Back in the chaotic tribe, Li Qing asked Dahei to try to sense where a large group of people were gathered so that a group could be sent out of the tribe first. Dahei did not disappoint Li Qing; it quickly found a location and ran towards it.
In front of an open space, Li Qing found five people, including Su and Yun. Since the chaos began, they had not scattered and had stayed together, trying to find a way out while waiting for rescue.
Seeing that they were unharmed, Li Qing excitedly waved to them, signaling them to hurry up and climb up.
After helping Yun onto Dahei, Li Qing explained his and Dian's plans to them, and then asked, "Have you seen anyone else?"
Carbohydrate stood below and shook his head, saying, "I only saw a few people from the Black Wind Tribe who seemed to be running away, but we didn't see any of our tribe members. The visibility here is too poor."
Li Qing nodded. After the last person mounted Dahei, calculating that there should still be some time, Li Qing continued to have Dahei search for other members of the Red Flower Tribe who were scattered around. He planned to find another group before leaving the tribe and meeting up with Dian.
What worries Li Qing is that, according to the information Dahei provided, apart from the group of people like Suo who are gathered together, the others are scattered in different parts of the tribe. This means that Li Qing and Dian's workload will be further increased, and Li Qing is very worried about their safety as they are left alone.
Of course, what Li Qing was most worried about was when this meteor shower would finally end.
A small meteorite just hit the Black Wind Tribe's cave. What if other meteorites hit the Black Wind Tribe?
Li Qing looked up at the sky. The meteor shower showed no signs of stopping and continued to fall, with meteorites of all sizes landing in various places and igniting intense flames.
The once vast Black Wind Tribe was teeming with people, but now, it's incredibly difficult for Li Qing and his group to find even one person.
“Some of them must have run outside the Black Wind Tribe,” Li Qing said worriedly. “I wonder when this search will end.”
The method described was the best one that could be thought of so far, but Li Qing also knew that in the face of this natural disaster, this plan could not possibly be implemented perfectly.
Riding on his big black horse, Li Qing ran towards the nearest warrior from the Red Flower Tribe. Just then, Li Qing suddenly saw someone rushing towards him.
"Atu Na, it's you."
After Dahei stopped, Li Qing saw who was in front of him and asked.
Atuna was kneeling on the ground, covered in black ash and with white foam at the corner of his mouth. It was unclear what he had gone through to become like this. In his arms, he was holding a woman. "Please, save Lieyan!"
"Blazing flames?"
Li Qing stared intently at the woman, not initially noticing that it was Lie Yan: "How did she become like this?"
At this moment, Lieyan's skin was purplish-black, and his body was covered with rectangular blood clots, which looked extremely disgusting and terrifying.
“I…I don’t know why this is happening,” Atuna said, his lips trembling. “It might be due to the poison taking effect.”
Just then, Yun suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Atuna, why are some parts of your skin also purplish-black?!"
A Tu Na's face paled in horror. He looked down and saw that his abdomen and arms were no longer the normal skin color, and some areas had injuries similar to those of Lie Yan. He had been so busy helping Lie Yan find a way out that he hadn't noticed these changes in himself. He exclaimed in horror, "How could this be!"
The same skin color... Could it be that the poison in Lieyan's body has already infected Atuna? No, that's not right, it's not a poisoning attack at all!
There's still some time before nightfall, and the White Feather Tribe would never allow the poison to take effect so quickly in order for their plans to proceed as scheduled. So... could it be...?
Li Qing suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Atu Na, when the Moth Witch came out, was Lie Yan still in the cave?"
Atuna said blankly, "Maybe so. I didn't see the flames come out, so they should be inside the cave."
As he spoke, he knelt down again and kowtowed several times to Li Qing, "Please save her. I will do anything you ask, even die, as long as you can save Lieyan."
Sure enough, that was it. After the meteorite exploded, it would produce an element called iridium, which is very harmful to living organisms and plants. Lieyan was in the cave, so she must have been greatly affected. Li Qingxin's heart sank. That element is extremely harmful to the body. It is already very difficult for Lieyan to have survived until now.
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Take off your grass skirt and wrap it around Lie Yan. Don't have any close contact with her body. The poison on her body is contagious. If you don't want the poison on her body to infect you, do as I say."
Upon hearing this, Atuna asked incredulously, "Are you really willing to help us?"
Li Qing said calmly, "I've already said that as long as you're willing to join our tribe, we won't kill you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Atuna was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. When he heard Tu's words—abandoning treatment for Lieyan—his heart sank. At that moment, he even forgot his injuries, feeling only a dizzying sensation in the world. His former faith had crumbled. So when he heard Li Qing's words, he immediately burst into tears, disregarding everything else, and knelt on the ground, kowtowing several times to Li Qing.
Li Qing did not stop him.
“Alright, do as I say, then come up,” Li Qing said.
Li Qing turned to his companions behind him and said, "By the way, you guys stand back a bit. After they come up, try not to have any contact with them. Their condition is very strange right now. This is for your own good."
These people were all close to Li Qing. Although they were the same age as Li Qing, they trusted him completely. This was why none of them objected when Li Qing made the decision "on his own." Hearing this, they all stepped back, making room for Atuna and Lieyan who came up next.
After Atuna settled the flames, Li Qing asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Atuna said, "There are some painful parts of my body, but these injuries should heal on their own soon."
Li Qing nodded and said, "That's good. Anyway, before you see the Jiewu and the others, if you feel unwell, you must tell me. You've already been infected by the flames in some parts of your body, so you have to be careful."
