Chapter 332: The Saliva-Dripping Tempting Aroma

Wu Yue seemed to think of something, she pinched off a bit of horned beast egg, hesitated a moment, then still stuffed it into her mouth.

The next moment, her eyes widened instantly, she stared in disbelief at the pale yellow thing in her hand.

"Tongzi, this thing isn't what I think it is, is it?"

Tongzi struggled out of the basket, only revealing a fist-sized little head, his fuzzy face serious: "Exactly what you're thinking."

"No, I want to try it myself."

Afterwards she put on a very ingratiating smile and looked at Lan Pangzi: "Hey, could you get a fire going?"

Tongzi's fur bristled: "You want to light a fire here?"

Wu Yue rubbed her hands: "I really can't wait to know the answer, hurry hurry hurry!"

Tongzi furtively stretched out two little front paws: "Two points."

At this moment Wu Yue was especially agreeable, she immediately agreed: "No problem, just control the size of the flames a bit."

Having earned two little points, Tongzi was in high spirits, immediately nodding vigorously: "Of course, you can relax."

Wu Yue looked at little Tongzi with anticipation, but who knew this little guy would look disgusted and say: "Go find some firewood quick, otherwise if tribespeople see a flame spontaneously burning there, are you sure you want to claim it's your newly awakened ability?"

Wu Yue heard that, gave an embarrassed laugh: "Hehe, just a moment, just a moment."

Having said that, she quickly picked up some dry twigs, and also a stone slab she had washed clean.

She gathered a few stones to build a simple stove, then after Tongzi lit the fire, she placed the stone slab on top.

The water on the stone slab quickly dried, Wu Yue tore off a piece of horned beast egg, pinched it into a thin slice and placed it on the slab.

In just a moment, that pale yellow horned beast egg began to emit a familiar aroma, and its color darkened a bit.

After flipping that slice of horned beast egg and roasting it a while longer, Wu Yue swallowed, then took it off.

She carefully bit a small piece; the taste was familiar roasted aroma with a hint of sweetness, very delicious, a different texture from eating it raw safely before.

Wu Yue's gaze toward the clump of pale yellow stuff in the basket instantly sharpened.

"Hehe, I found flour…"

With this flour, what food problem does she still have to worry about?

Thinking of the foods that could be made from flour…

Buns, dumplings, noodles… slurp…

Beside her, Lan Pangzi looked at his fur soaked with someone's saliva and felt that the whole Tong was not good.

"Damn, you shameless host, let go of me, I'm about to drown in your saliva!"

The chubby little beast struggled while howling, Wu Yue found it funny, wiped her mouth dry, and fiercely ruffled its little head.

After a moment, Wu Yue roasted the whole piece of horned beast egg in the basket into a palm-sized flat cake.

Meanwhile Tongzi sat there with a messy little furry head like a bird's nest, wearing a hopeless expression.

After putting all the flat cakes in the basket, Wu Yue picked up Lan Pangzi, ruffled his unruly head: "Be good, I'll give you two mineral stones when we go back."

Tongzi snorted coldly: "Am I the kind of Tong who would lower his noble head for mineral stones?"

Wu Yue hehehed and held up four fingers: "Then I'll give you four, no more."

Upon hearing that, Tongzi's eyes lit up, the corner of his mouth showing a sparkling gleam: "Emma~so fragrant!"

Wu Yue's mouth twitched: "So where exactly is your noble head?"

Tongzi hummed, indicating it's noble everywhere.

When the person and the Tong returned with the ready flat cakes to the gathering team, the female members of the team had already begun resting and eating.

But most people were holding wild vegetable dumplings, only a few with better family conditions were eating fist-sized meat, drawing envious looks from everyone.

So, when Wu Yue came over carrying a basket of flat cakes emitting an enticing aroma, the females first unconsciously twitched their noses, then their eyes sparkled as they looked at her.

Flower Tree Granny was the first to approach: "Yue, what food did you bring today? Why is it so fragrant?"

Wu Yue hehehed, took down the basket and said: "Just made this food, was about to bring it over for everyone to try."

Having said that, she took out the flat cakes carefully wrapped in big leaves from the basket: "I made them small, one each is still fine."

Tongzi hummed on the side, "Just now they still had to haul over a few more horned beast eggs to have enough."

