Chapter 139 News of Shi Li
As a Beast King, the Rhinoceros Beast King was treated with respect regardless of where he went. When had he ever encountered a situation where he wasn’t taken seriously? He instantly became a little annoyed–did this young man who made food for others want a beating?
But Xiong Ye came back even before he could get angry. After hearing his conversation with Zhou Ji, Xiong Ye’s expression turned cold, “Are you trying to rob me of my meal?!” This egg fried rice was made from rice he had hulled early that morning, and the eggs were also eggs that he had gone out in the morning to gather. He wasn’t going to give a single mouthful of the egg fried rice that he’d asked Zhou Ji to make for him to anyone else!
Xiong Ye’s momentum was very shocking. The Rhinoceros Beast King who had originally wanted to put on airs froze for a moment–this was another Beast King he’d never met before!
Hai Feng’s laughter became even more delighted, “You even dare to rob Zhou Ji of his things! Are you really trying to die?!”
The Rhinoceros Beast King felt that he was about to lose any face he had when he heard Hai Feng’s words. He looked towards Xiong Ye and asked, “You’re called Zhou Ji? What tribe are you from?”
“He’s not Zhou Ji. He’s called Xiong Ye. That’s Zhou Ji.” Hai Feng pointed to Zhou Ji.
The Rhinoceros Beast King didn’t understand the situation, but he also didn’t know who to ask.
Fortunately, Zhou Ji looked at him at this moment and asked, “Are you the Rhinoceros Beast King?”
“Yes!” The Rhinoceros Beast King said. He couldn’t feel any powerful energy from this Zhou Ji. The person in front of him looked like an ordinary person, but Hai Feng’s previous words made it so that he didn’t dare to look down on this person and had instead put him on guard.
“You’re a Beast King. How could you fail to look after your own child and actually let him get chased down to be killed?” Zhou Ji asked.
“Chased and killed?” The Rhinoceros Beast King was shocked, “Wasn’t it that he ran away for fun, and you guys abducted him?”
“Why would we take him?” Zhou Ji said, “We saw that he was being hunted down and took pity on him, so we saved him.”
The expression on Zhou Ji’s face when he talked made others felt that what he was saying must be the truth.
The Rhinoceros Beast King was shocked when he heard these words, but the people of the Big Bear Tribe were also confused–people had been chasing after Xi Baobei? How come they hadn’t known?
Zhou Ji continued, “Oh, right, Hai Feng crushed the people who were chasing after him into meat patties. I don’t know if you saw that or not.” At the time, those people hadn’t seen the people of the Big Bear Tribe, but he had used his spiritual powers and ‘seen’ that they were full of malice towards Xi Baobei and wanted to kill him.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe: When had Hai Feng crushed people to death?
Hai Feng: So it turned out that the people I crushed to death were from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe. Was Zhou Ji hiding the truth for me? Zhou Ji was such a good person!
The Rhinoceros Beast King didn’t even hesitate to say, “Impossible! Those were people from our tribe who had gone out to look for him!”
Zhou Ji looked meaningfully at the Rhinoceros Beast King, “So it turned out that the people who came to kill him were from your tribe.”
The Rhinoceros Beast King’s expression changed, then changed again. He already believed Zhou Ji’s words.
His son had been brought away by the people of the Big Bear Tribe. Although he had now acknowledged a new grandfather, it was obvious that he hadn’t been treated badly. As for this Big Bear Tribe wanting to control him through his son, this was impossible–they had two Beast Kings, making it unnecessary for them to resort to those measures.
Since that was the case, the truth might be just as these people had said – that they had seen his son being hunted down and had casually saved him instead.
When he had asked the Grass Tribe for more information, he hadn’t mentioned the matter of his son. At the time, the people of the Grass Tribe had highly praised the Big Bear Tribe and said that they were good people. Now, it seemed that this was true.
As for his own tribe… His son was very easy to coax. Although he was strong, there were quite a few people in the tribe who could control him. If his people had really wanted to keep watch over him, it was impossible for them to have lost him!
So, that meant that someone in his tribe wanted to kill his son, and the Big Bear Tribe had saved him instead?
While the Rhinoceros Beast King was silent, Zhou Ji had already filled up a bowl with egg fried rice for Xiong Ye, “Eat.”
