Immortal Herb Saves a Life, Crisis Averted

Hu Shu's heart was burning with anxiety, and his pace quickened. He looked ahead, as if he could already see the outline of the Human Race settlement. Yet, a trace of unease lingered in his heart, unsure of what awaited him. Finally, the settlement's gate appeared before him. Hu Shu took a deep breath and strode inside.

The moment he stepped into the settlement, Hu Shu felt a suffocating atmosphere. A faint mist permeated the air, making the entire place appear exceptionally gloomy. The sound of pained groans reached his ears, each like a sharp blade piercing Hu Shu's heart. He quickened his steps, rushing towards where the Human Race had gathered.

"Lord Hu Shu has returned!" someone shouted. The somewhat chaotic crowd instantly found their anchor. They all crowded around, their eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety. Hu Shu looked at the familiar faces before him, a pang of sorrow in his heart. He raised the Immortal Herb in his hand, which emanated a peculiar glow, and declared loudly, "Everyone, don't worry! With this Immortal Herb, we can surely save you all!"

With that, Hu Shu immediately began preparing to brew the Immortal Herb according to the system's instructions. He found a large stone pot and placed it over a blazing bonfire. The instant the Immortal Herb was placed in the pot, a rich aroma filled the air. The scent was fresh and pleasant, as if carrying endless vitality. Hu Shu focused intently on controlling the heat, his eyes fixed on the Immortal Herb in the stone pot, sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.

The surrounding Human Race members watched quietly, no one speaking, only the crackling sound of the bonfire. Hu Shu could feel their fervent gazes, filled with trust and hope. He silently vowed in his heart that no matter what, he would save these tribespeople.

As the Immortal Herb slowly simmered in the pot, the initially clear liquid gradually turned emerald green, its glow intensifying. Hu Shu knew the medicinal soup was almost ready. He picked up a nearby ladle, stirring gently, feeling the thickness of the soup. Finally, he felt the time was right, carefully scooping out the medicinal soup and pouring it into individual ceramic bowls.

"Everyone line up, one bowl per person, drink it quickly!" Hu Shu held out a bowl of medicinal soup to a sick tribesperson beside him. The person took the soup, their hand trembling slightly. Hu Shu gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, you'll get better after drinking this." The person nodded, tilted their head back, and downed the medicinal soup in one gulp.

As soon as the soup entered his stomach, the person felt a warm current rise from his abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his body. His previously weak body gradually regained strength, and his disordered Spiritual Energy began to stabilize. He looked at Hu Shu in surprise, his eyes filled with grateful tears, "Lord Hu Shu, I feel so much better!"

Seeing the change in this person, the other sick tribespeople also stepped forward, taking the medicinal soup and drinking it. For a time, the settlement was filled with the aroma of medicine and the exclamations of the crowd. Everyone who drank the medicinal soup gradually recovered their health, and their Spiritual Energy returned to normal. The oppressive atmosphere was gradually replaced by joy.

Hu Shu watched as everyone gradually improved, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, a look of relief on his face. However, he knew this crisis was only temporarily resolved. Those people from the Heavenly Origin Sect would certainly not give up, and the Human Race could not remain in a state of passive defense forever.

At this moment, sunlight streamed through the clouds in the settlement's sky, dispelling the gloom. The warm sunlight shone on everyone, making them feel incredibly comfortable. Hu Shu stood in the center of the crowd, looking at their vibrant appearances, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts. He knew that for the Human Race to survive, they must take the initiative and break free from this predicament. But how? This was a difficult problem before him.

Hu Shu looked up into the distance, his gaze firm and deep. He silently pondered strategies in his heart while also preparing for the challenges ahead. Although the road ahead was filled with the unknown and danger, he believed that as long as the Human Race united as one, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.
