Kumano was anxious, so he worked quickly to make the raft. Soon, the raft was ready.
He pushed the raft into the sea and planned to go out to sea to look for someone.
Xiong Qi and others said, "Chief, I'll go too."
"I'll go with you."
"And me."
Kumano refused all of them: "No, you stay."
"I'll go with you." Zhu Zhan said. It's very dangerous to go out to sea. If they really encounter danger, those junior beast warriors will be useless... But if he goes with them, maybe he can help Kumano.
"Thank you." Kumano also knew this, so he thanked him immediately, and then came to the side of the one-eyed wolf and removed the joints of the one-eyed wolf's hands and feet without hesitation - he and Zhuzhan were both leaving, and by then this man's strength would be the strongest, and he had to guard against this man doing bad things.
The one-eyed wolf had her joints dislocated and started cursing. Seeing this, Kumano had her mouth blocked and she was tied up.
One-eyed wolf: “…”
Kumano and Zhuzhan got on the raft together and took the oars to paddle.
None of them had rowed a boat before, so they were not very skilled at it. At first, the raft could only spin in place. But after Kumano tried a few more times, he found a way and was able to control the raft to move forward.
The waves hit and there was water on the raft, but at least it could float on the water... Kumano and Zhuzhan took one side each and paddled hard.
During this time, Xiong Ye had been silent. Zhu Zhan was a little unaccustomed to such silence: "Xiong Ye, don't worry. Since the sea god from the beach tribe didn't come back, it means Zhou Ji won."
"Yeah." Xiong Ye responded. He was afraid that Zhu Zhan didn't like Zhou Ji, so he added: "Zhou Ji didn't help you, there must be a reason... I think there is something wrong with him after he turned into a beast. Maybe such a powerful force is not something he can control."
After what Kumano said, Zhuzhan also felt that it made sense.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the fact that the Giant Tiger Tribe was completely wiped out not long ago…
At that time, Zhou Ji could have secretly killed all the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe. If he had done so, they would probably not have been able to discover the incident at all. But what would have been the result? Zhou Ji caused such a big fuss at that time that not only did he destroy the Giant Tiger Tribe, he also killed many dinosaurs and destroyed a forest.
It’s okay for Zhou Ji to kill dinosaurs, but why destroy the forest? There's something clearly wrong. And the methods he used at that time were too cruel and crazy...
"I know, there must be a reason for him to do this." Zhu Zhan said, "Don't worry about what One-Eyed Wolf said. He insisted on coming with us to exchange salt this time. He also followed us secretly when we attacked the Giant Tiger Tribe before... He must care about you."
Xiong Ye nodded and suddenly asked, "After becoming a partner, can we really regret it?"
Zhu Zhan said: "I don't know about this. Anyway, in the Orc Continent, once you become a couple, you can't separate."
Xiong Ye said: "I understand."
Zhu Zhan saw that his expression was a little strange, and suddenly remembered that Kumano didn’t even know how men behaved with each other. Was there really something wrong between him and Zhou Ji?
But he can't even solve his own problems now, so how can he have the time to worry about other people's affairs?
Even now, when he accompanied Xiong Ye out to look for someone, he had other thoughts... Zhou Ji was so powerful, he wanted Zhou Ji to take him across the river.
He needed Zhou Ji's help, so even if he had some objections, he would not offend Kumano or Zhou Ji like the One-Eyed Wolf did.
The raft quickly left the beach, but the sea before them was so vast that they had no idea where to find anyone.
Zhu Zhan was just getting worried when Xiong Ye, who was already standing on the raft, started shouting, "Zhou Ji! Zhou Ji!"
The voice traveled far away, but received no response.
After shouting for a while, Kumano's voice became hoarse.
"Let's row forward a little bit, and then you shout again." Zhu Zhan said. The sea was very calm, and there was no trace of the previous battle... Will Zhou Ji be in trouble?
He hoped that Zhou Ji would be okay. If Zhou Ji was okay, maybe he could help him cross the river. But if something happened to Zhou Ji... he would have to fight on his own.
Kumano stopped shouting and rowed forward with Zhuzhan. After rowing for a while, he started shouting again.
But they still received no response.
The day gradually brightened, but they still found nothing.
Kumano was calm at first, but gradually he became anxious.
