Chapter 5

This was a vast lake, almost a few hundred thousand uninterrupted miles, splitting the forest into two.

The clear lake water reflected the blue sky, the breeze passing through, underneath was layer upon layer of rippling fish scales, it looked very beautiful. Many beasts rested by the lakeside to drink some water, their ears erect, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

It was in the interior of the forest, a paradise for beasts, and a forbidden area for beastkin. But in the bushes not far away, a female beastman lurked silently. He was covered in light green smears, the scent of strong plant juice covering up his body odor. As long as he was in danger, he could just hide in the dense bushes, so even if the beast was close by, it wouldn’t find him. It was by depending on the juice of this plant that he could pretend to be a walking tree, safely traveling through the forest to the lake.

“After waiting for half a month, I finally got some results. I didn’t suffer for nothing.” The female beastman plucked red grain-like wild fruit, filling two big sacks while salivating. He bent backwards and leaned back into the bushes, ready to sneak back to the tribe.

But at that moment, a “rumbling” sound came from afar, like a thunder clap, but the vibrations of the planet’s surface indicated that this was some kind of large beast, such as the long trunk elephant, a descendant of the mammoth. The long trunk elephant was not as hairy as a mammoth, but it was much bigger. When walking through the forest, it looked like a moving mountain. Their seven or eight-meter-long trunks could pull up huge trees, and place them in their mouths to swallow them whole. Although they were herbivorous animals, they were far more violent than carnivorous beasts.

If a long trunk elephant was passing through somewhere, often times it would raze that area to the ground. The female, that was, Xiao Anchun, immediately looked frightened and refused to hide in the bushes, escaping like the other beasts.

The lord at the top of the food chain was coming, so the small fish and shrimp on the lower rung of the food chain would naturally not kill each other, choosing to escape with their lives.

Xiao Anchun looked back while running, curiosity taking hold. But as soon as he saw it, he almost lost his soul in fright, “Ahhhhhh,” he shouted: “WTF, what the hell is this, why are there dinosaurs? Didn’t this thing already go extinct?” His voice just faded when he remembered that he was no longer in the Empire, but on a magical beastman planet, it felt like it was not strange to have dinosaurs on a beastman planet.

“The tribe never told me about dinosaurs! If I knew, I wouldn’t come out alone even if you f#cking beat me to death. I’m doomed, it’s over!” He ran madly, tears and mucus splattering in the wind.

A few kilometers behind him, a single, more than ten-meter-high tyrannosaurus rex was smashing through the giant trees and chasing the rushing herd of beasts. It seemed to be hungry, its ferocious looking mouth was constantly dripping revolting, fishy smelling saliva, and the sharp teeth glinted like knives in the sunlight. Its golden pupils were full of a violent, fierce light, glaring at the herd and trying to pick a good prey. However, before that, it didn’t mind eating the slowest of these preys to pad its stomach.

Unfortunately, compared to a group of antelopes, wild deer, and saber-toothed tigers, the two legs of the beastmen, especially this female that had especially short legs, were undoubtedly the slowest. Even if he used all his strength, he gradually fell to the back of the escaping herd. He even stumbled over vines from time to time. In just a few minutes, he was already bloodied and bruised, and his whole body ached. He looked very miserable.

The tyrannosaurus’s sense of smell was very sensitive. Even if it was mixed with the green juice, it still smelled the blood of a female beastman, distinct from the other beasts. It apparently smelled sweeter and more delicious. There was more and more saliva dripping from its mouth, and its eyes zeroed in on the back of the fleeing female, stretching his neck and opening his mouth, trying to scoop him into his mouth.

Using an unknown strength, Xiao Anchun let out a burst of speed, avoiding the attack with an extraordinary swiftness, running madly and screaming, “Help!” Even the beastman language seemed to be forgotten, directly using the Empire’s language, shouting over and over.

Zhou Yun Sheng and Zhao Xuan had sharp senses, they heard the tyrannosaurus rex’s roar from thousands of miles away, and as they were closing in, they heard a familiar language that shouldn’t appear here. They both revealed surprised expressions.

“Go save them. Unexpectedly meeting a beastman on this beastman planet that knows the Empire’s language, this should be interesting.” Zhou Yun Sheng patted the stupid lion’s giant head.

Zhao Xuan listened to his lover’s words and immediately ran in the direction of the voice, leaving behind a golden afterimage.

Xiao Anchun screamed until his throat was raw, tears and snot painted his face but he couldn’t wipe them away. In the end, because of his blurry vision, he fell down and looked up in despair at the sharp-toothed mouth of the tyrannosaurus rex closing in on him. When the sharp teeth neared his scalp, the tyrannosaurus suddenly wailed and was slammed into the side of a giant tree.

Xiao Anchun stared in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes red, and finally determined that everything in front of him was not an illusion born of fear. A golden lion with a body length of less than four meters actually slapped away a tyrannosaurus rex with a height of ten meters and a weight of ten tons. Even worse, it also ran over to domineeringly stomp down on the opponent.

