Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 37 Red Leaf Tribe
“Our tribe also uses redwood tree branches as seasoning, but we usually rinse and soak them in running water for a long time to reduce the toxins before using them.

However, even so, poisoning sometimes occurs. When poisoned by the redwood tree, a person's senses will be paralyzed from the sense of taste, and they will gradually lose the ability to move..."

Having said this, Riddle stopped, because the boy behind him could walk and fly, and except for a bitter face, he didn't seem to have any symptoms of being poisoned by the redwood tree.

"The way our tribe detoxifies this poison is to pick the green leaves of the redwood tree that have not yet grown and turned red, grind them into juice and use it to detoxify."

As he spoke, the Red Leaf Tribe leader handed over the green leaf juice he had ground in his hand, and did not forget to state in advance: "It is very effective in detoxifying the redwood tree, but I don't know if it will work for your bitter mouth."

Broly took the leaf water. As long as it could reduce the bitter taste in his mouth, he didn't care what he drank and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, Broly smacked his lips twice, and the bitterness in his mouth was much less, and his eyes lit up.

"Can I have another drink?"

"Of course, but can you tell me about how you saved my daughter?"

Riddle took the clay cup and asked Broly about it, he wanted to get the answer from the boy who saved his daughter.

Hearing this, Broly became a little distressed. Riddle was just a child he rescued by chance. There were 71 other children he rescued by chance like this.

The other party suddenly asked him to describe the details of the rescue. Broly couldn't remember anything. He could only say: "There was some kind of prey that big chasing her from behind, and then I went up and kicked it like this, and the prey chasing Rivarina fell down with a thud."

Rider: "..."

Who can tell him what kind of prey it is, and what about the boy who raised his leg and made a kicking motion with a strange dubbing from his mouth, and then lay on the ground with his tongue sticking out and his head tilted? Does it mean that the dangerous prey that was chasing his daughter was killed by him?
The general plot, as the chief of a tribe living in the mangroves, Riddle can still be understood, but even this abstract and vivid description with gestures and movements does not feel as exciting as the one told by his daughter with simple words.

"Thank you for saving my daughter. You will be a friend of our Red Leaf tribe. Our tribe always gives warm hospitality to friends."

After helping Broly get rid of the bitterness in his mouth, Chief Riddle treated him as a benefactor and asked the tribe to prepare a lot of food to entertain Broly and the other children.

This meal was much more delicious than the barbecue they had in the forest, after all, it contained a lot more seasonings, such as the important salt.

"Everyone, feel free to eat. If it's not enough, we can make more."

"What's wrong with the clan leader?"

"I'm glad that his missing daughter is back."

"You mean Rivarina? Isn't she dead?"

"He's not dead. I heard he was captured by slave traders from the empire and sold to the Giant Tree Forest in the north. But he was helped by someone and managed to escape back."

"So, these kids are the ones who helped her?"

"Ah."

"No wonder..."

After private communication, the people of the Red Leaf Tribe understood why their clan leader used the tribe's food to entertain outsiders.

Although some people complained a bit, in the end no one said anything weird overtly. People here generally believed that one should repay a favor.

Nothing happened that night, and the children had a good sleep in the vine space arranged for them by the Red Leaf Tribe.

When they woke up the next day, the tribe had prepared food for them.

The children were a little confused. They found that they didn't seem to have to do anything while waiting for others.

I couldn't help but look at Broly.

"No pain, no gain. Let's help with the hunting."

It is said to be hunting, but in fact it is fishing. The only difference is that the places in this mangrove forest where fish gather easily are occupied by the people of the Red Leaf Tribe.

Although they did not explicitly exclude them, they also expressed that it was inconvenient for these outsiders to catch fish near the fish ponds that they had worked hard to build.

Fortunately, when Broly came here yesterday, he brought another mangrove forest with him, and there was no one in the waters of that place.

Rivarina came over to catch fish with them, so there was no need to rush to other places, and the day passed leisurely.

Originally they thought the outsiders were a group of freeloaders, but unexpectedly they brought a lot of fish at night. In this regard, some people in the Red Leaf tribe accepted these outsiders, but some people thought that the outsiders had robbed their tribe's mangrove resources and said some strange things.

"The place where we fish is not your mangrove forest, but the mangrove forest that Brother Broly brought us to. We didn't steal your fish."

