Chapter 494 - 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.
