Jiuying, accompanied by several cubs and surrounded by the Jinwu tribe, left the room.
Outside, the sounds of their laughter could be heard from time to time. Everyone was in a good mood. Through the window, Shen Miao saw Jiu Ying surrounded by several cubs, listening to them with a smile.
Qingchen stood to the side, a rare smile on his face, and she couldn't help but smile along with him.
In the midst of this wonderful atmosphere, Lin Shousheng's slightly solemn voice came from beside her, "Chen Miao, there is something I must tell you."
Shen Miao's smile remained unchanged. She turned to Lin Shousheng and said, "Uncle Lin, please speak. I'm listening."
Lin Shousheng uttered a single sentence that caused her smile to vanish inch by inch.
"I take back what I said before. Snowflower and Fireflower Seedling cannot completely cure Jiuying, they can only prolong the time it takes for the Beast God to fuse with his body."
Shen Miao asked, almost in disbelief, "Why? That's not what you said before!"
Lin Shousheng had previously said that as long as the Snow Flower and Fireflower Seedlings were found, the Nine-Headed Serpent could be restored to normal. That's why she went through all sorts of hardships to find these two precious medicinal herbs.
Lin Shousheng sighed and said helplessly, "Yes, I used to think so too, but just now, I took Jiuying's pulse and found that those medicinal herbs were no longer effective for Jiuying's body."
In front of Jiuying and everyone else, he dared not reveal the truth and could only tell Shen Miao in secret.
Shen Miao staggered back a step and shook her head, saying, "Uncle Lin, don't joke around. This joke isn't funny at all."
"I'm not joking. I guess the Nine-Headed Serpent's condition is too serious. Neither the Snow Flower nor the Fire Sprout has any effect on him," Lin Shousheng said gravely.
After a long silence, Shen Miao finally spoke with difficulty, "What should we do now? What kind of medicine can save him?"
Lin Shousheng looked at Shen Miao quietly, shook his head, and said softly, "There is no other way. Only by killing Jiuying can we prevent the Beast God from appearing in the world."
Stepping out of the house, Shen Miao's steps felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, seeing Jiu Ying and the other children playing so happily still brought a bittersweet feeling to her heart.
"Uncle Jiuying, come and catch me! Come and catch me!"
"It's coming! The eagle's coming! Erbao, you better watch out!"
"Giggle giggle."
Qingchen walked up to him without him noticing and asked in a low voice, "What did Veterinarian Lin say to you?"
Shen Miao snapped out of her reverie and smiled. "No, we just chatted about what happened along the way. I'm a little tired, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The excuse was too clumsy. Qingchen took a deep look at her back, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his eyes became unfathomable.
There are many things that Shen Miao is unwilling to tell him, and she will only bear them on her own, as if his existence is dispensable.
...
"Chief, the female beast's dwelling is just ahead."
Outside the camp, a short orc was pointing at the camp and reporting to a slightly older orc.
The older orc had sinister eyes and deep nasolabial folds on his face; he was clearly the kind of person who had been in a high position for many years and whose word was law.
He followed the orc's gaze to the camp and asked in a somber tone, "How do we get in?"
The short orc scratched his ear with some difficulty and said, "We can't get in. I just checked, and there are traps around the area to prevent outsiders from entering the camp."
Upon hearing this, the older orc's face immediately darkened.
He came here to avenge his son, but he can't get into the camp. How can he find the female beast and avenge his son?
"Chieftain, don't worry. We can't go in, but we can wait for them to come out. That female beast can't stay hidden forever. See? Someone's coming out now," the short orc said hurriedly.
The older orc squinted and saw an orc coming out, carrying a cub on his neck.
Immediately after him, three more little cubs emerged.
A cruel thought crossed the older orc's mind: since the female orc can't be found anytime soon, why not just kill the four of them, one big and one small? After all, they're all from the same tribe.
This will also let that female beast know that if she offends the Rock Scorpion Clan, she will have to pay the price!
At the same time, Jiuying had not gone far from the camp when she stopped and looked up warily in one direction.
Upon seeing this, the Rock Scorpion Clan Chief and the Dwarf Orc quickly crouched down and used weeds to cover their bodies.
Jiuying saw nothing, but he keenly sensed an unusual smell; danger was nearby!
"Uncle Jiuying, why aren't you moving?" Little Sibao, sitting on Jiuying's shoulders, tugged at Jiuying's hair, though she didn't use much force.
Jiuying put the four little treasures down and smiled at the children, saying, "Big treasure, second treasure, third treasure, fourth treasure, Uncle Jiuying is suddenly feeling a little unwell today. How about I take you hunting in the mountains another day?"
Upon hearing that Jiuying was unwell, the children immediately stopped fussing about going out and instead asked with concern, "Uncle Jiuying, where do you feel unwell? Let's go find Grandpa Lin."
"No need, you all go back first, I'll just sit here for a while," Jiuying said with a smile.
The children are still innocent. If Shen Miao were here, she would be able to tell at a glance that Jiu Ying is not paying attention.
But the children knew nothing. After hearing Jiu Ying's words, they obediently went back. Before leaving, Da Bao told Jiu Ying, "Uncle Jiu Ying, then come back quickly."
"OK."
Once the children entered the camp and the gate was closed, the smile on Jiuying's face immediately vanished. He turned around and ran quickly in the direction where he had felt something was wrong.
"Chief, he's found us!" The short orc panicked.
The Rock Scorpion Clan Chief calmly said, "What are you afraid of? You're spineless. He's only one person. We brought so many people with us, and we still can't beat him alone?"
Upon hearing this, the diminutive orc calmed down.
Indeed, they came for revenge, bringing more than a dozen orcs, all of whom were skilled warriors of their tribe. Although this orc looked tall and powerful, he was definitely no match for all of them.
Thinking it over, the dwarf orc calmed down, obeyed the chieftain's instructions, and ran into the woods to find the other orcs in the tribe.
When Jiuying arrived, more than a dozen orcs had already lined up in battle stance. Jiuying's gaze swept over them, and his voice was cold, "Rock Scorpion Clan?"
The Rock Scorpion Clan and the Golden Crow Clan have a long-standing feud, and both are extremely sensitive to each other's aura.
At this moment, the other side also knew that Jiuying came from the Golden Crow Clan. Immediately, they saw each other as enemies and were filled with hatred. Without saying a word, they started fighting.
The Rock Scorpion Clan doesn't care about rules or regulations, and they don't even blush when they gang up on the weak. A large group of them surrounded the Nine-Headed Serpent.
However, he was not afraid at all and released his supernatural power, injuring several Rock Scorpion Beastmen.
However, he had just recovered from an illness, and the Rock Scorpion Clan exploited his weakness, attacking him relentlessly.
