Shen Miao was so engrossed in picking matsutake mushrooms that she unknowingly wandered into a relatively deep part of the forest.
She looked up and found that it was dark all around, with the light blocked by tall trees, as if she had entered a primeval forest.
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to turn back, a wild boar suddenly rushed out of the woods. The boar seemed to have been startled from somewhere and charged straight at Shen Miao.
If this had hit Shen Miao, she would probably have been crippled or killed.
Shen Miao quickly dodged, and the matsutake mushrooms she had picked up scattered all over the ground like flowers falling from the sky.
She didn't care about anything else. She nimbly rolled on the ground and heard a loud crash behind her. A tree the size of a bowl had been snapped in two. It turned out that the wild boar hadn't hit anyone, but had the bad luck of hitting a tree instead.
This knocked the wild boar unconscious.
Shen Miao acted decisively, grabbed an arm-length knife from the supermarket shelf, leaped up, and stabbed it viciously into the wild boar's belly.
The wild boar let out a miserable howl and struggled frantically, but because it had been wounded in a fatal spot, it only struggled a few times before its four hooves kicked out and it died.
Shen Miao looked at her hands in disbelief. She had just dealt with a wild boar so easily?
How could she be so strong? Wild boar hides are very thick, and even orcs would have a hard time piercing their bodies in one go. Although their tools are not very good, their strength is much greater than that of female beasts.
It is said that people can unleash tremendous potential when they are in danger, and perhaps she is like that too.
Shen Miao comforted herself in this way, but dared not linger here any longer. The wild boar had lost so much blood, it would soon attract wild beasts, and then things would really be terrible.
She grabbed some soft soil to cover the blood, then dragged the wild boar down the mountain as fast as she could.
When Shen Miao returned to the wooden house, the sun had just set. She put the wild boar down in the open space in front of the house and sat down on the ground, panting.
Hearing the commotion, the little ones inside ran out to check and saw Shen Miao sitting on the ground in a very unladylike manner, with a wild boar weighing about 200 pounds next to her.
The cubs were extremely surprised, with Da Bao being the most astonished. The vicious female beast had actually caught prey, and it was a wild boar at that.
Although they were still young, they had heard their father say that wild boars were quite ferocious prey, and even weaker orcs had a hard time dealing with them. How did she manage to do it?!
Seeing the shocked looks on the children's faces, Shen Miao couldn't help but feel a little smug. She had rested enough, so she stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said to the children, "Quickly get out the stone knives. Let's take care of this wild boar today and have a big feast tonight!"
"Oh." The cubs ran to the kitchen in a daze and got the stone knife. Only after handing it to Shen Miao did they realize why they had listened to the wicked female beast.
Da Bao stomped his foot, as if he was angry with himself.
Shen Miao noticed his action and thought it was cute, but unfortunately his hands were dirty and he couldn't touch the little one.
Just as Shen Miao dragged the wild boar back, many people in the tribe heard that Shen Miao, that useless female beast, had actually hunted a wild boar, and many beastmen and female beasts came to watch the excitement.
When they saw Shen Miao wielding a stone knife and ruthlessly dismembering the wild boar into eight pieces, both the beastmen and the female beasts were shocked.
It's actually true. Judging from Shen Miao's nimble movements, no one would believe that she didn't hunt the wild boar.
For a moment, everyone was filled with envy, but they were only envious. As long as the orcs in their homes were normal and not lazy, they could still hunt wild boars.
Of all the people in the room, only Green Pearl was genuinely jealous. She was green with envy at the sight of those pieces of meat, wondering how long they could last and wishing she could have a few pieces.
Thinking of this, Green Pearl couldn't help but come up and ask, "Shen Miao, did you really hunt this? When did you become so good at it?"
"It's alright," Shen Miao glanced at Lü Zhu and replied indifferently.
Green Pearl, unwilling to give up, said again, "This wild boar is so big, your family can't finish it, right? If it's left out for too long, the wild boar meat will go bad, and it won't taste good."
Shen Miao paused, realizing she hadn't really thought about that question.
They have six beasts in total, which is quite a lot, but four of them are cubs. No matter how much they eat, they can't compare to the adult beastmen and female beastmen. So it seems that they really need to find a way to deal with this wild boar meat.
Seeing that she seemed to understand, Green Pearl quickly said, "I have many beasts at home, they can help you."
Shen Miao laughed.
Helping her out means eating pork for her? How can someone be so shameless? How could she say something like that? Her skin is truly thick.
"No need for you to worry, I already have a solution," Shen Miao said calmly.
Green Pearl was somewhat disappointed and was about to say something when she heard Shen Miao raise her voice and say to the crowd, "Everyone, if you are short of meat at home recently, you can bring animal hides to me to exchange for some meat. Disabled beastmen will be given priority."
Upon hearing this, the orcs fell silent for a moment, then stirred. The strong orcs naturally scoffed, but those who had been injured while hunting and were no longer able to hunt were overjoyed.
Some of the orcs, having been injured, could only eat wild grass to stave off hunger and had not eaten meat for who knows how long.
Some of the more impatient ones couldn't wait to go back and get their animal hides.
Shen Miao doesn't seem so annoying to everyone anymore.
Green Pearl felt very uncomfortable. Today, everyone's attention was almost entirely on Shen Miao, which already made her unhappy. On top of that, she didn't get any benefit, which made her even more depressed.
At this moment, he couldn't help but whisper, "I think everyone should not be in such a hurry. Although Shen Miao said that animal hides can be exchanged for wild boar meat, have you thought about how many animal hides it takes to exchange for one piece of pork?"
The beastmen, eager to return home, hesitated upon hearing this.
Yes, Shen Miao didn't say how much animal hide to exchange for a piece of meat. Everyone knows her character; you could say she has no character whatsoever. If she asks for an exorbitant price later, it really won't be worth it.
After all, their animal hides didn't just fall from the sky.
Shen Miao looked at Lü Zhu, gave a cold laugh, and said bluntly, "I'll make my point right here: it's really difficult to exchange a piece of animal hide for such a large piece of meat. If you don't need the animal hide, some wild vegetables will do."
Green Pearl's eyes lit up. Wild vegetables would do? She could just pick a few by the roadside. But before she could be happy for long, Shen Miao glanced at her and added, "Except for Green Pearl, even if she brought animal hides, I wouldn't trade them for her."
Green Pearl's eyes reddened instantly after being publicly humiliated by Shen Miao, and she said softly, "Shen Miao, why are you targeting me like this?"
"Because you're annoying." Shen Miao retorted without even looking up.
