On his hunts with the tribesmen, he discovered that the males here relied mostly on brute force.

Once they targeted a prey, they paid no mind to technique, simply charging in together to get it done.

As he was already a powerful figure among the young Beastman Warriors, he gradually gathered a following of other young warriors through a series of interactions, both intentional and not.

On several group hunts, Yuan Lang demonstrated the bountiful catches that resulted from his strategic approach to hunting.

He even began teaching his followers a few Martial Arts moves.

’Beastmen are blessed with incredible physical strength. If they also trained, who in this Beast World could possibly be a match for the Snow Tiger Tribe?’

Wu Yue knew nothing of Yuan Lang’s activities. Exhausted, she quickly washed up and fell asleep.

The next day, while eating a simple breakfast, she was surprised to see the roly-poly Qingcao arriving at her home, laughing and chatting with Aya.

’Seriously, I was only gone for a few days. What in the world happened between you two?’

Qingcao grew excited the moment she saw her. "Yue, Aya and I are about to go gathering. Want to come with us?"

Wu Yue shot a subtle glance at the beaming female behind Qingcao. "Since when did you and Aya get so chummy?"

Qingcao chuckled and scratched her head. "We just went gathering a few times and bonded, hehe."

Wu Yue gave a dry laugh. ’Your bonds form like a whirlwind.’

In the end, the three of them went into the forest outside the tribe together.

Looking at the wild vegetables on the ground, which were clearly past their prime, Wu Yue turned to the two females who had already squatted down to start gathering.

"We’re really gathering *these* wild vegetables?"

Qingcao and Aya nodded. "Yeah. They might be old, but if you mash them into balls, they’re still edible."

At their words, Wu Yue squatted down, gripped a wild vegetable, and pulled upward...

She glanced awkwardly at her two companions. "My arms are weak from spraying that medicine yesterday."

With that, she cleared her throat and covertly put more strength into her pull.

A moment later, Wu Yue stared forlornly at the vegetable she had mangled, leaving only a single stalk in her hand.

’What is seriously wrong with me? Why did I have to insist on coming here just to humiliate myself?’

The two beside her were already doubled over, their laughter completely undisguised and utterly brazen.

Wu Yue dusted off her green-stained hands and shot a cold look at the two cackling hyenas beside her. "Could you two at least pretend to be human?"

Qingcao casually plucked a piece of grass caught on her backside and tossed it aside, saying with a laugh, "We just didn’t think you’d have trouble pulling up a single wild vegetable, Yue."

Wu Yue scoffed. "And you call that a *normal* wild vegetable?"

The System chose this moment to poke its head out of the basket on her back. "It’s from the advanced class..."

Wu Yue shot it a warning look. "Don’t you get cheeky with me, or I’ll confiscate your snacks."

"Did you two call me over just to..." She trailed off, her eyes fixed on the "blade of grass" Qingcao had just tossed aside. She froze.

Aya picked up the "blade of grass" and held it in front of Wu Yue. "What’s so interesting about this?"

Wu Yue shook her head honestly. "It’s not much to look at, but it’s delicious."

’This is a freaking mushroom, you guys! You’re ignoring fresh, tender mushrooms to make me eat wild vegetables old enough to be your grandpa?’

"This is a mushroom. You can eat it."

Qingcao stepped forward and touched her forehead. "Yue, are you feeling alright? That’s a poisonous grass! We’ve had tribesmen die from accidentally eating it before."
