Chapter 11: Stray Beasts
"Don't worry, just trust me."
These tomatoes can not only be used for stir-frying, but also made into tomato sauce or tomato soup.
Just thinking about the sour and salty taste, Wen Li's saliva began to secrete uncontrollably.
Wen Li started picking fruits.
Xin Yuan also came forward, helped her pick the fruits, and put them into the backpack.
But he is feeling a little complicated now.
Can this fruit that grows on the road and no one else even looks at really become delicious?
Before they knew it, they had picked all the fruits in front of them.
There weren't many ripe tomatoes, but they were big enough to fill half the frame.
Wen Li was very satisfied. If she could get some pheasant eggs, she could make a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes today.
Wen Li is quite confident about this home-cooked dish.
"I remember the taro fruit is just ahead, let's go."
Wen Li pointed in a direction.
Taro fruit is potato, that’s what people here call it, and it was one of the foods that the original owner often ate.
Through the original owner's memory, Wen Li also knew the approximate location where the taro fruit grew.
The two soon arrived at the area where potatoes were grown, and Wen Li could recognize the potato leaves.
Loosen the soil around it and start digging.
Soon a bunch of large and plump potatoes were cleared out.
Seeing Wen Li's actions, Xin Yuan also took the initiative to help, not forgetting to comment: "This is not delicious."
Carnivorous orcs have no natural interest in vegetables, and the ones they cook don't taste good.
In the tribe, only herbivorous orcs like Wen Li eat potatoes.
"Don't worry, it will be delicious, just dig it." Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan already had a preliminary understanding of her cooking skills and did not refute.
The two of them quietly dug up potatoes. Xin Yuan was much faster than Wen Li, and soon he had a small mountain of potatoes around him.
Wen Li looked at the potato beside him, then looked at the potato beside Xin Yuan, and silently stopped what he was doing.
"Okay." Wen Li said.
If there are more, the basket obviously won’t be able to hold them all, so just enough is enough.
"Okay." Xin Yuan responded.
He first poured out the tomatoes from the basket, put the potatoes in, and finally put the tomatoes back in.
"You are quite careful." Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan looked at her puzzledly, "If you put it directly in, it will be crushed, don't you know?"
Wen Li: “…”
The basket was filled to the brim.
Wen Li estimated that these things were enough for them to eat for a few days.
It's only been a short time since I came out, but I've reaped a lot of rewards.
"It would be nice if there were eggs." Wen Li said.
She remembered that Zhu Yan sent a few pheasants to Xin Yuan in the morning.
The presence of pheasants means there should be eggs.
I just don't know where to find it.
"Do you want to eat eggs?" Xin Yuan heard Wen Li's words.
Wen Li pointed at the tomatoes and said, "Yeah, they're delicious when fried with this."
Xin Yuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "I know where it is. Wait here for me for a while."
This area is relatively safe and very close to the tribe.
Wen Li knew that he was going hunting, and she couldn't help much if she went there, so it would be better for her to stay here.
She nodded. "Okay."
Xin Yuan glanced at her, turned and walked towards the back mountain.
After walking a few steps, he thought of something and turned back.
"This is for you."
Xin Yuan handed over something.
Wen Li looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would give her something.
I reached out to take it and found it was a golden bead.
"What is this?" Wen Li asked curiously.
Xin Yuan explained: "If you carry this, I can sense your breath. If there is any danger, I will rush back as soon as possible."
Sounds like a tracker.
Wen Li nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand."
After handing the things to Wen Li, Xin Yuan walked towards the back mountain again.
Wen Li was waiting there, playing with the golden bead in her hand.
The beads are crystal clear in the sunlight and as beautiful as crystal.
Wen Li twisted it in her hand and looked at it for a while, but still couldn't guess what it was.
It’s better to put it away first, Wen Li thought.
After Xin Yuan left, she stood there waiting boredly.
Not knowing how long it would take him to come back, Wen Li found a shady place to sit.
As soon as my butt touched the ground, I heard a loud "bang" coming from the direction of the back mountain.
Wen Li was startled and stood up instantly.
Many birds were startled from the direction where the sound came from.
“…Oh my god!”
Wen Li cursed softly and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
She couldn't see what was happening over there from here.
The only thing you can do is stand there and wait anxiously.
After all, if there is really danger, she doesn't have the ability to solve it.
This feeling is really bad.
Wen Li's whole face wrinkled.
After the noise ended, the surroundings became quiet again.
Quiet and eerie.
Wen Li suddenly had a bad premonition.
Suddenly, she thought of Xin Yuan's words and took out the beads from her pocket again.
She remembered Xin Yuan saying that with the beads, he could sense her breath.
Wen Li held the beads in her palm, her mind in a mess.
She remembered what Meng Yu had said not long ago about stray animals. She wondered if Xin Yuan had encountered a stray animal.
Just as Wen Li was thinking this, a dark shadow was approaching her secretly.
A strong fishy smell flashed past Wen Li's nose, and she shuddered all over and turned around suddenly.
Before Wen Li could react, her body flew out heavily and a huge beast knocked her to the ground.
It was a huge black wolf with a fierce look on its face and a gleam of excitement in its eyes.
The sharp and huge wolf claws pressed on Wen Li's chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She was sure that if the other party pressed hard with his wolf claws, all her internal organs would burst out.
"Female!" The black wolf opened and closed its mouth, and its foul breath rushed towards Wen Li. "I'm lucky to have encountered a lone female."
Black Wolf spoke excitedly, his sharp nails hooking the hair in front of Wen Li.
When he saw Wen Li's face clearly, the excitement in Heilang's eyes suddenly disappeared.
"What an ugly thing." Black Wolf said without mercy.
“…”
Wen Li, who was originally frightened, felt like an arrow hit her heart.
No, you are sick, why are you making personal attacks on me?
"Let me go..."
Wen Li was just about to speak to persuade the black wolf in front of her.
Since you think she is ugly, you might as well let her go.
Little did she know that before she could even open her mouth, Black Wolf muttered again, "Kill him."
Wen Li felt something heavy pressing against her chest. This black wolf really intended to kill her.
There was nothing else she could do at the moment; she was completely speechless.
My chest was squeezed, and every word I uttered became a breathy sound.
Her face was ferocious, and looked extremely ugly to the Black Wolf, who increased the strength of his hands.
Wen Li really felt like she was going to die.
How could she be so unlucky...
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by.
Wen Li felt her body lighten, and the heavy object on her chest disappeared.
The black wolf that was on top of her took off into the air and flew towards the woods.
"Bang--!"
The black wolf's body hit the tree hard, breaking it into two pieces.
