The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 25 Husband and wife quarrel
Ling Xiao's gaze was too intense, and the emotions in his eyes were exceptionally complex, making it difficult for Ling Chengen to ignore him.

She had to repeat the topics she had discussed with Chongzhen at noon, but she still couldn't put her worried father's mind at ease.

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Chengen, who was slicing fatty meat, opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Ling Chengen looking up.

"Father, how many metal-type superpowered warriors do we have in our tribe?"

Ling Xiao frowned and said, "Not counting the beastmen under the age of sixteen, there are currently four beastmen with metal-type abilities. Three are in the hunting team, and one is a female beastman in her forties."

"If we include Su Weihua, there are now five adult metal-type ability beastmen. And if we're talking about the highest level of ability, it has to be him."

Ling Xiao's gaze shifted to the young orc lying on the rock, his eyes filled with regret.

“Su Weihua can’t be considered useful now. I’ve used my supernatural abilities to examine his body, and his supernatural abilities are completely depleted, with no signs of recovery.” Ling Chengen no longer expects Su Weihua to be of any use in the short term.

Yu Shaochen raised his eyes and interjected, "The wounds on his face are also very strange. I covered the wounds on his face with all my superpowers. They were showing signs of healing, but they quickly burst open again. I have never seen anything like this before."

Ling Xiaoxi turned to look at her new brother-in-law number two and muttered to herself, "Could it be that your superpower is too weak?"

Yu Shaochen looked at the yellow and white tiger cub beside him, unconvinced, and defended himself.

"Although my superpower is only level four and I don't know many healing spells, I do have some healing experience."

"I can roughly estimate the extent to which my wounds will heal if I use all my superpowers."

"His injury is too strange, it's definitely not because I'm too bad."

Chongzhen held Su Weihua's head, looked down at the deep wound on his face, and after observing for a long time, frowned and said, "The wound on his face looks like it was done in two separate incidents."

Yu Shaochen also moved to Chongzhen's side and looked in the direction he was pointing: "The shallower wounds look like they were scratched by the claws of a beast, while the deeper wounds are fresh and look more like they were cut by metal or a bone knife."

Yu Shaochen brought the torch closer, squinted slightly, and after a while said with a sudden realization, "No wonder, the wounds he was scratched by the claws have been healed by my ability and are showing signs of healing. But these new wounds are not; instead, they are getting worse."

The love security system in Ling Chengen's brain had gone berserk, screaming and yelling at its expressionless host.

"Aaaaah! Those bastards from the Snow Wolf Tribe! They actually slashed up your host's third beast husband's stunningly handsome face!!!"

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable."

Ling Chengen sighed softly and communicated with the system using his mental power: "Was Su Weihua's face injured by some kind of medicine or poison?"

The system bounced around in her mental domain a few times, puffed out its cheeks, and nodded, saying, "It should be that the dagger was coated with poison. If the host wants to know the specific poison, she will need to spend energy points to test it."

"How many energy points?"

"3 energy points."

Ling Chengen said with a blank face, "Why don't you just rob it?"

System: "You have 14 energy points now, why are you still being stingy with these 3?"

“Even without your detection capabilities, if I just describe the characteristics of this toxin to the witch doctor, he will most likely be able to give me an answer, believe it or not. He might even know which herbs can be used to detoxify it.”

Ling Chengen had given up all hope for this brainless system that was obsessed with energy points.

Upon hearing her statement, the system immediately fell silent.

Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Then one energy point will do."

Ling Chengen rolled his eyes and didn't respond.

The system lowered its bottom line again and again, finally hardening its heart and saying: "Just one energy point, along with the recipe for making the antidote."

"This price is the lowest I can go! I have my dignity too, you know?!"

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes, tossed the chopped fatty meat into the hot pan, and said unhurriedly, "Deal."

"Aaaaaah, you incredibly wicked woman!"

The system was furious.

Ling Chengen, in a good mood, said, "Thank you for the compliment."

What's the point of being a good woman? It's only when you're being a bad person that you feel a sense of accomplishment.

She enjoys seeing people who dislike her but can't do anything about her, and they get all worked up about it.

The system scanned Su Weihua from head to toe and provided the most complete diagnosis results.

After reading the diagnosis results provided by the system, Ling Chengen felt somewhat sorry for this unlucky guy.

Su Weihua's body was tattered and torn, like a broken boat that could sink at any moment.

The most serious injury is nerve damage caused by spinal fracture, with a 95% chance of developing cauda equina syndrome.

To put it simply, this person is paralyzed from the waist down and cannot control their bladder and bowels. For a long time afterward, they will live without dignity.

The old witch doctor used all his powers, but could only reconnect the bones; the damaged nerves were repaired by less than 20%.

