If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

The two were forced to kneel on the ground by the savages, seemingly waiting for something.

Suddenly, the savages began to roar excitedly. They all headed towards the depths of the cave, waving their arms and legs as if they were dancing, as if they were welcoming someone.

On the cave wall, a shadow was stretched long by the light emitted from the torch.

"It must be their leader who has arrived."

"Nonsense, I just hope they've evolved to the point where they don't eat people anymore."

"They captured us to eat us?"

This was the first time Hou Zhenghao had ever seen a wild man. In his mind, wild men were just people who made a living by hunting, and he never thought that they would eat people.

"Are you suggesting we invite you to dinner? Unless the chief is a woman and takes a liking to you, and you become his wife, then we might be saved."

"This joke is not funny at all."

No sooner had Hou Zhenghao finished speaking than the two saw a heavyweight figure appear in the cave.

"Damn, it really is a female."

A plump woman, surrounded by a group of savage men, approached Zhou Wu and Hou Zhenghao.

Both sides were sizing each other up.

The woman weighed at least 200 pounds and had difficulty walking, so she needed someone to help her. She was disheveled, and her teeth were as yellow as those of a smoker who had been smoking for decades. Most importantly, she had unusually thick body hair all over her body, which was no less than that of a male savage.

The other party first sized up Zhou Wu, his face full of arrogance and disdain, and let out a heavy snort.

Zhou Wu didn't understand what this fat woman meant. Did she look down on him? Well, I look down on you too.

However, when the fat woman stepped over Zhou Wu and stood in front of Hou Zhenghao, her expression immediately changed.

Zhou Wu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the fat woman's face suddenly seemed a little shy, like a young girl seeing her Prince Charming.

"He wouldn't actually have a crush on you, would he?!"

"Bullshit, I'd rather die."

Even Hou Zhenghao felt disgusted by the mention of Zhou Wu. He had remained chaste his entire life, avoiding men and brothels, while Zhou Wu alone upheld his principles, numbing himself by constantly wielding a knife.

"Uru, Apopo."

"Bobo"

The fat woman suddenly started talking to the savage next to her, and then the savages forced the two of them to walk towards the back of the cave.

Once deep inside the cave, Zhou Wu finally understood why the cave was so warm: there was a large hot spring inside.

Not only was the temperature problem solved, but these wild people also got hot water to drink and cooked food to eat.

The savages escorted the two men to the hot spring, untied them, and then kicked them both into the water, one after the other.

"Holy crap, it's so hot."

The temperature of this hot spring was no joke; it was almost hot enough to boil an egg. Hou Zhenghao, being a martial artist, was able to handle it, but Zhou Wu tried to get ashore, only to be pushed back down by the savage with a stick.

"Damn it, are they going to give us a bath or boil us alive?"

Zhou Wu and Hou Zhenghao both thought they were being asked to take a bath, but after they went down, the savages started pouring some unfamiliar grasses and plants into the hot spring.

"Oh no, we've been turned into a hot pot!"

Zhou Wu felt he could already smell the aroma of the hot pot. When he turned to look at Hou Zhenghao, he saw that the guy was actually resting with his eyes closed.

"Brother, are you accepting your fate? That's not like you. Don't you believe your destiny is in your own hands, not in the hands of heaven?"

Hou Zhenghao still ignored him and kept his eyes closed, but something strange happened to him.

Smoke began to rise from his head, and his entire body turned red.

"Holy crap, bro, are you done yet?"

At the crucial moment, Hou Zhenghao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"What an unexpected bonus! I never thought that soaking in this scalding hot spring would actually lead to a breakthrough. My injuries are also almost completely healed."

Hou Zhenghao no longer looked sickly as before; he had regained his former energetic state.

"You mean you've fully recovered?"

"Hmph, a bunch of savages, watch me take you out of here."

Hou Zhenghao felt that he was in better condition than ever before. He had broken through a level in martial arts and his body was full of power.

With a leap, Hou Zhenghao flew ashore and began fighting the savage.

"It's all up to you."

Sure enough, after Hou Zhenghao improved his martial arts, these savages were no match for him.

While one man was chasing a group of savages, no one noticed that the female chieftain, who was not far away, was looking at Hou Zhenghao with a different attitude. The female chieftain had always liked Hou Zhenghao, but after discussing with her tribe, the tribe said that the hunt had been difficult lately and hoped that the queen could consider the overall situation and treat them all as food.

To be fair, although the chieftain is a bit of a womanizer, it's still quite admirable that he puts his people first at this time.

Seeing her tribesmen being defeated one by one, the female chieftain was not angry at all; instead, she excitedly licked her lips.

Just as Hou Zhenghao was gaining the upper hand, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind. A thick wooden stick swept past him with such speed and force that Hou Zhenghao had no choice but to temporarily avoid its attack.

"Is this still a woman?"

Hou Zhenghao was shocked. If his senses hadn't improved, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge that blow. If he had taken it head-on, he would have been badly injured, if not killed.

Despite her seemingly bulky body, the Queen was surprisingly agile in combat.

The tree trunk and stick in their hands were even more lethal.

After Hou Zhenghao faced off against the Queen, he lost all his previous imposing manner.

"I never expected that the Queen's intervention would immediately change the balance of the battle."

Hope had just been ignited, but it was shattered so quickly.

Hou Zhenghao, who had just broken through to the Martial Realm, was still defeated by the Queen after less than ten moves.

"It's over."

Hou Zhenghao's hopes were dashed once again, and the Queen threw him into the hot spring pool with one hand. However, this time it seemed a little different.

The queen whispered a few more words to the savage beside her, and then the savage scooped up the "spices" from the pool.

Being defeated by the savages seemed to have been a big blow to Hou Zhenghao. After being thrown into the hot spring, Hou Zhenghao didn't say a word, letting the savages rub and wash his body.

After washing him clean, they even helped him change into a new animal skin outfit.

It seems the Queen has indeed taken a liking to Hou Zhenghao, otherwise why would he suddenly receive this treatment?

Zhou Wu also benefited from this, and was treated as part of the groom's family, with all the good food and drinks brought out for him.

At this moment, the savages in the cave were all beaming with joy, seemingly busy preparing for the queen's wedding.

The cave was a maze of interconnected caves, with many smaller caves within caves. Zhou Wu and Hou Zhenghao were trapped in one of the smaller caves.
