Chapter 93: Awakening

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The orcs had not explored the entirety of Peach Blossom Island, so they definitely were not familiar with the native cannibals.

It was very dangerous for them to fight the cannibals in the Peach Blossom Forest.

If they were not careful, their lives might be in danger.

Moreover, the cannibals that Lin Qi saw last night seemed to be stronger than the orcs, so they had to pick the best of the best.

When the orc commanders heard that, they scrambled to express that they were going to carry out that mission, and they were about to fight for the chance to be a part of the elite team.

One of the orc commanders even dragged Lin Qi and said, “If you don’t let me go, you’re looking down on me, Abada!”

“…”

Who the hell is looking down on you.

Lin Qi helplessly clapped his hands to signal the orc commanders to calm down. “Now is not the time to be a hero. If you all follow me out, what will happen to the other tribesmen?”

Only then did the orc commanders calm down. “The hero is right!”

Lin Qi thought for a moment and looked at them. “Are any of you good at fighting in the jungle? You must know how to track, you must?know how to set traps, and most importantly, you must know how to stay hidden.”

They looked at each other.

“Yes.”

“Who is it? Come forward.” Lin Qi was puzzled. Did such a thing need to take so long to think about?

“Abalu is best at these things.”

“…

“What about you guys… ?”

“Us? We are all good at fighting!” Abada rolled up his sleeves and showed Lin Qi his thick biceps.

Lin Qi held his forehead helplessly. The Holy Maiden beside him also said, “Indeed! Abalu is the best hunter in our tribe. He is the best at what you said just now.”

Lin Qi spread his hands. “Then what should we do now? We don’t know when Abalu will wake up. You saw what happened yesterday一not being a good stealth hunter makes it easy for the cannibals to take advantage of that weakness.”

In the end, the focus was still on Abalu.

Lin Qi silently flipped through the system, trying to see if there was any delicious food that could wake people up from a coma.

He suddenly saw a delicacy called Awakening Gumbo.

[ Awakening Gumbo: After taking it, one can quickly awaken a person who has fallen into a deep sleep. If a person who is awake takes it, it can keep the consumer excited. Side Effects: None ]

[ If taken multiple times, there is a certain chance that the consumer will fall into a state of permanent excitement! ]

According to the system’s description, it could wake up a person who had fallen into a deep sleep. However, he did not know if it would be useful for a person like Abalu who was seriously injured and unconscious.

No matter what, he had no other choice.

[ Material Consumption: Fish (x2), Tofu (x1), Ginger (x2) ]

[ Cooking… Cooking completed ]

[ Ding! You have obtained: Awakening Gumbo ]

Lin Qi took the prepared Awakening GUmbo to Abalu’s ward, where his wife was cleaning his body.

The woman looked at the gumbo in Lin Qi’s hand and quickly put down the cloth in her hand. “Oh My, I have troubled you to make the soup yourself, hero.”

Lin Qi explained, “This soup can awaken those who have fallen into a deep sleep. I want to use this to try to wake Abalu up.”

The woman quickly took the soup. “Really? You are amazing.”

“I’m not sure if it’ll work. Let’s try it first.”

The woman carefully fed the soup to Abalu and carefully wiped his mouth.

However, after drinking the soup, there was no reaction at all.

Lin Qi could not help but shake his head in disappointment. It seemed that he was forced to think of other ways. The woman was a little disappointed at first, but she quickly composed herself. She smiled and said to Lin Qi, “It’s okay. If he didn’t wake up, then he didn’t wake up. At most, I’ll take care of him for the rest of his life.”

Lin Qi looked at the woman’s optimism and gave a wry smile. He was going to take his leave.

The woman stood up to send him off. Just as she reached the door, she heard a voice behind her, “Darling?”

The two people at the door were stunned at first, then they turned around and saw Abalu already awake. He was sitting on the bed, looking at the two of them in confusion.

The woman suddenly pounced on Abalu and hugged him as she began to cry.

Lin Qi was almost embarrassed to death at the door, but it was good that he was awake. He did not want to intrude at that moment so he walked out of the door to wait.

The orcs nearby heard the woman’s crying and thought that something bad had happened, so they all came over.

Lin Qi stood at the door. “It’s okay. You don’t have to worry. Abalu has woken up. Now that the husband and wife are reunited, let’s not disturb them.”

When the orcs heard that Abalu had woken up, they heaved a sigh of relief. They stopped watching the commotion and walked back as they talked.

“I told you he would wake up.”

“Haha, Now you don’t have to worry. That lady doesn’t have to cry all the time though.”

“She’s crying? She can cry?”

“She’s done it a few times already. You wouldn’t expect it! Even someone as tough as her can cry sometimes.”

“Haha, Tell me about it. If she scolds anyone in the future, I’ll bring it up…”

Lin Qi was left standing there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Not long after, Abalu’s wife pushed open the door and walked out. She did not look like she had cried at all, but her eyes were a little red.

She said to Lin Qi, “I’ve already told Abalu about what happened while he was asleep. If you have anything to say, just tell him yourself. I won’t get unnecessarily involved.”

Lin Qi looked at her and suddenly felt a little apologetic because the purpose of his trip was Abalu’s rich jungle experience.

He looked at the woman hesitantly. “Actually… I…”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by her. “Abalu is first the orc commander of the Bru tribe and my husband second. If you have anything to say, just tell him. I’ll leave first.”

Looking at the woman’s back, Lin Qi felt some admiration in his heart.

He sorted out his emotions, opened the door, and walked in.

Abalu was half lying on the bed, looking pretty good. He smiled and invited Lin Qi to sit down.

“I heard about the cannibals. No wonder they were so cruel.”

“That’s right. I want to know how you were captured, how the others are now, and how you escaped.”

“I don’t know how I was captured either.” Abalu scratched his head and recalled, “I just felt very sleepy when I walked. When I woke up, I was in a cave. There were many cages in the cave. I don’t know what material the cages were made of, but they were very hard.

“The cave was full of the bones of various animals, and those ugly guys… The cannibals, they were lying on the ground and sleeping.”

“Then how did you get out?” Lin Qi was puzzled.

“It was because those cages were not locked!” Abalu thought it was funny, “I ran out while they were asleep.”

“How many cannibals were there?” Lin Qi suddenly asked.

Abalu tried to recall, “The cave was too dark, I couldn’t see clearly, there were about ten of them!”

Lin Qi nodded.. ‘Ok, not that many.’
