138 The Black Wolf King’s Gratitude

“Wind praying grass, warm in nature, mild and sweet in taste, good for the heart and lungs, dispel dampness and cold, mainly for cold, wind, pain, and gangrene…”

It was actually introducing the special characteristics of that strange plant, even indicating whether the plant’s juice, fruit, pollen, and so on were poisonous.

Mo Ruyue touched a plant next to her with her triangular bayonet again, and a few more lines of words appeared. They were also introducing the medicinal properties.

After testing seven or eight plants, Mo Ruyue was finally sure that this was a herbal field in the entire valley, and the herbs growing here were all extremely rare and precious.

!!

“Is this the black wolf king’s new way of repaying a debt of gratitude? I like it. ”

Mo Ruyue touched her chin and muttered.

She could see that every herb here was not alone, but gathered in small patches. This way, she did not have to worry about picking one or two of them before they ran out.

Since she had already entered Mount Bao, there was no reason for her to return empty-handed.

Mo Ruyue picked four or five stalks of each herb and directly planted them in her space. In the future, she wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to find useful herbs. Even if she didn’t have to sell them, it would still be a big income.

Of course, although there were many herbs in this valley, she was not an extremely greedy person. She had never thought of taking all of them for herself. After all, although the black wolf king had shown her the treasure vault, it did not mean that everything inside would belong to her.

Mo Ruyue looked around as she walked, using the triangular military knife in her hand to identify each herb. After the names and medicinal properties of the herbs were displayed on the screen, she also firmly memorized the contents.

However, a question arose in her heart. If the wolf king knew that there were so many herbs here, why would its people risk their lives to come down the mountain and ask for help when they were sick?

She remembered that when animals were injured or sick, they would look for herbs in the mountains to eat and heal themselves. However, the sick wolves in the wolf pack obviously did not do so.

Mo Ruyue continued to identify the herbs in the valley with this question in mind. She thought that even if she asked the black wolf king, she probably wouldn’t get any answers. After all, the black wolf king couldn’t speak.

However, she soon found the most likely answer.

In a herb garden in the hinterlands of the valley, two wolf corpses were lying. They looked like they had been dead for a few days, but there were no signs of decay. They looked more like two dried corpses.

“It seems like he might have taken the wrong medicine.”

Mo Ruyue mumbled to herself again, but she still found it unbelievable. An animal’s intuition could only be stronger than a human’s, not worse. How could there be a situation where they took the wrong medicine and died?

While she was thinking, she didn’t stop digging. She picked a few plants and put them into her space.

Just like that, she stayed in there for two hours before she slowly returned the way she came. She saw that the black wolf king was still napping on the big rock at the intersection, and it only opened its eyes when it heard her footsteps.

“Thank you for the gifts. I’ve taken a few of each, but there aren’t many. I’m saving the rest for you.”

Mo Ruyue thought for a moment after she finished speaking, but still asked the black wolf king, ” “I saw a dead wolf inside just now. Was it from your pack?”

The black wolf king’s eyes dimmed. This expression already gave Mo Ruyue the answer.

“Then, when you found out that the wolves were sick, you asked them to come here to find herbs to eat. You didn’t expect that the illness wasn’t cured and they even lost their lives. So, you didn’t dare to let the sick wolves take medicine again, so you took the risk to go down the mountain to look for people, and then you came to me, right? ”

Mo Ruyue told it about her previous guess, and as expected, she saw the black wolf king nodding at her.

As expected, my guess was right.

She nodded in her heart. This made sense. The sick wolf might have died because of its serious illness or some other reason. It had taken the wrong medicine or too much medicine.

However, if she could study the wolf’s corpse, she might be able to find out the cause of death more clearly.

Although Mo Ruyue had such a thought in her mind, she knew in her heart that the black wolf king would never agree to such a request.

Moreover, the sickly wolves in the wolf pack would soon recover with her treatment, so the real cause of death of the two dead wolves in the valley did not seem to be so important.

“I won’t tell anyone about the existence of this valley. If anyone finds out, it will be a disaster for you.”

Mo Ruyue looked at the black wolf king as if she was talking to it, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

This pack of wolves was obviously guarding this valley. No one knew when and why it started, but one thing was certain: once someone found this valley, they would definitely come and rob it.

The wolf pack would not sit by and watch their life-saving treasure vault be taken away, but no matter how fierce the wolf pack was, they could not defeat a human’s brain and weapons.

Mo Ruyue didn’t want to see this valley destroyed by greedy humans, and she also didn’t want to see this group of wolves die without a burial place.

The black wolf king quietly looked back at Mo Ruyue, its eyes as clear as water, as if telling her that by bringing her here, it trusted her, wanted to repay her kindness, and also believed in the promise she made at this moment.

After a brief eye contact, the black wolf king once again led Mo Ruyue and ran back the way they had come. It could have used all kinds of detours to confuse Mo Ruyue and protect the valley, but it didn’t.

They would return the way they came. Wolves were cunning, but the black wolf king was completely unguarded against Mo Ruyue.

To Mo Ruyue, it didn’t matter even if the black wolf king took her far away. She had already memorized the route to come here. Next time, even if she entered the mountains alone in the dark, she would be able to find the place.

However, the black wolf king’s trust in her moved her greatly. She didn’t want to disappoint such pure trust.

This time, she was sent by the black wolf king to the foot of the mountain. She could already see the houses in the village in the distance. It was already bright outside. If the black wolf king sent her out again, it would be easily discovered.

Although it was black with a natural protective color, it was too large and eye-catching.

“Alright, let’s stop here.”

Mo Ruyue stopped here. The giant wolf that had followed them did not make any warning sounds, which meant that there was no trace of anyone within a fifty-meter radius.

Therefore, she took out a cart from her space and put all the animals that she had temporarily stored in her space on it.

Of course, the top of the prey was covered with a few large leaves, and on top of the leaves were many herbs picked from the valley.

Mo Ruyue kept a part of it in the space to reproduce, and took out the other part to dry and cook, so that it could be used at any time.

After a while, she saw that the black wolf king was still waiting at the side with the giant wolf, so she said to it, “I’m going to the city tomorrow, and I’ll probably be back very late. The day after tomorrow, I’ll find an opportunity to enter the mountains again. How should I summon you then?”
