Most of the food that can be found in this forest is sweetleaf grass and blackworm fruit.
Maybe it was because they were in the deep forest and had not seen the sun for a long time, but Lin Xi found that the sweetleaf grass here was much shorter than those in the forest near the tribe.
But the leaf flesh is a little thicker!
If I were to make an analogy, it's like the difference between a thin lettuce leaf and the root of a Shanghai green.
In addition to sweetleaf grass and blackworm fruit, there are also a lot of rolling fruit grass here.
The rolling fruit grass has fruits. Lin Xi once tried to taste it, but unfortunately it only had a sour taste and was not edible.
But as time went by, Lin Xi felt that the current rolling grass leaves were a little spicier than before! At least it gave her a more obvious and more enjoyable spicy taste!
When Lin Xi came out of the cave in the morning, he brought a backpack and two large animal skin bags, which were just enough to pack the grass leaves and wild fruits separately.
The temperature in the forest was very low. Fortunately, Lin Xi was wearing thick clothes and did not feel cold, except for his hands which were a little cold.
But this does not affect her picking speed.
The backpack was gradually filled with sweetleaf grass and rolling fruit grass. The animal skin bag she brought was also filled with black worm fruit. The remaining one in her hand was now half full.
Lin Xi threw a handful of freshly picked black worm fruits into the bag, stood up, and walked towards another black worm fruit grass.
At this moment, not far to her right, a plant that had turned yellow and dried up and was vaguely hidden by a low tree suddenly caught her attention!
That is……
corn?!
Lin Xi opened his eyes wide and looked at the plant in disbelief for a moment!
But soon, she was very sure that this was the crop that her grandmother's house planted every year when she was a child. She would definitely not make a mistake!
She excitedly ran to the plant and looked at it carefully!
Long stalks, dry and yellow leaves, and two fruits wrapped in leaves growing above and below the stalks.
Lin Xi looked at the fruit that was growing higher, and raised his hand impatiently to gently pull away the leaves on the fruit.
Layer after layer of leaves were gradually torn open, finally revealing the neatly arranged, golden small particles inside!
It’s really corn!
After seeing the appearance of the fruit inside, Lin Xi's excited heartbeat began to accelerate!
She first broke off two corns with their outer leaves, and then began to look around to see if there were more corn plants.
Fortunately, we actually found two identical corn stalks behind a few trees not far away.
But each of the two stalks only produced one cob of corn.
There were four cobs of corn in total, and each one was not very big, only as long as Lin Xi's palm.
The corn cob growing on the bottom of the first corn plant was only half the size of Lin Xi's palm!
But Lin Xi is already very satisfied!
Of course, these four cobs of corn were not to be taken back to be eaten, but to be used as seeds for her!
Whether she can eat proper staple food in the next few decades of her life depends on these four cobs of corn!
For this purpose, Lin Xi also asked Xue Tian's mother and Xue Ying if they had seen the same plant.
The good news is that Xue Tian’s mother knows this thing, and she calls it yellow grain fruit.
This at least shows that the beastmen have knowledge and impression of corn.
But unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much corn growing here. Xue Tian’s mother only recognizes corn, but rarely sees it, and she doesn’t know where there is more corn growing!
Therefore, the ears of corn in Lin Xi's hand seemed even more precious.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi carefully placed the corn into the animal skin bag and stuffed it deep into the pile of black worm fruits to prevent it from falling out on the way back.
At this time, instead of continuing to collect food, Lin Xi was more anxious to return to the tribe.
She always felt that the corn would not be safe until it was brought back to the cave.
Finally, more than three hours after the orcs came out, most of the animal skin bags they brought out were full.
Grandma Xueying and Xuetian each brought out four animal skin bags, while Lin Xi carried a basket of wild vegetables by himself, but there were still two large animal skin bags full of them that he couldn't take!
Xueying wanted to carry Lin Xi back, but Xuetian's mother was old and Lin Xi was embarrassed to trouble her, so she finally found a female cattle in the team for help.
Like Xueying, Lin Xi promised to give her a small prey as a thank you when he returned!
The little female beast readily agreed.
Hunting has never been an easy task for herbivorous orcs.
Perhaps it is due to the limitations of their animal form. When herbivorous orcs are hunting, they will always be a few points behind in some aspect, whether it is speed, attack power, or hiding ability.
This means that the time cost of hunting is very high, and compared to collecting wild fruits and vegetables, it can even be considered a waste of time.
Therefore, the meat that the herbivorous orcs here usually eat is mostly the reward paid by the carnivorous orcs in the tribe for their help.
Only a small part of the remaining ones were caught by themselves. But most of them were caught by the beastmen just like the prey fell into the trap and they waited for the prey to come!
At this time, it only takes effort. Carrying two bags of fruit can get a piece of meat. For the female cattle, it is very suitable!
She is very satisfied!
When a group of orcs rushed back to the tribe, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
The reason why it is so clear is that Lin Xi inserted a wooden stick at the entrance of the cave, and every day he observes the changes in the shadow of the stick to judge the approximate time.
Xueying and the female ox beast directly sent Lin Xi back to the cave. After putting the food they brought back in the cave, Lin Xi quickly packed up his things and ran to the foot of the mountain to gather.
Every moment of the food storage period before winter is very precious. Of course, it is impossible to go out and collect food once a day and then call it a day!
Ten minutes later, the large group gathered and set out into the forest again, heading to the same forest as before.
When collecting again this time, Lin Xi began to observe more carefully all the plants he could see, hoping to find more ingredients and ingredients that he was familiar with.
She was mainly looking for corn.
But unfortunately, there seemed to be only those three golden seedlings here, and Lin Xi didn't find another one this afternoon!
She thought that the seeds of these three corns might have fallen from the butt of a passing bird or some herbivorous animal!
Otherwise, how could there not be a single tree found in such a large area?
But fortunately, although there was no corn, she picked up mushrooms!
The mushrooms were the same kind that the orcs had discovered before and called "white flesh fruits". These mushrooms were very large, probably because it rained yesterday, so they all popped up today.
In fact, Linxi is a bit strange. Although it just rained, today's temperature should no longer be suitable for mushroom growth!
What’s more, it only rained for one night, but it has grown so big!
But soon, she only thought about this question for two seconds and gave up thinking about it!
None of this matters. The animal world is different from the Earth. The most important thing now is to fill her stomach!
She thought about it, picked mushrooms as she walked with the basket in her hand, and less than an hour later, her basket was already full of plump big white mushrooms!
