"Fever?" Bai Jiao, as a doctor, was particularly sensitive to symptoms. He stepped forward and asked, "What kind of fever is it? On the forehead or all over the body? Are there any other symptoms? Like vomiting?"
He had studied the history of medicine on Brant Star. In the earliest primitive times, there was usually only one doctor in the tribe - the witch doctor, who had a high status, second only to the chief. He had seen many cases where the witch doctor could not cure someone's illness, and often came to the conclusion that the beast god was going to take the person away.
When he was reading books in the past, he often felt sorry for the backwardness of ancient medicine. Even the simplest cold could take a person's life.
The current situation is so similar to what is in the book that he cannot just sit back and watch.
"How do you know?" A dark-skinned man looked at him in surprise, "White hair? Are you a doctor of the White Feather Clan?"
"I'm not from the White Feather Tribe, but I'm a doctor," Bai Jiao said in a calm voice, "Can I go see the sick Kabu?"
The man was particularly interested, but the origins of Bai Jiao and the others were too mysterious, so he didn't dare to take the risk. The rest of his companions expressed their opinions, and after discussing for a while, they still couldn't make up their minds.
Xie Sen looked at the tangled expressions of these strong men and couldn't help but speak up: "We have no ill intentions. If you are worried about us going in, you can carry Kabu out. Anyway, in your opinion, he will be taken away by the Beast God. Why not give it a try?"
The suggestion made the dark-skinned man's eyes light up: "Wait, I'll go find the leader."
Not long after, he came out. The short-blond leader came out with him. The two of them were carrying a wooden board, on which lay a tall, thin man. His face was red from the fever, his lips were cracked, the outer edges were white, and the middle was black. He was frowning and mumbling.
The short blond man put the board on the ground, stood up, and looked at Bai Jiao expectantly: "Are you really a doctor? Can you really save Kabu?"
Bai Jiao said, "I'll try my best." He squatted down beside Kabu, carefully checked his eyes, mouth, and tongue, then took out a detoxification pill from the backpack space and fed it to Kabu. He also took out a bottle of water, lifted up Kabu's head, and slowly fed it to him.
The natives watching were all stunned. One of them knelt down in front of Bai Jiao and said, "You can actually conjure things out of thin air! God's messenger, you must be God's messenger. Are you here to save us?"
The people around him knelt down with tears in their eyes: "We are saved, we are saved..."
Bai Jiao was startled and waved his hands, saying, "You misunderstood. I am not a messenger of God."
Long Teng smiled and said, "The things were taken out from the space backpack, not transformed." As he spoke, he spread out his palms, and the next moment a bottle of water appeared in his hand, "Look, I can do it too." He unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, a cough came from Kabu's throat. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Kabu. They saw his eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, blinked without focus, and finally fell on the white and clear face.
He raised his hand and gently grasped Bai Jiao's falling white hair, with a strange light in his eyes: "God's messenger, are you here to pick me up?"
Bai Jiao tucked her hair behind her ears, stepped back and said, "I am not a messenger of God, and you are still alive."
"Kabu!" The short blond man rushed to Kabu and grabbed his shoulders excitedly, "You're okay, you're really okay! That's great!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly stood up, faced Bai Jiao, clenched his right fist, bent his arm and put his fist on his heart: "I am Kawei, the leader of the lion tribe, Kabu, the witch doctor of our tribe, and my younger brother. Thank you for your help. You will be our lion tribe's friend forever."
Bai Jiao said, "You're welcome." He took out three more pills, glanced at Kawei, and took out a small medicine box and handed it to Kawei. "He is still very weak. Feed him three times before each meal tomorrow."
Kawei thanked him gratefully and took the medicine box with a serious look: "Thank you. Did you really take your things out of the backpack? Why didn't I see the backpack?"
Bai Jiao pointed at the white jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "This is it. It's different from your backpack."
Kawei looked at the bracelet in surprise, totally unable to understand why this thing could hold so many things.
Bai Jiao was not going to explain. Even one day and one night might not be enough to explain it clearly. He said, "Take Kabu back and let him rest. It will be good for his health if he rests more."
Kawei came to his senses and had Kabu carried back. Kabu had been looking at Bai Jiao, and when he saw that Bai Jiao was about to leave, he asked weakly but quickly: "What's your name? Which tribe are you from?"
Kawei knew his brother best. It was obvious that his brother had taken a fancy to this female. He felt very troubled and said quickly: "They are not from the Yamu land. You go and rest first." He urged the tribal warriors to carry Kabu away quickly.
