Chapter 638 - 432: Is There Another Tiger?
"Yue, have you seen a situation like this before?" the Snow Tiger Witch asked worriedly.
Wu Yue frowned. "No. There are no injuries on their bodies, but it’s very strange that they won’t wake up. I also just checked, and there are no Poisonous Insects."
The two discussed it a while longer before parting ways and returning home.
"System, have you found anything yet?"
"Dog Host, don’t rush me. There are too many books. This system needs some time."
Wu Yue knew she couldn’t rush this, so she could only be patient.
’Forget it. I’ll go bring in the plant fibers from outside first.’
After drying in the sun all morning, all the plant fibers had turned from a vibrant green to a dry, light yellow.
Wu Yue took out a strand of plant fiber and gently pulled it apart, managing to split it into even finer threads.
"Lord Wuyue, someone else has fallen into a deep sleep!"
Before she could even process her excitement over this discovery, an anxious shout rang out from outside the courtyard.
Wu Yue put the plant fibers down, grabbed her basket, and left.
When she returned to where the two Beastman Warriors lay unconscious, she was surprised to see that this time, the one who had fallen into a deep sleep was a small, frail, and skinny child.
’This... isn’t one of our tribe?’
The Beastman nodded. "This child is one of the tribe members we just brought back. He was fine when we returned yesterday. Just after you went back today, his Father and Amu carried him over like this, unconscious."
As he spoke, his large hand brushed aside the child’s messy hair. "I already checked him. The child has no injuries on his body. I also asked his Father and Amu; he hadn’t been injured before this either."
Wu Yue fell silent. ’It seems this has nothing to do with injuries, then.’
She turned to the Beastman Warrior. "Where are the child’s Father and Amu?"
The Beastman pointed outside the house. "They’re right outside."
"Tell them to come in. I have some questions for them."
’If it’s not related to an injury, then it must be the food, the water, or something they came into contact with. That makes the range of possibilities far too broad.’
The two Pure Humans were brought into the room, feeling anxious, afraid, and worried. Their legs felt weak.
They huddled together, heads bowed meekly, not daring to even glance at their surroundings.
Wu Yue couldn’t help but sigh. "Don’t be afraid. I just need to ask you some questions. This is to help my tribesmen and your child get better sooner."
To ease their fear, Wu Yue infused her already gentle voice with a trace of witch power. It seeped into their bodies, causing them to relax as the weariness of past days instantly vanished.
The Beastman Warrior standing to the side glanced at the couple with envy. "This is a blessing from Lord Wuyue. Just answer her questions honestly, and you’ll be fine."
’A blessing! A legendary blessing!’
’We were just blessed by a great witch!’
The woman and her partner exchanged a look, both seeing the same determination in each other’s eyes.
’Yes, from this day on, we’re never bathing again.’
"Tell me, what did your child eat today?"
Perhaps it was because of the blessing, but the woman’s heart was now filled with reverence and awe for Wu Yue. Though she still seemed timid, she carefully recounted everything the child had eaten that day.
Wu Yue held a pen, carefully recording everything in her notebook.
She followed up with questions on various other topics, writing down every detail they provided.
After the couple left, Wu Yue reviewed her notes one more time.
She turned to the Beastman Warrior. "Go and find the things that couple just mentioned. Bring back as much as you can. And take a few more men with you. If you encounter something like this again, it will be too dangerous for you to be alone."
Her last sentence instantly crushed the Beastman Warrior’s plan to go solo.
’She’s right. What if I go alone and end up like my two companions... especially out in the dangerous forest...’
’Then there’d really be no one to look after me, would there?’
’Absolutely not. I will firmly resist going solo.’ "Okay, I’ll go gather some men right now."
The woman who was caring for the two Beastman Warriors saw the small, dirty child lying there and thought the poor little thing was absolutely pitiful.
She immediately busied herself with sewing him clothes from a Beast Skin and giving him a good wash. By the time the child was finally resting quietly, the sky had already darkened.
Thanks to the two Beastman Warriors, the child from the small tribe also began to enjoy the good life of minced meat, fruit puree, and steamed egg custard.
The members of his small tribe who came to visit from outside were so envious their eyes turned red. They wished they could rush in, shake the child awake, and ask him for the secret to falling into such a convenient coma.
