Chapter 165 How dare you poison the Beast King!
The next morning.
Bai Ye carried Luo Yuanyuan in his arms and walked around until he arrived at a spacious courtyard.
He listened attentively and it seemed very quiet inside, so he stepped into the courtyard and called out, "Is the Baishan witch doctor here?"
There was a cough in the room, and a hoarse and weak voice came:
"Here, come in."
Bai Ye frowned slightly, then quickly walked into the big house holding the little female.
There were several large stone tables in the outermost stone house, piled with various herbs, powders, and some tools for grinding medicine. There were several smaller rooms on both sides. Bai Ye listened to the sound and chose one to go in.
This small room had very few furniture, except for a small stone table and a pile of animal skin mats on the floor. An old orc with a white beard was lying on it, and when he saw someone coming, he was about to sit up.
The old man supported himself on the cushion and stood up with great difficulty.
Seeing this, Bai Ye's eyes turned slightly red.
He put the little female down: "Yuanyuan, wait for me." Then he walked over, half-knelt on the mat and gently helped the old orc up.
"Baishan Witch Doctor, do you still remember me?" Bai Ye asked softly.
Upon hearing this, the old man carefully looked at the handsome orc in front of him.
After a moment, he suddenly grabbed Bai Ye's arm and opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "You, you are Bai Ye? The youngest son of the former Beast King Bai Xian?"
Bai Ye smiled and nodded: "More than ten years have passed, and you still recognize me."
The old witch doctor started coughing again in excitement. Bai Ye hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "Grandpa Baishan, what happened to you? You used to be in good health."
The old man waved his hand:
"Let's not talk about that for now. Good boy, come and show grandpa. Not bad, more handsome than your father, and the body looks very strong. Good, good! This beautiful little female is..."
Luo Yuanyuan hurried over and squatted beside the mat.
Bai Ye held Luo Yuanyuan's hand with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Baishan, this is my partner, Luo Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan, this is the Baishan witch doctor I told you about. He is from our White Tiger tribe and is also our family's best friend."
"Hello, Grandpa Baishan. It's nice to meet you. Bai Ye often mentions you."
The old man smiled so happily that his white beard stood up:
"Okay, hahahaha... ahem... you are so lucky to have found such a good partner. Yuanyuan, I am not bragging, but I have been watching Bai Ye since he was a child. He is a first-class person and will definitely treat you well for the rest of his life. Good Yuanyuan, come and sit here."
Bai Shan said, patting the mat beside him.
"Okay." Luo Yuanyuan didn't hesitate and sat down.
The old witch doctor looked at Bai Ye, then at Luo Yuanyuan, and sighed with satisfaction again: "What a match made in heaven! If Bai Xian is still alive, he will definitely be very happy."
Bai Ye frowned and clenched his fists, not releasing them for a long time.
"Grandpa, more than a decade ago, my father was murdered, and my mother and three brothers were nowhere to be found. At that time, you said that I would come back to you after I reached the king level and tell me where they were and who their enemies were. Now that I have reached the king level, please tell me so that I can find them earlier and avenge my father together."
After hearing what Bai Ye said, the witch doctor burst into tears, his eyes rolled back, and he was about to faint.
Bai Ye quickly supported him and helped him calm down.
After a long while, the old witch doctor finally recovered, but his breathing was unstable. He opened his mouth and took several breaths before he said in a hoarse voice: "Good boy, you have made a difference now, so I won't hide it from you. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid the truth will be buried in the grave. In fact, your three brothers are all gone..."
"Gone?"
“It’s just gone.
I happened to be at the Beast King Castle that day. Because your father was upgrading to the Imperial rank during those days, I was afraid that he would get hurt, so I went to your house. The Gadfly, who was your father's bodyguard at the time and is now the Beast King, was also there.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of upgrading, the gadfly that usually looked honest suddenly changed its face, and when your father was unable to fight back, it pierced your father's heart with its hard rhino horn.
Your mother and three brothers heard the noise and rushed over, but were killed by the Gadfly and his four cubs.
I was terrified. I wanted to rush out and fight them, but I was too weak and would die if I went out. Thinking that you were still playing outside, I tried to sneak out and find you, and just said that your father was killed and your mother and brother escaped.
I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid that you were still young and couldn’t handle it all at once…”
Bai Ye's dark blue eyes suddenly turned blood red, his fists were clenched, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
He let out a suppressed roar, and his extreme anger almost made him lose control and transform into a beast.
Luo Yuanyuan was also shocked.
No wonder little Bai Ye went to the Tiger Tribe alone when he was only seven or eight years old. It turned out that his mother, father and brother were all killed.
How much suffering does such a small white tiger have to endure?
I didn't expect to hear such bad news again.
Luo Yuanyuan felt distressed. She stood up and walked over, hugged Bai Ye from behind, and comforted him softly: "Bai Ye, we are all by your side. We will avenge you together..."
Bai Ye's body was cold at this time, but his heart was beating violently. He suppressed his anger and grief, and patted Luo Yuanyuan's little hand: "Yuanyuan, don't worry, I'm fine."
The old witch doctor wiped his tears and continued:
"Ever since they left, the current Beast King Gadfly has been suppressing our White Tiger people. Some people were unwilling to be humiliated and fled. Now there are only more than 200 people left in the city..."
"But," the old witch doctor changed his tone, a hint of cruelty appeared on his face, "the gadfly is almost dead now. I poisoned it."
"What?" Bai Ye and Luo Yuanyuan screamed at the same time.
The old witch doctor looks weak and frail, but how could he be so courageous?
How dare you poison the Beast King!
“That gadfly is already at the royal level, and is very difficult to deal with. I have no other options but to rely on herbs, but ordinary poisons can’t do much harm to him.
One day, I finally found a poisonous weed. I named it Seven-Section Whip. It is colorless and odorless. It is difficult for people to detect the poisoning at the beginning. They may just feel chest tightness occasionally, and then gradually have difficulty breathing and cough incessantly. In more serious cases, the person will fall into a coma and eventually die.
I didn't have many chances, only a few times, but fortunately he finally fell into a coma recently."
The witch doctor said all this in one breath, then coughed again, then opened his mouth and took a deep breath for a long time.
Seeing the old man like this, a bad guess suddenly popped up in Luo Yuanyuan's mind: Could it be that this old witch doctor was also poisoned by the seven-section whip?
Bai Ye had the same idea. He exchanged glances with Luo Yuanyuan, then turned to the old man and asked with a frown, "Grandpa, did you test the medicine on yourself?"
The witch doctor was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice:
"That's right. Anyway, I'm dying soon, so I can't hide it from you. I tasted a little of it myself to test the poison, but I didn't expect that the herb was so powerful that it would kill me.
However, I have no regrets seeing you today. Bai Ye, come here, I'll show you something."