"You're just bragging. How can mangroves fly? You just stole the fish from our tribe."

Some children had disputes with other children in the Red Leaf Tribe and even started fighting with them.

The children of the Red Leaf Tribe were very tough and had strong fighting skills, but the children from the Jifunola Sea Tree Forest were potential assassins with even stronger hands-on abilities, and they won with a small advantage.

The adults of the Red Leaf Tribe felt a little embarrassed and wanted to intervene, but were stopped by the tribe leader. "Children's affairs are theirs, why should adults interfere?"

Not only words but also fists and feet can be used for communication. The group of children who came with his daughter are very good, and Riddle wants to absorb them into his own tribe.

The best way to absorb is to let the children mingle among themselves and naturally complete the process of accepting each other.

As Riddle expected, the initial rejection was a natural phenomenon. After the children got along well with each other, they gradually accepted playing with children from other places.

The biggest catalyst here is actually related to Broly flying to the Gifnora Sea Forest, hunting some dangerous species and bringing them back.

After seeing this scene with their own eyes, the children of the Red Leaf Tribe were directly assimilated by the foreign children.

Thinking that Rivarina could also worship such a powerful big brother, they took the initiative to express that they also wanted to worship a powerful big brother.

With a common object of worship, everyone has a common language, and friction will naturally be reduced.

In a word, as long as you think Big Brother is awesome and are willing to admire him with us, then you are our best friend.

Less than five days after arriving at the Hongye Tribe, children under the age of ten were already playing together.

There has been a huge change from originally this was the mangrove forest of our tribe (big brother) and you outsiders (tribe) were not allowed to catch fish here, to now this is our mangrove forest and you can come and catch fish as you please, and even see which side catches more fish.

The attitude of the tribal children also affected the adults. More importantly, with an additional connected mangrove forest, the tribe could get more fish every day.

"Broly, I challenge you!"

As the trend of foreign children integrating into the tribe was going on, Rivarina's eldest brother Ripalip suddenly challenged Broly.

The reason was that Ripalip couldn't stand the situation where he was gradually being called the second brother in the tribe.

Originally, whether it was his sister or the children from other tribes, they would affectionately call him Brother Rip when they met him, but after Broly came to the tribe, he was demoted.

Now, Lipalip has to use his strength to regain his status as the big brother in the eyes of his sister and the children of the tribe.

"Broly, I know you are very powerful, so I will not hold back just because you are younger than me. I will go all out and let everyone know who is the real boss of the Red Leaf Tribe."

This is a struggle for status among the children. Although Ripalip is fifteen years old and not yet an adult, he can still get close to the children.

"Forget it, Brother Rip, you have never hunted a dangerous species, how can you have the nerve to compete with Brother Broly?"

The children said words that undermined confidence, and most of those who said these words were children from within the tribe.

“Stop talking nonsense. I have never hunted dangerous species. That’s just because there are few dangerous species near our mangrove forest.

In terms of strength, I am able to collect pearls from more than 20 freshwater clams in one go in deep water, so I am not inferior to anyone."

The boy lay on the wooden stake, intending to compete with Broly through arm wrestling.

Then, best-of-three, he lost all of them as expected.

"Strength is nothing, let's compete in speed, but no flying."

The speed was compared, which restricted Broly's flight, but Broly still easily outran him.

"Let's compete in lung capacity."

Ripalip buried his face in the water and held his breath for thirty minutes. He raised his head only when he could hold it no longer.

"How about my lung capacity..."

"Brother Broly hasn't gotten up yet."

"Don't even mention Broly, even Red Eye and Black Eye are still holding their breath."

In the subsequent competitions, Ripalip was defeated in all the matches, and even some of the kids who joined the competition midway performed better than him.

"I lost, bro!"

After a day of competition, Ripalip failed to regain his status as the eldest brother. Instead, he willingly acknowledged the boy younger than himself as his eldest brother.

It was also on this day that Broly, through various competitions that seemed like games to him, became the only big brother in the eyes of all the children of the Red Leaf tribe.

Of course, Broly, as the big brother, doesn’t care. The experience of playing games with everyone is what makes him happy.

The happiness values ​​of Akame and Kurome also increased a lot during the competition game. Unfortunately, so many days have passed, and Broly still hasn't met another wife who can be recognized by the Crystal Palace.
