Chapter 347: I Will Personally Go Find Him and Bring Him Back

I really didn't expect it—last night we were still celebrating the bonfire party, celebrating that they had wiped out the Mase tribe, and the bonfire from last night hadn't even fully cooled when trouble broke out!

The tribe's mood was terrible that day, because the Clan Leader disappeared while pursuing the people.

This was a big deal for the Tribe, and Ashu and the others were also injured.

Nan Qinghuan, calm and unhurried, let Axi and Youchao Xuan go first to rescue Ashu and the others; she herself listened as Asu finished recounting everything.

By the time she finished listening, it was already noon.

It was noon, the sun shining high!

In the Forest, Nan Qinghuan sat on a stone bench, having heard all the words, thought for a moment and then said, "So you were all attacked by something called a Green Monster; what does it look like?"

She had never heard of it before? Asu hurriedly nodded, "Yes, that thing spits out poisonous liquid; once it contacts the skin it starts to hurt. Look at my arm…"

Nan Qinghuan quickly looked at Asu's arm; the reddened swelling confirmed it was poisoned.

She thought this must be a toxin they had never seen before.

"Asu, don't panic; I'll first disinfect you with alcohol, then apply some medicine and try,"

Although Nan Qinghuan is a paleontologist, she found that many of these ancient animals were unfamiliar to her; they must have gone extinct long ago, so there is no data on them, and naturally she doesn't recognize them.

For her, these are all unknown creatures, with a very high danger coefficient.

Quickly, after she applied the medicine to Asu, he felt much better, but he was worried, "Om, Ying hasn't returned yet—what should we do?"

"Yes, Goddess, my husband hasn't returned either. What shall we do? I want to go find him. If something happened to him, what will I do? We've only been married a few days; I don't want to become a widow, I don't want to."

She hadn't expected the Matriarchal Tribe to already have talk of widows; Nan Qinghuan knew Ayina was anxious, so she naturally became anxious as well.

But being anxious now doesn't help.

"Don't worry; let me think of a solution. If it really doesn't work, I'll go find them."

"No, Nan Qinghuan, you can't go. Later I'll have the men of the tribe organize a group to look for Ying; you stay at home, understand?"

A Mu was worried she would wander off, but Nan Qinghuan couldn't wait a moment; even though she is pregnant now, she still has this basic ability.

Only if she goes to search can the tribe members feel at ease.

Otherwise, if things get chaotic, it will be troublesome.

When people's hearts are in disorder, it's hard to stabilize.

"A Mu, it's fine. I believe Ying is in this Forest; he must have been entangled by that monster. Don't worry."

"Goddess, Ashu has woken up."

Hearing that he had awakened, Nan Qinghuan quickly rose, "Got it. Take good care of them. A Mu, tell all the tribe members not to spread the news that Ying hasn't returned."

With those words spoken, A Mu naturally understood what it meant, but if Ying doesn't come back, others will eventually find out.

"You can't go; how can your big belly…"

"Don't worry, A Mu, I'm fine."

After saying that, she turned to the sobbing Ayina, "Ayina, stop crying. Women of the Matriarchal Tribe are very brave. Bring a few people and come with me to search the mountains; I don't believe they can go far."

Ayina, being a member of the Matriarchal Tribe, was used to women being in charge, so she naturally agreed with Nan Qinghuan.

"Alright, Om, we will definitely find them."

Nan Qinghuan was determined to find Ying; A Mu had no choice but to call a few men to protect them. In the afternoon, Nan Qinghuan set off, taking survival tools from the Forest.

Asu led them toward the place where Ying and Ji Lei had disappeared, and Dashan followed.

In the afternoon, dappled sunlight fell on the forest floor, and the traces of a fight could still be seen; the weeds on the ground were trampled into a chaotic mess, giving a desolate appearance.

"Om, it was here that Ying and Ji Lei chased that monster and didn't return; if we go looking again, there will be no one left."

Asu looked somewhat dejected; who could know that the monster was so powerful, that the Masai son's cruelty could release toxins to bite them? Nan Qinghuan, unhurried, observed the surroundings and noticed that some huge leaves here were covered with a mucus that resembled snot.

She quickly plucked a bit of leaf to test the mucus, gently placing it on her nose tip to sniff.

It had a strong fishy smell.

"Asu, is this what the attackers left behind?"

Asu, noticing her careful observation, nodded, "It's this thing, Om. This thing, when on the skin, causes a stinging pain that's hard to bear."

"Om, what exactly is this toxin? Could it be more terrifying than a Giant Dragon?"

Ayina thought the Giant Dragon was the most terrifying thing they'd seen, but now she realized there was something even more frightening.

It's these sticky things.

Nan Qinghuan thought for a moment, probably already knowing what it was, "I think it's a poisonous Poison Toad, a very troublesome creature. Asu, how big is this toxin?"

"Poison Toad?"

Asu was completely stunned—what kind of animal was that? "Exactly, I guess it's the Poison Toad's mucus, which is toxic. This must be a mutated poisonous Poison Toad. How big is it?"

Asu casually sketched, "About the size of a cub, and it jumps quite fast."

A size like a small child—so it must indeed be mutated.

She thought and got an idea, "Let's go; following this mucus will definitely lead us to them."

Nan Qinghuan didn't believe Ying could have been harmed by this Poison Toad; she led the group toward the depths of Chonglin, stepping very carefully with each step.

Fearing that some toxin might emerge from below.

She knew she was in great danger now, but she couldn't wait any longer to find Ying.

If she were to wait for news in the Tulou, her impatient nature would drive her mad.

She didn't trust others to come; only she herself searching would bring peace of mind.

The Forest was canopy‑blocking, the ground covered in thorns; they walked cautiously. Nan Qinghuan followed the trail of mucus, discovering that there were multiple Poison Toads, with these traces flowing on leaves everywhere.

After passing through a deep part of the forest, the scene before them suddenly opened up, and they unexpectedly saw…
