Chapter 17 – Are You Angry?
The fierce beast problem was solved faster than Luo Zhen had imagined. When Luo Zhen’s trio climbed up from below the slope, they just saw Jiao Zhu and two other beastmen rushing over.
“Are you okay?” Jiao Zhu first inspected Hei Ya’s injured foot. In order to cover the scar on the foot, Hei Ya wrapped a layer of animal skin on it, but the fight just now caused the animal skin to fall off, and his wound had been exposed, his feet were a little red and swollen.
“I’m fine.” Hei Ya squeezed the back of Jiao Zhu comfortingly.
Jiao Zhu pursed his lips, and saw that there were also large and small wounds on Luo Zhen next to him, and motioned to the warriors who came with him to take what was on Luo Zhen’s back, “It’s not safe here, let’s leave first.”
The damage in this attack on the tribe was not serious. It was just that some people damaged a lot of the fruit they had just gathered during the battle. However, the beastman warriors hunted and killed one of the beasts but the other escaped.
Only then did Luo Zhen see the look of the fierce beast. Luo Zhen had never seen a fierce beast before. It looked a bit like a crocodile, but had a thick snake tail with horns on its head and fish scales on its back. Just lying on the ground, it is already more than one meter tall, its throat has been bitten off and the slightest sign of breath is gone.
The leader, Hei Shan, saw that everyone had returned so he stopped staying by any longer, and they hurried back to the tribe with a big wave of his hand.
Although there was an accident in the middle of the collection, it was still a good harvest, especially since there was a giant beast that was hunted. It would at least allow everyone in the tribe to get a piece of meat, and no one died. Having food is already very satisfying for these primitive people.
On the way back, everyone had already forgotten about the attack and everyone’s faces were filled with joy.
Of course, Luo Zhen is no exception. In addition to the big bag of wild fruits, Luo Zhen was most satisfied with catching a pair of cuckoo birds and digging up cassava, which could serve as a staple food temporarily.

The warriors still take good care of ordinary people who can’t turn into beasts. Although Luo Zhen said that he can handle his own things, obviously everyone was not relieved to see the large and small scratches on his body. The warriors were even more unwilling to return his things to him, and kept carrying it until Luo Zhen was back in Lu Zhan’s tent before leaving.

“You’re back?”
A familiar voice came from behind and Lu Zhan stood wet in front of Luo Zhen- the bangs in front of his forehead still dripping with water. He held an arm-long catfish in his hand. The leaf bandage on his body was also torn a lot. He can see that the cluster of large thistles inside was much thinner. The biggest wound was even torn, and traces of bright red blood were left on the other’s waist and abdomen.
Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that Lu Zhan’s recovery ability was very strong, he obviously didn’t expect it to be so strong. He was able to get out of bed right after he woke up. If Luo Zhen didn’t guess wrong, from Lu Zhan’s appearance, the other party was not only able to get out of bed, but he also went into the waters to hunt.
Lu Zhan’s eyes swept over the cuckoo bird held in Luo Zhen’s hand, and he showed an expression full of disgust but thankfully, he didn’t expect the man he picked up to have any hunting ability, “The cuckoo bird has no meat, and it’s all covered with feathers, eat this if you want to eat meat.”
Lu Zhan handed the catfish he was holding to Luo Zhen, and added, “This fish has no bones in its flesh, so don’t worry.” Some people sometimes don’t catch fish because they don’t know how to prepare the fish. There are many small bones hidden which can stab the throat, or even get stuck in the throat, making it impossible to eat.
Therefore, unless it is really impossible to hunt another prey, the people in the tribe will not have the idea of catching some fish in the river. Of course, with the exception of Lu Zhan, he seems to be born knowing which fish can be eaten and which fish has more delicious meat.
Perhaps this is related to his other state but Lu Zhan has never studied it. Anyway, there is no way to achieve a complete transformation so no matter how many forms of half-beastmans he has, they are meaningless to him.
“Thank you.” Luo Zhen took it and put it aside. Seeing the size of the catfish, Luo Zhen didn’t think it was enough for Lu Zhan. Maybe the other party had eaten some outside and this catfish was caught and brought back to Luo. Zhen, it’s just that Lu Zhan didn’t say it clearly so Luo Zhen didn’t ask as well.
“But you are still injured, and it is not suitable for you to be getting out of bed now.” Luo Zhen’s face was still a bit stiff and his tone was obviously a little unhappy. “And if you don’t want the wound to get worse, it’s not suitable to be eating fish for now.”
Lu Zhan picked up the animal skins hanging on the wall of the tent, and then sat back on the slate bed. Although his stomach was filled, his injured body felt even more tired because of the outing this time. Now Lu Zhan just wants to lie back on the bed and sleep.
