Chapter 23 - Marrow Cleansing Fruit Incident

Mu Bei didn't study the crystal ball in his hand. He put the crystal in the animal skin bag, put two crystal eggs the size of his head in it, and started shouting outside: "Uncle Mao, come in!"

Mao quickly led his men into the salt mine and was shocked to see Mu Bei standing next to the crystal python. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Bei said, "Uncle Mao, don't worry, the crystal python is dead."

Mao was relieved and came to the crystal python to observe the cause of its death. "It should have died from fighting with a ferocious beast." Mu Bei said.

Mao saw the eggs in Mu Bei's animal hide bag and said, "You don't want to raise this, do you?" Mu Bei said, "Try it. If you can't raise it, either release it or eat its meat."

"It's difficult to raise it. If successful, the tribe will have crystals to use in the future." Mao said with a smile.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use. Except for looking good." Mu Bei said.

Mu Bei and the others smashed the salt blocks and put them in animal skin bags. Mu Bei found that even if everyone carried a few bags, they couldn't carry much. And it was not easy to carry. Each totem warrior had the strength, but it was not easy to carry. Mu Bei said, "Uncle Mao, I'll go out for a while." Mao shouted from behind, "Don't run too far."

Mubei came to the jungle and found a dense tree and cut it down. Mubei prepared to make ten double wheelbarrows. It took Mubei more than ten minutes to make one. His strength was useful. The width was only about 1.5 meters and the length was 4 meters with two wheels in front and back. The roads in the forest were very narrow, mostly in the mountains. If he couldn't pull it, he could lift it.

After seeing the wheelbarrow, Mao decided to collect more. He would collect for a whole morning tomorrow and then set off for the return trip after lunch. As for the crystal python, Mao was going to have someone carry it to the camp at night, but the crystal python turned into crystal gray and blended into nature. Mao sighed that the strange beast was indeed extraordinary. Mu Bei estimated that it was a crystal python, and it might have laid two eggs at the cost of its life.

When the second one was hit, Mao began to arrange people to load the carts. Two people pulled one of the ten wheelbarrows, and the rest of the people guarded on both sides. This time, the amount of salt loaded was more than the previous ten times.

Mu Bei walked in the front, checking the road conditions and the movements of the beasts. When he was very close to the tribe, Mu Bei stopped and began to signal everyone behind to stop. Mao came to the front and asked, "Did Bei find anything?"

"Uncle Mao, there is a fierce beast ahead, a golden-horned, long-tailed leopard." The tribe records that this mid-level fierce beast lives around the tribe.

"Bei, are you sure it's a golden-horned long-tailed leopard?" "Uncle Mao, there are only two types of leopard-like beasts living around the tribe. One is the afterimage leopard, and the other is the golden-horned long-tailed leopard. The afterimage leopard basically doesn't hunt during the day."

Mao began to make gestures, and everyone put down their wheelbarrows and quickly surrounded the golden horn leopard. Mu Bei followed the team members and also moved closer to the golden horn. Birds chirped around the jungle, which was the signal to attack.

Mu Bei quickly moved towards the center, and suddenly a shadow attacked him. Mu Bei quickly thrust the spear in his hand forward, and with a "pop", Mu Bei felt that he had hit the prey. Although Mu Bei was attacking blindly, he still chose to attack the head.

When Mu Bei saw it clearly, the golden-horned long-tailed leopard's neck was pierced by the spear, hitting the vital part. After a few twitches, it completely returned to nature. Several people cleaned up the battlefield and left quickly. This time no accidents occurred, and everyone quickly returned to the tribe.

Mu Bei returned home and prepared to wash up. "Bei, you have hurt Yong badly. Now he has diarrhea and can't even stand up. Is what you said at the beginning reliable?!" Li shouted outside.

"Father, don't worry. It will be difficult to go out hunting in two days. This is the best time to experiment with the Marrow Cleansing Fruit. Uncle Yong will be better in a few days, and he will thank me then." Mu Bei said as he washed.

