Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 145: We’re Done For
A friendly smile spread across Teng Qian’s swollen face. "Thank you, Lio... little female."
Wu Yue remained expressionless. ’Don’t think I don’t know you wanted to call me Lion Head.’
Over the next few days, the young Beastmen all went out to hunt, while the older Beastmen split into two teams.
One team followed the young Beastmen, while the other took Wu Yue to gather herbs in the surrounding area, incidentally scouting for any news of Fierce Beasts.
The last hunt for the Shun Yuan had been extremely dangerous. Wu Yue was well aware of her own limitations, so she decided not to get in their way.
The Beastmen’s strength came from battle. Only by constantly tempering and improving themselves in combat could they grow stronger.
It was a completely different method from her own cultivation of witch power.
Wu Yue, who had never seen much of the world, was absolutely stunned by the herbs the System identified deep in the forest.
’Truly, there’s nothing you can’t find here, only things you can’t imagine.’
While the Beastmen were scouting the area, Wu Yue gathered herbs while also smuggling a fair number of them into her System Space.
"System, sort through all these herbs and compile them into a Beast World Herbal Compendium for me. Mark their locations, too."
The System’s listless voice sounded in her mind. "Dog Host, are you trying to make the horse run without feeding it again?
Because of your stinginess, I haven’t had any delicious System-exclusive snacks in a long time.
I’ve analyzed so many herbs for you. Can’t you just treat me like some stray cat or dog and toss me a little something to eat? Is that too much to ask?"
Wu Yue snorted. "Don’t think I don’t know. You’ve skimmed plenty off the top in our past transactions. Don’t play the victim with me."
The System put its hands on its waist—so chubby it was practically invisible—and its short, stubby body bounced around on the interface panel. "Host, you’re so heartless! I’m telling you, being stingy is a bad idea. The little boat of our friendship is ready to capsize at a moment’s notice, you know."
Wu Yue replied, "Then let it capsize. It’s not like the giant ship of love is all that stable anyway. Even the Titanic sank, so what are you expecting?"
System: "..."
’For a moment, I was actually at a loss for words.’
Perhaps because she was busy bantering with the System, Wu Yue failed to notice their surroundings growing unnaturally quiet.
Aside from the rustling of leaves in the wind, the sounds of insects and birds had vanished.
"Little female, come stand in the middle of us."
Yunqi’s voice rang out suddenly. Only then did Wu Yue notice how strange her surroundings had become, and her brow furrowed.
"Uncle, is there... a Fierce Beast here?" she whispered.
Yunqi had a grave expression on his face. "We don’t know what it is yet, but this feels very dangerous."
Only three middle-aged Beastmen had come out with her, plus Wu Yue, who had next to no fighting ability. If they were to encounter a powerful Fierce Beast...
No one felt optimistic.
"System, find that bottle of poison in my System Space."
Wu Yue ordered in a low voice, even generously tipping the System a single point.
The System, having received its tip, was impressively efficient. The bottle of poison appeared instantly in the small basket on her back.
They didn’t have to wait long. Heavy footsteps echoed from up ahead. Everyone turned toward the sound, and two very familiar figures appeared before them.
The color drained from Wu Yue’s face. "It’s two Shun Yuan!"
’A stampede of ten thousand Divine Beasts thundered through her mind. What kind of Immortal-blessed luck was this?’
Perhaps it was because they spotted the three middle-aged males, but the two Shun Yuans’ crimson eyes instantly locked onto the group.
The faces of the three middle-aged Beastmen turned shit-colored. "Fuck, we’re so dead!"
