“Ah Guoguo, Vigo says his body still hurts.”
Three days later, Ning Luo hurried to Tang Guo’s dwelling. She looked at Tang Guo with pitiful eyes. “Ah Guoguo, please go take another look at Vigo.”
Vigo was only in pain and not in danger of dying, so she did not dare accuse Tang Guo of having treated him badly.
She was just a student who had only recently finished the college entrance exam and knew nothing about treating illnesses or injuries.
Right now, she still needed Tang Guo’s help. In her heart, she complained that Tang Guo’s skills were not good enough, but she did not dare show it on her face.
The High Priest, whom she had been waiting for so long, still had not returned. Her only hope was Tang Guo.
For these past three days, Vigo had been in pain day and night, rolling on the ground and unable to sleep at all. If this continued, she was truly afraid that something would happen to him.
“He still isn’t better?”
Tang Guo rubbed her chin. “Alright then. I’ll go with you and take another look.”
When they arrived at Ning Luo’s dwelling, Tang Guo heard low groans of pain. As soon as she walked in, she saw Vigo curled up on the ground with a sallow face. His body trembled from the pain, and every so often he rolled over, crying out miserably. Tang Guo felt pleased inside. This stinking snake really could endure pain. He had not died from it yet. He really was worthy of being a male lead.
“Vigo, I brought Ah Guoguo to take another look at you.”
Vigo shot Tang Guo a cold glance, clearly unwilling, but the pain was too intense. In the end, he allowed Tang Guo to examine him.
“The scabs have already fallen off,” Tang Guo said after checking him, rubbing her chin. “Since I already saved his life, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Aimo, Gaien, Ming Jiu, and Black Wolf had all arrived as well. Even though they felt jealous seeing how much Ning Luo cared about Vigo, if not for Vigo saving Ning Luo, they would have lost her forever.
So they all tacitly accepted Vigo’s presence.
Even though Vigo was from the snake tribe, and snake tribe members usually did not integrate into tribes, preferring to live in separate caves, with most tribe members also disliking living alongside them.
“Why don’t we have Vigo transform back into his true form, and let Ah Guoguo examine that directly?” Black Wolf suddenly said. He remembered that whenever the High Priest treated injuries, he always had the injured person return to their true form for inspection first, and only treated them in human form after confirming there were no issues.
Thinking about it now, he felt that step had indeed been skipped.
Vigo pressed his lips together, clearly reluctant. In front of unfamiliar people, he did not want to reveal his true form.
But seeing how worried Ning Luo looked, he nodded. Supported by Ning Luo, he walked outside. His true form was large, and the small dwelling could not accommodate him.
Once outside, he transformed. A massive snake covered in scales appeared before them. The scales were sparse, and if they ever fully covered his body, he might evolve into a flood dragon.
However, in this beastman world, there were no legends of flood dragons. No matter how powerful a snake tribe member was, none had ever successfully evolved into one.
After transforming into his true form, Vigo felt even more pain. This time, before Tang Guo could even examine him, everyone else noticed something wrong with his body. There were bulging spots, as if something were inside.
“There’s something strange inside Vigo’s body,” Gaien said.
Ning Luo cried as she spoke, “Ah Guoguo, hurry and take a look. What is inside him?”
Tang Guo then said to Black Wolf, “Chief, if we want to confirm what’s inside Vigo’s body, we might need to cut him open to take a look.”
