Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Yan Li
Although regrettable, Yadang also felt that Gaiyin had a point.
What they needed were Beastmen who could swear loyalty to their tribe, not those who harbored hatred or had grudges against them.
After all, there were quite a number of secrets in the tribe. Some risks weren’t worth taking, while others couldn’t be taken at all.
...
The Piercing Stone Beastman watched as the three of them were about to vanish from his sight. However, they did not stop.
Feeling increasingly anxious, he finally called out.
"Wait! Wait! When did I say I wasn’t willing to join your tribe? Come back!"
The next second, two figures zipped back in front of the Piercing Stone Beastman.
Piercing Stone Beastman: ...
Su Tang excitedly clung to Gaiyin’s arm. The speed was exhilarating! If the timing were appropriate, she would definitely persuade Gaiyin to do it again!
Gaiyin patted Su Tang’s head to calm her and looked seriously at the Piercing Stone Beastman.
"You and your tribe members can join the tribe if you can uphold what we’ve said earlier."
The Piercing Stone Beastman nodded.
"Alright, I agree. But I have a few questions for you!"
"Go ahead!"
"Your tribe has a doctor and herbal medicine, right?"
Su Tang was slightly taken aback. After glancing at Gaiyin, she nodded. "Yes, but to treat the illness, we need to see the patients. You can also describe the symptoms first."
The Piercing Stone Beastman glanced at Su Tang in surprise then turned to look at Gaiyin, not knowing what to say.
Su Tang: ...
Anyone with eyes could see that this Beastman simply didn’t trust her! He didn’t trust her!
What a blow!
Gaiyin suppressed a chuckle, gave Su Tang’s head another rub for comfort, then introduced Su Tang to the Beastman.
"Not only is she our holy maiden, but she also studied medical skills under our tribe doctor. And don’t forget, she is the messenger sent by the Beast God."
Upon hearing this, the Piercing Stone Beastman’s eyes filled with respect as he performed a common salute of the Beastman Continent to Su Tang.
However, it seemed that he hadn’t eaten for a long time. He was so thin that he looked like a skeleton and was even shaky when performing the salute. Su Tang was so scared that she wanted to go and support him.
After the salute, the Piercing Stone Beastman said respectfully, "Miss Holy Maiden, my apologies!"
Su Tang quickly waved her hands, "It’s alright, please rise. Now, tell me more about the illness in your tribe."
Standing up with difficulty, the Piercing Stone Beastman nodded painfully, "My name is Yan Li, the current chief of the Piercing Stone Tribe. During a heavy rain, a cave-in injured our former chief. I’ve been leading the tribe, on his orders, hiding underground. But as there are too many of us, the food we had stored was quickly depleted. We have been starving for a long time before you arrived."
His voice began to tremble as he talked.
"It’s all my fault. If the old chief hadn’t been injured saving my brother, he wouldn’t be in such a state. With nothing to eat for so long and such serious injuries, I’m afraid he might not last until the next rainy season..."
Yan Li’s emotions got the best of him and he started rambling, making it difficult for Su Tang to understand where the old chief was injured, and what kind of injuries he sustained.
Gaiyin, who was standing on the side, raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested, and asked.
"So, you’ve been living underground all this time? Does this mean that there’s another cave beneath this one?"
