The Classroom
The cubs rushed forward, crying and shouting, "Chieftain, Jian Mo— "
Jian Mo reached out and caught the little one who ran to the front. "Are you alright?"
Wu Jiong's eyes quickly swept over the cubs, and he soon noticed. "Where's Bai Lu?"
Of the twenty-one missing cubs in the tribe, twenty are here, except for one cub named Bai Lu.
Bai Lu's beast form was a small white fox, only slightly older than the youngest Banjiu, Jian Mo immediately remembered.
Hearing Wu Jiong's question, the cubs cried even harder.
Jiang Xing, the eldest, cried and said, "Bai Lu has disappeared. We brought Jiujiu to look for him, but we couldn't find him."
Jiujiu: "Eek."
Jiujiu sat on the ground, looking down with the whites of her eyes showing, and her ears drooping, looking both frustrated and scared.
Ying'ao over and licked Jiujiu's head.
The two enormous Flying-Winged Beast huddled together, looking at the other cubs.
Wu Jiong asked what happened.
The little ones cried and said:
"Everything was fine when we went out to play hide-and-seek this afternoon, but then Bai Lu disappeared."
"I've searched for a long time, but I still can't find him."
"I called for Jiujiu, but I can't find Jiujiu."
Jian Mo realize that Bai Lu had gone missing. The other cubs were scared and secretly called out to Jiujiu, hoping to find Bai Lu with Jiujiu's keen sense of smell.
Jiujiu is very good at finding food, but not so good at finding baby animals.
It and its cubs wandered around in the forest, but not only did they not find Bai Lu, they also got lost.
Other parents rushed over upon hearing the news.
The little ones cried harder and harder, almost unable to breathe.
Bai Lu's two fathers didn't scold the cubs too much, but only asked where Bai Lu had gone missing.
The little ones kept crying, leading the adults to the place where Bai Lu had gone missing.
They were nervous and scared, and with the darkness falling, they couldn't quite remember. Several of the little ones remembered different places, and in the end, no one knew where Bai Lu had gotten lost.
Wu Jiong patted the head of the little white wolf Zhou Dao, who was crying the most, to comfort him, then transformed back into a giant wolf. For the first time, he used his keen sense of smell to sniff around and search for Bai Lu's figure.
The other orcs also transformed back into their animal forms, sniffing and calling out.
Everyone was very worried and their hearts were heavy, fearing that Bai Lu would be carried off by a carnivore.
Theoretically, there shouldn't be any dangerous carnivores around the tribe, but it's hard to say.
Bai Lu is still too young; if he were to encounter real danger, no one might even notice.
Cries, shouts, and firelight flickered together in the forest.
Everyone shouted as they searched.
The little ones followed behind, crying.
This was the first time Jian Mo had encountered something like this, and she felt heavy-hearted and flustered.
Riding on the giant wolf, he hoped for the first time that there really was Beast God here, and that the Beast God could truly appear and help him find Bai Lu.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, the giant wolf that Wu Jiong had transformed into suddenly began to sniff and run.
He ran to a tree and looked around.
"In the branches," the giant wolf said. "Bai Lu is in the tree."
Jian Mo looked up and, sure enough, saw a bit of white fur among the branches, sending a chill down her spine.
The giant wolf transformed back into human form, put its arm around Jian Mo's waist to help him steady himself, and then wrapped a fur skirt around his neck. "I'll go up and take a look."
Jian Mo nodded repeatedly.
Wu Jiong nimbly climbed the tree and, from a branch several meters above the ground, picked up a soft, fluffy little white fox.
"Still alive," Wu Jiong said, "But injured and unconscious."
It's good that you're still alive.
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Put it down so I can see it."
As he spoke, Jian Mo shouted into the woods again, "We've found Bai Lu —everyone, stop looking—"
A cacophony of roars instantly echoed from the woods, "Roar--"
Someone shouted, "I'll go tell Bai Lu's two fathers if he's still alive!"
Jian Mo: "Still alive, but slightly injured."
Another joyful roar echoed through the woods, startling the birds and beasts hiding there into the distance.
Chapter 115 Classroom
When Bai Lu's two fathers arrived, Jian Mo was checking on Bai Lu's condition.
The little white fox had already lost consciousness; its right front paw was swollen badly, and the wound from the poisonous insect sting was clearly visible.
He must have been stung to lose consciousness.
Jian Mo didn't bring her stethoscope, so she could only press her head against the little white fox's chest to listen carefully.
His two fathers were very anxious. "Doctor Jian Mo, how is it now?"
Jian Mo: "Wu Jiong has gone to gather herbs and will be back soon."
As they were talking, a "chirp" sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw Ban Ming jumping off Ying'ao's back, holding a bunch of herbs in his hand.
Ban Ming: "I know where to find this kind of antidote herb, so I went and picked it up. Jian Mo, do you think it will be useful?"
Jian Mo took it and, by the light of the torch, examined it. "This is so useful, I need this herb."
As she spoke, Jian Mo was about to crush the powder and apply it to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu's father said anxiously, "I'll do it."
As he spoke, he extended his sharp claws, rubbed the herbs twice, and crushed them into powder.
Jian Mo grabbed Bai Lu's little hand. "Just apply it directly to the wound."
After applying the herbal medicine and bandaging him up, Jian Mo said to Bai Lu's two fathers, "Take him back to the tribe first. Give Bai Lu two bowls of detoxifying herbal soup later."
Bai Lu's two fathers did not hesitate and quickly picked up Bai Lu and ran back to the tribe.
Jian Mo said to Ban Ming, "I'll go back to the tribe first. You wait here. When Wu Jiong returns, please tell him for me."
Ban Ming: "How are you going to get back?"
Jian Mo: "I'll ride Ying'ao back."
As she spoke, Jian Mo beckoned, and Ying'ao walked over and lay down on the ground.
