I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 292, The Enthusiastic Cow Horned Girl

Translator: Silavin

Su Bai and the others moved through the forest, where tall trees blocked most of the sunlight, keeping them cool.

Animal calls constantly sounded from all around, though most were faint, with occasional loud beast roars from the distance.

Following these would be the sound of something falling. Seemed like the Hunting Team had successfully hunted some large prey.

Yan Hua kept turning her head to look, her red eyes full of curiosity. She could not resist the temptation of these sounds. As a Warrior-to-be, she was eager to be out there herself.

Perhaps just watching was not enough; she wanted to personally experience the thrill of the hunt.

However, she was quite satisfied for now, having learned much by coming to the Hunting Ground with the Hunting Team.

After she awakened as a Totem Warrior, she would naturally be able to hunt with them.

Su Bai noticed the girl’s thoughts, seeing her constantly looking back with longing in her red eyes.

He handed her the book, saying, “Look at the pictures in the book, and help me search.”

This might be the only way to distract the cow horned girl. Searching alone could take a long time; with another person helping, the chances of them finding things would increase.

“Ah, Shaman, you were looking for these things!?” Yan Hua took the herbal encyclopaedia and began looking through the pictures.

Sha Lan and the others gathered around, all looking at what was drawn in the book. After looking for a while, they found many plants they had seen before.

“Familiar?” Su Bai asked.

Yan Hua nodded firmly, saying, “I recognize some because I’ve seen them before.”

“Yes, we’ve seen many of these, but some we’ve never seen before.” Sha Lan said.

“In that case, help me find all these things according to the pictures in this book. They’re all useful for the Tribe’s development.” Su Bai instructed.

“Okay.” Yan Hua and the others nodded.

Everyone carefully studied the pictures in the herbal encyclopaedia, then began searching for the things drawn there.

The entire forest was vast, with all kinds of plants that dazzled the eye.

“Shaman, is this the plant from the book?” Yan Hua pulled up a plant.

The plant looked very similar to Earth’s Dandelion. However, because the cow horned girl pulled it off the ground quite hard, the fluffy parts had all flown away.

“Shaman, what is this? It can fly!” Yan Hua exclaimed in surprise.

The cow horned girl watched them float with the wind in amazement, her red eyes full of wonder.

“This is a Dandelion…” Su Bai smiled, surprised to see a plant from Earth here.

However, unlike Earth’s version, these Dandelions were much larger, more than ten times bigger than Earth’s.

Held in hand, it was like a lotus pod, with the same white pappus (top of dandelion seeds, the thing that enables them to fly). They were huge, akin to a small umbrella.

“Dandelion?” Yan Hua blinked her red eyes curiously, constantly waving the Dandelion in her hand.

She was delighted seeing the pappus constantly flying, and promptly pulled up several more.

“Are these only found in the Hunting Ground?” Su Bai curiously asked.

“I don’t know, but there aren’t any near the Tribe,” Yan Hua shook her head.

“Let’s take some back, they’re useful for treating illness.” Su Bai instructed.

“Yes!” Yan Hua and the others nodded, beginning to pull up the densely growing Dandelions.

Su Bai shook his head with a smile, saying, “No need to pull them all up, just take the white pappus from the top.”

He found the sight of the girls enthusiastically pulling Dandelions quite cute. However, they did not need so many.

These Dandelions were much larger than Earth’s version. Taking entire plants back would take up too much space. Moreover, their main task was bringing back prey. Suddenly carrying so many Dandelions back would be troublesome.

Just taking just the white pappus would be enough. They could be planted by scattering them on the ground around the Tribe.

“Alright.” The girls nodded, beginning to collect the fluffy tops.

After about fifteen minutes, the girls’ Animal Hide Bags were filled with Dandelions.

“Shaman, we’ve gathered many now. Should we keep gathering?” Yan Hua asked, turning back.

Her face was covered with Dandelion fluff, which complemented her delicate features.

“That’s enough. Let’s find some other plants. We’ll need to take back as many plant seeds as we can. In fact, we don’t need so many Dandelions – a small amount is enough…” Su Bai calmly said.

Dandelions had very useful medicinal value. It was primarily used for its cut off dried roots or leaves. Such parts contained rich vitamins and minerals, strengthened the liver, and could lower cholesterol.

Moreover, Dandelions were sweet and slightly bitter. Consumption mainly functions to clear heat and toxins in the body, promote urination, relieve constipation, reduce jaundice, and aid bile production.

This was not all. The herbal encyclopaedia mentioned that Dandelions could be combined with many plants to make other more effective medicines.

Finding them meant taking some back. Dandelions were relatively easy to regrow, primarily because the seeds spread through the wind. Wherever they landed, they would grow.

Soon, everyone continued searching for plants from the herbal encyclopaedia. Having found one species, they searched with renewed enthusiasm.

Initially, they had not been so passionate, finding nothing and lacking motivation. But now, it was different.

Yan Hua showed the most enthusiasm, pulling up various plants and constantly asking:

“Shaman, can we use this?”

“Shaman, what about this? I think it looks just like the picture in the book.”

“Shaman, this one! This must be it, right?”

“Shaman, this! This absolutely must be a plant from the pictures!”

Su Bai could not help but laugh at the girl’s enthusiasm. Though she currently could not hunt, she was showing plenty of spirit.

He smiled and said, “None of these are right. Keep looking. If needed, check the book again.”

Yan Hua took back the returned book and continued studying the pictures, her red eyes intently fixed on them.

The others did the same, gathering around to reinforce their memory of the pictures.

They continued searching like this for over an hour, their Animal Hide Bags becoming completely full.

They had found more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs, each with very different effects.
