The wizard added: "Actually, the most important reason is that we don't have enough food."
Xia Chujian blinked. "...Really? You're guarding the mountains and seas rich in resources, and you tell me there's no food?"
As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the sea, eat from the sea", doesn't it apply here?
The wizard sighed and said, "But there are wild beasts that eat people in the mountains, and there are sea monsters that eat people in the sea."
"They don't eat us, thank God. How can we eat them? How can we eat them? Should we send ourselves into their stomachs?"
"I won't talk about the sea beasts in the sea. I believe you have already seen them."
"But I still have to warn you, the sea beasts here really can't be eaten."
Hearing the wizard say this, Xia Chujian felt a tightness in her heart. Isn’t this a curse?
Thinking about how I ate a lot of "crabs" today, could they still be poisonous?
So will she die soon and be ejected by the system?
Xia Chujian was getting nervous when she heard the wizard say, "The sea beasts here are cursed by the gods. If you eat them, you will turn into a monster like them!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
It turns out it’s the so-called curse.
It was a false alarm, it's okay.
If the wizard said that the sea beasts were poisonous or had too much heavy metal accumulation, she would really be scared.
The result was still the same curse, and she really didn't take it to heart.
For her, curses don't exist, whether she believes in them or not.
If someone thinks that belief is the truth and disbelief is the truth, then at most she can say "all the curses rebounded" while eating, just like arguing with people on Starnet using the same old words.
Xia Chujian said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I am immune to curses."
"I can also teach you how to become immune to curses!"
"Then we can happily eat sea monsters!"
It would be a waste not to eat such delicious "crabs"!
Xia Chujian's words were obviously more popular than the wizard's.
Because those natives were quietly gathering in the direction of Xia Chujian.
When the wizard saw this scene, he didn't say much.
He simply handed his cane to Xia Chujian and said, "It's our first meeting, so this is just a small gift. It's not much of a token of respect."
Xia Chujian: “…”
Why does she need a cane?
In the eyes of this wizard, is she already in her seventies or eighties and needs a cane to walk?
Xia Chujian looked at the wizard suspiciously and had no intention of taking the cane.
The wizard smiled gently and said, "This thing is a crutch for me, but it may not be a crutch for you."
He stroked the straight, smooth stick and continued, "This is made of the most precious, thousand-year-old ironwood here. It's not only extremely hard, but it can't be burned by fire, damaged by water, or eaten by insects."
"When I'm old, I can use it to walk. When I was young, I could use it to hit people..."
Xia Chujian's heart moved, and he quickly took the cane from the wizard's hand and said with a smile: "Then I will gladly accept it."
She took the smooth wooden stick and looked at it carefully for a moment.
It is made of a kind of black driftwood that looks like it has been painted with matte paint. It is about one meter and two meters long and not very thick. Its diameter is about five centimeters, which is just the width of an ordinary branch.
It’s not heavy, but certainly not light either. It feels very textured in the hand, but not so cumbersome that you can’t hold it.
Xia Chujian held the stick and swung it down fiercely.
The stick hit a big tree near her.
With a crisp sound, the tree, which was more than ten meters high, was broken in half by her!
Xia Chujian was pleasantly surprised and said, "This pole is pretty good!"
In her hand, the wooden stick was certainly not a crutch, so Xia Chujian simply called it a "pole".
The wizard stroked his long, snow-white beard and said, "It seems that Master Qisha is also a good stick player."
Xia Chujian said: "...Is this really a stick? Not a crutch?"
The wizard said, "As I said, this thing is in my hand. Of course it's a cane."
"But in the hands of Master Qisha, it's just a stick."
“Things are the same; it just depends on what people do with them.”
Xia Chujian nodded: "Listening to your words is like listening to a speech."
She held the newly acquired ironwood stick in one hand, waved to Su Yeluo and said, "Let's go back and eat the 'crab-like' Eye of Naip in the sea!"
After these words were spoken, not only did Su Ye Luo follow Xia Chujian closely, but even the people from the Changgeng tribe couldn't help but follow over to see how they were "immune to the curse."
Xia Chujian brought Su Yeluo back to his tribal headquarters and called everyone out.
She stood on a tree stump, waving the ironwood stick in her hand and said, "Don't be afraid!"
"The sea monsters in the ocean have killed so many of our relatives! We must seek revenge on them!"
"Eating their meat won't bring you any curse! Because according to the law of karma, they eat us, so we can eat them!"
"If you're still worried, then say 'curse rebound' before eating sea monster meat!"
"This way we'll never be cursed!"
"If you don't believe me, let's have a sea beast barbecue tonight!"
"Before eating, everyone remember to say 'curse rebound'!"
"Then wait until tomorrow and see if any of us will be cursed and turned into a monster, okay?"
Most of the people below cheered loudly!
But there were also a few clever natives who worriedly asked, "...What if it turns into a monster?"
