Chapter 6 The Wounded Wolf Cub

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan nervously gripped the fur on the leopard beastman's neck. Noticing her tension, Leopard Jiu slowed down to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, he can't hurt you."

He roared towards the bushes, and soon a gray wolf darted out from behind them. It was smaller than Leopard Jiu, and it stared warily at the burly Leopard Jiu. After hesitating for a moment, it tucked its tail between its legs and ran away.

Leopard roared in the direction the wolf had disappeared, then turned back and smiled at Yuanyuan, "It's alright, it was afraid of me."

Yuanyuan stared at the spot where the wolf had disappeared, lost in thought. She thought she had just heard a strange sound, as if the wolf was calling for their help.

"Uncle Leopard, can we chase after it? That wolf seems to be asking us for help."

"?" Leopard was puzzled. Although he was a beastman, he could not understand the language of pure wild beasts.

But we should listen to the little female and follow the wolf's scent.

Soon they spotted the wolf in front of a deep pit. It was pacing back and forth in front of the pit, howling down every now and then. Upon closer listening, they heard a faint response from below.

Yuanyuan jumped off the leopard beastman's back and was about to walk towards the wolf.

Leopard was startled by her action and quickly transformed into human form to pull her back. "Yuanyuan, don't go over there, it's dangerous."

Hearing the sound, the wolf turned around and howled at them, as if trying to scare them away.

Yuanyuan was startled, and after a while, she spoke to it, "You need our help, right?"

The big wolf howled at her a few times, then nodded, as if afraid she wouldn't understand.

The system told her that the wolf cub had fallen into a trap with sharp wooden stakes, and that it would soon bleed to death.

Yuanyuan thought of the husky her family used to have, which looked a lot like the wolf in front of her.

"You mean, your baby fell and got hurt?" Yuanyuan asked again.

The wolf nodded as if it understood her words.

Leopard was amazed by their seamless communication. Wolf meat was not tasty, and wolves were extremely united and vengeful creatures. They only hunted when there was nothing else to eat during the cold season.

"Uncle Leopard, could you help me go down and save the wolf cub? He's badly injured and won't survive if we don't save him soon."

“This…” Leopard hesitated for a long time. If he went down there, there would be no one to protect the little female. What if the wolf hurt the little female while he was away?

"Uncle Leopard, don't worry, it won't hurt me."

Leopard couldn't rest easy. If something happened to the little female in his care, he would become a sinner to the tribe.

The wolf suddenly knelt down in front of them, signifying its submission.

It could feel its cub's breath growing weaker and weaker, and it whimpered sadly!

"Uncle Leopard, it said that if you help it save its cub, it will hunt to repay you in the future."

In the end, Leopard climbed down to save the wolf.

Yuanyuan peered into the hole. It was a large and deep hole, and she could vaguely see a cub stained with blood. Such a severe injury, if the bleeding wasn't stopped quickly, would likely...

Leopard Jiu quickly brought up a wolf cub with a wooden stick stuck in its body. Yuan Yuan blinked, looked at the gray wolf and then at the white wolf cub stained with blood, and was stunned for a moment.

She was brought back to her senses by the sound of sobbing, and seeing the gray wolf with wet eyes, she felt sad too.

"Yuanyuan, its injury is beyond saving."

Even a witch doctor couldn't help with such a serious injury.

Yuanyuan mentally asked the system how to save it.

The system didn't hide anything and told her the emergency plan.

"Uncle Leopard, I have a way you can try."

Leopard stared at her in shock. Even their witch doctor couldn't save her, yet she had a way?

Yuanyuan walked up to her. "I can only try. There's no guarantee I can cure it. Are you willing?"

The gray wolf nodded and stepped aside.

"Uncle Leopard, could you help me pull the wooden strips off the wolf cub?"

Although Bao Jiu didn't know anything about medicine, in the past, when members of the tribe were injured, they would directly pull out the wound, but the bleeding couldn't be stopped and they eventually died.

He thought that it would be better to just bury them directly, so they would suffer less.

Seeing her serious expression, I couldn't bring myself to say what was on the tip of my tongue.

At this point, the wolf cub was barely breathing.

Leopard Jiu swiftly pulled out the wooden strip, and with a howl, the wolf cub immediately fainted.

The gray wolf let out a mournful howl.

The leopard couldn't bear it and turned its head away.

Yuanyuan spat the chewed hemostatic herbs onto her wound, and a miraculous scene unfolded.

The wound, which was still bleeding profusely, gradually stopped bleeding.

Leopard Jiu stared in shock, his mouth agape.

The forestry bureau staff, who were staring at the screen, were equally shocked, their mouths agape. For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent.

It took Gu Zheng a full half minute to come to his senses, and his originally calm eyes were slowly filled with fervor.

"What kind of magical herb is this?"

"This hemostatic effect is amazing!"

I can't even imagine how much of a breakthrough their medical field would make if they could bring back just a few of these.

"Quickly take a screenshot and save it, no, archive this scene and send it to those people at the medical facility."

"Where's the recorder? Quickly write this down, don't miss a single detail."

The conference room was filled not only with plant researchers, but also with many animal research experts, and even retired archaeological experts.

Their eyes were fixed on the dying white wolf cub on the projection screen, they whispered a few words every now and then, and searched through the ancient books and documents.

"This...this is...a North American white wolf cub!" An archaeological expert was so excited he almost fainted.

"Old Mu, are you saying that wolf cub is the North American white wolf, which went extinct a hundred years ago?"

"It must be! Quick, quickly record its physical characteristics and all the details." When Yuanyuan comes back, we must coax her to bring one back for them to study.

The white wolf, which had disappeared for a century, has reappeared in their Great Xia Kingdom. Those people in North America will surely be so angry they'll vomit blood.

......

Yuanyuan looked at the gray wolf as it walked away, feeling a little helpless. Had it really just left its cubs with her so easily?

She herself is still a baby who needs to be fed!

"It's getting late, shall we go back and have dinner?" Leopard Jiu now looked at her with more adoration than he did at a witch doctor.

Yuanyuan looked at the still-sleeping wolf cub in her arms and nodded.

I'll look for herbs tomorrow!

The two returned to the tribe after lunchtime. They had just entered the cave when the shaman and the chief arrived.

"Did Yuanzai encounter any danger when she went out today?"

Yuanyuan shook her head. "Grandma witch doctor, come and take a look at the wolf cub's injuries."

The shaman and the chief showed no surprise when they saw the wolf cubs on the stone bed; they had known about it as soon as they entered the tribe.

They didn't show any displeasure at her bringing back a wild animal cub; it was just a wolf cub that had only been born a short time ago, and they could afford to raise it.

The witch doctor examined it carefully and became increasingly shocked.

Such a huge gushing bleeding has actually stopped!!!

"Yuanzai, can you tell me what medicine you gave it?"

Yuanyuan, who had already found them on their turf, didn't hide anything, saying, "Sure, I'll take you there tomorrow."

She had already given the wolf cubs some of the ones in her space, and she wanted to dig up a few more to take back to her handsome uncle tomorrow.

The witch doctor and the chief exchanged a glance, surprised that she was so easy to talk to.

"The wolf cub is fine now. We'll feed it after it wakes up and take it with care."

Yuanyuan nodded. The witch doctor and the others didn't stay long. After the tiger-beastman brought in meat soup and told her to eat well, they left.