"If you can come here, you can definitely leave. You'd better leave quickly. What I said before is true. You will die if you don't leave." After Kabu left, Kawei said in a heavy tone, his attitude was completely different from before.
Xie Sen asked: "What exactly happened? What did you mean by the Beast God being angry?"
Kawe looked towards the east with a serious expression: "The Beast God is angry. The plants on the holy mountain are growing wildly and even starting to attack us, preventing us from going up the mountain. It no longer provides us with shelter. After another full moon, the rainy season will come. By then, the flood will destroy our tribe and all of us will be drowned!"
Xie Sen thought to himself, it was indeed related to wood energy. If Kawei looking towards the east was just a coincidence, the crazy growth of plants was definitely due to the influence of wood energy.
But he was still surprised: "The amount of water in the rainy season is so huge? Will we drown if we don't go to the mountains?"
"The Yamu continent is surrounded by the sea. The water level will rise during the rainy season, and the current flat land will become an ocean. Only the Holy Mountain can provide me with shelter. But now, it refuses to protect us." Kawi clenched his fists tightly.
Xie Sen realized the seriousness of the matter and looked worried. If it wasn't for saving him, A'dan's energy wouldn't have been scattered everywhere, and Yamu Continent wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. He must recover the energy as soon as possible!
"The holy mountain is nearly 300 kilometers away from here. How do you know the situation there?" Xie Sen asked.
Kawei looked at him in surprise: "Three hundred kilometers is the distance? Aren't you from somewhere else? How do you know the location of the Holy Mountain?"
Xie Sen was stunned, thinking that this person was quite sensitive: "We saw it when we came here."
Kawei did not doubt it and explained, "The Eagle Tribe is not far from us. They often go to the Holy Mountain to pick wild fruits and exchange them for prey with us. They brought the news back. After I got the news, I went to see it myself and just returned to the tribe yesterday. That's when Kabu was injured."
Xie Sen suddenly realized and said to the other companions, "Let's take a rest first. How about going to the Holy Mountain tomorrow?"
"Great!" Long Teng said excitedly, "I haven't fought with plants yet! He said plants can attack, I'm so curious!"
Bai Jiao nodded: "Since there are edible wild fruits, there should be other plants as well."
Maine nodded: "I'll go with you."
Liu Chen remained silent and did not express his opinion. The purpose of his trip was only to guide Maine and Long Teng. It was really worrying for them to go on a long journey in a spaceship for the first time. His presence was to prevent them from getting into trouble, just in case.
He doesn't need to care about or participate in any of their actions.
Kawei said: "Don't go, many animals in the mountain are running away, and the plants will attack people. The Holy Mountain is very dangerous now!"
Seeing his anxious face, Xie Sen smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. We will be careful."
Kawi watched them board the spaceship with a worried look on his face. They saved Kabu, and he didn't want anything to happen to them.
"Don't worry, Chief. They all look very powerful, just like the legendary messengers of God. Maybe they can save us!"
"Yes, Chief. They knew the danger but still went. They must be very confident."
Kawei nodded: "May the Beast God bless them!"
The next morning, bright light shone through the glass onto the bed in the spaceship lounge. Xie Sen tilted his head to take a look, a look of joy in his eyes. He hadn't seen this kind of natural light for several days and actually missed it a little.
Maine put his arm around his waist and rubbed his neck: "Good morning."
Xie Sen turned around and bit his chin, his eyes slightly curved: "Good morning, what do you want for breakfast? White porridge or potato pancakes?"
"Bai Zhou," Maine kissed him on the lips. Just as he was speaking, a high-pitched eagle cry suddenly came from outside the window. Maine frowned, jumped off the bed with his hands, walked to the window and looked out, "A giant eagle flew to the lion tribe."
Xie Sen immediately thought of what Kawei said yesterday: "Could it be a messenger from the Eagle Tribe?"
"It's possible."
After washing up, the two went to the kitchen to make breakfast. The five of them ate breakfast together. After breakfast, Xie Sen and the other four got off the spaceship, while Liu Chen stayed on the spaceship and did inspections.
As soon as Long Teng jumped off the spaceship, he summoned the flying dragon beast Dahei. Dahei excitedly flew two circles in the sky, making a brisk dragon roar, and then landed, rubbed against Maine, curled up beside Long Teng, and raised his head to look around curiously.
"Their tribe and their dress are almost exactly the same as ours in ancient times." Bai Jiao sighed as he looked at the tribe in front of him that was surrounding the city with clods of earth and branches.
Xie Sen smiled. He didn't know much about the history of Brant Star. He only knew that the current humans were orcs in the past. Orcs? Then...
