Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 336 I'll reluctantly accept you.

The giant python was completely taken aback: "Hiss!!!"

After tossing a piece of meat to the leader of the apes, Yuan Lang sat down between the two beasts, holding the fragrant roasted meat and eating it with his mouth full of oil.

They even changed positions during the process, mainly because the two beasts' saliva was spreading too quickly.

He tossed aside the wooden skewer that had been used to skewer the roasting meat, clapped his hands, stood up, and looked at the two ferocious beasts: "Which of you should we start with?"

The giant python and the docile ape leader shuddered, inexplicably feeling a chill.

Seeing Yuan Lang pull out a wooden stick from behind him, the bluish-black tip gave the Shunyuan leader a bad feeling: "Roar!"

As a giant python that possesses venom, it was naturally very familiar with the smell of the venom at the tip of the wooden spear, and its snake eyes widened in surprise.

Have these orcs become so despicable now?
Wu Yue, the despicable member of the distant Snow Tiger tribe: "."

Yuan Lang raised the wooden spear in his hand and walked straight toward the leader of the Shun Yuan, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

Seeing this, the leader of the apes slowly revealed his ferocious nature, baring his teeth and roaring at him, bits of flesh still clinging to his sharp teeth.

Yuan Lang walked to its side, raised the wooden spear high in his left hand, and then turned his dark and deep eyes to stare at the giant python. His arm muscles bulged, and he fiercely plunged the spear into the neck of the ape leader.

The already severely injured leader of the Shunyuan could not withstand this attack and died after letting out a few broken growls.

The giant python felt utterly miserable. "You're killing beasts, fine, but why are you watching me?"
Yuan Lang pulled out the still-dripping wooden spear and slowly walked towards the giant python.

The giant python shuddered, and somehow, its massive, thick body began to slowly shrink.

However, as its body shrank, it emitted a series of painful hissing sounds.

When it stopped again, it was less than the length of Yuan Lang's forearm, and it looked at Yuan Lang with a pitiful expression.

Yuan Lang: "."

Is she mistaking him for some kind of female who likes cute things?
Walking up to the giant python and crouching down, the orc's deep eyes now seemed to hold a hint of disdain: "You're injured like this, what use are you? I'd rather kill you and get a crystal core."

Upon hearing this, the giant python hissed anxiously, "Hiss hiss hiss!"

This is so useful! Once I'm healed, I'll show you how to be cool and take you flying!

Yuan Lang glanced at it with disdain, raised the wooden spear in his hand, and was about to stab it.

The giant python felt a chill run down its spine. How harmless and adorable it looked! How could this orc have the heart to kill it?

Just as it closed its tiny, black-bean-like eyes, preparing to die, a series of familiar roars suddenly came from not far away.

Yuan Lang glanced at the small snake at his feet, walked to the side, and let out a deep tiger roar.

It must be that the tribespeople, fearing for their safety, came looking for them.

The giant python was seriously injured and could hardly move for a short time. Yuan Lang picked it up and threw it into the bamboo jar at his waist, leaving only a small hole for it to breathe.

They then began searching for crystal cores on the corpses of the dead beasts around them.

By the time Teng Qian and Teng Kun arrived at the valley with the orc warriors from the Black Wolf Tribe and the Mad Lion Tribe, Yuan Lang had already collected all the crystal cores from the corpses of the ferocious beasts.

There are at least a hundred dead beasts in the valley, but only about twenty of them have crystal cores inside their bodies.

The moment the orcs entered the valley, they were shocked by the intense stench of blood.

Teng Qian, Teng Kun, and the orc warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe rushed to Yuan Lang's side immediately: "Boss, are you alright?"

Yuan Lang shook his head: "It's nothing."

After saying that, he looked at them and said, "Hurry up and collect the beast's pelts and fangs. We need to leave here as soon as possible."

The orcs from the Black Wolf Tribe and the Mad Lion Tribe breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was alright.

Especially the orc warriors of the Mad Lion Tribe who had been attacked by the leader of the Shunyuan tribe, they knew best the strength of the Shunyuan leader.

After thanking Yuan Lang, he diligently helped clean up the fur, fangs, and claws of the ape leader.

