Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 518 Good stuff!
Wu Yue handed the bamboo jar that was placed aside to Chief Dong Sang: "We only have one bamboo jar left. Please give the rest to Chief Dong Sang."

The Dongsang clan chief was overjoyed and hurriedly took the bamboo jar, tucking it into his bosom.

"If Lord Wuyue ever concocts such a seasoning again in the future, please be sure to let me know, and I will go to exchange it later."

He got up and went to a recessed area at the very back of the cave, where he took out a package wrapped in animal hide: "Lord Wuyue, please take a look. These are herbs and some items left behind by the shamans of our tribe. If there are any usable items, please take them with you."

The Dongsang tribe no longer has a shaman, so these herbs are useless to them.

Wu Yue smiled and accepted the package, carefully opening it. Inside were mostly herbs, many of which Wu Yue had never seen before.

She collected the herbs she didn't recognize and set them aside, leaving the remaining stones and animal hides untouched.

"Ok?"

Just as she was about to tie up the package and return it to Chief Dongsang, a white blob caught her attention.

"what is this?"

The palm-sized white object was slightly yellowish and looked like lard from some kind of animal.

Chief Dongsang chuckled dryly: "This is the oil from the earthworm."

"A ground worm? Such a big worm?"

The piece of grease appears to have been cut in half, indicating that the earthworm is not small.

Chief Dongsang nodded: "Earthworms are insects that live underground. Adult earthworms are as thick as an orc warrior's thigh. They have no eyes and only come to the surface to lay eggs."

His face scrunched up: "There are too many earthworms in our territory, so the tribesmen are very careful every time they come out to lay eggs."

"Could these earthworms attack people?"

Chief Dongsang smiled wryly: "The earthworms don't attack people, but they like to go near warm places when they lay their eggs. However, their bodies are easily ignited if they come into contact with fire. So every year when the earthworms lay their eggs, no one uses fire, and the tribe is easily attacked by wild animals."

Wu Yue nodded: "You have too few orc warriors and orc warriors."

Chief Dongsang nodded: "Yes."

Unlike orcs and half-orc warriors, pure-blooded males do not have eyes that allow them to see clearly at night; they need the help of a campfire.

Therefore, the time when earthworms lay their eggs is also the most dangerous time for the tribes.

“I’ve also taken the oil from this earthworm.”

Upon hearing this, Chief Dongsang laughed and said, "Take it if you want, but be careful not to let it get close to the fire. Although the oil inside the earthworm will not be ignited by fire, it will turn into something like water and be very hot to the touch."

Wu Yue's heart stirred, and she smiled as she put away the earthworm oil.

"Host, judging from your lewd smile, have you found some good stuff again?"

Wu Yue's smile froze: "Damn system, I'll give you a chance to speak properly."

Sensing the threat in its host's tone, the system instantly lowered its short legs, and put the half-eaten candied hawthorn back into its little space: "Host, my system just malfunctioned a bit. Have you found something good again? Do you need me to provide you with any services?"

Wu Yue snorted coldly: "I'll talk to you tonight."

Footsteps came from the cave entrance. The group looked up and saw that it was Awa, the companion of the Dongsang chieftain.

She held a gray fruit about the size of a football in her hands. The clear patterns on the fruit's surface added a touch of brightness to its dull gray appearance.

"Lord Wuyue, this is a stone-skin fruit unique to our tribe's territory. It is very juicy and the flesh is very sweet. If any member of the tribe is burned by fire, applying the flesh of the stone-skin fruit to the burned area will make them feel much better the next day."

Chief Dongsang gave Awa an approving look, then extended his sharp fingertip and made a cut on the surface of the stone fruit. With a gentle pry, he broke the gray fruit in half, revealing the white flesh inside.

A sweet fragrance wafted through the cave.

Wu Yue took a deep breath: "It smells wonderful."

Seeing that Wu Yue liked the smell of the stone fruit, the Dong Sang chieftain's smile deepened, and he handed her half of the stone fruit: "You can try it, it tastes very good too."

Although Chief Dongsang easily lifted half of the stone-skin fruit, Wuyue had no doubt about its weight when she saw the thick, tender flesh inside.

A large, well-defined hand reached out from beside her and steadily caught the half of the stone fruit: "I'll help you take out the flesh."

Chief Dongsang looked at his empty hands and then at Wu Yue's petite figure, and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, Warrior Yuanlang is truly a guardian beastman who cares about you."

Wu Yue just smiled and didn't say anything.

Ava, sitting behind him, cast another envious glance at him.

"Moon, have a taste."

In the stone bowl were several pieces of stone fruit that had already been scooped out with a spoon. Wu Yue picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The icy-cold flesh seemed to have been chilled in a refrigerator, making her feel cool all over.

"so comfortable."

She looked at Awa behind Chief Dongsang: "Where was this fruit placed before?"

Ava chuckled and scratched his head: "There's a stone-skin fruit tree near the tribe. I just went out and picked these fruits from the tree."

Wu Yue paused, looking at her in surprise: "Just collected it?"

She looked at the fruit pulp in the stone bowl in disbelief: "Then why is this fruit pulp as cold as ice and snow in winter?"

The Dong Sang clan chief, who had been somewhat puzzled, burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Haha, Lord Wu Yue, that's how the Stone Skin Fruit is. The flesh looks like it's been stored in ice and snow for a long time, so it's very comfortable for people with burns to apply it."

However, the therapeutic effect diminishes after the fruit has been open for a while, and the taste of the fruit is not as good as when it was freshly opened.

Even Wu Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "What a miraculous fruit!"

Chief Dongsang glanced at his partner behind him, and Awa silently left the cave.

"Lord Wuyue, please stay in this cave for the time being. This is where I usually live, and it is the largest cave in the tribe."

Wu Yue didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Then thank you, Chief Dong Sang."

Chief Dongsang asked a few more questions about the corn kernels before leaving.

"Tongzi, come and identify this earthworm oil and stone skin fruit."

"Ding~ 20 points deducted for appraisal fee."

"The identification process begins!"

"Insect wax, a secretion of earthworms, is pure white in color and can be used to make candles."

"The stone fruit is juicy and delicious, but it is cold in nature. Young animals and females should not eat too much of it, and pregnant females should not eat it. The pulp can treat some skin diseases and burns, and can be used for physical antipyretics."
