Chapter 160 Encounter
Chapter 160 Encounter
After breakfast, Mu Yunyun called Langya to find Jiang Tong and go to the Dark Forest together.
Since everyone has some free time today, let's go find some ginger and garlic, and also learn about some herbs.
Meat without garlic loses half its flavor.
Ginger is also key to removing the fishy smell from many foods.
Upon receiving the order, Wolf Fang used a teleportation technique to quickly teleport to the entrance of the witch doctor's cave.
Jiang Tong was outside the cave, helping the witch doctor dry herbs. When she heard that she was going to the Dark Forest with Mu Yunyun, she turned around, said something, and left with Langya.
Jiang Jin, the witch doctor, was very pleased. The Jiang family lineage was finally going to grow stronger under her leadership.
Mu Yunyun was preparing to leave, leaving her three children at home.
Jin Yan, Ting Yu, and Lang Ya stayed at home to take care of them.
It's just a matter of picking a few ingredients; there's no need for so many people to go.
Consciousness calls to the ducks.
"Hey duck, I want ginger, garlic, cilantro, and houttuynia cordata. Do you have any of those in the Dark Forest, according to the 'Beast World Materia Medica'?"
[Host, according to the "Compendium of Materia Medica," ginger and garlic exist in the Dark Forest, though their names and appearances differ from those on Earth.]
Cilantro and houttuynia cordata can only be found in the Wisdom Forest and the Poisonous Fog Swamp.
"Then let's go to the Dark Forest first and find some garlic and ginger."
With everything planned out, Hao Bai transformed into a Great Snow Owl, carrying the Jade Fox, the Great Serpent, Mu Yunyun, and Jiang Tong, and set off.
On the other side, Hua Fei and the other person had already woken up, but Hua Bei's foot was still not getting better and instead began to turn black and swollen.
This greatly worried the two of them.
It's obvious that the clams are poisoned.
Hua Fei can heal injured orcs, but he is helpless against poisoned orcs.
The spotted hyenas are not strong, but they like to rip open anuses and eat carrion; the freshest flesh is always given to Chief Spotty.
Over time, the body will naturally accumulate a lot of various toxins.
Hua Bei also felt that he was poisoned and panicked. He just wanted to return to the tribe and did not want to die in the wilderness.
"Hua Fei, promise me, no matter what happens to me, you will take me home."
The toxins attacked rapidly, causing his entire body to heat up and his mind to become somewhat unclear.
Not daring to delay for even a moment, Hua Fei helped him out of the cave and headed towards the Bamboo Bear Paradise.
Just as Hua Fei was about to take him away by escaping underground, Hua Bei completely fainted, revealing his true form as a giant bamboo bear.
Hua Fei was immediately at a loss. Forget about hiding underground, he transformed into his original form as a bamboo bear, picked up Hua Bei, and ran away.
Silently pray that nothing bad will happen.
It's obviously too late to rush back to the Bamboo Bear Paradise now, so we can only find a nearby tribe and seek help from their shaman.
The giant bamboo bear was indeed frightened, anxiously circling on the ground, struggling to decide which tribe to go to.
The Gale-Spotted Hyenas behind us are definitely out of the question, Beast City on the right is too far away, and the Four-Tailed Silver Fox on the left doesn't seem close either.
The Silver Moon Wolf Clan ahead is too small; it's unclear if they have a shaman.
I'm so conflicted, so incredibly conflicted.
At this moment, he truly regretted not listening to Hua Bei's advice to visit these tribes first.
Finally, having no other choice, he could only try his luck with the nearest Silver Moon Wolf Clan, and his route of action happened to coincide perfectly with Mu Yunyun's.
At this moment, Mu Yunyun and her group had approached the area and, following the voice prompts of the mallard, landed on a damp, sandy patch of soil.
[Host, this is the place. This is Baila Ginger, the place where ginger grows.]
"Hundred-spice ginger, that's quite a unique name."
All that could be seen were tall, lush green stems covered with clusters of long, green leaves.
At the bottom is a pink ring, similar to ginger on Earth, but several times larger.
"This is it, the spicy ginger, the one I want is right here in the soil."
"Okay, Yunyun, let me do it."
Hao Bai looked excited and happily reached out to pull it out.
