"Luming, hold on! I'll go back to the tribe and find someone to help!" Luming no longer had the strength to hold on and slipped again.

"It's too late..." Lu Ming squeezed out three words with difficulty. At this moment, his eyes could no longer focus and his breathing became weak.

Lu Ming knew that the poison of this venomous snake was extremely strong and spread very quickly. With Yan Qiling's speed, he would probably have gone to see the Beast Spirit God in one round trip from here to the tribe.

Only at this moment did Yan Qiling deeply feel the importance of innate power. Although the previous escape was dangerous, life and death were just a matter of a moment, unlike the current feeling of powerlessness and frustration, which was more torturous.

"Awoo~" Yan Qiling couldn't help but let out the unique whimpering sound of his beast form.

Memories came flooding back like a torrent: the silver-haired boy with a smile as sweet as the morning breeze, the sweet kiss they had when they first met in the cave, the gray fox and rabbit that staggered to their feet to block the orcs' attacks, and the bloody remains in the cave.

"You can't die~" Yan Qiling pleaded in a trembling voice.

If she wants to survive, she must carry Luming back to the witch doctor's cave.

She once again leaned under Lu Ming, trying to hold him steady, but Lu Ming slipped off again...

After several times of exerting all her strength, Yan Qiling felt her entire body was empty. Her breathing became heavy and her limbs trembled uncontrollably. She was exhausted...

"A Ling." A familiar voice came.

Yan Qiling raised his head and saw a huge gray-black wolf leaping to his side.

He leaned forward and said, "Come up, I'll take you to the witch doctor's cave."

When Luo Xiao was sending Yan Qiling back, he heard her stomach growling, so he went back home to get some dried meat for Yan Qiling. When he arrived, he found that she was no longer in the cave, so he followed the smell and came over.

Yan Qiling felt as if there was light shining down on her head, and her eyes regained their spirit. She looked at Luo Xiao with gratitude: "Okay."

She struggled to move Lu Ming and pushed him onto Luo Xiao's broad back. Luo Xiao's beast form was much larger than both of them. Yan Qiling changed back into human form and helped Lu Ming sit on it.

The sound of the wind blew past their ears, and soon the three of them arrived at the witch doctor's cave.

The old witch was sorting the herbs, and two apprentices were helping her.

Seeing the three people coming in, he hurriedly put down the work in his hands and helped lift Lu Ming onto the stone bed covered with animal skins.

The old witch glanced at Yan Qiling and remembered that she was the female who had just joined the tribe and she was the one who presided over the initiation ceremony.

Without waiting for the old witch to speak, Yan Qiling said anxiously: "He was bitten by a poisonous snake. The wound is here." Then he pointed his finger at Lu Ming's hind leg.

The old witch looked at the wound, then looked at the white hair tied on the wound: "This is tied by you."

Yan Qiling nodded. The old witch saw the blood at the corner of Yan Qiling's mouth and asked, "Did you suck out the poisonous blood?"

"Yes." Yan Qiling then remembered that there was still a rotten smell in his mouth.

The old witch looked at Yan Qiling with a bit of disbelief in her eyes. First, she couldn't believe that a female would risk her life to suck out poisonous blood for a male. This was almost impossible in the Orc Continent where there were many males and few females. At least the old witch had never encountered it. Second, she couldn't believe that she knew how to treat the wounds of poisonous snake bites. After all, females had almost no hunting experience, let alone emergency treatment of wounds. Third, she didn't expect that she could remain calm in the face of danger and think of using her hair to tie the wound to slow down the spread of the poison.

The old witch turned around and found some herbs, handed them to the witch doctor apprentice and said, "Crush them and apply them to the wound."

Then he grabbed a handful of serrated leaves and gave them to Yan Qiling, saying, "Chew out the juice and spit it out. Be careful not to swallow it accidentally." There was concern and approval in his eyes.

Yan Qiling walked out of the cave and did as she was told. The crushed leaves leaked a slightly bitter juice, which slowly turned into a refreshing herbal fragrance as she chewed. The fishy and rotten taste in her mouth was completely neutralized by it. Finally, the crumbs mixed with the venom became sticky, and Yan Qiling spat it out. After repeating this several times, Yan Qiling felt that her mouth was much more refreshed. Not only was there no odor, but it also had a faint fragrance.

