Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 683 Crane Grass Sprouts
With a sigh, Wu Yue walked over to the Great Shaman Kuma, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Great Shaman, I don't know how to expel this worm from the human body."

Goodness, she only took deworming medicine when she was very young, and it was one of those sweet candy balls. I remember she was still wearing open-crotch pants back then.

The healing wizard raised his pale eyebrows slightly, not making things difficult for her: "Does Wizard Yue recognize this kind of insect?"

Wu Yue's lips twitched a few times, as if she wanted to deny it.
But seeing the anxious, fearful yet expectant eyes of the Kuma people around him, he still sighed and said, "I've seen it on the Great Shaman's animal skin."

Great Shaman?
The surrounding Kuma tribesmen were completely bewildered, but the Kuma High Priest and the knowledgeable healing shamans knew who she was talking about, and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Alright, don't let the tribesmen come over to this small puddle for now. Bring all the tribesmen who were here to one place. Until we come up with a treatment, don't let them have any contact with the tribesmen."

Upon hearing the order, the crowd, though terrified, silently obeyed due to their reverence for the Great Shaman and their absolute obedience, following the orc warriors away.

At this point, only the Kuma High Priest, the Healing Wizard, and the Kuma Chieftain remained in the not-so-spacious open space.

Wu Yue then said, "Although these black and red worms are much larger than the ones I saw on the Great Witch Beast Skin before, they don't look any different. They are a type of parasite called horsehair worms."

"Parasite?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Wu Yue patiently explained the meaning of parasites to them.

"According to the records on the Great Witch Beast Skin, horsehair worms mostly parasitize wild beasts and rarely infect humans. So this is the first time I have seen a half-orc warrior with horsehair worms in his body, and these horsehair worms are so big."

"Does the wizard Yue know how to treat or kill these insects?"

Wu Yue said helplessly, "When we have worms in our bodies, we take a pre-made medicine. I had never heard of that medicine before, so I don't know how it's made."

Her eyes were sincere and helpless, and none of the people present doubted the truthfulness of her words.

The three shamans of Kuma exchanged glances and sighed helplessly: "If you, Shaman Yue, think of any way to alleviate the suffering of our people, please tell us. Our Kuma tribe will certainly reward you handsomely."

Wu Yue sighed softly and nodded: "Okay, I'll do my best."

After saying goodbye to the three, Wu Yue strolled back to the small tent assigned to her by the Kuma tribe.

"Tongzi, are there any herbs that can kill these parasites like horsehair worms?"

Thinking of that scene before, Wu Yue felt very uncomfortable.

"Tongzi, did you notice just now that there were several animals that died abnormally in the small puddle where the Kuma tribe was washing their prey?"

Tongzi pondered for a moment: "You mean those prey that look bloated, as if they've been soaking in water for a long time?"

Wu Yue nodded: "I was just wondering before, but now that I think about it, although everyone was hunting along the way, the number of powerful orc warriors was limited. After some were assigned to protect the wizards, there weren't many people left to hunt. So the prey that came back from the hunt might not be enough to feed the whole team."

Therefore, those bloated prey were either drowned during the floods in the Linhe River or killed by horsehair worms, and were then picked up by hungry orc warriors who intended to prepare and eat them, only to become infected themselves.

"Host, the system records that there is an herb called Agrimonia pilosa sprout that can kill internal parasites. However, this herb needs to be dried and ground into powder before consumption, so even if you find this herb now, you cannot help the Kuma tribe immediately."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's previously gloomy mood instantly brightened: "As long as there's a way, let's go find it now and make the medicine powder as soon as possible. We'll save as many as we can."

Besides, no one can be sure that we won't need this herb in the future.

Even in our highly developed societies, parasites still existed in people's bodies; it's always good to be safe than sorry.

Seeing her say that, Tongzi nodded in agreement: "Okay, this time I'll use my own points to activate the system search."

Wu Yue glanced at the seemingly generous Xiao Tongzi with amusement: "Then I'll trouble you to spend the money."

She then found the healing wizard and told him that she wanted to go out to find herbs. The healing wizard was terrified by the horrible horsehair worm and didn't bother to ask any questions. He simply arranged for several powerful orc warriors to protect her.

"Tongzi, are you sure there are Agrimonia pilosa sprouts around here?"

Wu Yue brushed away a bush that had brushed against her face again, and the exposed parts of her arms and neck felt stinging and itchy.

The chubby little system administrator was currently wearing a suit and overalls, with black-rimmed glasses that made him look like an old scholar, and was intently observing the system map.

"Host, according to the growth conditions given by the system, there should be Agrimonia pilosa sprouts growing in this area."

The orc warriors responsible for protecting Wu Yue were alarmed when they saw the patches of red bumps on Wizard Yue's arms and neck. The orc leader rushed forward and said, "Wizard Yue, you're injured!"

He looked rather remorseful.

Wu Yue shook her head: "I just bumped into some branches and leaves and got stung by the fuzz on them. I'll just wash it with herbal water when I get back."

The orc warriors looked at each other's thick, dark arms, then at Wizard Moon's slender, fair arms. It wasn't that Wizard Moon was too weak; it was that they were too rough.

As they went deeper, the orc warriors became more vigilant and surrounded Wu Yue, forming a circle as they moved forward.

Wu Yue felt a little nervous. As they went deeper into the forest, they could clearly feel the sounds in the surrounding forest gradually decreasing and the light gradually becoming dimmer.

"Tongzi, are you sure the herbs we're looking for are still deep inside? This place doesn't look very safe. Herbs are valuable, but our lives are more precious."

The system nodded seriously, its chubby cheeks bobbing up and down as it shook its head: "The system scan shows it's not far away. Don't give up, host! You've already walked ninety-nine steps."

It was just one last shudder away.

Thinking of something, Wu Yue paused for a moment, then continued to follow behind the orc warriors, silently asking the system in her system space, "That crane grass sprout isn't some rare herb, is it? When I read novels before, those rare and exotic herbs were always protected by powerful guardian beasts."
