In the spread-out beast hide scroll, Shen Can saw an image of the plague insects, semi-transparent throughout with small transparent sacs containing plague liquid.
This is just the most common type of plague insect.
In the orally transmitted tales of the Blazing Flame Tribe, it is said that there are also wild beast plague insects.
These are enormous wild beasts that directly become the mother bodies of the plague insects, controlled by countless plague insects, roaming the mountains and fields.
Where they pass, water sources and soil become contaminated.
Legend has it that the Human Race even sacrificed to such wild beast plague insects.
Unfortunately, the more they sacrificed, the worse it got.
The Blazing Flame Tribe has been drinking water from vertical wells dug down within the mountain, and even the water brought up is filtered through fine sand and plant ash.
These things have existed for a long time.
Moreover, the water drawn is boiled before drinking.
