Nine tails slowly fell down, she rested her head on my arms, feeling extremely shy, and we both lay flat in the wind and the humming grass.

"Hehe, it's well said that rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished. Can you accept such a reward?" I asked.

She was so embarrassed that she snuggled into my arms and murmured a few times.

We lay here for a while, she rested, and I rested too. We both drank that special elixir water, so our bodies recovered faster than ordinary people. Now we can relax here and recharge and recover temporarily.

This place is cleaner and more comfortable than other places, and less black soil is exposed on the ground, so it is a good place to rest. The two of us lay down and closed our eyes for a while. Since Ling Shang is very capable, with her here, the monsters and beasts in this place should not be able to hurt us, so we dared to rest and doze off for a while.

When we woke up, the sun was about to set. I woke Lingshang up, she yawned and smiled at me. We each got up and hurried back before the sun went down, otherwise the bonfire dinner would begin and the door of the village would be closed. Besides, Lingshang had to look after the Longcheng end of the post station, so she had to hurry back.

So we hurried down the mountain and entered the village. We kept half of the melons and asked Lingshang to take the remaining eleven or twelve back. We told her to boil them in warm water and feed them to the hyenas. Although she was clumsy and basically an idiot when it came to housework, I thought she could do this simple job of lighting a fire, throwing the melons into the pot and boiling them with water.

Even so, she was still muttering about the instructions we talked about along the way, such as lighting the fire first and then setting up the pot, for fear that she would forget. This made me very nervous, and I was really afraid that she couldn't even cook a few things like sweet potatoes!

Soon she took my backpack and walked away in the wind. When she was halfway up in the air, she kept looking at me, and her gaze became more and more affectionate. I waved at her, recalling her endless tenderness in my mind.

Afterwards, Su Yuexi came to call me and said that the medicinal soup had been prepared. I sniffed it and it was indeed the same soup prepared by the Wutu tribe that I smelled that time. It had a special sour smell. It seemed that I was on the right track. However, for a formula that uses such a horrible and potent ingredient as the devil flower, the dosage cannot be off by even a millimeter. Otherwise, it will either be ineffective or may turn into pus. This in itself is a gamble.

The soup was crystal clear and sticky, with a slight mint green color. I glanced at Yunwen, and she was also worried. Su Yuexi told me that Yunwen wanted to try it herself, but Su Yuexi remembered my instructions very well and helped me stop her several times. Now the soup is there, but no one has tried to see if it works.

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva. After all, this was a bowl of poisonous soup, and I would be the first person to try it.

"Zhou Bo, let me do it. Your life is more important." Yunwen requested again.

"If I die, you will take my place. There are only girls here anyway, so you can run it as a country of girls. It's very convenient. Let's just do it this way." I said.

"This? Are you still joking at this time?" Yunwen said with a frown.

"Am I kidding?" I emphasized.

Then I picked up the medicinal soup, Yunwen held my hand, she was not sure either. At the same time, we both had no confidence in Song Bailu. After all, she seemed to be much less serious when harming people than when saving people, and there was no guarantee that she did not have evil intentions, although she had no reason to do so now. Besides, this was the first bowl of soup we made ourselves, and it was two different concepts from Fan Chong who had already mastered the rules and pharmacology. There were indeed many risks involved.

I swallowed my saliva, thinking that this medicine would either turn me into pus and blood, or save my life, between life and death.

Yunwen rolled up her sleeves because of fever, and now her entire arm has turned black. The original purple-black area has now spread out. I guess the same is true for me, which means time is running out. If I hesitate and don't drink, and something unexpected happens, I'm afraid there won't be any time to respond, and there will be no hope. Therefore, I'd better... fight him!

I slowly pushed Yunwen's hand away, and she shook her head at me. However, this time I did not consider her suggestion. Instead, I picked up the bowl, pinched my nose with my left hand, picked up the bowl with my right hand, put it to my mouth, closed my eyes, and gulped down the drink.

