Ch102 – Food

Xiong Ye and the others who had come were all people who had hunted down and killed people of the Giant Tiger Tribe, so they had all killed people before, but they still found it a little difficult to accept the scene that they currently saw before them.
They didn’t even know what they should say, and they all remained silent for a while.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe had used cruel means, so the Big Bear Tribe had no thoughts of being merciful when they went up against them, but that was only when they were fighting the warriors of the Giant Tiger Tribe.
There were still elderly and children in the Giant Tiger Tribe.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe would kill the elderly and children of other tribes, but the people of the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t actually done anything to the elderly and children of the Giant Tiger Tribe.
However, these people were all dead now.
And the person who had done it had been so cruel…
Even Zhu Zhan was shocked after he took in the situation, “There was no fighting here. It was a complete massacre. Even if it was a Beast King who did this, they would be stripped of their Beast King title for doing this…”
On the Beastmen Continent, although the people from the Beast God Temple often did bad things, they would still involve themselves if there was a tribe that was wantonly taking over other tribes the way the Giant Tiger Tribe had been doing and make them stop. They would do the same for beastmen who slaughtered other ordinary beastmen.
Before, Zhu Zhan had wanted to get to know this Beast King. Now, however… Regardless of whether or not that person was Xiang Tian, he no longer wanted to get to know them. In fact, he didn’t dare to get to know them.
Based on the other party’s methods, there was a high possibility that they would be killed as soon as they encountered them.
Zhu Zhan found this a little difficult to accept, and Xiong Qi and the others also felt the same way.
Before, that person had killed arthropleura and other similar things. Although it was cruel, they hadn’t thought much about it. However, what was dead in front of them now were beastmen, their own kind.
Xiong Qi, who had said many worshipful words along the way, was now completely speechless.
The same was true for Xiong Ye.
He had lived for so long but had never seen such a scene. At this time, he even felt a burst of fear erupt from his heart and instantly fill his entire body.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe were really unlikable and repugnant, but it was a bit over the top to kill the elderly and children as well.
He suddenly remembered the scene he had seen before.
Back then, that giant beast had looked like it was in a frenzy.
He wasn’t fighting against any enemies and had only been battling against the trees and slaughtering on his own. His appearance back then had been like someone who had no awareness of his surroundings.
Xiong Ye had come into contact with that person before, and knew that that person wasn’t bad. His temper was pretty good, but he would lose control… Back then, that person had lost control near the Big Bear Tribe. If he had been a little more careless, perhaps what had happened to the Giant Tiger Tribe would’ve happened to the Big Bear Tribe.
When he thought of this, the hair on the back of Xiong Ye’s neck stood on end, and he started to sweat.
“Let’s leave.” Zhu Zhan said. He felt that escape was the most important thing to do right now.
“That person’s already gone.” Xiong Ye said. There had been a lot of movement here before they arrived, but there was no disturbance now… That man had already left.
Zhu Zhan heard Xiong Ye say this and also noticed something, “He either turned back into his human form, or he’s already left. Even so, it’s better if we don’t stay here.”
“I want to go take a look.” Xiong Ye said.
“Are you not afraid of running into him?” Zhu Zhan asked.
“I don’t think it’s a problem.” Xiong Ye said. He had interacted with that person before, and that person wouldn’t kill anyone when he was fully conscious. However, when something happened to him… Regardless of whether it was a person, a dinosaur, or even a tree, it would all be destroyed.
Zhu Zhan gritted his teeth and finally said, “Then we’ll go and take a look.” That person was a Beast King. If he was still here and wanted to kill people, they wouldn’t even have enough time to run…
By the time Xiong Ye and the others arrived at the scene, Zhou Ji had already regained consciousness and was busy throwing up.
The scenes around him were really disgusting.
He didn’t like killing people at all, and he didn’t like destroying the environment.
He had lived through the apocalypse before where everything was polluted, without a trace of clean air or healthy plants. It was precisely because of this that he really loved everything in this world and didn’t want to destroy anything at all.
But if they had to talk about regret… He had no regrets.
