Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 362 Forest Fire
"Yuan Lang, the forest is on fire!" Wu Yue murmured.

The orc stroked the back of her head, pressed her face against his chest, and said in a deep voice that seemed to come from his chest: "Yes, be good, we will escape."

His voice was hurried, but May knew she was trying to comfort herself.

Although she wasn't a top student in her previous life, she still knew how to save herself as much as possible in the face of such a fire.

"Tongzi, find a suitable direction to build a firebreak."

In such a life-or-death situation, Tongzi naturally wouldn't hold back. He quickly activated the scanning function and instantly determined the location.

"Host, there is a large open area to the left front with few trees and a large grassland, which is very suitable for building a firebreak. The fire is small now, and if the beastmen are fast, they can still save the forest behind it."

The other two sides don't need to be worried about; one is a mountain wall, and the other is a river. Only your side will be affected.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue couldn't help but secretly marvel at the beastmen's good luck, as they had chosen the direction from which the fire would catch up.

"Great!"

After praising Tongzi, Wu Yue's voice rang out in the tense and desperate night: "All orc warriors, advance to the left front. Once you enter the grassland, immediately clear away everything that can be burned horizontally. Be quick, and we can still save the forest behind us."

As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, all the Snow Tiger Tribe orc warriors changed direction and sped off to the left front.

Without a word, the Black Wolf Tribe and the Flying Eagle Tribe followed.

Only the Mad Lion tribe hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the other two tribes followed suit, they also went with the flow.

To the orc warriors' surprise, there was indeed a very wide grassland at the edge of the forest not far away.

An orc warrior from the Flying Eagle tribe swooped down, his sharp claws quickly tearing up a patch of grass to reveal dark brown soil.

The orc warriors of the Snow Tiger tribe all transformed into their beast forms, and with a wave of their large hands, a patch of grass flew up.

Watching the group of wild beasts wildly swinging their claws, Wu Yue finally understood what Tongzi had said earlier: if they were fast enough, they could still save the forest behind them.

Good heavens, that one swipe destroyed at least two square meters of grass.

Perhaps as they gradually became more familiar with each other, the beastmen formed a long line and began to sweep forward. The crackling sound of burning trees behind them gradually drew closer.

Wu Yue could already feel the intense heat of the fire.

"Tongzi, is the width enough?"

"Not enough, make it wider."

If that's not enough, it means the flames could still spread over that width, but...
The intense heat behind her had already caused her hair to curl.

Wu Yue gritted her teeth: "Warriors, use the power of the Beast God to clear away this last patch of grass, and we will succeed."

The orcs naturally felt the intense heat of the forest fire behind them, and the Roarers unanimously activated the power of the Beast God within them to clear the last patch of grass.

Before they could even feel happy, a raging forest fire, accompanied by intense heat, rushed towards them from behind.

Yuan Lang hugged Wu Yue tightly, pushed off the ground with his feet, and lunged forward.

The raging fire behind them seemed to let out a defiant roar, before slowly devouring the few remaining trees that could be consumed.

The four orc warriors who had survived the ordeal swallowed hard as they looked at the raging fire on the other side of the grassland, which had illuminated half the sky.

Then all eyes were drawn to the thin, small female being held in the orc's arms.

The name Wu Yue of the Snow Tiger Tribe was deeply etched into the hearts of every orc warrior present from the four tribes.

"Yue, you're amazing!" The orc warriors of the Snow Tiger tribe jumped up from the ground and began chattering around Yuan Lang.

It's no wonder the orc warriors were excited; every time they drove away the fireball beasts, they went with the intention of losing their lives.

Just like this time, the orc warriors carefully picked up all the feces, but some fireball beasts still missed defecating elsewhere, causing a fire.

The fire likely started during the day, but it was from a great distance.

By the time the orc warriors discovered it, it was too late to extinguish the fire, and they had no choice but to flee.

Fortunately, Wu Yue and Tong Zi were there this time, and they were able to escape.

In the past, when orc warriors encountered such a situation, only the orc warriors of the Flying Eagle Tribe might survive; for the orc warriors of other tribes, only death awaited them.

The fire on the other side of the firebreak consumed everything in its path before the fire gradually began to subside.

The orc warriors could already see many wild beast corpses here.

If they hadn't escaped, they would have been part of those corpses too.

After the cheers subsided, looking at the ashes opposite them, the orc warriors felt a deep sense of lingering fear once again.

