Chapter 137 – Fixing
Hearing that someone was looking for him, the Rhinoceros Beast King said, “Let him in.”
As soon as the Rhinoceros Beast King’s voice rang out, a young man who had obviously been traveling hard could be seen coming inside.
The Rhinoceros Beast King recognized this person as someone from his tribe and asked, “What are you doing here?”
This person wiped at his face and gritted his teeth. “My Lord, Xi An is gone.”
“What did you say?” The Rhinoceros Beast King stood up, nearly knocking over the table in front of him.
The Rhinoceros Beast King had three children, two of whom were already dead, leaving only the youngest child alive. This child’s name was Xi An, and his nickname was Baobei.
The Rhinoceros Beast King really treated this child as a treasure. Everyone in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe all knew the great importance he placed on this child.
If it hadn’t been for the long journey required to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice and that Xi An’s situation made him unsuited to come into contact with so many people… the Rhinoceros Beast King would’ve definitely taken him along to the Beast God Sacrifice.
Of course, even though the Rhinoceros Beast King hadn’t taken him to the Beast God Sacrifice, he had still made arrangements for everything before he left in order to ensure that his son would have a good life in the tribe while he was gone.
Yet as a result, Xi An disappeared not long after the Rhinoceros Beast King left the tribe.
At first, the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had wanted to go and search for him quietly, but they hadn’t been able to find him even after searching for a few days, and some of the people who had gone out to search had gone missing… There was nothing the tribal chief could do, so he arranged for this youth to go to the Beast God Temple and inform the Rhinoceros Beast King.
“I found many people to protect him, how could he just disappear?” The Rhinoceros Beast King slapped the table, and the table broke apart, spilling all the dishes onto the ground.
The man from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe trembled and couldn’t say anything when faced with the enraged Rhinoceros Beast King.
“Tell me! How could he disappear?” The Rhinoceros Beast glared at the man in front of him.
“Xi An left the tribe by himself and disappeared while playing with some others…” The person from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe whispered.
“Why didn’t you guys watch over him!” The Rhinoceros Beast King raged, “I’ll immediately go back to look for him!”
“My Lord…” The man was shocked, “The Beast God Sacrifice…” All the big tribes would come to the Beast God Temple to pray during the Beast God Sacrifice every year. The Beast Kings would also gather together at the Beast God Temple in order to thank the Beast God. Now, the Rhinoceros Beast King wanted to leave? Would that make the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe fall out of favor with the Beast God?
“Rhinoceros Beast King, you can have others go look for your child… The Beast God Sacrifice will start in a little over ten days.” The Ape Beast King who was to the side suggested. He had a pretty good relationship with the Rhinoceros Beast King, which was why he could offer up this advice.
“You’re not the one who lost a child, so you don’t feel any pain, is that right?” The Rhinoceros Beast King glared at the Ape Beast King.
The Ape Beast King didn’t speak any further. He really wouldn’t be so distressed if he lost a child, since he had so many of them. But it was different for the Rhinoceros Beast King…
Shi Li’s expression changed when his table was kicked over. He wished that he could jump up and fight against this Rhinoceros Beast King, but there were still problems with the crystal core in his body, so he had to hold back.
And this situation caused the Beast Kings around them to give him strange looks.
Just now, it had been the Rhinoceros Beast King who had gone crazy for no reason, so the Rhinoceros Beast King had been in the wrong, but this Lion Beast King actually didn’t get angry at him. He was too weak!
There was a big fuss taking place, so the High Priest of the Beast God Temple who had been seated at the head position spoke up, “Rhinoceros Beast King, please calm down.”
“My son is gone. How can you tell me to calm down?!” The Rhinoceros Beast King said.
“The Beast God will bless you and will protect your child…” The High Priest said. He wanted to say something else, but the Rhinoceros Beast King was already heading outside.
The Rhinoceros Beast King who was leaving quickly also dropped a cold sentence in parting, “I hope that the Beast God will protect my child. Otherwise…”
The Rhinoceros Beast King left just like that. Shi Li lowered his eyelids to hide the hatred he felt in his eyes, and he was also sneering inside––so what if the Rhinoceros Beast King left such harsh words behind? His son was already gone, and the Rhinoceros Beast King himself was going to be killed a few years later after provoking public anger.
The Beast God wouldn’t protect someone like him who didn’t respect the Beast God.
After the Rhinoceros Beast King left, everyone else scattered. However, Shi Li didn’t leave, and instead stayed behind to say to the High Priest, “High Priest, I wonder if I can go to the Beast God Temple and pray to the Beast God?”
“Of course!” The High Priest was full of smiles as he led Shi Li over. He felt that the Lion Beast King in front of him was very intelligent. He knew that he didn’t have any backing, so he started to get close to their Beast God Temple. It was because of this that the High Priest liked Shi Li a lot.
Xiong Ye and the others didn’t know what was happening at the Beast God Temple. At this time, they were still at the Giant Pig Tribe.
Getting to the Beast God Temple from the Giant Pig Tribe only took two days. They planned to wait until the Beast God Sacrifice was about to start before going to the Beast God Temple to watch the hustle and bustle. For the time being, they were planning to live in the Giant Pig Tribe.
After all, living here was quite comfortable.
