Chapter 1099 - Looking for Things to Do (2) (2/2)
Winston nodded seriously. “I know.”
Bai Qingqing still didn’t feel at ease about this and got up to look for a piece of long animal skin, placing it around Winston’s neck. “Bring this along and cover up your eyes when you’re chopping the tree. And if anything happens, there are definitely antidotes growing near the tree. They’re plants that have small white flowers. Do you remember them?”

Winston smiled and nodded.
Bai Qingqing said, “That’s good, then. When you reach the place, look for the plants with the antidote effect before you chop the tree.”
The female chattered away endlessly, being a little naggy. However, toward the male beastmen who had to share her love, this nagging would only make them feel the feelings their mate had toward them. They’d find it sweet instead of troublesome.
Winston rubbed her head, which only reached up to his chest, and said gently, “I understand.”
Only then did Bai Qingqing feel at ease and let him leave, waiting while feeling worried for him.
After a while, she still felt worried and chased Parker out so that they could take care of each other.
Not long later, the two beastmen found an upas tree that over ten people could stand around it completely.
This tree appeared very short compared to the other trees in the forest, but just one of its branches would be comparable to the one that the ape king had transplanted to his courtyard.
The ash-gray tree bark appeared rough, with many bubble-shaped lumps on it. The branches and leaves spread out in all directions, its height being at 45 meters and the crown of the tree having a diameter of 30 to 40 meters, looking like a huge umbrella.
The two adult males stood under the tree, one nimble while the other burly. They exchanged a glance, then each walked to one side of the tree, raised their axes, and started chopping away.
