Shuang Yun slapped him on the back and said angrily, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Even if I have to drag you back, Iâll do it!â
Feng Lan wiped his eyes with his remaining left hand. âI canât drag you down!â
âNonsense! As the leader, I donât think youâre a burden, so who dares to say youâre a burden?!â
Feng Lan glanced at his right arm. There was nothing below the elbow.
It would be difficult for him to maintain his balance in the future, let alone fight.
âIâm already crippled.â
Shuang Yun pressed his shoulder. âDonât be discouraged. Youâll get better.â
âPatriarch, you donât have to comfort me. I know I canât get better in my current stateâ¦â
Huanhuan suddenly interrupted him and said firmly, âYouâll get better!â
Feng Lan was stunned.
When Shuang Yun said those words, he was surely just comforting Feng Lan. However, as a witch doctor, Huanhuan wouldnât say such things without confidence.
She was the most powerful witch doctor in the history of the Rock Wolf Tribe.
She had cured many beasts. She could even cure dead blood disease.
Now that she said that Feng Lan would recover, perhaps Feng Lan would really recover.
Hope immediately appeared in Feng Lanâs eyes. âReally? Can I really still fight?â
Huanhuan nodded. âIâll heal you.â
Feng Lan was overjoyed to hear her affirmative answer. âThank you! Thank you!â
Huanhuan gestured for him to calm down. âDonât think too much about it now. Rest well and recover from the injury on your hand first. Only then can I help you recover.â
âAlright, alright. Iâll do whatever you say!â
As long as it could restore his health, he would do anything!
Bai Di said, âWeâre too close to Red Crystal City. To be safe, we have to get as far away as possible.â
Seeing that everyoneâs wounds had basically been treated, Shuang Yun immediately announced that they would set off again.
Feng Lan transformed into his human form and was carried on the back of the Silvery Frost White Wolf that was in the lead.
Huanhuan sat on the white tigerâs back.
The white tiger asked, âCan you really cure Feng Lan?â
âI have a general idea. Iâm not sure if itâll work out, though.â
Hearing the hesitation in her words, the white tiger said gently, âNo matter what you want to do, Iâll support you.â
Huanhuan touched his back. âOkay.â
She wanted to make a prosthetic limb for Feng Lan.
However, the materials used to make prosthetic limbs were very complicated. She wondered if they could be made.
Huanhuan took out the Introduction to Alchemy Manual and rummaged through it for materials or methods to make prosthetics.
Of course, there was no way to make prosthetics in alchemy, but there was a way to make weapons mechanisms.
In a sense, mechanisms were very similar to prosthetics.
She only needed to be more creative and she should be able to make a prosthetic limb through a combination of mechanisms.
They traveled for three days and three nights in a row. Everyone was exhausted. Only after that did Shuang Yun announce that they would stop and rest.
They were in the forest, surrounded by tall and lush trees.
Huanhuan squatted down and touched the soil.
The air was moist, and the land was damp. It was evening, and the sun had set. There was no need to worry about having a light source.
So she took out the green crystal beads and let Choir come out.
Balls of mushrooms fell to the ground, and soon, a small patch of Moonlight Mushrooms grew.
They clustered together, their caps glowing a pale blue.
âOh, dear Divine Wood, youâre still so beautiful~â
Huanhuan touched their caps. âIâll have to trouble you to keep watch tonight.â
The Moonlight Mushrooms sang happily, âItâs our honor to serve the Divine Wood ~â
Under Huanhuanâs command, they grew into a large circle that surrounded the beasts. This way, no matter what happened in any direction, they would immediately be able to take notice and inform Huanhuan.
Bai Di was roasting meat.
The meat was fresh. Shuang Yun had just gone hunting nearby.
Huanhuan walked over. âChoirâs keeping watch tonight. You can sleep well.â
Bai Di paused, confused. âChoir?â
Huanhuan pointed at the Moonlight Mushrooms nearby. âThatâs them.â
When Bai Di saw the Moonlight Mushrooms, he immediately recalled their ferocious performance in the swamp. He couldnât help but say, âI really couldnât tell that they were so lethal.â
Huanhuan smiled. âYou canât judge a book by its cover!â
Although they were in the wild and the conditions were harsh, the meat Bai Di roasted was still delicious.
After taking a bite, the tired beasts immediately felt happy as if they had suddenly seen an oasis after walking in the desert for three days and three nights. The food was wonderful!
Two of the younger wolf beasts couldnât help but cry.
Shuang Yun asked them what was wrong.
They cried and said they were homesick.
Shuang Yun sighed. âI miss the children too.â
Feng Lan leaned against the haystack. He looked up at the starry sky, his mind filled with Mu Xiang.
The atmosphere suddenly became sad.
Huanhuan was affected, and her mood involuntarily became low.
Xue Ling asked, âWhereâs the flute I gave you before?â
Huanhuan thought for a moment before remembering. âIn the space.â
Xue Ling reached into his pocket and took out the flute from his space. He smiled at Huanhuan. âLet me play a song for you.â
âSure.â
Xue Ling brought the flute to his mouth and blew gently. A brisk rhythm fluttered.
When the Moonlight Mushrooms nearby heard the flute, they got so excited. They raised their heads and puffed out their chests as they sang with passion.
âThe night sky is filled with stars, the blue stars tremble in the distance.
âThe night wind swirls in the air and sings.â
â¦
Accompanied by the sound of the flute, the Moonlight Mushroomsâ singing was crisp and melodious.
The cool night soothed the longing in the beastsâ hearts.
At this moment, in Dark Moon Temple thousands of miles away, the high priest was kneeling on a cushion. He suddenly opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, âI saw it. The beasts we sent to kill the Rock Wolf Tribe are all dead.â
The pitch-black civet stood up and asked in surprise, âHow could this be? There were more than 30 green lizard beasts and 20 snake beasts. How did they fail to deal with 20 wolf beasts?!â
The high priest said, âTheyâre stronger than we thought.â
âSo what do we do now?â
âSince we canât stop them, let them be. Anyway, even if they reach the City of 10,000 Beasts, they wonât be qualified to build a city.â
The civet walked to his side. âDonât be too confident. Be careful not to get slapped in the face again.â
The high priest gently stroked its smooth black fur. âI wonât fall in the same place twice.â
The servant walked in and said respectfully, âHis Majesty the beast king wants to see you.â
The civet wagged its tail. âI bet heâs after the Rock Wolf Tribe too.â
The high priest stood up. âLetâs go.â
The civet leaped lightly onto his shoulder and followed him out of the temple.
