There is a beast in the bright morning.

After an unknown amount of time, Hao Chen opened his eyes and suddenly saw the Four-Faced Beast carrying Bixie and Tianlu on its back, heading forward without looking back.

"Wait, Four-Faced Beasts, where are you going? Wait for me, don't leave me behind!"

"No~"

Hao Chen shouted loudly and jumped up from the ground, only to see that Si Bu Xiang and Bi Xie were staring straight at him. Si Bu Xiang stepped forward and reached out a paw to touch Hao Chen's forehead: "Little Coal Ball, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Hao Chen shook his head, then looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness it was just a dream. I knew it! How could the Four-Faced Beast abandon me and elope with Bixie and the others!"

After stretching his body, Hao Chen looked at the Four-Faced Beast so close to him and couldn't help but jump up, hug the Four-Faced Beast's neck, and hang directly on its neck.

"Little coal ball, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you smell so nice and soft, I suddenly wanted to hug you."

"Really? Why doesn't Little Plum Blossom like to get close to me?"

Upon hearing Hao Chen's answer, Si Bu Xiang subconsciously replied, but immediately after speaking, Si Bu Xiang looked at Bi Xie and found that Bi Xie had not noticed him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hao Chen, who was currently perched on the back of the Four-Unlikes, naturally heard what the Four-Unlikes said and couldn't help but ask, "Four-Unlikes, do you like warding off evil spirits?"

When Hao Chen exposed Si Bu Xiang's thoughts, he was so frightened that he repeatedly denied it: "Little Coal Ball, don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

Hao Chen persisted, saying, "So you just don't like the Four-Faced Beast."

"No, I like... Ugh, little coal ball, you're so annoying, I'm ignoring you." The four-legged creature used its tail to roll Hao Chen off its back.

"Hehe, just say you like it, why be so ambiguous?" After teasing the Four-Faced Beast, Hao Chen felt much more refreshed.

"Speaking of which, isn't something missing... Hmm, where's Tianlu?"

Hao Chen looked left and right and found that he could only see the Four-Unlikes and the Evil-Repelling Beast, but not Tian Lu.

Without Tianlu making a ruckus around, Haochen was really not used to it: "Bixie, where's Tianlu?"

Bixie, who had been expressionless, frowned when Haochen mentioned Tianlu, which convinced Haochen that there must be a story behind it.

Haochen kept rubbing against Bixie: "Brother Bixie, tell me what Tianlu is doing."

Bixie looked at Haochen, who kept rubbing against him, speechless. He didn't know what was wrong with Haochen, who especially liked to stick to him, Tianlu, and Sibuxiang.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Tianlu is in a competition right now."

"Contest?!"

Led by Bixie, Haochen finally saw Tianlu's competition, only to find two enormous, already prepared Dangkang Kings in an open space.

Meanwhile, Tianlu and Shengyuanzi, one beast and one king, were eating heartily.

"Wow, such a large Dang Kang King is a rare sight indeed."

Hao Chen was initially surprised by the King of Dang Kang, since he had never seen such a large King of Dang Kang even after robbing the entire Caiyun Mountain Range in the future.

I never expected that there would still be a King Kang in this era. It seems that my diet will not be monotonous from now on.

However, after watching for a long time, Hao Chen still couldn't figure out what Tian Lu and the others were competing in. Could it be that they were competing to see who could eat more or who could eat faster?

Bixie seemed to sense Haochen's confusion, so he explained it to Haochen. To Haochen's surprise, Tianlu was indeed competing with the Holy Ape in terms of eating.

"Bixie, are you just going to let Tianlu run wild like this?"

“This… but this is something Tianlu excels at. Only in this way can we avenge you.”

Hao Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected that Tian Lu's reason for competing with the Holy Ape in eating was actually to vent his anger.

"Bixie, you're so good." Haochen took the opportunity to hug Bixie and inhale the fragrance of the Pixiu on his body.

"Okay, Haochen, stop it, it tickles." Bixie was also helpless with Haochen. This younger brother was good in every way, but his habit of sticking to him all the time made Bixie feel a little shy.

After absorbing the fragrance of the warding-off evil spirit, Hao Chen revealed a satisfied expression, feeling a little proud: "Hmph, warding off evil spirit, serves you right for spanking me, now I'm going to get my revenge."

Just then, the little interaction between Hao Chen and Bi Xie caught the attention of Sheng Yuan Zi, who stopped eating and came to Hao Chen's side: "You're awake."

Seeing that Hao Chen still seemed wary of him, the Holy Ape laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. I heard you mention the Holy Ape King before, and I wanted to ask you about the Holy Ape King's whereabouts."

