Upon hearing the news, Maoduo had an inexplicable feeling that the other party had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"What has Bai Na been doing these past few days?"
She suddenly had a thought and wanted to know what the other person was doing.
Unfortunately, when asked, the orcs who were still willing to interact with them all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
CatDodo was a little disappointed, but gritted its teeth and decided to secretly come to the area on the day of the other party's sacrifice.
She was alone, and if she hid well, she could manage. The scene was quite lively; it seemed that all the healthy and active orcs had come here.
Bai Na stood on the high platform and proclaimed loudly, "Beast God, please protect your people once again, bestow endless grace, and free us from the curse of calamity..."
He slightly raised his hand, and the fire in front of him seemed to receive some signal, suddenly growing larger. The sight of it made all the beastmen gasp, and their eyes filled with respect and admiration as they looked at Bai Na.
After the ceremony, Bai Na stepped down from the stage, waved his hand slightly, and his men brought over a large pot.
Bai Na served bowls of herbal medicine and gave everyone a small cup of the dark medicine.
Each orc was filled with boundless gratitude, some even wishing they could kneel before him, showing him ever greater respect.
CatDodo's eyes were drawn to the medicinal soup; it would be great if she could get some to do some research...
She gritted her teeth; this wasn't a good opportunity, so she had no choice but to go back.
However, as the afternoon progressed, she noticed that everyone was talking about Bai Na. Suddenly, Bai Na's reputation in Chen Gui was soaring; it seemed that after drinking the medicinal soup, the conditions of those who were ill had stopped worsening, and some were even showing signs of improvement.
"This is not right."
"I have to figure out a way, Bai Na is a dangerous guy..."
The next day, Cat Dodo went to find Gal, only to discover that Gal's reputation had been completely overshadowed by Bai Na, which was a bad sign.
Unexpectedly, this time she was stopped by the guards of Gal. "I'm sorry, the city lord has business to attend to and cannot see you."
"Then at least tell me when Gal is free!" Cat Duoduo tried to wait, but didn't get an answer at all.
Meanwhile, not far away, a discussion was taking place.
The core of the discussion boils down to one thing: only by killing CatDodo can this disaster be ended.
"Are you kidding me?" Gal looked at the people who made the suggestion with displeasure.
Senjie, who had always been loyal to Gal, sighed and spoke up, "I know what you're thinking. You and CatDodo have a special bond. The problem is that the news has spread like wildfire and can't be contained. Even the people are starting to side with Baina. We can't stop it..."
Upon hearing this, Gal clenched his fists involuntarily. It was Bai Na again!
The current rumors are a terrible thing. If not handled properly, his position as city lord will inevitably be taken by Bai Na. All his and his parents' efforts will have gone down the drain...
"Since he's busy, I'll be going now."
"But you must tell him that I've come to see him."
Cat Duoduo left with a heavy heart, her brows furrowed, still unsure of what to do.
Once she left, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Thank goodness she left, otherwise I really would have been too scared to launch an attack."
"I really don't understand why the city lord hasn't issued a formal order. I really want to expel her..."
They genuinely listened to what others were saying, and inevitably developed fear and murderous intent towards Mao Duoduo. In this particular era, rumors can kill.
"I'm sure I can find a way."
CatDodo gritted its teeth and decided to gather some special herbs to brew for the snake cubs.
I don't know if it was one of the herbal medicines she fed that worked, but both snakes were in very good health and didn't need the physical protection methods that Mao Duoduo taught them to avoid infection.
In the evening, she simply grilled meat, wrapping it in wild vegetables, so she could enjoy both meat and vegetables at the same time. This time, no one complained; everyone knew that Mao Duoduo had been in a bad mood lately and couldn't muster the energy to cook anything special.
Even so, being able to live together is still a happy thing. Before going to sleep, Cat Duoduo took a special look at Snake Three. With everyone carefully feeding him, his weight loss had slowed down and seemed to be under some control.
At night, when it was time for bed, Maoduo waited until Snake One and Snake Two were completely asleep before taking out a charcoal pencil wrapped in animal skin and recording the new round of experimental methods on the tree bark.
I still feel something is missing; there are too few cases to observe right now…
According to her plan, she should consider using all the herbal decoctions mentioned in medical texts.
However, it's impossible to use all the remedies available for these types of symptoms, especially those treated in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She needed to carefully discern the true nature of the illness from hundreds of different herbal decoctions.
Indeed, we should check for common characteristics in all patients tomorrow...
The unexpected event occurred the following day.
While Maoduoduo was still sleeping, a commotion arose outside.
She roused herself and reassured the first and second snakes to continue resting. When she went outside, she found a large group of people surrounding the cave.
Phileas, who was leading the group, kept urging everyone, "We'll be safe once we've completely dealt with the person who brought us misfortune."
"The patients who have drunk the herbal decoction have all improved, but there is still one last step. As long as we persevere, we can completely leave this calamity behind."
The others also changed their expressions, disregarding the fact that the person standing in front of them was a Serpent Rong.
"Kill him!"
"Kill Cat Duoduo!"
"Let White Tiger City be completely at peace!"
...
A crowd surged forward, and many of them even transformed into their true forms, becoming quite dangerous and aggressive orcs, no less so than the White Tiger.
CatDodo's heart tightened, and she wanted to use whatever was around her to deal with the danger, but she was too late.
Under the combined attack of many orcs, the Serpent Rong reverted to its original form and attacked with great ferocity. With a sudden flick of its tail, it slammed many orcs heavily to the ground, causing them to cough up blood in pain.
Even so, the orc attack groups continued their relentless assaults.
The Serpent Rong seemed unaffected, easily dealing with anyone who came, and the number of fallen orcs grew ever larger, making Felir's heart tighten.
This is bad. So many orcs attacking together, yet they can't do anything to the Serpent Rong...
"Ferris, let's go." Will looked worried. He had seen everything Ferris had been doing these past few days, but he couldn't stop her.
"Useless trash, if you're scared, then leave. Don't stop me."
