Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Acid Rain
Glancing at the sky, Su Tang warned everyone, "Don’t stray too far! The acid rain should be coming soon!"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
No sooner had she finished speaking, than a bean-sized, pale yellow raindrop slapped against Yadang’s arm. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Immediately after, a dense shower of raindrops fell, hitting the beastmen on their hands, legs, and arms.
Su Tang exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, it’s raining! Everyone, hurry into the cave, don’t stay outside! Hurry up!"
At the very moment the first raindrop fell, Gaiyin had instinctively shielded Su Tang tightly within his arms and then rushed into the cave with her, beating all the others.
Fortunately, Su Tang, dressed in long beast skin clothes and pants, avoided the rain.
Yadang, without a word, followed them closely with a grim face!
Despite his quick reaction, he was still a step too late. He had been spotted by the acid rain.
The females and cubs of the tribe, all dressed in long beast skin clothes and pants had been hit by the rain, some on their hands, some on their faces, though not too much.
Only the beastmen, who still wore the beast skin skirts due to the shortage of beast skin in the tribe, calmly walked into the cave. Their pace made Su Tang anxious!
Because the rain couldn’t reach inside the cave, they didn’t bother to move back the big rock that was originally blocking the entrance.
Su Tang, in a state of slight panic, said, "Anyone who got drenched in acid rain, whether cub, female, or beastman, clean yourself quickly with fresh water!"
Dunshan vigorously shook off the droplets from his body.
He, somewhat puzzled, scratched his head and said, "I don’t feel anything unusual. Isn’t this just ordinary rain? Why are we so scared?"
Aige chimed in on the side, "Yes, I don’t feel anything unusual either. But let’s do as the saintess says, let’s clean ourselves!"
Su Tang stood in front of a large stone tank, calling on the cubs and females who were splashed on their faces with rainwater to clean themselves first!
Acid rain could irritate the cornea and respiratory mucosa, leading to red eye and bronchitis, and in severe cases, it could induce lung disease. So, it must be washed off as soon as possible!
Since there was limited fresh water in the tribe, they only used one stone tank. The beastmen lined up to clean themselves only after all the females and cubs had washed themselves.
Halfway through the cleaning, the skin of the beastmen who had been in the queue began to redden.
Dunshan exclaimed in surprise, "Aige, look quickly! My skin has turned red! And it feels hot too!"
Aige held up his own arm next to Dunshan’s. They both shared identical symptoms. He said calmly, "Me too, but mine hurts a bit."
The giddy Bu Sen joined the two of them, his entire body nearly as red as a spicy little lobster!
He continuously fanned himself with his palms, saying, "I feel as if I’ve been buried in fire, it’s so hot and painful!"
Dunshan was quite shocked.
Why had Bu Sen turned this red?
Would he, too, turn out like Bu Sen soon?
Dunshan exchanged a look with Aige, and they both started pushing their way forward through the queue.
"Make way! Make way!"
"Let me wash first! I’m all red!"
"Move away! I’m redder than you! Ah, it hurts!"
"The ones in front, be quick! I feel like I’m getting roasted!"
Frowning, Gaiyin roared loudly, "Line up! One by one!"
The beastmen immediately quietened down a bit, but they were as restless as ants on a hot pan, standing nervously at their spot.
From the fear etched on their faces, it was clear that they were truly petrified!
