Hai Qin was woken up by hunger.
Upon opening his eyes, he discovered his partner, cub, and other tribesmen surrounding his bedside, staring intently at him.
After a moment's reflection, he remembered that he had been detoxified...
His chest no longer ached with a sense of oppression, but rather a novel feeling of exhilaration, as if he could fly.
His mind also seemed much clearer, free from the inexplicable irritation, and he figured he wouldn't lash out irrationally anymore.
Hanna: "How are you feeling?"
Her eyes couldn't hide her worry. Perhaps out of fear of startling Hai Qin, her voice was unusually soft.
Hai Qin sat up, taking deep breaths, and replied with a faint smile, "I feel much better. I can't feel the poison within me anymore."
Hearing this, everyone could barely contain their cheer. The toxin that had troubled them for nearly a complete season had finally been eliminated!
