Chapter 538: 538
"Black Bone! Black Bone! Come out, quick! It's time to search for the single-horned shadow dragon!" All of a sudden, the yellow werewolf's shouts could be heard from the outside .
Lu Sheng was just about to start strengthening his body when he was interrupted . He stood up in a bout of helplessness .
'Seems like I'll have to deal with this issue first . I'll take this opportunity to observe this world as well . '
"What's the matter, Gold?"
This yellow werewolf's name was Gold . Rumor had it that he knew that the humans and many other tribes liked gold, and hence thought fondly of the word . He wanted all the females to like him, and so he changed his name to Gold .
Gold ran into the earthen hut in a hurry .
"White Ash wants us to gather and not dally anymore . You've seen it as well, that poison dragon emissary wants us to find some shadow dragon . " He pulled on Lu Sheng and ran out, acting in a carefree manner as if he did not know what fear was .
Before this, Lu Sheng had not noticed it, but when he was pulled, Lu Sheng immediately felt that Gold's strength was far greater than his own .
With him being forcibly pulled out, the two werewolves made their way out of the earthen hut . They quickly navigated through the village and reached the largest hut .
This earthen hut was different from the others . It was surrounded with dried black thorns, which were more symbolic than useful defensively . These dried thorns encircled the earthen hut and made it appear ceremonial .
The main door of the hut was wide open . The old werewolf White Ash sat at the side of the door .
"I'm sure everyone has heard what the emissary has said just now, right?"
"Yes, witch doctor…"
"That's sending us to our deaths!"
"I, Iron Ridge, feel that this is unfair! We shouldn't be doing a task such as this!"
"Are they out of their minds? Every single-horned shadow dragon is terrifyingly powerful . It's not something that we can fight against!"
The group of werewolves howled furiously in a cacophony . However, the words they spouted were simple in meaning . It was clear that most of them were simple-minded individuals with overgrown muscles .
The witch doctor White Ash narrowed his eyes . Hints of helplessness and sadness showed through his eyes . He was already 76 years old . For a black werewolf, that was already an unimaginably advanced age . He had seen many tribes rise to prominence and fade to nothing .
The Mangrove Forest tribe had once been a great tribe with 1,000 members, but now…
He looked around at his dozen or so kinsmen . For a time, he was unsure what he should say to them .
After staying silent for some time, he slowly said, "We must all go this time . Otherwise, if the adult werewolves leave the village while the old and frail stayed back, our village will surely come under attack by other beasts . "
Everyone understood what he meant . They would also move out with the entire tribe occasionally before this . The habit of the werewolf tribe was to never change their way of life . They were nomadic hunters .
If their space for survival had not been overly suppressed, forcing them to occupy this small village abandoned by the humans, they would have left this dangerous land for greener pastures elsewhere long ago .
"Before we depart, bring all those who are wounded to me," White Ash added in the end . Then, he turned around and walked into the earthen hut . The door was wide open, but there was no longer any sound from within .
"I'll go!" A strong-looking, yellow-furred werewolf raised his chest and walked into the earthen hut .
He was called Steel Shield . He was the werewolf that had a scuffle with Black Bone, whom Lu Sheng had Arrived into .
Steel Shield walked toward the hut and flexed his arm about . His right arm was injured . He had lost some of his skin . The bloody mess seemed serious, but this was only a minor injury for the werewolves .
Lu Sheng stood at the periphery of the crowd . When Steel Shield walked out, flames of anger suddenly rose within him .
'Is this the remaining anger left within this body? Don't worry, I'll handle this soon . '
He was entertaining his thoughts when the other werewolves went into the earthen hut and came out of it after a short while . He went in as well .
The interior of the hut was slightly dark . There was a slight moldy smell of the dried herbs .
The old werewolf White Ash bent his back and was fumbling about for something on a tattered shelf .
He saw Lu Sheng come in . He glanced at the wound on his head . The palm-length wound could even be seen through his black fur . Although the bleeding had stopped and the wound was even showing signs of healing, the size of the wound did not change much in such a short period of time .
"That's a serious one . Black Bone, you shouldn't confront Steel Shield in the future . He's much stronger than you," the old witch doctor muttered . "Such a big wound . I don't think my herbs will be enough…"
"There won't be a next time," Lu Sheng replied softly . His voice was slightly deep . It sounded exceptionally solemn in the dark earthen hut .
White Ash was slightly stunned . However, he did not hesitate . He poured out a clump of sticky wax-colored substance from a chipped stone bowl with skilled movements . He scooped some with his paw and pressed it directly onto Lu Sheng's head .
Lu Sheng resisted his strong urge to dodge, allowing the old werewolf to slather his wound with the substance .
A pungent smell kept attacking his nostrils .
At the same time, a faint, cooling sensation was slowly spreading from his wound to his limbs . He had a faint but extremely comfortable feeling .
Lu Sheng had intended to see just how skilled this witch doctor was in an attempt at understanding the intricacies of this world's system . He would base his future adjustments on this new information .
It now appeared that his effort was not in vain . No medicinal herb would take effect this quickly . There had to be some secret behind this .
Lu Sheng opened his eyes and could see a faint grayish-white glow flickering in White Ash's palm . The fur was obstructing his view .
"White Ash, what's glowing on your palm?"
"You can see it?" White Ash was slightly stunned . A hint of shock and disbelief flashed across his old eyes .
"Mm-hm… It's a white light, it's pulsing," Lu Sheng replied honestly .
White Ash's slathering movements paused .
After a long while, he heaved a sigh .
