Chapter 127 - Giant Rhinoceros

Ch127 – Giant Rhinoceros

The rice was already starting to cook. Only then did Zhou Ji look towards the youth.

The teenager wasn’t old, his gaze was clear, and his expression full of ignorance. He looked extremely simple.

Additionally, his skin was very pale, and he had no wounds on his hands. His hair was very clean, his teeth weren’t worn down... It could be seen from a glance that he’d been raised very well.

Zhou Ji looked like that and was therefore always seen as the young chief of a large tribe by others. In turn, he now also suspected that the youth in front of him had come from a large tribe.

The other party held no malice, and his background probably wasn’t simple. Zhou Ji naturally wouldn’t do anything to him and let him do as he liked. Yet as a result, he had just cracked the shell of an egg when the youth leaned over again, “Why do you need to break the egg shell?”

Zhou Ji: “......”

Zhou Ji hadn’t even said anything when Xiong Ye took the person away–this person was constantly leaning close to Zhou Ji, and Xiong Ye found it unpleasant to the eyes.

He and Zhou Ji hadn’t had a chance to exchange even a heated kiss ever since the time he and Zhou Ji had gotten intimate back at the Beach Tribe. These past few days, he had always felt an itch in his heart whenever he looked at Zhou Ji, wanting to hug Zhou Ji and kiss him a few times. Under such circumstances, how could he allow others to hover near Zhou Ji?

However, Xiong Ye had only just taken the youth away when Hai Feng leaned over, “Why do you need to break the egg shell?”

Zhou Ji: “......”

“Also, what exactly is that oil thing? I’ve always wanted to ask you!” Hai Feng went on. Zhou Ji had many things on hand that he’d never seen before. He’d originally felt too embarrassed to ask, but now that Zhou Ji had been so patient and answered the youth just now, he decided to ask as well.

Zhou Ji answered helplessly, “Oil is something that’s split into animal oil and vegetable oil.”

Zhou Ji had people bring out a piece of lard for him and heated it up in the pot.

The smell of oil spread out through the air, and before long, the lard had split into dregs and oil.

Hai Feng couldn’t keep himself from swallowing hard, and the youth that Xiong Ye had pulled away also ran back, saying to Zhou Ji, “I want to eat it.”

Hai Feng followed suit, “I want to eat it too!”

Zhou Ji took out the dregs, sprinkled a little salt on it, then handed it to Hai Feng, “This is for you. Take the child with you and watch over him.” The ‘child’ he was referring to was the youth.

Hai Feng agreed, then dragged the youth away with him.

Not long after, Hai Feng and the youth’s voices drifted over, “Zhou Ji gave this to me. It’s not for you.”

“I want to eat it.”

“I’ll eat two pieces and give you one piece.”

“I want to eat it.”

......

Hai Feng was very patient and was especially suited to looking after children.

While Zhou Ji was thinking about this, he noticed Xiong Ye looking at him with hidden bitterness.

Xiong Ye was really feeling quite bitter–Zhou Ji used to always give him the oil dregs and such to eat, but now he hadn’t even saved him a single piece!

Zhou Ji: “You’ll have something even tastier to eat in a bit.”

Xiong Ye grew happy again hearing this.

It took nearly an hour for the rice to finish cooking. When it was ready, Zhou Ji immediately opened up the lid of the pot and spread out the rice to let it cool with a wooden spatula.

Egg fried rice made with freshly cooked rice tended to stick together, but it would be fine as long as the rice cooled first. It was still spring, so it cooled down quite quickly.

It was already dark out, but Zhou Ji’s craving for egg fried rice hadn’t subsided at all. After the rice had cooled, he took out a shallow pan and first placed some chopped meat inside, stir-frying it slightly before adding eggs, then finally the rice...

The smell of fried rice immediately spread into the air.

Although the oil dregs were fragrant, it definitely couldn’t match up to this egg fried rice!

