Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 284 I'll share the taro with you
The Mad Lion Witch also sighed deeply: "If we can't improve our strength, how will we survive if we encounter a beast tide?"

The Black Wolf Witch's face was ashen: "We shouldn't have agreed to increase the amount of offerings last year. What are we going to do if they increase it again this year?"

The atmosphere inside the cave was tense, with the leaders of several tribes racking their brains for the survival of their tribes. But outside the cave, the air was filled with the laughter and joy of the Snow Tiger tribe.

The ordinary people of the tribe were unaware of the difficulties they were about to face. All they knew was that having houses that wouldn't collapse after a single rain and having plenty of food meant a good life.

In the evening, the orc warriors who had gone down the mountain to get food brought back some bad news.

The shaman sent a message through an orc warrior: it will rain again the day after tomorrow.

Wu Yue, who was sitting with her tribesmen enjoying delicious food, suddenly lost her appetite.

Many of the taro roots in the field had already started to rot, but in order not to waste them, Wu Yue collected the ones that were still edible and prepared to make dried taro.

He stuffed all the food in his hand into his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, and swallowed it.

Wu Yue clapped her hands and stood up: "Fellow tribesmen, many of the taro we dug up today have already gone bad. If it rains the day after tomorrow and these taro are left in the ground, even more will rot."

She pointed to the fragrant taro that everyone was eating and said, "Everyone knows how delicious this food is when roasted over a fire. Are we just going to stand by and watch all this food rot in the ground?"

The males looked at the food in their hands, then at Wu Yue, and resolutely stood up: "Absolutely not."

“Such delicious food, Yue said it can be preserved for a long time in the cellar, we can’t just watch it rot.”

"Yue, let's not rest today. Let's all harvest all the taro here."

"Yes, let's not rest, let's harvest the taro here together."

The pure-blooded males were all excited, but what concerned Wu Yue were the many slaves not far away. They were silent, lifeless.

Wu Yue stood up, glanced at the pure-blooded males, and then walked towards the slaves.

Seeing this, Teng Kun quickly followed, and the males looked at each other for a moment before also heading in that direction.

Wu Yue clapped her hands as she watched the slaves numbly munching on the grass balls in their hands.

The crisp sound attracted the slaves' attention; they raised their dirty, disheveled heads and all looked at Wu Yue.

Staring at so many numb eyes, Wu Yue was momentarily shaken, which made her think of herself.

If it weren't for the beast core left behind by the original owner's father, she would probably be one of these slaves now, or perhaps already nourishment for the polar forest.

She looked at the slaves with a determined gaze: "If the taro can be dug up before the rain, I will personally apply to the chieftain and the shaman, and each of you will be able to get a taro."

As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, a commotion broke out among the slaves. Not only were the slaves shocked, but the pure-blooded males standing nearby were also shocked.

Slaves are meant to work, so it's only right that they give as much as they can. The tribe just needs to provide them with some food to keep them from starving.

“In the past, no tribe would ever share its food with its slaves.”

There is a male vocal tract.

These words were like a torrential downpour, extinguishing once again the glimmer of hope that had risen in the eyes of the slaves.
