The noise that Big Black made quickly woke up the people who were still asleep in the cave. They complained about the noise and why the training had started so early, and they didn't want to wake up. However, after a few sharp-eyed people noticed Big Black's unusual behavior, the others gathered around with concern.
"How come Big Black has changed so much overnight? Wheat, what happened to it?"
"Look, it has so many wounds on its body. How could this happen? We slept together. Who caused these injuries?"
"Its behavior of banging its head against the wall is suicidal. No, we must stop it from doing that!"
Li Qing reached out and blocked the person: "No."
"but!"
Li Qing said with a wry smile, "We've never encountered anything like this before. What if we make a decision on our own and end up harming Dahei?"
Li Qing felt that what Chu said made a lot of sense. He dared not touch Dahei at this time. Dahei was his good partner. What if his concern for Dahei actually harmed Dahei?
"Chu went to call Cang and Jiewu, let's see if they know anything."
Just three or four seconds after Li Qing finished speaking, Chu's anxious voice came from afar.
"Make way, make way, everyone!"
"Don't get in my way, go do what you're supposed to do. Those who are training, train; those who are hunting, hunt. I don't have time for you right now!"
Li Qing turned around.
Not only Cang and Jiewu, but Dian also arrived.
When the tribesmen saw the three men arrive, they wisely retreated to the surrounding area, leaving a path for them to pass through.
Dian arrived first, but he seemed equally puzzled by Dahei's condition: "Did it have an upset stomach yesterday?"
“No, the food we fed it yesterday was the same food we fed it,” Li Qing said. “We absolutely did not feed it anything else.”
They've been eating grilled meat on a stone slab like this for some time now.
Li Qing's implication was that if the illness was caused by food poisoning, then not only Dahei, but also everyone else in the tribe would definitely be in trouble.
Dian quickly realized that his statement was somewhat inappropriate: "That's right, if it had an upset stomach, Dahei wouldn't have undergone this change."
Just then, Cang and Jiewu arrived. Dian didn't ask Jiewu, but asked Cang, "Cang, do you know what happened?"
Cang is much more senior than Jie Wu. He was the previous shaman. At his age, he has experienced too many things. Jie Wu may not know much about things like Da Hei, but Cang might know something.
Cang paced back and forth in the cave, his tone hesitant: "...I roughly know."
"What!"
This answer surprised Dian. "What do you mean?"
Chu Ze said excitedly, "Cang, don't talk like that! What do you mean by 'I roughly know'? If you know, you know; if you don't know, you don't know. Talking like that makes people anxious. Dahei is Maizi's good partner, and if it weren't for Dahei, I would have been killed by those bastards from the Black Wind Tribe long ago. It can't be in any danger!"
Jiewu glanced at Chu: "Keep your voice down."
Chu was panting heavily, but he dared not disobey the shaman's orders, so he immediately shut his mouth.
“A long time ago, when I was still an apprentice…” Cang said, “I only had a vague impression of that incident at the time, so… I’m not entirely sure.”
"Just tell me what we should do about Big Black!" Chu shouted again.
Cang pondered for a moment.
Just then, the "energetic" big black body suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.
"Big Black!"
Li Qing cried out in surprise and threw herself onto Da Hei.
At this moment, the changes in Dahei's body were already quite astonishing. Its body was no longer the size of a dog, but almost that of an adult leopard. Its body was more robust, and its fur was no longer as smooth as before, but very rough, giving Li Qing a slightly prickly feeling when he touched it. Its head was also gradually becoming flat, and the teeth that had been exposed earlier had "retreated" back into its mouth and were no longer visible from the outside.
Li Qing checked Dahei's breathing and found that it was still steady, which relieved him. This proved that Dahei was still alive.
As long as there is breathing, there is still hope!
"How is Big Black? Is he still alive?"
Chu Wen was always so direct.
Li Qing nodded quietly: "Yes, she's still breathing."
"That's good."
Chu grinned.
He was about to turn around and say something to Cang when he met Cang's solemn expression.
Startled, Chu shuddered, gave an awkward laugh, and stepped back to make way for Cang.
Cang slowly walked towards Li Qing.
Upon seeing this, Li Qing stood up.
“Azure”.
I gave a brief greeting.
"Um."
Cang responded and looked down at Dahei, asking with concern, "Is it alright?"
Li Qing: "..."
Cang sighed, squatted down, and began to gently stroke Dahei's skin, just like Li Qing had done.
"So it's true that it has survived the most difficult time so far. It's lucky, and you're lucky too."
Cang turned his head.
That last sentence was actually said to Li Qing.
"But should we say this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Cang sighed. "Maizi, you may not believe it, but the blood of a ferocious beast flows in Dahei's body."
Blood of a ferocious beast!?
Li Qing found it hard to believe.
This answer was beyond his expectations.
His whole body froze. "Why is this happening?"
With his back to Li Qing, Cang stroked Dahei and said softly, "Dahei once fought desperately against the Black Wind Tribe for Chu and the other members of the hunting team who were still alive at the time, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Chu replied.
"Big Black must have drunk a lot of blood and killed a lot of people back then, right?"
"Blood...yes, its mouth was indeed covered in blood!" Chu recalled those now fragmented memories, "If it was about killing people, it seems it did kill a few of those Black Wind Tribe bastards who were still breathing!"
That's it.
Cangdao.
"The ferocious beast is an extremely warlike animal. Every victory or even defeat in battle can help it improve its strength. If I'm not mistaken, Big Black should be an ordinary wild animal that was born from a cross between itself and a ferocious beast. This is why it has the size of a small wild dog, but it has also suffered one killing after another, which has given it its current more powerful appearance."
Li Qing shook his head and said, "But what should we do now? I don't care if Dahei is a ferocious beast or not, it's already unconscious. Is there any way to wake it up? Any way will do!"
Cang said, "Of course there is a way. To be precise, when I said 'I roughly know' I meant how to wake up Dahei. However, I only know it, but I have never encountered such a thing before. Moreover, this method is very dangerous. On the bright side, if it succeeds, it will benefit both you and Dahei. On the dark side, if it fails, it may even endanger your lives."
