Chapter 5 Misunderstood

Zhuang Yu ultimately didn't reach out to take the berries handed to him. The significance of a millionaire giving you 100 dollars and someone who only has 100 dollars left willing to give you fifty is completely different.

Zhuang Yu could see clearly how life was in the Golden Centipede Tribe. Moreover, speaking of which, his relationship with the Golden Centipede Tribe was almost that of strangers.

As Zhuang Yu left, the children looked at him, scratching their messy hair, their faces filled with confusion. What's wrong? In the past, Zhuang Yu from the Water Marsh Tribe would snatch food from them, but now, he actively offered to share, yet they didn't want it.

Amidst the children's puzzled gazes, Zhuang Yu walked into the mountains. It wasn't easy to pick mushrooms; there were no paths in the mountains. Moreover, although the ancestral beast's intimidation existed, who could guarantee that there were no lurking special wild beasts? The little mushroom was just one example; it seemed harmless, but appearances could be deceiving.

As Zhuang Yu entered the mountains, he was still thinking when a small mushroom rushed towards him vigorously, waving its hand and gesturing for him to follow, as if saying, "Come on, I'll show you where my brothers live."

Curiously, Zhuang Yu followed, and the little mushroom ran to a dead tree, jumping and calling out.

Zhuang Yu approached, pushed aside the grass, and was amazed. It turned out to be a nest of mushrooms, around a dozen of them. This little guy was actually leading him to pick mushrooms. Now, he wasn't puzzled by how it could find mushrooms so accurately. Zhuang Yu quickly used his animal skin to carefully pick the mushrooms.

Then, following the proudly strutting little troublemaker, he went to another place. Before long, Zhuang Yu was sweating profusely, but it was worth it. His animal skin was filled with mushrooms and some chili peppers.

Chili peppers weren't in fixed locations; they were scattered everywhere, making them difficult to find. Zhuang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, realizing why it was so hot. He looked up, and there were ten scorching suns emitting intense heat.

Zhuang Yu confirmed once again that this wasn't Earth; it wasn't even any star system he knew of. Initially, he wanted to pick more mushrooms since the sun was so intense that if he didn't pick the mushrooms emerging from the ground, they would dry up. However, his animal skin couldn't hold any more mushrooms.

Feeling a bit regretful, but still smiling, Zhuang Yu looked at the mushrooms in his animal skin. Saving some for later, tomorrow's meals were assured. His appetite was quite large, and compared to its contributions, he could afford to feed the little mushroom with its small belly.

Zhuang Yu looked at the proud little troublemaker as if it were a treasure. Even without mushrooms, it could still lead him to find berries. Last time, when he used berries to hit it, it showed that besides finding mushrooms and chili peppers, it could also find berries.

Carrying the mushrooms, Zhuang Yu returned to the cave, intending to save them for later. In order to save food, he didn't roast them immediately; he would wait until evening to roast them to make them last longer.

Now he had something to do; he separated the chili pepper seeds he obtained. These seeds needed to be planted in the ground. As for the crushed chili peppers, Zhuang Yu thought for a moment. To preserve them longer, he needed to mix them with salt.

Carrying two shells, Zhuang Yu walked outside the cave. Due to the ten suns, the temperature was unusually high, and the saltwater he was drying was almost evaporated, revealing white grains with a yellowish hue. Actually, these still needed to be further purified and dried with water, but for now, they would do.
