Standing silently behind her Amu, Ye Duo glared at the frail female, her expression dark. Hatred churned in her eyes. All the resentnt she felt because of Yuan Lang had now been redirected toward the innocent Wu Yue.
The Beastn of the Hunting Team also heard Grandma Hua Shu’s booming voice, but they were all used to her shouting and paid it no mind.
Only Yuan Lang, who had recently beco Grandma Hua Shu’s new "cub," and his two drowsy companions looked over toward the sound.
’The familiar, burly Grandma, and the familiar lion-headed... little female.’
"Yuan Lang, when did Lion’s Head start hanging out with your Amu?"
Yuan Lang shot him a glare. "How would I know? Get up. Ti to get ready for the hunt. If we don’t hunt, we don’t eat."
The two big tigers got up and hopped around a bit. "Yuan Lang, there’s not enough salt here. If we catch prey that’s too big, there’s no way to preserve it. It’ll just spoil."
Yuan Lang frowned and stared at them for a long mont. Just as the two were awaiting a profound command from their General, they heard Yuan Lang say, "Then catch smaller ones."
Teng Qian: "That’s it?"
Yuan Lang: "That’s it."
Teng Kun: "Nothing else?"
Yuan Lang: "Nothing else."
The two exchanged a look, then decisively turned their backs to their General. "Heh heh..."
anwhile, a warm smile spread across Wu Yue’s face as she approached the team she would be spending her days with. After greeting everyone, she stood quietly to the side.
But the older won around her were very enthusiastic, periodically coming over to say a few words. So of the younger females were also quite interested in the small woven pouch at her waist.
’How strange. They were both Collection Teams from the sa tribe, yet the atmosphere among the mbers was completely different.’
Grandma Hua Shu stood at the front, raising a hand with a serious expression as she faced the crowd.
The Collection Team instantly fell silent.
"Today is the public collection day! I want everyone to gather with all you’ve got—the more, the better! This ti, our Collection Team *must* take first place! If we do, all the food will be ours to control! What do you say?"
Grandma Hua Shu’s voice was naturally commanding, and it sounded even more powerful as she rallied her team.
Even Wu Yue, who had just joined, couldn’t help but pump her scrawny little fists in response.
Seeing everyone’s morale soar, Grandma Hua Shu nodded in satisfaction. She was about to turn and lead the way when she suddenly seed to rember sothing. Pointing to a female beside Wu Yue, she called out, "Shui! Wu Yue hasn’t been in the tribe long. You explain the public collection day to her."
The female beside Wu Yue laughed heartily and replied, "Don’t worry, Leader! Leave it to ."
Wu Yue was deeply touched. ’I really love the atmosphere in this Collection Team.’
’This female beside seems really enthusiastic.’
A short while later, however, Wu Yue was paying the price for her naivete as she stared at the female beside her, whose mouth hadn’t stopped moving since they’d left the tribe...
Wu Yue stared speechlessly at the sky. ’Grandma... she’s already said that at least five tis...’
’It’s been seared into my very soul... I swear.’
Apparently, each Collection Team had its own territory. The direction Grandma Hua Shu was leading them was completely different from the one Auntie Qingcao’s team had taken before.
Finally reaching her limit, Wu Yue interrupted the female’s incessant rambling. "So, what are we going to be collecting?"
The female paused, slightly taken aback, before pulling a sowhat wrinkled wild vegetable from a piece of Beast Skin she was holding. "This is it."
Wu Yue took it. ’This leaf is familiar... it looks like a dandelion leaf.’
But...
Wu Yue looked at the female beside her in confusion. "Shui, why is there only one leaf?"