Yan Qiling returned to the cave and saw that the hair on Lu Ming's legs had been untied and placed aside. A witch doctor apprentice was feeding Lu Ming herbal juice, while another was applying medicine to his leg wound.

Yan Qiling's tense nerves relaxed a little, and it was already completely dark. When returning to the witch doctor's cave, Yan Qiling saw the old witch raising the hay under Luming's upper body to slow down the flow and spread of toxins to the heart. I didn't expect that the medical level of the beast world was not as backward as I imagined.

Yan Qiling walked over to the old witch and helped stuff the hay under the hide. The old witch turned around and said, "Go home and rest. We will change the medicine for him at night. I will send someone to notify you if there is any emergency."

In this world, you can get free treatment, free medicine, and all-night care, which is something you wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The selfless love of the witch doctors in the animal world probably stems from the sense of mission passed down from generation to generation, as well as the awe of their people. They also have awe for life.

Yan Qiling said gratefully: "Thank you! But it's really hard for you to take care of him all night. I will stay and help take care of him!"

The old witch paused for a moment. She had not expected that this little female would not only be able to respond tactfully, but also be well-behaved and polite. She was not like most females who were squeamish, arrogant, or panicky and cowardly. She nodded slightly and said, "Then you can stay."

"Thank you, witch doctor! I'll go back and get something and be right back!" Yan Qiling turned and walked out of the cave.

After taking a few steps, a tall figure came towards him. Yan Qiling then remembered that she had been busy and completely ignored Luo Xiao.

: "Thanks to you just now, thank you, Brother Xiao!" Yan Qiling smiled sweetly, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Yan Qiling intended to distance himself from Luo Xiao, but thanks to his help just now, he couldn't seem too awkward, so he changed his address from "Brother Luo Xiao" to "Brother Axiao".

When Luo Xiao heard Yan Qiling change his name to Axiao and completely ignored the word "brother", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Here, eat something first to fill your stomach." Luo Xiao smiled and handed Yan Qiling a bulging animal hide bag.

Yan Qiling took the animal skin bag, and suddenly her hand felt heavy, and she almost dropped it. She quickly put more strength on her hand, lifted the heavy animal skin bag and placed it on the side of the stone bed. She opened it and saw that there were more than ten pounds of dried fruits, dozens of pieces of dried meat, and a full water bag. If it was placed in the previous animal world, it might not be a big deal, but now it has been dry for six consecutive months, and these are very precious supplies!

"This little wolf cub is quite generous." Yan Qiling was touched. Although she knew that Luo Xiao liked her, she didn't want to take advantage of others' sincerity: "Thank you, but I don't need so much..."

As he spoke, Yan Qiling took out two pieces of dried meat and two dried fruits from the bag, and handed the rest back to Luo Xiao.

In the Orc Continent, even if a female doesn't like the male who is courting her, she will still accept the gifts he offers her. Even if the male refuses her afterwards, he dare not complain. It's because females are scarce. This is the injustice caused by the huge difference in numbers, and males have long been accustomed to it.

Luo Xiao was slightly startled. When he went back to the cave to get supplies, he was afraid that the little female would be hungry, so he took a full bag. He didn't expect Yan Qiling to refuse.

Yan Qiling's hand stretched in the air was already trembling slightly under the weight. Seeing Luo Xiao stunned and standing still, Yan Qiling stepped forward, grabbed Luo Xiao's hand, stuffed the animal skin bag into his arms, and then dragged his hand around the animal skin bag.

: "Thank you! That's enough."

Luo Xiao felt Yan Qiling's soft and warm little hand, his heart skipped a beat unconsciously, and he felt delighted.

But then he thought: "Could it be that she doesn't like me and that's why she doesn't accept me?" The starlight in Luo Xiao's eyes dimmed instantly.

If it were any other female, she would accept the gifts regardless of whether she liked the admirer or not, but she did not take advantage of her liking to satisfy her greed.

She is different.

She may not like me, but it doesn't affect my liking for her...

Luo Xiao: "I'll come see you tomorrow..."
