Master of Orcs

Along the way, Fu Ruhui sometimes woke up and fell asleep, but most of the time he was in a coma, and the murloc's toxin slowly began to spread to Fu Ruhui's whole body.

In order to take him back to the tribe as soon as possible, Elios found rattan and tied Fu Ruhui to his back, then transformed into a beast shape, spread his wings day and night, and finally arrived on the fifth day.

A shadow quickly swept across the ground. Toby and Todd, who were patrolling around the tribe, looked up and found the familiar golden beast shadow, and quickly greeted them happily.

"Hey! Isn't that Elios? Back!"

"Hey, hey! Elios! I heard that you are going to hunt the Moktu python this time, so get it!"

Glancing down at the excited friends, Elios didn't bother to say hello to them.The body temperature of the person on the back is getting colder and colder, now only the only pharmacist in the tribe—Jin can save Fu Ruhui.

"Strange? Why is he ignoring us?" Seeing Elios' furious look, Toby scratched his head and turned to ask his twin brother Todd.

"There seems to be something on his back..." Todd rubbed his chin, "Let's go find him after the shift."

As soon as he saw Jin's house, Elios swooped down quickly, and after turning back into a human form in mid-air, he held Fu Ruhui in his arms.

Kicking open the door of Gene's house, Elios yelled, "Jean! Save him!"

The black-haired man who was making medicine turned around, frowned slightly and looked at Elios who had barged in recklessly, with a hint of reproach in his black eyes.

Pharmacists are very important in every tribe in the beast world.Although Jin is a female, he is also the only pharmacist in the tribe, so his status in the tribe is extraordinary.

Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Elios' rudeness, but when he saw Fu Ruhui with a green face in his arms, Jin turned pale with fright, and quickly asked Elios to put him on the bed.

"What's up with him?"

Jin carefully lifted the cloth covering Fu Ruhui's body, and found that the female had wounds all over her body.In particular, there was a long laceration on the flank, which was obviously bitten by something ferocious, and the wound was so severe that even Gene felt terrified when he saw it.

"He was bitten by a murloc, Gene, save him quickly, this is already the fifth day!"

"What! It's the fifth day! Why didn't you come sooner..." In the middle of speaking, Gene finally saw Elios clearly at this moment, and he was also covered with wounds from the sneak attack of the beast.Only then did Gene remember that Elios had brought the seriously injured female back from the Forest of the Undead.

However, when Jin was inspecting Fu Ruhui's body, he suddenly found that there was nothing on the right blade of the female's back, and he was shocked and stunned on the spot.

Seeing that Gene didn't move for a long time, Elios asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

"...I...it's fine," Gene paused, then picked up a small bowl on the table and said to Elios, "You stay here and rub the medicine in this bowl evenly on his body. I will go to Herbert for the fruit of the sacred tree."

Upon hearing this, Elios quickly took the bowl and nodded in agreement.

Elios, who was focused on Fu Ruhui, didn't notice Jin's staggering steps when he left the house.

After Gene left the house, he didn't go to Herbert immediately, but went to the patriarch Elton first.

Facing Gene, who looked slightly flustered, Elton asked a little strangely: "Gene, what happened?"

"Elios, he brought a person back from the Forest of the Undead... just like that person!"

"What!" Elton, who was originally sitting on the stool, stood up in shock when he heard it, "Really?"

Jean nodded vigorously and said, "That man doesn't have a pattern on his back that symbolizes a female in the beast world."

Elton was silent.

"Also, this person has been poisoned by the murloc. If he doesn't have the fruit of the holy tree, he will..."

Before Gene could finish speaking, Elton strode to the door, stood for a while, then turned to Gene and said, "To save or not to save, we will make a decision when we find Herbert."

Herbert is a wizard with a high status in the tribe. He lives alone in the holy temple all year round and is also the guardian of the holy tree.

In the hearts of all the tribal people, he is the messenger of the gods, bringing everyone the will of the gods, so he is highly respected.Because of this, although Herbert is a female, he must serve the gods all his life and must not form a partner with other orcs.