The shinbone and patella suffered comminuted fractures, and the superpower repaired about 50% of them.

The toxin in the facial wound comes from the venom glands of the Blackscale Serpent Lizard. This toxin continuously corrodes the wound, and wood-type mutant beastmen below level eight cannot completely remove this toxin with healing spells.

The old shaman of the Stone Forest is a level six wood-type shaman, already considered one of the top shamans in the Northern Wilderness Beast Plains, with abilities surpassing even his...

That means there are only super-large orc tribes closer to the southern wilderness.

Most of the witch doctors there came from the southern wilderness, and many were descendants of exiled criminals.

They consider themselves superior, vastly different from the native orcs of the Northern Wilderness, and will not easily offer assistance.

Even if one agrees to save someone, the person seeking help must pay an extremely heavy price.

But her prized beast husband... isn't worth making her pay so much.

……

While applying the antidote recipe, Ling Chengen used a stone pot to refine oil.

The crackling sounds from the stone pot attracted the attention of several adults who were looking worried.

The group suddenly became curious about what delicious food they would be eating that night.

Ling Xiao received half a triangular black pig today.

These black pigs are enormous, like small mountains, weighing over three tons. While their attack power isn't particularly strong, their defensive capabilities are exceptionally high, comparable in size to an adult hippopotamus before the apocalypse.

The Triangle Black Pig is similar to a regular meat pig, except it has three long black horns, is larger, and has a lot of fat, making it very suitable for rendering lard.

After scooping out a bamboo basket of pork cracklings, Ling Chengen sprinkled some salt and pepper on it and placed it on a flat, large rock.

"Let's have some pork cracklings to tide us over first; dinner will have to wait a while."

Yu Shaochen handed the bamboo basket to Ling Xiao first. After Ling Xiao tasted it, he then shared it with Chong Zhen, Ling Xiaoxi, and Wu Zhuo. Finally, he took a small piece of pork crackling and put it in his mouth.

Because the food was fresh out of the pot, it was a little hot, but he still covered his mouth and didn't spit it out. He just opened his mouth and breathed on it a couple of times, and then couldn't resist taking a bite of the crispy and fragrant pork cracklings.

Salty, fragrant, and crispy. He understood the meaning of these words without needing anyone to teach him.

The dark cloud that had been hanging over his heart was instantly thrown to the back of his mind, and his fingers couldn't help but reach for the bamboo basket to take a piece of pork cracklings.

Chongzhen ate in a more elegant manner, holding a small piece of pork crackling between her fingertips and slowly savoring the flavorful cooked food, with a little pepper and pork crackling crumbs still stuck to the corners of her mouth.

Ling Xiaoxi, Wu Zhuo, and Ling Xiao wolfed down their food, and didn't forget to sweetly praise Ling Chengen, who had worked the hardest.

Ling Chengen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His mouth, which had been tasting bland, was finally awakened by this familiar taste. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's alright. It would be even better if there was chili powder."

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to find chili peppers; she just picked the peppercorns by chance along the way.

Ling Chengen stir-fried a plate of potato and pork slices with lard, then casually stir-fried a plate of five large heads of lettuce he had dug up in the woods that afternoon. He then lifted the lid of the Lake Ming Beast Bone Soup that had been simmering for the afternoon, and turned to look at the whole roasted lamb in front of Ling Xiao that was already cooked to perfection...

The campfire leaps and smoke rises, it's the perfect time to eat.

Since there was no table at home, Ling Chengen went to a distant place in the afternoon to find a large rock, carried it back, and placed it next to the stone stove to serve as a temporary table.

The family gathered around the irregularly shaped "stone table" in this corner, their mouths watering as they looked at the steaming meat and vegetables on the table.

But no one made the first move. They turned to look at Ling Chengen, who was washing herself by the stream, and silently moved a stone for her to use as a stool.

When Ling Chengen returned after washing his hands, he was carrying a cracked stone pot, and his expression was rather unpleasant.

Three stone pots have already broken in the last two days.

Although stone pots are not difficult to make, finding the right stone, carving out the shape of the pot, and then grinding and polishing them all take time.

This is indeed causing some trouble.

Ling Xiao watched as she tossed the cracked pot aside, cut open a whole lamb leg with a bone knife, placed it in her personal food bowl, and patted her head to comfort her.

"It's okay if it's broken, I'll make you a few more tomorrow morning, don't be sad, okay?"

Ling Chengen shook his head, looked at the whole leg of lamb in the bowl, then glanced at Ling Xiao who was distributing roasted lamb to the others, and quickly adjusted the expression on his face.