They were stunned to see the huge hole in the neck of the Shunyuan leader, from which blood was still trickling out.

He couldn't help but glance furtively at the orc standing in the open space counting crystal cores, then quickly turned back and began working even faster with his hands.

That's too brutal! This was the leader of the Shunyuan tribe, and he was killed just like that, using...
Thinking of the blood-stained wooden spear in the orc's hand, a sense of admiration for the strong couldn't help but rise in my heart.

They were all skilled hunters, and their speed in preparing their prey was truly impressive.

Just as the orc warriors finished gathering all the pelts, the roars of ferocious beasts echoed from afar.

"go!"

The group's expressions hardened, and they shouldered the animal hides and claws, then sped out of the valley, disappearing into the dense jungle in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious beasts, drawn by the smell of blood, were instantly attracted by the corpses in the valley, which became another sumptuous feast.

At this moment, the once empty square in the Snow Tiger Tribe is now bustling with activity.

The males, shirtless, were pounding their wooden pestles with loud, guttural sounds, while in front of them was a stone trough as tall as a thigh.

As the females talked, they tossed the pale yellow, poop-like horned beast eggs from their baskets into the stone trough, while the males were responsible for crushing the eggs into powder and then storing them in rough pottery jars made by the orc warriors.

The half-grown cubs carefully carried the earthenware jars and stored them in the food storage cave in the back mountain.

Because of the discovery of horned beast eggs, a delicious, filling, and easy-to-store food, Wu Yue was granted a secluded cave to live in during the rainy season.

It wasn't until Grandma Huashu took her there that Wuyue learned that during the rainy season, all the tribespeople had to move to a large cave in the back mountains in advance.

The large cave had only one entrance, but inside, orc warriors had dug out countless smaller caves.

Apart from the shaman, all tribesmen who wanted a small cave had to pay a certain amount of food to have the tribe's orc orc warriors help them dig it up, but...
During the rainy season, when the tribesmen struggle to even fill their own stomachs, where would they find extra food to dig caves?

Therefore, ordinary tribesmen would lay thick layers of dry grass in the inner part of the cave to resist the dampness, and families with better conditions could also take out a few animal skins to keep warm.

Those with stronger fighting power at home can naturally be positioned further inside.

As for the slaves, if there was still room in the cave, they could squeeze in at the edge of the cave entrance. If there was no room in the large cave, they could only look for a natural cave on the back mountain to take shelter from the rain.

The natural caves were very small, and they had to search for a long time in the rain to find one. Many slaves couldn't even hide inside and ended up freezing to death.

It wasn't that the lives of slaves who hid in small caves were guaranteed, because during the rainy season, more often than more starved to death than froze to death.

Wu Yue followed Grandma Hua Shu into the large cave. The cave entrance was large enough for two orc warriors to enter side by side.

To her surprise, after entering through such a narrow opening, she found herself in a huge cave, like an overturned bottle.

The cave was very high. Standing at the bottom, one could see an opening at the top, and below that opening, a small pool had been dug out. Perhaps because of the rain in the previous few days, the pool was still somewhat damp.

"These are pools dug by the males, because rainwater would fall down from the holes above them."

Before we had this pool, rainwater would flow everywhere, soaking our hay, animal hides, and even our food.

Now that we have this pool, the rainwater not only won't wet our belongings, but it's even drinkable, so the villagers no longer need to brave the rain to fetch water.

Go out in the rain to fetch water?

Wu Yue looked at the hole above her head: "If I stand here and open my mouth, I can drink water, right?"

Unexpectedly, Grandma Flower Tree glared at her irritably: "It's very cold during the rainy season. Animal hides and hay are very precious items. What if they get wet?"

Wu Yue really wanted to say that running naked here isn't such a strange thing, is it?

Grandma Flower Tree then added, "If you don't wear animal skins or hay, you'll easily get sick if you get wet in the rain. Herbs are very precious."

Wu Yue: "."

So, are all the animals that go out to fetch water strong and healthy beasts?

Well, these days, nothing is worse than food, and nothing is worse than illness.

“Look, your cave is next to our cave, on the second level near the middle.”

