Warm Race

"Chang Xia, give me some more chili. I'll help you go back to the tribe and ask about it. Let's confirm if this chili is related to the Heavenly Lion Tribe in the Psychedelic Forest," Root said readily. The boiled fish was a little small and was quickly eaten by everyone. At this moment, everyone scooped a bowl of yam soup and sipped it to relieve the spicy taste in their mouths.

At the same time, they tasted the fresh sweetness of the yam stew.

As Mu Qin ate the yam, she looked at Nan Feng and instructed, "Nan Feng, take some time to dig some yam from the bushes. When the shaman comes, ask Chang Xia to make yam stewed meat for the shaman and Bai Qing. This yam is soft and sweet. I think the shaman will like it."

"You're right. Nan Feng, remember to go to the shrub forest." Root nodded eagerly. Calculating the time, the shaman might come over in the next couple of days.

The previous time, Root took Chang Xia to the Great Market in Normandy.

He had asked his clansmen to send a message to the shaman at Mount Kana. After that, Chang Xia and Chen Rong got married, but the shaman did not know about it yet. Root glanced at Chen Rong, worried that the shaman would look down on him. In the past, he had only thought that this male was sickly. Who knew that he had contracted an illness?

Chen Rong understood the meaning behind Root's eyes and smiled helplessly.

As expected, the detoxification and treatment had to be put on the agenda.

Every time he was sized up by others, how would he not feel uncomfortable? Even if he repeatedly coughed up blood and his body was fine, no one believed him now.

"I'll go to the shrub forest tomorrow morning," Nan Feng replied.

Chang Xia thought for a moment, then said, "The house cave. Chen Rong and I can build it slowly."

The tribesmen were busy with their own affairs. She did not want to disrupt the rhythm of their lives because of her own.

"The house cave is safe and beautiful. I'll build a house cave with you. In the future, I'll be able to build one myself." Nan Feng giggled. "Digging mountain herbs, and hunting are small matters. Besides, you've been building a house cave for a long time."

"Chang Xia, listen to Nan Feng," Mu Qin said gently.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the top of Chang Xia's head.

Chang Xia was the child they had watched grow up. Soft-hearted and kind. In fact, if not for the fact that they were afraid Chang Xia would refuse, their clansmen would have been willing to come and help.

However, the beasts had always been independent.

If the cubs wanted to grow up smoothly, they had to go through all kinds of hardships.

On the one hand, Mu Qin and the others were worried that if they interfered too much, Chang Xia would not be able to live independently. On the other hand, they were afraid that she was weak and unable to live independently. This worry rose to the highest level especially after Chang Xia chose Chen Rong as her partner.

This sickly male was infected and was still coughing up blood. What should she do?

"Nan Feng is right. We also want to build house caves in the future. We'll follow you now and learn how to build house caves first," Shan Kun said calmly.

Compared to Ya Dong, Shan Kun was more steady.

Nuan Chun smiled and said, "Saving half a day each day for picking and hunting is enough."

"Alright, as long as we don't delay your matters. I have food sent by my clansmen. It's enough for ten days to half a month." Chang Xia smiled and said happily.

The house cave she had planned was very large, and the beasts in the Twilight Forest were strong.

There was no need for tools. They could use the beastification of their hands to dig. If it were an ordinary person on Earth, it would not be easy for them to dig even if they had construction tools. In the past, farmers had worked hard for half their lives. Their simplest wish was to repair their homes, marry a wife, and have children. Only then could they start a family.

"I can build a house cave," Chen Rong said seriously.

When Root heard this, he shook his head lightly and said in a disapproving tone, "Chen Rong, your body is weak. Don't force yourself. By the way, when the shaman comes over, ask him to check your body. How can a young male's body be weak? Eat more meat usually to strengthen your body."

"Chen Rong, listen to me. It's more important to take care of your body. Chang Xia used to be in poor health, but she only recovered when she became an adult. Please ask the shaman to check your body's condition and determine the cause of the illness. Let the shaman treat it accordingly." Mu Qin advised Chen Rong gently, telling him not to think too much. He had to take advantage of his youth to take care of his body so that he could feed Chang Xia and the beast children in the future.

Chang Xia grinned and smiled.

"Chen Rong, I told you… marry me and come to the Heluo tribe. I'll provide for you."

Immediately, everyone looked speechlessly at the silly Chang Xia.

Was the child's brain infected as well?

With her physique, she wanted to support Chen Rong! Could it be that she was still sleeping?!

