Chapter 349: Husband and Wife Join Hands to Battle the Poisonous Beast

Li Xiang seemed to have a sudden realization, "I get it, it must have been that escaped Masai, it was his revenge—he took revenge on Ying, and now he's taking revenge on our Tribe."

Rongdi's complexion darkened instantly, his brows knit as he stared at him, "You mean Guang's son?"

Rongdi felt as if facing a great enemy: his Tribe had been breached by Guang's son? When did he come, and why did he not notice at all?

Rongdi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Li Xiang nodded, "It must be that. The Poison Toad carcass is toxic; the Tribe members who drank the contaminated water would react like that. Chief, pass this on—tell the Tribe not to drink the water here. As for a cure, may I ask if there's any Lime?"

"Lime?"

Duoluo thought for a moment, "

Yes, I'll have someone gather it."

"Alright, fetch more and crush it with stones. Let them drink it as a test; if it doesn't hurt, they're fine. Lime has disinfecting properties, hopefully it'll work. If not, we may need to ask Qinghuan to take a look."

Li Xiang knew Nan Qinghuan was skilled in medicine; her grandmother came from a family of herbalists, so she had learned some healing techniques since childhood, and he was sure she could cure these people.

Rongdi also realized the trouble, "Men, find a way to capture that wild man and bring him back, clean this place up, priest, what should we do next?"

Rongdi was still a bit worried about Ying, not knowing whether Ying had returned. If it weren't for the sudden incident within the Tribe, he would have sent people to look for Ying.

Li Xiang was about to speak when Xuanfeng rushed over from a short distance, "Chief, something's wrong."

The arrival made the atmosphere even tenser; Rongdi's mood was already low, and this news worsened it. He slumped, looking at him, "What exactly is happening?"

"Chief, Nan Qinghuan went with people to look for Ying."

"What?"

This made Li Xiang stagger, "Qinghuan went to find Ying, and he hasn't returned yet?"

"No, Ying hasn't come back; only Ashu and the others returned. Nan Qinghuan worries that Ying took a few people into the forest."

Li Xiang was very concerned, "Nonsense, she's already pregnant and still running around—what for? This is a Poison Toad; if…"

Li Xiang was still worried, "Chief, I have to go find her and bring her back."

Li Xiang still cared about Nan Qinghuan's safety, which made Rongdi fall silent for a moment; he too was worried about Qinghuan, and of course about Ying as well.

"Alright, take the lone wolves and figure out a way to find them."

"Then I'll take care of this place."

In the dense forest, Nan Qinghuan and her group found the unconscious Ji Lei, whose face was scarred with many bloodied thorn wounds.

Nan Qinghuan crouched there, checking that they were only unconscious, then sighed in relief, "It's fine, just fainted. Give me some water."

"Alright."

Ayina was very worried that the man had died, hurriedly handed the water in the bamboo tube to her, Nan Qinghuan poured a little water onto Ji Lei's face, and they quickly regained consciousness.

"Ji Lei!"

When Ji Lei heard the woman's voice, they sprang up at once; seeing Ayina and Nan Qinghuan, they immediately got up, "Om, why did you come?"

"We came to look for you, where's Ying?"

Ji Lei touched their head,

Suddenly they remembered, "You all hurry away, hurry…"

"What's wrong? I asked where Ying is."

"Ying was dragged away by a monster; I saw him being taken."

"What?"

Nan Qinghuan felt unsteady, "Impossible, it can't be!"

"Where did they go?"

At dusk, Ying was perched atop a large tree, spear in hand aimed at several plump wart toads that were huge—about the size of a wolf‑dog—and looked terrifying.

Suddenly, the wart toads seemed to hear movement and tried to flee; Ying was about to strike when he suddenly saw… "Qinghuan."

"Ying, Ying, where are you?"

Nan Qinghuan and her party arrived here to search, but the wart toads heard their voices.

"Om, be careful."

When they saw the three massive wart toads, Nan Qinghuan's mind exploded with a sudden bang.

"Damn, that big? So it's an ancient wart toad."

"Ribbit…"

The wart toads croaked, ready to attack, and Nan Qinghuan clenched the bottle in her hand—her secret weapon.

Sulfuric Acid.

Yes, she bought Sulfuric Acid from a pocket dimension; any creature drenched in this will die, no matter how strong!

"Om, step aside."

Nan Qinghuan was calm, "Later, when you lure them over, I'll pour the stuff, then you use your spears to stab their eyes. As long as you blind them, they can't fight."

"Eyes?"

Just as the words finished, the toad lunged at Nan Qinghuan, forcing Ying to act.

In an instant, the spear thrust down fiercely.

"Ribbit."

A mournful cry rang through the forest; Nan Qinghuan tossed the Sulfuric Acid, splashing it onto them, and the wart toads let out a wail as everyone stabbed at their eyes.

Soon, the three beasts didn't even get a chance to spew venom before dying under the spears and Sulfuric Acid, and the acid even rotted their flesh away; such a potent Poison Toad was no match.

"Om, we won."

"Qinghuan."

Ying climbed down from the tree; seeing Ying unharmed, Nan Qinghuan rushed forward, ignoring the blood on his body, and scooped him up.

"Ying, you scared me to death—where did you go?"

"It's Ying, I thought someone else had helped us, but it turns out it was Ying waiting for an ambush?"

The crowd hurried forward and saw the two embracing affectionately; Ji Lei was overjoyed, "Ying, I really didn't expect you to be on this tree, you scared us to death."

"Yes, Clan Leader, we thought you had been eaten by this?"

The clan members all breathed a sigh of relief; it's great that Ying is fine.

Ying gently let Nan Qinghuan go, his shock turning into a bit of concern.

"Qinghuan, who sent you?"

Nan Qinghuan touched her nose, "If you don't come back how can I be at ease? You scared me to death."

"It's fine now, what did you just spray, and why did they all turn like that? Ying was still worried, but didn't expect Nan Qinghuan's water‑like thing had such a huge effect."

Truly baffling.

He hurriedly let her go, walked to the dead animal, and drew his Spear; the corpse had begun to rot and emitted a foul stench.

"Indeed, Oumu, what kind of weapon is this so powerful?"

They didn't understand how water could have such power.

Nan Qinghuan, seeing Ying fine, finally explained, "This isn't water; this is Sulfuric Acid. This stuff is highly corrosive; just one drop can prevent the weeds here from growing. And such a powerful weapon?"

Ying had never seen it before; looking at Nan Qinghuan, his eyes were filled with admiration and joy, with sparks flickering.

Ji Lei was also quite surprised; they had just thought they were doomed, but didn't expect Sulfuric Acid to be so potent.

"Oumu, how come we've never seen this before?"
