"You carry her, and I will take you to find soone. Right now, I’m afraid only he can cure Sugar’s poison."
In that urgent mont, no one had ti for bla. The snake venom had surpassed the Witch Doctor’s healing capabilities; even if they brought her back to the tribe now, it would just be a waste of ti.
Yin Ye noticed how familiarly Jin Han spoke with the female, clearly knowing her, even the na he did not know, which was enough to suggest that before him, the little female had been with Jin Han?
There was no ti to ponder further. Yin Ye lifted the already unconscious female into his arms and climbed onto the back of the Golden Eagle. In a mont, it was already more than an hour later.
They arrived near the waterfall where Sugar had initially crossed over to this world. The Golden Eagle cried out, and a dark green snake shadow flashed from behind the waterfall.
Then it transford into a half-beast with dark green hair. Before either could speak, Pan Lin imdiately saw the Little Purple Mink in Yin Ye’s arms.
"Is she injured?" Pan Lin’s voice was tinged with urgency, and Yin Ye pursed his lips.
"Be careful, she’s been poisoned by Black Scale Red!"
Black Scale Red?
Pan Lin’s face turned extrely grim. Without glancing at the two n, he rushed into his territory like the wind, holding Sugar.
Yin Ye wanted to follow, but Jin Han, now in human form, raised his hand to stop him.
"Don’t disturb him now. He’s a Fine-Scaled Taipan Snake. There is no poison in this world that is stronger than his, so he can cure it, but it’s probably going to cost him a lot of Essence."
If Sugar were an adult Beastman with so resistance, it might have been easier for Pan Lin to help. But their Sugar was just a fragile, immature female, unable to match the strength of Pan Lin, so to detoxify her, Pan Lin would inevitably need to expend more of his Essence to protect her.
Pan Lin was a cold-blooded creature. His cave had not even a blade of grass, just the cold stone. But when he rescued Sugar, he had already begun collecting skins, though he never imagined she would leave so resolutely. Fortunately, he had never given up looking for her. During his search, saving up skins seed to have beco an instinct.
But he never expected her return to be in such a dying state. Pan Lin’s entire body trembled, but he couldn’t bla anyone.
After all, Sugar had left from his place—what right did he have to bla Jin Han or the Werewolf for not protecting her?
Especially since today’s situation—a bloodbath—was almost no different from that night. The Werewolf saved her, had he not?
Guilt, at that mont, simultaneously haunted the hearts of the three Beastn, extrely agonizing.
Pan Lin carefully laid her on the soft skins, then found the wound on her hind leg. He held his breath and concentrated, gathering the power from within his body to force out his dark green inner core before bringing it to her lips, sliding it down her throat. Then, using his strength, he pushed the toxins into the inner core.
During this process, the two were surrounded by a green light. From daylight to darkness, then from a rainy night to a continuous torrential downpour, regardless of the shifting of night and day outside, Pan Lin sat cross-legged next to her, not moving an inch.
Finally, after three days and nights, once the poison was completely forced into the inner core, he absorbed the inner core back into his body.
Then, weakly calling out to the two who had been steadfast outside, "She’s safe now. You two take care of her, I need to ditate for a few days."
By the ti Jin Han and Yin Ye rushed into the cave, Pan Lin’s figure had already disappeared.
Yin Ye looked in the direction where he had vanished with so concern, "He..., is he going to be all right?"
"He’s probably off sowhere using up those toxins. At worst, his Essence will be greatly weakened for so ti, no harm done. However, this little one,"
"Let take her back to the Nandi tribe and have her recuperate under the care of Witch Doctor Mu Nai. This ti, it was my oversight. I won’t ever take her out again; I shouldn’t have softened my heart,"
Nandi Clan?
It was only then that Jin Han noticed the tribal insignia of the Nandi Clan marked on the little one’s neck.
"No wonder I couldn’t find her all this ti. Have you been keeping her in the tribe?"
The Xinba Clan didn’t have such a symbol as a tribal insignia; the Nandi Clan’s mark was a blade of grass, symbolizing hope and dicinal herbs, the distinct feature of their tribe.
The Nandi Clan had always been renowned for their dical skills, so not only did Jin Han not stop them, he decided to personally escort them there.
The rain still fell outside, and the two Beastn held Tangtang securely in their arms, not letting her catch the slightest chill, and safely delivered her to the Nandi Clan.
Even after the detoxification, it was two days later when Tangtang finally ca to.
Upon awakening, her eyes actually turned into a fluorescent green, very striking and dazzling. This discovery greatly surprised Yin Ye, who was also curious as to what exactly Pan Lin had done to her.
When Tangtang learned that Pan Lin had exerted himself to save her and had yet to erge from seclusion, her heart was shocked.
A serpent beast that she disliked had repaid her enmity with kindness to save her, and moreover, had paid a certain price. This made Tangtang feel uncomfortable.
But more than that was a self-loathing, helplessness, and incompetence.
She despised her own weakness in this world full of danger, where it seed leaving the tribe spelled danger.
How laughable that she had previously thought about surviving on her own. Now it seed her thoughts were not only naive but also childish.
Because of the inherent disadvantage that females were born with; they only possessed the abilities for reproduction and gathering. Beyond those, without any other strengths, surviving outside was progressively more challenging. But she wasn’t willing to be a female like the others; her mind was still filled with many things she wanted to do. Thus, realizing her own shortcomings, she fostered the idea to start training her body.
The reaction speed, agility, sense of sll, and hearing of animals were all much stronger than humans, and male Beastn were especially formidable. Conversely, females naturally reacted slower than males. If she wanted to beco stronger, it wasn’t enough to simply run or physically train; the most important thing was to gather outdoor survival experience to cope with more ergencies.
But now, given that her body couldn’t even shift into a human form, it was far from sufficient.
Already hindered in her developnt by excessive blood loss, and now poisoned once more, who knows how long it would be until she could return to her human form.
Tangtang felt very defeated. Afterwards, when Yin Ye ca to pick her up, she stubbornly refused to leave, insistent on not budging. If nothing else worked, she could at least learn dicine, right?
She didn’t want to live such an unremarkable and purposeless existence any longer.
So, for the next half a month, Tangtang either followed Witch Doctor Mu Nai in preparing dicines or observed her selecting dicinal materials. From ti to ti, she would learn a few things, especially identifying dicinal herbs. For so reason, whenever Mu Nai introduced a herb, an image of a plant with a completely different appearance but similar dicinal properties would flash in her mind. She had always assud it was a hallucination due to her weakness and had never taken it seriously until—
