Chapter 558 Qingmang Clan

As the heat subsided, the fox really felt much better. It blinked and raised its head. Gu Shiyi asked it,

"Think about it carefully, did you eat anything we haven't eaten, and touch anything we haven't touched?"

The fox thought about it again and shook his head.

"No, I eat more than you except ant eggs..."

When I got to this point, I was suddenly stunned.
"Could it be the ant eggs?"

The two looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi slapped his thigh.
"I told you long ago that it's okay for me to eat as much of that stuff as I want, but you can't eat too much. What's going on now...something's wrong!"

The fox looked aggrieved.

"I...I didn't expect that!"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"It's probably because that thing is too nutritious. You've taken too much!"

The fox thought for a moment and replied,
"Then...then I won't eat..."

It turns out that this problem cannot be solved by not eating and then having diarrhea!
The fox's high fever never subsided, and she could only hold the fish pearl all the time. Even though the king found her a lot of fever-reducing herbs, it was of no use at all. She began to stop eating and was always listless. Gu Shiyi and the king tried all the methods they could think of, but except for the fish pearl which still had some effect, the rest were all in vain!
This time, Gu Shiyi and the king were really staring at each other in amazement. The fox had not eaten for five days, but her hair was getting redder and bright red. She looked like a burning flame when she lay there. Gu Shiyi was frightened, fearing that she would spontaneously combust!

"Can not be done!"

Gu Shiyi held his chin and shook his head slowly.
"If this continues, Fox may not be able to hold on... We have to find a doctor for her!"

"But where can we find a doctor in this desolate mountain area?"

In order to avoid those barbarian wizards, they have reached the deepest part of the wilderness. Not to mention the human monks, even the barbarian tribes seldom come here. Even if there are no obstacles along the way, flying back to the human race in the Central Plains day and night will take at least a month. I'm afraid that the foxes will be burned to death before they reach the destination!

Gu Shiyi looked at the fox's bright eyes, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said,
"There's no other way... Let's look around first... As long as there are people living there will always be someone who can cure the disease!"

He then rode on the evil wind and began to look around for a place where people lived. In the deep wilderness, there were ferocious beasts everywhere. Even the tribes blessed by the witch god did not dare to live here. They flew south for a full thousand miles before they saw a village.

"There's someone over there!"

Gu Shiyi was overjoyed. From a high altitude, she saw that the village hidden in the green sea seemed quite large. She sent down a demonic wind.

"My king, go and take a look. Be careful!"

The king responded and disappeared into the ground. After about an hour, the king came back and said happily,

"Gu Shiyi, that village is so big, twice as big as the Black Water Witch Clan's village!"

"really?"

That’s a big city!

A big city means there are many people, and where there are many people, there are naturally more people who get sick, so there must be doctors!

They are desperate and are trying every possible means. Even if there are doctors here, they only treat humans. How could they treat the monsters?

The king gave her another piece of good news.

"Gu Shiyi, there are no such stone pillars in that city!"

"No stone pillars?"

Gu Shiyi was surprised and suspicious.

"Look carefully, why are there no stone pillars?"

That stone pillar is the symbol of the witch god. Don’t the people here all believe in the witch god?

If there are no pillars, do the people in that city not believe in witches and gods?

So...what do they believe?

The king nodded his little head twice.

"Really? There really aren't any stone pillars. I saw that there were some originally, but they were destroyed by someone..."

It was precisely because there were no stone pillars and no power of the witch god to block the way that the king could travel freely underground. He went straight into the center of the city, came out from a remote alley, mixed in the crowd and arrived at the center of the village. He saw that in the empty field that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, there was only a stone foundation left where the stone pillars should have been! After listening to his narration, Gu Shiyi became even more suspicious.

"So... did you see the witch?"

The king shook his head.

"No, I only saw many soldiers with bows and swords... patrolling in groups..."

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself,

"Teams of soldiers are patrolling. Could it be that...something big happened in this village?"

This is a good thing for them, as they can take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters!
Gu Shiyi decided.
"Come on, let's go in!"

Since there was no protection from the stone pillar, it would be very easy for Gu Shiyi and the others to sneak in. In a short while, they appeared in a remote and deserted corner. Gu Shiyi changed her appearance again, making herself look like the cheap uncle Gu Wang she had met before. Beside her was her little grandson, and the fox was put into her spirit beast bag because it was too weak.

Gu Wang, a thin and capable old man, walked into the crowd on the street holding his chubby grandson's hand. No one around noticed anything unusual. Gu Wang first went to the empty field with his grandson, and indeed saw the stone foundation with traces still intact.

