C121 - Bringing Back

The people from the Beast God Temple deemed any plant that was filled with powerful energy as Beast God Fruit. This stalk of grass in front of them should be considered as such.

Compared to the fruit that Zhou Ji had eaten last time, the stalk of grass in front of him was obviously much better at protecting itself. All of its energy was drawn in and condensed within its own body, with no spillover at all. Given the fact that beastmen generally had a very low ability to perceive energy, it was extremely difficult to find.

In other words, if Hai Feng hadn’t been a Beast King, he might have regarded the stalk of grass as nothing but a common weed when he saw it.

Zhou Ji carefully observed the grass with his spiritual powers. After he determined that there would be no surprises, he gingerly dug it up along with the soil beneath it.

When he had come out this time, he had originally intended to first check out the situation and ensure that Hai Feng hadn’t tricked him about the Beast God Fruit’s existence. After that, he planned to either bring Xiong Ye here, or take the Beast God Fruit back with them. Now, it appeared that… he could directly bring it back.

He had caused a huge stir last time he picked up a Beast God Fruit, but everything was quiet this time. Nothing happened when he removed the grass from the surrounding stone.

It was so unremarkable that it was likely that nobody could believe that it actually contained a huge amount of energy.

Zhou Ji was certain that the energy contained within the stalk of grass was enough to allow Xiong Ye to become a Beast King, but it wouldn’t be easy–if Xiong Ye ate this stalk of grass directly, the energy within his body would definitely skyrocket, and problems would occur if he wasn’t able to absorb it all in time.

Zhou Ji held the grass as he went to stand on Hai Feng’s back. “Let’s go back.”

Previously, Hai Feng had nearly killed him. Although Zhou Ji hadn’t killed him for various reasons, it didn’t mean he didn’t bear any grudges. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Hai Feng lying on the ground with serious injuries without caring a whit about him.

However, now that he had the Beast God Fruit in hand, most of his antagonism towards Hai Feng had dissipated.

Zhou Ji even gave Hai Feng a bit of energy in order to help him heal his wounds.

Hai Feng immediately felt very grateful, but he later felt that this was a little wrong–he had been injured by Zhou Ji. Why should he now feel grateful that Zhou Ji was helping him treat his wounds?

Of course, there was nothing wrong with being a little thankful. At the start, he had been the one to attack first and at the end of the day, he had been wrong. It was already pretty good for Zhou Ji not to kill him…

Hai Feng suddenly thought of something on the way back. “My lord, can I go and eat the sea behemoth that you killed? I think that there should still be a bit of meat left.”

Zhou Ji had killed a sea monster that was just as powerful as a Beast King when he and Zhou Ji had fought. He had even dug up the sea behemoth’s crystal core.

Hai Feng didn’t expect to be able to obtain the crystal core, but the sea behemoth’s body… He really wanted to eat it.
