The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"I want you two protecting the clinic at all times till he is fit to move around safely..."

"Allow no one in or out…" She commanded as Ji Wang and Uncle Min bowed;

"Yes, Tribe Lady…"

The duo bowed slightly before moving towards the clinic to begin their guard duty whilst Aunt Lin took the mount back to the den where she fed it water and some food before leaving it to rest…

She then returned to the plateau to bring a new set of outfit for Dara who she believed would have been stripped naked at this point…

But the moment she entered his residence, she first staggered and fell to the wall before sliding down to the ground and then breaking down is fearful tears…

With the way they prevented her from seeing Dara and initiated a 'state of emergency' told her that Dara returned in an extremely bad shape, and after a few minutes  she managed to return to her feet and entered his room where she rummaged around to grab some outfits for him…

She also gathered some food and fresh water as she rushed back towards the clinic…

Meanwhile…

Within the Clinic…

"Master, his condition is currently stable…"

"Good… You, administer some pain resistant to him as well as that sleeping potion…"

Elder Ting received report from her senior student and gave orders to the junior who simply turned to the other part of the room where a shelf which was as long as the entire 10 meter wall filled from top to bottom with several kinds of potions stood…

Her eyes darted around the shelf as she found the two potions she was looking for, and quickly rushed over to the unconscious Dara before opening his mouth which instantly leaked with blood that poured into her hands as she froze…

"Oi! Little Kin, what're you doing, get on with it!"

The senior student saw her junior staring at her bloodied hands and trembling in fright as she snapped her out of her daze with a shout;

"Aye!" The little girl replied in a fearful, trembling, timid tone as she placed the potion bottle on Dara's lips before tilting it slightly…

"Don't forget to prop his head up a little to allow the liquid flow into him quicker…" The senior added as she moved over to Elder Ting who was preparing some bandages and ointment and whispered into her ears;

"He seemed to be suffering from grievous internal injuries…"

"Should I prepare our latest invention?" She asked;

"Yes… Use it!" Elder Ting replied;

"But we haven't been able to test it on internal injuries yet…" The disciple reminded;

"It doesn't matter, we have to do whatever we can to keep him alive otherwise we are doomed…" Elder Ting replied but still saw some hesitation in her disciple's eyes;

"We have tested it on external wounds already and they seem to work out fine, so there is a greater chance it will work!"

She yelled at her disciple who also flurried over to the other side of the room where several wooden jars were placed…

She dipped her hand into one of them and took it out, only for her junior to see her seniors hands filled with numerous gooey worms squirming around…

"It doesn't matter, we have to do whatever we can to keep him alive otherwise we are doomed…" Elder Ting replied but still saw some hesitation in her disciple's eyes;

"We have tested it on external wounds already and they seem to work out fine, so there is a greater chance it will work!"

She yelled at her disciple who also flurried over to the other side of the room where several wooden jars were placed…

She dipped her hand into one of them and took it out, only for her junior to see her seniors hands filled with numerous gooey worms squirming around…

Then the Senior Disciple took it to the Younger Disciple and mixed the works with the anesthetic potion they were about to feed Dara;

"Senior Zhao, I thought those were for sealing external wounds!?" The Younger Disciple asked in terror;

"Why are you feeding it to the Tribe Leader?"

"Those are larva who needs a little of human blood before evolving into a new species of wild butterfly we just discovered…"

"They suck a little blood and excrete some sort of coagulants that is actually healthy to humans themselves…"

"They will seek the parts of the human body where blood is coming out of the most and that it where they will feed…"

"I have mixed some of them with the potion to allow them ease of access to wherever in his body is bleeding internally…"

"They will find it, feed on those spaces and excrete the coagulants over this tear, rupture or cut like they are trying to save their food source from wasting…"

"Then that way, our patient's life could be saved, and once he just awakens, we will feed him something that would make him excrete the all…"

The Senior Disciple Zhao explained as the Junior Disciple also nodded signifying that she gets the point…

Elder Ting also saw this and she could not help but give a smirk of pride;

These were her disciples and not only were they shrewdly intelligent and eager to learn, but they are also good girls with decent morals…

It was this atmosphere of relief that Aunt Lin walked in to find;

"Tribe Lady!" Elder Ting instantly greeted;

"Eh? Un?"

The Junior Disciple seemed stunned and forgot to greet on time as her Senior Sister Zhao pinched her arms;

"~Eiy~ No Fair…"

She cried out in pain as the Senior Disciple bent her heads towards Aunt Lin and that was when she realized that there was a third party within the room;

"Eh? Tribe Lady!" The Junior Disciple blanched at first before throwing her head into a bow as she greeted…

"How is he!?" Aunt Lin asked with a quaking voice which indicated how much she had been crying;

"He is stable, my lady…"

"We just applied an antidote that would help stop the internal bleeding…"

"Do you think he would survive this?" Aunt Lin asked with pleading eyes;

"Do you want the truth?" Elder Ting asked as Aunt Lin nodded her head;

"We are not sure..."

"But the best we are hoping at this point is to at least get him into coma; at least by then we will still have a hope of him recovering… But-"

"But what?"
