He felt as if the hand she was holding had lost all feeling.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Bai Wanwan was getting anxious. The tribe had been in chaos for the past few days, and she had no idea how Zhu Xiu was faring out there. What if he ran into those Eagle Beasts and was ambushed?
Yan Lie snapped back to reality. Sensing Bai Wanwan's worry, he quickly said, "Don't worry. When I found him, he was fighting the Eagle Beasts. I just gave him a hand and killed them all."
Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for helping him."
"But… he didn't seem right. His body was covered in some kind of black substance, and he didn't recognize me."
He deliberately concealed the fact that Zhu Xiu had been trying to kill him.
"Yes, he's not in a good state," she said, "but it's alright. He'll recover in time."
As she spoke, she let go of his hand.
"Go get cleaned up. Food will be ready soon."
