Dengue fever is a type of malaria caused by mosquito bites, and people who lack antibodies to mosquito viruses are very susceptible to various complications caused by the bacteria they carry.
In ancient times, the death rate from such an infectious plague was very high.
Bai Junjun examined several patients and found they all exhibited similar symptoms, but they seemed either unaware of the severity or powerless to do anything about it.
They were essentially lying flat in the face of this malaria, without even the basic isolation measures in place.
Without delay, Bai Junjun took out the Water of Flora from her Space and prepared to dilute it for everyone to drink.
The Clan Leader, upon seeing the expression on the Celestial God, knew the situation was serious.
With Ermao’s help, he learned that the Celestial God needed a large amount of water and led her to the water tank.
Bai Junjun was dumbfounded at the sight: the water was so turbid, it was the drink-and-die type.
Seeing her frown, the Clan Leader reached in, scooped up a handful, and put it in his mouth to show that it was drinkable.
Bai Junjun was speechless; that they dared to drink such turbid water.
Even if they could be saved from malaria, wouldn’t they still succumb to dysentery or typhoid?
No wonder the average life expectancy in ancient times was only 40 years; living such a raw and bloody lifestyle, their lifespan was likely even shorter.
Bai Junjun helplessly glanced at Li Wenli.
The Fox instantly understood and began to manipulate the water, removing the excess impurities.
The water in the tank visibly cleared up.
Only then did Bai Junjun add the Water of Flora to the water.
Afterwards, she ordered everyone to drink it.
With an order from the Celestial God, naturally, no one dared to disobey.
After everyone had finished drinking, Bai Junjun then returned to Ermao’s treehouse.
However, after just a couple of steps, she saw several people carrying a bloody deer running towards them, and then they placed it directly in front of them, clearly as a gift.
Soon, others also brought various offerings, all kinds of birds and beasts, one after another.
Although there was a language barrier, it did not prevent them from expressing their reverence for the Celestial God.
Bai Junjun did not expect such courteous gestures from these people, she told them to just leave the offerings there and went to look around by herself.
The Clan Leader followed behind, only half understanding.
As Bai Junjun truly began to inspect, she discovered just how poor the living conditions of the Wild People were.
Although they had boilers and knew how to use fire, it seemed they had little taste for gourmet food.
Moreover, after a short walk, she smelled a foul odor and upon close inspection, the wilderness was full of their droppings.
Seeing these dried droppings swarming with flies, Bai Junjun quickly retreated.
These people...eating and defecating in the same place, completely unhygienic, aren’t they?
Initially, she had planned to explore the Wild People’s living environment, but after just a few steps, she gave up and returned.
Forget it, forget it; venturing further in might just be a horrifying experience.
Bai Junjun decisively gave up and went to see Ermao’s mother instead.
Upon their return, they saw that the child’s mother had awakened, her husband and child joyously making a hubbub.
At the same time, wailing noises came from other places as well.
Bai Junjun knew that the Immortal Water had taken effect.
The Water of Flora was miraculous medicine, and a mere case of dengue fever was no big deal.
However, in the eyes of the Clan Leader, it wasn’t the same; every summer and autumn, half the tribe would be decimated by this disease, undoubtedly the greatest specter of death looming over the Fire-Swallowing Tribe.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial God effortlessly toppled the specter of death.
The Clan Leader once again led the people in bowing to Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, while a cacophony of chattering ensued.
At this moment, the woman in the treehouse also struggled up and knelt down before Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.