Back when Xiong Ye had been injured, he had been a little agitated and had barely been able to hold back his desire for slaughter. He had reluctantly calmed himself down and used his spiritual powers to force out the poison from Xiong Ye’s body, but after that, he had been unable to hold on any further. He urgently needed to vent and felt even more disgust towards the Giant Tiger Tribe.
Even so, he hadn’t necessarily had to look for the Giant Tiger Tribe and could’ve vented his emotions elsewhere.
However, he had still come here.
He hadn’t wanted the Giant Tiger Tribe to survive.
The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe hated Xiong Ye, and most of them would want to seek revenge. It was better if they left no loose ends around.
Only… He had killed people in such a disgusting way.
He himself was very disgusting.
Zhou Ji took a deep breath, then pulled himself out of the bloody scene.
His spiritual powers, energy, and physical energy had all been exhausted. He had no strength left in his body, and even a small egg-stealing dinosaur would be able to take his life.
Fortunately, people would generally not come close to this kind of place.
No, it’s not that nobody would come near… There was such a huge disturbance here that the people of the Big Bear Tribe were probably afraid to come any closer.
But soon… It was possible that he would fall unconscious for a long time…
Zhou Ji’s expression changed.
His brain hadn’t been working properly when he had gone crazy earlier, but now that he was aware, he had discovered a problem.
If he bumped into Xiong Ye and the others right now…
He could ignore the chance that the matter of him killing people could no longer be hidden, and it wasn’t a big deal if his weakness was exposed, but if someone plotted against him and made it so that he fell into a frenzy within the Big Bear Tribe… The entire Big Bear Tribe would be done for.
Right as Zhou Ji was lost about what to do, he suddenly noticed a Torosaurus that was larger than usual and felt that something about it was pulling at him.
Zhou Ji walked over and removed a yellow crystal core from the Torosaurus that had been smashed until it had lost its horns.
Xiong Ye and the others were looking through the ‘battleground’.
The brutal ‘battleground’ that they had encountered right at the start was just the beginning of this one-sided massacre.
As they went on, there was still a stretch of chaos.
Everyone walked forward carefully, and then they saw a huge footprint on the ground. Seeing this footprint, Zhu Zhan sucked in a deep breath, “This is a Beast King… If I were to be a Beast King…”
Xiong Ye didn’t speak and instead observed everything around him seriously.
It was particularly quiet. There was nothing there, and all of the dinosaurs had all either been massacred or run off.
That man wasn’t here, either. They couldn’t tell where he’d gone.
It had already been afternoon by the time they arrived at this place. After taking a look around, the sun had begun to slowly sink down in the west.
“Mutated dinosaur!” Zhu Zhan’s voice suddenly rang out, and everyone abruptly noticed that there was a big Torosaurus in front of them.
“This is a mutated dinosaur? What is a mutated dinosaur?” Xiong Ye asked.
“Mutated dinosaurs are larger than ordinary dinosaurs, and they are stronger than normal. The reason why Beast Kings are respected on the Beastman Continent is because some dinosaurs can only be dealt with by Beast Kings. There was once a mutated Tyrannosaurus Rex that was particularly powerful. Finally, a good many Beast Kings had to cooperate together in order to bring it down.” Zhu Zhan explained, “All mutated dinosaurs have crystal cores inside their bodies. Beastmen can absorb the energy inside the crystal cores in order to become stronger… However, this dinosaur’s crystal core is already gone.”
There was no doubt that this dinosaur’s crystal core had been dug out by that Beast King.
Based on this dinosaur’s size, its crystal core was either of the low or medium level, which was of little use to a Beast King, but very beneficial for younger generations in a Beast King’s tribe…
“I hadn’t thought this kind of thing could exist.” Xiong Ye felt that he was cut off from the world and had very limited knowledge. The things that they knew were really insignificant when compared to the people on the Beastman Continent.
“Although the crystal core is gone, this dinosaur’s meat is still very beneficial for everyone. Let’s eat the meat.” Zhu Zhan suggested.
He had always wanted to become stronger. He hadn’t had the chance before, but now that he was given this ‘opportunity’… he should take advantage of it and eat!
The sky had already turned dark. Xiong Ye and the others soon took out some flint and used force to light a fire before starting to roast the meat.
Zhu Zhan said, “That elephant Beast King should have already have left, but I don’t know why he killed so many people.”
