"Then we'll go there to rest for the night, Niu Da, you will lead the way."
Bai Ze stopped and motioned for Niu Da to lead the way.
Niu Da led them and ran towards the tribe.
After a while, Wan Yu saw various caves appearing in front of her.
The grassland suddenly became quiet. It was eerily quiet, except for the sounds they made.
Bai Ze noticed something unusual and looked around cautiously.
When they took a closer look, Wan Yu's hair suddenly stood up.
There were many orcs lying at the entrance of the cave.
Some of the orcs were still surrounded by flies.
"Back off." Bai Ze's sharp voice sounded, leading Wan Yu back a few steps.
He couldn't feel the breath of the orcs, and all of them were dead.
Wan Yu: "Bai Ze, what's going on? Why are so many orcs dead?"
"I don't know. They seem to have died of illness. There are no wounds or the smell of blood."
It was because of this, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered it until he got so close.
Aunt Niu: "Niu Da, isn't that Cat Girl? She was fine when we came here before, why are they all dead now?"
Aunt Niu's voice trembled as she recognized the cat girl who had taken them in before.
"I don't know, don't be afraid, I'm here, boss, what should we do now?"
Niu Da asked Bai Ze, made an offensive move, and turned around in a defensive posture to look around.
"There is still an orc alive there, let's go down and have a look."
With sharp eyes, Wanwan saw a young orc with cat ears sitting on the ground, leaning against a stone with his back, his head shaking.
Bai Ze took Wanyu over and stopped about five meters away from the cat-eared orc.
The cat-orc looked surprised when he saw so many orcs, and then saw a familiar person.
"Niu Da, Aunt Niu, why are you here?"
When the cat-eared orc saw Niu Da and the others, his black eyes became brighter and brighter.
"It's a long story. Our race was defeated in the war and sold as slaves. These two are our sellers. I'm passing by here and want to rest for a night. I'll stop by to see you and Cat Girl. Cat Girl..."
The cat-eared orc was in a daze for a moment, and his eyes darkened.
"Cat Girl is dead. The leader of our tribe went to the Cow Clan next door to exchange for food. He fell ill when he came back. Later, all the orcs who came into contact with the leader fell ill and died."
After the cat-eared orc finished speaking, a grown man shed tears silently.
It was like being stabbed into the heart with a sharp blunt knife, which made him almost unbearable. His relatives and clan members were all dead.
Looking at their symptoms, Wanyu already had a clue.
"They are infected with the plague. This disease is particularly terrible." Wan Yu's voice worsened.
Bai Ze took Wanyu back a few steps, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Wanwan, what is the plague?"
"Plague is an infectious disease. For example, the sanitary conditions have always been very poor. The eaten bones are littered in the caves, and the orcs eat fishy and smelly food, which is not good for digestion, and the accumulation of food can cause internal heat."
Wanyu touched her chin to explain to them.
"Also, after defecating in a cave or in a place with a lot of drinking water, dirty sewage flows in the ditch, and the sewage is discharged, so the earth's energy surges upward. When it rains, the rain is rampant and mixed with the sewage. , flooded everywhere, flowed all over the place, and when the sun was exposed again, the disease steamed up and entered the internal organs of the orcs, accumulating over a long period of time to form a disease, called a plague."
The more Wan Yu spoke, the more her brows furrowed. This was a very serious problem.
Bai Ze: "Then this disease is very serious."
Niu Da: "Wanyu, can Brother Cat be saved?"
"This disease is very serious and spreads very quickly. If the infection spreads and there is no isolation and defensive measures, all the orcs who are infected will die."
After Wan Yu finished speaking, the hearts of all the orcs began to beat violently.
This disease can actually be contagious. One person will infect one person. When more and more people are infected, the entire beast world will face destruction.
"Although this disease is very serious, it is not incurable with herbal medicine. It should have infected many orcs by now. I am just a little female and I am not that capable of taking care of it."
At this moment, everyone was silent, and everyone's face was covered with a thick layer of haze. The air around them seemed to have solidified, making people feel suffocating.
"Uncle Niu, take that orc out and wrap his hands in animal skin to isolate him before going."
Wan Yu stared at the cat-eared orc and said to Niu Da.
"Bai Ze, give Uncle Niu a piece of animal skin." Wan Yu sighed helplessly, causing herself another trouble.
"Yeah." Bai Ze hummed lightly and found an animal skin for Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu walked towards the cat-eared orc with his hands wrapped in animal skin.
"Don't come here, Uncle Niu, I will infect you then, stay away from me."
When the cat-eared orc saw Uncle Niu walking over, a look of resistance appeared on his face.
"My new owner, that little female, is a great witch doctor. She cured my partner today."
Uncle Niu hurriedly tried to persuade the cat-eared orc.
Bai Ze: "Wanwan plans to treat it."
Wan Yu raised her eyes and found that Bai Ze was looking at her with interest, with a faint smile in her slightly narrowed eyes.
Wan Yu: "Well... let's use ice water to treat the epidemic."
Aunt Niu: "What is the ice water treatment method?" Aunt Niu interjected curiously. She has never heard that ice water can cure diseases.
Wan Yu: "The method of treating the epidemic with ice water is to put ice cubes in a large vat, turn it into ice water, and let the patient drink it as much as he wants. After drinking it all, let the patient take medicine again at night. The patient "sweats like rain, and then "Healing", ice water has the effect of "penetrating deeply", which can quickly expel the disease from the body. Sweating also detoxifies, thus curing the disease." Wan Yu patiently explained to them.
Bai Ze: "The weather is so hot now, where can we get the ice water?"
Bai Ze's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Don't worry, since I said I would use this method, there is a way."
Wan Yu raised her hand, turned her wrist, and shook the bracelet on her wrist.
"Idiot, don't you remember this?" Wanyu stood on tiptoes and rubbed Baize's face.
"These are the scales Lan Yue gave you." Bai Ze clamped Wan Yu's little hand with a smile on his face.
Wan Yu: "I accidentally discovered this when I was taking a shower. If you put this scale into the water, the water will become colder and colder. It's very magical."
Wan Yu had forgotten this, but now that she needed to use it, she remembered it again.
"I didn't expect that the scales of the mermaid tribe have this function. I have never heard of it."
Bai Ze was surprised that Lan Yue would give Wan Yu such a precious gift.
"I think it's amazing too." Wanyu poked the blue-gold scales.
Uncle Niu supported the cat-eared orc and ran over quickly.
The cat-eared orc had fainted, his face was red and steaming.
