"Potato? Can it be eaten? "Tang Xiaoxi looked at him with wide eyes.
"Yes, it can be eaten. It tastes pretty good after cooking. It has high calories and can withstand hunger. It's a very good staple food. Wait a moment, I need to confirm if this is a real potato."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu lightly crushed a potato and spread the juice on her palm. She said, "Lulu, come out and help me analyze if this is a potato and if it can be eaten."
"Yes, Brother!"
The beautiful elf official flew up and circled around Lin Muyu's hand before returning to Yi Hai. She said, "29% protein, 194% carbon hydrate, 03% fat, 31% dietary fiber, and many other vitamins and cellulose. The overall composition is confirmed to be a potato and can be eaten. Genetic analysis shows that it belongs to the potato family and is considered a close relative of the potato."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you!"
"Then I'll continue sleeping, Brother!"
… …
"Commander, are you really going to eat something dug out of the ground?" Wei Chou said in shock.
"Yes."
Lin Muyu casually picked a few potatoes and placed them in a bag on the side of the warhorse. She said, "At this time, do you choose to follow the ancient teachings and starve to death, or do you choose to eat and subdue the Savage Tribe?"
Wei Chou smiled. "This subordinate will listen to Commander. If Commander wants to eat, this subordinate will eat!"
Tang Zhen and the others were still in a daze. Lin Muyu said, "What are you waiting for? Everyone dismount and pick as much as you can. Bring a batch of potatoes back to camp and cook and eat them. Then, send more people to dig potatoes in Butterfly Valley. There are potatoes everywhere in the valley and it will be enough for the army to eat for a month. It will be enough for the Demon Race to survive this spring."
A fox general was very excited. "Commander, is what you said true?"
"Yes, quickly pick them!"
"Yes!"
Everyone dismounted. Each person dug up a dozen kilograms of potatoes and carried them on the backs of their horses. Then, they jolted back to camp to taste the potatoes. Why would people care so much when they were about to starve to death? Just like Shi Huo in Winter Frost City, he could even eat human flesh. What else could he not eat?
…
At lunchtime, smoke curled up from the chimneys of the Spiritual Fire Department. Pot after pot of potatoes with chili and salt were served. Lin Muyu accompanied Tang Xiaoxi, each holding an empty bowl as they waited for this military meal. When the huge potatoes were placed in the bowl, Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile. "It smells so good. Is it really edible?"
"Don't worry."
Lin Muyu took the lead and swallowed half of it in one gulp. It was almost scalded to death. She ate it with tears in her eyes.
Tang Xiaoxi tasted the soup mouthful by mouthful and seemed to be able to taste the sweetness within. After eating a fist-sized potato, she drank the soup and put down her bowl and chopsticks with great satisfaction.
In the distance, a group of starving soldiers were also fighting to eat this "underground food". Not only were the potatoes delicious, but they also provided a lot of energy. They were very suitable for soldiers to eat. By noon, none of those who had eaten the potatoes had any problems. Thus, Tang Zhen happily led over ten thousand soldiers to Butterfly Valley to collect "food". This way, the food problem had been solved. When Jin Xiaotang's food arrived, the situation should have been settled.
…
In Coiling Dragon Valley.
"Gugu … gugu …"
The sound of rumbling stomachs could be heard. The Great Wilderness God sat down on a green rock. Beside her, Prince Huangxi was stewing a pot of wild vegetable soup. He said with a sorrowful expression, "This … this wild vegetable is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth … Royal Father, are we really going to be trapped here? The weapons of the humans are so powerful. Our warriors are unable to charge through … "
The Great Wilderness God's face was pale. He said, "It's all my fault. I led my people to cross the desert and come here … I didn't think that there would be such a powerful army on the other side of the desert. It's all my fault …"
Huangxi said, "Royal Father, you can't be blamed for this. The number of people in our tribe is increasing, but the land is decreasing. Last year, over ten thousand people starved to death. If Royal Father didn't lead the army here, I'm afraid that these people would also starve to death … This is a calamity for our Great Wilderness Tribe. It has nothing to do with Royal Father's decision."
"Son, do you think … that Lin Muyu can be trusted?"
"Lin Muyu?"
"That person with the golden sword."
"Oh … he's very strong. I can feel that he's very strong from his aura …" Huangxi frowned. "Royal Father, why are you suddenly asking this?"
The Great Wilderness God said, "That night, Lin Muyu told me that as long as our Great Wilderness Tribe submitted to his empire, he would give us food and even let us settle down here."
Huangxi was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said, "No … our Great Wilderness Tribe has roamed the wilderness for tens of thousands of years and defeated many powerful opponents. Royal Father, have you forgotten? We have defeated the Nü Xi Nation, the Hard Footed Army, and the Iron Mountain Dwarves. These races have already bowed to our Great Wilderness Tribe. Why should we submit to those weak humans? "
"Son, you're right."
