Arrival (Continued)

The two walked home hand in hand, discussing their next steps along the way.

Although bringing Fen Hui to the doctor would cause delays, Jian Mo still wanted to give it a try.

If they hadn't known that the Stored Star Tribe had such a powerful witch doctor, they wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. But now that they knew, they couldn't live with themselves if they didn't try to help.

Jian Mo and her group's decision was accepted by the majority of the Riverside Tribe.

Qing Kuo said, "You can go ahead. We'll take care of your animals."

De Jiang replied, "We're here in the tribe, so it's alright if you're delayed for a few days."

The people of the Riverside Tribe supported their trip, and the people of the Haizuo Tribe had even less objection.

The chieftain of the Haizuo Tribe solemnly said, "You have already helped us so much, we can't put all the burden on you. We will provide the supplies ourselves."

As they spoke, the chief of the Haizuo Tribe sent someone forward. "These are the cotton cloth and metal blocks we obtained in the exchange. Take them with you and use them for now. If they're not enough, we'll get more when we return."

His words made the people of the Riverside Tribe appear more friendly.

Wu Jiong said in a deep voice, "Let's make this clear first: we'll take people there to treat the illness, but we can't guarantee a good outcome. If the result isn't good, we've done our best."

People from other tribes who were watching shouted from the sidelines, "Chief Wu Jiong is right. People from your Haizuo Tribe should be prepared. We can't let our hero down."

The chieftain of the Haizuo Tribe swore. "Even if something goes wrong, we will bear the consequences and will never blame Chief Wu Jiong and Doctor Jian Mo. If we have any ill intentions, may the Beast God despise us."

Yun Long to the side, said, "We all heard that, so we'll stand here as witnesses."

Chief Kang Ying of the Ice River Tribe also said, "Whether the Beast God dislikes us or not, we don't know, but if you have other ideas, our Ice River Tribe will not accept such a friendly tribe."

Yun Long: "Our Mengshui Tribe is too."

The chieftain of the Haizuo Tribe said earnestly, "No, we are not that kind of tribe."

Since the illness caused by the Fen Hui could not be delayed any longer, and everyone had already agreed, Jian Mo and the others set off.

This time, Wu Jiong rode on Ying'ao's back with Fen Hui, while Jian Mo rode alone on Jiujiu.

The Ying'ao is quite powerful; it flies very smoothly, and it's comfortable to ride on.

Jiujiu is very obedient; Jian Mo can sit on it all by herself.

Amidst everyone's blessings, the three of them embarked on their journey to seek medical treatment.

Because they had to carry Fen Hui, they didn't rest at all this time. They basically just traveled, ate, and slept every day. If they encountered unfamiliar orcs or sub-orcs on the road, they would stop and ask for directions.

Some tribes don't know where the Stored Star Tribe is, but knowing if there's such a tribe nearby can help them eliminate incorrect options.

As Jian Mo and his companions traveled, the orcs and sub-orcs they encountered all recognized them, saying they had heard of Doctor Jian Mo's reputation.

Seeing that they were seeking medical treatment with others, we became even friendlier to them and provided them with various kinds of food along the way.

In this way, not only did they not finish the food they brought, but they also found plenty of food along the way, so they didn't even need to hunt every day.

Although Fen Hui was physically weak and looked like he was on the verge of death, his spirits had improved considerably.

That evening, as they rested on a hillside, Fen Hui, wrapped in an animal skin blanket, said, "Doctor Jian Mo, if I recover this time, I'd like to become your student and learn medicine from you."

Jian Mo encouraged him, "Okay. I need to assess others first, but I'll accept you directly. Then we can study under that very skilled witch doctor together."

Fen Hui, somewhat shy but earnest, said, "Doctor Jian Mo, you are the most powerful witch doctor in my heart."

Wu Jiong glanced at him from the side.

Fen Hui added, "Chief Wu Jiong is the most powerful orc hero in my heart. You two are a match made in heaven."

Wu Jiong was satisfied and poured him some medicinal paste. "Drink it while blowing on it, it'll get cold soon."

Fen Hui reached out from under the blanket and took the medicine paste. "Thank you, Chief Wu Jiong."

Their journey was generally hopeful, but they endured a difficult time along the way.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong already felt exhausted, not to mention Fen Hui. After this journey, his cheekbones had become prominent, and his eyes appeared large and bright, but the whites of his eyes were rather cloudy, making him look a bit scary.

Jian Mo patted the tall, thin young man on the shoulder, sincerely hoping he would survive.

They flew for about six days, and it wasn't until the morning of the seventh day that they finally arrived at the legendary Stored Star Tribe.

This is a large tribe on the plains, with many buildings, and it's clear at a glance that it's a wealthy tribe.

At the same time, the Stored Star Tribe was the first tribe they had ever seen without patrolling orcs.

The people of the Stored Star Tribe were working in twos and threes in front of their houses. When they saw Jian Mo and his group riding down on their Flying-Winged Beast, they all looked up.

A sub-orc called out to them, "Have you come seeking medical help?"

Jian Mo: "How did you know?"

Naya Orc: "I can tell from your formation that you're here to see the Witch Doctor Xing Yi, right? We'll go and call for help later."

Jian Mo: "Thank you. Where should we park our Flying-Winged Beast? Can we park them anywhere in the open?"

Another sub-orc said, "You should just stay here. Make sure the Flying-Winged Beast are properly tethered. There are a lot of us here, and it wouldn't be good if one of the Flying-Winged Beast hurts someone."

Jiujiu seemed to understand what she meant, and let out a long, unconvinced cry, "Heh--"

The orc chuckled, "Still angry? Looks like a big guy with only spiritual energy. We were just arguing; it's better for everyone to be safer."

As they were chatting, Wu Jiong carried the Fen Hui down.

Fen Hui was too weak to move, and its arms were too weak to straighten; it could only hook itself up.
