The all-encompassing spirit informed Yu Su that a person and a beast lay a hundred meters away, the beast lifeless, and the person showing signs of life, in a state of unconsciousness.
Yu Su hurriedly rushed to the location pointed out by the spirit.
The person and the beast seemed to have traveled a long way, leaving a chaotic trail through the wild grass.
Upon arrival, the first thing seen was a colossal Barbaric Woolly Elephant lying on the ground.
Despite being a formidable beast in these wilds, the Barbaric Woolly Elephant was now dead, covered in wounds.
Yu Su checked and found a faint warmth remaining in the elephant, indicating it hadn't been dead for long.
The unconscious person lay in the grass. Strongly built, wearing only a leather grass skirt around the waist, barefoot, hair disheveled, and with a bloodied shoulder wound.
In this savage era, surviving such severe injuries was unlikely.
The scent of blood was thick, attracting other savage beasts. They couldn't stay here for long.
Initially, Yu Su had no intention of saving this person.
Other sounds emanated from the grass, prompting Yu Su to leave. However, he noticed an iron piece around the person's neck, similar to the one worn by Jian Yunchuan.
Yu Su paused, "Wait."
The all-encompassing spirit asked, "What's wrong?"
Approaching, Yu Su saw that the iron piece not only had a name engraved but also a totem symbol.
Perhaps this person and Jian Yunchuan hailed from the same place.
After considering, Yu Su decided to save him, carrying the person away swiftly.
"Scan the surroundings, Little Quan."
"Many savage beasts are approaching. Head to the three o'clock direction."
"Are they catching up?"
"No, they are attracted by the Barbaric Woolly Elephant."
Relieved, Yu Su didn't take the person back to the cave but to a safer open space.
"Bring out the hemostatic herbs and stop his bleeding."
"Purple Cloud Grass and Ganwu Soup."
Fortunately, Yu Su had prepared these in advance, stored in the spirit's space.
After a flurry of activity, the shoulder wound was sealed, bleeding halted, and with the infusion of herbs, the pulse gradually strengthened.
The effects were swift, indicating the person's robust constitution.
During pulse examination, Yu Su discovered several acupoints opened haphazardly, as if accidentally unlocked without guidance. How did this happen?
While Yu Su was lost in thought, the person, who had been lying with closed eyes, suddenly opened them—a pair of wild, sharp eyes like a beast's.
He sat up abruptly, reaching for Yu Su's neck.
Yu Su reacted swiftly, blocking the attack and landing a punch on the person's injured shoulder.
Groaning in pain, the person's fierce gaze persisted, still wanting to attack Yu Su.
"I saved you, and you repay with aggression?" Yu Su exclaimed.
The person didn't grasp the concept of repaying aggression but understood that Yu Su saved him.
Ceasing the attack, he observed Yu Su. "Saved?"
His tone was peculiar, bearing a hint of wildness.
Coldly, Yu Su said, "Otherwise, you'd have been eaten by those beasts attracted to the smell of blood."
The person surveyed the surroundings, ensuring temporary safety. His injuries were treated, and he felt strength returning.
"Shaman?"
"Before asking questions, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"Luyan."
Upon hearing the name, Yu Su's expression eased slightly. "Where are you from?"
Luyan frowned, seemingly because Yu Su hadn't answered his question.
Almost amused, Yu Su almost laughed at the wild temperament of this unkempt man.
"I saved you. You should answer my questions, not ask me."
If Luyan continued to evade, Yu Su, irritated by the waste of herbs, would leave.
"Repay, name," the wild man said.
Yu Su, speechless, realized Luyan's logic: he would repay the favor, but he insisted on knowing Yu Su's name.
Given the circumstances, Yu Su decided to understand the origin of the iron piece and then part ways.
"I'm called Yu Su, not a shaman. Now it's your turn. Where are you from, and what does the iron piece on your neck represent? Explain, or you'll regret it."
"Yu Su." Luyan stared at him intensely, repeating Yu Su's name.
Yu Su sighed.
Did this wild man not understand human language?
Sensing Yu Su's displeasure, Luyan pointed to the direction of the cave. "Nest."
Yu Su suddenly had a bad feeling. Soon, Yu Feng arrived with others, informing Yu Su that the cave was occupied, showing signs of habitation, and they didn't know if the owner would return.
Yu Feng, sensing someone following Yu Su, tightened the spear, "Who goes there!"
