Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 274 Poisonous Root OR Taro
Both men looked very serious. The orc warrior didn't dare to delay and immediately nodded and went into the cave to report.

A moment later, he came running out: "The shaman wants you to go in."

The two exchanged a glance, and after thanking the orc warrior, they went into the cave on their own.

The shaman and the chieftain were still sitting in their previous positions, looking at the two people who entered the cave with some confusion: "Why are you back again?"

Yuan Lang glanced at Wu Yue, who stepped forward and handed the taro that had just been given to Yuan Lang to the shaman: "Shaman, take a look at this."

They thought the shaman wouldn't recognize it, but to their surprise, the shaman frowned and looked directly at the taro in Wu Yue's hand: "Poison root? How did you bring this back to the tribe?"

Poisonous root?

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a glance; it seemed that Wu recognized this thing.

Wu Yue placed the taro in her hand on the ground and said, "Witch, this taro is the reason why Yuan Lang and I came to find you and the clan chief. It's something new that we discovered during our last public gathering."

Wu's face instantly darkened: "Nonsense, this is poisonous root. How could I not know that the sap of poisonous root will cause countless red bumps to grow on the skin, causing unbearable pain and itching."

Why do you call it food?

Seeing the shaman's anger, the chieftain immediately frowned and looked at the two outstanding young members of the tribe: "You don't know how dangerous this poisonous root is. In the past, some members of the tribe saw wild boars eating this poisonous root, so they dug up two and brought them back."

After consuming it, he found himself unable to breathe; his throat felt like it was being choked. If the shaman hadn't broken through his limitations and used his magical power to heal him, he would likely have died long ago.

The two men looked serious, and it wasn't an act, but Wu Yue knew the cause of their symptoms.

He then looked at Yuan Lang beside him and said, "Actually, Yuan Lang and I have eaten this taro many times, and we haven't experienced the symptoms you mentioned." Seeing the doubt in their eyes, he smiled and said, "When Yuan Lang and I ate it, we either roasted it over a fire or boiled it in boiling water."

But last time we applied the juice of raw taro to the team leaders, which is indeed poisonous.

Wu Yue's words made the two older tribal leaders roll their eyes in unison.

Although we already knew it was you two brats who did it, now that you've brought it up so directly, should we not punish you or not?
Having already decided what to do, the two pretended that the wind had been too strong and they hadn't heard what the other two were saying.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the two of them and asked, "You really ate it?"

Yuan Lang and Wu Yue nodded in unison: "We really ate it."

Seeing a small fire pit burning in the shaman's cave, Wu Yue took a whole taro from her woven bag and threw it in: "This taro will cook very quickly. The shaman and the chieftain will know soon enough."

The two big shots nodded and began to ask the two men about their first discovery of taro. After confirming that the taro in the two places they mentioned was the same, they became expectant of the little creature in the fire pit.

After a while, a truly fragrant aroma wafted from the fire pit. The smell was quite unique, yet it made people swallow their saliva.

Wu Yue naturally wouldn't do such physical labor, so he gave Yuan Lang a look: Go for it, brother, it's your time to shine.

Yuan Lang looked at her with amusement. What was there to show for her in something as simple as picking taro? The little female was afraid of getting burned, so she should just say so.
