Chapter 59: The Detoxifying Leaf

The Detoxifying Leaf

Although the Whale Shark Tribe tried their best to guard those Sea Spirit Ginsengs, the Beastmen still snatched away quite a few.

Chaosheng licked the fish oil off her hands and recounted to Yinxu everything that had happened during the day.

"That's about it; now the Sea Spirit Ginseng is no longer something that belongs exclusively to the Whale Shark Tribe."

The sea surface shimmered, and the pure white moonlight fell, casting a serene silver glow.

It seemed they hadn't come to the shore to eat grilled fish in a while, so Chaosheng suggested going to the shore to eat some.

Baini rubbed his half-full stomach, his expression weary, and propped his chin with one hand, dozing off toward the moon.

Actually, he had wanted to sleep in the afternoon, but that hateful Beastman Guxian had insisted on staying here, annoying the Orca.

After finally sending Guxian away, Yinxu had returned from hunting.

He had no choice but to go ashore with them.

The sea breeze ruffled Yinxu's translucent white hair, and his deep brown eyes narrowed in satisfaction as he offered a faint smile, "That's quite good too; at least the Beastmen of the Polar Sea won't have to risk their lives for a single Sea Spirit Ginseng anymore."

Sea Spirit Ginseng, three hundred Crystal Coins per stalk.

A Beastman could never possess that many Crystal Coins in a lifetime.

"?" A flash of confusion crossed Chaosheng's light eyes, then she instantly remembered that she hadn't told Yinxu yet that the Sea Spirit Ginseng was poisonous.

"That..."

"Actually, the Sea Spirit Ginseng is poisonous."

"What?" The smile on Yinxu's lips vanished, and he looked at Chaosheng in shock, his handsome brows knitting tightly, "Poisonous? How could it be poisonous?"

"Sigh!" Chaosheng let out an almost imperceptible sigh, her small face drooping with melancholy, "It is a very chronic poison; the Beastmen simply cannot detect it."

"It has to stay in the body for a long time before it takes effect."

"The day the poison acts up, they will suddenly drop dead, beyond any cure."

"Then..." Yinxu froze, his deep brown eyes widening in disbelief; even though he knew there was likely no Beastman in the entire Polar Sea better at dealing with Black Filth than Sheng, he still couldn't help but ask, "Then... is it possible you saw it wrong?"

So many Beastmen had used Sea Spirit Ginseng; if it were truly poisonous, wouldn't that mean... a huge portion of the entire Polar Sea would die?

As far as he knew, many Tribe Beastmen had spent their entire fortunes buying Sea Spirit Ginseng just so those Beastmen with abilities could survive.

And yet, she was saying these Beastmen might not die from a Mental Sea Riot, but from the poison of the Sea Spirit Ginseng?!

Chaosheng closed her eyes heavily, her tone carrying a hint of certainty, "It shouldn't be wrong."

After those Beastmen left, she went to observe the Sea Spirit Ginseng again, and after various identifications, she confirmed that it was indeed the poisonous Sixth Tier.

"Then..." Yinxu was suddenly speechless, a trace of sorrow drifting through his heart; those who used Sea Spirit Ginseng were all Beastmen with abilities.

If they all died, it would mean the Polar Sea would lose a massive amount of combat power.

His deep brown eyes were stained with a touch of desolation, and a sense of stifling pressure filled his heart; Yinxu couldn't describe what he was feeling.

The Ice Bears were like that; after encountering accidents, only a few remained.

In the end, he was the only Beastman left.

"Actually, there is a way to detoxify this poison." Chaosheng hesitated, but said it anyway; Yinxu was her Beast Husband, and she could tell he also wanted to save those Beastmen.

"What?" Yinxu looked at her in astonishment, then seemed to think of something, his deep brown pupils constricting, "Is it like last time?"

"Sheng, how about... let it be."

"If these things happened, it is their fate; no one else can be blamed."

"Hm, what?" Chaosheng listened, bewildered, and asked uncomprehendingly, "Which time are you talking about?"

"The time you saved Baini."

After helping Baini detoxify last time, Sheng had been listless and dazed for several days.

Baini was Sheng's Beast Husband, so saving him was one thing.

But saving so many Beastmen this time, wouldn't that be forcing Sheng to her death?

Chaosheng understood what Yinxu meant and chuckled, "Where did your thoughts wander off to?"

"I meant there is a type of leaf that can cure this poison."

"I am not yet sure where this leaf is."

"It might be on land, hmm..." Chaosheng paused, thinking of how the growth environment of Sixth Tier had also changed, and speculated, "It might also grow in the sea."

"I am not even sure if it can be found in the Polar Sea."

The climate of the Polar Sea is harsh; the so-called land is just Ice Island and icebergs, which are simply not suitable for plant growth.

After hearing this, Yinxu was silent for a moment, "How about this, Sheng, tell me what the leaf looks like."

"I will look for it while I am hunting these few days."

"But..." Chaosheng hesitated, a trace of worry flashing in her purple eyes, "But won't you be too tired?"

Baini was almost always sleeping now, and she herself was tied up with all sorts of matters; the prey for the household all relied on Yinxu to catch.

If the task of finding the White Cold Leaf were added, she was afraid Yinxu would be too exhausted.

"It's fine." Yinxu leaned over to sit beside Chaosheng, his warm, large hand gently stroking her soft head, slowly guiding Chaosheng's head to lean against his shoulder, his deep brown eyes darkening for a moment, "Sheng, have you forgotten? I have a Plant-type Ability; no Beastman is more suitable than me."

Since it wouldn't tire Sheng out, then he would be the one to find it.

He could be indifferent to the life or death of a single Beastman, but perhaps because they were in the same boat, he could not watch the fall of an entire group with cold eyes.

After blowing in the sea breeze for a while, Chaosheng woke up Baini, who was sleeping in a daze, "Baini, don't sleep here, go down and sleep."

The open black eye rolled, and after seemingly confirming the identity of the person before him, he woke up languidly and let out a lazy yawn.

"Sheng?"

The voice was lingering and soft; two arms with lean muscles easily held Chaosheng, as if he had found a familiar harbor, his eyes closing in exhaustion, his voice heavy with sleepiness, "Okay, Sheng, let's go, let's go home~"

Seeing this, Yinxu's gaze darkened for a moment, and he reached out his hands, wanting to pull Baini off Chaosheng, his tone filled with faint concern, "He is too heavy, let me do it."

"Hmm— get away!"

Seeming to sense something, the already fast-asleep Baini irritably rubbed against the back of Chaosheng's neck, impatiently driving away this annoying fellow.

Chaosheng shook her head helplessly, "It's fine, I'll handle it."

With that, she declined Yinxu's kind offer.

Baini was very heavy, but Chaosheng was no fool; she quietly extended two slender vines to support Baini, sharing some of the weight for herself.

"Duang!"

"Coo-coo! Coo!"

Chaosheng brought Baini back to their home in the Ice Cave and tossed him onto her own straw mat.

Only then did she wearily rub her eyes, intending to go to sleep.

Her thoughts were in complete disarray, and her heart felt heavy, as if pressed down by a large stone.

Even as she entered a deep sleep, her brows remained tightly furrowed.
