Chapter 99: Accept the Invitation
safe, Ripples sipped her juice and rested while waiting for the vampires in the bar to return.In fact, he could hear every little movement outside clearly. Half an hour later, Lance walked into the ba...At this moment, a roar of anger came from afar, clearly the injured bear tribe beastman's clan was on their way, roaring to warn the two of them.
"Alright, there's no need to dwell on it now. Let's wait for his tribe to arrive and then talk."
He nodded, but still watched the direction from which the roar came with great anxiety.
"Don't worry too much, we didn't cross any boundaries, they shouldn't give us a hard time."
As soon as the ripples' words fell, a "boom boom" sound echoed from afar. It felt like the entire ground was trembling. Such a commotion made Dugu swallow nervously.
Moments later, six bear-folk warriors charged to the riverbank. Their fur colors varied, but they were all extraordinarily burly, at least three meters tall by visual estimation. Leading them was a white bear.
Six grizzly bears saw the lone elk and ripples on the opposite bank, and the members of their clan lying beside them. They charged directly into the river, crossed the water to the other side, and cautiously approached the elk and the ripples.
He was incredibly nervous, but he still stood firmly in front of Ripples, afraid that the Bear Clan beastmen would attack them without asking questions.
"Hello! I am Ripples, a female beastkin. I accidentally discovered your tribe fighting a large crocodile in the water. There was another crocodile about to ambush him from behind. As a fellow descendant of the Beast Gods, I had my followers intervene and single-handedly kill the other crocodile, saving him."
He was seriously injured, his leg broken as well. Under these limited conditions, I could only do a simple treatment. He's still unconscious and shouldn't be moved.
Ripples walked out from behind Duo, explaining the current situation in a few words.
Facing them, the beastman's totem flashed and transformed into a sturdy man who was two meters and two tall. He scanned his surroundings before his gaze fell on the beastman lying face up. Only then did he speak:
"Thank you for helping us save Meng! We're taking him back to the village now to have the shaman treat him."
The man spoke decisively and then nodded to his companion behind him.
The two black bears behind him also immediately transformed into human form and slowly approached the bear-men known as the ferocious Bear Clan.
The ripples and the lone wolf retreated, creating space, distancing themselves from the horde of bear-kin. They didn't want to be mistaken for enemies by this group.
You better make a stretcher to carry him back to his tribe. Whether you carry him or put him on your back, it's bad for his freshly mended leg. When he gets back to the tribe, the shaman will have to reset his leg again.
Ripples didn't want these two black bears to ruin her hard work, so she kindly reminded them.
"Stretcher How do you make one"
The orc at the head curiously asked.
Upon hearing this, Lian Yi immediately understood that such a thing had not yet been created. She turned back to Duo and said:
"Alone, you go and cut down two ironwood tree trunks the thickness of your arm. They should be straight and as long as his height. Also, get some strong ramie fiber."
After hearing this, Du listened attentively and nodded. He then looked at the leader of the orcs opposite him, who immediately arranged for another companion to join them in searching for these items.
The iron tree and ramie mentioned by ripples are the most common plants on the Beast World Continent, and they are also the most widely used. So in less than a quarter of an hour, the two beastmen carried things back to the river bank.
Because six bear-tribe ogres had just arrived, the beasts attracted by the smell of blood immediately lowered their flags and silently retreated into the depths of the forest, disappearing.
"Humph!"
The leader, a white bear-man, only let out a cold snort. He didn't mind turning these beasts into today's prey. If not for their injuries being too severe, they wouldn't have the energy to do so; their companions would have charged out long ago.
Upon seeing the materials, Ripples instructed them to make a simple stretcher right there.
Two ironwood pieces are placed parallel to each other, with the width equal to the width of a person's body. Then, hemp twine is wound between the two ironwood pieces, requiring dense and solid winding. This side is done better individually. It takes less than half an hour to complete.
Then everyone carefully lifted the badly wounded Meng onto their shoulders. Immediately, two bear-tribe orcs followed Ripples' instructions and gently lifted Meng, crossing the river smoothly. They then started running at full speed towards their tribe.
However, before leaving, the leading bear-man still invited Ripple.
"I am Hao of the Bear Clan. I formally invite you and your followers into our territory. Please come with us to the tribe. You saved Meng, and the Bear Clan wants to thank you!"
"The treatment of the wounds belongs to you. If something happens on the way, I hope you can help me. After returning to the tribe, please tell the Shaman how you treated the wounds. Are you willing"
Hao's attitude was still very sincere, and with the help of Meng, Lianyi wasn't afraid of what the Xiong Clan beastmen might do to them. She smiled and nodded to accept the invitation, after all, they had planned to enter the Xiong Clan territory anyway.
Then, the group set off on their return journey. Lian Yi still sat on Du Bai's back, now transformed into a black snake, trailing behind the rest of the party.
After rushing for a whole day, as the sun began to set, they had to find a place to rest. The forest at night was full of dangers, and even orcs dared not travel after dark.
They went straight to the cave where they usually spent the night when hunting. It still held some of their usual things, in case they were out hunting too late to make it back home and needed a place to stay for the night.
After everyone put the still unconscious Meng down, Lianyi immediately stepped forward to check his wounds for signs of infection or inflammation.
After all, the humid and hot weather of summer is a breeding ground for bacteria. It wouldn't be a big deal normally, but now that his wounds are so severe and he has lost so much blood, Ripple fears his resistance will drop, leading to secondary harm.
Fortunately, the orcs have thick skin and flesh. At present, there seems to be no sign of inflammation. Because the orcs carrying the stretcher are very careful, the stitched wounds also show no signs of splitting. Ripple felt much relieved and immediately told everyone this good news.
Ho then visibly relaxed, and then directly asked:
"Right now I'm feeling dizzy and can't eat meat to replenish my energy. What should I do"
If you can't eat the meat, then drink the meat broth.
Ringlets spoke directly and then ordered them to hunt a unicorn, as she was going to make a bone broth.
The barbecue made by the Bear Clan didn't catch his eye, so he hunted a red-maned boar himself. Then, following Ripple's method before, he made a whole roasted pig. As it was roasting, he brushed it with diluted snake fruit jam. The sweet and sour aroma of the meat wafted straight to the noses of several Bear Clan beastmen. Their eyes remained fixed on the red-maned boar.
Seeing the barbecue with jackfruit jam alone, she was also reminded and dug some out directly. She used hot water to rinse it open and let Hao feed it to Meng to drink it all down.
"This is the Black Snake Clan's specialty, the snake fruit. It strengthens the body and keeps it healthy. Drinking a lot now should be just right."
Hao nodded, but still cautiously sniffed it with his nose, then took a small sip. After confirming it was alright, he slowly gulped it down. Luckily, Meng still had the instinct to swallow. After drinking a small wooden cup, his complexion eased somewhat.
"The injuries are stable for now, don't worry too much, come try some grilled meat!"
The ripples of sound fell, and besides Hao, the other five members of the Bear Clan surrounded him.ter and immediately reported back.What is the crime of capturing ripplesCount Rance swirled the wine in his glass, calmly asking."She was accused of causing havoc in a bio-company's lab, resulting in...
