"They don’t eat this fruit directly; it’s used as a seasoning. When cooking meat soup, you cut it open and put it in. Eating it like you are definitely won’t do," Yan Mo reminded Xia Yue, who had grabbed and started eating one without him noticing.

"You’re just like that little glutton, putting whatever you see straight into your mouth, hahaha," Ziluo teased Xia Yue with a laugh.

"Shut up," Xia Yue responded, unamused.

"When we cook later, we can try using this salty fruit and this oily fruit and see how the dishes turn out," Wei Se suggested, pointing to a yellow oily fruit beside them.

"Let’s try it now. We didn’t eat lunch anyway, so it’s a good time for a little food," Xia Yue said, wanting to taste it immediately.

"What do you feel like making?" Yan Mo asked.

"Just noodles, keep it simple. If the taste isn’t good, we won’t waste too much," Xia Yue suggested after some thought.

"Let’s go, let’s get started," Ziluo, taking an oily fruit and a salty fruit, urged them on.

Xia Yue stood up and went with her to the cooking area.

They took out a pot and grabbed a few pieces of dough.

Since they weren’t cooking much, Ziluo cut just a bit of both the oily and the salty fruits.

They cooked a pot of noodles the usual way.

"The taste seems not bad, it has a refreshing fruitiness," Xia Yue commented after trying a mouthful.

Then she served four bowls and brought them over to Wei Se and Yan Mo.

"Try it. The flavor is pretty good," Xia Yue said, and she and Ziluo started eating from their bowls.

Seeing them enjoying their meal, Yan Mo and Wei Se also started eating.

"The flavor is indeed good. It’s refreshing, like fruit. No wonder so many tribes are willing to trade for it," Wei Se remarked after a bite.

"They’re not fools. If it wasn’t tasty, the big tribes wouldn’t offer it for trade," Xia Yue stated.

"Can you guys grow these fruits? I think we could take them back to Blue Star. As a new product, they could attract a lot of tourists," Yan Mo suggested after a couple of bites, looking at Xia Yue and Ziluo.

"I’m not sure, we could try. The fruits have seeds, but we should wait until we’re back with the Sky Tiger Tribe to try. If we plant them here, I’m afraid they might be discovered, and that wouldn’t be good," Ziluo explained.

"Then save the seeds, and we’ll try when we get back. The gathering ends in five days, so let’s collect more plant seeds from around here during that time," Yan Mo said.

"Understood."

Within those five days, they collected a variety of seeds, with many tribes showing interest in their fruits and herbal medicines.

Over the five days, several tribes that had finished trading gradually left.

Xia Yue and her group waited until the last day to depart.

Hu Ya had already left three days earlier with people from the Sky Tiger Tribe, White Wolf Tribe, and Ape Tribe.

After leaving the tribe, Xia Yue and her group quickly made their way until they caught up with Hu Ya.

They secretly messaged Hu Ya to let him know they were following.

Upon receiving the message, Hu Ya was relieved. He had been worrying whether they had kept up during the journey.

Now that he knew they were with them, he could relax.

After seven or eight days of travel, they reached the fork in the road where they would part ways with the White Wolf Tribe and the Ape Tribe. The others split off.

Then Xia Yue and her group finally revealed themselves and followed Hu Ya back to their tribe.

"You finally showed up; I’ve been so worried," Hu Ya couldn’t help saying when he saw them.

"What’s there to worry about? We’re much stronger than you guys," Xia Yue said, laughing at his worried expression.

"Are you guys those Plant Beastmen?" Hu Ya asked, noticing there were no other tribes around.

"Smart, congratulations on getting it right, but there’s no prize," Ziluo said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Are you really those Plant Beastmen? I heard you can turn into plants. How do you manage that?" Hu Ya asked in amazement.

"Maybe we really are Plant Beastmen," Xia Yue said with a smile.

"No way, you clearly are... oh, you really are Plant Beastmen?" Hu Ya blurted out in denial, then seemed to recall something and abruptly changed his tune.

"You seem to know more about Plant Beastmen than us. What do you know?" Ziluo teased, noting his hasty correction, and said with a laugh.

"I don’t know anything, hehe. We’ve been gone for quite some time now; the tribe must be missing us. Didn’t you say the sweet potatoes are about to ripen? Let’s not idle away the time chatting. We should hurry on our way," Hu Ya feigned ignorance and changed the subject.

"We’ve been away for almost a month, and we won’t make it back in time for the harvest. Thankfully, the Clan Leader and the Priest will help out, so there’s no need for you to worry," Yan Mo reassured him.

"Is that so? Well, we’d better hurry then. There are just a few days left, and it’s a good idea to return quickly. There seems to be something going on over there; I’ll go have a look. You keep chatting," Hu Ya said, then bolted off, vanishing in a flash.

"Hahahaha, this guy’s really amusing," Xia Yue chuckled, watching him run off.

"Cowardly but curious, hahaha," Ziluo joined in the laughter.

"When we get back, the Clan Leader and the Priest should realize we are the ones the Beast God spoke of.

I just wonder if they’ll contact the leaders of the large tribes about us," Yan Mo mused.

"I don’t think they’ll go directly to them, but they’ll probably want to have a chat with us first to see our stance before deciding," Xia Yue speculated.

"Should we let them tell other tribes about us?" Ziluo questioned.

"For now, let’s not. After the Sky Tiger Tribe has harvested the sweet potatoes, we can reveal it. Even if they know about us, they won’t trust us without proof. The saying ’those who are not of our kindred are sure to have a different heart’ is universal.

However, if we show achievements, they’ll trust us more, and that should complete the first phase of our mission.

It’ll make the second phase easier," Yan Mo shook his head, knowing that having concrete results would make a difference.

"He’s right. As long as the Sky Tiger Tribe has a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and everyone’s fed,

the attitude of other tribes towards us will improve. Having enough to eat is very important in this world," Wei Se agreed with Yan Mo’s points.

"Alright, we’ll go with that when the Clan Leader comes to us," Xia Yue nodded in agreement.

Sky Tiger Tribe

The Clan Leader and the Priest, following Yan Mo’s instructions, organized help from tribe members to harvest the sweet potatoes when they didn’t return as scheduled.

Watching the sweet potatoes being dug up, the Clan Leader and the Priest’s hearts warmed at the sight of the abundance.

Once their own crops were harvested, they wouldn’t have to worry about hunger for the winter.

Together with the potatoes they would plant later, they could look forward to eating heartily this winter.

The very thought was delightful.
