Chapter 14: The Flattered Old Nick
Cain stopped saying otherwise.
He carried Su Tang. “I will bring you over since you aren’t feeling well.”
Su Tang blushed as she pushed Cain’s arm. “It’s okay. I can go on my own!”
Cain carried Su Tang out of the cave without saying a word.
Su Tang was about to retort, but she went quiet when Cain carried her and jumped from a five to six-meter high cliff and landed firmly on the ground.
She automatically clung on tightly to Cain’s neck.
At a glance, she discovered that all the caves were located on cliffs. Some of them were even eight to ten meters high. Also, she did not see any stairs for entering the caves.
She even saw the innocent-looking Yuanyuan deftly jumping from the cave she was in and landing steadily on the ground.
Despite seeming unperturbed, the sight raised a tsunami in her heart.
Fortunately, Cain was around to carry her down. Or else…
Beast World was simply terrifying, and she wanted to go home badly!
…
After Cain put Su Tang down, he spotted the tears welling in her eyes and instantly became worried.
“Su, what’s the matter? Are you sick? I’ll take you back now!”
He wanted to take Su Tang back to the cave as he spoke.
Su Tang hurriedly stopped him.
She stammered and explained, “It’s not that. The sun was just too glaring. I feel fine! Let’s go see Meng Ze!”
Cain checked with Su Tang a few times. After Su Tang explained to him repeatedly, the two finally headed over to Meng Ze’s cave.
Only Old Nick and Green Fruit were inside the cave.
Old Nick anxiously sat and told Green Fruit to give Meng Ze water as he kept looking out the cave entrance.
The moment he spotted Cain and Su Tang, he stood up happily.
“You’re here! Meng Ze has a fever. What should we do about it, Healer?”
Su Tang felt embarrassed that an old beastman with gray hair was speaking to her so politely.
“My name is Su Tang. Feel free to call me that!”
Old Nick glanced at Cain, who nodded.
Old Nick continued, “Sure, Su Tang. I’m Old Nick! Why don’t you take a look at Meng Ze and see if there’s anything you can do about his fever?”‘
She went up to Meng Ze, squatted down next to him, and checked his wounds.
Sure enough, the area was red, and Meng Ze felt burning hot.
Su Tang turned to tell Cain, “Mind helping me move him to the cave entrance? Since there is sun and fresh air at the entrance, the sun can help to kill germs. It will do him good!”
Cain nodded without hesitation. He effortlessly carried Meng Ze, who was around his size.
Su Tang sighed in surprise in her heart at how strong these beastmen were!
Old Nick boldly asked Su Tang, “What do you mean by germs? Why is the sun able to kill them?”
“To put it simply, there are a lot of tiny bugs that cannot be seen on Meng Ze’s wounds. These bugs can’t stand the sunlight, so if we put Meng Ze in the sun, it will help kill them!”
Old Nick nodded and felt enlightened. “I see. Thanks, Su Tang!”
“You’re welcome. It’s nothing!”
[BEEP! 1 point for spreading knowledge! You now have a total of 1 point!]
Su Tang felt excited when she saw the system notification!
She had no idea she could gain points this way. Now she was eager to see more curious folks like Old Nick!
She turned to look at Old Nick with her eyes glinting.
“Do you have any other questions? I can answer them all!”
Old Nick felt extremely flattered!
“R-really?”
