Chapter 42 - Hunting Injury

Everyone happened to see Pebble running out of the crowd in a panic, and Tang Guo called out to him.

“What happened over there?”

“It’s Jiu Chen and the others! The hunting group is back, but they’re injured!”

Pebble was clearly in a hurry. He ran off after saying, “Brother Jiu Chen is the most seriously injured. He’s dying! I have to get Granny Witch Doctor!”

Meanwhile, over at the tribe, everyone helped carry the injured warriors to the square in the center of the tribe. Granny Witch Doctor was already waiting there.

There were three injured. Jiu Chen was injured in the head, bleeding, and unconscious. One of the other two had injured his leg, the other his arm.

Bai Ye, who had been missing all morning, was standing beside them with an ugly expression, watching Granny Witch Doctor treat them.

In fact, it was common for the males of the tribe to be injured when they went out hunting. Besides, people died every year from hunting injuries.

However, it was the first time that three warriors had been injured so badly at once.

One had to know that they were all two-star soul beasts. They were just going out to hunt and should not be injured, let alone so seriously.

Granny Witch Doctor examined them one by one. Then she shook her head and said to Bai Ye, “Leader, their injuries are too serious. I’m not sure I can heal them all.”

“If they survive this night, they might survive. But if…”

She didn’t finish, but everyone understood what she meant.

In the tribe, there was no miracle that anyone could survive with such serious injuries.

Bai Ye’s face was ashen. He had begged Granny Witch Doctor to treat them with all her might. The three injured males were all top warriors in the tribe. It would be a pity to lose them!

Granny Witch Doctor didn’t move. Instead, she looked at Tang Guo and said to Bai Ye, “Perhaps we can let Tang Guo try.”

Everyone was shocked by this.

Many people objected. “How can we do that? Although we know that Tang Guo’s female cooking is delicious, that doesn’t mean she knows witchcraft and can save people! We can’t risk the lives of the warriors!”

Everyone only knew that Tang Guo could make very powerful food and was still making a kind of mud brick, but they didn’t know what she was going to do.

They also did not know that Tang Guo’s fighting strength was not inferior to that of the warriors. She could even challenge a three-star soul beast.

Because of these things, Bai Ye had instructed Milo and the others on the way back not to publicize them in the tribe.

It wasn’t good for a female to be too powerful, especially for Bai Ye. He was afraid someone would try to snatch her from him.

Milo and the others understood what he meant. They expressed understanding kindly and cooperated.

So, apart from Milo and the others, no one in the rest of the tribe even knew that Tango had killed Youming.

Therefore, no one was optimistic about Granny Witch Doctor’s suggestion.

“The female Tang Guo hasn’t even learned the skills of a witch doctor. How can she treat the warriors!”

“That’s right. Hua Yu learned from Granny Witch Doctor. Should we bring her back? When she’s healed the warriors, we can lock her back in the forbidden cave in the back mountain!”

There was a faint smile on Granny Witch Doctor’s face, but she didn’t say anything. She just watched the leader wait for him to make a decision.

Tang Guo didn’t care what anyone said. She was already assessing the injuries of three people. Apart from Jiu Chen’s head injury that was a little difficult to deal with, the injuries of the other two were not difficult to treat.

She looked up and met Bai Ye’s burning gaze.

He asked, “Can you?”

He knew in his heart that she had the ability, because she had healed his injuries.

But he asked her anyway, because he respected her decision. As much as he wanted her to help him rescue the males in the tribe, he was selfish and unwilling to force her.

Tang Guo thought for a moment and nodded. “I can try, but I can’t promise that I’ll definitely save them.”

As soon as she spoke, Bai Ye’s eyes lit up with joy.

Granny Witch Doctor was also greatly relieved. Then she bowed to the southeast sky. “Beast God, bless you. The female Tang Guo can definitely bring blessings to our tribe!”

Tang Guo grimaced. There was no need to put such a tall hat on her head, was there?

Except for them, and Milo and the others, the rest of the tribe looked anxious. Even the three warriors’ father, Amu, was ready to bury them.

They cried uncontrollably. No matter how much they objected to being wronged, they did not dare to compete with the leader and Granny Witch Doctor.

Tang Guo first got someone to move Jiu Chen and the others to the cave. “For the sake of convenience, let them stay in a cave. I’ll go to the mountain and pick herbs.”

Bai Ye immediately stood beside her. “I’ll come with you,” he said.

Tang Guo was puzzled. “They’re back from hunting and need to share so much prey. Besides, don’t you want to investigate their injuries again?”

Bai Ye said firmly, “There’s no hurry about that. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