Hearing this, he tilted his head in confusion, and his tone was a little puzzled, “Why can’t I eat fish?”
Luo Zhen tried to use words that the other party could understand to explain to Lu Zhan the problem of his injuries that require avoiding foods but this primitive man obviously did not take this matter to heart, and waved his hand after only hearing half of it, “Are these herbs? Do you want to change them? Have you picked new herbs back?”
Luo Zhen sighed, and walked over to lift the leaves wrapped around him. It was probably the reason why he was soaked and covered all the way. The wound was a bit whitish and looked a bit hideous. Luo Zhen sighed, how can this person still be okay?
For these people who did not obey the instructions, Luo Zhen wanted to beat them. Fortunately, at the last minute, he remembered the difference between the beastman and him, he only pushed each other onto the bed and went to the basket to find the newly picked thistles, “Lie down.”
Lu Zhan looked at Luo Zhen who was pounding medicine in a puzzled way, “Are you angry?”
Luo Zhen’s hands kept moving. Seeing that Luo Zhen didn’t answer, Lu Zhan asked again, “Why?”
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhan asked guessingly, “Is it because I didn’t listen to you and ran out? But I was hungry. The fruits that A-Shui brought could not fill my stomach, and the wounds would heal faster if I was full.”
Lu Zhan has always been like this since he was young. As long as he can move, he will go out hunting. When he was a child, there were not as many warriors in the tribe because at that time, there were no foreigners who would join. Even if the tribe could bring out some food for those without parents, these children can only eat enough so that they don’t just starve to death, but those things can’t fill their stomachs at all.
Lu Zhan had no hunting ability at the time, and he couldn’t transform so he grew up hungry a lot. After being able to hunt on his own, he never made himself hungry again, but slowly he discovered that his appetite was much larger than that of other people, and his semi-beast form was also different from other people.
“I didn’t say that you shouldn’t fill your stomach.” Luo Zhen sighed. Lu Zhan’s words made him realize the difficulties of people living here again. He stepped forward and helped the other party to remove the thistle and leaves from the wound. He cleaned it up, and then carefully wiped the wound with clean animal skins and applied new smashed thistle.
“Don’t worry, I found a lot of things today. Even if you eat more, I won’t let you go hungry.” Luo Zhen paused, “So if you get hurt so badly in the future, don’t go out hunting anymore. Even if you have to go out, don’t go into the water.”
“Are you worried about me?” Lu Zhan suddenly said, “Why? We are not real partners.”
Luo Zhen was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.
Lu Zhan was the first person he met when he came to this strange world, and he was also the person he knew best. Even though the other party seemed to have a lot of secrets, Luo Zhen didn’t want the other party to die, especially because the other party’s injuries were all because of protecting him. Luo Zhen didn’t want the other party to die somewhere he didn’t know.
After these few days of getting along, and the human-faced bird incident, although the time they spent is still short, Luo Zhen really categorized this person as someone he liked in his own heart. Of course, this feeling is not deep, and it is based on Lu Zhan not betraying him, hurting him and letting him do things he doesn’t want.
Under this premise, Luo Zhen certainly hopes that the other party can live healthy and long. The opponents here are very powerful. In this place full of poisonous insects and beasts, Luo Zhen will be able to live more peacefully if Lu Zhan can be his bodyguard for a period of time. Luo Zhen needs time to allow himself to adapt to this world and to live well in this world.
When he encounters a strange and dangerous world, he cannot give up hope of survival. That is a behavior that only cowards can do. Luo Zhen does not want to die. Whether in the peaceful world before or in this dangerous world, Luo Zhen wants to live and he wants to live well.
“If you die, I will be forced to be with other fighters in the tribe.” Luo Zhen raised his head and stared at him, “I don’t want to be someone else’s partner so before I can live on my own, I hope you can live well too.”
Lu Zhan and the other party looked at each other clearly and he could see the seriousness in the other’s eyes. Lu Zhan curled his lips and smiled, his beautiful peachy eyes slightly bent, “Of course, I will live longer than you.”
Luo Zhen nodded and quickly changed the new medicine for each other, and both of them stopped mentioning the previous topic.
Lu Zhan, who had eaten, drank, and changed his medicine, quickly fell asleep. Luo Zhen had time to deal with the things he brought back. There was no cage here, and the cuckoo bird was afraid of people, so Luo Zhen had to put these two little things together. Tie them under the cedar tree outside, and found some fresh weeds to put next to it.
Thank you for the chapter!!
I’m excited to see when Luo Zhen and Lu Zhan falling for each other. Thank you for the chapter
