"What's this?" This was the second time Deng Guang had seen this strange thing. "I remember now, you pulled one of these up yesterday, didn't you? Is it edible?"
"I don't know, but we can try it when we get back." Qin Ziwen broke off a Gray Sweet Potato from the root.
Deng Guang found it peculiar. "I've never seen anything like this before."
Qin Ziwen put it in his backpack. "I've only found them in muddy areas. You guys should keep an eye out."
On the way back, they ended up finding seven Gray Sweet Potato plants in the muddy patches of the wilderness. They were scattered sparsely. The root tubers of two plants had bite marks, suggesting that some local animals ate Gray Sweet Potatoes.
On their return trip, he also set down the Earth Cage, sprinkling some earthworm meat inside and tying it to a tree on the bank with a rope.
Then he set up three more hidden snare traps not far from the Earth Cage, which would make them easy to check tomorrow.
