461: Chapter 456: Delicious Wild Mushrooms 461: Chapter 456: Delicious Wild Mushrooms Just as Ye Tian was speaking, the leader of the native squad rushed toward him.
Relying on his own tall stature, he simply did not take Ye Tian seriously.
A fierce slap was hurled towards Ye Tian’s face!
Ye Tian responded with a slight smile and extended his fist, clashing with the leader of the native squad in a punch-and-palm exchange!
“Bang!”
After a dull thud, Ye Tian still stood unmoving, but the leader of the native squad had been sent flying, landing awkwardly on the ground.
The leader’s hand had been fractured by the force of Ye Tian’s punch, and he could hardly believe his own eyes.
This foreigner with yellow skin actually had greater strength than his own, despite his much smaller stature…
“All together, get him!”
The native squad leader shouted loudly, and the four or five natives on his team all pounced towards Ye Tian.
Each of the natives was over two meters tall, their imposing presence was enough to make Xia Ya break out in a cold sweat on Ye Tian’s behalf.
But Xia Ya’s concern was unnecessary, as Ye Tian stood his ground without moving his feet, simply extending his hands, whether to punch or to strike…
Inside Ye Tian’s not particularly large body was a colossal strength that seemed beyond belief!
The four or five natives were promptly sent flying by Ye Tian…
Including the team leader himself, all the natives lay on the ground, wailing continuously.
All of the natives could not believe their eyes, how could this short, yellow-skinned man be so formidable?
“We, we’re leaving…”
The native squad’s leader ordered, struggling to get up from the ground.
The rest of the natives also followed their leader, leaving together…
“Are you okay?”
Xia Ya asked worriedly, Ye Tian had just contended with several tall natives, and though he had won, their size made it less likely that Ye Tian hadn’t been hurt, especially considering the natives lived in the dense jungle and might use poison.
“Don’t worry!
I’m fine!”
Ye Tian lifted his arm, showing off his muscles to Xia Ya.
Then, Xia Ya finally felt relieved, it seemed that Ye Tian was indeed unharmed…
“But where should we go from here?”
At this moment, Ye Tian and Xia Ya had lost their way in the dense jungle, and Xia Ya did not know how to find their bearings.
“It’s simple, those natives just ran away, we can just head in the direction they fled!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, pointing straight ahead, and the two continued on their way.
The news of the native squad’s defeat reached the ears of the chieftain, and a look of surprise spread across his face.
“What, there is someone so formidable?
And this person can also speak our tribal language?”
The chieftain had thought that sending a small team would be sufficient to capture the intruder, but unexpectedly, the entire native team had been trounced.
And from the words of the returning squad members, the chieftain clearly realized that this intruder was extremely powerful.
“In that case, Hake, you go!”
The chieftain said to a person standing beside him.
This Tasmanian native was well over two and a half meters tall, standing like an elephant.
“Yes, Chieftain!
I will surely bring back the intruder’s body!”
Hake, as proud as an elephant, left with a few of his personal natives from the tribal encampment.
The chieftain felt reassured by Hake’s involvement.
This island had been landed on by outsiders before, who brought with them formidable weapons, but they never conquered the island, because the Tasmanian natives’ combat capabilities were enormously strong.
Simple firearms were no match for this group of natives!
Meanwhile, Ye Tian and Xia Ya were still threading through the dense jungle.
Though she enjoyed being with Ye Tian, Xia Ya’s strength was limited.
After surviving a terrible storm, escaping from sharks, and now coming to this island…
Throughout this ordeal, Xia Ya had not eaten anything, and her stomach had long been growling with hunger.
“I can’t go on!”
Xia Ya collapsed on the ground, and seeing this, Ye Tian chuckled and sat down as well.
“Let’s have something to eat!”
Ye Tian suggested, but Xia Ya looked bewildered.
“But we don’t have anything to eat with us, what can we eat?”
Ye Tian pointed to the soil below and said, “I’m very familiar with subtropical rainforests like this.
Beneath the seemingly infertile soil lies very delicious food!”
Saying this, Ye Tian found the right spot and gently scooped with his hand, and a wild mushroom was unearthed, pale yellow and seemingly delicious.
“Can we eat these wild mushrooms?”
Xia Ya was somewhat concerned, as many wild mushrooms are poisonous, and she didn’t want to eat something toxic just because she was hungry.
“Don’t worry!
They’re not poisonous!”
Ye Tian assured her, and then he took the mushroom to his mouth and bit into it vigorously, chewing with relish.
“These wild mushrooms can be eaten raw, but of course, they would taste even better if roasted over fire!”
Seeing Ye Tian eating it, Xia Ya felt at ease.
She took the mushroom from Ye Tian’s hand and hesitantly placed it in her mouth.
The flavor is indeed not bad, it has a feeling of a mix of chicken and beef!
