Hyun-jung anxiously looked after Sang, whose condition was very bad. Sang was unable to speak and could not recognize him; it was evident that the fine lines protruding from his subcutaneous tissue were constantly wriggling.

"How are you feeling? Is he feeling better?"

Xian: "No, the temperature fluctuates between hot and cold, and the worms haven't been expelled from my body, so it won't be contagious. Don't worry."

Randy: "I brought Yu Shan's Resurrection Water. Give it to him to drink; it will save his life."

Xian drank it during the battle for the beast city of the Yushan tribe. It was miraculous; one sip could heal all wounds.

For a while, they couldn't provide it, and everyone assumed it was no longer available, so they stopped asking, since it was quite precious.

Seeing how far Randy had gone, Xian was deeply moved. He vowed to follow Randy forever, even unto death, as long as Randy could heal Sang's wounds.

He poured water and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Chieftain. I will repay you once my brother recovers. Don't worry, we will work even harder to build up the tribe."

Randy: "No need, give him the drink."

"good"

Xian opened the healing potion, gently lifted Sang's head, and poured the water into his mouth.

After drinking the healing potion, Sang's body reacted noticeably; he had parasites inside him.

The healing potion simply couldn't work.

The healing potion treats bodily wounds; it cannot expel parasites, but this does not affect its effectiveness.

The countless tiny red spots on Sang's body quickly disappeared, and the scars on his skin caused by the parasites gradually faded.

His complexion also improved a lot.

"Very good!"

Sang regained his spirits and cheered continuously.

At that moment, he suddenly felt something strange in his chest.

"What happened?"

He opened the animal skin and looked down at his heart with suspicion, only to be horrified to find that the parasite had burrowed through his chest cavity and crawled out.

"no!"

With quick reflexes, Xian immediately reached out and covered his chest with the animal hide to prevent the infection from spreading further.

At this moment, Sang's heart was pounding violently amidst immense pain and fear, thump, thump, thump, as if it were about to burst out of his chest, and he was convulsing with pain.

Immediately afterwards, the wounds on his body began to heal rapidly at a visible rate, but the hole in his chest just wouldn't close no matter what he did.

A hole the size of a bowl was made, and all the parasites crawled out through the wound.

Numerous insects, their bodies a dark reddish-brown mixture of blood and swarming across his chest, seemed to have found a nest, scrambling to burrow into other areas.

"ah--"

Sang screamed in agony.

Pain, itching, pain... all sorts of indescribable irritation spread from the wound to his whole body, and Sang almost collapsed, wishing she could just die.

Despite his fear, Xian held onto the animal hide tightly, sealing the wound.

Sang's eyes were red and swollen, tears streaming down his face; he wanted to die.

"Sang, are you alright?"

Xian didn't care about the risk of infection himself; he only wanted to save Sang.

Sang could not bear the pain of the insects biting under his skin. He gasped for breath, a hoarse groan coming from his throat. He could not speak, and tears kept rolling down his face.

"Sang, don't be afraid, don't worry... it will be over soon..."

Xian comforted her.

But this time, Sang did not listen to his comforting words.

His body was trembling, and despair and anger were evident in the corners of his eyes.

Why? Why is the Beast God treating me like this?

Randy, seeing that things were not going well, quickly pulled Xian away, because if he were caught in the crossfire, he would also die.

"Ooh~"

Sang howled in agony, his body writhing violently and convulsing on the animal hide.

"No, don't leave me, please..."

Sang cried out, his voice distorted with pain, and he pounded his chest with his hands, trying to force the parasites out.

However, the parasites seemed to sense this and retreated, hiding away.

"mulberry!"

Xian was heartbroken to see this.

He looked at Randy beside him and said

What should we do?

Randy was at his wit's end and said:

"We can only wait to die."

Xian sighed.

All of this happened so fast that he didn't even have time to react before Sang was attacked. Although he knew that Sang's condition was very bad, he did not expect it to be this serious.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"

Sang screamed in agony, his body riddled with bloody holes, worms ravaging his body, his torn skin...

Fresh blood kept seeping out, soaking the white animal hide into a blood-red color, a shocking sight.

His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and finally, his eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he stopped breathing.

He died

Randy froze on the spot, now fully understanding the terror of parasites.

"mulberry!"

Xian let out a mournful cry, and Randy grabbed him and pulled him back out of the cave, immediately making him pull out the flint from his pocket.

Gather dry firewood and flammable plants in the shortest amount of time, throw them inside, and cover the mulberry plant.

Light the firewood in the cave.

The firelight illuminated the cave, San's body, and Randy's face.

At that moment, Randy saw a very strange scene.

Sang lay on the ground, a huge hole in her chest cavity. The insects inside had long since vanished; where had they gone? Perhaps they had escaped?

Lan was horrified.

"mulberry……"

Randy swallowed.

Xian was overwhelmed with grief and at a loss. He squatted down next to Randy, holding his head and not daring to look at the firelight in the cave. Two lines of tears streamed down his face and dripped onto the ground.

After a long while, he wiped away his tears and stood up.

Randy then noticed that Xian had a wound on his arm, and the wound was oozing pus and blood. The area around the wound was swollen and rotting, which was disgusting.

"you also…"

Randy was flustered, breathing rapidly. Everything was already decided; he didn't want to put Randy in a difficult position, so he said...

"It's okay, I'll leave the tribe and go far away on my own..."

"Don't push yourself; this wound needs treatment. You need a veterinarian."

Randy looked at Xian seriously and said in a firm tone.

"Otherwise, you won't live much longer."

Xian glanced at Randy, remained silent for a long time, and then said with difficulty.

"Thanks"

Randy took out a sharp bone knife and cut open Xian's arm, releasing a thick, foul-smelling black sap. He then shaved off a piece of rotting flesh, tore off the animal hide, and wrapped it around Xian's arm.

"Don't go back to Beast City for now. Find a cave to stay in, and I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Xian was extremely grateful. He didn't care whether Randy had retrieved the heart or not; he only cared that Randy genuinely wanted to help him and his brother, even though it still couldn't save Sang's life.

Having raised Sang from childhood to this age, this is how it all ended. Xian couldn't accept it, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"If Sang grows up a bit more, he might have already found a mate. He's been very close to a female in the tribe. Once he reaches adulthood and his astral rings are higher, he won't be all alone like me."

Randy didn't know how to comfort her.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. The Beast God will accept him, and he'll live a better life on the distant other side than on the mainland."
