Chapter 18 Food
After a while, a flash of fire flashed in the darkness, and three vague figures walked towards Thor and them, the voice that spoke just now was black-toothed, and at this time, the fire vaguely reflected a tall figure much taller than Pompeii, which was naturally Kratos.

Confirming that it was the friends, Thor shouted, "Blacktooth, Kratos—"
"Is it Noam—?" the three on the other side paused, and then Blacktooth quickly recognized the owner of the voice.
"It's me, where have you been?" As Thor spoke, the three of them had already arrived in front of Thor, and in addition to Blacktooth and Kratos, there was also a little boy holding a ball of white flowers in his hand, looking at Thor with adoration.
The boy was Blacktooth's younger brother named Tula, and because Blacktooth's name was given by his father, his only brother naturally inherited his father's name.
Thor recognized this little boy, in the martial barbarian tribe, Tula often fell into the target of bullying by other barbarian children, because he behaved too strangely, not as active as children of the same age, and did not like to fight with others, so thin that even Black Tooth couldn't help but shake his head and sigh every time he mentioned his brother: "Too weak." ”
Hearing that his only hobby was collecting strange stones, Thor thought the little boy was quite cute, and seeing that he also followed Kratos and them in to explore the way, I think it was after the storm that changed his personality a little.
So Saul squatted down, smiled at the white filament in his hand, and quipped, "Is this your new collection again?"
Tula blinked his big shining eyes, he and Thor had naturally known each other for a long time, but recently the little boy felt that Big Brother Thor seemed to be much gentler than before since he became Nome, and liked to laugh more, you must know that when he was a child, he was a little afraid of this fierce "big brother".
"This is what Uncle Kratos picked up from the hole. The little boy replied innocently.
Thor stiffened his face to prevent himself from laughing, and glanced at Kratos out of the corner of his eye, he had never heard of any warrior of the tribe dare to call Kratos "uncle", as a god-like existence in the tribe, Kratos is the idol of all warriors, in some ways, little Tula may have defeated all warriors.
However, Thor found that although Kratos was almost cold-blooded and ruthless in battle, he usually looked cold when he got along with people, and even in the face of Thor he didn't say much, but he was extremely tolerant and patient with children.
"Huh?" was as Thor was thinking about something, and at some point Diana leaned over. She bent down her slender legs and half-crouched beside Thor, her surging chest trembling slightly, making Thor's heart tremble.
"What's going on lately, every time I'm approached by Diana, I feel a little uncontrollable - damn it, restraint, restraint, I'm from the civilized world in my bones. Thor could only shift the blame to Diana's good figure, and this convex and backward body really couldn't help but provoke the fire.
"Come, Lord Thor—" Diana, apparently oblivious to Thor's sordid thoughts, stared intently at the food in Tula's hand and hurriedly beckoned.
"Huh?" Thor took a closer look, only to see that what Tula was holding in his hand was not a thin white thread that came out of thin air, but a rotten piece of wood covered with white silk.
"This can't be a mushroom, right?" Thor was surprised, it was even happier than the iron ore he had just discovered, the white filaments looked like they were supposed to be mycelium, covering the rotten wood, some of the mycelium was thick, and even small mushroom sprouts that had just grown could be seen.
"Where did you find it?" Thor asked Blacktooth excitedly, looking up.
As soon as Blacktooth heard that it might be a mushroom, he couldn't help but get serious, he also knew that the tribe was facing a dilemma of food shortage, and the barbarian women usually collected some mushrooms to eat after the rain, which meant that they might have found a large source of food.
"It's right inside, not far away, and there's a lot more. Blacktooth was also excited, and finding new food meant that the people had a better chance of survival.
"Let's go and see. Without hesitation, Thor borrowed another fire, lit the torch in his hand, and ran deeper into the cavern.
It wasn't until the group went into the depths that Thor felt even happier than before, like a poor man with nothing, and suddenly entered the vault where the robbers had buried their treasures.
The surrounding ground was covered with white mycelium, stretching further into the cave, and I don't know how far. The mushrooms in the small patches of mycelium have not yet grown, and some large patches have already grown a handful of large umbrella mushrooms, which look delicious and attractive in gray and white.
Thor couldn't help but lick his tongue, he remembered that he hadn't eaten since he woke up, and imagined grabbing a handful of tender mushrooms and putting them in a clay pot, and then gurgling and boiling them for a while, as if the aroma had penetrated his nostrils.
"It's really mushrooms. Diana's exclamation interrupted Saul's fantasies, and he felt hungrier by now.
"It's all to blame that Tula is in a hurry to take it back to Noam, or we'd have found out that it's a mushroom. Blacktooth said smugly.
"Either way, it's a great deal to find food," Thor crouched down, looked at Tula and smiled, "I heard you like stones, how about I'll give you this as a reward?"
"Really...... Give it to me?" the little guy flashed his eyes wide, and felt incredulous, and after receiving Thor's smiling affirmation, the little boy excitedly put down the dead wood in his hand, took the ore, and carefully wiped it with the corner of the animal's skin skirt, cherishing it very much.
"When the rain came, I lost all my stones, but I didn't expect to get a better one this time! ”
Thor's eyes darkened slightly, then quickly lit up, and said to Tula with a smile: "Then I will find more novel stones in the future, and give them all to you, and guarantee that you will collect more stones than before, how about it?"
"Hmm!" Tula blinked, and he realized that Noem was not as far away from him as he had imagined, but now felt an indescribable sense of intimacy, as if ...... It's like a father who used to be.
Thor straightened up, retracted his smile, and asked his most concerning, "Diana - are these mushrooms poisonous, can they be moved?"
"I think it's okay, Lord Thor, these are ordinary umbrella mushrooms. Diana replied with a gentle smile, "But we can't take too much, we don't have enough utensils, but I think as long as we have some, we can cultivate ourselves." ”
"Of course, there are so many here, and I didn't expect to be able to take them all with me. Listening to Diana's words, Thor let out a long sigh of relief, and his mood suddenly became happy.
