Chapter 305: Directly Kill
The rainy season arrived early, so many things needed to be prepared faster, especially herbs and food, which is a major matter concerning the tribe's survival.
In the afternoon, when those who had gone out to gather and hunt returned, the chief notified all tribe members to gather at the tribal clearing.
Seeing the two large rattan bags of chili peppers placed in the middle of the clearing, everyone felt somewhat excited; could this be some newly discovered food?
A beastman warrior, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, secretly pinched one and threw it into his mouth; the next second he let out a miserable howl and began sticking out his tongue, crying 'ahhh'.
Seeing the beastman warrior's face reddened to the point of almost exploding, Wu Yue laughed and cried: 'Go rinse in the river; you'll be fine in a moment.'
The beastfolk, hearing that, ran wildly toward the river with teary, blurry eyes.
Having witnessed the potency of this red fruit, the tribe members involuntarily stepped back a few paces, some fearfully gazing at the two rattan bags.
If this is a newly discovered food, they might as well eat shit.
The shaman watched the fleeing beastman warrior's back, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and exclaimed, 'What kind of silly dimwits are these?!'
He stood up and looked down at the tribespeople: 'I've gathered everyone today because there is a very important matter I need to tell you.'
The half-beast warriors beside him naturally held up several large leaves, weaving through the tribe; what lay on those leaves were naturally the gu worms.
'This is a kind of gu worm; I believe you all know what gu worms are.'
But this gu worm is even more hateful; its food is the life force of our cubs and pregnant females.
The worst part is that while they are alive, we cannot see them; this gu worm only reveals its form when it is being attended to.
The snow tiger shaman's words instantly caused an uproar among the tribe.
This is specifically aimed at harming the cubs; if we let such worms live, wouldn't our tribe have no cubs born?
A tribe without a next generation faces extinction.
The tribe members instantly grew furious: who could be so vicious as to release such gu worms to bring disaster upon our snow tiger tribe?
The snow tiger shaman waved his hand; the tribe members fell silent and all looked at him.
'This gu worm was discovered by the flying eagle tribe; their tribe has had no healthy cubs born for nearly two years.'
Hearing this, the snow tiger tribe members instinctively clasped their own little cubs tightly to their chests.
'Everyone has seen these red herbs; the decoction made from them can kill these hateful gu worms.'
So, over the next few days, your most important task is to take these herbs home, then use the decoction to thoroughly cleanse yourselves, the caves, and the ground before the caves.
He said, also glancing at the beastman warriors nearby: 'The life force within beastfolk is also this gu worm's favorite food, so don't slack off on me.'
If I find that someone's failure to spray the decoction has allowed these gu worms to survive, the only fate awaiting them is to be killed.
Hearing this, the tribe members all gasped; could it be that instead of exile, they are to be directly killed?
Wu Yue also jumped in fright, but thinking that expelling the gu-worm carriers from the tribe might spread the worms to other tribes, she felt the shaman's method was still quite necessary.
