Chapter 31 Admirable Females
As the time grew later, at 7 p.m., the sun was still shining brightly.
Ye Luoxing stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at the polar day in the north. After she put Feng He down, she observed at the entrance for a long time. During this time, orcs kept going back and forth between the witch doctor and the leader's cave. The leader and many tribesmen also rushed to the witch doctor's cave from time to time to check. Howling sounds were heard from the witch doctor's cave from time to time. It seemed that those injured beasts had reached their limit...
"The time has come." After finally determining the time, Ye Luoxing ejected the string and leaped towards the leader's cave.
"Be careful. This afternoon, a group of orcs emerged from Lingdong's cave in a strange way, and then Siti caught up with them. A strange scene happened. I think it has something to do with you." Yueshang reminded her worriedly.
Ye Luoxing actually felt it too. She saw that scene in the afternoon, although she didn’t know what happened specifically.
Soon, she arrived at the leader's cave. As soon as she stepped in, she saw Lingdong walking around in the cave anxiously. She noticed her arrival, and she and her dozen or so companions all looked at her.
When she saw Ye Luoxing's face, she was stunned for a moment and concealed some of the anxiety on her face.
She looked at her and asked, "Female Ye Luoxing, what do you want?"
Ye Luoxing nodded: "I do have something to say, can I talk to you alone?"
After hearing her words, Ling Dong sniffed the air and looked outside the cave. She found that she came alone. After being surprised for a moment, she said to her companions, "Go to the witch doctor for help."
The dozen or so male beasts nodded and left without saying anything more.
They passed Ye Luoxing by each other, and when they were the only two left in the cave, Ye Luoxing walked towards Lingdong.
"How did you get up here?" Ling Dong was a little confused.
"I have my own way," Ye Luoxing stopped one meter in front of her, "Chief, I can save those male beasts!"
Her sudden serious words shocked Lingdong again. She naturally knew which male beasts she was talking about.
She sighed and said, "New female, thank you for your kindness. You don't have to worry about this matter! They... Well, don't worry, I have already told everyone. You can stay in the tribe with peace of mind in the future. No orcs will embarrass you!"
Ling Dong naturally didn't believe Ye Luoxing's words. After all, only witch doctors could treat illnesses, and in this world, witch doctors were even more scarce than females. So she just thought that Ye Luoxing wanted to help because she was afraid that everyone would embarrass her because of what happened during the day. But she would not let the tribe embarrass a female...
Ye Luoxing understood her doubts, and she continued: "Their wounds have started to swell or rot, right? And pus is flowing out at the same time, their bodies have started to have high fevers, and the witch doctor can no longer treat them..."
Ling Dong asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
After she was surprised, she seemed to have misunderstood something, and said with sympathy: "I guess you must have seen a lot of this kind of situation on the way to the Northland by the Yan Beast. You are right, they are indeed beyond help. Even Bunid can't help them, and there is no witch doctor in the Northland who can save them..."
Bunid is the orc with the best medical skills in the North. Even the orcs from the neighboring tribes would ask him to treat their injuries and would use precious things such as prey in exchange for the medical treatment.
Ye Luoxing said again: "Since I can tell you their symptoms, it's not just talk. I can really save them, if you believe me! But, it can't be delayed for too long..."
Seeing Ye Luoxing's persistence and her bright black eyes so determined, Lingdong was actually a little shaken.
Ye Luoxing said again: "But before that, can I ask you a question?"
Ling Dong was puzzled: "What's the problem?"
Ye Luoxing asked sincerely: "What is a star rank?"
Ling Dong was stunned when he heard her words: "..."
Then, Lingdong observed her for as long as the cave was quiet.
Finally, Ling Dong sighed helplessly, perhaps because he felt that Ye Luoxing had been protected too well by the previous tribe.
Ling Dong asked tentatively: "Do you know about the 'mutated beast'?"
Ye Luoxing shook his head. Mutated beasts? Are there such things in the primitive world?
But they even have magic here, as well as the legendary orcs, so it’s not surprising to see some mutated wild beasts.
When Lingdong saw her shaking her head, his brows furrowed even deeper. He had no idea where she had lived before.
But now that she is in the Snow Owl Tribe, Lingdong, as the leader, feels it is necessary to explain everything to her.
Then, Ling Dong's deep voice rang out in the empty cave: "Thousands of years ago, both male and female beasts had the ability of the Star Level. The Star Level could enhance the strength of the beastmen and capture more prey. But from one day on, the beasts in the forest mutated. As long as the beastmen preyed on them, they would be poisoned and die. There was no cure."
"This mutation started from a small area and gradually spread to all continents. Even the oceans were not spared. Eventually, even the food for herbivores gradually decreased. Everywhere was filled with this 'poison'. Without food, the beastmen would face extinction. At that time, all continents were filled with blood, and the beastmen killed each other to fill their stomachs."
Lingdong recounted those long-ago tragic memories, and even his expression became sad.
Listening to her story, Ye Luoxing couldn't help but think of the end of the world she had experienced, the cannibalism among humans among the zombies, and the betrayal and friendship among her companions. She had personally experienced that bloody and dark era, so naturally she could understand the despair better than Lingdong. She listened to her quietly.
Ling Dong's voice was old but powerful: "When the number of orcs gradually decreased, all orcs understood that they would eventually disappear from this world. This was the punishment given to the orcs by the sacred Mother Goddess of Nature. Because of the orcs' excessive hunting, it was difficult for wild beasts to survive in this world, so the orcs would eventually become extinct..."
"At this time, the high priests with divine powers gathered together to plead guilty to the Mother Goddess on behalf of the beastmen. Their deaths brought new life to the beastmen. From then on, the female beastmen had new star-level abilities. They could use their new abilities to purify poisonous beasts and plants. As their star-level increased, their purification abilities would become stronger."
When Ye Luoxing heard this, she seemed to have understood something. Her guess was indeed correct.
Ling Dong walked towards her: "But if they choose this ability, they will lose their previous star-level abilities, their own strength will be rapidly weakened, and those toxins will enter their bodies in small amounts, affecting their appearance and making them uglier and uglier..."
"But they still chose to rescue all the orcs?" Ye Luoxing asked.
Ling Dong stopped in front of her and nodded: "They are willing to sacrifice themselves to save their companions, so the Mother Goddess also gave them rewards. From then on, all female beasts were blessed by the Mother Goddess. As long as a male beast is paired with a female beast, he must never betray his female beast partner, otherwise he will die, and when the female dies, her partner will die as well..."