Upon hearing the words of the Holy Ape King, Hao Chen cautiously asked, "Who is the Holy Ape King to you?"

"He is my third uncle." Saint Ape said frankly and openly about his relationship with Saint Ape King.

Then, the Holy Ape said through gritted teeth, "My purpose in coming here is to twist off the head of my third uncle and take it back to pay tribute to the clansmen he harmed."

After the Holy Ape King explained, Hao Chen finally understood the grudge between him and the Holy Ape King.

Saint Ape Child is the supreme emperor of the Saint Ape clan, the son of the Fighting God. Because after his birth, the Fighting God predicted that he would have a great opportunity in the future, so he was sealed in this era.

As the younger brother of the Fighting God, the Holy Ape King voluntarily chose to be sealed away and remain as the protector of the Holy Ape Child.

However, the Holy Ape King harbored malicious intentions and, after the Fighting God entered the Divine Realm, stole the legacy left by the Fighting God to the Holy Ape Clan.

After listening to the Holy Ape's account, Hao Chen slowly said, "If you're looking for the Holy Ape King, then you've come at the wrong time."

Saint Ape asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?"

"You've arrived too early. The Holy Ape King will probably be several thousand years from now."

Hao Chen then told Saint Ape what he knew. Saint Ape listened and said, "It seems that the spacetime vortex from before was the culprit. I wonder which bastard created it. I hope I don't find out who that bastard is."

"Achoo!" Hao Chen suddenly sneezed.

"I won! Look, Pixie, I won!"

Just then, Hao Chen suddenly heard Tian Lu's excited voice, while Sheng Yuanzi seemed a little embarrassed after hearing Tian Lu's voice, as he then remembered that he still had a competition to attend.

Although he didn't care about the result of the match, losing like this made Saint Ape's face look rather unpleasant.

"I won, give it to me now!"

Tianlu jogged up to the Holy Ape, who reluctantly took off his bronze armor and handed it to Tianlu.

The moment Tianlu got his hands on the armor, he took a bite. With a crunch, Saint Ape looked at the armor, which was clearly missing a piece, with heartache and wailed in his heart, "My armor, what a waste!"

Hao Chen looked at Sheng Yuanzi and said, "You're playing such a big game, even using your clothes as a wager?"

"Cough cough, it's nothing, I have a hundred or two hundred sets of this kind of armor at home." Although Saint Ape was heartbroken, he still pretended to be indifferent.

Hao Chen knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't expose it. The material of this armor was obviously extraordinary, and the many runes engraved on it were clearly the work of a powerful figure from the Holy Ape Clan.

"By the way, Holy Ape, what are your plans for the future?"

"Haochen, tell me my plans for the future. I'll stick with you guys for now."

Saint Ape's words puzzled Hao Chen. What was the point of following them? Were they going to run all over the world?

Seeing Hao Chen's confusion, Saint Ape explained, "It's like this: your companions have a strong aura of fortune. Following them will accelerate your understanding of the laws of heaven and earth."

"If the Holy Ape wasn't lying to me, could it be that the Heavenly Court really plotted to frame them for the sake of the Four-Unlikes' fortune?" Hao Chen thought to himself.

At this moment, Hao Chen noticed that the Four-Faced Beast was bringing a group of humans over, and Tian Lu clearly showed a look of disgust when he saw the group of humans.

"Ugh, smelly mud people, let's go eat somewhere else, Bixie." Tianlu dragged the Holy Ape's armor to Bixie's side, and without saying a word, Bixie also bit the armor, and together with Tianlu, they dragged it away.

After the Four-Unseen Bixie left, he was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized that Bixie disliked the mud figure behind him, not him.

“Little Coal Ball, these mud men are looking for you,” Four-Faced Beast said, pointing to a group of mud men behind him.

Before Hao Chen could react, the Four-Faced Beast hurriedly chased after the direction where the Evil-Repelling Demon had left.

Saint Ape grinned and said, "Haochen, your friend's orientation seems... seems a bit peculiar."

"Hehe, you're not surprised anymore after seeing it so many times," Hao Chen said casually.

Then, Hao Chen looked at the kneeling humans below and said, "Get up. What do you want from me?"

Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, the elder at the head of the group bowed respectfully and then pleaded, "Our Ji clan begs the gods for mercy to make this our tribe's sacrificial totem."

"Spirit Offering?!" Hao Chen suddenly had a feeling that he needed the power of the Spirit Offering, and vaguely felt that this was related to his future life-or-death tribulation.
