After listening to the explanation from Old Crippled Dog, the tribal chief of the Snow Mastiff Tribe, Chen Yu finally understood what was going on.
It wasn’t an attack by a Soul Beast or a severe injury with massive bleeding.
Instead, a pregnant woman from the Snow Mastiff Tribe was experiencing complications during childbirth due to an abnormal fetal position, showing signs of a difficult labor that could lead to heavy bleeding.
Additionally, most of the Spirit Masters in both tribes were of the Ice Attribute.
Even if heavy bleeding did occur, they could choose to freeze the wound to mitigate the injury.
Given their Ice Attribute Resistance as Ice Attribute Soul Masters, mere freezing wouldn’t be severe enough to require amputation.
Thus, ordinary injuries were nothing to fear for the Spirit Masters of these two tribes.
Only the ordinary people in the tribes needed things like medicinal herbs.
Within the tribe, population was the most important resource, and it was only here that the class distinctions between people weren’t so pronounced.
Even a Soul King would kneel and beg for medicine for a woman in his tribe.
In other words, Chen Yu had been moved by his own assumptions earlier.
However, after snapping back to reality, Chen Yu didn’t think unifying the continent was a bad idea.
In fact, for him, unifying the continent was the only way to maximize the potential of his golden finger.
“If the fetal position is abnormal, why don’t you opt for a cesarean section?” Chen Yu instinctively responded to Old Crippled Dog, but he quickly realized that this era had no knowledge of cesarean section techniques.
A haphazard cesarean section would likely result in the deaths of both mother and child.
Yet Old Crippled Dog and the Soul King Er Gou took his words seriously.
“What does ‘cesarean section’ mean!?” Er Gou asked urgently.
Judging by Er Gou’s reaction, the woman in question seemed to have a close relationship with him.
Chen Yu stroked his chin and ultimately decided not to withhold the information.
He wanted to spread knowledge and gain spiritual power feedback, so there was no need for him to hide this kind of information.
“Simply put, it involves using a scalpel to cut open the woman’s abdomen and uterus, then removing the baby from the uterus, and finally stitching up the abdomen and uterus with a needle and thread.” “You should be able to understand, right?” “If there’s a Healing-type Soul Master present, such a suturable wound could even be considered minor—a minimally invasive procedure.” “The difficulty of this surgery entirely depends on how well the incision is controlled during the cesarean section.” Chen Yu shrugged and waved his hand.
Hearing this, Old Crippled Dog and Er Gou were stunned.
Although they didn’t fully grasp what Chen Yu meant by “surgery,” they understood the general idea of the procedure.
They even felt that Chen Yu’s method sounded safer.
Thinking this, Old Crippled Dog’s eyes lit up, but soon they filled with regret.
“It’s a pity we don’t have a Healing-type Soul Master.” Old Crippled Dog said regretfully.
Hearing this, Chen Yu pursed his lips.
There was nothing he could do about it either.
After all, his Ice Heart Formula was suitable for Spirit Masters with an Ice Attribute physique and didn’t possess the healing abilities of Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Technique from the original work.
“Then you could capture some Soul Beasts with strong vitality and have her eat some of their meat to nourish her body.” With that, Chen Yu had said all he could and prepared to leave with Xiang Cai.
At this moment, Chief Gu Xi also walked up to the group, holding some medicinal herbs in his hands, and even a spiritual medicine—a Centennial Cordyceps.
This Centennial Snow Silkworm Cordyceps was larger than Chen Yu had imagined.
Its snow-white, fleshy body was as thick as an adult’s two fingers.
In this era, with abundant spiritual energy, all plants and animals grew larger.
Even their effects were stronger than those of ordinary medicinal herbs.
“This is a Centennial Snow Silkworm Cordyceps.
It has nourishing properties.
Give it to the person in your tribe, and they’ll recover immediately.” Gu Xi spoke with reluctance.
Er Gou, standing nearby, eagerly reached for it, but Gu Xi immediately withdrew the cordyceps.
