Chapter 460: Chapter 344: Detoxification Pill

Of course, don’t forget to remind Mael Valerius to wear a mask.

Mael Valerius looked at the mask in his hand, though he was not used to wearing such things, but to prevent the epidemic, he obediently put it on.

After saying a few words to her, he went door-to-door distributing burlap masks.

Luna Sutton herself put on a mask, just as she was about to check on Mason Sutton, she noticed the large wooden barrel behind the screen in the room.

Instantly, she remembered the Phoenix Egg and Dragon Egg were still incubating inside.

She quickly walked to the wooden barrel.

She saw three Phoenix Eggs and two Dragon Eggs quietly lying in the Holy Spring, enveloped by countless Spiritual Energy and life force, with a faint glow flowing on the eggshells.

Even just by looking, one could feel the burgeoning life inside.

Should be hatching soon, right?

Her expression was filled with anticipation, thinking of the epidemic outbreak, the chaos outside; whether it was good or bad for them to hatch at this time was uncertain.

To be on the safe side, she took the entire wooden barrel and Holy Spring water into the space.

Of course, the Dragon Eggs and Phoenix Eggs were also taken inside.

The space isolates everything from the outside, so it’s safer inside.

Thinking about this, she turned around and left.

Better check on father and brother first.

Mason Sutton and father Lyle Sutton lived together, located in the largest blue-brick tile house on the tribe’s east side, not far away, just a few steps away.

Even though it was a short distance, as she walked over, she found the entire tribe was chaotic, with cries and moans resounding continuously.

Corbin Crowley had somehow put on a burlap mask and was leading the tribe’s Beastmen to move the infected patients out, nobody knew where they were being moved to.

Luna Sutton quickly walked over, grasping Corbin Crowley, “Where do you plan to move the patients?”

“There are several vacant caves at the foot of the western mountain, temporarily isolating them there.”

Corbin Crowley answered in a deep voice, his silver eyes looking at her, “I’ve already arranged for Beastmen to clean up over there, soon we can move people there.”

She slightly nodded, conveying some precautions, then went to Lyle Sutton’s place.

In the courtyard, she didn’t see other Beastmen, clearly they were all ordered to stay home, not allowed to come out.

However, the courtyard was filled with a heavy medicinal smell, clearly medicine was being boiled.

She crossed the courtyard into the main room, heading straight to Mason Sutton’s room,

The room was dimly lit, with only a torch in the corner, making it visible but not very bright.

She instantly saw Mason Sutton lying in bed, face pale, dark circles under his eyes, large red rashes covering his face, hands, and exposed skin.

He was bent over the bedside, occasionally vomiting.

On the floor by the bed was a wooden basin filled with everything Mason Sutton had vomited out.

The witch doctor stood beside, holding a slender Bone Needle, tried several times to administer to Mason Sutton but couldn’t.

Primarily because Mason Sutton would occasionally sit up to vomit, or shortly after would run to the bathroom.

In just a short while, he had rushed three to four times.

He was also feverish, which was really troublesome.

Lyle Sutton was anxious and stressed, worrying about his son while having to manage the epidemic situation.

Fortunately, his daughter and several sons-in-law were helpful, they had arranged everything that needed to be done, saving him a lot of trouble.

He had just listened to Finn Arcanus’ report, turned around and saw a masked female come in.

Still wondering who it was, upon closer look, realized it was his own daughter, his expression instantly changed.

“Luna, it’s dangerous here, why did you come here, hurry back.”

He admonished with a stern face, noticed the mask on her face, and puzzled, “What is this thing on your face? Why are you wearing it?”

“This is a mask, it can prevent infection, where are your masks? Didn’t Mael Valerius give them to you?”

Luna Sutton explained blandly, noticed they weren’t wearing masks, couldn’t help asking.

Lyle Sutton didn’t know anything about masks, Mael Valerius was distributing masks family by family, hadn’t reached here yet.

He was about to ask about the mask.

When a Beastman came running in with several masks, “Leader, Mael Valerius asked me to give these to you, said it prevents infection, everyone must wear one.”

Lyle Sutton took those masks, examined this curious thing closely, “This is a mask?”

She slightly nodded, picked up a mask to demonstrate: “Father, wear it like me, hang the two straps over your ears, covering your nose and mouth.”

As she spoke, she helped Lyle Sutton put it on, “Remember not to touch the inside of the mask with your hand, if it’s contaminated with droplets, replace it immediately.”

The witch doctor also came over to learn how to wear it, amazed, “This method is clever.”

Luna Sutton didn’t see the Priest in the room, couldn’t help but ask: “Father, where’s Master? Why haven’t I seen him, is he alright?”

“The old man went up the mountain overnight to pick herbs, hasn’t returned yet.”

Lyle Sutton casually replied, his gaze couldn’t help but return to Mason Sutton on the bed, “Your brother’s condition, the medicine goes in and comes right out, can’t even administer the Bone Needle, it’s really distressing.”

