"A 'Ying, ignore this foreigner. Saving Ah Long and the others is more important." A' Liang glared at Linlong.
Hearing A 'Liang's words, A' Ying immediately made a decision. She seriously said to A 'Liang, "A' Liang, people can't be untrustworthy … How about this, bring the herbs and tools over. I'll prepare them here. Once I'm done, you can use them to save Ah Long and the others."
"Sigh …" A 'Liang helplessly stomped his feet before turning to leave.
"Wait." At this moment, Linlong suddenly said.
A 'Liang immediately stood still and turned around, looking at Linlong with a strange expression.
A 'Ying looked up and asked, "Mister, what's the matter?"
"How about this, I'll be responsible for helping you save Ah Long and the others. Then, you'll let me go and take me to the Black Cloud Cave. How about it?" Linlong smiled.
"You can save Ah Long and the others?" A 'Liang looked at Linlong hesitantly.
"Of course." Linlong nodded.
"I don't believe it." A 'Liang shook his head, "You should know that for hundreds of years, the various generations of our tribe's pharmacists have tried countless kinds of herbs, but they were only able to find a temporary cure for the rat poison. I don't believe you immediately say that you can cure them!"
A 'Ying's eyes lit up, "If Mister can cure the rat poison in his body, he can definitely cure the rat poison in Ah Long and the others. How could I forget that Mister's constitution is the same as our people's?"
A 'Liang said, "A' Ying, he's a foreigner. The rat poison doesn't have much effect on him. It's not strange that he can cure them."
A 'Ying shook her head, "Brother A' Liang, I've already said that Mister's body is no different from ours."
"But …"
A 'Liang wanted to say something, but A' Ying interrupted him, "Brother A 'Liang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell Elder and bring Ah Long and the others here."
It would have been best to ask Linlong to leave, but due to Linlong's identity and ability as a foreigner, A 'Ying could only say this.
"Alright." Seeing that A 'Ying was somewhat unhappy, A' Liang did not dare to say anything else. He could only agree and turned to leave.
Soon, Ah Liang brought Elder and the others into the prison. Naturally, Ah Long and the others were carried over as well.
Ah Long seemed to be seriously injured. Previously, Ah Liang said that it was swollen to the size of a fist, but now, it was the size of one and a half fists. Not only that, Ah Long's whole body was swollen, and he was in a trance, unable to speak.
As for the other adults, although they were much better than Arlong, if they were not treated in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In addition to calling these people over, A 'Liang also brought over the remaining herbs and tools.
When everyone arrived outside the cell, Elder was the first to walk up. He glanced at Linlong and then turned to Ah Ying, who was inside, and said anxiously, "Ah Ying, the situation is urgent. You said that this … this mister can save Ah Long and the others. Is it true?"
Clearly, he wasn't used to calling someone from a different race like Linlong mister.
"It's true." A Ying nodded with certainty.
After thinking about it and observing Linlong, she was even more certain that Linlong was telling the truth.
Hearing this, Elder clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Linlong said, "Grandpa, I'm going to repeat what I said to Ah Liang before. If I heal Ah Long and the others, you'll have to release me and bring me to the Black Cloud Cave."
"This …" The elder immediately hesitated.
"Elder, you can't. If we let this person go, he will come after us again. When that time comes, our losses might be even worse than now." Someone immediately stood up and said.
"Yes, Elder, this is not a small matter."
Among the dozen or so people who came, a few immediately agreed.
To them, the ferocity of a person from a different race was worse than rat poison.
Elder did not say anything, but his expression clearly became more hesitant. Indeed, the people from a different race had killed too many people, and he had to think deeply. If saving Ah Long and the others caused their tribe to fall into the same kind of disaster, that was something he did not want to see at all.
A Ying also did not know what to say. Even if it was her, if it wasn't for the fact that she firmly believed that Linlong was from another race, she would not dare to say what she said before.
"En, I can also tell you the formula to cure this rat poison. If you confirm the deal, then you won't have to worry about being threatened by those Dark Rats in the future." Linlong said.
After a pause, he continued, "Alright, I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to think about it. If you still don't make a decision by then, don't blame me for not doing anything."
After saying that, he directly walked to the side and sat on a stone bench in the cell.
"Give us the formula to cure the rat poison?" Hearing Linlong's words, a trace of joy immediately appeared on the elder's face.