Xiong Ye finally understood why Zhou Ji hadn’t given him the oil dregs. There was so much tasty egg fried rice; why would he still want the oil dregs?

It was no wonder that Zhou Ji would use meat in exchange for this rice. It turned out that it was actually so tasty!

Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji began to eat happily, but the people of the Big Bear Tribe were all staring greedily at them. Even Hai Feng who had already eaten some oil dregs sidled close again.

However, Zhou Ji wasn’t as generous this time and didn’t share any with them. “You’ve all seen how egg fried rice is made. You can go and look for eggs, cook rice, and fry it up for yourself.”

He was willing to cook for himself and Xiong Ye, but everyone else should forget it. He had never been a very hardworking person.

After Zhou Ji finished eating, he no longer wanted to move.

Xiong Ye offered, “I’m going to wash the dishes... Zhou Ji, do you want to come with me?”

Zhou Ji stilled for a moment. In the past, Xiong Ye had always gone off to do things like wash dishes right away and had never asked him to come with him before... This time... Xiong Ye was asking him to go to the riverside? Zhou Ji immediately realized what was going on, “Alright”

Although he was lazy, he still very much looked forward to certain things and definitely wouldn’t find them troublesome!

He hadn’t done them before simply because he hadn’t found any opportunity to...

Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye found a river some distance away from the Grass Tribe and began to get intimate.

Grass Tribe.

The six giant crocodiles that had been brought back almost scared the people of the Grass Tribe into fainting, but they ultimately remained upright and conscious.

After determining that the crocodiles were dead, they even remembered that they needed to cut open the crocodiles’ bodies to remove the meat.

However, they couldn’t cut open the crocodiles. Their skin was too tough!

Fortunately, Zhu Zhan had gone over to help them cut up the skin. He had even started to chat with the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe, “We are from quite a long distance away and aren’t very clear on matters here. Can you tell me about what’s going on in the area?”

“Of course!” The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe didn’t hesitate to agree. He was quite short at one meter sixty while Zhu Zhan was over two meters tall... He was in awe of Zhu Zhan and was happy to talk to him.

Hai Feng had previously said that he was a Beast King, and although the people of the Grass Tribe had first been frightened, they had chosen not to believe it afterwards–Beast Kings were such noble existences; that Hai Feng absolutely couldn’t be a Beast King.

He guessed that Hai Feng must have only said that he was a Beast King because there was a problem with his brain.

However, even if he wasn’t a Beast King, he was at the very least still a medium level Beast Warrior. The person in front of him now was certainly one as well!

Based on this person’s appearance, he might even be a little more powerful than Hai Feng!

The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe answered every question Zhu Zhan asked.

Zhu Zhan learned a lot of information from him. Additionally, he knew where the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe was located... He would be able to go straight to the Giant Pig Tribe tomorrow.

With this thought in mind, Zhu Zhan led his subordinates to swiftly dismantle all the huge crocodiles.

In the meantime... Zhou Ji was eating his egg fried rice.

Zhu Zhan smelled the fragrance of egg fried rice in the air and finally understood why Zhou Ji was willing to trade for this rice... It was obviously better tasting than barley after it was processed.

The best part of it was that this could be planted and farmed. They wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry if they planted more of it in the tribe!

Although Zhu Zhan thought this way, the thoughts of the Grass Tribe had gone in a completely different direction.

They had watched as Zhou Ji heated up the lard, and now, they smelled the scent of egg fried rice, they felt that meat was truly too delicious. Putting rice and fatty meat together could make the originally tasteless rice so fragrant!

But they still much preferred to eat meat.

A ten plus meter long snake weighed one to two tons; a similar sized crocodile weighed seven or eight tons. After peeling off the skin and removing the innards, there was still at least four tons of meat remaining. That was four thousand kilograms of meat.

The people of the Grass Tribe were very excited as they looked at the meat mountain in front of them... And then, they fainted.

