“He said he’s fine, what else do you want to do? Hurry up and leave,” Chu’s “flattery” was, in the man’s eyes, the most effective way to respond to Li Qing. He shrugged, turned around and left with the two soldiers behind him. “We’re going to find Mang Hu now. You won’t have to wait long.”
After saying that, the three of them turned and left.
Watching the three figures turn and leave, Chu said, "It's normal that they don't help us when something like this happens in their tribe. Don't blame them."
Chu sighed, "Maizi, you're still young. After you experience more battles in the future, you'll be able to understand their thoughts."
Li Qing nodded with a wry smile; he knew perfectly well what the Qingye tribe was thinking.
Judging from the current situation of the Qingye tribe, this outbreak is definitely large-scale. This will make their tribe's limited medicinal herbs even more precious. How could they possibly use these precious herbs on the Honghua tribe, with whom they have never had any dealings? Besides, they are outsiders after all. The Qingye tribe has already done more than enough by accepting the three of them.
Li Qing felt extremely guilty and only wanted to do as much as possible for the tribe.
Instead, Chu started by trying to cheer Li Qing up. He grinned and said, "Your experience is so funny. I never thought you would get here alive like this. And that Duanhe guy is too stupid. He actually thought that eating a Heaven-Defying Eagle egg would awaken him into a totem warrior. I never thought the Black Wind Tribe would have such a stupid warrior."
After saying that, Chu laughed loudly: "But this is good too. He is a level three warrior, right? The death of a level three warrior in the Black Wind Tribe will increase our chances of revenge in the future!"
Even a powerful tribe like the Black Wind Tribe only has a handful of level-three warriors. Duanhe's death dealt a significant blow to the mighty Black Wind Tribe, but... Li Qing smiled with Chu. Chu was a typical rough man who didn't think things through so complicatedly, but Li Qing knew very well that even losing a level-three warrior wouldn't have a major impact on the Black Wind Tribe. Besides, the situation of the Red Flower Tribe was already precarious, so how could they possibly launch an attack on the Black Wind Tribe?
He stared blankly at the busy people in the tribe, lost in thought.
"Li Qing, Li Qing!"
What interrupted Li Qing's thoughts was the wild tiger that rushed over.
He helped Li Qing stand up, and then went over to help Chu up.
Chu said, "I can get up by myself." Then he threw the banana peel he had left on the ground, put his hands on the ground, and tried to stand up.
Just as he had half-stood up, Chu's arm muscles trembled, causing him to fall back to the ground.
Chu looked blankly at his arm and muttered to himself, "That's strange, why can't I exert any strength?"
Li Qing saw it all and felt a pang of pain in her heart. Although Chu hadn't told her in detail what had happened to them, Li Qing could roughly guess from Chu's injuries what kind of ambush they had encountered.
The entire hunting team, including the second-level warriors, the first-level warriors, and even Li... all fell off the cliff. Even though Chu didn't explicitly say they were dead, Li Qing had already sentenced them to death in his heart. This wasn't a fairy tale. The cliff where the Eagle family lived was at least two hundred meters high. It was impossible for a human to survive a fall from that height.
The faces of Daohua, Li, and other familiar warriors all appeared in Li Qing's mind. At this moment, when he closed his eyes, Li Qing's mind was filled with the sound of stone weapons colliding, the shouts of battle from both sides, and... blood.
"Chu, don't push yourself, I'll carry you."
Li Qing walked up to Chu.
"Hey, Mai Zi, I'm at least twice your size, what are you trying to carry? Don't joke around, I can walk by myself!" Chu pushed Li Qing away and tried to stand up again.
Chu's strong willpower enabled him to stand up successfully this time. He nodded to Mang Hu, whose expression was complicated, and took a step forward.
Can.
He fell to the ground again!
He hadn't expected to fall like that, so much so that he didn't even use his hands to brace himself against the tree behind him; he just fell straight to the ground.
Chu was already badly injured, and this fall was even more severe. After falling to the ground, Chu immediately gasped in pain.
"hiss……"
"No, stop this, Chu! You need to rest now, you really need to rest!" Li Qing couldn't hold back any longer and growled, "Otherwise, you'll die!"
Chu was stunned: "I won't die. I've survived so many arrows and so many slashes. How could I possibly die in a place like this?"
"Stop talking, Chu, leave this to me!"
Li Qing turned his head, grabbed Mang Hu's shoulders tightly with both hands, looked directly into Mang Hu's eyes, and said, word by word, half command and half pleading, "What do you want me to do to save him? I know your tribe is in a bad situation right now, but I can't watch Chu continue like this!"
The tiger remained silent.
He didn't speak, and Li Qing just kept staring at Mang Hu.
Mang Hu's eyes darted away, avoiding Li Qing's gaze: "Chu's current condition is indeed such that he will die if left untreated for a long time, and..."
He whispered in Li Qing's ear, "Even if Chu has the willpower to walk back to the Red Flower Tribe, he will die of exhaustion on the way."
Feeling Li Qing's trembling hand gripping his shoulder, Mang Hu said, "In our tribe, there are two very special herbs that can be used on our people and our battle pets respectively. They can heal people like Chu who are covered in battle wounds, and they can also wake up Da Hei immediately. The medicine itself has no side effects and works very quickly."
Li Qing remained silent, waiting quietly for Mang Hu to continue. He knew things wouldn't be that simple.
Sure enough, Mang Hu said, "However, there is only one of each of these two herbs."
Li Qing's heart sank.
There is only one plant.
The Qingye tribe would be even less likely to suddenly have a change of heart and use that one and only herb on Chu and Dahei.
That's the only one; who knows if the tribe will ever need it in the future?
"so……"
"Stop talking."
Li Qing said in a low voice.
"I see."
This time, however, Mang Hu remained silent.
“I don’t have a better way either,” Manghu looked at Chu, feeling a little sorry for him. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll try to see if I can talk to the tribe and let you stay in the tribe a little longer. But if I can, I can only guarantee that you won’t go hungry, but I can’t guarantee anything more.
