I thrived in the primitive tribe
Chapter 156 The Magic Pill
The sudden sounding of the warning bell made the few who were still awake tense.
They all turned to look at the entrance to the tribe, their thoughts simultaneously wondering if another pack of beasts was about to attack.
At this time, the wild animals that had slept all night were gradually awakening, but there wasn't enough food in the forest.
Hunger drove these wild beasts to roam freely, searching for an opportunity to fill their bellies.
Tribes, being relatively concentrated areas with abundant resources, naturally became their targets.
During this period, attacks on tribes by herds of wild animals are common.
Thinking of this, the group became even more worried and wanted to go and see what had happened.
Loya sent his fastest and most agile orc to the entrance of the tribe to scout out the situation.
Be sure to come back and tell them as soon as possible after you have a clear understanding of the situation so that they can formulate the most appropriate response strategy based on the actual situation.
After seeing Luo Ya's actions, Lu Yao turned back to look at the Siren, no longer caring why the alarm bell had rung at this time.
My most important task right now is to find a way to awaken my misled people.
Otherwise, it will be too late when the beast horde starts attacking the tribe. The Dragon Alliance tribe can't be wiped out like this!
With this in mind, Lu Yao tried to express her wishes to it through body language and simple words.
She gestured slowly, telling the siren that she intended to go forward and untie the ropes binding it, and in exchange, it needed to help them awaken the great shaman.
The siren stared silently at Lu Yao, her deep eyes seemingly flashing with some complex emotions.
It seemed to be weighing Lu Yao's suggestion, and after thinking for a while, it slowly nodded.
Lu Yao cautiously approached the sea monster and untied the ropes binding it.
As soon as the rope hit the ground, she nimbly took a few steps back, maintaining a safe distance to prevent the siren from suddenly making an aggressive move.
After the ropes were untied, the siren slowly raised one arm, her finger gently pointing to the great shaman not far away.
Then its lips began to move, making a series of incomprehensible gurgling sounds that Lu Yao couldn't understand.
Lu Yao turned her head nervously, her gaze fixed on the Great Shaman who was still standing still.
Just as the siren's voice faded,
A miracle occurred—the great shaman's previously empty and lifeless eyes suddenly regained their luster, as if he had awakened from a deep sleep.
The great shaman looked around, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
She saw Lu Yao staring at her nervously, as well as the crowd around her who were also standing still, and a sense of doubt welled up in her heart.
She remembered that she was supposed to interrogate the siren, so why was everyone standing here motionless?
When her gaze passed over Lu Yao and landed on the sea monster behind her, she was surprised to find that the rope that had been binding the sea monster was nowhere to be seen.
"Lu Yao, what happened? Why is everyone standing here?"
"And didn't you just say you wanted to ask about the siren?" The great shaman's voice carried a hint of confusion.
Upon hearing the shaman's question, Lu Yao's eyes instantly lit up with surprise; she almost jumped up and cheered.
"Great Shaman, that's wonderful! You're finally awake!"
She quickly stepped forward and briefly explained the situation to the high priest.
After saying all that, Lu Yao suddenly remembered something and asked urgently:
“Great Shaman, I remember when I first came to the tribe, I couldn’t understand what everyone was saying either.”
You gave me something to drink, and I was able to understand it.
"If we give that stuff to the siren, will it be able to understand what she's saying?"
Upon hearing this, the great shaman nodded slightly, silently noting in his heart the important information that the siren's tail could cause hallucinations when illuminated by sunlight.
"Lu Yao, you're right. It's a potion that allows us to communicate with each other."
However, whether administering it to the siren will be effective requires further testing.
However, now we have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless. The great shaman's tone was grave.
The high priest then took a small pill from his bag.
She immediately understood the high shaman's intention and quickly said:
"So you're going to dissolve this pill in water? I'll go find a ceramic bowl and fill it with water right now." With that, she turned to leave.
However, the high shaman gently waved his hand, stopping her:
"No need. Ever since you mentioned that herbal decoctions aren't very convenient to take, why not make them into pills or some other form?"
It's more convenient to carry when hunting, and after considering it, we think it's indeed as you said.
Therefore, we began experimenting with turning existing medicines into pills for consumption.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She never expected that a suggestion she made casually would be taken so seriously by the shaman and the tribe members, and put into practice.
"So, if we just take this pill now, maybe we'll be able to understand what the siren is saying?"
Lu Yao looked at the Great Shaman with anticipation, her eyes filled with excitement.
The high shaman smiled and nodded, but his tone carried a hint of caution:
"Theoretically speaking, yes."
However, the effects of the medicine vary from person to person, and the siren's language is completely different from ours; whether we can fully understand it depends on the specific circumstances.
As he spoke, the high priest handed the pill to Lu Yao, indicating that she should give it to the sea monster first.
Lu Yao took the pills, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.
She slowly walked towards the siren, offered the pill to it, and gestured as she explained:
"Take this pill, and you'll be able to communicate with us normally."
However, the siren on the other side didn't make a move; it's unclear whether it didn't understand or what.
Lu Yao was not giving up and patiently gestured and explained it again, trying to make every movement clear and distinct, but the siren still did not give any response.
This made her a little anxious, and she wondered to herself: Was it because I expressed myself wrong? Or does it simply not trust us?
Just when she was almost going crazy and felt helpless, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, and an idea illuminated her thoughts like the first light of dawn.
She turned around quickly, took a few steps to the high shaman, and said urgently:
"Great Shaman, give me another pill. I suspect the reason it's not reacting might be because it's afraid there's something wrong with what we're giving it."
"That way, I'll eat one first, and then give it to it; maybe then it will accept it."
Upon hearing this, the Great Shaman found Lu Yao's suggestion quite reasonable, so he took out a pill from his small bag and handed it to her.
Lu Yao took the pills, secretly relieved that the two pills were exactly the same size and shape, thus avoiding any suspicion from the sea monsters that might arise from the difference in appearance.
Approaching the siren again, Lu Yao gestured, displaying the two pills before it.
Then, she randomly picked up one of them, put it in her mouth without hesitation, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it.
After completing this series of actions, Lu Yao gently pushed another pill in her hand toward the sea monster, signaling with her eyes and gestures that it should eat it like she did.
This time, the siren finally showed a slight reaction; a hint of hesitation seemed to flash in its eyes.
But in the end, he picked up the pill from Lu Yao's hand, slowly opened his mouth, and swallowed it.
The waiting time always seemed exceptionally long, and Lu Yao was so nervous that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
She stared intently at the siren before her, whose expression remained unchanged, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
I don't know if this pill works immediately, or if it takes some time, or if it's completely ineffective.
Just as Lu Yao felt lost and was about to give up hope, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in the air:
"Who are you people? Why am I here? And why are you arresting me?"
This sudden sound, like a gentle breeze in spring, instantly dispelled the fog in Lu Yao's heart.
She suddenly raised her head, meeting the siren's deep eyes, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.
