Chapter 124: Not a Long-Term Solution
Xia Gu turned to look at the other beastmen, wanting to ask for their opinions.
However, these beastmen had no objections whatsoever, and everything went according to Xia Gu's wishes.
"Xiaxia, don't feel pressured. We didn't take this to heart in the first place. It's best to have another person take care of you. This Eric seems quite considerate."
Since Xue Lan was originally the leader among the beastmen, she might as well just decide this matter for them.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gu took a closer look at Eric, who was indeed very handsome.
With his distinct facial features, he possesses a unique charm unlike that of males from high-altitude tribes.
Since that's the case, I might as well just agree. Anyway, I do need something new right now.
Xia Gu turned around and faced Eric, and immediately finalized the matter.
"In that case, you will become my new beast mate. We can hold the ceremony after we return to the tribe. What do you think?"
Anyway, Xia Gu also thought that finding a beast husband in this way was quite interesting, and there was also an element of chance involved.
"Alright, let's set off together then. Since the decision has already been made, let's not say anything more."
With Xia Gu leading Eric, the group arrived at the edge of the frigid land, where the biting wind felt like knives cutting their faces.
Xue Qing stopped moving, standing still, her face pale, clutching her chest as she collapsed to the ground, her forehead burning hot, and fell into a coma.
At this moment, Xia Gu and the others stopped and kept looking at Xue Qing, Xia Gu's eyes filled with worry.
Xia Gu quickly picked her up, trembling, and called his name, but there was no response.
At this moment, Zhang Fenglin quickly walked up to him and carefully examined him.
"This is bad! Xueqing has probably been infected with a cold poison unique to the extreme cold. If she is not treated in time, her life may be in danger."
Zhang Fenglin also felt very nervous because this matter was not easy to handle.
In addition, they were all in an extremely cold place, so even finding herbs was an extremely difficult task.
Now that things have come to this, what should we do? Everyone is in a state of panic.
When faced with such a situation, people have different opinions.
"In that case, we should search carefully to see if there are any herbs."
"Even in extremely cold places, there should be herbs," Xia Gu said helplessly.
But Zhang Fenglin shook his head after hearing this, because Xia Gu said that he was oversimplifying the matter.
"Even if we find the herbs, there's no way to use them for his symptoms."
Zhang Fenglin understood that Xueqing's illness was very serious, so it couldn't be treated as an ordinary ailment.
Under these circumstances, Xia Gu originally intended to seek help from the system, but Eric, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"Goddess, we found a cold herb under an ice cliff that can temporarily relieve the symptoms."
Eric brought it up directly, since this was the only opportunity available under such circumstances.
In addition, he was indeed familiar with this area, so he knew it was appropriate to bring it up, naturally wanting to give them some advice.
Zhang Fenglin understood what kind of herbs Eric was talking about, but no matter what, there was no way to completely cure the condition.
"The only way to completely cure this disease is perhaps with the power of the Spirit Ice Crystal. If that's not available, then there's no way to cure it."
"Moreover, this kind of illness is very urgent, and if it cannot be resolved in a short period of time, it's really hard to say what will happen."
This is a very awkward topic, but the current situation can't be resolved in a short time.
Xia Gu felt extremely troubled because this matter was inherently difficult to handle.
"So even if we continue searching for ice crystals, it might delay Xueqing's treatment, making it all for nothing, right?"
If I really give up, it would be unacceptable for Xia Gu. He cannot accept Xue Qing dying in front of him, and if the mission is not completed, it will affect the future development of the planet.
Even if we turn back now, we might not be able to save Xueqing, which is the most worrying thing.
Those around them were growing up after seeing this, while Xue Lan walked up to Xia Gu, knowing that this matter was difficult to resolve.
"Now that things have come to this, let's set up camp here and let Xueqing get some rest. Let's not let this cold atmosphere continue to affect his body."
Xia Gu is already unable to calm down, so Xue Lan has to take charge.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately nodded, understanding Xue Lan's meaning. They quickly gathered everything they could find and set up a shelter.
They also made a simple wooden bed for Xueqing to lie on, and lit a fire around it to keep her warm.
Xia Gu sat by the bedside, looking at the unconscious Xue Qing, and felt increasingly guilty.
At this moment, Xueqing's face was completely pale, and Xia Gu's tears were welling up in her eyes.
The countdown timer for the system task echoed in her mind, each beat like a hammer blow to her heart. The beastmen stood around, their faces full of worry.
"Xiaxia, this is not your fault, so you don't need to feel so guilty. We are all thinking of a solution together. We have to hold on."
Xuelan knew that Xia Gu was in a bad mood, but she didn't have time to dwell on her emotions.
There are still many important things to do, so we still need to find a solution.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gu sighed helplessly. It was indeed true; she shouldn't be so sentimental.
We need to be rational in this situation, and if we don't resolve it, we'll only waste more time, and the task will expire.
In this way, neither side benefits, and Xia Gu is at a loss for what to do. For now, she can only put the matter aside.
Upon seeing this, Eric took out the cold grass he had gathered.
"Let's give Xueqing this first and see if she gets better. This will also buy her some time and at least prevent her condition from deteriorating rapidly."
Xia Gu nodded and immediately arranged for someone to feed the medicine to Xue Qing. Sure enough, Xue Qing's complexion improved a little in an instant, but no matter what, this was not a long-term solution.
