Second cut

Yun Long: "Our Mengshui Tribe wants some too."

People from the Red Zheng Tribe and True Scarlet Tribe also expressed that they could exchange this powder for goods in their tribes.

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe readily agreed, as having another specialty product would be a good thing for them.

It was getting late, so everyone helped Jian Mo and the others pack up the pots and ingredients.

Seeing that everyone was helping to scrape the powder off the Powdered Yellow-Cap Mushroom but were about to throw the mushrooms away, Jian Mo quickly said, "Don't throw them away yet. Let them dry on the ground. I'll take them with me tomorrow."

Those around them asked in confusion, "Isn't this mushroom useless? It tastes awful, why are you taking it back?"

Jian Mo said, "I'm wondering if I can take it back and plant it. If it can grow where we are, we can use fresh mushroom powder regularly."

Look at the mushroom, everyone. I don't quite understand.

Jian Mo thought it was feasible. Their tribe and the Sharp Teeth Tribe had similar climates and were not far apart. Powdered Yellow-Cap Mushroom could grow here, their tribe should be able to grow it too.

If you bring the mushrooms back, most of the time some of the spores will survive.

Jian Mo is well-liked, and many people are willing to listen to him.

He said he wanted it, so everyone helped him dry it.

Anyway, it'll be almost dry after air-drying overnight, so it's not a hassle.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went back to their temporary lodgings to sleep, and got up early the next morning to prepare for their journey.

They had already spent three nights and two days in the Sharp Teeth Tribe, and now it was time to set off again.

Over the past few days, everyone has exchanged a lot of useful information, traded for a lot of goods, and is looking forward to the rest of the trip.

Jian Mo felt the same way. This trip would take him past the Rain Rising Tribe, and he was quite interested in seeing the tribe of the Pallas's cats and visiting the fat chicks as well.

Wu Jiong said there was something going on between the two tribes, and this was a good opportunity for them to verify it.

When Jian Mo went outside to wash up, most people were already up, packing their things and getting ready to leave.

Jiujiu got up too.

This guy was playing with the little ones from the Sharp Teeth Tribe, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Jian Mo called out to it, "Jiujiu!"

Jiujiu lazily flapped its wings as a greeting. "Chirp."

Jian Mo took out some dried meat. "Come and have breakfast. Where's Ying'ao?"

Jiujiu slowly walked over, then slowly picked up the jerky and chewed on it, looking completely serene, as if it hadn't understood Jian Mo's words at all, let alone answered.

This guy seems to be deaf.

Jian Mo guessed what was going on and called out to Ban Ming, who was not far away, "Ban Ming, did you feed Jiujiu something this morning?"

Ban Ming straightened up. "Huh? I was catching fish outside this morning, and I saw that Jiujiu seemed to want some, so I fed it a little. What's wrong? Can't I feed it?"

Jian Mo took a deep breath. "Yes, it's possible. Has anyone else fed it?"

As Jian Mo shouted, the people around her looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Jiang Tou, an old orc from the same Riverside Tribe, said, "It was squatting beside me when I was eating stems this morning, and I gave it some."

The Ya Zheng of the Mengshui Tribe said, "When I was eating roasted meat, it came over and rubbed against me with its wings, so I fed it a roasted animal leg."

Yan Dun, the old chieftain of the True Scarlet Tribe, blinked his small eyes and said, "We just had some meat porridge, and it pawed at us, so we fed it a bowl."

Jing Huo from the Red Zheng Tribe hesitated. "When we were eating, it acted cute, and we couldn't resist..."

Jian Mo looked at Jiujiu.

Jiujiu tilted its head innocently. "Chirp?"

Wu Jiong walked over, rubbed Pang Qiu's belly, and calmly pointed out, "I saw Ying'ao feed it this morning too. Now its belly is bulging."

Chirp Jiujiu had been freeloading all morning, pretended not to hear and chirped. "Chirp."

Chapter 118 Second Cut

Everyone wanted to cover as much distance as possible while the sun wasn't too strong, so they quickly packed up and prepared to set off.

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe came out to see them off, and specifically said to Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo, after the Powdered Yellow-Cap Mushroom have dried, we will help you send them, along with other supplies, to the Riverside Tribe?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe said, "It's nothing, thank you for helping us get our ears pierced."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "You can come find me again if you need anything next time, or you can come visit our Riverside Tribe whenever you want."

After a brief farewell, the beastmen transformed back into their beast forms, and the sub-beastmen tied their luggage to them and climbed onto their backs to sit.

The caravan set off again.

Jiujiu and Ying'ao circled in the sky, sometimes flying in front of the caravan, sometimes following behind it.

Today they will pass through the Mountain Bright Tribe and Fanbing Tribe tribes before reaching the Snow Foot Tribe to rest.

These were tribes that Jian Mo hadn't heard of much, and he had no objections.

He kept looking at the scenery on both sides of the road.

The further Jian Mo went into the Mountain Bright Tribe, the more he realized the differences between the Mountain Bright Tribe and the Sharp Teeth Tribe.

The territory of the Sharp Teeth Tribe has several high mountains that block moisture, making the Mountain Bright Tribe noticeably drier; many mountains are covered in grass instead of trees.

The Mountain Bright Tribe has relatively scarce water resources, limited plant diversity, and a somewhat monotonous landscape.

Jian Mo watched for a while, then quickly grew tired of it, lay down on the giant wolf, and drifted off to sleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

He thought he had arrived at his destination, but when he looked up, the sun hadn't risen much higher, and he didn't seem to have slept for very long.

The entire caravan stopped; someone was chasing them, calling out, "Doctor Jian Mo— "

At first, Jian Mo thought they were from the Sharp Teeth Tribe, but she quickly realized that they probably weren't.

The pursuing human-like creature resembled a giraffe, though its neck wasn't as exaggerated, only relatively long.

This unique characteristic was enough for Jian Mo to distinguish them from the people of other tribes.

The giant beasts caught up, panting, shouting as they ran, "Doctor Jian Mo, wait a minute, we've come to see you!"
