The animals took about two hours to tussle, but they are evenly matched in strength.
They shouldn't have picked a fight with each other.
Finally, even the women have gotten over their fear, and made a little circle around the edges of the clearing, watching the fight.
Jiushu did a periphery check from time to time, to make sure there are no other dangers nearby.
At some point, the two animals lied around, unable to move towards one another.
"MoQiu! I am going to plant ganoderma in one, and ghost grass in another!" Jiushu told him.
"A'Shu! It's too dangerous!" MoQiu pulled her back.
"We need those herbs, if we are to save uncle and aunt. I have some, but they will by no means be enough to save both aunt and uncle! Cover me. I won't take a risk!" Jiushu convinced him.
"You must listen to me at all times!" MoQiu told her.
"Yes!" Jiushu nodded emphatically.
