Chapter 153 - Setting A Trap



Ch153 – Setting A Trap

“Xiong Ye and his mate are inseparable, but they finally split up today.”

“Let’s get this over with quickly.”

“We must snatch him away as soon as possible!”

“Wait for us to slowly go around…”

……

Zhou Ji was a little surprised when he heard the comments of the people who were coming over through his spiritual powers.

These people were here to catch him.

He knew that the Beast God Temple would be scheming continuously, but the Beast God Temple… had no reason to go for him.

They wanted to win over Xiong Ye. If they snatched him away, not only would they be unable to win Xiong Ye over, but wouldn’t they also offend Xiong Ye?

Or perhaps the people who were coming over weren’t from the Beast God Temple?

But if they weren’t from the Beast God Temple, there shouldn’t be so many powerhouses… There were a total of ten high level Beast Warrior amongst these people.

These people were now hiding in a house off in the distance, assigning tasks to decide who would attack Zhu Zhan and who would deal with Zhu Yan among other things.

Zhou Ji stood up from the recliner and thought about whether he should take his people with him and leave.

He didn’t want to be involved in trouble.

But that was when he suddenly heard one of these people ask, “Why exactly do we have to catch that Zhou Ji?”

“I don’t know either. It should have something to do with the Lion Beast King.” The original speaker said.

Zhou Ji instantly abandoned all thoughts of leaving––in fact, it wasn’t a big deal for him to get caught.

With his current strength, he would be able to escape at any time, and he didn’t need to fear Shi Li.

The only thing he needed to be careful about was to make sure he didn’t suddenly go crazy.

But for this matter… Zhou Ji wasn’t too worried about it.

With his current spiritual strength, he could control even Beast Kings. He didn’t need to personally make a move at all.

Zhou Ji sat back again, wanting to see who it was that wanted to catch him.

However, if Zhu Zhan and the others stayed behind, they would likely encounter trouble… Zhou Ji said to Zhu Zhan, “Zhu Zhan, take some people to go and call Xiong Ye back.”

“Alright.” Zhu Zhan stood up and prepared to go.

Zhou Ji said, “I told you to take people with you.”

Zhu Zhan was a little confused, but after Zhou Ji gestured, he soon left, bringing all of his subordinates with him––Zhou Ji… might be up to something?

As a result, the place where the Big Bear Tribe had settled in was left with only Zhou Ji as well as Zhu Yan and the priest of the Giant Pig Tribe.

Zhou Ji had never spoken with these two people over the recent days, but at this time, he suddenly looked towards the two people, “I didn’t think that you would have such a good impression of the Big Bear Tribe. I’m very pleased.”

.

The priest of the Giant Pig Tribe was a man named Ma Shan, and his animal form was a horse. When he heard Zhou Ji’s words, he and Zhu Yan were both full of confusion.

Although they didn’t dare to betray the Big Bear Tribe and cause trouble, they were previously still hoping that the people of the Beast God Temple would still come and make trouble for the Big Bear Tribe––even if the Big Bear Tribe didn’t suffer badly, they could still watch the show!

But it turned out… not only did they have no show to watch, the Big Bear Tribe even knew what they’d done!

Zhu Yan and Ma Shan’s first reaction was to be glad that they hadn’t betrayed the Big Bear Tribe. Otherwise… they would definitely be killed off by the people of the Big Bear Tribe.

Ma Shan said, “Your Lordship, we genuinely like the Big Bear Tribe.”

“Yes, we are absolutely loyal to the Big Bear Tribe!” Zhu Yan also spoke out words that went against his own thoughts.

“You guys aren’t even people of the Big Bear Tribe. What loyalty are you talking about?” Zhou Ji asked.

Ma Shan and Zhu Yan were given a scare.

Zhou Ji continued, “Someone will come soon. You don’t have to resist, but you should know what to say and what not to say.”

“We know!” Ma Shan and Zhu Yan both agreed at once. They were also a little curious––people were coming? What people?

Ma Shan and Zhu Yan waited for a long time, but nobody came. They only saw Zhou Ji there eating by himself.

Zhou Ji hadn’t eaten much previously and had left most of everything for Xiong Ye to eat. At the time, they all thought that Zhou Ji, despite being a Beast King, simply had a small appetite. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ji ate an entire pot of soybean stewed meat, a whole pot of rice, and some cold dishes all in one go.

He also ate very quickly!

He was really worthy of being a Beast King. Not only did he eat quickly, it didn’t affect his temperament a single bit!

While the two of them were watching Zhou Ji with admiration, people rushed over.

