Chapter 97 Great Harvest
The vegetables he discovered alone were enough to make his trip worthwhile.
Not to mention that this discovery is just the beginning.
Soon, Zhou Xu sniffed and found some dried mushrooms nearby.
This discovery made him even happier, because he was a real mushroom lover.
If you ask him what his favorite vegetarian dish is , it goes without saying that it is all kinds of mushrooms! Among them, shiitake mushrooms are the most popular!
The dried mushrooms in front of him exuded the scent of dried shiitake mushrooms. This long-lost mushroom fragrance made Zhou Xu take a deep breath, and he couldn't help but smile.
In fact, he had been thinking long before setting out that since they were on the mountain, there was a high probability that there would be mushrooms.
Now it really lived up to expectations! Just when Zhou Xu was overjoyed at the discovery of these mushrooms, a sudden collision at his feet made him subconsciously look down with the torch in hand.
The next second, a pile of stem-like objects about the size of ping-pong balls, with a bumpy and irregular surface and a lot of dirt on them, came into his sight.
Zhou Xu was stunned when he saw it, then he immediately bent down and picked up one of them.
"Could this be..."
While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu quickly rubbed away the mud on top with the tip of his thumb, revealing the yellow skin.
“Haha, hahahahahaha!!!”
At that moment, the ecstasy in his heart was like a tsunami sweeping towards him and completely submerging him! If mushrooms were his favorite vegetables, then these inconspicuous little earthen eggs in front of him were what he wanted most! He couldn't hold back his laughter just now, and the subordinates around him all cast strange looks at him.
Considering his dignity as the leader, Zhou Xu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. However, his heart was obviously not calm at all, and he could even be said to be ecstatic!
[It’s definitely true! This thing is a potato!!]
"Chongshan, Li Ce, have you seen this thing?"
After catching the two potatoes thrown by their leader, Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce looked at them for a while and shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen them before.
"Chief, what is this?"
"It's called potato, and it's a good thing."
Just being able to find vegetables this time is already a big profit for them.
The discovery of potatoes is of even greater significance to the development of a tribe.
Because potatoes are a plant that can be used as a staple food. They are easy to grow and can quickly replenish the carbon water needed by the human body! If the tribe wants to develop in the long run, the staple food used to supplement carbon water must not be lacking.
The discovery of potatoes can be said to have directly solved a major problem that their tribe will face next.
At the same time, it also paved the way for the full opening of the subsequent farming era.
To be honest, he felt it was not a loss to buy a bag of potatoes, even if he went home immediately.
But since they are here now and they are in good shape, they naturally don’t mind going through more trouble.
For example, it seems possible to just take down the entire mountain and let him experience the thrill of being the king of the mountain.
Of course, before that, the important thing is to put the current harvest into pocket.
"Send someone to transport all these potatoes to our base first."
"yes!"
After arranging everything that needed to be arranged, Zhou Xu sat in front of the campfire and began to close his eyes and rest.
After discovering them, the tribe must have sent someone to deliver the news back to the main camp as soon as possible.
The enemy leader in the main camp will most likely not wait any longer once he hears the news here.
Because they had just finished a battle, they were somewhat exhausted.
If the other party wants to take advantage of this consumption, there is a high probability that they will attack at dawn.
Before that, what Zhou Xu had to do was to conserve his energy and recover as much as possible from the previous battle.
Although he won the battle easily, he controlled fifty skeleton soldiers at the same time, and later activated the mantras of 'Skeleton Soldier Enhancement' and 'Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement' to enhance the skeleton soldiers so that he could secure victory more quickly. The consumption during this period could not be ignored.
There isn't much time left until dawn.
The more you can recover before the enemy attacks, the better.
During this process, his subordinates were still carrying out search missions in the camp. During this period, they found a lot of bones among the food leftovers in the camp and reported to him.
After taking a look at the bones, Zhou Xu guessed that they should be mountain birds or something like that.
[The primitive people here really eat a variety of meat and vegetables every day. Their diet is probably much more comprehensive than ours.]
[However, there were no poultry in the camp, and there were no cultivated fields nearby, which meant that the food was not here.]
[That's right, the land here is too barren and not suitable for farming. Even if there are poultry and vegetables, they should be settled in the deeper core camp instead of on the periphery.]
[As for weapons, we can see stone axes, bone spears and slings, which are basically the same as our tribe]
[No need to guess, the person on the other side is 100% a time traveler like me.]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking about this, Li Ce walked over quickly.
"leader."
"how's it going?"
Before closing his eyes to rest, Zhou Xu asked Li Ce to interrogate the prisoners to see if he could get some useful information.
Following Zhou Xu's instructions, Li Ce took the prisoners out one by one and questioned them individually.
"Thanks to your method, Chief, each of them said something different, and it's obvious that they are not telling the truth."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded.
[It seems that the person opposite is quite popular in this tribe. ]
Zhou Xu was actually not that surprised by this situation.
Because in this era, it is not difficult to win the hearts of the tribal members as long as you can fill their stomachs.
And to some extent, the food of this tribe is even richer than theirs.
"So did you get any useful information?"
"have!"
As he spoke, Li Ce did not keep anyone in suspense and quickly told the information.
"Those are the soldiers on the other side. There are probably more than a hundred of them!"
This answer surprised Zhou Xu.
You have to know that all the people in their tribe added together are just over a hundred people, but there are more than a hundred warriors on the opposite side?
"Is this information reliable?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. The people who provided this information were all my former subordinates. I saved the lives of two of them before."
At this point, Li Ce laughed.
"They told me this information because they thought I was the leader of this tribe and that I was bringing people back for revenge. They wanted to persuade me to surrender and told me that I couldn't win."
“…”