Just as they were thinking, an eagle cry came from the Lion Tribe, and a giant eagle flew into the sky and flew towards them. The wooden gate of the tribe opened, and a giant lion ran towards them.
The giant eagle quickly landed not far from them, and the next second, it turned into a tall gray-haired man. His eyes were deep and his gaze, with a faint light, fell on Xie Sen and Bai Jiao.
The giant lion was one step behind him, and when it was approaching, it suddenly turned into a man, it was Kawei.
"Wow! That's so cool," Long Teng said excitedly, "Could our ancestors have done the same?"
Bai Jiao smiled and said, "Yes, our ancestors were orcs."
Kawei took a step forward and was about to speak when he saw the flying dragon beast beside Long Teng and asked in surprise, "Dragon clan?"
Long Teng smiled and said, "It's Feilongmon, my contracted beast."
Kawei didn't understand and thought that the contracted beast he mentioned was similar to a pet. He was shocked. How powerful must the person be to be able to keep such a powerful creature as a pet?
Even though he knew they were powerful, he still said, "This is Fusser from the Eagle Clan. He just went to investigate the situation on the Holy Mountain this morning." He looked towards the east with a worried look on his face. "More and more animals are running out. The closer you get to the Holy Mountain, the more dangerous it is. You can't go there."
Fuser's eyes wandered between Xie Sen and Bai Jiao, his eyes shining: "I heard that you are from another continent? How amazing. Oh, what beautiful females, forgive my rashness, I have never met females more beautiful than you two, with such white skin..."
The corners of Xie Sen's mouth twitched. This seemingly sincere praise did not make him happy.
Maine put his arm around Xie Sen's waist and looked at him coldly: "Look away."
Fuser was stunned: "Sorry, I just couldn't help but compliment you, I didn't mean to seduce you." He said, looking at Bai Jiao.
Bai Jiao had a handsome face, and his white hair made his skin look even whiter and brighter, making him look a little cold. He smiled politely at Fuser and looked at Kawei: "Thank you for the reminder, but we still have to go."
Long Teng sat on the back of the flying dragon beast and waved to them, looking quite impatient: "Let's go!"
Fuser glanced at Feilongmon and suggested, "It may be inconvenient for you to go together. Can I give you a ride?"
"No thanks." Maine refused neatly.
Kawei was a little anxious when he saw them sitting on the dragon's back and leaving. Xie Sen smiled at him and said, "The flying dragon beast can fly in the air. Even if there is danger, we can return safely. Don't worry, we have a companion here. If anything happens, please help take care of it."
"Of course." Kawi nodded seriously, "You saved Kabu, and you are the lifelong friends of the lion tribe."
The flying dragon beast flew into the sky and quickly flew towards the east. It was very fast, but it did not fly very high so that Xie Sen and the others could see the situation on the ground.
In less than half an hour, there were groups of animals running below. Xie Sen said, "It's just like Kawei said."
Bai Jiao: "Fortunately, there is a flying dragon beast, otherwise it would be very dangerous to pass through the ground."
Upon hearing this, Feilongmon swung his tail, feeling very proud.
As they approached, the full appearance of the holy mountain was revealed. It looked like a huge hemisphere, infinitely expanding horizontally and vertically. The curvature of the mountain was very smooth, giving people a very strange and soft feeling.
The closer they got, the more animals there were on the ground. Their speed became more chaotic than the ones they encountered before. Xie Sen frowned and looked at the Holy Mountain: "What happened?"
His question was soon answered. They reached the edge of the mountain and looked up. There was almost no light in the forest. The whole forest was extremely gloomy.
Xie Sen felt the heat on his right shoulder and knew that the wood energy was inside. He gently stroked the phosphorus armor of the flying dragon beast and said, "Fly up to the sky and take a look at the situation."
The Flying Dragon Beast swung its long tail and rose rapidly. Although the curve of the mountain was stable, the height was not low. The Flying Dragon Beast flew until it exceeded the highest point of the mountain before stopping.
"Wow! What a big flower." Long Teng pointed to the top of the mountain.
I saw that the entire mountain was almost covered by a golden flower. The flower was bright in color and covered a large area. If you didn't stand on a high place to look at it, you would never have thought of its true identity.
They were just above the edge of the petals when the flying dragon beast suddenly swung its tail and flew towards the center. Xie Sen quickly pressed his palm against its scales and said, "Dahei, don't move!"
However, Flying Dragonmon was extremely fast and had already passed the edge of the petals and reached the top of the flower.