These people were very surprised when they saw that there were only three people in the room. After that, they charged at Zhu Yan and Ma Shan––Zhu Yan was a high level Beast Warrior, and Ma Shan the priest was still a junior level Beast Warrior, making them potential threats.

Yet as a result, they hadn’t even started fighting when Zhu Yan and Ma Shan spread open their hands and made gestures to show that they’d offer no resistance, “Don’t hit us!”

These people stopped––between Zhu Yan and Ma Shan, one was a tribal chief and the other was a priest. They had been humiliated by the Big Bear Tribe in recent days and had been made to do many things. It was normal for them not to want to protect Zhou Ji.

But if that was the case, they wouldn’t need to attack.

After all, this was Zhou Ji, a waste of a man who couldn’t even change into an animal form.

These high level Beast Warriors had been well prepared when they came here, and now, they were left a little uncertain when faced with such a situation.

However, being able to save some effort was great!

“Tie them up and take them away!” The leader looked at Zhou Ji, who appeared to be scared silly, and then at Zhu Yan and Ma Shan, before giving orders to his men.

His men immediately untied the rope wrapped around their waist and used it to tie them up. However, before they could begin, Zhou Ji spoke up, “Hold on.”

“What?” That man frowned.

“My body isn’t in a good state. I might lose my life if you tie me up like this. Even if I’m fine, if I end up harmed, Xiong Ye won’t let you off.” Zhou Ji said. If these people really wanted to tie him up, he might as well leave directly.

“So what?” That high level Beast Warrior looked impatiently at Zhou Ji. He was here to catch people, but when he thought about how Xiong Ye was a Beast King… He didn’t actually want to offend the Big Bear Tribe.

Zhou Ji said, “You can carry me.”

“You’re expecting too much!” These people said.

Zhou Ji continued, “If you want to catch me, it should be because you want Xiong Ye to do something. If I’m alright, Xiong Ye will definitely agree. But if I’m harmed, even if you manage to make him do what you want him to do, in the end, he still won’t let you go.”

These people believed Zhou Ji’s words. Although the people of the Big Bear Tribe had only arrived at the Beast God Temple three to four days ago, there was nobody who didn’t know of the Bear Beast King’s love for his mate.

Their leader thought for a moment then finally looked at Zhu Yan and Ma Shan. “You two carry him. Come with us!”

Zhu Yan and Ma Shan soon lifted Zhou Ji off the ground and followed the men to leave.

By this time, Zhu Zhan had already found Xiong Ye.

Xiong Ye hadn’t reached twenty years old and hadn’t seen much of the world. He was very interested in this Beast God Sacrifice.

.

At first, he had planned to come and watch with Zhou Ji, but later… the Beast God Temple had informed him that they had prepared a seat for him that was closer to the Beast God Sacrifice. They had also learned from those who had participated in the Beast God Sacrifice before that they wouldn’t be able to see what the Beast God Sacrifice was like at all if they were too far away.

And then, Zhou Ji wasn’t willing to go watch and had told him to go attend on his own so that he could sit up front and watch.

He could clearly sense the atmosphere better when he sat up front. It made people want to worship the mighty Beast God, but Xiong Ye still felt a little listless because Zhou Ji wasn’t there.

However, it was normal for Zhou Ji to not want to come.

Other than the Beast Kings, everyone else had to kneel down to the priests of the Beast God Temple… he really couldn’t bear for Zhou Ji to have to do this!

Zhou Ji was the Beast God’s messenger and must be more worthy of respect than these priests. How could he kneel?

The priests of the Beast God Temple sang and danced, chanted many prayers, and led them all in prayer to the Beast God.

The group praying ceremony was conducted under the leadership of the High Priest and ended very soon, but other, smaller prayers were still in progress. there were also people from the from the Beast God Temple handing out divine water.

Xiong Ye was watching very seriously.

He’d once been trained as the priest’s successor for a period of time, and he had learned all the priest’s dances. He could see that the words and dances their own priest performed were simplified versions of the words and dances from the Beast God Temple.

Their priest who had come to the Big Bear Tribe and helped them back then should have started out as a priest of the Beast God Temple.

Xiong Ye almost subconsciously began to learn and memorize, intending to learn a little more so he could teach the priest when they went back.

The priest should be very happy, but Xiong He would probably be unhappy––with that, he would have more to learn.

While Xiong Ye was watching this ‘performance’, the people of the Beast God Temple had called away all of the other eight Beast Kings.

There should have been nine, but the Elephant Beast King had never shown up even after the ceremony had begun…

Ever since he’d seen Zhou Ji’s animal form, Xiong Ye was almost certain that the Elephant Beast King who had taken Shi Li away had been Zhou Ji’s father.