It didn't take long for Elton to take Gene to the holy temple.

In fact, to be honest, this place cannot be called a temple, because it is just a closed boundary surrounded by huge stones.

But this piece of land is next to a cave, and inside this cave is the holy tree.

Before Elton landed, he and Gene saw the silver-haired Herbert standing at the gate of the temple to welcome them.

"I have a hunch that you will come." Herbert smiled and stepped forward, "What's the matter?"

"Herbert..." Gene didn't know how to speak.

Elton snapped back and said, "Let's go in and talk about it."

As expected, after Herbert heard Gene's words, the blood color pulled away from his already pale face little by little.

Clutching his hands hidden in his cuffs, Herbert said:

"...We can't easily give him the fruit of the holy tree... We all understand what it means to give that person the fruit of the holy tree."

"But I can only watch him die. As a pharmacist, I can't do it!" Gene also expressed his attitude.

Herbert looked at Gene, then back at Elton.

"Patriarch, do you also think it should be given to him?"

"...I..." Elton hesitated.

"Elton, I can see that Elios attaches great importance to him." Gene said to Elton, "Elios would not hesitate to bring him back from the Forest of the Dead in order to save this man, if he As a father, you should understand how sad the child will be when he dies."

Elton was taken aback: "This..."

Herbert looked at the two, lowered his eyes, and said very calmly: "Jean, you should know that the fruit of the sacred tree is the most precious treasure in the tribe, and we will never give it to foreigners."

"But..." Hearing that Herbert did not hesitate to move out of the family rules, Gene gritted his teeth and said, "If he agrees to become the female of Elios in the future, he will not be considered a foreigner."

"How can you be sure?" Herbert looked up at him, "If... if this person is like him... what should we do?"

At this moment, all three were silent.

"As long as he agrees to join our clan after he recovers, it's not considered a violation of the clan rules." Elton finally spoke.

"You guys!" Understanding what they meant, Herbert lowered his head helplessly, "...Maybe I should have told you the truth long ago. Since his death, the sacred tree has not produced fruit for many years. This time I really Nothing can be done."

"Why!" Gene and Elton were both shocked.

"No! I don't believe it!" Gene shook his head.

"I'll show you to find out." Herbert then took Gene and Elton to the sacred tree.

Walking into the cave, looking at the sacred tree not far away that was shining with a faint golden light under the nourishment of a ray of sunlight, the three of them stood there dumbfounded.The most shocking among them was Herbert.

He couldn't help but trot excitedly to the tree, looking at the golden fruit hanging on the branch.

"This... this is impossible! I just came to see it a few days ago..."

As if to make sure that the scene in front of him was real, he stretched out his hand and picked the fruit himself.The real touch and weight in his hand made Herbert finally believe the truth.

"Since the holy tree bears fruit now, please give it to me quickly, that person is about to die."

Herbert nodded numbly, allowing Gene to take the precious fruit from him.

When Elton led Gene out of the cave, Herbert put his hand on the tree trunk and said softly, "Could it be... are you waiting for this person to appear..."

Herbert lowered his head, and the drooping silver wire completely covered his face.

Just behind the sacred tree, in a small corner, there is a mound of earth, and a stone tablet stands in front of it.

On that stone tablet, there are five characters engraved crookedly.

【Tomb of Chen Jianhua】

When Jin came back, Elios had already applied ointment to Fu Ruhui's whole body.

Seeing his father and Jin coming in, Elios had a look of surprise on his face, but he did not forget to put the cloth on Fu Ruhui again.

"Father, why do you..."

"Get out of the way first." Elton ordered, and Elios quickly got up to give way to Genn.

When he saw the golden fruit in Jin's hand, Elios' eyes lit up.

It is the fruit of the sacred tree!He is saved!

While watching Gene feed the fruit to Fu Ruhui, Elton, who was standing beside him, asked his son, "Elios, is he your female?"

"...It will definitely be."

Seeing his son's bright eyes, Elton sighed in his heart.

Son, I hope you will be able to keep him in the future...
