Chapter 313
Seeing the poisonous mushroom incident about to be simply exposed like that, Ye Duo was unwilling.
Her gloomy gaze instantly swept toward the female nearby; seeing that, the female's body trembled.
Biting her lip, she hesitated for a long time, a flash of resolve crossing her eyes; she then seized the moment when no one was looking, rushed forward, grabbed a brightly colored mushroom, and chewed and swallowed it.
Wu Yue's face changed dramatically upon seeing that: 'That mushroom is poisonous.'
The shaman who had been coldly observing for a long time snorted: 'Seize her.'
The two half-beast warriors standing behind Wu Yue, upon hearing that, immediately stepped forward and subdued the female.
But at this moment, the female's face had already begun to turn deathly pale.
Wu Yue glanced around the cave, saw the wooden bucket placed in the corner, her eyes lit up, walked over and picked up the bucket.
The shaman's expression shifted slightly; he was about to say something, but seeing Wu Yue carry the bucket to the female's front, he looked at the half-beast warrior beside him and said, 'I'm going to give her water.'
Upon hearing that, the half-beast warrior skillfully pulled the female's hair downward and pinched her nose.
The other half-beast warrior, with one hand, restrained the female and pried open her mouth.
Unable to breathe, the female could only open her mouth and gulp down the familiar yet strange-tasting liquid, glug-glug; after drinking half the bucket, she began to struggle violently.
Wu Yue signaled the two half-beast warriors to stop restraining her.
Sure enough, the female began to vomit, sticking her fingers down her throat.
The shaman's expression changed: 'Take her out.'
Upon hearing that, the two half-beast warriors immediately grabbed the female and walked out.
Watching her being hauled away while still trying to vomit, Wu Yue couldn't help but snort coldly; just moments ago she had seemed ready to die, but in fact she was terrified.
The cave fell silent; Ye Duo beside her looked gloomily at Wu Yue… and the bucket in her hand, secretly resentful.
Why would the shaman's cave have a wooden bucket!
The vomiting sounds outside the cave never ceased, and the faces of everyone inside were not looking good.
The shaman looked at Wu Yue: 'Can you be sure those mushrooms are edible?'
Wu Yue turned her head to glance at Ye Duo: 'The mushrooms I picked are definitely fine; as for whether others would deliberately eat poisonous mushrooms, I don't know.'
Ye Duo snorted coldly: 'Only someone with a brain problem would deliberately eat poisonous mushrooms.'
Wu Yue gave a meaningful glance toward the cave exterior: 'There are still plenty of people with brain problems.'
Ye Duo gave a cold snort and hid behind the male, saying nothing.
The shaman glanced at Ye Duo, a flicker of disappointment crossing his eyes; he had originally hoped to have more shamans in the Snow Tiger Tribe, which would strengthen the tribe's power.
But now it seems this Ye Duo, whose brain appears to have been addled by something, is nothing but a drag.
She can't accomplish anything proper, yet excels at causing trouble; moreover, as an unmated young female, she's incredibly lustful!
Meanwhile, the Snow Tiger shaman was pondering tribal affairs; outside the cave, the female had stopped vomiting and was dragged in by the two half-beast warriors.
They also brought in some vomit, and the cave instantly acquired an odor.
The thing she had just eaten hadn't been digested yet; the brightly colored mushroom had only been chewed a few times by the female before being swallowed, retaining its basic intact shape and color.
Wu Yue was about to speak when the female, who had just been dragged along like a dead dog, saw her and sprang up: 'You damned female, why did you make me drink urine!'
Seeing her somewhat ferocious face, Wu Yue's expression instantly stiffened; she turned her head to look at the wooden bucket she had just been holding: '…'
So, shaman, you're really trendy these days? Even using a chamber pot?
No wonder your expression was so strange when I just picked up that wooden bucket; the reason lies here.
Wu Yue looked at her own hands; they were hands that smelled.
The Snow Tiger shaman beside her also felt embarrassed, cleared his throat twice, and changed the subject: 'Wu Yue, are you willing to teach the tribe your method of selecting mushrooms?'
Wu Yue nodded: 'Of course I'm willing, but I hope that in the future, if such incidents of self-poisoning by eating toxic mushrooms occur, they won't come to me.'
The shaman snorted coldly: 'If this happens again, I'll make sure she never gets a chance to see the Beast God.'
Here, the tribe's births and deaths require rituals; without the shaman's rites, the deceased cannot return to the Beast God's side.
Therefore, whoever it is, pays great attention to this.
The female who had just been shouting instantly went limp on the ground; looking at the shaman's icy eyes, she felt cold to the marrow.
She hurriedly crawled to the shaman's feet, prostrating herself fully and said: 'Shaman, my mate and I are merely pure humans; our child fell ill, and we knew we couldn't ask you to heal the child, so we sought out Ye Duo.'
But Ye Duo said she would only heal my child if I ate the poisonous mushroom; please forgive me, I will never dare again.
Just a minor threat, and the female readily gave up Ye Duo.
Wu Yue felt utterly delighted; her glance toward Ye Duo was beyond smug.
This petty triumph made Ye Duo feel like she could be knocked over, but at this point she could barely protect herself, with no spare attention for Wu Yue.
She crawled out from behind the male, imitating the female's earlier posture as she knelt before the shaman: 'Shaman... I... I only did this because I felt uneasy inside; I am clearly your disciple, yet you always entrust important matters to Wu Yue.'
It's my fault; please spare me.
The Snow Tiger shaman gazed coldly at this disciple whom he had once placed high hopes in; his disappointment was inevitable.
But it was merely disappointment: 'From now on, just be an ordinary member of the Snow Tiger Tribe.'
A casual remark like that directly stripped Ye Duo of her shaman-disciple status.
Ye Duo, who had expected a reprimand, incredulously lifted her head and looked at the shaman who used to earnestly teach her many cultivation methods.
'Will I no longer be a shaman disciple from now on?' she murmured, her expression somewhat dazed.
The Snow Tiger shaman said coldly: 'To become a shaman capable of leading the Snow Tiger Tribe further ahead, you fall far short.'
Having said that, he lifted his gaze to the two half-beast warriors.
The two of them walked straight forward, dragging out the female from earlier and Ye Duo, also taking along that mass of vomit.
Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, took the mushrooms from her back basket and placed them before the shaman and the chieftain: 'These are the edible mushrooms we three discovered yesterday while gathering; there are many poisonous mushrooms in the forest, so we must distinguish them carefully.'
