Chapter 79: The Problem

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pebble cried when he saw Tang Guo. “Boohoo, Sister Tang Guo, am I going to die too?”

“Today, three people have died.”

Tang Guo reached out and held his wrist. She began to check him with her wood-type superpower and found that this virus was very similar to the plague.

In the cave, the dead bodies were quickly thrown out.

Tang Guo went to look through it again and confirmed, “It’s the plague.”

Everyone was shocked and gasped. Granny Witch Doctor looked terrible. She asked, “The plague… it’s very difficult to treat. Tang Guo, you…”

Tang Guo had already turned and gone out in search of herbs. “I have a way to treat it.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at that.

The Back Cliff Tribe had Tang Guo. It was really the Beast God’s blessing!

“Granny Witch Doctor, you should have told me about this sooner!”

Bai Ye felt terrible seeing his tribe’s people so ill. It was his fault.

Granny Witch Doctor sighed. “I didn’t think it was the plague at first. I realized something was wrong last night, so I gathered everyone up here.” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m

“I went to let you know as soon as I settled in this morning.”

Bai Ye knew very well that Granny Witch Doctor had not come to call him first thing last night because she sympathized with Tang Guo’s difficult pregnancy.

He nodded, his face heavy. Without another word, he quickly went after Tang Guo.

But Tang Guo had already returned with a handful of herbs in her hand.

In fact, she hadn’t found it nearby. She had casually seen it in the past and thought it would be useful, so she had placed it in her space. Now that she was anxious to treat her illness, she took it out when no one was looking.

“I found it. I’ll go back and get the medicine now.”

After Tang Guo finished speaking, she saw them throwing the dead bodies out casually. She couldn’t help but frown and remind them, “You can’t casually throw away corpses that have died from the plague. Corpses are also contagious.”

Bai Ye was enlightened. No wonder some tribes had been unable to completely eliminate the plague even though the witch doctor had found the medicine and it was very effective in treating it!

So the problem was with the corpses!

Granny Witch Doctor understood instantly. “Then what should be done with the body?” she asked quickly.

Actually, she knew that there were places where corpses would be buried deep, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.

Tang Guo said, “Burn the corpses and we’ll burn the plague virus as well.”

Bai Ye and Granny Witch Doctor paused at this. Neither of them spoke.

Bai Ye carried Tang Guo home in silence. Granny Witch Doctor wanted to help her get the medicine, but Tang Guo declined. “I can work on the herbs alone. Granny, get someone to pick some more of these herbs. Everyone in our tribe will have to drink them.”

“You have to drink it if you’re not sick?” Granny Witch Doctor was surprised. This was the first she had heard of it.

“Yes. Cure those who are ill, safeguard those who are not.”

Tang Guo had already washed the herbs as she spoke. Then, she chopped them up and threw them into the pot before adding water to boil.

Granny Witch Doctor didn’t understand, but she didn’t probe. There was no mistaking what the Wisdom Star had said.

She left with a few herbs.

Only then did Tang Guo look at Bai Ye, who had been standing at the side. “Go quickly too. If we don’t deal with the corpses well, it will be very difficult to eradicate the plague in our tribe.”

Bai Ye pursed his lips. He understood what she meant. If they couldn’t eradicate the plague virus, they would have to leave with the orcs who weren’t sick and live somewhere else.

But the price was too high.

Besides, with Tang Guo around now, she had just built a house and started to rear prey. She was also preparing to plant food after spring.

He believed everything she said. The tribe would only get better under her leadership.

However, the prerequisite for all of this to succeed was that they had to take root safely in one place without constantly changing places to live.

So he pursed his lips and gritted his teeth for a moment before turning and plunging into the rain.

Tang Guo knew that orcs were afraid of fire, even though they were now used to making food with it.

However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that many orcs did not start fires in their homes. Most of the orcs still prepared food in the tribal square before going home to eat.

In their eyes, fire was destruction. Destruction. They believed there would be an afterlife, so they did not accept that their bodies would be destroyed by fire.

When Tang Guo said it, she knew that this path was very dangerous.

She also knew how much pressure Bai Ye would be under.

But he was the leader. For everyone’s sake, for the safety of the entire tribe, he had to shoulder that responsibility and convince everyone.

Tang Guo boiled the herbal water. Actually, this was to fool people. What really treated illnesses and saved people was her plant water.

She added five drops of plant water to the pot. It was enough to treat everyone.

Bai Ye left, but instructed Archie to help watch over her.

Tang Guo waved at him and said, “Come, help me carry this pot of medicine out. The medicine is ready. As long as they drink it, their plague will be cured.”

Milo put her hands together and bowed to the sky. “Beast God bless us!” 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m

Then she urged Archie and the other male beast to help Tang Guo carry the medicine.

However, when they reached the cave where the patients were locked, they realized that all the patients in the cave were gone!
