Winter was very cold in the Big Bear Tribe, but Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji were warm and comfortable.

Regardless of whether it was Zhou Ji or Xiong Ye, they both felt that they’d experienced and seen too much along the way.

Zhou Ji discovered that although the mammals in the world couldn’t be eaten, there were many other substitutes for them. Xiong Ye was also amazed to learn that the world was so big!

They constantly made their way south. The temperature became warmer and warmer, until at last, it felt like it was almost the same as summer. At the same time, Zhou Ji became sunburned even though he’d been careful about avoiding the sun.

On that day, they made a stop by the seaside once again.

The water in this world was very clear. As long as the weather was good, and it was a place where the water wasn’t dirty, the fish even tens of meters under water could still be clearly seen from the surface.

Xiong Ye had liked water ever since he was young. He would dive into the sea, and it was easy for him to catch fish.

It was even easier for Zhou Ji to catch fish. When he used his plant powers, the kelp in the sea would roll up to catch fish and send them over to him.

They would always return with a full load of food. The only thing was that they would always have many fine grains of salt on their bodies every time they came back from going down to the sea… Both of them would have to find a river to bathe in every time they went into the sea to catch prey. After washing, Zhou Ji could shrink his animal form and enjoy having Xiong Ye comb his hair, but unfortunately, Xiong Ye’s animal form was too big now. Even though Zhou Ji wanted to comb Xiong Ye’s fur, he couldn’t comb his entire body.

Zhou Ji very much hoped that Xiong Ye would improve his strength so that he would ultimately be able to become bigger and smaller just like him. Unfortunately, they hadn’t found any Beast God Fruits during their journey and had only encountered monsters that were about the same level of strength as high level Beast Warriors.

Xiong Ye had killed all of them and eaten their meat. The crystal cores contained within their bodies was brought along so that he could use them to slowly cultivate.

Unfortunately, while Zhou Ji could absorb the energy in those crystal cores very quickly even if he swallowed them whole, Xiong Ye couldn’t do the same. He had to absorb the energy contained in the crystal cores very, very slowly.

However, even if he was slow, it would still be absorbed sooner or later… Zhou Ji had confidence in Xiong Ye.

Based on their strength, they would be able to live for at least another hundred years if they were careful. He wasn’t in a hurry.

After washing up, Zhou Ji began to cook.

They’d caught a very large fish that day, and Zhou Ji planned to bake the fish whole.

He removed the shells from some shellfish and conchs, mixed the meat with seasoning and stuffed them into the big fish’s belly, then sewed it back up. He cut some holes in the fish skin with a knife, then sprinkled more seasoning on top and finally grilled the entire fish over the fire…

Having spent more time cooking, Zhou Ji became even better at cooking. From time to time, he would even innovate and make new dishes, and the things he came up with were also very delicious.

The grilled fish this time was particularly fragrant.

A large fish like this had a lot of fat in its body and had very thick skin. It sizzled as it was grilled, and oil seeped out from the skin to drip down into the fire…
