Chapter 11 Stray Beast
"Don't worry, you've made the right choice by trusting me."
These tomatoes can be used not only for stir-frying, but also to make tomato sauce or tomato soup.
Just thinking about that sour and salty taste made Wen Li's mouth water uncontrollably.
Wen Li began picking the fruit.
Xin Yuan also came forward, helped her pick the fruit, and then put it into her basket.
However, he has mixed feelings right now.
Can a fruit that grows on the roadside and no one else would even glance at it really become delicious?
Before they knew it, the two had finished picking all the fruit in front of them.
There weren't many ripe tomatoes, but they were large enough to fill half a basket.
Wen Li was very satisfied. If she could get wild eggs, she could make scrambled eggs with tomatoes today.
Wen Li was quite confident about this kind of home-style dish.
"I remember the taro fruit is just ahead, let's go."
Wen Li pointed in a direction.
Taro is just potato, that's what the locals call it, and it was one of the foods the original owner often ate.
Through the original owner's memories, Wen Li also knew the approximate location where the taro grew.
The two quickly arrived at the area where potatoes were growing, and Wen Li could recognize the potato leaves.
They loosened the surrounding soil and began digging.
Soon a large bunch of big, plump potatoes were cleared out.
Seeing Wen Li's actions, Xin Yuan offered to help, not forgetting to comment, "This doesn't taste good."
Carnivorous orcs have no interest in vegetables, and they don't cook them well.
In the tribe, only herbivorous orcs like Wen Li eat potatoes.
"Don't worry, it'll taste good. Just keep digging," Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan had already gained a basic understanding of her cooking skills and did not refute her.
The two quietly began digging for potatoes. Xin Yuan was much faster than Wen Li, and soon a small mountain of potatoes had piled up around him.
Wen Li glanced at the potatoes beside her, then at the potatoes beside Xin Yuan, and silently stopped what she was doing.
"That's fine," Wen Li said.
Any more and the basket will be too full; that's about right.
"Okay," Xin Yuan replied.
He first emptied the tomatoes from the basket, put the potatoes in, and then put the tomatoes back in.
"You're quite thoughtful," Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Don't you know that if you leave it directly, it will break?"
Wen Li: "..."
The basket was filled to the brim.
Wen Li estimated that these things would be enough for them to eat for several days.
They've only been out for a short time, but they've already made a lot of progress.
"If only we had eggs," Wen Li said.
She remembered that Zhu Yan had sent a few pheasants to Xin Yuan that morning.
The presence of pheasants indicates that there should be eggs.
I just don't know where to look.
"You want to eat eggs?" Xin Yuan heard Wen Li's words.
Wen Li pointed to the tomatoes, "Yes, they taste great stir-fried with these."
Xin Yuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "I know where it is, wait for me here for a while."
This area is relatively safe, and it's very close to the tribe.
Wen Li knew he was going hunting, and since she wouldn't be of much help if she went, she might as well stay here and keep watch.
She nodded, "Okay."
Xin Yuan glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the back mountain.
After taking a few steps, he remembered something and turned back.
"this is for you."
Xin Yuan handed over something.
Wen Li looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to give her something.
He reached out and took it, and found it was a golden bead.
"What is this?" Wen Li asked curiously.
Xin Yuan explained, "If you carry this, I can sense your presence, and if there is any danger, I will rush back immediately."
It sounds like a tracker.
Wen Li nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand." After handing the items to Wen Li, Xin Yuan headed back towards the back mountain.
Wen Li waited in place, playing with the golden bead in her hand.
The beads are crystal clear in the sunlight, as beautiful as crystal.
Wen Li held it in her hand, examined it for a while, but still couldn't guess what it was.
"I'd better put it away for now," Wen Li thought.
After Xin Yuan left, she stood there waiting listlessly.
Not knowing how long it would take him to return, Wen Li found a shady spot to sit.
The moment my bottom touched the ground, I heard a loud "bang" coming from the direction of the back mountain.
Wen Li was startled and immediately stood up.
The sound startled many birds.
"...Holy crap!"
Wen Li cursed under her breath, suppressing the unease in her heart.
She couldn't see what was happening over there from here.
All I could do was stand there and wait anxiously.
After all, she wouldn't have the ability to resolve a real danger.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
Wen Li's entire face scrunched up.
After the noise ended, the surroundings became quiet again.
Quietly eerie.
Wen Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
Suddenly, she remembered Xin Yuan's words and took the beads out of her pocket again.
She remembered Xin Yuan saying that as long as the bead was there, he could sense her presence.
Wen Li clutched the bead in her palm, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
She remembered what Meng Yu had mentioned about stray animals not long ago. Could it be that Xin Yuan had encountered a stray animal?
Just as Wen Li was thinking this, a dark shadow was stealthily approaching her.
A strong, fishy stench flashed past Wen Li's nose, and she shuddered, turning around abruptly.
Before Wen Li could react, her body flew heavily through the air, and a huge beast pounced on her and knocked her to the ground.
It was a huge black wolf, its face fierce and its eyes gleaming with excitement.
The sharp, enormous wolf claws pressed against Wen Li's chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She was certain that if the other party pressed down hard with their wolf claws, all her internal organs would burst out.
"Female!" The black wolf opened and closed its mouth, and a foul stench assaulted Wen Li. "Not bad, I actually managed to find a lone female."
Black Wolf spoke excitedly, his sharp nails parting the strands of hair in front of Wen Li.
The excitement in Black Wolf's eyes vanished the moment he saw Wen Li's face clearly.
"What ugly monster?" Black Wolf said mercilessly.
"..."
Wen Li, who was already feeling terrified, felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart.
Seriously? Are you sick? Why resort to personal attacks?
"Let me go..."
Wen Li was about to speak to persuade the black wolf in front of her.
Since you think she's ugly, you might as well let her go.
Little did she know, before she could even speak, Black Wolf muttered again, "Kill him."
Wen Li felt a heavy object pressing against her chest; this black wolf really intended to kill her.
There was no other way at the moment; she was completely speechless.
His chest was compressed, and every word he uttered became a breathy sound.
Her face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, which Black Wolf found utterly hideous, and he tightened his grip even further.
Wen Li really felt like she was going to die.
How could she be so unlucky...?
At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed by.
Wen Li felt a lightness in her body as the heavy weight on her chest disappeared.
The black wolf that had been pressing down on her took flight and flew towards the woods.
"boom--!"
The black wolf's body crashed heavily into the tree, smashing it in two.