Upon hearing the second layer, Wu Yue felt a chill run down her spine.

Then, following Grandma Huashu's finger, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The orc warriors were incredibly thoughtful; they even carved steps into the cave wall.

"The caves on the second floor are mostly for orc families or half-orc families with female members, because the caves on the first floor are more damp, and female members are more likely to get sick if they live there."

Wu Yue nodded to show she understood, but when she thought of the many pure human females whose bodies were weaker than female beastmen, she could only sigh helplessly.

In such a world, one is not entitled to higher treatment without equal strength and effort.

Compared to female orcs who can run and hunt outside like male orc warriors and constantly face life-threatening dangers, pure-blooded females who can only gather resources do indeed pay a much lower price. At least when they go out to gather resources, they are protected, and when they stay in the tribe, they are not in much danger.

The pay is naturally much lower.

"Come in and have a look."

Grandma Huashu greeted her, her eyes even showing a hint of envy.

Wu Yue followed her inside. The cave wasn't very big, but it was spacious enough for one person to live in.

Remembering Grandma Huashu's envious look earlier, she couldn't help but ask, "Are all the caves here this size?"

Grandma Huashu nodded: "Yes, besides the witch, you are the only one who can live alone in a cave here."

So, even orc warrior families are all crammed into a single cave?

"Go back and start packing up the items you'll need for the rainy season. We'll have the males help transport them over in a few days."

If we have enough food, we should move it into the cave earlier.

Wu Yue nodded: "Okay, I understand."

There are still many unused areas in the cave. Wu Yue looked at Grandma Flower Tree and asked, "Grandma, did the orcs and orc warriors go out hunting during the rainy season in the past?"

Hua Shu nodded: "Yes, we don't have much food to preserve, so in order to survive, orc warriors and half-orc warriors need to go out and find food."

Wu Yue nodded. So, when they needed to go out hunting for food every day, they had to pay for food if they wanted them to dig a cave.

After thinking about it, she secretly made a decision.

After returning to the tribe, Wu Yue and Qing Cao went to find the pure-blooded people of the tribe and gathered them all in their own courtyards.

"I've called everyone here today because there's something I want to discuss with you all."

This year's rainy season allowed us to find food that can be preserved, so the orcs and orc warriors no longer need to go out hunting so frequently.

Has anyone considered asking them to help us dig a cave?

Upon hearing this, some members of the tribe's eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, in the past, the orcs and orc warriors were too busy searching for food to have time.

They didn't have enough food to ask them to give up hunting and help dig caves. With plenty of food during the rainy season, wasn't this a great opportunity?

Many members of the clan immediately echoed this sentiment.

However, some of the innocent people looked hesitant, and Wu Yue did not force them.

“Every family’s situation is different, so I will go to the orc warrior later to discuss the excavation of caves during the rainy season.”

Those tribespeople who want the cave should prepare food in advance, and then come one family at a time.

After everyone dispersed, Qingcao chuckled and squeezed next to Wuyue: "Yue, do you want the slaves to live in the big cave too?"

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow: "I went to check the caves yesterday. The caves of the orcs and half-orc warriors are concentrated on one side of the cave wall, and there are only a few scattered ones on the other side near the top."

If the cave could be excavated, more people could live inside, and so many slaves wouldn't die every rainy season.

Green Grass patted her on the shoulder: "These slaves are really lucky to have a boss like you."

Wu Yue glanced at her sideways: "Where did you learn the word 'boss' from?"

Aren't you, a female from the primitive beast world, a little too damp?

Qingcao poked her finger shyly, but her little expression clearly showed a hint of pride: "Tengkun told me that he and Tengqian call Yuanlang Boss."

Wu Yue was speechless. So her previous vague guess was actually correct. This girl was indeed influenced by Teng Kun.

“BOOM! BOOM!”

As the two were talking, the sky above them suddenly darkened, followed by a series of muffled rumbling sounds.

The deafening thunder was so different from the previous rainstorms.

Meanwhile, Qingcao, whose face was already deathly pale, grabbed Wuyue's arm with trembling lips: "Yue, let's go home quickly, the rainy season has come early!"
