Huo Qiu sighed, understanding the fragility of the young female. This beastman hadn't married yet, and when he was sick, his brothers would occasionally go over to look after him. Later, his brothers sent his young female to deliver food.
Unexpectedly, the little female fell ill. She was taken to see Gu Yue for treatment. The little female brought medicine and food that day and went to play with the little female she had been with. She started to have a fever that night.
Not only this little female, but also those who came into contact with her started to get fevers. Haitang couldn't help but frown and began to examine the beastmen.
"He wasn't the first person to be infected." After taking his pulse, Haitang discovered that he wasn't the first person to be infected. Huoqiu was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
"I seem to remember that he was one of the patients I treated." Because he was seriously injured, Haitang remembered that she had treated his injuries and that he was taken back afterward because he was fine. How come he developed a fever later?
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded, and Hai Tang pursed her lips. "Go investigate the tribes to see if there are any sick people left. By the way... go investigate the Leopard Tribe and the Snake Tribe." He had examined the man's illness and had been lying in wait for quite some time.
Haitang sighed inwardly. She understood that beastmen were different from females. Beastmen were so strong that even if they were sick, it was impossible to tell the symptoms until they finally fell ill, and then it would take them several days to recover.
The problem is different for the females; they get infected quickly after contact, and then one by one, so even the little ones in Lonely Moon's house might not be able to escape it.
Seeing Haitang's expression, Huoqiu immediately nodded and began investigating. When Da Yi landed, he heard Huoqiu ask, "Oh, you mean this? I've noticed something strange. The snake tribe has been digging in the soil lately and has thrown a lot of babies in. They've all died of illness. But the leopard tribe hasn't done that." Da Yi said.
"Is this important?" Da Yi asked. He felt it wasn't important, since the dead baby wasn't from his tribe and had nothing to do with him.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu's expression changed. It must mean that during the battle with the orcs of the snake tribe, the orcs were infected with the virus and then spread it to their tribe.
Orcs are physically strong, and contact with them might not necessarily cause illness. The problem is that the last battle involved bloodshed, which spreads very quickly, including among the young females...
Thinking of this, Huo Qiu went to find Hai Tang. When Hai Tang heard this, her expression became serious. "Do the people of the Snake Clan eat rats?"
"Eat." Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu spoke up, "We animals retain certain sexual preferences, especially females. Orcs are different; they instinctively like certain things." Just like the orcs in their tiger tribe.
The little beastman loved to forget about his yarn balls at home. Of course, he sometimes felt that when he watched his wife knitting and rolling the yarn balls, he couldn't help but want to reach out his claws, though he didn't know why.
Haitang pursed her lips. She understood. Just like Dongfang Long, after he transformed into a beast, he liked all things shiny and sparkly. He would keep pretty stones if he thought they looked nice, and sometimes he would choose to give them to her.
Her younger brother would like to play with the yarn ball because the tiger and cat are a family, Haitang said. "Never mind, it doesn't matter if he comes from the snake tribe or not. What's important is that I need herbs."
Whether the virus came from the snake tribe or not was no longer important; what mattered was that he needed herbs. Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded.
Haitang immediately started looking for people to take care of the children, and then she carried a basket on her back to search for herbs, just as Dongfanglong arrived.
Gu Yue also ran over. When Haitang looked at Gu Yue, Gu Yue said, "Teacher, was it...? I'm so sorry." She knew the situation was serious, so she went to find the teacher herself...
"Don't think too much about it. The important thing now is to come with me to find herbs," Haitang said. The females and the little females wouldn't last long, but the little beastmen were alright.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue nodded, and Guo'er also ran over to say she wanted to go together. Hai Tang didn't pay attention to who the people were; her mind was full of questions about herbs, so she simply nodded and started leading the group to find herbs.
Dongfang Long didn't say anything or ask Haitang any questions. He simply followed behind her, as the medicine wasn't easy to find.
Moreover, only Haitang knew her. Under these circumstances, Huoqiu asked Huoling to go with him. The females in the tribe knew that there was a contagious disease, and they were all terrified.
The children in the family are all detained and not allowed to go out. They need to find herbs on Haitang's side, but it's not something that can be done just by looking.
When Dongfang Long looked at Haitang, he held her hand and said, "Tangtang, don't be too anxious. We can take it slowly."
“We can’t delay. Among the infected children are females around three years old. If they were older, they would be fine, but they’re too young to survive…” Haitang began, “If the females’ constitutions are like the beastmen’s, I…”
"I'm sorry... I got a little anxious." Haitang originally wanted to say that the female's beastly instincts had been stripped away, which caused this consequence, and she was a little anxious about lashing out at Dongfang Long.
However, she quickly realized that Dongfang Long was not wrong, and she composed herself. Dongfang Long felt a little sorry for Haitang's reaction. "Yes, I know Tangtang didn't mean it. I'll look for herbs with Tangtang." Dongfang Long nodded.
Huo Ling looked away and said, "We might not be able to get back until very late today, or it might be several days. Gu Yue... come here for a moment, I have something to tell you, and you go back to take care of those children."
