The great rainy season was coming early, so preparations for many things had to be accelerated. This was especially true for herbs and food, which were crucial to the tribe's survival.
That afternoon, once the tribe members who had gone out to gather and hunt returned, the Clan Leader called everyone to assemble in the tribe's clearing.
Everyone stared at the two large bamboo bags of chilies placed in the middle of the clearing, a stir of excitement running through them. 'Could this be a newly discovered food?'
Taking advantage of the distraction, one of the Beastman Warriors secretly snatched one and tossed it into his mouth. A second later, he let out a miserable howl and started panting, his tongue lolling out.
Watching the Beastman Warrior, whose face was so red it looked like it might explode, Wu Yue was torn between laughter and exasperation. "Quick, go rinse your mouth in the river! It'll feel better in a bit."