Suddenly, an arm-sized, black-rimmed, flat triangular object shot out from the flower and fiercely attacked Feilongmon's eyes. Feilongmon quickly turned around to avoid the attack, and the four people behind him fell outwards instantly because of its action.
Maine held Xie Sen tightly in his arms, and Long Teng grabbed Bai Jiao's arm to protect him.
"Leave the range of the flower." Maine said to Flying Dragon Beast as he looked at the flat triangle that shot out from the flower again.
The flying dragon beast flew outwards, dodging the triangles, but after dodging one, the next one came right after it. It was not afraid of being hit, after all, it had solid phosphorus plates, but the person on its back did not, so it could not resist and could only dodge flexibly.
Xie Sen staggered from side to side, but was held steadily by Maine. He looked down and became nervous. If he was hit and fell from this height, he would die instantly.
"Descend." Maine held Xie Sen with one hand and steadied his body with the other hand, and said.
The flying dragon beast descended quickly and the attack stopped instantly. However, before the few people could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the flower grew taller and tilted, as if it was tilting its head, and continued to shoot flat objects at them.
Xie Sen suddenly had an idea and summoned the watermelon vine, commanding it to form a net that spread out diagonally above them to block the triangle.
It can indeed block it, but the triangle attacks very quickly. When it hits the vine net, the edge and the net form a huge friction, cutting off the vines. After blocking it once, the vines are broken in half and are not enough to continue to resist the next attack.
Bai Jiao said: "It turns very slowly." The only time it stopped attacking was when the flower turned.
"Rise to the middle and descend from the other side." Maine said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others understood his intention. If the flowers wanted to track them, they would have to turn 180 degrees, which would take a long time.
Flying Dragon Beast reacted quickly. The moment Maine finished speaking, its body suddenly rose high, dodging the attacks while flying to the highest point, then flew towards the middle, preparing to cross the middle and fall from the other side as Maine said.
“What thick branches!” When passing the highest point, Long Teng looked at the branches that were exposed because the flower tilted its head with shining eyes.
At this time, Hua Hua tilted her head to the side, and they were above, so they were not attacked for a while, and they had a chance to chat. Xie Senyuan looked around: "There is a mountain forest below it, and when it turns, its branches will collide with the trees in the mountains. No wonder it turns slowly."
Bai Jiao nodded and added, "Its flowers are huge, and when it tilts sideways, the trees will support its receptacle. If we land low enough, it won't be able to attack us." He frowned, "But there are too many beasts below, and low places are not safe either."
Maine groaned, staring into the forest: "It may be the safest inside."
When passing the midpoint of the flower branch, the temperature of Xie Sen's right shoulder rose to the extreme. He covered his right shoulder and stared down: "What I want is under its branch."
The flying dragon beast stopped subconsciously and asked, "Do you want to go down?" The top of the mountain that was originally covered now had a gap because the flowers had turned their heads, so it could find a gap between the trees to go down.
"Hurry up," Bai Jiao urged before making a decision, "It turns its head upward very quickly!"
As he was speaking, two triangles attacked them at the same time. The flying dragon beast flew forward. Xie Sen summoned a vine net. Without waiting for the triangles to attack, he directed the vine net to wrap around them in circles in mid-air.
The first vines that touched them broke instantly, but they stopped their advance, and the vines behind them successfully wrapped them into a ball.
"Great!" Long Teng laughed.
"Roar~~~" Suddenly, a deafening lion roar came from the mountain below. The flower that was turning its head suddenly stopped moving. The next moment, the wailing cries of various birds and beasts were heard in the mountain.
Maine's expression changed suddenly, and he looked down with uncontrollable excitement on his face: "Flying Lion Beast."
Xie Sen's eyes lit up with joy, but then he said worriedly: "It seems to be fighting."
Bai Jiao nodded: "From the sound, there is indeed a battle. The flower's reaction is not right, it may be related to it. It is dangerous for us to go directly to the middle. Why don't we land from the outside and then get closer to the middle to observe the situation?"
Xie Sen also thought this was a good idea and looked at Maine, who nodded, "Okay."
The flying dragon beast flew away from the center and found a place with sparse vegetation about ten kilometers away to land. Before landing, it deliberately let out a roar to deter the wild beasts.
It was extremely quiet around where they landed, and the roar of lions in the distance became clearer to their ears.
Seeing that everything was fine, Xie Sen summoned a watermelon vine, which came in front of him with two flat triangles. He retracted the vine and the two triangles fell to the ground.
Long Teng picked it up and examined it curiously: "What is this? Can weapons grow out of flowers?"
