Primitive society life was quite calm, unlike during the end of the world where there was fighting and killing everywhere. Zhou Ji himself didn’t like killing, and in a situation like this, if there hadn’t been for the matter of he and Xiong Ye getting married, he would’ve simply stayed in the area to cultivate with the energy that this mysterious plant had drawn in, and wouldn’t have had any thoughts of trying to obtain the plant.

He wasn’t pursuing ultimate strength. As long as he could survive and live on, he had no need for such a rare natural treasure.

However, there was now a Xiong Ye in his life.

Xiong Ye’s strength was considered strong within the tribe, but if he went outside…

There was a Seismosaurus amongst the dinosaurs that seemed to be… Around forty to fifty meters long and weighed forty to fifty tons?

And then, if these dinosaurs ate a lot of energy-rich plants and mutated to become one size bigger, they might even reach a weight of one hundred tons?

Even if his mammoth animal form was the so-called largest mammal on land, it still paled in comparison to those dinosaurs, let alone Xiong Ye.

Of course, the particularly large dinosaurs like the Seismosaurus were all herbivores and wouldn’t hurt humans for no reason, while the carnivorous were in fact a little bit smaller.

But even if they were a little bit smaller, those carnivorous dinosaurs still had very high killing and attack power. Zhou Ji didn’t want Xiong Ye to be seriously injured by them and maybe even… lose his life.

Zhou Ji’s body automatically began to absorb the energy around him even while his spiritual powers continued to observe the situation inside the cave.

The centipedes inside the cave were all piled up together. The smaller ones prevented anyone from approaching the plant, while the larger ones stayed closer to it.

His eyebrows were pulled together in a frown, and he was trying to figure out how to obtain the plant when suddenly, he noticed a huge centipede over ten meters long coming out of the dead leaves under a giant tree nearby.

Zhou Ji’s spiritual power swept over, and he discovered that these creatures that looked very much like centipedes might actually be millipedes instead.

Millipedes were also known as the ‘worm with a thousand feet’, scientific classification diplopoda. This type of insect liked wet, dark places and tended to live in groups. They generally fed on decaying organic matter, and their bodies could curl up into a disc or spiral shape when they were frightened.

Before the apocalypse, the largest millipedes were several tens of centimeters long, and the average millipede was only a few centimeters long. Some of them secreted toxic liquids, but most of them were harmless.

These gigantic millipedes actually looked quite gentle. Their intelligence shouldn’t be very high–Zhou Ji hadn’t bothered to hide himself, but these millipedes had all ignored him.

That gigantic millipede slowly entered the pool and swam towards the crevice in the rock. Meanwhile, the millipedes that were inside the cave all came outside and made their way into the surrounding forest.

This scene would make the scalp of anyone who was watching go numb.

Before long, the millipedes that had been tangled together within the stone cave had all tunneled into the nearby leaves and dispersed completely. The huge millipede then went into the cave on its own and went to sleep next to the plant.

This stone crevice should be the huge millipede’s territory. As for the other millipedes, they must have been taking advantage of the time when this huge millipede needed to go out for food in order to obtain some dregs of energy. Now that the master of this territory had returned, they had to leave.