The surrounding females, hearing they'd get their own, hurriedly swarmed over, mainly because the aroma just now was truly too good.

Watching Wu Yue take out one palm-sized food after another from the big leaves, the females unabashedly swallowed their saliva.

After each person received a small flat cake, Wu Yue was about to eat happily satisfied, but lifting her head she was startled by everyone's gaze: "Why are you staring at me instead of eating your food?"

Holding up the flat cake, it looks like you're about to attack me.

Flower Tree Granny hehehed: "How do you eat this food? Just eat it directly?"

Wu Yue heard that and laughed: "Just eat it directly."

Having said that, she took the first bite, fragrant and chewy for a moment, then swallowed; the flat cake's sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, making her involuntarily narrow her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing her eat it so fragrant, the females also unconsciously raised their flat cakes and took a big bite; the crisp aroma made their eyes instantly sparkle, and the slowly filling sweet taste in their mouths made their gazes at the cakes glow green.

After Wu Yue finished eating her flat cake and even licked her fingers clean, she looked up to meet the females' gazes, now even more terrifying than before, as if they were about to swallow her whole right then.

Some weakly hugged themselves, Wu Yue gave a dry laugh: "Could it be that it's not tasty?"

Although she asked that, inside she was unwilling to believe it; such a delicious flat cake, surely it couldn't be a thousand times better than wild vegetable dumplings?

Why look at her with such terrifying eyes, baby's scared!

Flower Tree Granny reached out and rubbed her own somewhat distorted face from excitement, still bearing a somewhat fierce visage topped with a kindly smile: "Yue, what is this little cake made of? It's filling and delicious."

Wu Yue hehehed, quietly pointed at the pale yellow thing under their feet: "It's made from this."

Flower Tree Granny's expression cracked for a moment, she incredulously looked at the horned beast egg under her feet, then lifted her head to look at Wu Yue: "Can this thing be eaten?"

Wu Yue nodded seriously: "It can be eaten; soak it in water, then pinch it into thin slices, bake on the stone slab, and that's exactly the food everyone just ate."

The news of Wu Yue discovering a new food is no longer a secret in the tribe, especially since she is the noble shaman, everyone still trusts her words.

Upon hearing that the horned beast egg could really be used as food, Flower Tree Granny seemed to be ignited, she waved her hand and shouted, urging the anxious females to start gathering.

Because the gathering target this time was soft earth, the small baskets everyone carried on their backs could not hold many horned beast eggs if used to store them.

So, everyone once again took up their old trade, with some females gathering horned beast eggs and others collecting tree vines to weave vine bags.

Meanwhile, several other females in the gathering teams, seeing Flower Tree Grandma's gathering team as if they had taken some shamanic medicine, were excitedly picking up horned beast eggs there, all looking bewildered.

What the heck happened?

Wu Yue, meanwhile, divided the flatbread in another leaf packet among the slaves.

Having tasted such delicious food for the first time, the slaves were somewhat doubting life.

They chewed in small bites, afraid the delicacy in their hands would disappear.

Watching their cautious manner, Wu Yue laughed and cried, saying, "Hurry up and eat; this food is made from horned beast eggs."

After this, you don't need to gather soft earth anymore; just pick up all the horned beast eggs.'

Changye was the first to react upon hearing that, shoving the remaining half of his small flatbread into his mouth, then began organizing the slaves to start weaving vine nets and gathering.

At that moment, the other gathering teams also heard from Flower Tree Grandma that horned beast eggs could be made into very tasty food.

What Wu Yue didn't expect was that, besides Green Water Grandma, the first to support her was actually the female who had replaced Ye Duo A Mu as the new gathering team captain.

She had a simple, honest face with a touch of kindness, but Wu Yue had just seen that she was extremely strict toward females who slacked off and didn't gather properly.

"Yue, thank you for discovering another edible food for the tribe once again."

Having said that, she bowed deeply to Wu Yue.

Wu Yue, somewhat surprised, sidestepped to avoid it, and said embarrassedly, "You're being too polite; I'm also a member of the Snow Tiger Tribe, so doing this is only natural."

Flower Tree Grandma sneaked up, put an arm around the female's shoulder, and looked at Wu Yue saying, "Yue, it's fine for you to accept her bow; her child's life was saved by you."

Wu Yue looked bewildered: "What?"

