Chapter 63: Painful Red

The wailing female heard Huashu's voice, her emotions seemed to calm a bit: "When I was gathering, my hand was scratched by the thorn wood, but it wasn't serious, and I didn't pay attention to it."

But after a while, the wound felt like a spark was burning there, it hurt terribly, and now it's getting more and more painful."

Her uninjured hand tightly grabbed Huashu's arm: "Grandma, am I going to die, waa~"

Huashu frowned; being scratched by thorn wood like this was common during gathering.

If the wound is small, it will heal on its own in a few days; if it's more serious, you can have a beastman warrior lick it, and it's not a big deal.

But seeing someone like Hong so swollen and red, still in constant pain, this is truly the first time I've seen such a case.

Wu Yue stepped forward: "Huashu grandma, it seems the thorn wood that scratched Hong contains toxin; let's first go see what kind of thorn wood it is."

"Bring some of that thorn wood Hong described back, so when the shaman treats her, we'll also know what scratched her."

Huashu opened her mouth, just sighed, then stood up and looked at the two males behind Hong.

"You all take Hong and me over there."

She turned her head to look at the females behind her: "You all wait here, don't run around."

After what happened to Hong, everyone was frightened, so they naturally stayed put, not daring to move.

Huashu was about to turn and let Wu Yue stay too, but saw her walking forward.

"Huashu grandma, A Mu taught me quite a bit about herbs before; let me go with you to take a look, maybe we can discover something."

Hearing that she knew herbs, Huashu's eyes lit up.

She had just not told Wu Yue that, given Hong's family circumstances, it was impossible to invite a shaman to treat her.

Hong had stopped howling; a clump of wild vegetables was stuffed into her mouth.

Prolonged loud crying would attract beasts; for everyone's safety, this is the best method.

Several people all the way came to the place where Hong gathered; it wasn't far from where everyone rested.

Here, however, there were several clumps of thorny plants, as tall as a male.

Upon seeing those clumps of thorn wood, Hong became very agitated, tears streaming as she struggled, her good arm waving toward them.

"Is it these clumps of thorn wood?"

Huashu asked.

Hong nodded, tears and snot streaming, her eyes turning red as well; her injured hand was more swollen and red than before.

Huashu looked at Wu Yue: "This is ordinary thorn wood; the clanspeople have been scratched by it many times before, and they always healed quickly."

Wu Yue frowned at Hong: "Then why is Hong's case so severe?"

Huashu grandma shook her head; she wasn't entirely sure either.

"Hong, you've been gathering in this area all along, haven't you left?"

Wuyue asked softly.

Hong weakly nodded, her eyes full of pleading, hoping Wuyue could save her.

Wu Yue could only press her lips and show a faint smile: "I'll do my best."

Having said that, she began to examine the jungle.

This place was practically a dandelion paradise, large and abundant.

"Wu Yue, be careful, don't get hurt by the thorn wood here."

Huashu grandma beside her worriedly said.

Hong was already like this; she didn't want another female in the group to get hurt either, and the cause of this pain was still unknown.

If something happened to Hong because of this gathering, this food-rich gathering place would be off-limits for them from now on.

"Huh?" Suddenly, a striking red flashed into Wu Yue's vision.

This finger-length red fruit
