Huai Shanâs words calmed the panicked hearts of the beasts, and at the same time, they three beasts kneeling on the ground saw hope.
They scrambled over and hugged Huai Shanâs calf while begging him.
âPlease save our people! Theyâre all infected with dead blood disease. As long as you can save them, weâll do anything!â
The three of them were dirty and smelly from their escape. Huai Shan almost vomited from their stench.
Huai Shan shouted at the guards behind him, âWhat are you waiting for? Quickly help me pull these three dirty things away!â
Miu Wei led the guards to pull the three koala beasts away and stopped them from approaching Huai Shan.
Huai Shan tugged at his robe, his heart filled with hatred.
Such expensive shark silk was dirtied by those three guys. Damn them!
The three tailless bear beasts were still begging.
Unfortunately, their pleas did not soften Huai Shanâs heart. Instead, it made him even more frustrated.
He said with a dark expression, âThese three escaped from the tribe that was swallowed by the dead blood disease. Perhaps theyâre also infected with the dead blood disease. For safetyâs sake, execute them immediately. Burn their corpses!â
Hearing that they were going to be killed, the three koala beasts immediately trembled in fear and kept shouting for justice.
âWeâre not infected with dead blood! You canât kill us!â
......
The guards dragged the three koala beasts away, planning to find a remote place to deal with them.
The three of them struggled desperately. Unfortunately, they were no match for the guards. They could only cry for help.
Although the other beasts couldnât bear it, no one stopped the guards.
After all, Huai Shan was right. These three koala beasts had escaped from the tribe that was ravaged by the dead blood disease. Who knew if they had also been infected by the disease?
If they were infected, wouldnât everyone here be in trouble?!
Huai Shan took in the changes in everyoneâs expressions and knew that his words had shocked everyone. He couldnât help but feel a little proud.
Ha, they were indeed just a group of bumpkins. Just a few words could scare them.
How ignorant!
Shuang Yun turned to Jiu Yuan and instructed him.
Jiu Yuan nodded. âI understand.â
He quickly chased after the guards with a few male wolves.
Jiu Yuan said, âPlease leave these three foreign beasts to us.â
The guards thought that Jiu Yuan wanted to deal with the koalas himself. It just so happened that they couldnât be bothered to kill the koalas themselves, so they handed them to Jiu Yuan.
The three koala beasts cried. âPlease donât kill us. Weâre really not infected. We donât want to die. Boo-hoo!â
Jiu Yuan said, âAlright, stop crying.â
âBoo-hoo!â
Jiu Yuanâs eyes were ferocious. âIf you cry again, Iâll kill you now!â
The three koala beasts immediately shut their mouths in fear, not daring to make a sound. They could only look at Jiu Yuan with tears in their eyes. Their gazes were filled with pleading and despair.
Jiu Yuan said to the male wolves behind him, âTake the three of them to the cave behind the temporary residence and watch them closely. Without the permission of the patriarch, no one is allowed to approach them.â
âAlright!â
The male wolves strode forward and dragged the koala beasts towards the cave.
Seeing this, Huai Shan immediately shouted, âWhere are you taking them? Theyâre probably infected with dead blood disease. They have to be executed immediately!â
Jiu Yuan didnât even look at him as he walked away with the three koala beasts.
Huai Shan was abnormally angry at being ignored.
He pointed at Shuang Yun and questioned aggressively, âWhat do you mean by this? You know that those three guys might be infected with the dead blood disease, but youâre still letting them live. If they fall ill, do you want all of us to die here?!â
The beasts all looked at Shuang Yun, not understanding why he was doing this.
They hoped Shuang Yun would give them a reasonable explanation.
Shuang Yun sneered. âThere were people here who were infected with dead blood disease before. According to you, does that mean all the beasts here might be infected with dead blood disease and should be executed?â
Everyone was stunned.
Huai Shan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. âThere were people here who were infected with dead blood disease? Why didnât I know about it?!â
âThere are a lot of things you donât know. This is no exception.â
Huai Shan was afraid that he would be infected.
He immediately took out a black crystal from his pocket and held it tightly in his palm. He asked nervously, âWhat about the beasts who were infected with dead blood disease? Did you kill them? Were their bodies burned?â
The beasts present were a little shocked.
They remembered that before winter came last year, a few beasts had suddenly fallen sick in their temporary residence. At that time, they thought it was just an ordinary illness and did not take it to heart.
Later, the sick beasts were cured, and the matter was quickly forgotten.
That illness did not leave an impression in the minds of many.
However, from what Patriarch Shuang Yun had said just now, it seemed that the illness that time was not simple. Those beasts were very likely infected with dead blood disease.
Thinking of this, the beastsâ expressions became very interesting.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the dead blood disease that they thought had only existed in rumors had appeared beside them.
Legend had it that once a beast was infected, there was only death and a terrible disease that reduced them to monsters that awaited them. It turned out that they could be cured.
At the thought of this, the dead blood disease seemed to become less terrifying.
Shuang Yun ignored Huai Shanâs series of questions and spoke calmly to everyone.
âBefore winter came last year, there were beasts in the temporary residence who were infected with dead blood disease. In order not to cause panic, I didnât tell everyone the truth.â
The beasts all pricked up their ears and looked at Shuang Yun quietly, listening to his explanation.
Shuang Yun continued, âMany of you have seen those beasts who were infected with dead blood disease and know their symptoms after being infected. Compare them to the three koalas just now. Do you think they look infected?â
The beasts recalled the symptoms of the few beasts who had contracted the dead blood disease.
Among them, the infected people knew the symptoms the best.
âI felt cold and hot all over. My mind was groggy.â
âYes, I couldnât muster any strength. I couldnât even move, let alone cry.â
âIn comparison, other than being a little disheveled, the three koala beasts donât look like theyâve been infected with dead blood disease.â
â¦
Amidst the chatter, the conclusion gradually surfaced.
When everyone was done discussing, Shuang Yun gestured for everyone to quiet down.
