“Daughter-in-law, don’t worry too much. Let’s all go over and see what’s going on. Here in Liu Village, we are under the protection of the Willow God. I am sure nothing will happen to my eldest grandson!” Old Man Lin blurted out.

He knew his elder daughter-in-law well. She was more on the timid side, meek and introverted, and often became flustered and didn’t know what to do in times of crisis. She was great at taking care of the family, but when it came to dealing with major issues, she was out of her depth.

Even the strongest of women would be somewhat agitated and unable to maintain their composure in this kind of situation, let alone her.

“Clan Leader, we also want to go with you to find out what’s going on. Hai Wa Zhi is somebody we all saw grow up, so we are all very concerned!”

Many villagers came upon hearing the news, most of whom were elders. All of them wore worried expressions on their faces. Their concern for Lin Zhuang’s eldest son was not just out of politeness, but came from genuine worry.

The people of Liu Village were simple and honest. Helping each other out was a common occurrence, and there was a prevailing spirit of civility amongst them.

“Old Man Lin thanks you all for your sincere concern. However, too many people might cause confusion. Please wait here for a while, and if anything happens, I will be the first one to inform everyone!”

Old Man Lin bowed his fists in thanks.

“Old Clan Leader, please remember to call us if anything happens!”

The elderly Native Tribe leader, leaning on a walking stick, came over shakily.

He looked significantly more aged now, with signs of the passing of time visible all over his body. But his spirit was still good. Aside from his legs and feet not being as nimble, he was still fit and robust.

“Rest assured, brother!”

Moved, Old Man Lin nodded and dared not delay any longer. He turned around and hurriedly rushed to one place with Lin Zhuang and the others.

They crossed a large bamboo forest.

Soon enough.

In front of a house made of stone bricks.

Everyone immediately walked in.

Upon entering, they saw on the bed in the left room.

There was a young man curled up.

The young man had a robust physique, but now he was shivering all over, with his eyes tightly shut.

His whole body was pitch black, covered in complicated and unknown runes, unlike what the plump woman had described as frenzied screaming.

“Eldest son!”

Lin Zhuang quickly walked to the bedside, his voice trembling slightly.

He fathered three children, two sons, and a daughter: Lin Hai, Lin Zhao, and Lin Rui.

The teenager in front of him was his eldest son Lin Hai, now around fifteen or sixteen years old. He was usually healthy with a physical strength of tens of thousands of pounds at the wave of his arms. Aside from Tu Wa and Gu Chen, he was a genius among children of his age.

The eldest son was usually the most obedient and sensible one, and he resembled Lin Zhuang the most, both physically and character-wise. Because of that, Lin Zhuang always prioritized his eldest son.

“Did my grandson accidentally eat something poisonous?”

Old Man Lin frowned, his gaze on the young man.

The boy’s skin was extremely dark, which was not normal, and it seemed as if he had been severely poisoned.

In the vast Wilderness, there was an abundance of food that looked appetizing but was actually poisonous. Even a careless touch could result in poisoning.

“Um…” At the back, the plump woman tried to recall carefully, but she wasn’t sure.

Kids in their teens were mostly mischievous and hardly stayed home. She couldn’t possibly know whether he had eaten anything poisonous as she couldn’t keep an eye on him all the time.

“But I remember, this morning, my eldest son suddenly complained about feeling extremely hot, as if he was being burnt by a flame. I initially thought he caught a cold, but he was fine after a short while!”

The plump woman suddenly remembered.

“It seems likely that my grandson accidentally ate something poisonous. Tu Wa, go to the storage room and get the Detoxification Pill I prepared earlier!” Old Man Lin turned his head to Tu Wa and ordered.

The so-called Detoxification Pill was made from the gall of the Golden Snake, horn of the One-Horned Rhino, and the Mingsi Flower, among other rare medicinal herbs. It had to be brewed for over ten hours, and it had some detoxifying effects.

Tu Wa responded and quickly returned with a square beast skin bag unfolded in his hands.

Old Man Lin took it over, quickly pulled out a small black medicinal pill from inside, and directly put it into the young man’s mouth.

If it was indeed severe poisoning, the earlier the medicine was taken, the better the effect would be.

However, soon after administering the Detoxification Pill, the situation suddenly worsened.

The young man suddenly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood. Not only that, bright red blood surged from all seven bodily orifices. In an instant, it had soaked his Beast Robe, and his expression had turned extremely weak. He immediately fell unconscious.

“No good! My grandson didn’t just get poisoned. We need to seek help from the Willow God!” Old Man Lin’s voice was all of a sudden filled with panic.

He knew the condition of the medicine he had concocted better than anyone else. Even though expelling the poison would result in vomiting of blood, there was no way it would cause blood to flow from all seven bodily orifices!

Even a treatment with poison wouldn’t result in such a condition.

If such a scenario ever occurred, it meant that the medicine had failed to cure the disease, thereby causing a more severe reaction.

Everyone was caught off guard and started panicking. By the time they took the young man up the mountain, it was already the break of dawn.

The air was filled with stifling dampness, and the night was eerily still, occasionally interrupted by the chirping of cicadas that played out as a crisp and pleasing melody, composing the unique rhythm of the night..
