After dealing with all this, Meng Yuqing disinfected the knife again with fire and put everything away.
Only then did he realize that Jian was still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up. He scratched his head and asked the system.
"Did I handle it so quickly? Maybe I didn't do it properly?"
"I fed him some black thorn grass midway through." After a pause, the system continued, "It was a huge pile. Jian won't be able to have dinner today."
Xuan looked at him and suddenly became dazed, and immediately realized that Meng Yuqing was talking to the system again.
He reached out and patted Meng Yuqing on the shoulder, "Let's take a break now that we're done."
Meng Yuqing came back to his senses and stopped harassing the system. He stood up and looked at Xi, who was looking expectant, and said, "The wound has been treated. We'll open it and take a look in a couple of days. If it starts to heal, it means there's no problem."
Seeing Xi glance at the unconscious Jian, hesitant to speak, Meng Yuqing added, "I'm worried he'll wake up midway and feel pain, so I gave him a bit more medicine the second time. He'll wake up by tomorrow morning at the latest. With the orcs' ability to recover, he shouldn't be in much pain by then."
Xi finally felt relieved. He stood up and bowed to Meng Yuqing, and was speechless for a long time.
Meng Yuqing moved his fingers but did not dodge.
Xi arranged them in a relatively quiet place. Meng Yuqing saw the animal skin spread on the soft grass and pounced on it.
Lying on the animal hide, he suppressed the urge to roll around and sat up.
Xuan did not follow him but asked Meng Yuqing for the only remaining Shengfu grass and went to find the rhinoceros. The two seemed to be discussing something. Now only Xun and Lian followed him closely.
He propped up his face and looked at the figures of Xi and Xuan in the distance, yawned, and didn't know how Xuan was going to turn... No,... He was going to persuade Xi to take the Shijiao tribe to the Qingshan tribe to live a good life.
He took his eyes off Xuan and Xi and looked at the orcs resting near Jian.
The area where Jian is located is a resting place for injured orcs.
He took a quick look and noticed that many people in the Stonehorn tribe had broken bones. "Why do so many people in the Stonehorn tribe have broken bones? They live on the grassland, so it shouldn't be like this."
The chain turned into an animal form and nestled in the haystack, combing its feathers. It also picked up a brightly colored flower from the side and inserted it into its feathers to admire it.
Hearing Meng Yuqing's question, he stopped what he was doing and said with some melancholy, "The situation was originally fine. When I realized something was wrong and went to find the Rhino Chief, he and several orcs from the Stonehorn Tribe were not feeling well and were discussing what was going on.
As soon as I told them about it, they decided to leave the tribe and go to a more open area. But not long before the earthquake, a group of medium-sized wild animals came, over 200 of them. We were just planning how to drive them away when the earthquake struck.
At this point, Lian pecked at the grass a few times angrily, "Those medium-sized beasts were frightened and ran around everywhere. Not only did they run around, but many of them even rushed into the crowd and bumped into many people.
Not only did they fall into the pit themselves, but they also caused some orcs to fall into the cracks.
Some orcs could have survived the earthquake, but they were bumped into by the deer orcs and the ground shook violently, causing them to fall down. Some deer orcs even broke their legs that way.
Many sub-beasts also fell off the orcs' backs for this reason. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and picked up several of them, otherwise they would have been trampled to death by the beasts. Some orcs broke their legs trying to protect these fallen sub-beasts."
Hiss~ What a sin! After hearing Lian's story, Meng Yuqing sighed and couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart that the Qingshan tribe did not encounter the herd of beasts. Even if there were wild beasts nearby during the earthquake, they did not rush into the crowd. Otherwise, they would probably not be much better off than the Shijiao tribe.
"How did the Stonehorn tribe survive the recent period with so many injured orcs?" Meng Yuqing looked Lian up and down. His condition was much better than Fei's. He had also seen his appearance when he turned into a human form before. He didn't look thin from hunger.
It seems that the food is pretty good.
"Some of those beasts fell into the cracks and died, and some were injured and fractured. After the earthquake ended, the healthy orcs of the Stonehorn Tribe were very angry and caught them all. They picked up those that fell underground and also picked up the orcs that fell into the cracks. It's a good thing they went down to pick them up, otherwise they wouldn't have discovered that they were still alive."
Lian raised his wings and pointed at a few orcs and said, "Those are the ones with the most serious injuries."
Meng Yuqing looked in the direction the chain wings were pointing and found that one of the orcs had all three legs broken.
He was lying on the ground, looking at the sky with a dead heart.
An orc with one leg broken can still retain most of his combat effectiveness, but one with both legs broken can basically only retire in the tribe.
Not to mention the one with three broken legs. For the orc, he felt that he might as well die. He had completely lost his hunting ability and most of his self-care abilities. He could only rely on the tribe for support, and they might even have to send someone to take care of him.
This is unacceptable to any orc who grew up normally in a tribe.
Looking at the miserable condition of those people, Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Baicang beast came to his door, allowing him to find a way to cultivate bone-correcting grass. Otherwise, after several tribes lived together, people who wanted to treat their fractures would have to wait in line for several years.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xuan's back again, wondering if he should tell Xuan to be nicer to Baicang Beast in the future and not scare it for no reason.
Judging from Baicang Beast's recent performance, he felt that this beast's courage might be only slightly greater than the tip of a needle.
If it gets scared away, it will be more trouble than gain. According to the system, this kind of beast is very rare. If this one runs away, we don’t know if we can meet a second one.
But after all, it is a high-level beast certified by the system. Xuan also said that the actual combat power of Baicang Beast is stronger than that of Shadow Beast, so we still have to keep an eye on it.