"Thank you, Father, but I'd like to try to find a beastman with metal-type abilities to forge an iron pot."

"An iron pot?" Ling Xiao put down the bone knife in his hand and asked, puzzled, "What is iron?"

"A type of metal."

"I'll be going out tomorrow, and I'll try to see if I can find any iron ore."

Ling Chengen was already mentally prepared. Although there were metal-powered warriors on the Beast Plains, the metals they actually used were all kinds of things.

Moreover, metal-based superpowers cannot create something from nothing; they can only separate metal elements from various ores around them and mold them into the shapes they want.

Orcs who are skilled in using metal-based abilities usually extract metal from metal ores and carry it with them when they go hunting, so they can quickly control the metal to transform and attack their prey.

Ling Xiao didn't know what iron was, but he knew it was a metal, which made things easier.

He put down the bone knife and said seriously, "Before you leave tomorrow, come with me to the tribal meeting point. I'll ask those metal warriors if they have any of the metals you need in their collection."

“If they do, they should know where it’s easier to find iron ore.”

“Alright.” Ling Chengen nodded, ladled a large bowl of Lake Song Beast meat soup for him, and urged, “Father, let’s eat first. We can discuss these things after we finish eating.”

After a satisfying meal, Yu Shaochen, Ling Xiaoxi, and Wu Zhuo took a bunch of bowls, basins, and chopsticks to the stream to wash them.

Ling Chengen and Chong Zhen went to feed the unconscious Su Weihua medicine.

Ling Chengen tried his best to avoid the wounds on Su Weihua's face, pinching his cheeks and forcing him to open his mouth.

Chongzhen used one hand to scoop out the medicine with a spoon, and the other hand to press down Su Weihua's tongue with a clean bamboo stick, slowly pouring the medicine into her mouth.

After the bowl of medicine was finished, both Ling Chengen and Chong Zhen were sweating profusely.

Chongzhen put down the spoon and bamboo stick, and slowly let out a breath: "Feeding medicine is such a hassle."

Ling Chengen looked at the blood on his hands, sprinkled the medicinal powder left by the witch doctor on Su Weihua's face, and then turned to wash it off by the stream.

When she returned, she saw Chongzhen with a gloomy face, staring intently at Su Weihua's wound that was bleeding again.

"What kind of poison was used on this wound? Even if Su Weihua couldn't lead them to victory in this battle, how could they, as members of their tribe, be so ruthless?"

Ling Chengen stretched his slightly sore shoulders and neck, and said quietly, "I don't know much about the Snow Wolf Tribe, but the wound on his face can't heal, it must be because of the venom of the Xuanlin Snake Lizard."

"Black-scaled Serpent Lizard?"

Chongzhen looked up at Ling Chengen, who was standing with his back to the light, and was momentarily dazed.

Ling Chengen sighed deeply: "There are two ways to detoxify. One is to find a witch doctor with supernatural abilities exceeding level eight and use healing magic to forcibly remove the poison."

"Another method is to hunt a black-scaled snake lizard, use its bile and blood as medicine, and combine it with several other medicinal materials to make an antidote."

Chongzhen tried to see her expression, but her face was completely shrouded in darkness and she couldn't see it at all.

"You're not planning to hunt the Black-scaled Serpent Lizard, are you?"

His tone was hesitant, but for some reason he was already certain that Ling Chengen would choose the second method to detoxify Su Weihua.

"You'd better not go hunting Blackscale Lizards alone. Do you know how dangerous they are?"

Ling Chengen tilted his head, cracked his knuckles, and chuckled, "What? Worried your long-term meal ticket will be lost to a snake-lizard?"

"What kind of time is this to be joking?" Chongzhen sighed deeply, rubbing his temples, his head aching terribly. "You have absolutely no idea what a Xuanlin Serpent Lizard is, do you?"

"Not really."

When the system presented two detoxification options, it predicted that she would definitely choose the second one.

Therefore, the relevant information about the Black-scaled Serpent Lizard was attached directly after the second method.

"Since you know that, why are you still thinking of hunting snake lizards?"

Looking at her nonchalant appearance, Chongzhen felt a little tempted to pry open her head and see what was inside!
"The Black-scaled Serpent Lizard lives in the misty swamp in the northeast of the wasteland."

"And the Misty Swamp is one of the most dangerous places on this beast plain."

"Even flying orcs, who have the advantage of hunting at high altitudes, have a very high mortality rate in the Misty Swamp every year."

"And of the orcs who died in the Misty Swamp, more than 80% died at the hands of the Blackscale Serpent Lizard."

"Are you crazy? Su Weihua is in a terrible situation, and I sympathize with him. But he's already a cripple, and it's not worth you taking such a risk for him."
