Then, he noticed that Xiang Tian had returned and was observing the tribe from a dark corner. Xiang Tian's aura was still unstable.
If he wasn't wrong, Xiang Tian's current condition was very bad. A person who could collapse at any time was like a bomb to the big bear tribe.
People who were about to die were capable of anything.
With Zhou Ji's current strength, it was easy for him to leave the tribe quietly.
He left the tribe and used his plant ability to make clothes for himself. He also made a mask out of wood and wore it.
This kind of clothing was very sloppy. In Zhou Ji's eyes, it was laughable. But in this world, everyone wore different clothes. This kind of clothing was not bad.
Let alone others, Xiang Tian … Xiang Tian's clothes were different from the animal skins that the people in the tribe wore. They were of a much higher quality. But in Zhou Ji's eyes, it was just a gunny sack.
Zhou Ji looked at the man in front of him through the mask.
This man looked very similar to him, or rather, he looked very similar to the body he had transmigrated into. Shi Li was probably telling the truth. This man was the father of the original body.
Otherwise, if such a strong person was casually made up by others, saying that he had a 'useless' son, he would probably have slapped him to death before slapping Shi Li to death.
After losing the divine fruit, Xiang Tian had gone crazy. Now that a mysterious person had appeared in front of him, he finally calmed down. He even retracted the chaotic energy in his body.
With that, the energy in the air calmed down. Zhou Ji looked at him and said, "I took the fruit from the crack."
"Who are you?" Xiang Tian looked at Zhou Ji coldly.
"You don't need to know," Zhou Ji looked at him calmly. "You're about to die."
Xiang Tian's ugly expression became even uglier. Killing intent rose from his body.
Zhou Ji ignored it all. "That fruit can't cure you. The energy in your body is so chaotic. If you eat it rashly, you will collapse on the spot."
"Ha!" Xiang Tian sneered. He had thought of this possibility before, but he didn't believe it when this person said it.
That fruit was his only chance of survival!
Right now, he just wanted to know who this mysterious person was! Was this person the person who revealed his identity from the lion's mouth?
Seeing that Mammoth Heaven didn't believe him, Zhou Ji didn't find it strange. His psychic power surged towards Mammoth Heaven, and the energy within him pressed down on him.
Mammoth Heaven coughed up a mouthful of blood, his expression flickering.
Among the many beast kings, he was considered the strongest. Even though there were hidden injuries in his body, he was not afraid of others. However, this person before him was actually able to suppress him.
Just when Mammoth Heaven was about to say something, he suddenly felt completely powerless. At the same time, something unknown entered his body.
Mammoth Heaven turned pale with fright. He had spent more than twenty years in this desolate forest, thinking that this was his salvation. Never could he have imagined that it would be his burial ground!
This person … wanted to kill him?
Mammoth Sky wanted to fight back, but he quickly realized that something was wrong. The mysterious power that had entered his body didn't hurt him, but instead, it was healing his shattered crystal core.
For a moment, Mammoth Heaven couldn't differentiate between reality and illusion.
After a long time, Mammoth Heaven woke up and found that his condition was better than ever.
His hidden injuries hadn't been completely healed, but the condition of his crystal core was much better than before he had found the divine fruit!
Before, Mammoth Heaven still hated this mysterious person to the bone. But now, he didn't dare to hate him.
This person was too strong, and his methods were incomparably mysterious. He definitely couldn't make an enemy out of someone like this.
Just as Mammoth Heaven was thinking that, he heard the mysterious person say, "Leave the desolate forest immediately."
After the man finished speaking, he quickly disappeared without a trace.
Mammoth Heaven felt like he had just walked a circle of life and death. He was both respectful and afraid, but he didn't dare to stay in this place any longer.
He left quickly, ran some distance, and returned to the cave where he had knocked Lion Li unconscious and hidden him.
The unconscious Lion Li was still lying there. He picked him up and quickly left the desolate forest.
In the middle of the journey, Lion Li woke up and realized the situation he was in. Just as he was about to struggle, Mammoth Heaven slapped him unconscious.
Mammoth Heaven couldn't deal with the mysterious person, so he vented his anger on Lion Li.
The only reason he hadn't killed Lion Li was because Lion Li could absorb the energy around him.
Thinking of this, Mammoth Heaven glanced back.
He was afraid that the lion was related to the mysterious person, and that the mysterious person would catch up. Luckily, he didn't see anything.
Mammoth Heaven sped up.
The desolate forest was a barren land. The people of Beast God Palace always looked down on people and tribes that were born here. Who would have thought that there would be such a powerful expert in the desolate forest?
Zhou Ji saw Mammoth Heaven leave with Lion Li.
He helped Mammoth Heaven because he was afraid that Mammoth Heaven would go crazy, and also because Mammoth Heaven was the father of the original owner. As for Mammoth Heaven looking down on him … he could understand that. If he had a stupid son, he probably wouldn't like him either.