After drinking, I put the iron bowl down, quietly waiting for its feedback. All the people present stood still, looking at me, not daring to say a word. I took a deep breath, trying to feel the sensation in my stomach. Fortunately, apart from feeling hot, there seemed to be no other reaction. I tried to take two more steps, and it was still the same. I relaxed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But I don't know why I was able to pass through it so peacefully. After all, if the poison is to be eliminated from the body, it should go through a certain process. It has already extended greatly in the arm, how can the poison be eliminated without any feeling in that part? This is not in line with common sense.

"No, this is not right," I muttered.

I suddenly realized that it wasn't that I had no feeling but that my entire body's sensory system was paralyzed. I tried to clap my own hands, but found that it was like they were malfunctioning. I clapped hard but didn't feel any pain. It was as if I was clapping someone else's body. Not long after, a huge impulse emerged. I held my chest, feeling like I could hardly breathe, my stomach ached and I kept dry heaving!

Many of my nerves have lost their sensory response, but my body is still churning, as if a huge wave is surging and burning in my abdomen and the meridians of every organ in my body. I am an explosive point that is about to ignite and explode at any time. It seems that this is the precursor to turning into pus and blood.

All the girls present came over instantly, some were concerned, some were worried, some were afraid, and some were watching secretly. The one who was most worried and blamed herself was Yunwen, after all, she was the one who prepared the medicine. The one who was most afraid was naturally Song Bailu. If I died, then Su Yuexi would definitely think that she had killed someone on purpose, so how could she let her go? Not only Su Yuexi, but also Yunwen and Hu Lingshang, who would let her go?

She was so frightened that she stood there motionless and dared not move!

Just when I felt dizzy and unable to control myself, I suddenly felt an unbearable tightness in my chest. I hammered hard and finally, with a "wow" sound, a mouthful of foul blood spurted out, followed by several more mouthfuls. The whole floor was filled with a foul smell. I vaguely saw a lot of small black fragments in the blood, which should be the so-called devil fly larvae. However, they were no longer moving, so they must have been burned to death.

After spitting out the blood, I was gasping for breath. Yunwen and Su Yuexi hurriedly helped me up and moved me away from that end. It was from then on that the pain in my body gradually began to subside, and the sensation of my skin slowly recovered. I knew that this disaster was over.

Yunwen looked at me and immediately hugged me tightly, venting her fear from just now. I patted her back and showed her concern.

"It seems that the preparation method of the antidote is correct, but the Wutu people don't have any special feelings about toxicity, so they don't have much reaction to the antidote. But it's the opposite for us. The toxicity of the devil flower will produce a strong reaction effect when it comes to fighting poison with poison. That's why we had the reaction just now. Fortunately, there was no danger, but we still have to see if we can survive tonight. If nothing happens, Yunwen, you can prepare it for yourself." I said.

Yunwen nodded and wiped away her tears of excitement.

"Okay, light the bonfire and get ready to gather all the Kunks. I have something to announce," I said.

Not long after, we lit a bonfire in the central area of ​​the sacrifice where human food was cooked, and the Kunks came back to gather. When we looked around again, the pile of human bones had disappeared, and the entire sense of space suddenly expanded a lot.

The Kunk people had almost all arrived, with the Kunk woman standing at the front. Yunwen said she called herself Tutu, so I only remembered her name.

The altar made of piled rocks is generally higher than the flat ground, so it is convenient for Yunwen and I to walk up. Yunwen is responsible for translating, and I am responsible for starting to explain my arrangements and dispatches.

"All Quinks, your bad luck is over. From now on you will accept your new destiny and life. However, this island is too dangerous. It is extremely difficult for one tribe to survive. Only by uniting can we coexist with each other. If you are willing, let's form an alliance and share the good and the bad in the future." I said.

Yunwen translated, those Kunk people not only didn't consider it, they even knelt down in front of me, raised their hands, and were extremely awed.

"Okay, since you are willing, my arrangement is to assign you an instructor who will stay here to teach you technological innovations and also serve as my messenger. Song Bailu, from today on, you will be the high priest of this tribe, their leader, and also a vassal appointed by me." I said.

Yunwen was stunned by the word "vassal". "Western Zhou, feudal system?"
