Surviving in the Beast World with a System Chapter 263: The Plant Called White Root

Seeing her confused look, Qingcao giggled and began to describe it with wild gestures. "White roots are dug up from the ground. When they first co out, they’re covered in dirt and look all black."

"But if you wash them in the river, they beco really, really white. They’re crunchy and sweet, and they taste amazing."

"And as long as we’re careful not to damage them while digging, they can be stored for a very long ti."

It sounded familiar to Wu Yue, so she couldn’t help but ask her System, "Doesn’t that sound a lot like a white sweet potato?"

The System looked at the plant displayed on its panel, its tone indescribable. "It sounds like it."

Wu Yue looked at Qingcao, who was chattering away excitedly. "So, when can we go dig for these white roots?"

Even as she said this, neither of them stopped the work at hand.

Qingcao thought for a mont before saying, "I think we can only go after the rainy season. The white roots are very far from the tribe, and it takes us a long ti to get there."

"Besides, the area is shared by four tribes. Once we get there, we have to wait for the Collection Teams from the other three tribes to arrive before we can start gathering."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "With three other tribes? Isn’t it on our tribe’s land?"

Qingcao shook her head. The area where the white roots grow is very large, and so of it grows on each tribe’s territory.

"I don’t know what the witches and Clan Leaders of the past decided, but in any case, the four tribes still gather them together now."

After speaking, she cupped her chubby little face dreamily and said with anticipation, "If only all those white roots grew in our White Tiger Tribe’s territory, then all the delicious white roots would belong to us."

Upon hearing this, a look of anticipation flickered in Wu Yue’s eyes.

’If the white root Qingcao ntioned really is sweet potato, then her wish might actually co true.’

After they finished sorting all the wild vegetables, Qingcao looked at the pile of weeds at her feet with so regret. "I didn’t notice when we were gathering vegetables that we brought back so many weeds."

"If these were edible, the vegetable balls we could make from them would be enough for tonight’s al."

Wu Yue squatted down and started picking through the pile of weeds.

These weeds had been brought back by the tribe mbers, and among them were many dicinal herbs they didn’t recognize.

Previously, while sorting weeds out from the dandelions, Wu Yue had found several plants that could be used as both seasonings and dicinal herbs.

But it seed her good luck had run out, as she found nothing of value today.

Sighing in disappointnt, she looked at Qingcao, who had just finished putting the wild vegetables back in the cave. "Let’s go get so exercise. I feel like your face has gotten even chubbier."

The mont she heard Wu Yue say she was fatter, Qingcao was devastated.

She frantically dragged Wu Yue toward the back of the mountain. "Yue, walk faster! I don’t want to get any fatter!"

"Yesterday when I saw Teng Kun, I got a little too excited and, with a ROAR, pounced on him."

"But I didn’t expect to actually knock him over! A strong Beastman like Teng Kun couldn’t even withstand my weight. It took him a long ti to get back up."

She gasped this out to Wu Yue, panting as she climbed up the mountain.

But Wu Yue, a total weakling who hadn’t exercised in years, was already like a dead dog, being dragged along.

In her heart, though, she couldn’t help but give Qingcao a huge thumbs-up. ’Aweso!’

’Your Amu will never have to worry about you suffering from dostic abuse. Just pounce on him, and it’s over!’
