Wu Yue shook her head. "The symptoms are different each ti, but one thing is certain: it spreads continuously among the tribe mbers.
If even one tribe mber contracts this illness, they will infect those around them, until it spreads to the entire tribe, or even the Beastn of other tribes..."
She exhaled. "Until every tribe in this entire forest has been infected."
After speaking, she silently asked her System, ’That was the right way to put it, wasn’t it?’
The System considered this for a mont. ’I suppo...se.’
Wu Yue: "..."
’What do you an, "I suppo...se"?!’
"Then let’s go find the witch now. We’ll hold the ritual for our fallen tribe mbers ahead of schedule and send them on their way."
The Black Wolf Tribe Leader’s expression instantly grew grim. Wu Yue’s words reminded him of sothing his grandfather had once told him.
The carcass of a long-dead beast had been washed into the river, and every tribe mber who drank from that water fell ill. They only recovered after taking witch dicine for a long ti.
Several tribe mbers, whose cases were particularly severe, had even died.
The Black Wolf Tribe witch’s thatched hut was not far away, with several Beastman Warriors standing guard outside.
Seeing the Clan Leader approach with several unfamiliar Beastn, the warrior at the very front stepped forward. "Clan Leader."
The Black Wolf Tribe Leader nodded. "These are Beastman Warriors from the Snow Tiger Tribe. We have a very important matter to discuss with the witch."
"Let them co in."
Before the warrior could speak, the witch’s voice ca from inside the hut.
He sounded to be around the sa age as the Snow Tiger Witch.
The witch’s hut was naturally different. Since it was protectively encircled by the tribespeople in the center, it was the tallest and largest in the entire tribe.
To their surprise, there were several unfamiliar Beastn and a female inside the hut.
Several golden-haired Beastn from the Lion Tribe were kneeling behind the female, their occasional glances in her direction filled with adoration.
Wu Yue glanced at her. The female had a figure similar to Ye Duo’s, but her features were gentler.
The Black Wolf Tribe Leader seed to know these people. After a simple greeting, he introduced the Beastn from the Snow Tiger Tribe and Wu Yue.
Everyone’s gazes toward the mbers of the Snow Tiger Tribe turned aningful.
The Black Wolf Witch’s expression was especially dark. "That treacherous old tiger. Last ti your Snow Tiger Tribe was in trouble, I sent a Witch Disciple from my own tribe to help. And now you send a re Pure Human girl?"
The old man’s dark beard bristled, and his wrinkled face was filled with displeasure.
Wu Yue chuckled softly. "The fluctuations in our tribe’s Witch Disciple’s witch power were only just discovered. They haven’t awakened yet, and they haven’t been studying under our witch for very long.
It was out of gratitude for your previous assistance that our witch sent , as I’m the one with more knowledge of dicinal herbs."
Only then did the Black Wolf Witch turn to Wu Yue. "You’re quite the smooth talker for a little female."
Wu Yue gave a slight nod. "I am only repeating our witch’s words."
With that said, she looked at the Black Wolf Witch. "There is a very important matter that I just discussed with the Clan Leader, concerning how to handle the bodies of your tribe’s dead."
The Black Wolf Tribe Leader nodded emphatically and repeated what Wu Yue had said. "Witch, the bodies of our people are already starting to sll strongly. We can’t wait any longer."
The witch was silent for a mont, then sighed deeply. "Then prepare the ritual for tomorrow morning. Afterward, you’ll organize a party to take our people’s bodies into the forest as soon as possible."