“Maybe he didn’t want to kill them.” Xiong Ye said.
“How could he have killed so many people if he didn’t want to kill anyone?” Zhu Zhan asked.
Xiong Ye didn’t say anything else, and the others who had come with them had already been given a scare by this time. Xiong Qi said, “That lord is too strong and too…” He was trembling all over and didn’t dare continue.
The others’ expressions were also full of fear, and they didn’t dare say more.
They were extremely afraid, to the point where they didn’t even dare hold a discussion about it.
“Before, when it happened near our tribe, I already felt… But this time…” Niu Er’s voice was low.
Xiong Ye understood what he was trying to say.
When the area surrounding their tribe had been ravaged by that elephant Beast King, many people had been afraid. Now… well, even he was a little scared.
Everyone, especially Xiong Ye, ate a lot of Torosaurus meat.
He had lost too much blood when he forced out the poisonous blood before, and now needed to eat more to replenish himself.
After they ate, they left the ‘battleground’ and found a place to rest for the night.
After they left, Zhou Ji climbed out from under a dinosaur nearby that had already been trampled into a dinosaur pancake. He felt rather helpless.
He was now… the Demon King of slaughter himself.
This was really very scary. He didn’t know how to solve his own psychological problems and could only wait for it to slowly heal by itself–for him, this place was very peaceful, and he had already improved a little from the time he had initially arrived in this world just from watching everyone around him do their best to just live and carry on. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold back for a while after a problem arose and regain his mind again so soon after going into a frenzy.
Unfortunately, he would still lose his mind completely during that period and couldn’t remember what he had done at the time.
The mutated dinosaur’s crystal core wasn’t enough to allow Zhou Ji to restore himself completely, but it was enough to get him out of here and find a place to rest.
All the potential dangers here had already been dealt with by him while he was in a frenzy, and Xiong Ye shouldn’t be in trouble now… Zhou Ji went straight to sleep.
Xiong Ye was indeed alright. After resting for a night, they sent someone back to the Green Hill Tribe to ask for some people to bring salt and join them.
These people all arrived that afternoon.
Some people threw up when they saw the scene here, but they were laughing as they vomited, “Haha, these people are dead! They deserved to die!”
“This must be their punishment from the Beast God!”
“Thank the Beast God!”
……
These people had been enslaved by the Giant Tiger Tribe before and were now all ecstatic, crying and laughing at the same time.
Xiong Ye was in a much calmer mood after seeing them like this.
Although that person’s methods were cruel and had perhaps been involuntary, he couldn’t be considered as having done anything wrong.
If the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe were allowed to leave, it was likely that they would want to harm other tribes. Now that they were dead, nobody would have to worry about them anymore.
He wondered where that man was now.
Zhou Ji was now… In a tree hollow.
The blood on his body had attracted some bugs that had left several bites, but he really didn’t have the strength to drive away the bugs.
The last time something like this had happened, Xiong Ye had taken really good care of him. This time…
He wanted to find Xiong Ye, but if he really went, Xiong Ye would probably be given a scare.
Xiong Ye was clueless about Zhou Ji’s current thoughts. At this moment, he actually felt that it was quite fortunate that Zhou Ji wasn’t here.
If Zhou Ji were here, he would definitely be scared by the bloody scenes here.
Zhou Ji didn’t even dare kill fish!
With this thought in mind, Xiong Ye told people to gather the bodies of the people from the Giant Tiger Tribe together and burn them, then had them collect the dinosaur corpses and wash them clean. They ate some of them and cured the rest.
Before, over three hundred slaves had been left behind when they drove away the Giant Tiger Tribe. Some of these slaves were from the Green Hill Tribe, but others were from other tribes that the Giant Tiger Tribe had taken over before and were all young adults.
The Big Bear Tribe was short on people, but Xiong Ye was now worried about having enough food for winter.
If these people followed him back to the Big Bear Tribe… The Big Bear Tribe might not be able to feed them all.
Now, however, they didn’t need to worry about this.
There was no lack of salt in the Green Hill Tribe. After they cured all of these dinosaurs with salt and took them back with them… These three hundred people were basically bringing their own food with them to join the Big Bear Tribe.