Xie Sen stared at the triangle, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. He felt that it looked like an enlarged version of a sunflower seed! Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that if the flower was infinitely reduced, wouldn't it be a sunflower?
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he always felt that things were a little magical - maybe they just looked alike.
Although he thought so, he still couldn't help but took one from Long Teng's hand and looked at it. Then he tapped the edge hard with his thumb. A crisp sound of "click" reached his ears, and a small hole appeared on the surface of the flat triangle.
Xie Sen looked at the "big killer" with a complicated expression. He quickly peeled off the shell along the hole, revealing the plump white flesh, which was exactly the same shape as a melon seed!
He leaned in and smelled it, and a faint aroma of melon seeds came. He simply took a bite, and the familiar melon seed flavor rushed into his taste buds. It didn't have the sweetness of fried ones, but it had its own fragrance.
Maine snatched the melon seeds from his hand, pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Spit it out!" There was anxiety in his eyes, "What if it's poisoned?"
Xie Sen held his hand and comforted him, "It's okay, I won't eat anything careless. These are sunflower seeds, they are edible. If you don't believe me, ask Bai Jiao, they are non-toxic."
Bai Jiao took the melon seed kernel and examined it carefully, then broke off a piece and tasted it: "It is indeed not poisonous. I have seen the introduction of sunflower seeds in ancient books, but they are not this big."
Xie Sen said: "This is also the first time I've seen one this big. It should be related to what I'm looking for."
Maine's expression relaxed slightly. Long Teng peeled the large melon seeds in his hand with a crackling sound, then took two bites, his eyes shining: "Hmm... delicious!"
Long Teng saw that the piece of meat Xie Sen had eaten before was now in Bai Jiao's hand, so he broke it in half and gave it to Maine: "We eat one, and they eat one."
The four of them quickly finished eating the melon seeds. Long Teng was still a little unsatisfied: "Ah, how about we fly up again and let it attack us?"
Xie Sen smiled and said, "It grows here and can't move. Don't worry, let's first check on the flying lion beast. When the sound of the battle subsides, we will slowly move towards that side."
Long Teng thought about it and it made sense. He smiled and patted Maine on the shoulder: "Hahaha, aren't you excited? I was super excited when I saw the flying dragon beast."
Maine glanced at him and said, "Yeah."
Xie Sen couldn't help but smile when he heard that, but his mouth froze as soon as it curved up. A heat suddenly spread from his heart to his whole body, the temperature was so hot that it almost burned him.
He couldn't help but groan, and his body fell limply. Maine quickly hugged him, his pupils contracted violently: "Asen!"
Xie Sen sensed the panic in his voice and wanted to smile at him, but his consciousness was caught up in the astonishing burning sensation. He bit the tip of his tongue, regained a bit of clarity, grabbed Maine's sleeve, and gave a soothing smile.
Maine's face didn't improve at all. He quickly called Bai Jiao, "Come and see what happened to Asen. Is he poisoned?"
Bai Jiao looked tense as he carefully examined Xie Sen, his brows furrowing more and more tightly. "It's not poisoning, but a sudden high fever. This symptom is too strange, unless..." He paused, "No, it doesn't make sense."
Maine looked anxious: "What's going on?"
Bai Jiao felt Xie Sen's pulse and took out a stethoscope from his backpack. Finally, he said, "Although it doesn't make sense, there is no better explanation than this." He looked at Xie Sen's left shoulder, "Can you undress him?"
Maine noticed his gaze and immediately understood: "You mean he is reacting to the awakening contract?"
"Yes, but I can't be sure, after all, he has already awakened." Bai Jiao said.
Maine thought of the time when he awakened the Flying Lion Beast, and said in a deep voice, "It could be a second awakening. Asen is a plant-type beast master, and his beast mark is on his right shoulder."
As he spoke, he pulled down Maine's collar on his right shoulder, revealing a five-colored peony with bright red and yellow petals and duller petals on the rest.
Maine frowned: "No change, it's the same as before." He was with Xie Sen every day and knew the appearance of the five-color peony even better than Xie Sen.
Bai Jiao looked at the five-colored peony in surprise. Long Teng came over and asked, "Could it be that Asen's awakened beast pattern is not on his right shoulder, but somewhere else?"
Maine did not speak, but pulled up Xie Sen's collar on the right shoulder, and then pulled down Xie Sen's collar on the left shoulder, only to see a pattern vaguely emerging on the originally fair skin.
"It's indeed his second awakening!" Bai Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "His awakening reaction is very strong, we need to find a place for him to rest."
Long Teng smiled and took out a folding tent from his backpack: "I'll set up the tent."
