"So magical?" Wente took the silver needle and walked over with half belief and half doubt. Fortunately, it was a long needle. If it was short, the orc's two fingers would get cramps from pinching the needle.
He inserted the silver needle into the tip of the red mushroom, half a finger's length in, and waited three to five seconds before removing it. Two pairs of eyes were closely watching the changes in the silver needle. Soon, the silver needle turned pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye, indicating that it was quite toxic...
Wen Te couldn't help but look at Shu Yue, "It really changed color!"
Shu Yue casually pulled a leaf over to him and said, "Hurry up and wipe off the poison. It looks scary."
She didn't know what was going on, but when she looked at the colorful mushrooms, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. Even without trying it with silver needles, she wouldn't want to eat this kind of thing.
She quickly left this area and walked towards the large group of gray umbrellas. Although this group of umbrellas looked ugly, she was drooling at the sight of them.
"Vent, come and try this mushroom."
"Yes, here it comes." Wente wiped it carefully with a leaf until no black spot could be seen. Then he picked up another leaf and wiped it carefully again, being very cautious.
Wente inserted the silver needle into the ugly mushroom, took it out and waited for three minutes, but the color of the silver needle did not change at all. Now he had to believe that the silver needle was really a treasure!
Shu Yue was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Wente, I want to take this whole piece back home. I'll make soup and chicken stewed with mushrooms. It's so delicious!"
Yes, grilled mushrooms taste great too, I’ll make them when I get home!
Wen Te shook his head helplessly, he couldn't imagine how delicious it could be. Knowing that it was not poisonous, he could pick it with confidence.
The mushrooms were so big that two baskets would be full at most. Shu Yue frowned in distress at the large area they took up. "It's not easy to transport them."
She pulled out a whole flower from the ground, and it weighed more than ten pounds. How amazing!
Since the basket couldn't hold all the mushrooms, he asked Wente to use vines to tie up the mushroom roots. He tied up four large mushrooms and carried them away. He wanted to eat so many tonight, and no one could stop him.
While Wente was tying mushrooms, she strolled among them and found another kind of mushroom that tasted similar to shiitake mushrooms. It was about the size of a fist. She tested it with a silver needle and found that it was not poisonous, so she put it in a basket and took it away.
After looking around, she didn't find any other species. She discovered that poisonous mushrooms are easy to identify. Any mushrooms with slightly bright colors are poisonous.
Wente transformed into a beast and threw the basket and the bundled mushrooms onto his back. A deep voice rang out from the dragon beast's throat, "Yueyue, we're going home."
"Okay." Shu Yue was very happy. She had gained a lot today.
Wente took off and lay on the dragon beast's back looking down. Wherever there were trees, there were mushrooms growing under the trees, as if the trees were wearing small aprons, and there was no end in sight.
She suddenly felt rich. These were all delicious!
As her sight rose higher, she sat up straighter. "Wente, go back and tell the tribesmen to come pick mushrooms. It doesn't matter if they can't finish them now. The mushrooms can be dried and saved for winter, which is just as delicious."
Wente asked in surprise, "Can mushrooms be preserved?"
Shu Yue nodded: "Yes, as long as they are dried and stored, when you want to eat them in winter, you can soak them in water and they will become delicious mushrooms again~"
No, she's hungry.
"Went, let's go back quickly. I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. Um, it seems we haven't caught any chickens yet. Let's go catch two now!"
Hearing the female's anxious voice, Wente knew she was hungry and couldn't help but smile indulgently, "I know, we'll go catch it right away." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
