Chapter 293 Xiong Chong's Critical Illness
After Lang Cang transformed into human form, the bandages on his arms could no longer be concealed. Lin Baiyan frowned; he hadn't noticed them when Lang Cang was in his beast form.
"What happened?" Lin Baiyan's eyes showed a hint of heartache.
Lang Cang comforted his little partner by rubbing his fingers, "When you're out and about, it's inevitable that you'll get hurt a little."
"Don't worry, I've already bandaged it up."
Lin Baiyan wanted to ask more, but Lang Cang quickly changed the subject, "We met Xiong Chong outside."
Xiong Chong?
The name sounded familiar. Lin Baiyan thought for a moment and then looked surprised. "Is it the male beastman from the Giant Bear Tribe who was standing next to Xiong Zhan?"
Lang Cang nodded, his expression somewhat grim. "We encountered him in a forest in the southeast. He was already unconscious and covered in wounds."
"Where is he now?" Lin Baiyan asked quickly.
Wolf Cang waved to Leopard Road, who was huddled in a corner, cuddling and rubbing his little leopard mate.
Leopard Xi rolled her eyes so hard she wanted to stick out her nails and give him a good whack!
When Lang Cang waved to Bao Lu, Bao Xi quickly escaped from Bao Lu's clutches, and glared at his partner. If it weren't for the fact that he had just returned, he would have scratched Bao Lu's face until it was covered in welts!
Seeing the look in his partner's eyes, Leopard Road smiled sheepishly and then quickly walked to Wolf Cang's side.
Where is Xiong Chong now?
Leopard Road immediately regained his composure. "We put him in an empty house next to the activity room and left a male orc to look after him."
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Tu Lin was originally smiling and looking at the supplies that had been received with several elders when he saw Lin Baiyan and the others hurrying by. They exchanged a glance, and the elders followed behind Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan's heart sank when he saw the unconscious brown bear. He reached out and touched Xiong Chong's forehead, which was burning hot. However, his injuries had been treated well. The wound on his leg had actually been stitched up, although the stitches were crooked, but at least the bleeding had stopped.
Lin Baiyan complimented, "The stitches are quite good."
Leopard Road scratched his head. "I was just forced into this and sewed it haphazardly."
Fortunately, he had watched his partner sew clothes several times at home, otherwise he really wouldn't have dared to put a needle in his hand.
Although the wound has been stitched up, the surrounding area is still red and swollen.
Lin Baiyan read out a few herb names to Bao Lu, "Go find Mao Yu to get the medicine, then go to the cafeteria to boil these herbs into a herbal broth for Xiong Chong to drink."
Leopard Road nodded quickly and went out.
After he left, several elders entered the room. When Hu Kuo saw Xiong Chong's condition, he immediately felt something was wrong. "Who injured Xiong Chong like this?"
Although their tribe had no close relationship with the Giant Bear tribe, they would still visit each other at the trade fair. Hu Kuo still remembered that the old chieftain of the Giant Bear tribe was a very cheerful and generous male orc.
Unfortunately, they couldn't escape the natural disaster and perished in the earthquake, leaving behind a group of cubs.
Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang exchanged a glance, their minds racing. Could it be the Chaoxiong Tribe?
That shouldn't be the case. The Chaoxiong tribe is rivaled by the Fierce Pig tribe and the Mad Lion tribe, and neither of the chiefs of these two tribes seems to be tolerant.
They wouldn't stand idly by and watch the other side annex the Giant Bear tribe to strengthen their own power.
Logically speaking, given such a delicate balance, the Giant Bear tribe should not encounter any trouble in the short term.
Lin Baiyan shook his head, clearing his mind of all those jumbled thoughts. There was no point in guessing now; they would have to wait for Xiong Chong to wake up to find out what had happened.
However, given Xiong Chong's current state, it's uncertain whether he will ever wake up.
Lin Baiyan looked at the unconscious brown bear on the bed with some worry, and he had a bad feeling.
Hu Bing stood behind Lin Baiyan, pulling her cloak tighter around herself. "Should I go..."
"Where are you going? You're not allowed to go!" Lin Baiyan rejected his suggestion without even turning her head.
He turned around and pointed at Fox Ice from a distance, "You better behave yourself. If I find out you've used the Holy Crystal without permission, I'll... I'll lock you in the heated kang room and you won't be coming out again!"
Fox Ice looked at Lin Baiyan's displeased face and smiled helplessly, though her heart felt warm.
Fox Zhen, standing next to him, covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud. Sometimes their high priest was quite adorable; after thinking for so long, he actually came up with so many ways to threaten people.
"Alright, alright, everyone get out. Leave one male orc here to keep watch."
He has done everything he could; whether Xiong Chong can wake up depends on his will to live.
After the hunting team returned, Lin Baiyan once again kept himself busy as a spinning top.
The prey brought back must be skinned and processed, and any live prey must be kept in a separate enclosure to prevent it from disturbing the other, already docile animals and causing a disturbance.
This busy work took up the whole day.
Lin Baiyan leaned back in his chair and gently rubbed his temples.
Suddenly, a large hand holding a cup appeared in front of him. Lin Baiyan looked up in the direction of the hand and saw Lang Cang.
Lang Cang fed Lin Baiyan a little water, saying, "Your lips are all chapped."
Lin Baiyan smiled, then seemed to remember something, "Has Xiong Chong woken up?"
Lang Cang shook his head. "No, he's even started talking nonsense."
Lin Baiyan's heart sank. Was it still not working?
At this moment, Lin Baiyan truly regretted not being a medical student, so she could heal Xiong Chong instantly and tell them what had happened.
Since seeing Xiong Chong, Lin Baiyan's unease has intensified.
Unfortunately, he is currently in a coma, so there's nothing they can do.
"Don't worry, I've already sent Fox Tail to fetch ice from the snow mountain."
Ice can cool things down, and once the temperature drops, Xiong Chong might wake up again.
Lin Baiyan sighed, "This is the only way."
The Giant Bear tribe is thousands of miles away, and they cannot go out rashly without knowing anything about it.
They brought back a lot of prey this time, and each soldier who went out received a lot of supplies. They were all smiles and extremely happy.
Not only that, many large pots were set up in the central square to cook meat. The little ones happily circled around the pots, and every now and then they could get a small piece of bone with meat in it from the adults.
The cubs can swallow it whole, and the bones are crunchy and delicious.
