CHAPTER 711: 【705】BEAST WORLD FARMING 15 (SECOND UPDATE)

A female had brought her cub to the Nanny, saying that their cub had been coughing for quite some time now, and the thick phlegm he coughed up even contained blood clots. At first, no one took it seriously because the Nanny had prescribed some medicine for the cub, asking the female to go home and brew the bitter medicine for the child to drink.

But suddenly one day, the child had difficulty breathing and struggled to catch his breath, and he could not control his transformation into his Beast Form, shape-shifting back and forth.

What was even more terrifying was that his high fever wouldn’t subside, and he appeared to be on the verge of respiratory failure. Witch Doctor Grandma was helpless because she lacked thorough knowledge and was not omnipotent; not every illness could be cured. Definitely, there were cases she couldn’t handle, especially this cub’s urgent condition.

So, even though the child’s parents knelt on the ground, begging her, she could only tearfully admit her inability to help.

However, Tangtang, who had always observed the matter as a bystander, felt she had seen this illness somewhere before.

She desperately tried to transform into her human form, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t manage it. Instead, she seized the opportunity when the parents were not paying attention to their child to stealthily jump onto a shelf and touch the cub’s throat. At that moment, the cub had assumed his human form and although she couldn’t discern anything, she could clearly feel the difficulty he had swallowing.

Tangtang had a bold speculation, and utilizing all her strength, she went around the back of the house. Perhaps it was divine intervention or knowing her urgency in saving someone, but either way, she successfully transformed into a human.

She put on the clothes Ayin had made for her before entering the house, "Would you let me try?"

Transforming into human form for the second time had taken its toll on Tangtang, causing her face to turn somewhat pale. Her right eyebrow bone as well as her right ear, left arm, left thigh, and right calf bore many scabbed-over scars, but this did not detract from her ethereal beauty. Indeed, her appearance startled the surrounding Beastmen and females.

"You are... Little Purple Mink?" If not for the clear clan symbol on her neck, these people might have struggled to guess her identity.

Tangtang nodded, "There’s no time to lose. The cub’s situation can’t be delayed. Would you let me try?"

The female and the robust Bear Beastman had already prepared for the worst. With the Nanny at a loss and themselves even more clueless, although they didn’t know why this little female dared to take on the task, out of desperation, they could only entrust their child’s hope to Tangtang.

Tangtang left only the Nanny, asking all others to leave the room.

Although this era had no alcohol, there was a medicinal herb that numbed the nerves, which the Nandi Clan had learned to use due to the frequent injuries among Beastmen.

The Nanny had some powder made from crushed seeds and also some brewed medicine. She fetched the medicine to feed the child, who soon fell into a deep sleep, maintaining his human form.

Nanny looked on in surprise as Tangtang rummaged through her herbs, "Little Purple Mink, do you also practice medicine?"

"I only learned from you, Nanny. Recently, I’ve acquired some knowledge. The cub is in such a state now, and I suspect there’s something in his trachea, so I need to make an incision to check. I’ve already put him to sleep; he won’t feel any pain for now, but I’ll need to borrow your bone knife, and please, could you boil some water for me? Remember, it has to be boiling water, not raw water."

She wanted to ask for disinfectants, alcohol, and cotton, but none of these were available. Whether the cub would survive, she didn’t even know herself. Now, their only hope lay in the extraordinary regenerative abilities of the Beastmen.

She prepared the bone needle, some extremely durable spider silk sutures, and some medicinal powder that could act as a disinfectant.

After getting everything ready, she gently sliced open the cub’s throat. She was a respiratory doctor previously, naturally experienced in such surgeries, so she knew exactly where to make the incision. Blood spurted out, and she quickly covered it with a piece of muslin, then searched inside the bloody throat for something...

When Nanny came in with the boiled water, she witnessed Tangtang using two bone clamps to extract a long, mushy piece from the cub’s trachea, throwing it onto a muslin cloth beside her. What shocked her even more was that the thing was still moving.

Tangtang then found another small, long flesh worm and made sure there were no more before she began to clean the wound with warm water, sprinkle medicine, and suture. If such a surgery had been performed in the future, it certainly would have resulted in death from post-operative infections because ordinary humans couldn’t withstand such risks.

But this was the ancient times, the Beastmen’s resistance and the overall environment considered, it was still uncertain if he could survive.

Nevertheless, Tangtang boldly proceeded with the suturing. After the suturing, she applied some disinfectant and pain-relieving medication, then cleaned the cub’s body, covered him with warm beast skins, and quietly waited for a miracle.

However, she still took the object extracted from the cub’s throat to show everyone and explained,

"Do you recognize this?"

"Blood Worm? Isn’t this a Blood Worm? Are you saying this came from my cub’s neck?"

"It should be stated more accurately that it was from his trachea. It had been clinging inside his airway, one on each side, which is why he had difficulty breathing. Moreover, this parasite has a particularly strong adhering ability and can move around the ENT areas, which is extremely dangerous. Although the object has been removed, it’s still uncertain if he’d survive. We need to pray for the protection of the Beast God."

In discussing the origin of this thing, Tangtang took the opportunity to thoroughly explain the difference between raw and boiled water.

"We all grew up drinking raw water, just collecting it directly from any small stream or river. But have you ever considered whether these waters might contain animal dung, spawn, or some other unknown organisms? They might appear clean, but many larvae eggs are invisible to us, especially the Blood Worms, which favor the moist environments inside beasts. As they grow, they pose life-threatening risks to both Beastmen and females. Therefore, I urge everyone to learn to drink boiled water. Boiling the water can kill most pathogens and prevent illnesses in the vulnerable females and cubs."

Although she felt she had explained clearly, people still regarded her words with skepticism. After all, for many years, they had not witnessed anyone die from drinking raw water, yet they had seen numerous instances where vomit and feces contained worms.