“F#ck me! The creatures on this planet can’t be judged by common sense!” He swore with the Empire’s authentic dialect.

Zhou Yun Sheng, who was going over to help him up, was in front of his tears and snot stained face when he once again heard this language. He silently stepped back and asked caringly: “Are you okay? Are you injured?”

“Ah, male god?” Xiao Anchun finally noticed the handsome man who’d quietly come to his side and quickly climbed up, rubbed his face with his hands and said: “I’m fine. It’s really the male god’s lion huh. No wonder it looks so familiar.” Realizing that he was talking in the Empire’s language, he immediately repeated this in the beast language, explaining that it was his hometown’s dialect.

“Where’s your hometown? Aren’t you from that tribe?” Zhou Yun Sheng probed.

The more Xiao Anchun wiped his face, the more the tears, snot and grass juice mixed together, leaving deep green smudges. It looked very funny, but he didn’t seem to notice, ambiguously saying: “My hometown is very, very far away. I also got separated from my community like you, and I was rescued by the warriors of the Bayan tribe. Because I’m an unmarried female, the tribe took me in and cared for me without hesitation.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Anchun showed a gloomy expression. At that time, he thought that he’d finally found other humans, but once he saw the tribe leader transform into an ash-gray wolf, he almost pissed himself. Only then did he know that he hadn’t isekai’d into an ancient earth, but to another time and space.

Even crazier, there were no women here, only men who couldn’t transform, called females.

He’d changed sex.

Because females were very rare, one female could have many males at the same time. Although he was short, and was not as beautiful as the natives, he was very popular among the tribe’s males, even the old shaman’s son couldn’t compare.

For this reason, he was always pushed aside by the shaman and son duo, and his popularity among the females was very poor. Every time they went out to pick wild fruits, he would always be shunned and left behind by everyone.

Thinking of this, he cast a quick glance at Zhou Yun Sheng. It was no wonder the shaman and his son didn’t try to persuade the male god to stay. Looking at this male god’s face and figure, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to build a harem out of the tribe’s males.

“What are you looking at?” Zhou Yun Sheng asked uninterestedly.

Xiao Anchun immediately recovered his gaze, which had strayed towards the male god’s perky butt and slender legs.

“How long have you been in the Bayan tribe?” Zhou Yun Sheng continued to probe.

“It’s been two years.” Xiao Anchun counted on his fingers.

Without a calendar, he rarely kept track and could only estimate the approximate time. In the first year, he’d stayed hidden in the tribe, pitying himself. In the second year, he’d accepted the fact that he couldn’t go back, and started thinking about trying to improve his livelihood.

Zhou Yun Sheng nodded and no longer inquired. He now had a ninety percent grasp of the situation. This man was from the Empire. Looking at his small stature, he was probably like them, and came here through the space-time vortex formed by the black hole explosion.

While the male god didn’t speak, he looked very aloof, and his side profile was especially beautiful. Like a flawless sculpture, not only was his body perfect, every muscle line seemed to be fabricated by God. Xiao Anchun was just an ordinary person, in the face of this extraordinary male god, he felt a little intimidated, and he was unable to fill the silence.

Zhou Yun Sheng crossed his arms and settled down, staring at the two beasts fighting in the distance.

There was no doubt that the tyrannosaurus rex was at the top of the beastman planet’s food chain. They usually lived on the flat west continent, rarely crossing the desert and ocean to come to the mountains and the forests that covered the east continent. The western continent was a paradise for dinosaurs, the eastern continent was the territory of the beastkin. It was difficult to cross through the thousands of miles that separated them.

However, there were always a few dinosaurs who inadvertently broke into the east, especially the fierce tyrannosaurus rex.

They had no natural enemies on this planet, so they went wherever they wanted to go, complete freedom. If a tyrannosaurus rex came to the east, it was no less than an Armageddon-like disaster.

But that was once, not now.

Zhao Xuan’s savagery was far above the tyrannosaurus rex’s, especially standing next to his lover. In order to show off his gallant side, he absolutely couldn’t make this little lizard show him up. The little lizard was much tougher than the giant bear. He was very satisfied with this. He patiently clawed at it, using various flashy hunting maneuvers.

He sometimes jumped onto the back of the lizard, biting off a piece of flesh; sometimes he darted between its legs and swept it off its feet with his tail. When the little lizard crashed into the ground, he jumped onto its belly and took an elegant stroll, opening his mouth to let out a deafening roar.

The tyrannosaurus wanted to roll over and climb up, but the lion lifted his claws and gently pressed down, slamming it back into the ground. Its back was deeply embedded in the earth, and it could only howl and twist its neck. The beast’s golden pupils turned bloodshot, filled with violent killing intent.

