Chapter 226: Damn It!
Huai Shan’s words calmed the panicked hearts of the beasts, and at the same time, they three beasts kneeling on the ground saw hope.
They scrambled over and hugged Huai Shan’s calf while begging him.
“Please save our people! They’re all infected with dead blood disease. As long as you can save them, we’ll do anything!”
The three of them were dirty and smelly from their escape. Huai Shan almost vomited from their stench.
Huai Shan shouted at the guards behind him, “What are you waiting for? Quickly help me pull these three dirty things away!”
Miu Wei led the guards to pull the three koala beasts away and stopped them from approaching Huai Shan.
Huai Shan tugged at his robe, his heart filled with hatred.
Such expensive shark silk was dirtied by those three guys. Damn them!
The three tailless bear beasts were still begging.
Unfortunately, their pleas did not soften Huai Shan’s heart. Instead, it made him even more frustrated.
He said with a dark expression, “These three escaped from the tribe that was swallowed by the dead blood disease. Perhaps they’re also infected with the dead blood disease. For safety’s sake, execute them immediately. Burn their corpses!”
Hearing that they were going to be killed, the three koala beasts immediately trembled in fear and kept shouting for justice.
“We’re not infected with dead blood! You can’t kill us!”
The guards dragged the three koala beasts away, planning to find a remote place to deal with them.
The three of them struggled desperately. Unfortunately, they were no match for the guards. They could only cry for help.
Although the other beasts couldn’t bear it, no one stopped the guards.
After all, Huai Shan was right. These three koala beasts had escaped from the tribe that was ravaged by the dead blood disease. Who knew if they had also been infected by the disease?
If they were infected, wouldn’t everyone here be in trouble?!
Huai Shan took in the changes in everyone’s expressions and knew that his words had shocked everyone. He couldn’t help but feel a little proud.
Ha, they were indeed just a group of bumpkins. Just a few words could scare them.
How ignorant!
Shuang Yun turned to Jiu Yuan and instructed him.
Jiu Yuan nodded. “I understand.”
He quickly chased after the guards with a few male wolves.
Jiu Yuan said, “Please leave these three foreign beasts to us.”
The guards thought that Jiu Yuan wanted to deal with the koalas himself. It just so happened that they couldn’t be bothered to kill the koalas themselves, so they handed them to Jiu Yuan.
The three koala beasts cried. “Please don’t kill us. We’re really not infected. We don’t want to die. Boo-hoo!”
Jiu Yuan said, “Alright, stop crying.”
“Boo-hoo!”
Jiu Yuan’s eyes were ferocious. “If you cry again, I’ll kill you now!”
The three koala beasts immediately shut their mouths in fear, not daring to make a sound. They could only look at Jiu Yuan with tears in their eyes. Their gazes were filled with pleading and despair.
Jiu Yuan said to the male wolves behind him, “Take the three of them to the cave behind the temporary residence and watch them closely. Without the permission of the patriarch, no one is allowed to approach them.”
“Alright!”
The male wolves strode forward and dragged the koala beasts towards the cave.
Seeing this, Huai Shan immediately shouted, “Where are you taking them? They’re probably infected with dead blood disease. They have to be executed immediately!”
Jiu Yuan didn’t even look at him as he walked away with the three koala beasts.
Huai Shan was abnormally angry at being ignored.
He pointed at Shuang Yun and questioned aggressively, “What do you mean by this? You know that those three guys might be infected with the dead blood disease, but you’re still letting them live. If they fall ill, do you want all of us to die here?!”
The beasts all looked at Shuang Yun, not understanding why he was doing this.
They hoped Shuang Yun would give them a reasonable explanation.
Shuang Yun sneered. “There were people here who were infected with dead blood disease before. According to you, does that mean all the beasts here might be infected with dead blood disease and should be executed?”
Everyone was stunned.
Huai Shan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “There were people here who were infected with dead blood disease? Why didn’t I know about it?!”
“There are a lot of things you don’t know. This is no exception.”
Huai Shan was afraid that he would be infected.
He immediately took out a black crystal from his pocket and held it tightly in his palm. He asked nervously, “What about the beasts who were infected with dead blood disease? Did you kill them? Were their bodies burned?”
The beasts present were a little shocked.
They remembered that before winter came last year, a few beasts had suddenly fallen sick in their temporary residence. At that time, they thought it was just an ordinary illness and did not take it to heart.
Later, the sick beasts were cured, and the matter was quickly forgotten.
That illness did not leave an impression in the minds of many.
However, from what Patriarch Shuang Yun had said just now, it seemed that the illness that time was not simple. Those beasts were very likely infected with dead blood disease.
Thinking of this, the beasts’ expressions became very interesting.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the dead blood disease that they thought had only existed in rumors had appeared beside them.
Legend had it that once a beast was infected, there was only death and a terrible disease that reduced them to monsters that awaited them. It turned out that they could be cured.
At the thought of this, the dead blood disease seemed to become less terrifying.
Shuang Yun ignored Huai Shan’s series of questions and spoke calmly to everyone.
“Before winter came last year, there were beasts in the temporary residence who were infected with dead blood disease. In order not to cause panic, I didn’t tell everyone the truth.”
The beasts all pricked up their ears and looked at Shuang Yun quietly, listening to his explanation.
Shuang Yun continued, “Many of you have seen those beasts who were infected with dead blood disease and know their symptoms after being infected. Compare them to the three koalas just now. Do you think they look infected?”
The beasts recalled the symptoms of the few beasts who had contracted the dead blood disease.
Among them, the infected people knew the symptoms the best.
“I felt cold and hot all over. My mind was groggy.”
“Yes, I couldn’t muster any strength. I couldn’t even move, let alone cry.”
“In comparison, other than being a little disheveled, the three koala beasts don’t look like they’ve been infected with dead blood disease.”
…
Amidst the chatter, the conclusion gradually surfaced.
When everyone was done discussing, Shuang Yun gestured for everyone to quiet down.
