Chapter 192: Chapter 192: If Only We Could Trade (4 Updates)

The two didn’t dare to stop and continued running towards the campsite. However, the speed slowed down a bit. After all, if there was anything chasing them, they could hear the commotion.

When the two returned to the campsite, it was not even three o’clock.

After returning to the camp, Xu Yi immediately fixed the two hides on the tripod, then put the two raw hides taken down from the tripod into the earth kiln, ready to use the smoking method to treat the fur.

"Xu Yi, the rabbit grass is gone too. I’ll go cut some Clover back." Lu Ke thought the rabbits and chicks hadn’t eaten Clover for a long time. Since it was still early, she could completely make a run and cut some Clover back.

After all, her skills were pretty good now, and she kind of wanted to try going a bit farther on her own.

"Let me go instead. You can make the clay embryo at the camp. We still need a few clay pots to store honey." Xu Yi thought it was better for him to go. If he encountered any beast or other situation, it would be better than Lu Ke.

"Is your hand okay?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi’s hand and asked worriedly. She feared Xu Yi’s hand injury might affect his bow and arrow shooting.

"It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt much now." Saying this, Xu Yi waved his hand, indicating that he was okay.

"Alright then. If there’s enough time, bring back some fishmint or make some tofu from firewood. Now that we have honey, adding some when making tofu will definitely make it taste great." Lu Ke said to Xu Yi. If it weren’t for wanting to make the clay pot quickly, she would have planned to go with Xu Yi.

Unfortunately, she was worried about affecting Xu Yi’s plan to move the camp, so she could only stay home to make clay embryos and tend to the fur in the earth kiln to prevent it from getting over-smoked and burned.

"Alright, got it. Anything else needed?" Xu Yi felt like he was going out to buy groceries.

"That’s all I thought of." Lu Ke said with a smile, though she wanted some other vegetables. Unfortunately, there were none.

"Okay, stay safe. I’ll be back as soon as I can." After saying that, Xu Yi carried his basket, took his weapons, and left directly.

Lu Ke nodded, watched Xu Yi enter the jungle, and only then closed the gate to the fence.

Alone at the camp, Lu Ke hummed softly while working with clay.

Xu Yi walked quite quickly in the jungle. He wanted to cut a basket of Clover and then head to pick some firewood tofu leaves and some fishmint.

They hadn’t eaten much vegetables for several days and indeed needed some vegetables now.

The journey was quite peaceful, and there were no encounters with wild beasts.

So, Xu Yi arrived at the Clover area in less than 35 minutes and took 20 minutes to cut a basket full of Clover.

During this time, it seemed that no animals came to forage here.

Xu Yi guessed that the animals in this area might have been hunted by Wang Jin and Lu Yao or scared away.

After cutting the Clover, Xu Yi immediately hurried to where the firewood tofu grew.

This time, Xu Yi didn’t just pick leaves but broke the branches together. After all, picking leaves was too time-consuming, and he wanted to return as early as possible.

After breaking quite a bit of firewood tofu, Xu Yi promptly rushed to the next destination.

The fishmint was growing very densely.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t eat it every day and could only eat some every now and then.

After picking some fishmint, Xu Yi returned to the camp with a full harvest.

When he returned to the camp, he found the camp’s door was ajar.

His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but shout, "Lu Ke."

While shouting, he rushed into the camp.

"Xu Yi, you’re back?" Lu Ke appeared at the door, making Xu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

He had really thought Lu Ke had gotten into trouble just now.

"Wang Jin and Lu Yao left not long ago, so I didn’t close the door. They probably haven’t gone far, just left a minute ago." Lu Ke explained immediately upon seeing Xu Yi’s expression.

Indeed, Wang Jin and Lu Yao hadn’t gone far.

"Sis, Xu Yi is back." Wang Jin heard Xu Yi’s voice and couldn’t help but look back.

"Why, you still want to go back and greet, talk a bit?" Carrying a Tree Sheep, Lu Yao looked at Wang Jin. Today they were out nearly all day and only encountered one Tree Sheep, earning 2 points.

Though they had 72 points, Lu Yao knew they still had a gap compared to Xu Yi.

Judging by the furs at Xu Yi’s camp, they had also hunted two Raccoon Monkeys.

But what shocked Lu Yao the most was that Xu Yi and Lu Yao had a bear skin at their camp.

Killing a Black Bear was such high skill indeed.

She felt that she and Wang Jin couldn’t kill a Black Bear. At least, not at the moment.

Unless it was an injured Black Bear.

However, she didn’t think Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s Black Bear was an injured one.

Because Lu Ke mentioned that the Black Bear came looking for honey.

"No, just thought it was a bit unfortunate that we just came out, and he returned." Wang Jin swayed her ponytail and started stepping forward.

"Xu Yi and the others are too lucky, huh, even having honey. It tastes so good, I wish I could bring some back." Saying this, Wang Jin licked her lips, feeling the sweet taste of honey water still on them.

"You can just imagine it." Lu Yao replied.

"It’d be great if we could trade, we’d trade dried mangoes with them, they’d surely be willing." Wang Jin puffed her cheeks. Now her skin was so dry that some honey was needed to improve it.

"Better not, if judged as mutual assistance, we’d be out." Lu Yao thought if they got eliminated this way, it would be a lifelong regret.

"I know, just wishful thinking. Lu Ke said they have quite a lot of honey, and we’ve held on for 45 days already. In another 55 days, we can discuss cooperation. Even if we can’t cooperate then, we can do some trading or something, right? Hopefully, they’ll still have honey then." Wang Jin started speaking and had her wits about, wouldn’t really try testing the organizers’ limits.

"We can find it ourselves, why trade?" Lu Yao thought, since this planet had bees, they could possibly find honey themselves too.

"Right, I didn’t think of that. Such a large island must have more than one beehive." Wang Jin slapped her forehead, then looked at Lu Yao awkwardly.

Wang Jin saw Lu Yao suddenly stop, and felt some doubt.

Just as she intended to ask, she heard Lu Yao say.

"What’s that sound?" Lu Yao suddenly glanced in the direction of the sea.
