CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 485: THE GREAT CHIEF 3

In her previous life, the only creatures Yan Shuangshuang saw in this world, besides the occasional small animals running past the cave entrance and the trees, flowers, and grass visible to the eye, were the dead items brought back by the hunting team. Saying Yan Shuangshuang knew nothing about this world is not an exaggeration.

But now, Yan Shuangshuang has received a large package of information about the world’s flora and fauna from the goddess in her mind. This allows Yan Shuangshuang, while sitting at home, to know the strengths and weaknesses of all animals, which plants are edible, medicinal, poisonous, and so on.

Knowing these things now means Yan Shuangshuang can immediately lead everyone to find edible new species, so that everyone can be full. As long as everyone can eat their fill, the speed of strength improvement will increase. When the speed of strength improvement increases, it means that the tribe can become strong.

Moreover, the purpose of urgently finding new edible plants for Yan Shuangshuang is not just to fill her belly. It may be because of the need for cultivating power; the primitive people of this world cannot live without meat, but they also cannot live without vegetables.

Once they go without eating vegetables for a long time, they will exhibit symptoms like dryness and fire. If the vegetable supply is cut off for too long, more serious problems will occur, such as illness.

However, the discovered edible vegetable species are still few, only a few wild vegetables and fruits, which are far from meeting human body needs. It’s not because there are fewer plants in this world; from the goddess’s information, this world has more abundant plant species than Earth.

It can only be said that the plant species around the Power Tribe are not abundant enough, so there are fewer edible species, or perhaps new species discovered by everyone are insufficient, and some edible ones have not been discovered yet.

Actually, there’s no way around it. There are many edible plants in this world, but more poisonous plants, and the toxins of poisonous plants are ever-changing. Some kill immediately after eating, some take a while to kill, and some have slow toxins that won’t kill for thirty or forty days.

Today, the few absolutely safe edible plants are ones countless primitive people have risked their lives to experiment with, making them incredibly precious, recorded in scrolls by tribes and passed down generations, and given special protection.

Yu knelt on the ground, muttering to the heavens for a long time. After thanking the Heavenly God in all aspects for his favor to the Power Tribe, he excitedly stood up.

Later, Yu asked Yan Shuangshuang some details about the divine favor, but Yan Shuangshuang now only has a half-understanding of the goddess’s package, and can’t provide much useful information.

Mainly, for those edible plants, Yan Shuangshuang can directly see the pictures, so if she sees them, she can recognize them instantly. But she doesn’t have the skill to draw realistic photos for the tribe members to pick according to the pictures.

If she makes a sketch version, Yan Shuangshuang fears the hunting team will waste efforts. Although these primitives aren’t stupid, in certain aspects, they are somewhat beyond words.

Yan Shuangshuang once asked her dad to help find chili peppers; she thought her drawing skills were good, but the entire hunting team enthusiastically helped. What they brought back was all sorts of things, none resembling what she drew.

So if she lets the hunting team pick freely, Yan Shuangshuang is sure they’ll bring back only inedible things, isn’t that a waste of time? So Yan Shuangshuang decided to follow the hunting team into the jungle to personally find edible species.

Upon hearing Yan Shuangshuang wanted to enter the jungle, Yu did not express opposition. Divine Favored are different from ordinary tribe members, they must endure more trials and tempering, which is recognized by all tribes.

Normally, Yu would never allow a child in the protection period like Yan Shuangshuang to enter the dangerous jungle, but Yan Shuangshuang is a Divine Favored, naturally different from ordinary people, having advanced trials with danger is normal.

Of course, Yu will also arrange enough manpower to protect Yan Shuangshuang, preventing her from truly being eaten by wild beasts or encountering any accidents.

In the evening, the hunting team finally returned, a group of nearly two-meter-tall members, full of knotted muscles, each like humanoid fierce beasts, carrying several huge prey as they came in from outside.

Some injured hunting team members were unavoidable, but after Witch Doctor Yu pressed his hands on the wounded, channeling witch power for treatment, the injured quickly became lively again, and the wounds disappeared.

Yan Shuangshuang hopped and skipped to a man carrying a huge deer-like prey, like an iron tower, and shouted, "Dad, Dad’s back! Dad! I have good news to tell Dad!"

Yan Shuangshuang’s dad is called Tie, but this Tie doesn’t mean the iron on Earth. Here, Tie means a plant, extremely hard, that can be used for the hunting prey’s long spears.

Tie was startled to see his precious daughter running over, and with a thud, he threw the prey on his shoulder to the ground, shaking the cave, yet Tie felt nothing, carefully picked Yan Shuangshuang up.

Holding his precious daughter, Tie examined Yan Shuangshuang front to back, left to right, top to bottom, like looking at something fragile, then nervously said, "Dad’s little Shuangshuang, why aren’t you letting Mom hold you today but instead running out yourself? You’re not in good health; don’t mess around, be careful not to get sick and have to drink Master Witch Doctor’s bitter medicine, there won’t be sweet fruit for you then." He said, lightly touching Yan Shuangshuang’s little nose with his finger.

Yan Shuangshuang was speechless; why do both Mom and Dad keep holding onto her unwillingness to drink medicine, always scaring her with Witch Doctor’s bitter medicine!

Slightly speechless, Yan Shuangshuang’s excitement remained unyielding as she hugged Tie’s neck and continued happily, "Dad, Master Witch Doctor said I’ve become a Divine Favored! Dad, am I great or what!"

"What Divine Favored?" Tie actually knows what a Divine Favored is; it’s said that an ancestor of the Power Tribe once appeared as a Divine Favored. At that time, the Power Tribe was very prosperous, with a population of ten thousand, famed as a great tribe, and other small tribes specifically came to attach themselves.

However, after the Divine Favored died, the Power Tribe gradually declined. Nowadays, the Power Tribe has only a little more than thirty people, becoming a very small tribe, easily facing complete extinction.

Now suddenly hearing his sickly precious daughter became a Divine Favored, Tie’s first reaction wasn’t excitement, but bewilderment!

Just as Cao and Witch Doctor Yu both came out, Witch Doctor Yu explained to everyone about Yan Shuangshuang becoming a Divine Favored.

At this, everyone became excited, Tie was even more excited, hugged Yan Shuangshuang, spun several circles, and then howled like a wolf, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, my Shuangshuang became a Divine Favored! My Shuangshuang is a Divine Favored!"
