Wu Yue nodded. "When I focus my witch power into my eyes, I can see what those insects look like. They’re soft-bodied, like the bloodsucking worms in our ponds.

But its mouth is filled with fine, sharp teeth. It looks terrifying."

The two witches shook their heads, indicating they had never seen such an insect.

"When a Worm Witch controls the Poisonous Insects, what’s their range?"

A deep beastman’s voice suddenly cut in.

The few people inside the cave looked toward the voice and saw Yuan Lang, who had just gotten up from his bed of straw.

The Snow Tiger Witch narrowed her eyes. "I only know one Worm Witch. Her witch power is comparable to ours. Although a Worm Witch’s weapons are insects, she still needs to use witch power to control them, so..."

"So the distance they can control the insects definitely can’t be greater than the area of a tribe," the Flying Eagle Witch finished, his expression grim.

He then turned to Wu Yue. "You said you can see those insects?"

Wu Yue nodded. "It must be related to my witch power."

The Flying Eagle Witch pressed on, "Is there any way to catch them?"

"No," Yuan Lang answered flatly before Wu Yue could even speak.

"Those insects already want to feed on Yue’s witch power. If we let her try to catch them, wouldn’t that just be serving them a meal?"

The Snow Tiger Witch spoke up immediately. "I also disagree with having Yue try to catch those insects. The two of us were near them for so long and weren’t attacked at all.

But they attacked her the moment they sensed her witch power. You’re thinking about this too simply."

The Flying Eagle Witch nodded silently. He had just been too hasty.

Just then, the Blue Fatty in Wu Yue’s arms stirred and spoke, "Host, I’ve found it..."

Wu Yue’s eyes lit up. "What is it?"

’After all, the formulas for various potions were usually very complex.’

But unexpectedly, the System stated bluntly, "Just soak chili peppers in water and spray it on the eagle eggs. Also, these Poisonous Insects only become visible when they die."

Wu Yue’s lip twitched. "That’s it?"

The System opened its beady black eyes. "Yup! That’s it..."

Wu Yue looked up at the Snow Tiger Witch. "Do you have any insect-repelling herbs here?"

Hearing this, the Snow Tiger Witch’s eyes brightened. She retrieved a large bundle from a nearby corner and took out several herbs, one of which bore red, finger-length fruits.

Wu Yue recognized them at a glance—chili peppers.

"These are the insect-repelling herbs I usually keep in the cave."

Wu Yue looked to Yuan Lang at her side. "Let’s get some water in a stone pot. We’ll soak these herbs one by one and see which one can kill these insects."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Tiger Witch immediately called for the Half beastman Warriors outside. A moment later, several members of the tribe walked in, each carrying a stone pot.

Wu Yue crushed the herbs in her hands and steeped them in the water. She also deliberately flicked the chili-infused water from her fingers onto a few of the Poisonous Insects squirming on the ground. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The other Poisonous Insects quickly scrambled away, but one of them opened its large, fang-filled mouth and charged toward Wu Yue with a roar.

Wu Yue felt her scalp tighten. ’This thing’s appearance is genuinely terrifying.’

However, just as the Poisonous Insect reached her, it was knocked back by an invisible shield.

After letting out a silent screech, its tooth-filled mouth opened and closed a few times before it finally crawled reluctantly toward the three eagle eggs.