For so many years, they had been troubled by the Dark Rats because of their super toxicity and the difficulty of concocting the antidote. If this person from a different race could really give them the formula to cure the rat poison, then they would no longer have to fear those Dark Rats.
In this way, their tribe would no longer be as sparsely populated as it was now, and they would definitely prosper.
Not only the elder, but the faces of everyone present revealed a look of longing. They did not want to think about things that were far away, but for example, if they had the formula to cure the rat poison, then they would not have to fear those Dark Rats anymore. At that time, they would be able to eat the meat of the Dark Rats every day.
However, when they thought about how powerful the people from a different race were, some of them immediately began to hesitate.
After thinking for a long time, the elder seemed to have made up his mind. He then suddenly raised his head and said to Linlong, who was in the cell, "I represent the people in the tribe to agree to your conditions."
Hearing the elder's words, the string in A Ying's heart that was stretched taut finally relaxed.
As for the others around them, some of them clearly wanted to object, but after opening their mouths, they did not say anything in the end.
After all, the formula to cure the rat poison was too important to them.
However, there was still someone who stood up and said, "Elder, you have to reconsider this matter."
The elder seemed to have expected that someone would object, so he immediately turned around and said to that person, "Ah Jiu, the people in the tribe definitely do not want to miss out on this opportunity to obtain the formula. When the time comes, if the people from a different race dare to attack us again, even if we suffer losses, we will definitely be able to chase them back into the Black Cloud Cave. This loss is obviously not as great as the loss of the formula."
"That's right, elder is right."
"If our tribe can develop and become stronger in the future, it will definitely be related to the formula."
"Compared to the benefits of obtaining the formula, the threat of the people from a different race is obviously much smaller."
In an instant, the people around them all nodded in agreement.
When the young man called Ah Jiu saw this situation, he immediately fell silent. After all, so many people had already agreed, how could he still object?
At that moment, the elder turned around again and looked at Linlong, saying, "Sir, please treat Ah Long and the others first. When they get better, it will not be too late for us to discuss the deal."
The meaning of this sentence was very clear. If you can't even save them, then naturally there would be no deal between us.
"Of course." Linlong nodded.
After saying that, he took out an antidote pill and handed it to Ah Ying beside him, saying, "Ah Ying, crush this antidote pill and then pour it into the water. When the time comes, we will split it equally and feed each of them one portion."
To be honest, the effect of this antidote pill was more than enough to deal with the poison of the Dark Rat. Because of this, Linlong divided the antidote pill into so many portions.
It could be said that using an antidote pill alone was basically a waste.
"Alright." Ah Ying nodded, then carefully took the antidote pill, as if she was afraid that it would accidentally fall on the ground and damage it.
Then, she handed it to someone outside. That person was also very careful. After all, this antidote pill was related to the lives of Ah Long and the others. If it accidentally fell on the ground and was damaged, and the person in front of them only had one, what if Ah Long and the others died because of it?
After that person took the antidote pill, he carefully put it into a wooden bowl, then gently mashed it, and finally put some water in.
After scooping the powder evenly, that person suddenly thought of something, then looked up at Linlong and asked, "Sir, the poison in Ah Long's body is heavier. Do you need to drink more?"
"No need." Linlong said directly.
After hearing this, that person began to feed Ah Long and the others.
Then, everyone just looked at Ah Long and the others to see the effect of the antidote pill given by Linlong and if it could save Ah Long and the others.
During this process, under the request of Elder and the others, Ah Ying also fiddled with the medicinal herbs that Ah Liang brought over just now.
Before fiddling, Ah Ying apologized to Linlong.
Ah Long expressed his understanding. After all, if it were him, it would be the same.
Ah Ying's technique was very skilled, but the process of mixing the powder was obviously too complicated and cumbersome. After fiddling with it for a long time, the whole process was only half done.
On the other hand, Linlong's antidote pill had a little effect. Ah Long was the first to see the effect because he was the most deeply poisoned, so the reaction was the most obvious.
The deep purple color of the swelling on his body slowly faded and turned into a deep red color. Not only that, but his consciousness also became clearer from its original blurry state.
Although he still could not speak, he could hear what the people around him said and nodded slightly.
Seeing this scene, everyone around was a little excited.
Because, in their opinion, with Ah Long's injuries, even the medicine that they had prepared previously could not save him. Who knew that after drinking the bowl of medicine just now, there would be such an immediate improvement.