Chen Rong saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces and immediately felt a headache coming on. He could only say, "My body is weak because of the poison. After the poison is removed, I will naturally recover. It's not that Elder Westwood suspects that I have contracted a disease, so you don't have to worry about my physical condition."

"Poisoned?"

"How could you be poisoned if you're perfectly fine?"

Upon hearing that Chen Rong had been poisoned, everyone's strange expressions changed.

The beasts were strong and could usually recover from their injuries in three to five days. If they were poisoned, they could ask a shaman for some antidote. Even if it was a violent snake venom, they could safely survive it.

However, Chen Rong had always been sickly after being poisoned.

To be honest, this was the first time Root and the others had seen it.

"Poisoned? You didn't find a shaman to detoxify you?" Chang Xia was the calmest and asked directly why he wasn't detoxified. There had been a tribe member who had been bitten by a poisonous snake. He had found a shaman to get rid of the poison and had recovered after lying in bed for three days. As far as she knew, the poisonous snake was quite poisonous.

Back at the Great Market in Normandy, Chen Rong had told Chang Xia that he could agree to the marriage. However, he might not live long if he was sick. Chang Xia could reject him if she minded.

Chen Rong's expression changed slightly as he explained, "The poison in my body is extraordinary. The shaman can't cure it."

"Impossible," Root said without thinking. "There's no poison a shaman can't cure."

Beside him, Mu Qin and the others nodded.

In their minds, there was nothing a shaman could not do. He was the messenger of the Beast God in the mortal world.

Chen Rong had said that his poison was something a shaman couldn't cure. Naturally, they could not accept it.

Chen Rong smiled bitterly and thought for a moment before saying, "Many shamans are helpless with my poison. This time, I returned to Twilight Forest to visit my deceased mother. I was born in Twilight Forest. Before I died, I wanted to return to my hometown to take a look."

...

In an instant.

Everyone was silent.

At this moment, they suddenly remembered that Chen Rong was different from them.

He had traveled to many places. Although he looked weak, Nan Feng and Ya Dong, who had fought with him, could feel how powerful Chen Rong was.

If he wasn't injured, Chen Rong might be stronger than they were. Much stronger.

"Don't worry, let the shaman of the Twilight Forest try again. There might be a chance," Chang Xia said calmly.

She saw the longing in Chen Rong's eyes.

Chang Xia had seen too many of these eyes in the apocalypse.

No one wanted to die if they could live.

Besides, Chen Rong had been poisoned for so long and had not died. Who could say that he would definitely die?

Chang Xia never believed in fate.

If she believed in fate, she should have died long ago.

Meanwhile, she pondered finding an opportunity to examine Chen Rong's body tonight.

"Yes, yes, yes. Listen to Chang Xia. When the shaman comes, let the shaman examine you. We can help pick whatever medicine you need," the Mu Qin said quickly.

Beside him, Root and the others chimed in.

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Chen Rong blamed himself. He shouldn't have exposed the poisoning.

"Don't be nervous. This poison… has been entrenched in my body for more than half a year. I'm still alive and kicking. Other than not being able to activate my bloodline power to fight, I'm normal."

Chen Rong quickly explained, indicating that unless there was a fierce battle, he was like an ordinary person.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this explanation.

"If you can't activate your bloodline power to fight, then don't participate in the tribe hunting team and go out to hunt. Follow Chang Xia around the tribe to pick vegetables. If you want to eat meat, exchange with the tribe directly." Root thought about it and felt that it was quite good.

Now that Chang Xia's safety was guaranteed, she no longer cared about entering the forest.

Every once in a while, the tribe would arrange for their clansmen to clear the harvesting ground near the tribe. It was basically safe.

The occasional beasts they encountered were herbivores.

Even a female could handle it, let alone a male.

"That's right," Shan Kun said hurriedly. "Get Chang Xia to make more delicious food. We'll trade with you for meat."

"Yes, trade with us," Ya Dong echoed.

Feeling their protection, Chen Rong's cold heart warmed. Chang Xia narrowed her eyes, her eyes filled with laughter. She could understand Chen Rong's feelings. When she woke up from this body, she was always on the verge of death.

Even with the tempering of the apocalypse, it still made Chang Xia feel like dying.

However, feeling the kindness of the shaman and his clansmen, Chang Xia's mentality changed bit by bit.

She didn't want to die. She wanted to live well and repay her cute relatives. That was why Chang Xia broke free from the hands of the God of Death time and time again and gained a new life. At the same time, she shed the vigilance she had developed during the apocalypse.
