But there is one thing that no matter how many Beastmen there are, or how good the countermeasures are, they cannot completely avoid its harm.
That is the Filth Beast!
There is a source of pollution in the Beast World Continent, and no one knows what its source is. Once a wild beast is infected by this filth, it will either die or become a Filth Beast.
The infected wild beasts will gain a great increase in strength and power. It is not easy for Beastmen to deal with them, and they often need many people to work together to kill them, or to escape from them.
But it is worth noting that the most terrifying thing about the Filth Beast is that if a Beastman is scratched or bitten by it, there is a fifty percent chance of being infected by this filth, thereby losing their mind, turning black all over, and dying miserably.
If it's just an injury, even if the injury leaves only a breath, gathering the healing power of all the females in the tribe to heal, it is still very likely to save the person.
But once tainted, it's almost incurable, a dead end!
What's even more terrifying is that the tainted Beastman must be burned immediately after death, otherwise its corpse may also turn into a source of pollution, and then continue to infect other wild beasts.
"Well, but we can't be sure yet, we have to see what A Han is like tomorrow. If the wound doesn't turn black, that's the best situation, otherwise..." A Cai looked worried.
It is impossible to fully determine whether it is tainted when it is first injured, although the wound after being tainted will obviously be more difficult to heal than ordinary wounds, but this alone cannot be conclusive.
To confirm, wait for about ten hours, and you can judge from the color of the wound.
"Then what can we do during this time? Can we only wait?" Xiao Jinyue asked.
"Yes, we can only wait." Ya Ya nodded with a wry smile, "We can only hope that the Beast God will protect and keep A Han safe, otherwise Wu Li will be very sad."
A Han is Wu Li's first Beast Husband, and they are also childhood sweethearts. Although Wu Li has a total of six Beast Husbands, A Han is definitely the most important one.
Xiao Jinyue fell silent.
"Let's go back too, and go to visit Wu Li after dawn tomorrow. It's no use being anxious now, it will only add to her troubles," A Cai said.
And the Leader's side, sent people to pay attention to A Han's situation, and instructed them to report to her immediately if there were any new developments.
Then, she called the people and began to distribute today's Beast Meat.
All the females in the tribe will receive a piece of "basic" Beast Meat. This is determined by the special status of the females. In addition, the male Beastmen who participate in the hunting will be allocated according to their work.
In addition, about a quarter of the Beast Meat belongs to the tribe. This meat needs to be dried and used as dried food for emergencies.
And the cutting and drying of these Beast Meats requires the females to take turns to complete. This work is not tiring, will not consume too much physical strength, and there is no danger.
"Xiao Jinyue, you join Ni Duo and the others today, just to learn something, so you will know what to do when it's your turn in the future," the Leader called out Xiao Jinyue's name.
"Okay." Xiao Jinyue readily agreed.
Since she lives here and wants to enjoy the protection and care of the tribe, she will certainly not refuse the work she should do.
Seeing her agree, the Leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although this female is a trash, at least she is not a troublemaker, and she seems to be quite easy to talk to.
Xiao Jinyue took her piece of Beast Meat and went back to the cave first to put it back.
She estimated that she could only rely on the tribe's "basic" to fill her hunger these days. After all, although she has Beast Husbands, the four of them have no feelings for her, and they are also weak and unable to hunt any prey.
Tong Sang said when she was washing clothes by the river that Huo Yu is blind and cannot go out, and Lin Ye is sick and cannot fight. These two cannot participate in hunting, otherwise they will become a burden to others if they go out.
As for Bing Yan, although he is weak, he is at least a person and can barely do some odd jobs with the squad and contribute a little value, so he will still participate in hunting.
Only Shan Chong, his ugliness does not affect his hunting, so he is the only one with normal combat power among the four.
It can be said that since the Beast Husbands followed Su Ruoxia back to the Fox Tribe, they have been relying on Shan Chong to support them （. The Beast Meat that Bing Yan gets from participating in hunting is not enough for him to eat ）.
After Xiao Jinyue knew their situation, she didn't expect to be supported by them anymore. In addition to the basic food that the tribe gives to the females, she also plans to find other ways to obtain Beast Meat.
But no matter what, the common tasks in the tribe still need to be completed, and she can't be lazy.
So after she put back the Beast Meat, she went to meet Ni Duo and the others.
It's all very simple work, there is no technical content. Xiao Jinyue knew how to do it after taking a look. After learning, she buried her head and worked, while listening to Ni Duo and the others gossiping.
For example, in the Deer Clan Tribe not far away, another female has taken in her sixteenth Beast Husband.
For example, who in the tribe has taken a liking to whom, but one of them has a Master, so these two Masters will definitely face a battle.
Tsk, so Beastmen also gossip!
Xiao Jinyue doesn't know the people they are talking about, but it doesn't affect her happy eating of gossip.
After a while, Ni Duo and the others talked about A Han's injury again. Although they didn't mean to curse him, everyone's views were surprisingly consistent—
A Han is most likely tainted.
And not including A Han, the Fox Clan has already had 5 males die from being tainted by the Filth Beast in the past two months.
Seeing that everyone's mood was low, Xiao Jinyue took the initiative to start the topic and asked them about the wild beasts in the mountain forest outside the tribe.
For example, the number, strength, etc.
"We are in a place that is a bit outside of Yun Gui Mountain, the danger is not that high, and small hunts usually only get minor injuries at most. Great Hunts require going deep into the mountain forest, so the danger is higher, and we often encounter Filth Beasts during Great Hunts," Ni Duo explained to her.
“Yes, Jin Yue, you just came, and your healing power is low, don't go out of the tribe alone, that's too dangerous.”
“That's right, if something happens, call your Beast Husbands... but their strength... forget it, you'd better not go out!”
Xiao Jinyue: ...
She was a little helpless, but still nodded, "I know."
Ni Duo looked at her a few more times and suddenly said, "I think you are quite good, although your physical strength is not as good as Ruo Xia, but you are practical."
Another female Beastman also nodded, agreeing with Ni Duo's words, "Yes, I just found out, she is very serious in doing things, unlike Su Ruoxia who only knows how to be lazy, and also looks down on us."
"Lazy?" Xiao Jinyue was puzzled.
“Isn't it! She either finds excuses to avoid work, or just does it haphazardly, in fact, the efficiency is very low, not even half of mine!”
