Chapter 144 Village
The three people and two cats went to a village called Luhua Village.
Hei Jiao and Ya Dao went to the village chief's house together to inquire about the situation, while Xue stayed here looking at the two cute Felyne cats.
If I remember correctly, that artisan cat is suspected to have Melalu's bloodline, and it will "pick up" any new things it sees.
But if you say "picking up" something, but "picking it up" at someone else's house, then isn't that stealing?
"By the way, little craftsman?"
"Huh? What's wrong, meow?" The craftsman cat looked up at Xue, a little confused.
"Do you have any monster materials? Can you help Hei Jiao and Ye Dao create a set of equipment?"
Upon hearing this, the craftsman cat was no longer sleepy. He loved making equipment the most.
"Of course, I have some materials for Qilin and Fire Dragon with me, but I'm short of ores and stuff like that, meow."
"Don't worry about that. I have it with me. Oh, and by the way, do you need Sky Comet Dragon materials? I have a few (hundreds) of them as well."
When the little craftsman heard about the Tianhui material, his eyes lit up. Great, it’s the powerful ancient dragon material!
"That's no problem, meow!"
"Here, for you." He handed all the materials to the craftsman cat, and then he went somewhere to make the equipment.
"This guy runs so fast..." Scholar Cat was a little helpless, then looked at Xue.
"Mingshuang, I heard you and Black Horn say before that you are a kind of giant beast, but what is a giant beast?"
"Well..." Xue thought for a while.
"The behemoths on the Terra continent, or the beasts here, can be simply understood as ancient dragons. Their existence, like that of ancient dragons, can itself cause natural disasters."
"Including but not limited to hurricanes, wildfires, floods, rainstorms, and purely physical destruction. Some special ones can even affect time and space to a certain extent..."
"I see..." At some point, Scholar Cat had taken out his research notes and recorded all of Xue's words.
"Wow! Look, are they Film?"
"And the hunter sister!"
The unfamiliar, childish chirping voice attracted the attention of both the man and the cat.
The man and the cat turned around and saw a group of human cubs ready to make a move.
The scholar cat immediately felt a chill and had a premonition that he was about to be robbed.
Sure enough, the next second, he was picked up and petted by the cubs.
It only took a few seconds from the initial resistance to the instant surrender, which really made Xue, who was watching beside her, laugh.
"Okay, okay, kids, stop it. If you keep doing this for too long, the cat will get angry~"
After hearing Xue's words, the children reluctantly put down the scholar cat and turned to look at Xue.
"Big sister, big sister, are you a hunter?"
"As for me, it is indeed considered as such. Are you interested?"
"Yeah!" Looking at the children's expectant eyes, Xue decided to tell them her hunting stories. Of course, she deleted and adapted a lot of parts.
But even so, the children still listened with great interest.
"Wow, sis is so cool, she can actually knock down such a big pig beast with just one blow."
"Sister actually killed a monster the size of a house. She's really amazing."
"It's not that exaggerated~" Listening to the children's praise, Xue also felt a little elated.
After a while, Yato and Heikaku came to meet Xue, so Xue stopped playing with the children.
"Mingshuang, you are indeed very popular among children."
"Haha, probably. So, how was it? What was the result?"
"As you said, Mingshuang, the village chief refused to evacuate the entire village."
"As expected... after all, we don't have sufficient evidence."
"I feel...even if there is enough evidence, he won't believe us."
"The village chief is very opposed to us seeking more information and is trying to prevent us from continuing to contact the fire dragon."
Xue was not surprised by what the two said.
"Well, it seems that this incident needs to be considered carefully."
……
After the questioning, the three began the routine mineral disease examination for the mission.
Hei Jiao Yadao is responsible for inspection, and Xue is responsible for distributing medicines.
The old hunter in the village who was planning to hunt the fire dragon stopped temporarily and watched for a moment.
Because of this, her eyes met with Yato's, and for some reason, an inexplicable premonition welled up in her heart.
As they checked, the trio found something wrong.
Some villagers' angiography showed abnormal Originium content.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, I have one more question for you."
"In fact, your condition has changed slightly. Have you come into contact with any special objects recently? Or have you been to places you don't usually go?"
The honest villagers were a little surprised by Ye Dao's question. After all, when a doctor asks you this question, you probably have some serious illness that is invisible to the naked eye.
"Ah! Is this... serious?"
"It's not serious at the moment, but if you continue to come into contact with active Originium and develop mineral sickness, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"If it's not recently... it could be from earlier. Please recall it carefully, especially those related to Originium."
"Active Originium... How could this happen? I clearly took precautions as they instructed before entering..."
The honest villager seemed to want to say something, but was stopped the next moment by another serious villager, Jeston from the East.
After hearing this, the three knew that there was something fishy going on.
Soon, the last inspector finished the inspection, and the three of them planned to discuss the current situation.
As a result, a Rupert woman who looked not very old came running over in a panic.
"Three, three! Are you the doctor who wants to see me?"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"Please! Please save the Ishidori family's child!"
"I'm his neighbor. He's very ill... He's been vomiting blood..."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately followed the woman to the Ishidori household.
Lying on the bed, a young child suffering from mineral sickness was spitting out blood.
Seeing this, Yato and Heijiao immediately began to carry out emergency treatment, while Xue was responsible for assisting and demonstrated her medical Originium skills.
Although they were a little surprised, Ye Dao and Hei Jiao didn't care too much.
Soon, the child was out of danger, and Ye Dao asked about the child's recent contact with Originium and Originium products.
The answer she got was just as Xue expected, she didn't know, or maybe he was hiding something.
"How is it possible, his family?"
"I don't know either..." Ye Dao became a little anxious when faced with the situation where he knew nothing about anything.
"Dad... Dad would never lie..."
"Monster... Such a big monster..." The child's murmur attracted the attention of Yato and Heijiao. The monster was obviously the fire dragon.
"monster?"
"You can't say it!" The female villager who had originally breathed a sigh of relief suddenly shouted and was even ready to rush to Ye Dao's side.
Xue was quick-witted and stopped her directly.
"Calm down, it's the Originium Mine, right?"
The woman was startled, her eyes filled with disbelief. How did the other party know...
"The purpose of my trip is to hunt the fire dragon, the monster you are talking about."
"And during my previous battle with the fire dragon, I discovered that he was carrying an inactive Originium crystal cluster. I'm afraid the only source of this type of crystal cluster is an Originium vein."
Xue looked behind the door.
"The one behind the door, come in. I know you've been eavesdropping."
Sure enough, the villager who had just yelled took advantage of the situation to come out and said some ambiguous words to the three of them.
