Zhou Ji had fainted while covered in blood, looking particularly miserable.

As a Beast King, Hai Feng could clearly sense the powerful energy roiling around in Zhou Ji’s body, but the others’ senses weren’t as keen as his were.

Xiong Ye was terrified, and Xiong Qi and the others were also incredibly worried, “What’s wrong with Zhou Ji?”

“Was Zhou Ji injured?”

“Is he all right?”

……

After asking these questions anxiously, everyone turned to look at Hai Feng.

Hai Feng could only reply, “We fought against each other before, and we both suffered defeat…” He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing if he spoke any more, so he didn’t dare continue at this point and just glanced at Zhou Ji.

However, Zhou Ji had already closed his eyes and wasn’t moving. He could only move his gaze away, feeling depressed and wronged in his heart–it was clear that they hadn’t both suffered defeat. Obviously, he had been the one who had been unilaterally beaten!

However, nobody knew about his grievances. The people of the Big Bear Tribe couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a second glance.

“What do you mean, you both suffered defeat? Zhou Ji’s injuries are obviously more serious.” Xiong Qi grumbled as he glared at Hai Feng.

Hai Feng: “……” He felt even more wronged!

“Let’s go back.” Xiong Ye said. He picked up the unconscious Zhou Ji and headed back–they had herbs back at their camp, and he wanted to bring Zhou Ji back so that he could feed him some medicine.

One-Eyed Wolf’s earlier words had actually affected Xiong Ye’s heart.

He was very certain that Zhou Ji cared about him, but Zhou Ji was too strong, and he couldn’t be sure if Zhou Ji would always continue to care about him.

And… he and Zhou Ji had never had the most intimate form of contact.

He had originally believed him when Zhou Ji said that he was worried about the pain, but… was Zhou Ji really afraid of pain?

With that thought in mind, Xiong Ye felt a little unhappy. However, now that Zhou Ji had been injured, he no longer had time to concern himself with these things. On the other hand, he started to think about what had happened in the past.

That time when he had been injured by the arthropleura, Zhou Ji had massacred all the arthropleura, destroyed an entire mountain worth of trees, then passed out right in front of him.

It was the same this time. Zhou Ji had appeared very strong before, but he now he looked like he was on his last breath.

So, did that mean that it took a lot out of Zhou Ji when he used such strong powers to fight?

Xiong Ye ran swiftly with Zhou Ji in his arms. Seeing the situation Zhu Zhan also picked up Hai Feng and headed back after Xiong Ye. He wasn’t able to keep after a while, and a little after that… He couldn’t even see Xiong Ye’s shadow.