Zhou Ji is very powerful, but the person who came to trouble Zhou Ji last night is also very powerful, and the beast form of that person is so big...
"Shall we go back first?" Zhu Zhan suggested.
Kumano didn't want to go back. He always felt that if he searched for a while longer, he would be able to find Zhou Ji. However, as the sun rose, there was clearly nothing on the blue sea illuminated by the sunlight.
Moreover, they were already very far from the coast. If they went any further, they might not be able to see the coast anymore. If they got lost in the vast ocean...
"Maybe Zhou Ji has already gone back. He is so powerful." Zhu Zhan said.
"Let's go back." Kumano finally made the decision.
They rowed back together and finally saw the coastline. It was at this time that they saw thick smoke rising from the beach on the distant shore.
When Kumano and Zhuzhan went out to sea to look for people, Zhou Ji had recovered a little.
Now that he has recovered, he certainly can't continue to drift on the sea.
He went to the sea to fight with the whale. Kumano must be very worried, so he wanted to go back as soon as possible to tell Kumano not to worry.
Zhou Ji thought so and looked towards Haifeng: "Which side is the shore?"
Zhou Ji was on the sea and couldn't tell the directions. When he extended his mental power, everything around him was the same... He didn't even know which side was the shore.
But he didn't know, but Haifeng, who had always lived in the sea, knew. He was tied up and couldn't move, so he turned his head and looked in a certain direction: "That's the beach over there."
After he pointed out the direction, he saw Zhou Ji, who had been wrapped in seaweed at some point, stood up and started running on the sea.
The energy gathered around Zhou Ji's body, allowing Zhou Ji to move forward quickly and also preventing him from sinking into the water.
So it can be done this way? Haifeng was a little surprised to see Zhou Ji's actions. Just as he was thinking about how to use the energy, he was pulled away.
Before, Zhou Ji had wrapped him tightly with kelp, but now he was running while holding a piece of kelp connected to him.
The feeling of being led by someone is really bad, but I have no ability to resist at all. I can only try my best to adapt to it all and save my life.
The sea breeze closed its eyes and let itself "glide" quickly on the sea. It always felt that the wound on its head was made bigger by the sea water and it was getting more and more painful.
Zhou Ji had recovered a lot. Not long after, he came to the shore with the sea breeze, and then he helplessly discovered that this place was far away from the beach tribe.
Zhou Ji could only carry the sea breeze and run towards the beach tribe.
After running for a while, Zhou Ji suddenly felt a little afraid to walk.
He lied to Kumano. Would Kumano be very unhappy now?
It’s all because of this sea breeze!
Zhou Ji threw Hai Feng to the ground and suddenly said, "I can let you go, but you have to listen to me from now on."
"Why?" Haifeng asked.
"You are no match for me." Zhou Ji said, and recovered some of his mental strength and energy and pressed them towards Hai Feng.
"I'll listen to you, I'll definitely listen to you!" Haifeng agreed immediately. He didn't want to die, so he had to give in.
"Just be obedient." Zhou Ji said, "In that case, you should remember my words. The fight we had before ended in a loss for both of us. Besides... after you fought with me, you felt that it was wrong to call yourself the Sea God and offended the Beast God, so you planned to confess to the Beast God and listen to me from now on."
"Okay." Haifeng agreed and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Ji wanted to show weakness, but he didn't plan to tell Haifeng.
After throwing the man on the beach, Zhou Ji went to get some trees and lit a fire by drilling wood to make fire.
The fire burned and produced a lot of smoke, which should be visible to the people of the beach tribe in the distance.
After doing all this, Zhou Ji walked to Haifeng again and used his energy to heal the wound on Haifeng's face.
After the wound on the man's face healed, Zhou Ji realized that he was not young anymore, probably in his fifties or sixties, and had a face that looked particularly honest and loyal.
"It's amazing." Haifeng was surprised to find that the wound on his face was gone. He no longer had the thought of resisting.
The person in front of him was much stronger than him.
This guy was able to kill a beast king-level sea beast after beating him half to death. He had no way of defeating him and could only obey him.
"You'd better not say anything when I speak later." Zhou Ji said, looking at Haifeng threateningly.
Haifeng nodded repeatedly, and then saw Zhou Ji lying down next to the fire, looking... a little weak?
Haifeng: “…” What on earth does this guy want to do? !
