After the Big Bear Tribe’s salt team left the tribe, they traveled very quickly.

It was now early spring, and the snow on the mountain had melted, gathering into a stream that slowly flowed down from the top of the mountain. The wet soil was sticky, causing people to leave footprints with every step.

Many dinosaurs would lower their body temperature and hide during winter. At this time, they all started coming out again, gnawing at the branches to start fattening themselves up again.

After seeing those thin dinosaurs, Xiong Ye felt that he had really been too comfortable during this past winter––winter had gone by, but not only had he not gotten thinner, he had actually grown fatter!

This was something that had never happened to him before.

And Zhou Ji had a lot to do with it all––if Zhou Ji hadn’t taught them how to grow barley and earth eggs, their tribe probably wouldn’t have had enough to eat even if they were able to obtain a lot of meat.

They didn’t want to waste too much time traveling, so they pushed on all day long and only stopped in the evening to set up camp and prepare food.

On the first night, they stopped not far from the tribe.

Xiong Qi, who had come out with Xiong Ye to trade for salt, came over to Zhou Ji’s side when they stopped traveling for the day, “Zhou Ji, is there anything I can help you with?”

Since Xiong Qi had taken the initiative to offer to help, Zhou Ji didn’t refuse. He had him help wash the vegetables and fetch water.

After that, there were also others, who had gone to trade for salt with Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji last time, who scurried off to get firewood for Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji accepted it all, and even had these people build a fire and set up a shed for him to sleep in.

During the day, Zhou Ji hadn’t done anything and simply stayed on Xiong Ye’s back. Now, he was like this… He really lived up to his name as the Beast God’s messenger. He was so different from everyone else!

Zhou Ji knew that various aspects of his behavior would make people jealous and was just thinking about whether or not he should reign it in a bit when he discovered that everyone was looking at him with worshipful gazes. He also heard the conversation between these people using his spiritual powers, “The Beast God’s messenger really is different from us.”

“That lord looks so distinguished!”

“I heard that he was someone who could communicate with the Beast God. I want to serve him, too.”

“Would I also be blessed by the Beast God if I get close to him?”

……

Zhou Ji: “……” The life of a fraud was very good in this era.

Zhou Ji was even thinking about whether or not he should simply pretend to be a god.

The Beach Tribe had a Sea God. Could he use his plant abilities to pretend to be an Earth God or something?

Zhou Ji thought about it and soon gave up on the idea.