"This was just toppled not long ago!"

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked around again. He saw a group of people gathered in the east, whispering something in a circle. Gu Wang pulled his little grandson over there. Although he was born thin, he was very strong. He squeezed in there and spread his arms to the left and right. Several tall and strong men around him were pushed aside. Gu Wang stood in front of the crowd and saw two big men with knives, guarding a high-hanging animal skin with some words written on it in a messy way. It looked like a notice.

Gu Wang asked the people around him.
"Excuse me, young man, what is written on it?"

Gu Shiyi followed the real Gu Wang and learned the languages ​​of the various tribes of the barbarians. Now he can speak a few words to people from different tribes when he meets them. After entering the city and listening to the accents of the people here, he realized that this should be the place where the Qingmang tribe that Gu Wang had mentioned is located. The Qingmang tribe ranks among the top three among the tribes in the wilderness, and it is said that their barbarian king is very powerful and even the messenger of the witch god cannot resist him!
Yes, each tribe in the wilderness actually has a king, and their divine power and royal power are actually parallel. Gu Shiyi's mother, who was not destined to be with him, followed the barbarian king. However, in many tribes in the wilderness, because the barbarian kings are believers of the witch god, the power of divine power is much greater. Therefore, the barbarian king of a small tribe is basically a decoration. When people see him, at most they will salute him. It is not as good as seeing a witch. Many devout believers will kneel down and salute him.

The first few tribes in the wilderness ranking have a population of hundreds of thousands to over one million. Here, the Barbarian King holds a large army and his power is not comparable to that of the small Barbarian King. It is said that these Barbarian Kings have the blood of exotic beasts. They can be said to be half-blooded humans and half-beasts. The hybrids have inherited some of the talents of exotic beasts. Even if the witch god has boundless magic power, he can't do anything to them. Therefore, the divine power and royal power of the large tribes have been in opposition. Sometimes the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind. The fight is very fierce!

Gu Wang asked the young man next to him, and the young man was very kind. He pointed to the animal skin on top and said to him,

"The higher-ups said our king is ill..."

"sick?"

"Yes, the king has been ill for a month, and he is very ill. Our king's eldest son has issued a royal decree, saying that whoever can save the king will receive a generous reward from the king!"

"Oh, I see……"

Gu Wang looked around, leaned over and asked the young man in a low voice,
"The king is sick, why didn't you ask the witch to..."

As soon as he uttered the word "Wu", the young man covered his mouth and said with wide eyes,
"Old man, please be careful. You can't mention it in the village now..."

He gestured and pointed obscurely to the place where only the stone foundation was left.

"...Can't mention them..."

"Why...why?"

Gu Wang blinked and asked,
"I... I just came back from selling goods outside, and I wanted to do that..."

He also pointed to that place like the young man.

"…I didn't expect…"

The young man was honest and whispered,

"Everyone said that the king's illness was caused by a witch. Our eldest prince drove away all the witches and tore down the stone pillars. Now people in the village dare not mention...that..."

"Oh……"

Gu Wang blinked again.
"So that's what's going on. Then what's wrong with my king?"

"I don't know. I heard that the king went out to investigate the disturbance of the strange beasts a month ago, and he has been in bed since he came back. The doctor couldn't tell what was wrong with him. Mengba Wu Xiang even came to see him in person and said that it was because the king disrespected the witch god that he suffered this retribution. As a result, the eldest prince was furious when he heard it, and said that it was Mengba Wu Xiang who secretly harmed our king, so he sent people to drive out all the witches in the village..."

Gee!

As expected, he is the prince of a powerful family. He dares to chase away witches and push stone pillars, but nothing happens to him. Unlike me, my spiritual herbs were stolen and I was slandered. As a result, I was chased like a dog, and now the fox is sick!
Gu Wang thanked the young man and took his grandson to walk around in the crowd for a few times. He found that things were pretty much the same as the young man said. As the sun was setting, the number of people on the street began to thin out. Gu Wang looked at the increasing number of patrol teams on the street and thought that he should find a place to stay.

The grandfather and grandson walked to an empty corner. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the grandson disappeared in a flash. The old man seemed to be tired and sat down on a big rock to rest. After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the grandson suddenly appeared again and whispered a few words in his grandfather's ear. Then the grandfather and grandson held hands again, turned around the corner and disappeared...

"I have inquired about that family. There is only an old woman living there. It is said that the old woman has a very strange temper. She drove away her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, and lives alone in a stilt house... She sleeps on the second floor, and we will sleep on the third floor where miscellaneous items are piled. She shouldn't be able to find us after one night!"
