Shen Qi sat on a stone bench covered with soft animal skin. With the animal skin as a cushion, it didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
She picked up the fruit on the table. It was a white fruit as big as her palm. She had never seen such a fruit before. She took a bite and it was very crispy and juicy inside.
Suddenly an orc came in with a plate of steaming barbecue in his hand and placed it on her table.
"Is there anything else you need? I'll bring it to you right away."
The orc stared at her, wondering what ability this female had that made the chief take such good care of her?
The patriarch had never eaten these fine fruits, and none of the females in the tribe had ever seen them either. All the fruits that were picked were given to her.
"No, I'll call you if I need you."
The orc nodded and left.
Shen Qi looked at the sky outside from the cave. The dusk gradually darkened and slowly swallowed up the sun's brilliance.
......
"Do you feel that the wound is getting better?"
"It seems so. It doesn't hurt as much anymore. Could it be because of the powder the clan leader gave me today?"
"That should be it. The powder is so effective. I think we can be cured soon."
"It hurts, but don't damage my skin. I don't know where these ugly things came from."
"Oh, what a pity! I haven't kissed my partner in days, all because of this damn thing. Prolonged contact can be contagious. I'm so angry!"
"Me too. Well, I'm almost well now. They're just outside the cave, so we can chat a little."
Several male beasts sitting on the ground outside roasting meat heard what was said inside and responded, "Yes, call us if you need anything!"
Shen Qi hid in the night, and the dense grass covered her.
She saw several dark creatures flying past the male beasts and into the house.
It was so small that if it weren't for the firelight, the shadows it cast on the wall would have been almost invisible.
Shen Qi walked out from the bushes and heard the rustling sound. The male beast roasting meat immediately raised its head and looked in her direction.
"who!"
They saw her walking towards them, and the dim firelight shone on her face. Then they recognized that she was the female tiger who had been with the chief during the day.
"Tiger female, why are you here?"
"I'll come and see them."
"Then you have to be careful, it's contagious, don't stay too long."
"Um."
As soon as Shen Qi entered, she saw them preparing to lie down. They looked at the sudden appearance of a figure and asked in confusion: "Little female, what's wrong? We are just about to lie down and sleep."
The other female's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that they are here to deliver medicine powder?"
Shen Qi shook his head, "Did you see anything coming in?"
Several females looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"What? What came in?"
"No, you're the only one coming in now, what else could come in?"
"Yeah, if anyone comes we'll definitely know."
"They are flying...insects." Shen Qi suddenly thought of the mission assigned by the system. It seemed that it was the erosion of their skin caused by erosion insects.
Could it be that the black thing she saw just now was a deer?
So where are they flying to now?
Hearing her words, the females turned pale with fear.
"What? Bugs! I hate bugs!"
"Those bugs are so disgusting! I hope they're not the smooth and slippery ones, otherwise they'll make me sick!"
Shen Qi: "Look at your body to see if there is anything black."
"I don't have any bugs."
"I don't have any."
"Female, are you seeing things? We don't have the black bugs you mentioned, and we didn't see any bugs coming in."
Shen Qi looked at their bodies. There was dirt on the edges of the eroded areas, but no wounds on the clean areas.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Maybe I saw it wrongly. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest."
One of the females waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. If it weren't for the powder you made, our injuries would be much more serious."
"Did you feel an itch just now?"
"No, I guess it's because of the powder. It's working!"
Shen Qi nodded and left the room.
The voice was not quiet, and the male beasts outside heard the whole thing.
"Tiger female, are there really bugs getting in?"
"Yes, I saw it."
"What about those bugs? Where are they? Can they be killed?"
"I have a solution. Wait until they fall asleep. Just wait at the door and don't disturb them."
They were confused and wanted to ask for solutions, but when they saw her leave after she finished speaking, they gave up and looked at each other.
Shen Qi found a palm-sized stone and used his spiritual power to shatter it into several small pebbles the size of fingernails, which he placed in the leaves.
No one knows where these ecdysis mites are hiding. The powder can only relieve their pain and injuries, but cannot cure the itching.
They said they felt itchy at night, so the erosion must have caused the itching when they were asleep.
Shen Qi took the leaves wrapped with pebbles and returned to the outside of the cave. They were still squatting, and the flames of the fire in front of them swayed in the wind.
Seeing her, a male beast whispered, "They are asleep."
Shen Qi leaned against the wall and heard the scratching sound inside, and his eyes moved.
He said to a male beast beside him, "Take a torch and follow me in later."
"Ahhh good."
Shen Qi opened the leaf and held the stone inside in the palm of his hand, with one stone pinched between each fingertip of his other hand.
She looked at the orc closest to the torch, "Let's go."
The orc took a torch and walked over to her and went in together.
The dark cave was instantly illuminated by warm light.
There were rotten areas on the females' bodies, with pitch-black flying insects crawling on them. There was one on each of the five females.
The sudden brightness caught the insects off guard, and they immediately flapped their thin wings, preparing to escape out the door.
Shen Qi raised his hand, condensing spiritual power at his fingertips, and each stone seemed to have a home, instantly shooting straight towards them.
The last one, Shen Qi took the torch from his hand and waved it before it left the cave. The fire burned its wings. Without wings, its entire body fell to the ground and was gradually annihilated by the flames.
"What kind of black bug is this? Its belly looks like a female giving birth!"
Shen Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard the sound outside. Is there anything leaking?
As soon as Shen Qi came out, he saw the worm. It looked like a heavy iron ball was hanging from its belly, which was bigger than its head and was flying up and down clumsily.
"Shoot it to death."
The orc who had just discovered it heard it, raised his big, broad hand and pressed it against the wall. It seemed that the worm was too full and its speed slowed down a lot. It had no resistance at this moment.
Feeling a splash of liquid on his palm, the orc moved his hand away, and the flattened worm fell to the ground. He smelled a foul odor on the liquid on his hand and rubbed it on the wall in disgust.
"What the hell is this? It stinks!"