For this reason, he paid special attention to the Elephant Tribe when he noticed that the Elephant Beast King hadn’t come. He saw that the powerhouses of the Elephant Tribe who were near him all had worried expressions on their faces, and some of them looked at Shi Li with unfriendly gazes. They probably knew each other from before.

At this time, Shi Li had been led to the Beast God Temple, which was made of square-cut stones, by the people of the Beast God Temple. The people of the Elephant Tribe became even more absent-minded, and they began to whisper amongst themselves.

Xiong Ye glanced at them, then moved on to look at other things and noticed a very tall Zhu Zhan waving at him from his position within the crowd.

Hadn’t Zhu Zhan remained in the market to accompany Zhou Ji? How come he’d come here all of a sudden?

Xiong Ye jumped off the high platform and headed towards Zhu Zhan.

And at this time, in the Beast God Temple, Shi Li was telling those Beast Kings, “The Big Bear Tribe controls a cultivation method. If you follow that method, there’s no need to eat a Beast God Fruit in order to become a Beast King.”

“That can’t be!” The Ape Beast King exclaimed.

The Rhinoceros Beast King also spoke up, “How could such a good thing exist? Don’t talk nonsense!” The Rhinoceros Beast King didn’t hesitate to scold him, but internally, he was also shocked.

This Lion Beast King was stating it so boldly, but the Big Bear Tribe really did have too many Beast Kings. Could it really be true?

However, even if it was true, he would help the Big Bear Tribe deny it.

“It’s true. Otherwise, how did you think I became a Beast King? And how could Xiong Ye become a Beast King?” Shi Li asked them, “Eating a Beast God Fruit can really allow someone to become a Beast King, but if they aren’t at the level of a high level Beast Warrior, they would do nothing but die even if they ate a Beast God Fruit… How old are Xiong Ye and I? Could you guys have become high level Beast Warriors at our age?”

The Beast Kings heard this and started thinking about it. Only the Rhinoceros Beast King continued to insist, “Geniuses do exist in this world.”

“Rhinoceros Beast King, I heard that you’ve joined the Big Bear Tribe? Was it for the sake of that skill?” Shi Li asked. He knew that Xiong Ye didn’t actually have a cultivation method, and that Xiong Ye becoming a Beast King was completely related to his hard work.

It was very easy for people with low strength to die if they ate a Beast God Fruit, but if they could persist, they might also be able to survive.

As it happened, Xiong Ye was a very persistent person who was able to bear a lot.

However, he intended to accuse Xiong Ye of possessing a cultivation method. After all, this was the only way he could persuade these Beast Kings to attack Xiong Ye.

“Shi Li, according to your words, you also know the cultivation method. Since that’s the case, if I wanted to learn this cultivation method, why would I have to join the Big Bear Tribe? Can’t I just force you to give it to me?” The Rhinoceros Beast King countered.

The other Beast Kings had also thought of this, and they all looked over at Shi Li, “Lion Beast King, if you know of such a method, why would you hide it from us?”

“Lion Beast King, show us and let us experience it ourselves.”

“Lion Beast King, be generous…”

……

Shi Li could feel that these people weren’t very friendly towards him just from their expressions. He immediately said, “Everyone, the method I obtained is problematic.”

“What are you saying?” The Ape Beast King asked.

“The cultivation method the Big Bear Tribe has can only be used by the tribal chief, and won’t be taught to others. I only know a little because Xiong Ye used to like me.” Shi Li explained.

Had there really been an issue like this? The Beast Kings looked at Shi Li in surprise and their expressions difficult to describe––this Lion Beast King had actually had that kind of emotional dispute with the Bear Beast King?

Shi Li continued, “Unfortunately, the cultivation method I know is problematic. So, even though I have made some progress, there are some problems with my strength… I wasn’t willing to fight against Xiong Ye before because of these problems.”

“This is just your one-sided story!” Inside, the Rhinoceros Beast King still believed a bit of this story. Xiong Ye and Shi Li’s matters had been mentioned by the people of the Big Bear Tribe in recent days. At the time, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had thought that there was something wrong with Shi Li. Fortunately, Xiong Ye had split up with Shi Li and ended up choosing Zhou Ji.

However, although he believed it, he was still on Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji’s side.

Hai Feng liked his son very much. If there was such a cultivation method, he should be willing to teach his son it, right? In that case, he wouldn’t have to worry about his son’s life in the future at all!

On the other hand, if he went against the Big Bear Tribe… His son was currently with the Big Bear Tribe!

“I have proof.” Shi Li said, “I can cultivate for you to see.”

Shi Li began to use the cultivation method as he spoke.

Beast Kings were very sensitive to the changes in the energy around them. They could clearly sense that Shi Li was absorbing energy from their surroundings.
