Besides the legitimate pesticides sold outside, they also have traditional, homemade pesticides.

Some poisonous plants can poison not only humans, but also animals such as insects.

Spring Thunder Egg can cause skin ulcers when applied directly to the skin; I wonder if they would be effective as pesticides to kill pests?

Without further ado, Jian Mo took a few Spring Thunder Egg, smashed them with stones, soaked them in water, and then sprinkled them on the plants in the field.

If the Spring Thunder Egg can kill pests, the leaves will become clean in a couple of days.

He only selected a few crops for his experiment; the scope was very small.

The homemade pesticide made from Spring Thunder Egg showed no effect on the first day, as there were still insects on the crop leaves. On the second day, the leaves looked cleaner, and by the third day, the pests had completely disappeared.

It seems that the poisonous substance known as "Spring Thunder Egg" can indeed be used as a pesticide!

Jian Mo was delighted and carefully observed the crops.

With fewer pests, the leaves grew vigorously again, especially the newly grown leaf buds, which were plump and thick, and in excellent condition.

Jian Mo said happily to Wu Jiong, "It really works."

Wu Jiong: "Let's dig up more Spring Thunder Egg."

Jian Mo immediately said, "Let's get Qing Kuo and the others to dig together, and let everyone use this pesticide to prevent the pests from spreading to each other."

Wu Jiong had no objections whatsoever. "I think it's fine."

Jian Mo: "I'll go tell them right now!"

Jian Mo went to tell Qing Kuo and the others, and everyone was quite interested, so they agreed to go dig for Spring Thunder Egg together.

It's the season for Spring Thunder Egg to grow, and there are many Spring Thunder Egg outside. They searched for a few days and dug up a large pile.

After digging up the Spring Thunder Egg, everyone immediately crushed them, mixed them with water, and made them into a traditional pesticide, which they then applied to the fields.

With pesticides, the number of insects decreased significantly in both individual fields and those in the village, and the crops grew taller and stronger.

It's possible that the crops they grow are domesticated from wild plants, which are used to various harsh growing environments. Now that they have been transplanted into fields by humans, with ample water, fertilizer, and sunlight, they seize the opportunity to grow vigorously and grow very well.

Jian Mo looked at the crops in the field, and a sense of accomplishment welled up inside her.

Spring Thunder Egg are poisonous, Jian Mo specifically told the cubs not to go near them for the time being.

After saying that, Jian Mo worried, so he repeated it to the parents and also had Wu Jiong tell the patrolling orcs.

Seeing how much he valued it, everyone also gave the little ones a lot of advice.

The little ones knew the gravity of the situation and obediently agreed.

Fortunately, the cubs had previously caught batches of animals that were causing trouble in the fields, and now the animals in the vicinity have been almost completely wiped out, so they dare not cause any more damage in the fields.

It's okay if they don't go for now.

As the weather gets warmer, there is more interaction between tribes.

When people from other tribes visit their tribe, people from their tribe will also visit other tribes to interact.

That day, Qing Kuo and the others returned from the Mengshui Tribe and came to visit Jian Mo, saying, "A very powerful shaman has come to the Mengshui Tribe. He says he wants to communicate with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

This was the first time Jian Mo had heard the term "witch doctor" in everyday life, and she made sure to confirm. "You mean the kind of witch doctor who can act as a priest?"

Qing Kuo, somewhat puzzled, "Could there be other witch doctors?"

Jian Mo quickly waved her hand. "No, it's just that I've never heard of witch doctors before, so I'm a little curious."

Qing Kuo nodded understandingly. "We rarely have witch doctors come here, but that witch doctor is quite skilled and seems alright. If you're interested, let him come; if not, just decline."

Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "I think it's a good idea. Shall we go to the Mengshui Tribe to find him?"

Since arriving here, Jian Mo has not met any of her peers. There are only a few individuals who have ancestral methods to treat certain diseases, but as for a medical system, there is none at all.

I don't know what the situation is like with witch doctors; it would be great to learn a little about it.

Upon hearing this, Qing Kuo said, "I'll send someone to deliver a message tomorrow, asking the witch doctor to come over here."

Jian Mo hesitated. "Is it safe to bring the witch doctor to the tribe? There are so many children in the tribe—"

Jian Mo had never met a proper witch doctor before, but the word "witch" in the name instilled a sense of awe in him. Now that he had transmigrated, he was genuinely afraid of these supernatural beings.

Seeing the expression on his face, Qing Kuo laughed and said, "Witch doctors are human too, don't be nervous. If anything really happens, the chieftain can just swat it with his claws, and there won't be any trouble afterwards."

Jian Mo smiled sheepishly, "Mainly because I've never met him before."

After the Riverside Tribe sent someone to deliver the message, the shaman arrived the very next day, travel-worn and exhausted.

This was an old orc man with a face full of wrinkles, but he looked very energetic and had a kind expression.

Witch doctors are usually orcs. Orc witch doctors are a bit strange, but the orc world is so big that if some tribes prefer to have orcs as witch doctors, it's not anything special.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong entertained the witch doctor at their home.

Upon seeing Jian Mo, the witch doctor Lian Ke excitedly exclaimed, "I've heard of you for a long time, and it's great to finally meet you today!"

This seems to be an outgoing witch doctor. Jian Mo smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to our Riverside Tribe."

Lian Ke nodded, then asked impatiently, "Doctor Jian Mo, I heard that you treat illnesses using herbs and knives, and not much Shamanic Power?"

Jian Mo was puzzled about what Shamanic Power was, but she nodded nonetheless. "It is indeed used relatively rarely."

Lian Ke: "If we don't use Shamanic Power, then what will we use to cure diseases?"

"Just use ordinary medicinal herbs." Jian Mo changed the subject. "We don't have much related to Shamanic Power here. Do you have more where you are?"

Lian Ke brought the large backpack lying beside him to the front. "Wow, so much stuff! I even collected a lot of things rich in Shamanic Power on this trip, look—"

Lian Ke spoke, he took out various bones, insects, tree bark, and animal teeth, scattering them haphazardly on the ground and proudly showing them to Jian Mo.
