wrapping it around himself. “You are very big, you’re even bigger than my father.”

Hai Feng also changed back. “Indeed… Why is there blood on my body? Hold on, it seems like I crushed someone to death!” Hai Feng immediately looked towards the people of the Big Bear Tribe. Who had he crushed? He hadn’t wanted to kill anyone…

“It’s alright. The ones you crushed to death aren’t our people.” Zhou Ji said, “Let’s go.”

“Oh.” Hai Feng made a sound of acknowledgement, then followed Zhou Ji as they continued on their way.

Zhou Ji gave him a reminder when he saw this, “Put on your clothes.”

“Why do I have to put on clothing? It’s so troublesome? The dinosaurs don’t have to wear clothing.” Hai Feng couldn’t help complaining.

“Dinosaurs don’t talk.” Zhou Ji said.

Hai Feng had nothing to say to that.

That youth continued following behind the big group, staying by Hai Feng’s side, “You’re really big. I also want to become as big as you.”

“You want to become as big as me? Dream on.” Hai Feng said.

“Why are you so big?” The youth asked.

“I was born that big!”

“Why were you born that big?”

Hai Feng reached out and patted the youth on the head. “Why do you have so many questions? Stop talking nonsense!”

“Oh.” The youth agreed, then spoke up again after a while, “My father said that my animal form is the biggest, and I’ll also become the biggest in the future… Why did he lie to me?”

Hai Feng explained, “He didn’t necessarily lie to you. It should be that he hasn’t seen much of the world.”

The youth nodded dazedly.

When he saw this situation, Zhou Ji confirmed that the youth had a problem with his brain and was a little bit silly.

No wonder his reactions were so strange. They just didn’t know how he could have left the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe given his situation, and why he also had people chasing after him.

Was it that his family hadn’t looked after him, or was it because he had encountered a situation similar to Zhu Zhan’s?

Should they send him back?

They were now in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s territory, but it would take them two days if they wanted to reach the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, and Zhu Zhan was obviously in a hurry…

“Zhu Zhan, this person should be from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe and might even be their young chief or something… You can decide if we’ll go to the Giant Pig Tribe or the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe first.” Zhou Ji told Zhu Zhan.

Zhu Zhan said, “I need to go to the Giant Pig Tribe.” He wasn’t familiar with the people from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, and it might become troublesome if they ran over to deliver the youth without knowing what the situation really was. It was better if they went to the Giant Pig Tribe first.

“Alright.” Zhou Ji confirmed, then looked at Hai Feng, “Hai Feng, that child is your responsibility now. Look after him.”

Hai Feng immediately agreed, “Alright!”

The people of the Big Bear Tribe had recovered very well last night, and their pace was extremely swift as they pushed forward.

Pressing on non-stop was a little boring, and after walking on for a while, that youth whose animal form was a giant rhinoceros suddenly stopped following them and started to head back. He was caught by Hai Feng, “What are you doing?”

“Going that way.” The youth said.

“You can’t go that way. Follow us!”

“I don’t want to walk.” The youth said.

“I’ll carry you then.” Hai Feng picked the youth up and walked forward easily.

The giant rhinoceros youth, “I feel uncomfortable…”

But Hai Feng ignored him, so the youth could only continue to stare behind them in a daze.

While the people of the Big Bear Tribe were continuing on their way, Shi Li, who had just been granted the Beast God Temple’s approval, had just encountered the Rhinoceros Beast King.

There were a total of nine Beast Kings on the Beastman Continent, and this Rhinoceros Beast King was one of the most low-key ones amongst them. The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe that he was from was also very low-key.

Giant Rhinoceroses weren’t ferocious creatures, so although they were large, they hadn’t been respected in the past. The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe also hadn’t been considered a large tribe, and this state persisted until the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had suddenly produced a Beast King.

This Beast King had liked to eat grass from a young age and would always turn into his animal form and go to the mountains to eat grass. As a result, he had somehow gotten bigger from this habit. Later on, he had left the tribe to eat grass everywhere else and somehow become fortunate enough to eat a Beast God Fruit, directly transforming into a Beast King.

After becoming a Beast King, he was still the same as usual and liked to turn into his animal form to eat grass every now and then… Recently, many of the trees around the Beast God Temple had been gnawed on, and it was said that much of the barley that the Beast God Temple had planted had also been nibbled away.

Shi Li didn’t want to provoke this Rhinoceros Beast King, because he knew that this Rhinoceros Beast King, who looked like he didn’t have a care in the world, was extremely terrifying when he was riled up.

He also didn’t plan to make friends with this Beast King… This person would die a few years later.

In his previous life, this Rhinoceros Beast King’s little son was killed in his own territory. The Rhinoceros Beast King had been provoked, and the mouth that had previously only been used to chew on leaves had then gone and bitten many people to death…

He stirred up a fuss for a good many years before finally angering the other Beast Kings who eventually killed him off.

However, just when everyone thought that the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe would be doomed, the Beast God Temple took over the territory that had originally belonged to the Rhinoceros Beast King.

At the time, he and Xiong Ye had only just begun to cultivate.

And even later… Decades after that, the Rhinoceros Beast King’s territory had become his and Xiong Ye’s territory.

Shi Li missed this resource rich territory a little.

As for the Rhinoceros Beast King who was chomping on leaves a short distance away, he was currently looking at Shi Li in displeasure.

This new Lion Beast King had constantly been staring at him. Could it be that he had a problem with him?

He didn’t like this person’s gaze and really wanted to stomp him to death with a foot!

Forget it, killing people was a lot of trouble… These barley seedlings that had just been planted were really delicious, and he decided to eat a little more of them before the priests discovered him…

The Rhinoceros Beast King continued to eat at a sedate pace.

On the other side, Zhou Ji and the others encountered no further trouble after Hai Feng inexplicably crushed that group of people who had come to kill the youth.

They pushed on during the day, then set up camp when it became too dark to travel. They cooked, then slept, and Zhou Ji would cook rice every time they stopped to make food.

At night, he would usually pair the rice with a variety of dishes, and when they were done, he would also use rice to make a series of rice balls and save them to be eaten later the next day.

For example, his dinner that day had been sauerkraut fish and rice. The rice that had the sauerkraut fish soup poured over it really tasted better than ever before!

Additionally, he had also made some pickled vegetable and smoked meat rice balls, pickled vegetable and oil dreg rice balls, and pickled vegetable and roasted meat rice balls… After doing all that, he ran out of pickled vegetables and had to take out some pickled vegetable jars to make more pickled vegetables.

While Zhou Ji pickled vegetables, Hai Feng had already taken away the remaining sauerkraut fish soup that he hadn’t been able to finish and gone to eat dinner with his giant rhinoceros ‘child’.

“Little fellow, I don’t dislike you even though your animal form is a little small. How about you call me father?” Hai Feng, who wasn’t young anymore, was amiable and kind as he sent the youth in front of him a fatherly look.

“I already have a father.” The youth said.

“Call me grandfather then!” Hai Feng said. He had always wanted a child, but he didn’t even have a woman… He didn’t know how to talk to women and tell them he wanted to have a child…

The youth immediately called out, “Grandfather!”
