Chapter 2250


    Hopefully, the vigers would trust them even though they were strangers.


    Andres stood before Erwen and Yazmin to protect them. “Girls, listen to me. I''ll do my best to convince


    the vigers. If they refuse to listen to me, you should flee the scene immediately. Go as far as you


    can.”


    However, Erwen replied doggedly, “Mr. Andres, we must leave together. It doesn''t matter if we fail to


    convince them. We still have our Life-Bound Worms, right?”


    Yazmin chimed in, “Yes, before Erwen and I left the White Muraco n, we took many cursed parasitic


    worms with us. They are powerful creatures!”


    They were still in the middle of the discussion when the vigers of Durbaine finally arrived.


    Don ordered with a wave of his hand. “Everyone, surround them!”


    The vigers rushed forward to surround Andres and the youngdies.


    They red at the three outsiders menacingly.


    Andres immediately exined, “Everyone, please don''t be afraid. We mean no harm. In fact, we''re


    here to help you out.”


    Don shot Andres a re and ignored him. He then strode to the herbs Andres and the other two were


    grinding earlier and studied them carefully.


    Andres told him, “Everyone, this is the antidote that can save your lives.”

    Don didn''t bother answering him and continued flipping through the herbs carefully.


    Soon, he discovered a shard of bone among the herbs and grew agitated. “D*mn it! This is from a skull.


    You''ve indeed gone through our ancestors'' graves and took their bones!” he dered.


    His words only served to ignite the vigers'' fury, and they hurled insults and curses in Andres''


    direction.


    “F*ck, it was all their fault! We''ve been suffering because of them. They have to pay the price!”


    “Chief, please give your orders. I can''t wait to beat them up!”


    “How dare they cause trouble in our territory? Do they have a death wish?”


    Andres, Erwen, and Yazmin nched in horror at the vigers'' reaction.


    It was the worst scenario that they could imagine.


    They couldn''t understand why the vigers were using them of trying to bring harm to the vige.


    The vige chief even confidently imed that the bone fragment in the herbs was their ancestor''s


    bone.


    Andres exined hastily, “Everyone, this is a misunderstanding. You''ve got it wrong. This isn''t a human


    bone. It''s an oracle bone. We mean no harm, so please don''t act recklessly.”


    Don sneered, “Ha! You''re still making excuses, huh? Do you think we''re fools? Fine! I shall give you a


    chance to prove to us that this is an oracle bone instead of a human bone! We''ll believe you if you can


    prove yourselves.”


    Soon, ha discovarad a shard of bona among tha harbs and graw agitatad. “D*mn it! This is from a skull.


    You''va indaad gona through our ancastors'' gravas and took thair bonas!” ha darad.


    His words only sarvad to ignita tha vigars'' fury, and thay hud insults and cursas in Andras''


    diraction.


    “F*ck, it was all thair fault! Wa''va baan suffaring bacausa of tham. Thay hava to pay tha prica!”


    “Chiaf, asa giva your ordars. I can''t wait to baat tham up!”


    “How dara thay causa trou in our tarritory? Do thay hava a daath wish?”


    Andras, Erwan, and Yazmin nchad in horror at tha vigars'' raaction.


    It was tha worst scanario that thay could imagina.


    Thay couldn''t undarstand why tha vigars wara using tham of trying to bring harm to tha viga.


    Tha viga chiaf avan confidantly imad that tha bona fragmant in tha harbs was thair ancastor''s


    bona.


    Andras axinad hastily, “Evaryona, this is a misundarstanding. You''va got it wrong. This isn''t a human


    bona. It''s an ora bona. Wa maan no harm, so asa don''t act racssly.”


    Don snaarad, “Ha! You''ra still making axcusas, huh? Do you think wa''ra fools? Fina! I shall giva you a


    chanca to prova to us that this is an ora bona instaad of a human bona! Wa''ll baliava you if you can


    prova yoursalvas.”


    Andres was stumped.


    Human bones and oracle bones were both bones, and they didn''t have any equipment to differentiate


    both.


    Luckily, Erwen stepped out to say, “Calm down, everyone. I can prove it to you now!”


    She paused to let that sink in before continuing, “As you know, human bones will create wills-o''-the-


    wisp in summer, for they can''t withstand high temperature and can easily catch fire. Animal bones, on


    the other hand, can''t catch fire easily. You can use fire to light up this bone fragment. If it burns easily,


    it''s a human bone. If it doesn''t burn or takes a long time to catch fire, it is an animal bone.”


    Erwen had actually made that up to calm the vigers down.


    Whether or not a bone burned easily would depend on its phosphorus content.


    The older a bone was, the more phosphorus it contained, and vice versa.


    The oracle bone they used had been around for a long time, so it wouldn''t burn easily.


    They could only hope that the vigers would buy their exnation.


    Most of the vigers seemed to trust them, except for a few.


    Someone asked carefully, “Chief, is that so?”


    Don found himself in a predicament.