The Great Wilderness God sighed. His eyes shone with a strong light. He said, "This King has roamed the wilderness for his entire life and defeated many powerful enemies. But now, we have reached the end of the road. I have no other choice. I can either starve to death with the thirty thousand warriors behind me, or I can only submit to the humans. What choice do you want me to make?"
Huangxi clenched his fists. "Royal Father, I am willing to advance and retreat with you. We will kill our way out. I would rather be shot to death than give up the dignity of the warriors of the Great Wilderness Tribe!"
"Good child …"
The Great Wilderness God patted Prince Huangxi's shoulder and said, "Unfortunately, Royal Father is old and no longer has such lofty aspirations. I must consider the future of the tribe … If all the elite warriors of the Great Wilderness Tribe die in this valley, then it will be my fault."
Huangxi remained silent.
The Great Wilderness God said, "How many people starved to death today?"
"Seventy-one, Royal Father."
"Sigh … have we found new food?"
"The warriors have already dug three feet into the ground, but they still can't find anything edible. Many of the warriors swallowed the soft soil but died because it was too hard to digest."
The Great Wilderness God said, "This King has decided to test Lin Muyu's credibility. Send someone out of the valley and tell Lin Muyu that if she wants to gain our trust, she must first send us thirty thousand kilograms of food."
"Yes, Royal Father!"
…
At dusk, with Lin Muyu's permission, a total of thirty thousand kilograms of potatoes and rations were transported into the valley by the unarmed warriors of the Great Wilderness Tribe.
Under the setting sun, the armor of the imperial generals outside the valley was suffused with a moving radiance.
Wei Qiu asked with a puzzled expression: "Commander, our own food is already very difficult, why do we still have to give food to this group of barbarians? Didn't you say that you want to starve them, let them have a taste of hunger, and then force them to surrender?"
"Yes, I think they have already tasted hunger. Otherwise, someone as arrogant as the Great Wilderness God wouldn't beg us for food." Lin Muyu's eyes lit up. "This time, he is testing me to see if I really have the intention to accept them. Moreover, I want the Great Wilderness Tribe's warriors to be alive and kicking, not people who starve to death. Be patient, they will surrender soon. At that time, we will need to prepare more food."
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
Tang Zhen happily said, "Congratulations, Commander, we are about to reclaim the Great Wilderness Tribe!"
"Mm."
Lin Muyu didn't look too happy. Instead, her handsome face showed some worry. "I just don't know how the war between the Empire and the Demon Race is progressing … I hope it goes smoothly. I hope that Xiao Yin and Brother Feng are fine."
"Commander, don't worry. Her Highness the Empress is the ruler of the world and will be protected by the gods."
"If the gods were protecting them, good people like Chu Huaiyin and Qin Lei wouldn't have died." Lin Muyu looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh. "I wonder when these wars will end."
Wei Chou was stunned. "Commander … are you tired of these endless wars?"
"How can I not be tired?"
Lin Muyu gently grasped the hilt of her sword. "Who doesn't want to be by the side of their loved ones? Who doesn't want to live a carefree life like Xiao Yao? It's just that as long as the war continues, such days will never come."
"Mm …"
Tang Xiaoxi faintly nodded. Her pair of beautiful eyes looked towards the jungle in the east. No one knew what she was thinking.
… …
Night slowly fell. The sound of rushing water came from the tributary of the Daojiang River in Cangnan Province. The bright moon refracted beautiful rays of light in the sky, shining on this once extremely beautiful land.
The light of the torch illuminated Qin Yin's beautiful face. She looked at the light of the bonfires in the Demon Race's camp on the east bank and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness." Feng Jixing cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate will keep watch. Your Highness should rest early."
"No, I don't want to sleep yet."
Qin Yin looked at the opposite bank and asked, "General Feng, what do you think the Demon Race's plan is? It has already been more than ten days and they haven't made a move. They are only mobilizing their troops. Which city will they attack?"
"This general doesn't know."
Feng Jixing: "Qian Feng is an extremely intelligent fellow, maybe … he is plotting something. The only thing we can do is to sit back and observe the changes, and then strike after the enemy strikes. The steel wall is basically completed, Your Highness, don't worry, the Demon Race is not good at attacking cities, even if they have siege weapons, they might not be able to climb up the wall. As long as we guard this line of defense, there will naturally be no worries.
"Mm, how is the war in the Endless Forest?"
"Very smooth. I believe that Yu will be able to defeat the Great Savage Race's army in one fell swoop."
"Mm, that's good."
… …
The moonlight was like water, shining on the earth. On both sides of the tributary of the Daojiang River, the light of the fire connected. This war would determine the situation and fate of the Shattered Cauldron Realm continent for the next hundred years.
