Chapter 348: The Rongdi Tribe

Inside the Rongdi Tribe, when Rongdi returned to the tribe it was already noon.

"Chief, you're finally back; our tribespeople suddenly fell ill and this Medical Woman is also helpless."

Hearing the tribespeople, Rongdi looked at those lying on the ground; indeed, he had originally intended to stay in the Ying Tribe to look for Ying, but did not expect his own people to fall ill suddenly.

And there were so many at once.

Li Xiang went to examine the tribespeople and found they were all vomiting, appearing to have eaten something bad.

He couldn't treat the illness and could only watch Rongdi, "It looks like they ate something bad?"

"Something bad to eat, where is the Medical Woman?"

The Medical Woman was nearby treating the tribespeople; when she heard Rongdi arrive she hurried over, looking very anxious, "Chief, after you left many people have been vomiting and diarrheic; I prepared medicine but it hasn't helped, that's why I asked you to return and see what's happening."

The Medical Woman, being a tribal member with little medical skill, now cannot treat them.

This made Rongdi angry, "What have you all eaten?"

An elderly woman stepped forward, clutching her belly in discomfort, "Chief, we haven't eaten anything else; these past days we've only eaten Corn Cob, and Corn Cob is edible, right?"

"Yes, chief, we haven't eaten raw meat, so it shouldn't be like this."

"I know what's happening?"

A voice from behind, Ji Nü's, suddenly sounded; Rongdi and a few others turned, saw Ji Nü supporting a suffering tribesperson and stepping forward, she gave a slight bow to Rongdi.

"Chief, I know what's wrong with them?"

Rongdi had never trusted Ji Nü; she had always wanted to deal with Nan Qinghuan, which he understood well.

Lone Wolf saw Ji Nü and hurried forward, "Come back and tell me what you know!"

"Of course I know, but do you believe me?"

Hearing that, Rongdi's expression turned sour; he sneered, moved to a side and sat down, "What do you know?"

Duo Luo also couldn't stand Ji Nü; she always found Ji Nü strange.

Since Rongdi gave her to Lone Wolf, she has been odd.

They were once good friends, but now haven't spoken for a long time.

Ji Nü glanced at Li Xiang; Duo Luo thought she would blame Li Xiang, "Stop spouting nonsense, what do you know?"

"Our High Priest is frightened; what I'm saying is not about the priest, but that someone poisoned us here."

"What?"

At those words, the tribespeople looked at Ji Nü in terror, "Ji Nü, what are you babbling? Who would dare poison us here?"

"Our own people couldn't have done it, chief; this was done by Ying Qian."

"Ying?"

Rongdi's gaze swept her coldly, "Did you see it?"

Ji Nü knew they had formed an alliance, but she didn't want them to ally; she wanted the two tribes to fight, otherwise who could she complain to about her grievances? So… "I didn't see it, but think about it: you went to the Ying Tribe and haven't returned, and we are already poisoned here; it's clearly Ying Qian's doing. He deliberately agreed to our alliance just to wipe us out. Chief, we cannot trust Ying; he wouldn't want our tribe to grow strong."

"Silence."

Rongdi shouted loudly, turning Ji Nü's face pale with fear, yet she remained bold, "What I say is true; we have so much hatred toward the Ying Tribe, do you really think we can become friends like this?"

Rongdi, furious, wanted to strike someone, "Nonsense! Last night the Ying people were here, how could they let someone come to poison? Moreover, Ying has already disappeared into the mountains. For the sake of Chasing Light's son, I believe he wouldn't do such a thing. Ji Nü, if you keep babbling nonsense I'll eat you."

"Exactly, you woman are spouting nonsense; you don't even know what disease the tribespeople have. Here you slander Ying Qian; I know you're dissatisfied with our alliance with Ying, but you cannot defame others. Chief, the urgent task is to find why the tribespeople became like this; shall we first check the water source?"

Sure enough, Li Xiang was thorough; Rongdi stood up, looked at Ji Nü, and was truly disappointed—the woman was becoming more useless.

"Men, drive Ji Nü out of the tribe; anyone who dares to sabotage our alliance with the Ying Tribe will meet this fate."

As soon as the words were spoken, several people rushed up and seized Ji Nü, dragging her while she struggled, "Rongdi, you will regret this, you will definitely regret; Ying will bring people to destroy your tribe, it will happen."

Rongdi, irritated by what he heard, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Stop."

When Ji Nü heard Rongdi shout "Stop", she thought he wouldn't drive her away.

She liked him so much that she couldn't bear to see Rongdi die.

And she hated that Rongdi gave Nan Qinghuan Bodhi Root to eat; without Bodhi Root, Beastmen would lose many years of life.

"Chief, what's wrong?"

Rongdi turned his head, a murderous glint in his eyes, "Throw her to those tiger wolves to eat."

Boom!

Upon hearing that, Ji Nü kept begging, "No, Rongdi, no! I was wrong, I won't speak recklessly, I really won't speak recklessly."

But this time Rongdi was resolute and wouldn't look at her; although Lone Wolf was her husband, he realized Ji Nü's heart had always been on Rongdi.

He had never succeeded in courting her even once.

So he no longer cared for her.

If she wants to die, no one can stop her.

Soon, the tribe heard Ji Nü's heart‑wrenching cries and the roars of beasts; after that, Li Xiang led Rongdi to check the water source.

The Rongdi Tribe's water source was some distance away; it was hard to imagine the Beastmen had already learned to dig a huge water pit to store water.

The place was inside the tribe; when Rongdi and Li Xiang arrived, the water was still being guided by bamboo, looking quite interesting.

"Priest, we were drinking water here."

Li Xiang looked at the massive water pit with admiration, "Did you all dig these?"

"Of course, men, open this lid and take a look."

What the tribespeople didn't expect was that after the lid was opened, inside appeared… "Chief, what is this?"

When they saw that the drinking water contained a strange animal corpse, Lone Wolf quickly ordered someone to fish it out.

Soon the corpse was hauled up.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Seeing that monster, Li Xiang's face changed.

"Is this a Prehistoric Poison Toad?"

He had previously seen a description of it in a book; its body is covered with green patterns, it is an ancient toad, and it is poisonous.

Its saliva can be corrosive; a drop into the eyes will blind a person.

How could this happen? "Father, what do you say this is?"