When did she learn to ** do good deeds, and yet she doesn't even remember the person involved?

The female, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched her head: "My child is the half-beast warrior who, together with Shilin, was guarding Ye Duo last time; if it weren't for you, he would probably have already gone to see the Beast God."

Wu Yue wore a look of disillusionment, thinking of that big-headed, messy female, then glancing at the evidently somewhat cleaned-up grandma before her: "..."

How to put it? Suddenly I understood the difference between women wearing makeup and not wearing makeup.

"No need to thank me; if it weren't for those two half-beast warriors, the tribe wouldn't even know what might happen. As a shaman, healing the tribe's people is only natural."

Wu Yue's impassioned, righteous words moved the two grandmothers and the surrounding females deeply.

Indeed, compared to Wu Yue, Ye Duo really is just a poisonous mushroom.

Fortunately Wu Yue doesn't know what the females compare Ye Duo to; otherwise... otherwise we could only say their description is really vivid.

Several females in the gathering teams were bustling with enthusiasm, and the Snow Tiger clan chief in the tribe was also eagerly anticipating.

Since discovering several new foods, Wu Yue also hadn't gone out with the gathering teams for a long time, but...

The Snow Tiger clan chief let out a lecherous laugh; every time Wu Yue went out, good news came back—either new food or new herbs, and last time when she went to the Black Wolf Tribe she even discovered salt.

Hehe...

Such a precious female is still a shaman...

Suddenly, the Snow Tiger clan chief recalled the crystal core Wu Yue had handed over to enter the tribe, which was said to have been obtained when she went to meet the Beast God's father on a hunt.

But...

A certain clan chief stuffed his huge fist into his mouth and couldn't help but wail 'waaa waaa waaa'; that crystal core had long since been used up by the tribe's beast warriors.

"You're acting like a female, what are you wailing about here?"

The shaman came out of his mountain cave and saw that burly man over two meters tall, legs crossed, fist in his mouth, making a look of a wronged little female; he almost vomited up the wild vegetable dumplings he'd eaten last night.

Don't ask why he didn't vomit up the meat; it's simply because the meat is precious and he couldn't bear to waste it.

The Snow Tiger clan chief looked listlessly at the Snow Tiger shaman and said, "When Yue entered the tribe, she also handed over a ferocious beast crystal core."

The Snow Tiger shaman looked at him with contempt: "Just because of that, you're wailing here?"

"Yue was just an ordinary pure human back then; wanting to enter the tribe naturally meant following the rules."

Having said that, he flicked his lips in disdain and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, pathetic."

Having said that, he hummed an unknown tune and swayed into the mountain cave.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the gathering team looked at several vine bags filled to the brim with horned beast eggs, and all the females felt a great sense of accomplishment.

The listless sun trudged wearily toward home, and the gathering teams finally bore reluctant steps back to the tribe.

The Snow Tiger clan chief, who had long been waiting at the tribe's gate with eyes strained, saw their large vine bags and immediately called the males forward to help.

But after entering and seeing that familiar pale yellow object inside the vine bags, the whole person felt unwell.

So, was he mistaken in his affections?

What are the females doing with all these horned beast eggs?

But the enthusiastic females had no time to pay attention to the clan chief's little sorrow.

Each person took a horned beast egg and either soaked it in a stone bowl or in a wooden tub.

The surrounding males stared, big eyes at small eyes, all looking bewildered.

Shouldn't the first thing the females do upon returning to the tribe be to ask how much game they brought back today?

Suddenly, the males felt their existence was being ignored, and they harbored a slight sense of grievance and loss.

Each male who usually waited for females to pounce on them now felt aggrieved, rubbing against his own female's side, either helping to stoke the fire or gather firewood, very earnest.

Even the Snow Tiger clan chief bustled around his partner, saying, "Why are you soaking that horned beast egg in water? Can this even be eaten? Aren't you afraid of getting sick? You females are really bold!"

After all that nagging, the clan chief's partner gave him a sharp retort: "Just stay put and wait to eat; you're chattering like that long-beaked bird on the tree."

Until that pale yellow little cake on the stone slab began to give off waves of tempting aroma, the clan chief's partner suddenly heard a 'drip-drip' sound coming from nearby.

Turning his head, he saw that the Snow Tiger clan chief's saliva had already gouged a small pit in the ground where he was squatting.
