“And now, what do they possess?”

“Take your time.”

“Have a meal first. Once you’re satiated, get some rest. We’ll resume our quest tomorrow.”

“The challenges are undeniably daunting at present. We’ll find great joy when we succeed.” Gu Chaoyan was not particularly skilled in offering consolation, but as there was nothing more to say, she started to eat.

As they were here for a purpose, Gu Chaoyan ensured they were well taken care of. In addition to some dry provisions, they had also brought smoked and dried meat to maintain their health.

They had an iron pot with them, suitable for cooking when they set up a fire.

Gu Chaoyan found herself full after consuming the dry rations; she had little interest in the meat since it lacked flavor. She stood aside, pondering their next steps.

The items she had hoped to find remained elusive.

Initially, she believed they might at least come across some food, but they found none.

In truth, the outcome could be attributed to the soil in this area. It was entirely possible that these items simply did not grow here.

Numerous plants would only thrive in soil suited to their needs.

The land in this region was exceedingly barren.

However…

She was not inclined to give up.

The following day, as the sun ascended, they pressed on.

Along the way,

Because they had yet to uncover anything of value, a few clan members suggested they forgo rest and sustenance and continue their search until nightfall to maximize their efforts.

Gu Chaoyan, however, dismissed this notion.

Rest and nourishment were essential, especially after prolonged labor.

Once they hastily finished their meal, they were reluctant to take a brief respite and resumed their quest.

As the sun began to set once more,

However…

This time…

Just as Gu Chaoyan was contemplating a break, she spotted some red fruits.

She rushed over in excitement.

Upon closer inspection,

She realized they were tomatoes.

She hadn’t antic.i.p.ated finding tomatoes here.

This was a great discovery!

Gu Chaoyan proceeded to pluck the tomatoes, eager to sample their taste.

Observing this, Gary seized Gu Chaoyan’s arm. “Tribe Chief, these red fruits are poisonous. We had a tribe member who was extremely hungry, and we ate them, only to die afterwards.”

Poisonous?

It seemed inconceivable that tomatoes could be poisonous.

“Gary, are you certain they’re the same kind of fruit?”

“It’s not exactly the same, but it’s close. Our clan members and members from other tribes all know that red fruits are poisonous and should not be consumed,” Gary said earnestly. He was deeply concerned about the Tribe Chief’s well-being.

“It’s not the same thing, so it’s not the same thing. This fruit is remarkably delicious. If it’s safe to eat, it could benefit our people!” Gu Chaoyan persisted, hoping that the tomatoes in this area would be just as sweet.

Gu Chaoyan insisted on picking them.

She plucked one and washed it thoroughly.

This was a precaution.

The locals here didn’t have a habit of cleaning their food.

However, if a poisonous snake had pa.s.sed by the wild fruit, it might have left behind some venom. Cleaning it was the safest choice.

After was.h.i.+ng,

Gu Chaoyan was ready to taste it.

Gary remained genuinely concerned. Seeing the Tribe Chief’s determination, he said, “Tribe Chief, you can try it. If you don’t want to, I will!”

As he spoke, he moved to grab one of the tomatoes.

Gu Chaoyan took a bite.

“Sweet!”
