Chapter 174 First Signs of Talent (Bonus Chapter)
Many people began to believe Su Luoluo because of what she said.

Because Su Luoluo's description perfectly matched what A Dong and A Xi looked like before they died.

"I believe what Lolo said too. Chief, let's do as Lolo says!"

"Yes, it sounds pretty scary, but let's do it that way, Chief."

Suddenly the winds shifted again, but only A-Dong and A-Xi's mother and father still disagreed, clinging tightly to their children.

"No, don't touch them."

"If you don't agree to let us stay in the tribe, we'll leave on our own."

As they spoke, the four of them picked up their children and prepared to leave.

Su Yang naturally couldn't let them leave so easily. They were all part of the tribe, and as the leader, how could he drive them away so readily?

He stopped the four of them and looked at Su Luoluo, asking, "We've never heard of this plague before. How do you know about it?"

Su Luoluo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She had been so focused on explaining the situation that she had forgotten how to cover it up.

The plague is the lowest level of viral spread among zombies. She had been infected when she first started doing missions, so she was very familiar with this virus.

In order to pass the test smoothly, she crammed a lot of knowledge about plagues, from ancient times to the present, including all kinds of types and symptoms, because she had to pass this test if she wanted to go on missions again.

Not only Su Yang found this strange, but the other orcs in the tribe, including Su Luoluo's several beastmen husbands, also had the same question.

If Xi Yi hadn't come, Su Luoluo felt that the problem at hand would be very easy to solve. She could simply push the blame onto her foster mother, the black bear, and say that their tribe had experienced such a plague before.

But now that Xi Yi is here, she can't say those words.

She thought for a moment and said, "I've seen it elsewhere."

"Otherwhere? What place? Why would you go there for no reason?" Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"I don't know where that is either."

“When the beastmen ignored me before, I went out for a walk to clear my head, and that’s when I saw it.”

When the original owner had a disagreement with her beast husbands, she would run away from home, which was common knowledge in the tribe. However, she would always come back after running away for a while, so no one in the tribe took it seriously.

Su Yang remembered that Su Luoluo liked to run away from home, but he didn't want to pay attention to her at the time. After all, she would sometimes run away from home twice in three days, and she would always come back after a short time.

Even so, the fact that he didn't go to find her as a father means he failed in his responsibilities as a father.

He coughed lightly twice, somewhat embarrassed, and then said to A-Dong and A-Xi's parents:
"This wasn't something I did on purpose. You all heard it too. If Ah Dong and Ah Xi hadn't stopped burning them, everyone in the village would have been infected and would have died."

After the fire has burned out, I will offer Ah Dong and Ah Xi as offerings before the sacred fire, so that the gods can see them day and night, what do you think?

Not everyone is qualified to be enshrined before the sacred flame. Su Yang's words were a huge relief, and the four of them calmed down upon hearing this, nodding in agreement.

Suddenly his body began to twitch uncontrollably, followed by spasms, and then a mouthful of blood spurted from his throat, causing him to collapse to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the four people who were just alive were now lying on the ground, dead.

The onlookers were instantly terrified and retreated, their faces filled with fear.

Su Yang was close by, but Su Luoluo pulled him away.

Now the people in the tribe had no objections to what Su Luoluo said and believed her without a doubt. Someone asked Su Luoluo in a trembling voice, "Will everything be alright if we burn them?"

After all, they were so close just now, they might have been infected by now.

"Since everyone hasn't had any overly close physical contact with them, there shouldn't be any problem. I'll get some medicine for everyone later as a precaution," Su Luoluo replied calmly.

These words reassured everyone considerably.

Suddenly, two corpses became six, and the tribe was filled with fear; no one dared to come forward to help.

Su Yang could only glance at Su Luoluo's beastmen. Their fifth-level beast transformation made them more defensive than ordinary beastmen, so it was relatively safer to have them do the work.

Luan Ting, Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and Nan Tu did not refuse and stepped forward to lend a hand.

Fu Feng, who is a bit of a germaphobe, found it hard to accept, but seeing Su Luoluo beside him, he gritted his teeth and went anyway.

Xi Yi then joined in the effort.

The cremation site was chosen according to Su Luoluo's suggestion, a certain distance from the tribe's residence, not near a water source, and with no other animals passing by.

After Su Yang lit the torch, everyone in the tribe solemnly bid farewell to the six people.

Afterwards, Su Yang wanted to collect the ashes, but Su Luoluo stopped him: "Father, we need to wait a little longer. If there are no problems in a few days, we can collect them. Otherwise, you are also very likely to be infected."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang abandoned the idea and ordered people to cover the ashes with animal hides.

After finishing his work, Xiao Ye looked at Su Luoluo and said, "Are you alright? Do you want to rest for a while? I'll go find a witch doctor to take a look at you."

She went through that dangerous situation, and she's pregnant. Xiao Ye was terrified watching her.

Su Luoluo shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't forget I have wood-type abilities. This bit of plague can't hurt me."

Seeing that Su Luoluo looked normal, Xiao Ye didn't say anything more.

However, he secretly observed her for a long time afterward, and only after confirming that she was really alright did he feel completely relieved.

Although Adong and Axi's bodies have been cremated, this does not mean that the tribe is safe.

Su Luoluo found some mugwort in the wild and showed it to the people in the tribe, asking them to find some of the same mugwort and burn it to disinfect her house.

Although the people in the tribe had never seen these things before, they believed Su Luoluo's words and did as she said.

Although the beastmen in Fufeng were of high level and possessed certain self-healing abilities, they still found some mugwort to fumigate their bellies, considering that Su Luoluo was pregnant.

A pregnant woman is physically weaker than a normal woman, and this is something that cannot be taken lightly.

Besides taking preventative measures like fumigating with moxa, Su Luoluo's biggest worry was that the plague had already spread among the population.

Therefore, she advised everyone in the tribe to stay home as little as possible for a few days, and only go out after confirming that there were no problems.

Lan Ya became dissatisfied when she heard that Su Luoluo wouldn't let her go out.

Why should an elderly woman like her take orders from her daughter?

After leaving the tribe, Su Nuannuan was depressed for a while, feeling that she had misjudged him.
