Chapter 640 - 32: Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Novel
"Do you think things are the same now as before?"
"Why wouldn’t they be?"
Mu Mianmian felt a surge of anger in her chest.
Previously, all those mischievous wolf pups were watched over by the females, including feeding and sanitation. After all, these Beastman cubs really do not like cleanliness, and rolling in the mud daily is considered good. They can’t even manage the simplest of tasks like relieving themselves in designated spots!
Before, all she had to do was go and feed the wolf pups at regular intervals each day.
After all, these little wolves were quite similar to dogs.
They could only remember who fed them, not who protected them from behind or cleaned their dirty fur.
In such a situation, Mu Mianmian naturally liked these little wolf pups.
Just give them a bit of food, and they’d obediently behave like dogs.
But now that those females were gone, who is going to take care of matters other than feeding?
Hei Yao couldn’t understand why Mu Mianmian had suddenly changed.
She was now the only female and never participated in hunting, so wasn’t she the best choice for taking care of the children?
"I’m not taking care of them; you let someone else do it."
"Everyone has to go hunting. If there were elders before, they would also help take care of the children.
But now there are no elders or females in the tribe except for you."
Mu Mianmian looked at him, unable to hold back a chill in her heart.
"In your heart, is my only role to take care of the children?"
"Why do you think that way? We lack manpower now, what are you thinking so much for?"
"I’m the leader, it’s not your place to command me. You deal with these wolf pups yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
What a joke, before she was intent on making these wolf pups obedient for future use.
But now, whether these wolf pups can even grow up is a question, and they want to entangle her!
"These wolf pups stayed because of you!"
Otherwise, they could have gone with the old leader to the New Tribe for a good life.
But now Mu Mianmian’s attitude was extremely cold.
She didn’t even bother to pretend because Hei Yao didn’t deserve her pretense.
"I didn’t say anything at the time, anyway, I’m the leader. I’ll arrange for people to take care of them. Hurry up and go hunting while it’s daylight, don’t waste time."
In the end, a male from the Hunting Group stayed behind to take care of the wolf pups.
As for Mu Mianmian, she had other matters to attend to.
She decided to showcase her true value from now on, regardless of how lucky Jiang Lai was. It didn’t change the fact that he’s a useless person.
If someone in the tribe got sick, what would she do?
Thinking of this, Mu Mianmian could almost picture Jiang Lai’s expression at the time.
In the Beast World, she hadn’t been idle. Although she studied Western medicine, she had taken an elective on the basics of traditional Chinese medicine at university, so she remembered some basic herbs very clearly.
The forest was plentiful in these items, and she collected quite a bit of both poisonous and beneficial ones.
With the knowledge she acquired, she also made many poisons. Previously, she scattered them near the granary. They were probably covered by snow, allowing the Beastmen to take advantage.
She had tested the poison’s toxicity many times. Not to mention eating it, just inhaling it could make a strong adult Wolf Clan fall into a coma.
What if it was diluted and put into the water to be drunk?
Abdominal pain, vomiting blood, accompanied by dizziness and vomiting, without treatment within three days, one would die.
Thinking of this, Mu Mianmian glanced at the snow mountain before her.
Currently, most Beast Clan members in the forest drink spring water flowing from the snow mountain.
What she needed to do now was to control the source of the spring.
——
A day passed, the forest was silent with no movement at all, Hei Yao returned from hunting, and Mu Mianmian asked him if anything odd had occurred.
Hei Yao just shook his head.
"No."
"Did you drink the stream water beneath the snow mountain?"
"Yes, it was sweet. You should join us next time."
They drank it?
And nothing happened?
Hei Yao wouldn’t lie to her. This only meant that the stream volume was too large, and what she added was quickly diluted to ineffective levels.
It seemed she needed to increase the dosage.
Because it was flowing water, Mu Mianmian was unsure if the amount she used was enough, so she brought back plenty of water to serve as drinking water for the young pups.
By evening, the cubs who had been active during the day were weak and lying on the ground, refusing to eat or respond, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Hei Yao noticed something was wrong and quickly checked.
One already small wolf pup was breathing with its mouth open, its tongue hanging out and drooling foam.
"What’s going on? Mianmian! Mianmian, come and see what’s happening!"
Mu Mianmian walked over, seeing pups lying everywhere, she had an idea.
She pretended to examine them and then arrived at a conclusion.
"They’ve been poisoned."
"Poisoned? Can it be cured?"
Mu Mianmian frowned.
"It’s hard to cure, but I can try."
Actually, it’s not hard to treat. Treating the symptoms is quite simple. She knew what poison they had ingested, she just needed to use the antidote she had already prepared.
Sure enough, after taking the antidote, the wolf pups slowly regained their energy.
Though one still vomited and even coughed up blood, frightening everyone.
Thankfully, in the end, it stabilized, and Mu Mianmian held it in her arms, gently stroking it.
"It’s alright, with me here, I won’t let anything happen to you."
After this incident, everyone in the tribe respected Mu Mianmian even more.
Though she had her flaws, when it came to curing ailments, there was nothing to criticize.
If it weren’t for her this time, these wolf pups might have been in serious trouble.
Seeing Mu Mianmian’s worried face, Hei Yao stepped forward to comfort her.
"Don’t worry, with spring arriving, many poisonous mushrooms have grown nearby, they probably ate them, which led to the poisoning. After this loss, they’ll learn to be cautious."
"Yes, as long as they’re safe."
After this test, Mu Mianmian roughly understood the necessary dosage.
Originally, she wanted to test it on stronger adult wolves, but they’re all useful for hunting now, so after much deliberation, she chose the currently less useful wolf pups.
She wasn’t worried about the wolf pups having issues, considering she had antidotes prepared.
It was just short-term discomfort as payback for her effort feeding them during this period.
Mastering the dosage, Mu Mianmian went back to the foot of the snow mountain.
This time, she increased the dosage and poured it all into the source of the stream.
This stream traversed the entire forest, including Jiang Lai’s New Tribe.
When everyone becomes poisoned and hopeless, she’ll see how they choose.
Mu Mianmian felt no psychological pressure over what she was doing.
After all, she had prepared plenty of antidotes, sufficient for detoxifying all poisoned Beast Clan members.
She certainly wasn’t the ruthless type.
