Chapter 322 is truly amazing!
Chapter 322 is truly amazing!
Er's struggles were not great, because his entire body was being held down. Yue and Xiao held his injured hind leg tightly to keep it from moving.
As if he hadn't seen Er's struggle, Zhao poured another spoonful of wine onto the wound. After rinsing the wound inside and out twice, Zhao shouted, "Yue, Xiao, let it go. I need to bandage his wound. Lay his leg flat."
The pain in his ear hadn't subsided, but he still managed to pull himself together and lay his injured hind leg flat.
Zhao placed the herbs he had brought on the leopard's wound, and Zhao's companion took out a piece of silk, cut it open, and placed the silk on the leopard's wound, then tied it securely with withered vines.
He picked these vines on the road; they were very sturdy when they were half-dry, and even two orcs couldn't pull them apart.
Zhao examined the wound again and then instructed, "It's best not to exert too much force on this leg. Have someone carry you back. You'll need to have your dressing changed again tomorrow. When you have your dressing changed tomorrow, it's best to transform into your beast form so the wound can heal faster."
When orcs are injured, they mostly recuperate in their animal form because they heal faster and better in animal form. If this were in a tribe, they would still ask the orcs to transform into their animal form to bandage them. But this is in the wild. If they use their animal form to bandage themselves, it will be troublesome to get back. Human form can be carried back, but animal form cannot.
Er nodded. He didn't ask what the wine that caused him so much pain was, nor did he ask what the thing wrapped around his wound was. He just thanked him repeatedly.
The fox tribesman with the ear stepped forward and said gratefully, "Thank you so much. Our tribe is not far from here. It's getting dark soon, so please come and stay overnight with our tribe. We will thank you properly."
The elder smiled slightly and said, "We were planning to spend the night in your tribe anyway. Do you need our help to prepare the game here?"
The fox-orc said, "This big-eyed beast was killed by your friend, so according to the rules it belongs to your friend. If it needs to be taken care of, we should be the ones to take care of it for your friend."
If it weren't for that silver-haired orc, their team would have suffered heavy casualties. Besides that big-eyed beast, they would have to thank him properly when they got back to the tribe.
The elder looked at Yue, and seeing that Yue nodded slightly at him, he said, "Then let's deal with this beast together."
While they were dealing with the wild beasts, the orcs who had been chasing them returned, bringing back two more beasts. One of the beasts had an arrow stuck in its rear end, and blood was oozing out.
The orcs thanked Yue profusely, but when they came up to check on the injury to his ear, they were astonished and their eyes widened in surprise.
They all saw that the wound on the ear leg had been treated and covered with something they didn't know. The thing looked very thin, like a layer of water covering the wound on the ear.
The leader of the orcs was a middle-aged man in his forties. While instructing his people to deal with the wild beasts, he also came to thank Yue and Zhao.

As darkness fell, the large orc transformed into its beast form and carried the orc towards the tribe. The fox orc sat on Bai Ling's back, looking at Yue's bow and arrows and the long sword on her back with envy. He asked in a low voice, "I heard from the caravan of the central tribe that your tribe has houses, plenty of food, and a lot of ironware. Is that true?"
Yue nodded.
The fox-orc was even more envious. He added, "Three members of our tribe have also gone to your tribe. When they return, our tribe will be much better off."
Yue nodded again, and this time he spoke: "I believe your tribe will become better too."
Yue has a rather aloof personality. Most of the time, it was the fox beastman who did the talking, and Yue only occasionally answered with a word, mostly nodding or shaking her head instead of replying.
This time, Yue spoke several words at once, and the fox-orc's expression visibly relaxed. He glanced at the bow and arrow in Yue's hand again, bit his lip, and finally made up his mind.
"May I see your bow and arrows?" The fox-orc rubbed the hem of her skirt, her voice soft and slightly embarrassed.
He really liked bows and arrows. When the caravan from the central tribe came by, he even took out his bow and arrow and pulled it a few times. This bow and arrow was obviously better than the caravan's bows and arrows, and he really wanted to touch it.
Yue didn't think much of it and handed over the bow and arrows in his hand: "Okay."
The fox-orc first said "thank you" to Yue before taking the item and gently stroking it in his hand.
This bow and arrow was larger and felt better to the touch than those of the caravan. There were also uneven carvings on the bow. Because it was already dark, the fox-orc could not see what the carvings were, but he knew they must be very exquisite patterns.
The fox-orc held the bow upright and tried to draw the arrow according to the posture he remembered, but he could only draw it a little.
"Wow, your bow and arrow are amazing!" The fox-orc didn't know what else to say, so he could only use "amazing" to describe Yue's bow and arrow.
He returned the bow and arrow to Yue, a satisfied smile on his face. "Thank you. I heard from the caravan of the Central Tribe that your tribe teaches the craft of making bows and arrows. When our tribe's orcs return, I might be able to have a bow and arrow myself."
"Then I'll be able to hunt with a bow and arrow, just like you, Yue."
He and two of his tribesmen were chasing a giant-eyed beast. He was facing that earthen slope, and he saw clearly how the moon appeared and how it shot its prey.
At that moment, Yue stood on a white lion, his long silver hair blowing in the wind. He drew his bow with both hands, and the arrow he shot came whistling through the air and pierced the neck of the big-eyed beast.
The big-eyed beast didn't even have time to struggle before it collapsed heavily to the ground.
From the moment the arrow was fired to the moment the Big-Eyed Beast fell, it all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. By the time he came to his senses, Yue had already fired the second arrow.
The second arrow also hit the Bigeye Beast. Although it didn't bring the Bigeye Beast down, it injured it and forced it to flee.
With just two arrows, he and his people were rescued from danger, and the Big-Eyed Beast fled in panic.
It's been quite a while, but whenever the fox-orc thinks about what happened then, his heart still races. Such a powerful person, such a powerful arrow—Yue saved his and his people's lives simply by drawing her bow. Yue is truly amazing.
"I want to be just as amazing as that person someday!" the fox-beastman thought to himself.
