I thrived in the primitive tribe

Seeing the shaman's puzzled expression, Lu Yao smiled mischievously.

"Our tribe will no longer have to worry about salt,"

"I know that. There's a saltwater lake now, so it should be inexhaustible for the time being."

"That's not what I meant. I meant that we don't need to go to the salt lake to refine salt anymore; someone will deliver it to us."

The high shaman was shocked. "Could it be that the Beast God has manifested?"

"What are you thinking? Of course not, it's that we've reached a cooperation agreement with the Oak Dragon Tribe. Do you know about the Oak Dragon Tribe?"

"Is it the tribe of wounded orcs that Loya carried back before?"

"Yes."

What kind of cooperation did you reach?

"Why don't we wait for the leader to return so we can talk about it together?"

"No, tell me about it first, this is all I can think about right now,"

"The content of our cooperation is that I will teach them our salt-making method, and after they learn it, they will send half of the salt they produce to our tribe."

"Isn't this basically like finding someone to make salt for you for free?"

“Yes, Great Shaman, you are so smart. On the way here, Loya and the others didn’t understand and kept asking. I didn’t expect you to understand as soon as you heard it.”

"They are still young and haven't seen as much as I have. They will understand as they see and hear more."

"Hmm. So what do you think of my approach?"

"In my opinion, your cooperation proposal is entirely beneficial to our tribe."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Loya interrupted the two people chatting happily in front of him.

"Great Shaman, please wait a moment before we talk. I came with Lu Yao to ask if those plants that the tribespeople brought back are with you?"

"Plants? Oh, you mean those yellow beans or something?"

Yes, those are the ones.

"They're over there. What are you looking for? Didn't you say those belonged to Lu Yao? Were they meant for Lu Yao to deal with?"

"Yes, I don't want it. I came here to confirm if it's with you. If it's not, I'll go look for it."

"Yes, that person handed these things to me as soon as he came back. I looked at them but didn't recognize them, so I didn't touch them and just left them there." The shaman pointed to a corner of the cave.

The two looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a wicker basket sitting quietly there, with a few green leaves sprouting from the top.

"I haven't even asked you yet, what are these things? Where did they come from?"

Didn't that person tell you?

"No, he just said these are Lu Yao's things and asked me to keep them for her. Lu Yao will deal with them herself when she comes back."

"Oh, I see. Let Lu Yao tell you. I'm not really sure either. I see it's getting late, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, you should go back now. You haven't been back in a long time, have you?"

"Yes, then I'll be going now."

The two watched Loya leave.

"Lu Yao, tell me quickly, what are these things?"

Upon hearing the Great Shaman's words, Lu Yao turned her head to look at the wicker basket.

She walked over and took out the items one by one, and the shaman also squatted down to look at the items in front of him.

"This is a peanut, and this is a soybean."

"Is this food?"

"Yes,"

Before Lu Yao could say what to eat, Da Wu put the peanut leaves in his mouth and chewed them.

"How can this taste so awful? Are you sure this is edible?"

“Yes, but not like that.” Lu Yao said helplessly. “Look, you have to do it like this, peel it open, and eat the fruit inside. Try it.”

The Great Shaman looked at the white and tender fruit in Lu Yao's hand with hesitation, because the leaves from before were really too unpalatable.

"Try it, it tastes really good." Lu Yao tossed a peanut into her mouth and chewed it.

Seeing Lu Yao's rather enjoyable expression, the Great Witch wavered. She picked up the peanut from Lu Yao's hand, slowly put it in her mouth, tasted it with her tongue, and finding no astringent taste, carefully began to chew.

After tasting the peanuts, Da Wudi's expression turned to surprise.

"These peanuts taste really good."

"Yes, this peanut not only tastes good and is filling, but it can also be used to make vegetable oil."

"Vegetable oil? The same kind of oil made from the meat of that Humming Beast?"

"Pretty much, they're both oil, but the taste is different in the two places."

"So, this peanut can only be eaten raw?"

"No, peanuts can be eaten in many ways, such as boiling, stir-frying, deep-frying, etc."

"Shall we give it a try?"

“This won’t do. We only have this many peanuts. I want to plant them in our tribe so that they can grow more peanuts and provide us with a continuous supply.”

"Okay, then we'll make all sorts of delicious things after you grow them."

"So, is this how you eat the soybeans over there too?"

After the first blunder, the shaman did not immediately put the soybean in his mouth this time.

"Soybeans aren't eaten directly; they need to be cooked before eating. They can also be used to make tofu, soy pudding, soy milk, and so on." Lu Yao said, reminiscing about these delicacies, her mouth watering.

"However, I also want to plant these soybeans in our tribe. After they grow, we'll save enough seeds and then eat them."

"So, you're saying you used all of these for planting?"

"Yes,"

"By the way, you still haven't told me where you got all of these."

"These were all given to us by the wolf king, but we don't know where they grew."

"The wolf king? You've seen the wolf king?"

"I think so. Loya and the others said that should be the Wolf King."

"Why would the Wolf King come here?"

Lu Yao recounted their encounter with the Wolf King and their interactions with him to the Great Shaman.

The great shaman listened in stunned silence.

Have you seen the wolf king before?

"No, I've only heard of the Wolf King in legends, I've never seen one."

"Even you haven't seen it before?"

"Yes, legend has it that when the Beast God enlightened the Beastmen, the Wolf Clan should have been able to become Beastmen like us, but something went wrong and the Wolf Clan did not become Beastmen in the end."

"What went wrong?"

"I don't know about that. All I know is that the wolf pack became exceptionally fierce later on, and every few generations they would produce an alpha wolf whose intelligence surpassed that of most wolves. Among these alpha wolves, there would be one that was the most intelligent and also extremely powerful in combat."

"The Wolf King?"

"Yes, most of the time, the wolf king will not leave his territory, let alone get into conflict with the orcs."

The orcs' knowledge of the Wolf King is mostly based on legends; very few orcs have actually seen him.

"Then how did it end up at the saltwater lake this time? And why did it clash with the Oak Dragon tribe?"

"Well, I don't know, but from your description, it seems to be because of its mate. There should be something over there that can help its mate, right?"

"Maybe. We went over there to investigate, but we didn't find anything."

"It's possible that the wolf king has already used that thing. Didn't you also say that the wolf king's mate's body doesn't look like it could bear two cubs?"

"Yes, yeah,"

"Alright, let's not talk about seeing the wolf king anymore. Just pretend you just encountered a pack of ordinary wolves this time."

"Why is that?" Lu Yao was very puzzled by the shaman's explanation.