Ye Tian dug out a few wild mushrooms from the soil beneath his feet, each mushroom was very large in size, and they looked so inviting.
This time, the two of them did not eat them raw; Ye Tian found some dried firewood on the ground, and then, he took out a wooden knife carved from the core of a millennium ancient tree from his body.
He channeled his Inner Strength, and immediately, streaks of lightning swirled around the wooden knife; Ye Tian used the sparks emitted by the lightning to ignite the firewood.
Xia Ya couldn’t help but be dumbfounded as she watched, having never seen such a way of living before.
Was this considered rubbing sticks together to make fire?
Although she identified as a pirate, her ability to survive in the wilderness was probably less than one ten-thousandth of Ye Tian’s…
“You are so familiar with the jungle environment and even know the language of the indigenous tribes, have you lived in the jungle often in the past?
Could it be that you’re an explorer?”
Surprised, Xia Ya asked, but Ye Tian just smiled.
“In the past, I lived alongside the jungle, not only familiar with the laws of life in the jungle, but I have also dealt with many indigenous people.”
As he spoke, Ye Tian passed a roasted mushroom to Xia Ya.
Xia Ya didn’t hesitate and began to eat it eagerly; as Ye Tian had said, after roasting, the mushrooms tasted much better than they did raw!
They were fresh, tender and juicy, and the glutamic acid in the mushrooms also overflowed due to the roasting, making the flavor even more delightful…
Xia Ya couldn’t help but eat a lot, and Ye Tian also ate.
As the two of them were enjoying their food, a group of Tasmanian Aboriginals approached Ye Tian and Xia Ya.
Xia Ya looked at the Aboriginal leader in surprise and was startled!
This guy’s height, isn’t it a bit too much, at least two-and-a-half meters tall!!
In this world, the tallest people are only about two meters two, and although some people grow tall, their physique is not necessarily strong.
But the Aboriginal man before her was not only tall but also exceptionally bulky, looking like a green giant, it was chilling…
Just by staring at this Aboriginal man, Xia Ya felt uncomfortable all over, and she involuntarily put down the roasted mushroom she was holding to her mouth.
But Ye Tian appeared quite composed, continuing to eat the mushroom in his mouth.
Hake didn’t stand for it and walked up to Ye Tian, arrogantly said, “I didn’t expect such a small man to actually be able to defeat the warriors of our tribe?”
The contempt was obvious, given Ye Tian’s slim build; he must have beaten the Tasmanian tribe’s warriors purely out of luck.
“Really, not even able to eat in peace!”
Ye Tian responded in Tasmanian too, causing Hake to be taken aback momentarily, not expecting the intruder to speak their native tongue.
“Since you can speak our language, then your meat must taste even better!”
Hake laughed wildly and swung the stone axe in his hand.
The stone axe was one meter eight long, even a bit taller than Ye Tian.
Xia Ya was startled by the strong build of Hake, and the weapon in his hand was even more dreadful.
“Clang!”
The stone axe in Hake’s hand chopped down fiercely, creating a large hole in the ground.
Ye Tian laughed, unshaken, as the strike did not hit him…
Seeing his attempt at intimidation had no effect, Hake grew even angrier!
“You yellow-skinned man, we will skin you and spread it on the seat after we capture you!”
Hake shouted, opening his mouth wide to reveal a full set of fangs, more terrifying than a shark’s gaping maw.
Xia Ya quietly asked Ye Tian, “This man is so scary, are you really going to fight him?”
Ye Tian smiled silently and slowly stood up, having finished eating the roasted mushroom in his hand.
“Burp~~~~”
Ye Tian let out a rather inelegant belch, which profoundly angered Hake.
“To dare eat in front of me, watch me disembowel you!”
As he spoke, Hake swung the huge stone axe in his hand, no longer holding back, aiming for the top of Ye Tian’s head.
With Ye Tian’s frame, the axe coming down could turn him into a meat paste…
The few Aboriginal subordinates that Hake had brought along laughed as they watched him.
This white-skinned intruder dared to contend with Hake the mighty warrior, his death was certain now.
Since there was only one opponent, none of these subordinates felt the need to help, all watching from the sidelines…
“Whoosh!”
However, the huge stone axe in Hake’s hand did not manage to hit Ye Tian; at the critical moment, Ye Tian deftly dodged it.
The stone axe landed heavily on the ground, causing dirt to fly – the force of the strike was enormous!
And Ye Tian showed no fear of the stone axe’s great power; he stepped forward nimbly, delivering a palm strike towards Hake’s waist.
“To actually counterattack?”
Hake was taken aback to see someone avoid his attack and even counterattack, but compared to his own hand, Ye Tian’s palm was much smaller.
Hake quickly protected his waist with his hand.
“Boom!”
A loud noise resounded, and Ye Tian’s palm strike didn’t hit Hake’s abdomen but struck his arm instead.
