Chapter 181 Spirit Devouring Beast
Chapter 181 Spirit Devouring Beast
Wulan's displeasure instantly surged like a tidal wave. Her delicate face twisted slightly in anger as she shouted, "What a lousy rule! This didn't even exist in our tribe before!"
A busy female stopped what she was doing, looked up, and replied with a firm look in her eyes, "This is what the Chosen One has decreed."
Wu Lan's face was full of disdain, and he sneered, "What a bullshit rule! I object!"
The female didn't back down and raised her voice: "This is what the leader agreed to. He didn't object. Why do you object?"
"The leaders all acknowledge the changes and order that the Chosen One has brought to the tribe, yet you are acting unreasonably here."
Wu Lan was choked by these words and was speechless for a moment, but the flames of stubbornness and unwillingness still burned in her eyes.
She knew very well that it would be difficult to gain the upper hand in an argument with everyone in this situation, but the resentment in her heart caused by being bound by the rules could not be calmed down.
She glared fiercely at the female who was speaking, then looked at Nan Qiao who was preparing bird eggshells not far away, gritted her teeth, turned around and stomped away. Her back looked particularly angry in the light of the fire.
After a while, Nan Qiao picked up the eggshell and began to divide the broth.
Wulan woke up in the stone house and when she arrived, she was only given a pitiful mouthful of soup at the bottom of the pot and a sweet potato.
She held the pitiful amount of food, swallowed the soup in two or three mouthfuls, and quickly finished the sweet potato. She thought it was the most delicious food in the world.
After finishing the meal, she still felt unsatisfied and the gluttony in her stomach was still stirring.
Her eyes wandered around, and when she saw that there were still some sweet potatoes left in Gru's hand, a hint of desire flashed in her eyes.
Wulan twisted her waist, put on a flattering smile on her face, moved close to Gru, spoke softly and sweetly, and successfully got a sweet potato.
The females nearby couldn't help but sneer when they saw this scene.
A female said disdainfully, "Isn't she hanging out with Bartel all day?"
"Now Bater wants to pursue an adult as a partner, and Kamu ignores her, so she starts looking for a new target?"
Another female chimed in, "Humph, looking at her like that, I'm afraid she'll seduce several males just for a little food. Bah, how shameless!"
Wu Lan on the side rolled her eyes and ate the sweet potato in her hand leisurely, her eyes full of resentment towards Nan Qiao.
Just wait for me!
Nan Qiao just laughed at Wulan's actions and didn't take them to heart.
The next morning, Nan Qiao was thinking about making bacon, so he got up and went into the primeval forest to look for suitable ingredients.
The forest was filled with morning mist, and Nan Qiao's eyes searched among the dense vegetation.
She discovered some wild plants with a pungent smell. Although they are different from modern peppercorns, the spicy aroma may help remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor when curing bacon.
In addition to pickled bacon, you can also add some to stir-fries to enhance the flavor.
Nan Qiao's eyes lit up. From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about the dishes or soups having no taste!
In addition, Nan Qiao also noticed several herbs with thick leaves and a special fragrance, similar to mint but with a different flavor, which can be used to add a unique taste.
After searching for a long time, Nan Qiao finally found a salt-rich mineral by a wet stream.
She carefully knocked off a few pieces, thinking that after crushing them, she should be able to extract enough salt to cure bacon, so she could take some back and try to extract it.
Nan Qiao focused on collecting ore, hammering the stone hammer in his hand rhythmically, and pieces of salt-rich ore were carefully removed and placed in the space.
At this moment, a slight movement by the stream caught her attention.
She looked up and saw a small snow-white animal lying by the stream drinking water.
The little animal looked extremely peculiar, combining the playfulness of a cat and the agility of a fox. Its furry white fur shone with a soft luster in the dim light, which was extremely adorable.
Nan Qiao was secretly surprised. She had never seen such a cute creature before. It seemed that there were all kinds of creatures in this primeval forest.
After collecting enough ore, Nan Qiao turned and walked towards the woods, ready to collect those leaves with a spicy smell.
To her surprise, the little white beast followed her closely.
There was no fear in its little eyes, but instead a glint of curiosity and intimacy, as if it was certain that Nan Qiao would not hurt it.
After a while, the little animal started to play happily around Nan Qiao. It jumped and chased its tail, and then scratched Nan Qiao's ankles with its little claws, showing its intimacy.
Suddenly, the little animal seemed to have discovered some new game. It opened its little mouth and a stream of water spurted out like a small water gun.
The water drew an arc in the air and splashed onto the grass not far away.
The little animal seemed addicted to playing, spitting out water non-stop, and the water droplets sparkled with crystal light in the sunlight.
Nan Qiao watched quietly from the side, secretly amazed. She really couldn't imagine how much water this little animal had drunk by the stream to be able to spray so continuously.
Nan Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his thoughts instantly drifted back to the Flower Country.
Every year, their country faces the huge project of diverting water from the South to the North, with floods and droughts ravaging different regions alternately.
If this little beast could store a large amount of water, absorb the water into its body in places with abundant water sources, and then release it in dry areas, wouldn't it be able to become a powerful helper in alleviating drought?
Although they now have space bags, they cannot store water at all and can only be used to store water in containers. It is not as convenient as the little beasts to store water.
Nan Qiao felt excited as she realized that this little beast might have value far beyond her imagination. It was not only a lovely forest elf, but also the key factor in changing the plight of nature.
Nan Qiao looked at the little animal that was still happily spitting water, and she had an idea in her mind. She decided to take the little animal back and ask Kamu about it.
Find out what kind of animal it is and the extent of its amazing water storage capacity.
She quickly picked the leaves she needed, then squatted down, looked at the little beast with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "Little guy, are you willing to come with me?"
The little beast seemed to understand her words. It blinked its smart eyes, suddenly jumped lightly, and jumped steadily into Nan Qiao's arms.
Nan Qiao took the opportunity to hug it, feeling the soft and warm body of the little animal. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he set off to return to the Stone Tribe.
After returning to the tribe, Nan Qiao went straight to find Kamu, who was sitting on a large rock in the center of the tribe, polishing the stone spear in his hand.
Nan Qiao walked forward holding the little animal and said, "Kamu, I found this little creature in the forest. What kind of animal is this?"
Kamu's gaze fell on the little beast, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he slowly said: "This is the Spirit Devouring Beast."
"It's a magical creature, capable of swallowing everything. At the Hundred Tribes Conference, some tribes used it to transport food and supplies."