But he didn't plan to help Lion Li.
First, he didn't like to meddle in this kind of business. Second … he felt that there was something wrong with Lion Li.
If there was something wrong with him, it was better to let him leave the tribe.
As for Lion Li being taken away and being tortured by Mammoth Heaven … it was Lion Li who provoked Mammoth Heaven. It had nothing to do with him.
He just wanted the big bear tribe and Xiong Ye to be well.
Zhou Ji used his spiritual power and plant powder to deal with Mammoth Heaven. Actually, he wasn't as powerful as Mammoth Heaven thought. It wasn't easy to treat Mammoth Heaven either.
He didn't have the ability to completely restore Mammoth Heaven's crystal core. Therefore, he could only give Mammoth Heaven a rough estimate. If nothing unexpected happened, Mammoth Heaven should be able to live for another 10 years.
As for what would happen after that, it was none of his business.
After dealing with Mammoth Heaven, Zhou Ji was quite tired. His spiritual power had been exhausted …
Rubbing his forehead, Zhou Ji decided to go to the place where the powerful energy was released last night.
He didn't know what the original owner's father had done to the forest.
Although there was nothing in the forest except trees and insects, Zhou Ji liked the forest full of hundred-year-old trees.
When Zhou Ji drove Mammoth Heaven away, Xiong Ye, who went out to hunt, bumped into a centipede.
Xiong Ye went hunting with Xiong Qi. Since Zhou Ji cured Xiong Qi's wound, Xiong Qi had been overly enthusiastic to him.
Although Xiong Ye was not used to it sometimes, he had to admit that it was a good thing to have Xiong Qi as his assistant when hunting.
They knew each other very well and cooperated with each other tacitly.
As the two of them walked forward, they observed their surroundings. As they were walking, a huge centipede about five to six meters long suddenly crawled out from the mud beside them and pounced at them.
Xiong Ye and Xiong Qi were both experienced in battle, so they instantly transformed into their beast forms. However, this Segmented Pectoral Centipede was not easy to deal with. The two of them were surrounded by danger — they could not easily break the Segmented Pectoral Centipede's shell, but the Segmented Pectoral Centipede could easily cut through their fur.
If there were more people, they could attract the centipede's combat power while the rest could attack the centipede's joints. However, there were only two of them.
This centipede was much more powerful than the one Xiong He and Xiong Qi had met before!
In a moment of carelessness, Xiong Ye was scratched by the centipede several times. His chest was torn open.
When Xiong He caught the centipede, Xiong Ye had wanted to catch one as well. However, he was regretting it now. At this time, they could only fight and not retreat.
This centipede was obviously full of hatred for them!
Speaking of which, Xiong Ye was unlucky. Segmented centipedes usually ate rotten leaves, and didn't attack humans. However, Mammoth Heaven had killed quite a few of them in the forest, and that had caused a lot of enmity among them.
Ordinary centipedes were only three meters long. This centipede had actually evolved and was smarter. Now that it had a grudge against humans, it was inevitable that it would attack Xiong Ye and Xiong Qi.
Xiong Ye and Xiong Qi's beast forms were very large, but the centipede was not inferior to them. The two sides immediately started fighting.
"Roar!" Xiong Qi roared, signaling for his companion to leave.
However, Xiong Ye knew very well that if he left, Xiong Qi would die on the spot. As for the two of them working together …
Xiong Ye clawed at the centipede's abdomen and tore open a wound. However, a moment of carelessness caused him to be flipped over again.
It was also at this time that Xiong Ye suddenly noticed the beast skin skirt that had fallen to the ground after he transformed into his beast form.
Zhou Ji would often prepare some weapons for him. This time, he had even prepared some poison. Xiong Ye had never used these things before.
He liked to fight in his beast form and was happy to train his combat strength.
But now …
Xiong Ye picked up the beast skin skirt and threw it at the centipede's mouth.
The centipede swallowed the skirt in one gulp.
Then, the centipede continued to bite at Xiong Ye …
At a time like this, Xiong Ye did not even have the time to regret. He could only continue fighting. In the end, when he and Xiong Qi were already riddled with wounds, the centipede actually abandoned them and rolled on the ground.
The surrounding shrubs were flattened, and even some small trees were knocked over. The centipede curled up into a ball and rolled around.
The brown bears and polar bears, who were not good at climbing trees, were stunned. They rolled and crawled far away. When they returned, they found that the centipede was already dead.
Xiong Qi returned to his human form. He was still in shock. "What did you feed it?"
Xiong Ye also returned to his human form. "Poison."
Xiong Qi took a deep breath and said, "Xiong Ye, you're so smart …"
"Stop talking. Let's go," Xiong Ye said.
In the past, they would have brought their prey back to the tribe at this time. However, he and Xiong Qi were seriously injured … If they brought their prey along, they would only become prey for others. The wisest choice was to abandon their prey and return quickly.
