But the expected attack did not come. Instead, a huge, fiery red tiger appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her, engaging the dragon beastman in battle.
Shen Miao was a little confused. Where did this tiger come from, and why was it helping her?
But it looks kind of familiar. Have I seen it somewhere before?
Shen Miao couldn't remember for a moment, but the other party was clearly on her side, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Enraged, the dragon-man reached out to block the tiger, but his arm was torn by a claw, leaving a bloody gash several tens of centimeters long.
"Fire Tiger, this is none of your business. Leave now and I'll pretend nothing happened!" the dragon beastman shouted.
Huo Hu scoffed, "Bullshit! I'm going to handle this. You harassed my friend's friend, and I'm standing up for my friend. What's wrong with that?!"
The dragon-like beastman was so angry he almost vomited blood. Was it really necessary to risk his life for such a complicated and convoluted relationship?
They're your friend's friend, not your friend!
The dragon-like beastman mentally cursed, his hands becoming increasingly strained. Suddenly, he turned and ran away, leaving behind the words, "You wait, I'll be back."
Then they disappeared without a trace.
Fire Tiger chuckled, raised its paw and licked it, then suddenly remembered something and spat on the ground in disgust. It had almost forgotten that its paw had just scratched that disgusting dragon beastman.
The big cat walked gracefully to Shen Miao. Even though Shen Miao already knew from their conversation that the big cat was on her side, she still couldn't help feeling pressured.
Of course, she felt pressured by a tiger that was taller than her when it stood up.
She forced herself to stay upright and asked with a smile, "Um, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The big cat's fur almost stood on end again.
It was such a tall and majestic tiger, yet this female beast had forgotten about it so quickly. It was a wonder that it recognized her at a glance and even came over to help her!
"Calm down!" Shen Miao quickly said.
Huo Hu snorted. Oh well, she's Jiu Ying's friend, so he might as well help her to the end.
"I'm Jiuying's friend. Come on, I'll take you back. I'm also going to find Jiuying." Fire Tiger flicked its tail.
When Shen Miao heard that it was Jiu Ying's friend, she finally remembered.
When Jiuying first arrived at the tribe, he ran away from home and went to the mountains. There, he met a tiger, who later visited the tribe several times to look for him.
But because the tiger's appearance would frighten the tribe's beastmen, Jiuying forbade it from coming out again, and after that, the fire tiger was never seen again.
I never expected to see it here.
This tiger is quite adept at roaming around.
Fire Tiger was very powerful, and with its escort, no more wild beasts or orcs dared to provoke them along the way, and they returned to the camp safely.
Upon arriving at the camp, Shen Miao's first action was to inquire about Jiu Ying's condition. She learned that during her absence, Jiu Ying had gone berserk several times and was now staying with Lin Shousheng so that he could check on him at any time.
Shen Miao was a little worried, so she went to check on Jiu Ying. Jiu Ying was sleeping, but it was bound with ropes, and at first glance, it looked like it was being imprisoned.
"Why did you do this to him?" Shen Miao frowned.
Lin Shousheng explained, "When he goes berserk, he doesn't recognize people, attacks indiscriminately, and can't listen to anything. I couldn't control him, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
Shen Miao had nothing to say, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She handed the Snow Flower and Fireflower Seedling she had obtained to Lin Shousheng, who sighed, "I didn't expect you to actually get these two things. The journey must have been quite turbulent."
"It's alright." Shen Miao didn't want to say more and urged Lin Shousheng to quickly give the medicine to Jiu Ying.
The Snow Flower and Fireflower Seedling still need to be refined and cannot be eaten directly, otherwise they will not be effective. During this time, Shen Miao and Qing Chen and the others had a good meal.
After finishing her meal, she rushed to Lin Shousheng's place. When she saw Huo Hu lying on the ground at the door, she slapped her forehead and realized that she had completely forgotten about this big tiger.
After all, they had gone to great lengths to bring her back, so Shen Miao felt a little guilty and quickly went up to ask Huo Hu. Huo Hu twitched his ears and said lazily, "This place is nice, but I haven't decided whether to stay or not. I'll check on Jiu Ying's condition first."
"Alright, you can wander around the camp as you like. I'll go and inform Xuanran's army. If you want to go out, let me know beforehand, because I've set up barriers around the area."
Fire Tiger nodded its big head, indicating that it understood, then lay down again and closed its aggressive beastly eyes.
Shen Miao wanted to say something, but seeing its state, she didn't want to disturb it, so she went inside to find Lin Shousheng.
"You've arrived. I just finished refining the herbs. Come with me to give it to Jiuying." The herbs Lin Shousheng was holding were no longer recognizable as either Snow Flower or Fire Sprout.
Shen Miao guessed that this was the finished product and followed Lin Shousheng into the room where Jiuying was.
Jiuying had woken up. He looked much more haggard, but when he saw Shen Miao, he still smiled. Shen Miao tried to untie the ropes for him, but she couldn't untie them right away, so she used her special ability.
The rope slipped off Jiuying's body on its own.
Lin Shousheng took the prepared herbs and gave them to Jiuying. Jiuying didn't ask any questions and just drank them.
"You didn't even ask a single question, aren't you afraid we'll poison you?" Lin Shousheng joked.
Jiuying smiled faintly, "If you wanted to poison me, you didn't need to go through all this trouble. Shen Miao didn't need to go so far, and you, Veterinarian Lin, could have just attacked me when I went berserk."
Everyone laughed at what he said.
The effects of the snow flower and fire bud were remarkable. Not long after Jiu Ying drank it, his body gradually recovered. He said that his mind used to be muddled and his memory was not very clear, but now it is very clear.
The spiritual energy within his body was no longer as restless and ready to kill at any moment as before.
Lin Shousheng took his pulse and said with a smile, "Your body has fully recovered and you are no different from a normal person."
Jiuying was so happy he almost jumped up on the spot.
For some time now, Jiu Ying has been deeply affected by this illness. He was originally an extremely restrained person, but because of this illness, he went mad several times and even injured people.
The others were also very happy to hear the news.
That's right. After everyone learned that Shen Miao had brought back the antidote, many people rushed over, including Qing Chen and the four cubs, as well as all the members of the Golden Crow Clan.
"So, will Uncle Jiuying be able to play with us again?"
Amid cheers, Xiao Sibao spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
Jiuying walked over, picked up Xiao Sibao, and weighed him in his arms. "Yes, Uncle Jiuying can play with our Sibao every day from now on."
"Wow, the Nine-Headed Serpent is so cute!"