Zhou Ji had added some meat and chopped vegetables to the egg fried rice this time. It was rich in ingredients and had taken quite a bit of effort.
Xiong Ye took a bite, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment.
Even the Rhinoceros Beast King couldn’t help but feel a little greedy as he looked on–this thing smelled really fragrant!
He had been busy with traveling and hadn’t eaten for several days!
But at this time, he felt too embarrassed to ask others for food to eat.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Xi Baobei started tugging on Hai Feng’s arm, “Grandpa, I want to eat egg fried rice!”
Hai Feng immediately brought meat with him and found someone to cook for his big grandson.
The Rhinoceros Beast King who had taken a lot of effort to find his own son couldn’t help but feel a little torn in his heart when he saw his son waiting for others to serve him food–how come he felt that he was like an outsider here?
Zhou Ji spoke up again at this time, “Did the Rhinoceros Beast King come over from the Beast God Temple?”
“I was indeed in at the Beast God Temple before. When I learned that Bao.. Xi An had disappeared, I left.” The Rhinoceros Beast King replied.
It turned out that Xi Baobei was called Xi An… Zhou Ji continued to ask, “Then, Rhinoceros Beast King, did you see that Lion Beast King who only became a Beast King recently at the Beast God Temple?”
“I saw him.” The Rhinoceros Beast King replied. “You want to ask about him?”
“Yes. He might be an acquaintance.” Zhou Ji said. After coming to the Giant Pig Tribe, he had immediately inquired for news about the new Beast King as well as the Beast God Temple and the Beast God Sacrifice, and obtained quite a bit of information.
However, the people of the Giant Pig Tribe had never seen the new Beast King with their own eyes, so he couldn’t be sure that that person was Shi Li.
So now, Zhou Ji decided to ask about it.
The Rhinoceros Beast King described Shi Li’s looks, then added, “He’s a little strange and gloomy, and always looks at me with a strange gaze. He doesn’t seem normal!”
Xiong Qi, who was standing to one side, was surprised when he heard this, “Zhou Ji, could it be that the new Beast King is Shi Li? He used to look at me with a strange gaze too. It made me really angry.”
Zhou Ji also felt that that person was probably Shi Li. He didn’t know how he’d become a Beast King… Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye, wanting to see his reaction.
Xiong Ye was very surprised, too. “Did he find a Beast God Fruit? Isn’t his luck a little too good?”
“How could he end up finding a treasure like the Beast God Fruit?” Xiong Qi couldn’t help but sigh over this.
“Indeed!” Xiong Ye agreed. He wanted to get one for Zhou Ji to eat, but there was no way…
The Rhinoceros Beast King heard this and asked, “You guys know Shi Li?”
“Yes… We grew up together.” Xiong Ye said.
“There are three Beast Kings in your tribe?” The Rhinoceros Beast King sucked in a shocked breath.
“If you count that Shi Li, there should be four.” Hai Feng came over and asked Zhou Ji, “I never expected that Shi Li was also from our tribe. Our tribe is really strong!”
Hai Feng hadn’t explicitly joined the Big Bear Tribe, but now he was always saying ‘our tribe’ every time he mentioned it… Zhou Ji didn’t nitpick over this point and only said, “I don’t like Shi Li.”
Xiong Ye spoke at almost the same time, “Shi Li isn’t from our tribe.” If that person was really Shi Li, Shi Li hadn’t come back after becoming a Beast King. Could he even be considered as someone from their tribe?
“That means that there are only three Beast Kings in our tribe! Zhou Ji, don’t worry. If you don’t like that Shi Li, I’ll help you smash him next time.” Hai Feng said.
Zhou Ji nodded.
After flattering Zhou Ji for a while, Hai Feng was very happy. At this time, the Rhinoceros Beast King finally relaxed a little and looked towards Zhou Ji, “You are also a Beast King.” Hai Feng’s attitude was very flattering when he dealt with this person!
Zhou Ji nodded again.
Rhinoceros Beast King: “……”
Zhou Ji added, “It seems like the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe isn’t very good to you? Would you like to join our Big Bear Tribe?”
Things like Beast Kings… The more, the merrier.
Juurensha: So many Beast Kings in one tribe.