After news that the Big Bear Tribe seemed to have three Beast Kings spread out, those in the Giant Pig Tribe who had originally been dissatisfied and wanted to make trouble immediately settled down.
Three Beast Kings… It was useless for them to stir up trouble. Why even try? It was better to be obedient and well-behaved.
It was even to the point where, because the Big Bear Tribe was so powerful, they were even grateful as well as obedient. “The Beast Kings of the Big Bear Tribe are really good people!”
“As I was saying, Zhu Zhan is really good. He suffered so many grievances from us, but he didn’t do anything to us.”
“The Big Bear Tribe is so amazing. I heard that they know how to make pottery by themselves! What’s more, they came out with three Beast Kings at the same time. Are there even more Beast Kings back at their own tribe?”
“This is really a powerful tribe!”
“Everyone says that the wild forest is very backwards, but I don’t think so. Maybe the people there are more powerful than we are, and perhaps they even live better than us!”
“It would be great if I could join the Big Bear Tribe!”
……
Zhu Zhan’s younger brothers and sisters who had still wanted to find people to make trouble for Zhu Zhan: “……”
In fact, a few amongst them also ‘rebelled’ and said, “We aren’t strong ourselves. Why do we have to go up against three Beast Kings? I don’t want to die!”
“I wonder how Zhu Zhan joined the Big Bear Tribe. I want to join too.”
“Father was caught, but he’s fine. In fact, I don’t think we need to go and save him…”
……
While these people spoke about this, they were also busy cleaning up the tribe.
The three Beast Kings didn’t like the smell of their tribal settlement. Not only did they need to throw out all the excrement that was lying on the ground, they also had to shovel off a layer of topsoil from the ground and discard it.
This would ensure that there would be no lingering scents that would make the Beast Kings unhappy.
They were really happy that they could do work for these Beast Kings!
In just a few short days, the Giant Pig Tribe’s attitude towards Xiong Ye and the others had already shifted from fear to worship. At the same time, Zhu Zhan had completely taken over and now controlled the Giant Pig Tribe.
He drove those restless brothers and sisters of his out of the tribe, and then selected a strong and honest brother to become the new tribal chief.
As for Zhu Yan…
One of Zhu Yan’s arms had been broken by Hai Feng. Unluckily for him, it had healed crooked.
His arm was crooked, and he’d been abandoned by the Beast God. How could Zhu Yan be the tribal chief? He definitely couldn’t.
This was something that the Giant Pig Tribe’s priest had decreed. As soon as the people of the Big Bear Tribe came, this priest of the Giant Pig Tribe had immediately switched his support to Zhu Zhan, expressing that he could help Zhu Zhan speak to the Beast God Temple and ensure that Zhu Zhan could become the Giant Pig Tribe’s tribal chief…
After saying that, he was beaten up by Zhu Zhan.
As a priest, he had been raised in privilege from a young age. He had never been beaten up in his life, so after getting beaten up to the point where he was crying for his parents, he became more honest and did whatever he was told.
However, Zhu Zhan was still a bit uneasy, so he had placed him with Hai Feng and told Hai Feng to watch over him as well.
Hai Feng put him together with Zhu Yan.
This priest was just like Zhu Yan. He tried to tempt Hai Feng into releasing him by offering better treatment or all sorts of things from the Beast God Temple, but the reality was… Whenever he mentioned the Beast God Temple, Hai Feng found him displeasing to the eye and was always filled with anger whenever he saw him. After that, Hai Feng taught the priest a lesson as well.
The priest, who had always been able to eat the best of everything in the past, now stared at the dinosaur intestines in front of him and wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was bad enough that he’d just been given a piece of intestine to eat; it wasn’t even washed!
When he had the chance to return to the Beast God Temple, he would definitely make these people aware that priests weren’t so good to provoke!
Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had no idea what the priest was thinking.
Recently, Zhou Ji had actually been quite happy––he had discovered many plants here!
Also, it was spring, the season where birds and dinosaurs were starting to lay eggs.
Zhou Ji, who hadn’t been able to eat eggs for nearly a year, had recently eaten a lot of eggs.
At noon that day, Xiong Ye was hulling rice while Zhou Ji sat to one side. His hands flew through the air as he used his spiritual powers to make rugs with Xiong Ye’s fur.
After Xiong Ye became a Beast King, his animal form had become bigger, and he now had more fur to shed from his body. With more fur, Zhou Ji could make a very, very thick rug!
At first, the priest and Zhu Yan couldn’t quite adapt to seeing this kind of situation, but now… It was alright. Wasn’t he just making food and rugs? Nobody said that Beast Kings couldn’t do such things!
No matter how much these two didn’t act like Beast Kings, they were still better than those who liked to throw stones around with little children…
Indeed, Hai Feng was playing at throwing stones with the children again.
He felt that some of the games that the children of the Giant Pig Tribe came up with were really fun.
Regardless of whether it was throwing stones or jumping, he found all of it very interesting. Of course, the most important thing was that after he won, Xi Baobei would then look at him with adoring eyes!
While Hai Feng was playing with his big grandson all day, the Rhinoceros Beast King who had practically flown back to his own tribe had already learned that the Big Bear Tribe had passed by his territory and was now chasing after them.