What made them sad was that they didn’t have enough rice to trade for that much meat.

The people of the Grass Tribe who hadn’t even eaten dinner yet took out all the rice they had and only had enough to trade for half the amount of meat piled there...

They were wallowing in their depression when Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji returned.

When Zhou Ji, who was now in a very good mood, learned of this matter, he said, “You can take all the meat.” They weren’t short on meat, and this crocodile meat wasn’t very tasty. It was completely possible to just give it all to the Grass Tribe.

The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe was really in a daze now.

He had never thought that his own tribe would actually be able to obtain so much meat... This was really an incredibly joyful matter!

The people of this Big Bear Tribe were really too wonderful!

The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe even went so far as to decide that they needed to place more importance on rice and plant more of it. Perhaps someone else in the future would come and trade meat for rice again?

That evening, the smell of roasted meat permeated the air all night. When Zhou Ji and the others left the next day, the tribal chief didn’t come to send them off.

“Our tribal chief’s stomach doesn’t feel good...” The person who had come out to send them off explained.

Zhou Ji: “......”

The first thing that Zhou Ji and the others needed to resolve when they came to the Beastman Continent was Zhu Zhan’s matters, so they picked up their pace after leaving the Grass Tribe and headed straight to the Giant Pig Tribe.

That strange youth actually followed behind them.

“What are you following us for?” Hai Feng asked. He had spent time with the youth yesterday, and some feelings of friendship had sprung up between them.

“I want to eat delicious things.”

“You can’t just follow us even if you want to eat delicious things... At your age, you need to quickly go back home.”

“Where is home?” The youth asked.

“How would I know where your home is?” Hai Feng was left speechless, “Are you a fool?”

“I’m not a fool.”

......

The two of them spoke back and forth, then Hai Feng said, “At your age, you’ll encounter danger walking around outside. You should go back!”

“I won’t. My animal form is the biggest, and I won’t run into danger.” The youth said.

“Your animal form is the biggest? Nonsense, my animal form is the biggest!” Hai Feng was provoked–even Zhou Ji’s animal form wasn’t as big as his!

The youth: “My animal form is the biggest.”

Hai Feng: “Mine is the biggest!”

“I’ll change and show you.” This youth said, then turned into a... giant rhinoceros.

Mammoths were one of the largest mammals on land, but it was only ‘one of’.

There was another that could match the mammoth in size, and it might even be bigger. That was the prehistoric giant rhinoceros.

The prehistoric beast was five meters tall at the shoulder, and weighed up to twenty tons. It was a little bigger than the mammoth who weighed up to seventeen or eighteen tons, and it sustained itself by eating the leaves off of trees. Although they weren’t powerful fighters, they were still an animal that nobody dared to provoke.

Now, this youth had turned into a giant rhinoceros. He stared hard at Hai Feng, snorting a gust of air from his nose.

Zhou Ji wasn’t surprised when he saw this scene.

He had long felt that this teenager should have an extraordinary background. Given that this was the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s territory, it really wasn’t surprising that he was a giant rhinoceros.

Only... Zhou Ji could sense a group of people approaching them through his spiritual powers.

“He’s here!” Some voices rang out. Following the shout, those people headed towards the youth who had just become a giant rhinoceros. It was obvious that they weren’t well-intentioned.

“Get him!”

“We have to kill him!”

“Move quickly!”

......

These people seemed to be trying to kill the youth... Zhou Ji was just about to order people to go and catch them, but Hai Feng unexpectedly spoke up and said, “How big do you think you are? You’re incredibly tiny! I’ll let you see what my animal form looks like!”

Hai Feng turned into his animal form directly, and a huge blue whale suddenly appeared on the spot, crushing a large area of vegetation.

Zhou Ji: “......” Alright, then. They wouldn’t need to deal with the people who had come to hunt down the teenager since they’d already been crushed to death by Hai Feng.
