Bai Susu's body was temporarily taken over by her inner demon. After escaping from the tribe, Lan You and Cang Xiao were poisoned and could not see anything and had no way to help.

After calming down, Lan You directed the tribesmen around him to settle the cubs first, send the injured cubs and adult orcs to the beast wizard, and leave the others behind.

Then arrange for the orcs from the three major tribes to sort out the bodies of the male red eagles in the yard.

After everything was arranged, Lan You pulled out the scales on his body and asked the cub to take out the grinding tools and some medicine left by Bai Susu. He ground the scales into powder and mixed the medicine for himself and Cang Xiao to eat. After about an hour, the poison gradually dissipated and they could see again after their eyes recovered.

Once the poison was removed, they did not dare to stop. Cang Xiao first used vines to block the places damaged by the male red eagle, and then repaired the stone house after everything was resolved.

The next day, before dawn, Cang Xiaotian took the team of male mermaids organized by Lan You to find Bai Susu. Lan You stayed in the tribe to take care of the cubs and lead the orcs to protect the tribe.

This tribe is where they live, where they and Susu can live in peace. There are many resources here that are only available because of Bai Susu, which she led everyone to obtain with great difficulty. He protects everything that belongs to him and Susu. Lan You arranges the affairs of the tribe in order, and then returns to the stone house to accompany the cub.

He was guarding the door. Ever since Bai Susu left the tribe, he had been restless and looked much more haggard. He hadn't slept all night last night, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Noticing his lost and uneasy mood, the cubs came to his side and looked at him with sorrow on their faces. They were dejected, with their tails drooping, and looked lifeless.

After the cub understood what had happened, he cried with red eyes and stood at the door with Lan You, waiting for Bai Susu to come back.

Lan You felt a little tired. The sun was blazing, but the warm breeze made him feel cold all over. He couldn't help but lower his head and cough. A fox cub looked at him with wide eyes and asked in surprise, "Father Lan You, are you sick? Why are you so weak?"

Upon hearing this, the other cubs also came over, staring at Lan You with wide eyes. They found that Lan You had a strange smell, so they surrounded him and sniffed him.

The other kids also asked:

"Father Lan You, you smell so strange."

"Father, there are some strange marks on your body. Were you injured yesterday?"

"Father, are you feeling unwell?"

"Father, you didn't sleep all night last night and you're weak. Come inside and rest. We'll stay here and wait for Mother."

The cubs were concerned about Lan You and asked him questions one after another. Lan You felt tired and unwell, and even his breathing felt heavy.

He looked down at his hands, and scales gradually appeared on his hands. These scales no longer had the luster they once had, and began to emit a hint of black.

He also smelled some changes in the scent on his body, and his breath was mixed with some of the scent of mutant beasts.

Last night, Bai Susu's body was taken over by the inner demon, and she already had the aura of a mutated beast. Her will and soul had not been devoured yet, and had not completely mutated.

And because he helped Bai Susu absorb the breath of the mutant beast, his body began to change, and black lines gradually appeared on his arms and chest.

In addition to the face, some parts of his body began to rot. Affected by the aura of the mutated beast, his breath became disordered. Although he was a five-patterned beast, Bai Susu's inner demon was powerful, and even his aura was stronger than his.

If an ordinary orc was invaded by the mutant beast's aura, he would have rotted and died from the inside. He has his own healing ability and can purify the aura, but Bai Susu's mutant beast aura is too strong. After expending a lot of energy and strength, he can no longer bear it.

The healing ability in his body can protect his internal organs from harm, but the surface begins to rot. Lan You looked at the wound on his hand. His wound was healing slower and slower.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the cubs became very worried. A white tiger cub put its paw on his hand and said, "Aoaoao - Wuuwuwu, aowu——"

(Father Lan You, why are you silent? Are you feeling unwell?)

(Father, why are your bodies starting to rot? Does it hurt?)

Lan You looked down and saw the cubs' eyes filled with worry. They were all standing by him. "Don't worry, cubs. I'm just thinking about something. I'm fine."

Afterwards, the mutant white fox cub grabbed his hand, blinking its large, misty eyes. Suddenly, it looked at him in fear and cried, "Father Lanyou, you lied to us! We can all feel that something is wrong with your body. What's wrong with you, Father? Why is your hair changing?"

Although the cubs are small, they are not stupid. They can see the changes in Lan You and sense some things.

Lan You was silent. He looked at his hair, which started to turn white from the ends. He found a mirror and saw that his hair was layered, with the ends completely white, while the top of his head and the roots were still blue.

He seemed to have thought of something and quickly changed back to his original form. He slumped down on the stool and lifted up the mermaid's tail to observe it. His tail was originally a dazzling light blue like a gem, and it shone in the sunlight, shining and beautiful.

And now, his mermaid tail has also changed. It began to fade from the tail and turned into a sickly white. Only the part near the waist was still light blue. The strange change of white and blue made him frown and feel solemn.

White Tiger Cub: "Mother said before that if a mermaid's tail is white, it means they are sick. Before, Grandpa Lanyou's tail was light blue, which meant he was healthy. Now half of it has turned white. Is Grandpa Lanyou sick?"

As soon as the words fell, the transformed beast cubs started crying in worry. Afraid of affecting Lan You's mood, they bit their lips tightly and dared not make a sound, wiping their tears silently.

The cubs that had not yet transformed squatted beside Lan You, silently nudging him with their heads.

White Tiger Cub: "How could Father become like this?"

Lan You didn't answer, but just looked at the cubs quietly. The reason he did this was that he wanted to save Bai Susu with his own life yesterday. He spent a lot of energy and strength to draw the abnormal aura from her body to himself, and use his own blood to help Bai Susu suppress her inner demons. But the price of doing so is that he will lose his youth and quickly age and die within a month.

Last night, before he could take the last step, he was pushed away by Bai Susu, but the aura of change had already entered his body. If it was not dealt with in time, he would still slowly age, but he would not die so quickly.

Now, the aura of the mutant beast has spread in his body, bringing him serious impact. He looked at himself in the mirror. There was no obvious change on his face, but the changes in other parts of his body were obvious.

Lan You didn't want to worry the cubs, so he lied to them: "Don't worry, cubs. I'm just tired. I'm fine. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

After saying this, Lan You stood up and brought the cubs back to the room...
