Chapter 6

After walking for a while without any gain, Shan Pu in the front suddenly brightened his eyes, quickly ran out like a gust of wind, squatted down to pick up something, and then ran back at lightning speed.

“Witch, do you think this is wild pepper?!” He held up a small red fruit for Lu Yu to see.

Lu Yu shook his head, “No.” It was a wild tomato.

“Ah…” Shan Pu disappointedly wanted to throw away what he had in his hand, but Lu Yu stopped him, took the tomato from him.

In addition to finding seasoning, it was necessary to bring back some vegetables.

Matai only loved meat, and they would only eat a little bit of even the sweetest fruit when they couldn’t catch any prey. Continuing like this would definitely lead to a lack of vitamins and a weakened immune system. Then various diseases would emerge, and it would be too late to regret it.

Lu Yu put the tomato into his ring and said seriously, “This can also be eaten. You gather—”

Wait a minute.

Lu Yu paused in his speech, suddenly realizing that Matai were not ordinary people. They had strong genes, extraordinary talents, and without natural disasters, living to be a thousand years old was considered dying young.

Their physique was stronger than that of wild beasts, and they lived longer than tortoises. He, who was fretting over someone eating too few vegetables, was actually worried about nothing…

He was worrying about himself.

Lu Yu said weakly, “Forget it, just gather a little bit randomly.”

“Okay!” Shan Pu went off full of energy.

The jungle grew deeper, and the vegetation became denser.

It wasn’t until Lu Yu felt a little hungry that they finally found a place where pepper trees grew scatteredly.

Everyone dispersed to collect the small red fruits hidden behind the green leaves.

Lu Yu picked a handful of wild pepper and looked at Shan Pu, who was happily bouncing not far away, paused, and said, “Shan Pu, come here for a moment.”

“What’s wrong? Witch.” Shan Pu walked over, squatting down beside Lu Yu, still holding a handful of wild pepper in his hand.

Lu Yu took the pepper from his hand and put it into the ring. “I want to ask you something.”

“What is it?”

“Last night, when the wolves came, were you at the entrance of the cave?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yu frowned slightly, hesitated, and asked, “Did you see a special wolf…”

In front of the short pepper tree, a black and white contrast, the two of them squatted together with their heads close together, murmuring something. Because they were too close, their arms occasionally rubbed against each other, looking unusually intimate.

Tai Li silently watched over there, Xia Cao glanced at her king, then looked at the two people in front of the pepper tree, and casually said, “The Witch seems to be talking very happily with Shan Pu.”

Tai Li pursed his lips slightly, his eyes darkening.

—

“What? Witch, do you want to kill the Wolf King?” Shan Pu exclaimed in surprise.

Matai who were gathering wild pepper put down what they were doing and looked over inexplicably.

Lu Yu noticed that everyone was looking over and stood up, saying loudly, “Yes.”

Matai whispered among themselves.

“What? The Witch wants to go kill the Wolf King? Why?”

“I don’t know, but it’s a bit difficult to kill the Wolf King.”

“Yeah, the Wolf King is faster than Shan Pu.”

“And, the Wolf King’s territory has many wolves.”

“Is wolf meat very delicious when grilled?”

—

Tai Li walked up to him, lowered his head to look at him, and asked in a deep voice, “Reason?”

Lu Yu smiled, “I’m about to tell the king.”

“I can get what we need most from the Wolf King.”
