Firewood and animal hides are quite useful, but the rest is unnecessary. Besides, they don't have a cellar or warehouse like Ari's.

Seeing Mickelson frown and remain silent, Ari was terrified. He didn't know who else to turn to for help besides Mickelson.

"Micken, if you're not satisfied with these, I can get you more."

Mickson said, "No, it's just that there are too many vegetables for our tribe to eat."

Arui, seeing an opportunity, kept pushing the idea: "No, no, it looks like it'll be gone in no time. You can let the females try some."

The females in their tribe mainly eat wild vegetables, which are pretty but useless; the females probably wouldn't even touch them, Mickson said.

Wait a minute.

Then he went into the cave to find Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, Arui brought corn and other vegetables, would you like some?"

Guo Xiaoxiao asked a question while sorting through the animal hides.

Who is Arui?

Miksen: "Chief of the Jumping Orcs, he's the one who gave me the corn last time. This time he brought a lot of vegetables. I remember you really like corn, so I was thinking you could take a look and choose some."

Vegetables! Corn, we should choose more of those, Guo Xiaoxiao put down the animal hide in her hand and said.

"Let's go take a look."

"etc"

Mickson was always cautious; he covered Guo Xiaoxiao's face with a piece of animal skin to prevent Arui from seeing her appearance.

Guo Xiaoxiao understood and obediently let him cover her face, then followed him out. Arui saw that Mickson had brought the female.

He breathed a sigh of relief; he was really worried that Mickson wouldn't agree to help.

Arui was stunned for a moment when he first saw Guo Xiaoxiao; this female…

Because Guo Xiaoxiao's face was covered, Arui couldn't see her face clearly at all, but judging from her height, figure, and features, she was very young and very beautiful!

"Female, we've brought you your favorite food, and a big stick too!"

Arui went over to ingratiate himself.

Guo Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to see the ground covered with vegetables, corn, tomatoes, potatoes... everything imaginable. She happily squatted down, touched them, and exclaimed:

"Where were these picked? They're so tender and fresh!"

"On the hillsides of our Jumping Tribe, we grow fresh vegetables."

Ari was beaming with pride; his Jumping Tribe was incredibly powerful.

Guo Xiaoxiao listened and exclaimed in admiration:

"Wow, that's amazing! I've never seen so many kinds of vegetables before. Radishes can be stewed with meat, and potatoes can be made into mashed potatoes. That's fantastic!"

To be precise, it was after arriving in the Beast World.

Mickelson saw that Guo Xiaoxiao was very interested and said

Do you like it?

"Hmm, can I keep it?"

"Sure, then keep it."

Miken didn't understand why Guo Xiaoxiao liked these things; they weren't even tasty. But he gave them to her whenever she wanted them. If there weren't outsiders, Guo Xiaoxiao would have at least taken a bite of the tomato.

"It's done!" Ari was overjoyed. As long as he took their things, he could ask for more.

Mickelson said, "Ari, how would you like me to help you?"

Arui hurriedly said

"Our tribe is being invaded by foreign enemies. We would like to ask you to send people to repel those invaders and protect our safety. Of course, we will not ask for your help for nothing; you can come and take our tribe's vegetables anytime."

Miksen pursed his lips awkwardly. Meat would be fine, but vegetables were too much for Guo Xiaoxiao to eat alone. However, the Jumping Orcs were indeed not good at fighting, and if this dragged on, they would definitely be captured.

“Are, we are currently short of manpower, and it will be difficult to send people to help you drive away the invading orcs. However, I can send Mikel, along with Sam and Thor, to help you defend your territory.”

Arui was slightly disappointed, but remembering that he couldn't negotiate due to his situation, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, thank you, Mikeson. You are a truly kind person. We, the Jumping Beast Clan, will forever remember your life-saving grace."

Guo Xiaoxiao listened to their conversation; this young orc named Arui

Arui has delicate features, fair and smooth skin, and large, bright eyes; he has a very cute and refined appearance.

It turned out they were exchanging vegetables. Guo Xiaoxiao noticed the disappointment in Arui's eyes and chimed in.

“Miksen, can’t we just let them into our tribe?”

She knows how to farm and harvest vegetables, and she's a vegetarian, so I guess she shouldn't have any problems.

Before Mickelson could even refuse, Ari himself disagreed.

"No need, female. Our home has been cultivated there for generations, and we have stored up a lot of food. We would rather die than leave our place."

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, not angry at all. Instead, she admired Arui a little. He really had backbone!

Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao didn't speak, Arui thought he had offended her and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, female, I was just telling the truth, please don't be angry."

He quickly said that he really didn't mean it.

"Oh, you don't need to be so polite. I didn't mean anything by it, haha."

Mickelson squatted on the ground, looking at all the vegetables, and said...

"Xiaoxiao, you choose some. There's no place to put so much. Let Arui take the rest back. I'll get more from Arui later if you want some."

"Too"

Guo Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed a leather bag that Arui had brought and started picking out the vegetables she wanted to eat. As she picked, she felt like she wanted to eat everything.

Arui is still helping to promote vegetables.

"These are delicious, you should try them. These golden beans were dug up before winter, and they taste especially good."

Guo Xiaoxiao stopped upon hearing this. Golden beans? Potatoes?

Arui pointed at the potato and said:

"Our tribe's favorite food is golden beans; take a lot of them."

Guo Xiaoxiao swallowed hard. Mashed potatoes, potato chips, shredded potatoes—anything was better than what she was eating now.

Guo Xiaoxiao filled her pockets.

Miksen realized, "She really loves vegetables!" After Guo Xiaoxiao finished picking up the vegetables, Arui packed up the rest for everyone in the tribe.

"Micken, I'm leaving now. Come and get it if you want some."

"Wait, I'll have Mikel go back with you."

Really? Okay.

Ari, carrying a large animal skin bag, waited with several tribesmen. Miksen found Mikel and gave him a few instructions, telling him to lead the tribesmen back to the tribe with Ari to guard it.

Mikel remained silent the entire way.

When Arui saw his expression, he laughed and teased him.

"Oh my, why have you suddenly become mute? You used to be so talkative."

Mikel glared at Ari and ignored him.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Back in the tribe, Arui put the vegetables back in the warehouse. Seeing that the chief had brought back the orcs from the Feather Mountain tribe, Arui's image among the Jumping Tribe improved considerably, and they all praised him.

With vegetables, there was no fear of running out of cooking ideas. Mikkelsen sent Guo Xiaoxiao back to the cave and then led several tribesmen on patrol. Monet was also busy making a lot of clubs in case of emergency.

Guo Xiaoxiao washed and chopped the potatoes, while others were just peeled and soaked. She wanted some to make mashed potatoes and some to make stir-fried potato shreds with meat. There were seasonings, but no scallions, ginger, or garlic. But it didn't matter; something was better than nothing.
