Qiao Yu picked up one of them and, with a little force, broke off a piece. She saw a dark purple hue beneath the brown skin, and then a white tuber underneath, resembling the cross-section of a sweet potato or potato. Unlike sweet potatoes and potatoes, this tuber had a mucus coating its cross-section. This must be the yam, a type of potato she had seen in southern China. Its scientific name is hairy yam, and it's also a starchy food. Most importantly, it's highly productive; planting one piece yields a large harvest.
Just like the place she just lifted up, there were four or five of them under one vine.
Thinking of this, she looked around and saw that there were indeed many hairy potato vines all around.
Today she just came to see if there was anything edible, and she had no intention of digging up the yams, so she continued up the mountain to look for other food.
Soon she found a chestnut forest. The tribe probably didn't know they were edible, so the chestnut trees were covered with chestnuts that had fallen in previous years. Some of the shells were still intact.
Qiao Yu picked up one and broke it open, only to find that the flesh inside was infested with worms and was inedible.
But it didn't matter, the chestnut tree was tall and big, and the tree was covered with thorn balls. It was autumn now, and the thorn balls had opened their mouths, which meant that the chestnuts inside were ripe.
There were seven or eight chestnut trees in this grove. The harvested chestnuts, along with the yams, fish from the river, and the tribe's stored meat, were enough to sustain the more than one hundred people in the tribe for the entire winter.
She didn't pick the chestnuts, but just determined their location and continued walking up the mountain.
It was getting late, so she had to look for the tiger.
Tigers leave feces wherever they pass. Furthermore, Shan told him that when they encountered a tiger, it had wounds and was bleeding. He guessed the tiger was injured by wolves.
Therefore, there should be bloodstains where the tiger passed.
As a psychic, Qiao Yu's five senses were much sharper than those of an average person. It wasn't long before she found a trail of blood, which extended all the way up the mountain. Clearly, this was where the injured tiger had passed yesterday.
Following the blood trail all the way, Qiao Yu circled the ridge, from east to west, and crossed three mountains before she felt something was wrong.
There are occasionally rabbits and other animals on the first three mountains, but there are very few animals on this mountain. Obviously, there is a tiger living here, and other animals are afraid of its scent and dare not come here.
Her strength was there, so Qiao Yu was too lazy to act sneakily, so she went straight up the mountain.
Having experienced the end of the world and possessing supernatural powers, Qiao Yu's sensitivity to things is no less than that of animals.
Even from a long distance, she could feel the tiger's invisible pressure and unique breath, and could accurately determine its location. Therefore, when she arrived here, she didn't need to look for it at all, and went straight to the tiger's lair.
The tiger, who was originally lying in his lair recuperating from his injuries, suddenly smelled a strange scent.
It was injured yesterday and didn't want to pay attention to it. It never thought that this scent was not just passing through its territory, but actually getting closer and closer, heading straight for its nest.
The tiger growled, stood up, walked out of the cave and ran towards Qiao Yu.
When Qiao Yu reached the halfway point, he saw a tiger running down the mountain at breakneck speed. It had been in the distance when it came into view, but in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him. And it wasn't afraid to rush over, it pounced directly at Qiao Yu with its mouth wide open.
Qiao Yu stood there motionless as if she was frightened by the tiger, but when the tiger was about to pounce on her, she dodged the tiger's attack and raised her fist to hit the tiger on the back.
The tiger's body was in the air when it pounced on her. When Qiao Yu punched it, the tiger suddenly felt like it was hit by a huge force, and its internal organs seemed to be displaced.
It couldn't hold on, and the whole tiger fell to the ground with a "bang", falling flat on its face.
The tiger's foot was injured yesterday, but its internal organs were fine. Its fur was extremely thick, and its bones and muscles were very strong, so Qiao Yu's punch actually knocked it to the ground.
"Awoo!" the tiger roared in shame and anger, shaking the leaves around it to fall "rustling" like rain of falling leaves; the cry was heard from far away.
"When a tiger roars in the mountains, all the beasts scatter." The tiger's roar has a deterrent power that can make people tremble with fear and their legs go weak.
But Qiao Yu was no ordinary person. Her mental and physical strength were extremely strong. She had seen everything in the apocalypse. The tiger's roar had no effect on her at all.
After the tiger finished roaring, it used all four claws to leap into the air, quickly turned around and pounced on Qiao Yu again.
Qiao Yu still stood there calmly without moving. When the tiger thought she was frightened and opened its mouth to bite off her head, she dodged slightly and the tiger missed.
Before the tiger could react, it was hit on the head again. This punch was so heavy that it not only made it want to vomit blood, but its body in the air could not withstand the combined force of the earth's gravity and the weight of the punch. With a "bang", it was knocked down again and fell to the ground with another "pa".
The tiger was stunned for a moment, but with a "roar", it quickly flew into the air again and pounced towards Qiao Yu.
The tiger's power lies in its thick skin, strong bones, and immense strength. Despite its large size, it is extremely agile and swift in its movements, with virtually no weak spots, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
But Qiao Yu was stronger and more agile than it, and she had the skills and courage she had gained from fighting zombies in the apocalypse. The tiger, the king of the forest, was nothing in front of her. When it pounced, it was knocked to the ground by Qiao Yu's punch.
