They didn’t really feel it when they first arrived, and it was only when they went out did they realize how tight the security in the tiger village was—guards would keep watch at designated points on a higher altitude, making it very difficult for one to slip into the village unnoticed.

No wonder they were discovered yesterday upon arrival.

Even Parker was very satisfied with this. He said to Bai Qingqing, “Not bad. You should be very safe here.”

“With you guys around, how can I not be safe?” Bai Qingqing asked in turn. She pointed ahead and asked, “Look, what’s that over there? Seems like fruits.”

Parker jogged over and saw that it was a short tree resembling a mushroom, with plenty of red fruits the size of eggs on it.

Bai Qingqing smacked her lips as she reached out to pick one and placed it under her nose for a sniff.

It was a very intense and sweet fragrance, to the point of cloying when sniffed up-close.

“Don’t eat that!” Parker suddenly exclaimed sternly.

Bai Qingqing’s hand trembled, and the fruit nearly slipped from her grasp.

“What’s wrong?”

Parker retreated several steps and gazed at the black and rich soil around the tree, then checked out the surrounding area.

“The soil around this tree is abnormally rich. There are even animal carcasses around. With so many fruits and no one eating them, they must be poisonous. The dead animals then turned into fertilizer for it,” said Parker. This was general knowledge that every male must know.

Bai Qingqing gulped her saliva. “Surely not?”

Bai Qingqing neither ate it nor tossed it away. Instead, she wrapped the fruit using a tree leaf, then placed it inside the animal skin bag.

“I’ll bring it back to show them. It smells so sweet, what a waste that it can’t be eaten.”

Parker turned around and said with a smile as he walked elsewhere, “Just make sure you don’t eat it.”
