The next morning.

It was a rare occasion that the beastmen and females of the tribe did not go out hunting and gathering. Instead, they gathered in the open space and were very lively.

"Aren't you all very curious about why the witch doctor and I are collecting the fruit of divine punishment?" The beasts pricked up their ears when they heard this. During this period of time, the chief and the witch doctor had instructed everyone to collect the fruit of divine punishment. Although the tribesmen did as they were told, the fear of the fruit of divine punishment in their hearts still made the tribe full of tension.

"The tribe had already discovered another use for the Fruit of God's Punishment a few days ago. We used the Fruit of God's Punishment to pickle a cuckoo beast. Now, I will take out this cuckoo beast and show it to everyone."

After receiving a signal from his father, Ge Tai opened the basket beside him, took out a cuckoo beast, and placed it in the hands of tribe leader Ge Xing.

"Now, one beastman from each family come up and take a look at this cackling beast." Chief Ge Xing's tone was a little excited, leaving the beasts a little confused.

Xiuli poked his partner with his finger and said, "Go and have a look."

Ge Rou hesitated for a moment, then walked forward under the gaze of the beasts. The closer she got to the cuckoo beast, the more confused Ge Rou became. How come this cuckoo beast has been kept for such a long time, but there is no smell at all?

She took a few quick steps, took the cuckoo beast from Ge Xing's hand, stepped forward and sniffed it hard: "This...this..."

Ge Rou was extremely shocked. She couldn't hide the expression on her face at all, and her voice even trembled a little: "Brother, this cuckoo beast is not broken at all!"

When the beastmen heard this, they rushed forward without hesitation. A small cackling beast passed back and forth among the beasts.

Ji Nuan observed a three-second silence for the poor cuckoo beast. Fortunately, it was dead. If it were still alive, it would have been scared to death.

Ge Xing waved his hand, signaling the animals to be quiet: "Everyone has seen it and smelled it.

Yes, this cuckoo beast was pickled by us with the Fruit of Divine Punishment. It has been kept for many days and the meat has not gone bad at all.

So, tribesmen, go out hunting without worry, collect the God's Punishment Fruits when you see them, we will pickle a lot of prey, so that the cubs, females, and orcs of our Watson tribe will not die from lack of food, everyone! Okay!"

The orcs were all excited. Their faces flushed and they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Good! Good! Good!"

“Ji Nuan, come here!” The witch doctor waved to Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan shook her furry tiger tail, walked forward and stood beside the witch doctor grandma.

The witch doctor said loudly: "It was Ji Nuan who discovered the God's Punishment Fruit, the Stinky Fruit, and the way to eat the Gulp Beast. During this period of time, Ji Nuan has made so many contributions to our Watson tribe.

Therefore, I hereby announce that after the cold season, Ji Nuan will inherit my position and become the witch doctor of our Watson tribe."

Unbeknownst to Ji Nuan, her status in the tribe's hearts had become the same as that of Chief Ge Xing and the witch doctor.

The little fat girl Ge Ye's face was red with excitement, and she raised her hand high: "Ji Nuan, the witch doctor!"

"Ouch~" A fruit core hit Geye's forehead. The little girl screamed in pain and covered her forehead, looking at her father who was sitting on the stone with resentful eyes.

Ge Xing glared at the little fat girl fiercely, his beard twitching: "You shut up right there."

Ji Nuan stood beside the witch doctor and watched the interaction between the father and daughter, her eyes full of smiles. They were father and daughter, without a doubt.

"Witch doctor grandma, since the Fruit of God's Punishment can help us preserve food, it is the Beast God's gift to us. We can't continue to call it the Fruit of God's Punishment!" Ji Nuan said.

The witch doctor's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is not the fruit of God's punishment, this..."

Then he turned to look at Ji Nuan and said, "You are the one who discovered the method of using the fruit of divine punishment to preserve food, so you can come up with a new name!"

Ji Nuan's heart was filled with ripples, her eyes were filled with nostalgia, her lips slightly opened, and she uttered two words as if with a sigh: "Salt!"

"Salt?" the witch doctor murmured.

The old man did not ask about the origin of the name, but just nodded and said, "Okay, let's call it Salt Fruit."

···

On this day, the morale of the Watson tribe was unprecedentedly high.

The beastmen in the hunting team and the females who were gathering with them were all full of energy.

Orcs no longer worry about hunting too many prey and causing them to spoil.

The females also increased their gathering speed so that they could go back and help the orcs process the prey and learn how to use divine punishment...

No, it's salted game.
