Chapter 902: Chapter 891 Beastman Plane 9

Next, Hu Tu and Hu Lan, following Ziluo and Xia Yue’s example, began digging up the remaining sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Lord Wu Se had brought back a large pile of vines and started to weave baskets on the side to hold these sweet potatoes and potatoes; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to take them away.

Because they were digging with sticks, it took them three hours to dig out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the ground.

After finishing and resting for a while, Xia Yue and Ziluo watched over the sweet potatoes and potatoes while Lord Wu Se continued to take them to dig for herbal medicine.

It wasn’t until dusk, as it was almost dark, that Yan Mo and Hu Ya came out with the game they had hunted.

Seeing their happy expressions and the cart full of game, one could tell they were quite pleased with their results.

Once they came out, Hu Ya first let everyone stop to have a rest and eat something before they continued their journey back.

"Come and eat, we’ve made some food," Xia Yue called out to them.

They had roasted some sweet potatoes and potatoes, wanting them to try.

Initially, Hu Tu and Hu Lan didn’t allow it because there wasn’t much; they weren’t sufficient for everyone to eat, planning to keep them until spring to use as seeds to plant more.

Lord Wu Se told them that Hu Ya and others didn’t know whether these items were edible and if they brought them back, there would definitely be concerns. Now, by roasting some for them to try, after they had tasted, even without saying, Hu Ya would agree to take these items back.

Hu Tu and Hu Lan thought about it and felt this method made sense and stopped insisting.

Originally, according to Xia Yue and the others, each Beastman was to receive one sweet potato and one potato, but Hu Lan and Hu Tu felt many Beastmen carried dried meat, and considering the size of the potatoes and sweet potatoes, they deemed it unnecessary to give out so much—suggesting three people share one potato and one sweet potato.

Hearing this, Xia Yue almost thought that these two were from some other Beastmen Tribe, so harsh to their own tribe’s people.

Then, with force and persistence and considering the respect Hu Tu and Hu Lan now had for Lord Wu Se, in the end, Lord Wu Se decreed that two people share one potato and one sweet potato.

Including Hu Tu and Hu Lan, there were twenty Beastmen plus Xia Yue’s group of four, totaling twenty-four people.

Thus, there were twenty-four potatoes and twenty-four sweet potatoes.

Xia Yue had the Beastmen pair up to receive their potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"What is this?" Hu Ya looked at the dark sweet potatoes and potatoes, asking with a puzzled expression.

"It’s delicious, Captain Hu Ya, let your men line up quickly. Once you’ve eaten, you’ll definitely love it," Hu Tu said, standing next to Hu Ya.

"Have you eaten this?" Hu Ya casually asked.

"Yes, it was found by these two ladies. Lord Wu Se said it was edible. When we dug them out, they roasted some for me and Hu Lan to eat, and it was very delicious.

Lord Wu Se also said that these can be cultivated, that they yield a lot, and by spring, Lord Wu Se could teach us how to cultivate them. They are easy to store, so we won’t have to worry about starving in winter," Hu Tu nodded as he spoke.

"Really?!" Hu Ya instantly widened his eyes with excitement at the latter statement.

"Lord Wu Se told us this. He was worried you wouldn’t let us bring these items back, so we made some for you to try. Quickly, pull someone to share and try eating them," Hu Tu urged him.

Hu Ya felt it was worth trying and instantly pulled another Beastman to be the first to receive the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Xia Yue cut the sweet potatoes and potatoes in half and handed them over.

Upon being split, the sweet potatoes emitted a sweet scent.

Hu Ya couldn’t help but swallow his saliva; just from the smell alone, he knew they couldn’t go wrong.

Xia Yue demonstrated how to peel off the dark outer skin.

The other Beastmen watched for a while, and unable to wait for Hu Ya to say anything, followed Xia Yue’s movements, awkwardly peeling off the skin of the sweet potatoes and then took a bite.