The witch doctor looked very grave, “This symptom resembles the epidemic thirty years ago, we don’t know the source yet.”

Luna Sutton frowned slightly, “It was Caleb Manning, many Beastmen chased him, but he fought back and killed them. Those bodies piled up and rotted, plus vultures pecked and ate, flying everywhere, spreading the virus and epidemic.”

She briefly explained the source of the plague as told by the system.

Although the witch doctor didn’t pay much attention to the outside world, he was aware of the chaos in the Winged Tiger Tribe, where Caleb Manning killed the tribe’s leader and many beastmen.

The specific reason wasn’t very clear; it seemed to be because that female named Chloe Callahan died.

Caleb Manning went mad seeking revenge, and it was heard that he not only killed the beastmen of the Winged Tiger Tribe but also those of other tribes.

This led to several tribes joining forces to hunt him down.

The witch doctor didn’t know what happened afterward.

Lyle Sutton also knew a bit about the situation. He privately discussed it with the priest and witch doctors, thinking Caleb was quite foolish.

To put himself in such a position for a dead female was really not worth it.

However, they never expected the source of this plague to be those piled-up corpses.

Lyle Sutton’s face darkened, “Let’s not talk about this now. Let’s find a way to solve this plague and save your brother and those infected clansmen.”

Luna Sutton walked to the bedside and began using her abilities to check on Mason Sutton, although there wasn’t much to check.

A plague is a virus, and in such cases, detoxification is naturally required.

However, this virus was quite resilient, and she needed to find the corresponding antidote.

Although she had the Wood Element Ability and had reached the eighth level, the ability wasn’t omnipotent.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been bitten to death by zombies in the apocalypse.

Of course, the ability could also assist with drug treatment, doubling the effect by working in tandem.

“Witch doctor, what medicine did you prescribe for my brother before? Let me see it.”

She turned her head and asked the witch doctor.

The witch doctor quickly handed her the prescription written on animal hide.

Luna Sutton glanced at it; it was all herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying, enhancing constitution, and stopping vomiting and diarrhea.

She didn’t know if it would work against the plague because she didn’t really understand traditional medicine, only grasping the basics.

She knew the effects of those herbs and what they treated.

She glanced at it then handed it back to the witch doctor, beginning to detoxify Mason Sutton with her ability.

Though it couldn’t be completely cured, it could make him feel a bit better.

The Wood Element Ability flowed through Mason Sutton’s meridians, and the rash under his skin faded at a visibly noticeable speed.

It was clear that the Wood Element Ability was taking effect.

The witch doctor was stunned watching from the side; he had also treated Mason Sutton with his ability, but the effect was far inferior to the girl’s.

“Detoxification with ability.”

Luna Sutton lightly explained, “But it treats the symptoms, not the root cause.”

Just as she said that, Mason Sutton suddenly started coughing violently, one after another, unable to stop.

It felt as if he was going to cough his lungs out.

“This plague is indeed overbearing.”

The witch doctor quickly held a wooden basin to catch the phlegm Mason Sutton coughed up.

At this moment, a voice from the system suddenly sounded in Luna Sutton’s mind, “Host, don’t you have a Detoxification Pill in your system backpack? It can neutralize all poisons.”

Her eyes instantly brightened, nearly forgetting about it since she had so many items in her backpack that she couldn’t remember what was there, not usually having reason to go through it.

She pretended to search her bosom, but in reality, she retrieved the entirely emerald-colored Detoxification Pill from her system backpack.

She was just about to feed it to Mason Sutton.

Suddenly, she remembered that there were many infected beastmen and females in the tribe, so she paused.

“Father, go bring a bucket of clean water.”

She turned to Lyle Sutton and said, “I have a solution.”

Although Lyle Sutton was puzzled, he immediately instructed the beastmen to carry in a large bucket of clean water.

A giant wooden bucket, carried in by two beastmen.

Once the clean water was placed down, they stepped aside.

She glanced at it, walked over, and crushed the Detoxification Pill, sprinkling it into the water where it quickly dissolved.

“System, will this dilution be effective? Will it be unable to save anyone?”

She was a bit worried, couldn’t help but ask the system.

“Of course, it’s effective.”

The system responded instantly, “Although the effect is not as strong as taking the entire pill, it’s sufficient to alleviate symptoms. Each person has a bowl of it three days in a row, and they will be cured.”

Listening to the system’s words, she immediately felt more at ease, quickly found a ceramic bowl, scooped out a bowlful, and handed it to Mason Sutton, “Brother, drink it quickly, I put a Detoxification Pill in the water, it can cure you.”

Mason Sutton propped himself up to sit, drank the entire bowl dry.

Luna Sutton gave him two more bowls, Mason Sutton’s complexion visibly improved, and he stopped vomiting and continued purging.

The temperature of his body was also gradually receding, appearing noticeably more normal.