Haifeng didn’t know what Zhou Ji wanted to do, and he didn’t dare to run away. Well, he couldn’t escape either.
He left the tribe at the age of ten, and spent most of the time thereafter living in the water in the form of an animal. He actually didn't understand the world of orcs, so he was quite confused at this moment.
The flames were warm and comfortable, but the sea breeze didn't feel comfortable at all. Instead, he wanted to avoid it - he felt uncomfortable when his body was dry.
Hai Feng was feeling unwell, and Zhou Ji, who was lying down, suddenly said, "Put some firewood in there."
"On my body..." Haifeng wanted to say that he was wrapped in kelp, but he saw that all the kelp on his body was broken.
He dragged himself up with wounds all over his body, and even though he was in such a miserable state, Zhou Ji still said, "Wrap some seaweed around your body, don't be naked."
After all these years of living naked in the sea breeze, I could only wrap myself in seaweed.
After the fire burned for an hour, Kumano and Zhuzhan arrived with their men.
After seeing smoke on the distant shore at sea, Xiong Ye immediately thought of the beacon fires that Zhou Ji had told him about. He felt that Zhou Ji should be there!
After having this idea, he rowed faster and reached the shore first, then called the people from the Big Bear Tribe to find Zhou Ji - rowing was much slower than running on the shore, so this way would be faster.
Xiong Yehe brought his men to the campfire and saw Zhou Ji’s pale face at a glance.
"Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji, are you okay?" Xiong Ye's face was full of worry. He couldn't remember any of the random thoughts in his mind before. Now he just hoped that Zhou Ji was okay.
"I'm fine." Zhou Ji said.
He was indeed fine, just a little tired. Also... he hadn't absorbed the crystal core of the beast king-level sea beast yet, so he felt a little bloated.
"I'm glad you're okay." After drying his body, which was covered with tiny salt grains, Xiong Ye hugged Zhou Ji in his arms.
Xiong Ye's attention was all on Zhou Ji, but Zhu Zhan noticed Hai Feng: "Who are you?"
Haifeng looked at Zhou Ji and didn't dare to answer - Zhou Ji had told him not to talk nonsense before!
"Ahem... He is the Sea God of the Beach Tribe." Zhou Ji said, "Later in our fight, the Beast God sent down a miracle. He has realized his mistake and no longer dares to say that he is the Sea God. He has decided to believe in the Beast God."
Zhou Ji was talking nonsense, he himself didn't even believe in the Beast God.
When Hai Feng heard Zhou Ji say this, he immediately said, "Yes!"
When Zhu Zhan heard this, he was a little surprised.
With Zhou Ji's strength, it would be easy to send him across the river, but there seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Ji... But this former Sea God had no problem!
If he could get this man to help him cross the river...
"Xiong Ye, I'm sorry, I lied to you before..." Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye again: "I can't just do it casually..."
Zhou Ji wanted to act pitiful so that Xiong Ye would forgive him, but he didn't intend to go too far. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the energy in his body shook and he couldn't help but spit out blood.
The beast king's crystal core was difficult to absorb because it contained too much energy. Not only that... he didn't know if it was because he had been practicing all the time and was a little "full" after eating another crystal core this time, the crystal core in his body actually began to change.
The color of his originally purple crystal core became darker and darker, and finally slowly turned black.
He is... going to upgrade again.
It turns out there are other levels above Beast King?
Orcs all feel uncomfortable when they level up, and Zhou Ji is no exception. Not only did he spit out blood, but because there was too much energy in his body, much of which did not belong to him, even blood beads began to appear on his skin.
He soon turned into a bloody man.
In fact, after the orcs killed the mutated animals and obtained the crystal cores, no one ate them directly. If the orcs eat it directly, the energies will repel each other and may kill them, especially if they eat the crystal cores of creatures with the same strength as themselves. That would be even worse.
Only Zhou Ji knew nothing.
But he knew how to practice, so at least the consequences wouldn't be serious. It was just like when he ate the Beast God Fruit before, there was too much energy all at once, running rampant in his body and destroying it.
"Zhou Ji!" Kumano was frightened when he saw this.
Haifeng: “…” It’s obvious that Zhou Ji is fine! I was threatening him before!
So, Zhou Ji is acting, right? It's so realistic!
