At such close range, Jian Mo could smell the blood. Judging from the intensity of the smell, Bei Ya was probably seriously injured.

Jian Mo waved worriedly to Ying'ao and Jiujiu flying in the sky, signaling them to come down.

Ying'ao landed first, and Jian Mo quickly took out a mask, gloves, and a first-aid kit from the basket on its back. After putting them on, she ran towards Bei Ya.

Wu Jiong transformed back into human form, donned an animal skin skirt, and followed behind Jian Mo.

Soon, Jian Mo stood in front of Meng An and saw the scar that he had reopened, and couldn't help but gasp.

Bei Ya lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Jian Mo, this is a fresh wound, can it be treated?"

The rest of the caravan also witnessed the situation.

Before Jian Mo could refuse, Yan Dun, the old chieftain of the True Scarlet Tribe, couldn't bear it and spoke up for him, "Doctor Jian Mo, please help me think of a solution."

After the initial shock, the others chimed in, "That's right, Doctor Jian Mo, please help us. Just tell us what you need us to do."

Everyone looked at Jian Mo with anticipation.

Jian Mo wanted to help too; no matter what, Bei Ya's wound needed to be treated.

Jian Mo composed herself and said, "Let's go to the river first, start a fire to boil water, and I'll clean my wounds first."

Everyone agreed in unison, hoisted the person onto their backs, and turned to walk towards the river.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, the people of the Riverside Tribe immediately busied themselves, taking down large pots to boil water, preparing to assist Jian Mo.

Jian Mo had the surgical instruments sterilized, and then spoke earnestly with Bei Ya.

Jian Mo said to Bei Ya, "The injuries on your face are too severe. After treatment, the condition may improve, or it may worsen. I can't guarantee the results."

Bei Ya: "This is already the worst-case scenario. Even if it gets worse, it can only be the same as bad; it can't get any worse."

Jian Mo nodded. "It's good that you're mentally prepared. There are two options now. One is to stitch up your recent cut to allow it to heal better. The other is to cut off all the existing scars, stitch them up again, and let it heal all over once more. However, the newly healed wound may still leave a scar."

Bei Ya: "I can accept either!"

Jian Mo looked at the other members of the Meng'an Tribe, who replied, "We're all fine with it. Thank you no matter what the outcome."

Jian Mo: "Then let's prepare for the surgery."

Then, Jian Mo said to the chieftains of Yun Long, "You can head to the Snow Foot Tribe first. Wu Jiong and I will finish dealing with things here before we catch up with you."

Yun Long: "No rush, we can wait with you."

Yan Dun: "That's right, let us stay here. If there's anything we need, we can help out."

Given the urgency of the situation, Jian Mo couldn't offer much advice, so she nodded to them and went about her business.

The people of the Riverside Tribe quickly boiled water, Jian Mo prepared an anesthetic, which they then had boiled.

Meanwhile, Jian Mo asked everyone to set up a simple operating table by the river, and then she personally made the table and sterilized the relevant instruments.

To avoid infection, and also to prevent the huge visual impact from leaving a psychological scar, Jian Mo made sure everyone else left after she was ready.

Everyone listened.

Under the sunlight, Bei Ya sat on the hospital bed, drinking the slightly cooled anesthetic with a death-defying air, before falling into a deep sleep.

Jian Mo took a few deep breaths, composed herself, and retrieved the sterilized Long-Tailed Beast tendon from the saline solution beside her, preparing for the surgery.

Jian Mo specially found the smallest instrument and split the thick, long animal tendon into several strands. She carefully cut away the scars that had already grown back on Bei Ya and meticulously stitched them up again.

Thanks to Jian Mo's current physical abilities, which are close to those of a sub-orc, his eyes are sharp and his hands are steady, making up for some of the shortcomings of the equipment.

Jian Mo performed the surgery very carefully and quickly entered a state of focus.

While Jian Mo was undergoing surgery here, the others waited anxiously downstream.

After waiting for a while, someone spoke up, "I wonder if we can be of any help?"

Once the conversation started, the others began to speak:

"Given our capabilities, let's just wait here. Doing nothing will be enough; that's good enough."

"I think we can't help Doctor Jian Mo, but we could find some herbs to heal the scars of that orc."

"Our tribe has this; the Red Rock Grass is quite effective at removing scars."

The people from the Red Zheng Tribe say that the scar removal treatment is effective.

Fearing people wouldn't believe him, he specifically pulled some people from the Riverside Tribe together. "Do you remember Tai Yan? When Tai Yan had boils on his back before, he went to see Doctor Jian Mo for treatment. They cut open his skin and squeezed out a lot of pus. Now his wound has healed, and you can't see any scars."

The people of the Riverside Tribe remembered and nodded.

Others from the Red Zheng Tribe said:

"I saw him swimming when he Tai Yan, and there really are no scars anymore. If you hadn't brought it up today, I would have forgotten he had surgery."

"The cub might be recovering well, but Red Rock Grass doesn't do any harm either. You could ask Doctor Jian Mo if you can apply it to Bei Ya."

"I wonder if there's any Red Rock Grass around here?"

"Yes, I saw it this morning."

Everyone was talking at once, the people of the Meng'an Tribe expressing their gratitude while also feeling anxious.

Finally, after discussions among the various tribes, everyone decided to go out and find Red Rock Grass.

They felt uneasy waiting here; they would feel much better if they could find some medicinal herbs to help them.

Apart from the people of the Red Zheng Tribe, no one else recognized the Red Rock Grass.

So, after discussion, everyone split into eleven teams. Except for one team that stayed in the camp to guard it, the other ten teams were led by the Red Zheng Tribe to search for Red Rock Grass in all directions.

Bei Ya fell into a deep sleep, unaware that many people were working tirelessly to heal his injuries.

Jian Mo performed the surgery on Bei Ya diligently, without stopping despite feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and experiencing back pain.

Bei Ya had many scars on his face, large and small scars overlapping each other. Jian Mo did a very meticulous job in order to preserve his tissue as much as possible, which took a lot of time.