“Wait a moment.” Gu Xi called out.
“Although our Black Rhinoceros Tribe is willing to offer help in times of need, your Snow Mastiff Tribe can’t just take without giving anything in return!” As he spoke, Gu Xi stroked the beard on his chin, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.
“Bring all the Whale Glue from your Snow Mastiff Tribe.
Our Black Rhinoceros Tribe needs it.” As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Chen Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The old chief was truly the old chief, still able to think of such things at a time like this.
“Fine, our Snow Mastiff Tribe will bring all the Whale Glue we have, and any Whale Glue we obtain in the future will also be given to you.” Old Crippled Dog quickly agreed, only then receiving the Centennial Cordyceps from Gu Xi.
However, just as Old Crippled Dog and Er Gou were about to leave, Old Crippled Dog suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Yu.
“Would you like to come to our Snow Mastiff Tribe?” Old Crippled Dog actually wanted Chen Yu to guide them on how to perform a cesarean section.
But considering the relationship between the two tribes, he hesitated to say it outright.
However, Er Gou, standing nearby, caught on.
“Yes, yes!
If you could give us some guidance on that cesarean section thing, you can pick any treasure from our Snow Mastiff Tribe.” Er Gou immediately added.
At this moment, Gu Xi frowned, stroking his beard, lost in thought.
“Go, Xiao Yu, you go.
I’ll go too.” In the end, Gu Xi answered on behalf of Chen Yu, who hadn’t yet spoken.
“Old Crippled Dog, this time I’m definitely going to make your Snow Mastiff Tribe feel the pain.” Gu Xi chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
“If it hurts, it hurts.” Old Crippled Dog, hearing this, actually breathed a sigh of relief, then led the way ahead.
Shortly after, Chen Yu was also brought by Gu Xi to the Snow Mastiff Tribe.
As for Xiang Cai, she was left behind in the Black Rhinoceros Tribe.
…
In no time, Gu Xi and Chen Yu arrived at the Snow Mastiff Tribe.
Unlike the caves in the Black Rhinoceros Tribe, the Snow Mastiff Tribe didn’t dig caves.
Instead, they had built several ice houses nearby.
By now, Gu Xi had also learned about the cesarean section from the others.
“So it can be done this way!” Gu Xi murmured to himself, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face.
Their tribe had always had few children because they were located near the Far North, where the weather was cold, and every childbirth was a perilous journey for women.
Now, with such a good method, the tribe could have more children.
Unfortunately, the Black Rhinoceros Tribe also lacked Healing-type Soul Masters skilled in treatment.
If they had Healing-type Soul Masters, they wouldn’t even need stitches for cesarean sections—they could simply use Healing-Type Soul Skills to heal.
There wouldn’t even be scars left, and it wouldn’t affect women’s future pregnancies.
Chen Yu, standing nearby, saw Gu Xi’s smile and immediately understood his intention.
Soon, Er Gou invited Chen Yu into a massive ice house.
This ice house was the largest in the Snow Mastiff Tribe, clearly indicating it was reserved for someone of the highest status.
As soon as Chen Yu entered, he heard heart-wrenching cries of pain.
In one of the rooms inside, women dressed in fur coats bustled about, moving in and out.
“My wife is over there.
Is there anything else you need to add?” Er Gou pointed to the room and asked with simple honesty.
“Well, the tools need to be sterilized at high temperatures.
Alternatively, you could use ice to form a sharp ice blade,” Chen Yu explained briefly, gesturing with his hands to indicate the size of the ice blade.
He thought to himself, an ice blade formed from Soul Power shouldn’t be contaminated with bacteria!
Besides, the environment here was so cold that there probably weren’t many bacteria to begin with.
“Alright, I’ll do that right away,” Er Gou agreed and immediately set to work, taking the Centennial Cordyceps with him.
With nothing else to do, Chen Yu simply squatted where he was, lost in thought.