"Just wait, kid. If the Marrow Cleansing Fruit doesn't have the effects you said, Yong will definitely beat you up."

Mu Bei muttered as he washed, "Who knows who will beat whom by then."

After washing, Mu Bei prepared to go see Yong. If he didn't observe him, his original words would seem a bit fake. He went to give Yong some confidence and let him know that he was always paying attention to him.

When Mu Bei wandered to Yong's house, many clansmen gathered outside. Bei thought something had happened and rushed forward to check. He saw Yong lying on the bed at home, his face pale and his whole body listless.

"Uncle Yong, how are you? Do you feel drained now? Don't worry, this is a normal reaction. You will be fine once the impurities in your body are discharged." Mu Bei stepped forward and said.

Yong reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Mu Bei and said weakly: "Bei, are you sure everything will be fine after the impurities are removed."

"I'm sure Uncle Yong, you don't have to worry. This is just a process." Before Mu Bei finished speaking, he heard the sound of "puffing", and instantly a fishy smell spread from Yong's body to the entire room.

Mu Bei ran away immediately, saying as he ran, "Uncle Yong, this is a normal reaction. I'll come to see you again when I have time." Mu Bei ran out of Yong's room. The corridor outside was full of fishy smell. No wonder so many people were watching.

Mu Bei has confirmed that he can cleanse the marrow and clear the meridians. Mu Bei quickly came to the witch's residence and heard a quarrel as soon as he entered. The quarrel stopped when Mu Bei entered. Mu Bei walked up to the witch and the leader, saluted, and stood aside.

"Bei, tell me, is the Marrow Cleansing Fruit real?" the leader asked. Mu Bei instantly realized that someone must have made a complaint.

"I came here to tell Wu about this. Wu, I have confirmed that the marrow cleansing fruit is real." Mu Bei said. After hearing this, the eyes of several people in the hall lit up.

"Are you sure?" the leader asked in surprise.

"It is confirmed. I just came from Uncle Yong's house. Now I can confirm that the Marrow Cleansing Fruit can remove impurities from the body and remove hidden injuries. As for other effects, they are still under study."

"You also heard that your captain paid a great price to get a place in the experiment. What else do you have to say now?" The leader turned around and said to the people who came to complain. Seeing that they were not talking, the leader continued: "You go back first. Yong will be fine, Fang Xin."

As soon as the others left, Mao stepped forward and asked, "Are you sure Bei can cleanse the marrow and clear the meridians?"

"Yes, Uncle Mao, I have just confirmed it."

"We can't make a fuss about this. It concerns the unity of the tribe." The leader said seriously.

"Don't worry, Chief. I'm sure of it."

The leader continued, "Who of you will still say that Yong is a reckless man? Yong's team members came to complain as soon as Bei came back. It seems that he is unsure. Let the team members test whether the marrow cleansing fruit is reliable."

"When I came back, I went to see Yong. He was exhausted. Even high-level totem warriors couldn't bear it. This proves that this fruit is extraordinary." Mao said jokingly.

"Now we just have to wait for the results and see what changes Yong will make after he gets better." The leader said with a smile.

"It just so happens that winter is coming, and everyone will have time to enter a weak period." Mu Bei said.

"Don't let all of them enter the weak period at once. Come one team at a time. There is plenty of time in winter. The guard of the tribe cannot be careless at all." said the witch.

"Wu, I have a question. I wonder if I can ask it." Mu Bei said. Wu motioned for Mu Bei to speak.

Mu Bei said: "Why doesn't our tribe encourage childbirth?"

"Let me answer you. It's not that the tribe does not encourage childbirth. It has encouraged childbirth in the past, but the effect was not great. One reason why it is not encouraging childbirth now is that the tribe is in a weak period now and does not have the ability to feed too many people." The chief sighed helplessly.
