Chapter 772: Crystal-clear Grass Seeds
After staying a few days again, the various tribes, seeing that there was no way to exchange rare items from Wu Yue and Yuan Lang's hands, each packed their luggage and early set off on the road home.
After Wu Yue and Yuan Lang packed their belongings, they also prepared to leave.
"Um, hello."
Suddenly, a somewhat shy voice sounded from behind them.
The two turned around and saw a particularly thin young male looking at them somewhat timidly.
Being stared at by the two important figures from the super tribe, he nervously shrank his neck.
Noticing his action, Wu Yue softened her expression: "May I ask what's the matter?"
Seeing that the speaker was that beautiful little female, the male blushed a little from shyness.
Although it wasn't very clear on his originally dark red face.
But the sharp-eyed Yuan Lang still noticed it.
He grit his teeth silently, this little brat, speaking up and blushing at the drop of a hat.
"Our tribe's land has a kind of grass seed that birds and beasts love to eat."
"The tribe also gathers a lot of it and stores it as winter food."
"So I wanted to ask, would you like some?"
Saying that, he extended his dark, thin hand, with several crystal-clear, jade-like grass seeds lying in his palm.
Each of the grass seeds he mentioned is the size of an adult's fingernail.
Like round, smooth jade stones.
"How do you eat this grass seed?"
Wu Yue reached out to take a grass seed to examine.
But she saw an arm beside her quickly pinch up a seed and hand it over.
The grass seed in her hand looked even more beautiful up close, simply like a piece of art.
She brought it to her nose and smelled it; there was no scent at all.
Seeing that she seemed interested in the grass seed in his hand,
The male's eyes sparkled as he said: "Although this grass seed looks hard, you can just toss it straight into your mouth when eating."
"Although it has no taste, eating a few makes you feel full."
Hearing him say that, Wu Yue's eyes lit up.
She silently called the system: "Tongzi, scan and see if this grass seed poses any danger to the body."
The chubby Tongzi received the task and quickly changed into a white research outfit.
His chubby face full of seriousness began the scanning work.
"Tsk tsk, host, your luck is still as good as ever."
"This grass seed, after scanning, has no toxic side effects."
"It can even be called the rice of the beast world."
Wu Yue's eyes instantly shone like stars.
"Rice?"
"Oh ho, rice, the staple food."
With bright, sparkling eyes, she looked at the male whose face showed apprehension.
"I really like this grass seed; however much you bring, I'll take it all."
"What do you want to exchange for?"
The dark, thin male opposite instantly became excited, about to say something.
"You little brat, what are you doing here!"
A roar came from behind, followed immediately by a sharp pain in the back of the head.
"Ow, uncle, can't you go easier? My head's about to fall off."
Facing his complaint, the dark, thin male's uncle paid no attention at all.
He turned his head to look at Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, his face showing reverence for the super tribe.
"Respected shaman, beastman warrior."
"The little brat at home was mischievous and didn't explain clearly."
"Although this grass seed can fill the stomach, it shouldn't be eaten too much."
Wu Yue frowned: "How so?"
In her heart she silently asked Tongzi: "Didn't you say this rice has no toxic side effects?"
The elder uncle let out a light sigh, looking at the child shrinking his neck beside him, feeling his hands itch again.
"This grass seed can be eaten in small amounts, but eating more will make the stomach feel bloated."
"In our tribe, there have even been cases of people dying from stomach pain due to eating too much."
"So we each eat at most a small handful each time."
"Cannot be eaten in large quantities."
"It seems he fears that the two noble people from the super tribe will blame his tribe's child."
This elder uncle repeatedly bowed and apologized.
"If the two adults want this grass seed, we can give you all that remains after this trade."
"We only hope you won't blame the child for his earlier concealment."
At this moment, Tongzi, after scanning again, also said: "Their bloating and stomach pain should be from eating raw rice."
"Although the beast folk have strong teeth, it's also true that this hard, crunchy thing is hard to digest when eaten."
Eating too much increases the burden on the intestines and stomach; over time, abdominal bloating and pain are quite normal, wow.
Host, don't worry; we just need to cook it thoroughly and then eat it.
Wu Yue heard this and let out a sigh of relief; it's fine as long as there's no toxin.
The rest aren't a problem.
Looking at the two thin, gaunt males with their fearful, anxious appearance.
Wu Yue felt a pang of sympathy arise in her heart.
The disparities between people aren't only in the original world; the beast world governed by jungle law is even more obviously somewhat cruel.
After thinking, she released her shaman power to wrap around the crystal-clear rice grains in her hand.
After a moment, she softened her gaze and looked at the two people opposite, whose faces were shocked.
"I just used my shaman power to test it; there's no toxin in these grass seeds.
"What you just said—feeling bloated and having stomach pain after eating too much—is probably because your way of eating is wrong.
She pinched her tender white little hand and said: "These grass seeds are a bit hard, although the teeth can crush them.
But once ingested, our bodies still can't tolerate them.
So you can cook them in a stone pot until they're softer before eating, and then you won't have bloating and stomach pain.
Of course, you should also eat more fruits and wild vegetables normally, which is good for the body.
The two males stared, bewildered, at the gentle-faced female shaman.
How gentle~
How kind~
How good~
This shaman from the Super Tribe is really nice~
Upon receiving the reminder from the Shaman Sir, the two thin males were instantly moved to tears.
Being stared at by the two dark-skinned males whose eyes were filled with hot tears.
Wu Yue involuntarily shivered.
She quickly spoke up to interrupt their imagined moving emotions: "Do you have any more of the grass seeds you brought this time? I want them all."
The older male, after all, has a more stable emotion.
He stretched out his claw to wipe away the tears of emotion overflowing from his eye sockets, his voice a little hoarse as he said: "Respected Shaman Sir, some of the grass seeds we brought were exchanged at the previous trade fair."
Now there's only as much as a small animal-skin bag.
As he spoke, he gestured; it really is a small animal-skin bag, only as high as his forearm.
Wu Yue nodded: "I'll take them all; what do you want to exchange for them?"
Seeing that she really wanted to trade, the young male's whole body visibly leapt with joy.
"Respected Shaman Sir, we want to exchange salt with you; just a little bit is enough."
"Many people in our tribe have lost their strength; we need to bring back salt to save them."
This time, the older male also didn't interrupt his words, likewise looking at Wu Yue with an expectant face.