Cang Xuanyu and Qi Yan also joined in, and they easily lifted the one-meter-tall Bai La Jiang.
The underground rhizomes are yellowish-brown, and broken rhizomes emit a refreshing ginger aroma.
"Yes, it's ginger."
Mu Yunyun was overjoyed. She reached out and took the large piece of root from Haobai, explaining to Jiang Tong:
"Tongtong, this is spicy ginger, also called fresh ginger. It can stop vomiting, detoxify, remove fishy smells and enhance aroma. It is an indispensable ingredient for making delicious food."
Jiang Tong nodded repeatedly. She and the witch doctor had never picked this herb before and had no idea about its effects.
As the two were talking, the duck's excited voice broadcast started.
[Host, two bamboo bears are approaching you. One of them has been bitten by a spotted hyena and is poisoned.]
[This direction should lead us to the Silvermoon Wolf Clan to seek help from their tribal shaman.]
"Bamboo Bear, you've been poisoned. Do you need help?"
"Also, what kind of bear is a bamboo bear? A giant panda?"
[Host, it looks just like you think, similar to a giant panda.]
Giant pandas? This completely changed Mu Yunyun's understanding of pandas.
You have to understand, back on Earth, it was impossible for someone like Mu Yunyun, a mere laborer, to go to the zoo, but she could still browse her phone and take a look around.
What little girl wouldn't love those fluffy, adorable little balls!
Just then, the jade fox and the giant snake quickly approached them, alerting them.
"Yunyun, someone is coming this way."
"Yes, should we leave?"
"Yes, yes, let's leave first. Yunyun, is Bai La Jiang enough?"
Since Mu Yunyun became their weakness, the three high-ranking orcs have become extremely cautious and respectful, fearing that she might be harmed in the slightest.
"It's alright, they're just two giant pandas, not bamboo bear beastmen, they should be very friendly."
"Bamboo bear?"
Mu Yunyun trusted the duck's judgment; since it had said so, they must be two adorable chubby little balls.
As she was lost in thought, a large black and white bear appeared before them.
Mu Yunyun's eyes widened in disbelief.
What giant panda? Isn't this an elephant? Or rather, a giant panda even bigger than an elephant.
Hua Fei, carrying Hua Bei on his back, had grown twice as tall as he was already seven or eight meters, almost making Mu Yunyun's jaw drop.
Upon encountering other orcs, Hua Fei slammed on the brakes. Sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking his fur, and he said somewhat foolishly:
"I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a panic. My partner has been poisoned."
"Excuse me, is this the Silver Moon Wolf Clan tribe? Do they have a shaman?"
Hua Fei bent down, trying his best to maintain his balance so that the unconscious Hua Bei wouldn't fall off his back. He took the opportunity to pant heavily, waiting for the others to answer.
Before asking the question, he glanced at them briefly. There were three high-level orcs and two females. He was in a hurry and probably didn't have time to see their faces clearly.
As for Mu Yunyun's stunning beauty, he didn't even get a good look at it.
Mu Yunyun snapped out of her shock. This was the Beast World Continent, so it wasn't surprising to find such large giant pandas.
Moreover, the bamboo bear beast form in front of them is actually quite similar to Tingyu and Haobai.
Only the Golden Lion, Wolf Fang, Jade Fox, and Great Serpent will be slightly smaller.
Before the beastman could speak, in the consciousness space, the duck was already excitedly jumping around.
[Host, it's an adorable bamboo bear! A fourth-tier purple high-level talent, wouldn't you want it?]
This is the most comfortable male orc to sleep on!
[Quickly, save his companion! It's just a bit of spotted hyena venom, not fatal. The dandelion from the bush on the left, combined with the snow lotus I have here, will be the antidote.]
[Go, take him down.]
Mu Yunyun was speechless as she listened to Ma Ya rattle off a long string of words like a machine gun.
Clearly, this was premeditated.
He wanted her, to add her to his ranks of beastly husbands.
"Well, you don't need to go. We can save him here."
In a daze, a sweet female voice, like heavenly music, entered Hua Fei's ears.
He looked in the direction of the sound as if grasping at a straw.
Mu Yunyun's stunningly beautiful face fell into his dark, starry eyes.
