Wu Yue looked at the little cub in the female Beastman’s arms. ’So if they use force, will this little one lose a hand too? That would be too cruel for a cub so young.’
"Ding~ Ergency Mission: Host, please successfully rescue the tribe mbers caught by the Iron Claw Worms, find a thod to deal with the Iron Claw Worms, and eliminate the Iron Claw Worms (0/10,000).
Mission Reward: Never-full Backpack ×1
System Points ×100
Please proceed without hesitation, Host."
Wu Yue’s head buzzed for a mont. ’What the hell? A surprise mission just dropped on .’
Though she was grumbling internally, she turned to the Clan Leader’s mate beside her. "Grandma, I just thought of a thod that might make these worms release our trapped tribe mbers.
Please watch over everyone here and don’t let them try to break free by force. Wait for my word."
Hearing her say this, the Clan Leader’s mate’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly. "Can you really save them?"
Wu Yue gave a wry smile. "I have to try. Even if it doesn’t work, it won’t be dangerous."
With that, she looked at the female Beastman holding the little cub. "Let’s go to the pool inside the cave."
By now, everyone in the tribe knew Wu Yue’s na, so the female Beastman nodded and ran after her toward the pool in the center of the cave.
"Put the cub’s trapped hand and the Iron Claw Worm into the water together."
The female Beastman froze for a mont, but seeing the serious expression on Wu Yue’s face, she squatted down and did as she was told.
When the little cub’s hand was placed in the cool water, its crying even subsided a little.
The little cub’s mother, Amu, and a group of females who had followed them watched nervously as the cub’s hand and the Iron Claw Worm were put into the pool, a strange sense of anticipation in their hearts.
And then, a miraculous scene unfolded. The mont the little cub’s hand and the Iron Claw Worm were subrged, the pincer that had been clamped tightly on the cub suddenly sprang open.
Everyone gasped in astonishnt, and Wu Yue also let out a sudden breath of relief.
’It seems that even though they’re so many tis larger, they still have the sa trait of releasing their pincers in water.’
The female Beastman imdiately stood up, holding the little cub, her eyes shining as she looked at Wu Yue.
Faced with the female’s shining gaze, Wu Yue felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head. "Go quickly and tell the others. Anyone caught by an Iron Claw Worm should co soak in the pool."
The female Beastman handed the little cub in her arms to its mother, Amu, then turned and ran toward the cave entrance.
anwhile, the little cub, who had been wailing from the Iron Claw Worm’s grip just monts before, had already stopped crying. It was sucking on its injured fingers, watching Wu Yue with tear-streaked eyes.
’It was Lord Wuyue who thought of a way to get that scawy bad bug off. Lord Wuyue is so amazing~’
Wu Yue’s heart skipped a beat when she saw bits of finger bone sticking to the flesh and blood on the little one’s hand. Green witch power, full of the aura of life, materialized between her palms and enveloped the cub’s hand.
A mont later, aside from so bloodstains, the little paw that had been in excruciating pain was restored to its original state.
But Wu Yue still instructed the little one’s mother, Amu: "The wound just healed. Don’t let him pick up anything heavy. This hand needs to rest for a few days to recover completely."
The female nodded gratefully. Wu Yue then turned to the little cub, who was blinking its big eyes. "Got it?"
The little one flashed a happy grin, revealing his neat little baby teeth, and nodded his fluffy little head vigorously. "Got it! I’ll be good and west my hand!"
After speaking, he preciously tucked his little paw into his chest to hide it.
Wu Yue smiled and patted his head. "Such a good boy. Go on, have Amu take you back to rest. Your little hand needs to recover."
But at her words, the little one’s lips trembled, and he looked toward the cave entrance, his watery eyes full of worry. "Father..."
Thinking of the male who had been surrounded by Iron Claw Worms earlier, Wu Yue sighed inwardly and comforted the little one with a smile. "You go back and take a nap. By the ti you wake up, Father will be back."
The little one’s eyes sparkled. "Really?"
Wu Yue nodded. "Really. Go on now."
As she spoke, she gave the female a aningful look.
’The males must have horrific injuries from fighting off the Iron Claw Worms. The little one was just hurt by one himself; it’s better if he doesn’t see that.’
The female, holding the little cub, bowed gratefully before turning to head back into the cave.
From the direction of the cave entrance ca waves of joyful cheers. A mont later, many of the tribe mbers who could still move walked over, each carrying an Iron Claw Worm.