The tyrannosaurus rex was an ancient beast. It survived the changing of times with its powerful body and never evolved into a humanoid form. They had small brains and only knew two things: killing and breeding. Therefore, Zhao Xuan didn’t need to show mercy. He shook his thick mane and looked at his lover. Seeing him looking at him, his lover smiled and mouthed “You’re so strong”, so Zhao Xuan simply bit off the tyrannosaurus rex’s neck and puffed his chest, proudly walking over to his lover to gently rub his cheeks with a furry head.

“S-so cool.” Xiao Anchun stammered. Seeing the big lion‘s mouth still dripping blood, he quickly stepped back, his expression frightened, but his eyes still reverential.

“Throwback beasts can’t use red crystals to advance, so their strength usually remains stagnant, but you, your…” Xiao Anchun didn’t know what to call the big lion.

“My mate.” Zhou Yun Sheng kindly reminded him, at the same time pondering the words “red crystals”. Initial analysis, it seemed to be an absorbable energy crystal, specifically used to temper the bodies of male beastkin. The information he’d collected didn’t mention anything like this, the wheel of history was really rolling forward.

“Your mate is very… special. He’s very strong and… strong. He’s the most powerful creature I’ve ever seen.” Xiao Anchun rambled incoherently, trying to express his shock. He could even kill a tyrannosaurus without getting injured, the big lion could stand proud over all the beasts on this planet.

“But he’s a throwback beast, if he devolves, it’ll be a disaster. No one would be able to subdue him.” Xiao Anchun worriedly reminded them.

“He won’t lose his mind.” Zhou Yun Sheng waved his hand dismissively, then pointed from the tyrannosaurus rex to Zhao Xuan. “We’ll eat some dragon meat tonight, you clean up.”

Zhao Xuan didn’t move, letting out a whining noise instead.

Zhou Yun Sheng smiled and walked over to print a kiss on the lion’s nose, and scratch under his chin. Zhao Xuan wanted to return the kiss, but realized that his mouth was covered with blood. Afraid of dirtying his lover’s pearl white skin, he had no choice but to wag his tail and walk toward the dead tyrannosaurus rex.

Xiao Anchun often saw male and females get together, but intentions were always for potential mating, so there was always a sensual atmosphere involved. Unlike this pair of man and beast, where every move and every smile were steeped in warmth and tenderness, this feeling was very beautiful, he unconsciously stared.

But very quickly, the warm atmosphere was replaced by the bloody scene of the lion dismembering the dinosaur. Xiao Anchun didn’t want to lose face in front of the male god, so he stood up on soft legs, then quietly retreated until he leaned against a tree and let out a long breath.

The male god’s partner was terrifying. Biting off the forefoot of the tyrannosaurus rex, meticulously removing each part. Even the tyrannosaurus rex’s steel hard belly was easily disemboweled, blood and internal organs flowed to the ground, the thick smell of blood quickly permeating the air.

Xiao Anchun covered his mouth, restraining the desire to vomit. He and the other female beastkin regularly took care of the prey the males brought back, but he’d never seen such a terrible scene like the one before him. What was blood flowing like a river? What was a mountain of corpses? He finally understood it.

“Male god, won’t such a strong bloody smell lead over the rest of the beasts? Let’s go, it’s not safe here.” He said nervously.

“Don’t worry, with Xuan here, the other beasts will be too afraid to come over.” Zhou Yun Sheng waved his hand calmly.

“And my name is Sheng, not male god.”

Xiao Anchun nodded and turned away, not daring to look again. This pair was way too fierce, he couldn’t handle it.

Zhao Xuan marked everywhere he walked. The large area from the cave to the lake, it was already his territory. The beasts nearby were starving, but they didn’t dare steal from his mouth. They only stood in the distance and anxiously looked on.

That’s dragon meat. The unattainable dragon meat, it smells so good.

“We’ll take away the most tender pieces of meat and leave the rest for them. Anyway, with you here, we won’t ever go hungry.” Zhou Yun Sheng walked over the pool of blood and gently stroked the lion’s back.

Zhao Xuan let out a comfortable growl, his heart joyful because of his lover’s words of trust. He tore off the most tender pieces of meat from the tyrannosaurus rex and kept it in his mouth, then hooked his lover’s slender waist with his tail, intending to carry him back.

“Bring him too.” Zhou Yun Sheng wished to get more information from Xiao Anchun.

He’s lived in the Bayan tribe for two years. He should’ve heard about any cosmic events from the tribe. Even if he hasn’t heard anything, he could still be used to scout out information.

Xiao Anchun, who thought that he would be left behind, was overjoyed. Quickly walking over two steps, stopping short of the pool of blood, he gave the man and beast a pleading smile.

Zhao Xuan snorted, which was considered an agreement. The golden lion walked into the forest with his lover on his back, a small female stumbling behind him. Wherever he went, the beasts retreated and the birds vanished.

Soon after they left, numerous beasts rushed over to the tyrannosaurus rex’s corpse and began eating happily. They didn’t dare fight over the food, afraid of making too much trouble and attracting the Beast King’s attention. The scene was unprecedentedly harmonious.
