Chapter 224

Before anyone could react, they saw Wu Jin, standing behind Jiang Tianming at the very front, subtly tug at his clothes. Everyone understood what this gesture meant: the clan leader had just lied in his speech.

But where did he lie? Was it the earlier line, “I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” or the final line, “There’s definitely no problem with them coming for treatment”?

Filled with such doubts, the group marched grandly towards the Flora Tribe. As soon as they entered the stone cave corridor of that tribe, everyone smelled a faint, fresh scent of plants, which was quite refreshing in this place full of earthy odors.

As they walked, Caige introduced them: “Most of the Flora Tribe members have the ability to make plants grow. Many of the vegetables we eat are provided by them. Our tribe has many medicinal herbs that can treat illnesses, and even more experienced physicians. We haven’t seen your kind of illness before, but perhaps they’ll know just by looking.”

After Caige finished speaking, Wu Jin tugged at Jiang Tianming’s sleeve again.

This statement also contained a lie. Connecting it with the clan leader’s previous lie, Su Bei immediately understood where they were lying. Putting the affirmative sentences from both statements together, the only overlap was “We haven’t seen your kind of illness before.”

Both individuals had specifically emphasized that they didn’t know what illness Qiao Mu and the other person had, but Wu Jin’s behavior told them that these people probably already knew what problems would arise if they tried to return the way they came.

Moreover, either this problem only affected surface humans, or they deliberately avoided this issue but didn’t warn Qiao Mu and the other person. And no matter which possibility, it pointed to another problem – that before they arrived, it was very likely other humans had fallen down here.

Otherwise, how would these people know that surface humans would encounter danger here?

Entering the Flora Tribe’s main hall, it was completely different from the previous Mud Tribe. The ground was covered with a layer of soft turf, and various exotic flowers and plants were cultivated in the corners of the hall. The walls were covered with plants like climbing ivy, making the whole place look very beautiful.

It’s worth noting that the flowers and plants here were not the common ones found on the surface. In fact, there wasn’t much green, mostly blue plants. The colors of the flowers, however, were rich and vibrant.

Unfortunately, with their companions in life-threatening danger, everyone was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery and only wanted to quickly find a doctor to treat Qiao Mu and Li Bowen.