"Ouch, I don't know if it's because I used too much of the Beast God's power just now, my legs are weak."

An orc warrior from the Black Wolf tribe plopped down on the ground behind him, chuckling awkwardly as he explained his earlier shoveling.

But
If leg weakness #1 has appeared, will leg weakness #2 be far behind?
Sure enough, inspired by this Black Wolf tribe orc warrior, the surrounding orc warriors seemed to awaken their own weakness in the legs and sat down to rest.

"That's right. We just ran for so long and even overdrawn the power of the Beast God in our bodies. We need to rest properly."

"Come on, bro, let me give you a shoulder massage."

"Oh, thank you so much! Come here, let me massage your legs."

Seeing the hypocritical appearance of the orc warriors, Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yuan Lang put her down, but his tall and upright body suddenly fell towards her.

Wu Yue quickly reached out and wrapped her arms around the orc's waist: "What's wrong? Are your legs weak too?"

While asking questions, he didn't forget to pinch the orc's lean waist a couple of times. Tsk tsk, it feels really great!
"How does it feel?" A deep voice sounded in my ear.

Without hesitation, Wu Yue exclaimed in praise, "Fantastic!"

Only after saying that did he realize that his behavior just now was somewhat like taking advantage of someone.

But then he heard Yuan Lang's deep laughter: "Hmm, my legs are weak, could you please help me, little female?"

Wu Yue is speechless. Although it looks like I'm supporting your weight, the only part of your weight is your arm on my shoulder. What weight am I bearing?

After resting for a while, the beasts finally relaxed completely. Wu Yue bandaged the wounds of several orc warriors in her tribe before wrapping herself in the carcinogenic animal hide, leaning against a large tree, and falling asleep.

After agreeing on the rotation of guards, the orcs took the opportunity to rest.

Even after experiencing such a perilous situation today, their mission to drive away the fireball beast was not yet complete. As long as the fireball beast roamed the polar forest, this danger would persist. The next day, when Wu Yue woke up, she was already in Yuan Lang's arms.

"Where are we going?" she asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

Yuan Lang chuckled: "Let's go back and find the trail of those fireball beasts we missed yesterday. We've decided to drive them deep into the polar forest as soon as possible. It's too dangerous for them to continue wandering in the forest."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue pursed her lips; indeed, these fireball beasts were a source of danger.

But
She peeked out and looked around: "Where are the orc warriors from the other three tribes?"

"Let's go find those fireball beasts we followed yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's eyes lit up. So now our Snow Tiger Tribe is acting alone?

Seeing her bright, sparkling eyes, Yuan Lang smiled and said, "Yes, we'll act alone. There are only our tribe's orc warriors here."

"It's just us, Oh Moon, now we can pick up Fireball Beast droppings whenever we want, hehe."

After the orcs from their own tribes were left alone, everyone became noticeably more active.

Following the trail of the fire, they finally found three Fireball Beast cubs in a small canyon.

Yes, they are cubs, but these cubs look like they fell from a great height, and each cub has an injured leg.

The three little ones huddled together, mooing pitifully.

Not far from them, there was a clearly burned area.

There were still some bloodstains on the surrounding rocks, clearly indicating that yesterday's fire was caused by these three little guys.

But they were quite clever; they dragged their injured legs to a place where there were no plants or trees.

But they're all stuck here and can't get out.

If it weren't for those guys coming to find us today, I believe these little guys would just be waiting to die here.

Wu Yue stepped forward and reached out to pat the head of one of the Fireball Beast cubs. The little guy seemed to sense her kindness and mooed very obediently.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up even more: "So good, hehe."

After feeding the three little fireball beasts a few fresh fruits, Wu Yue looked at the tribespeople around her and asked, "How about we take these three fireball beasts back to the tribe?"

Upon hearing this, the orc warriors felt their jaws nearly drop to the ground, staring at Wu Yue in disbelief: "This is a Fireball Beast! It's too dangerous to take it back to the tribe."

"There are only three cubs, and they only eat grass that can be found everywhere outside. As long as we take them back to the tribe and assign orc warriors to take care of them, then we can collect the Fireball Beast's droppings every day."

Upon hearing this, the orc warriors' eyes lit up instantly.

Yuan Lang nodded in agreement: "As long as there are dedicated orc warriors to watch over them and keep them in their enclosures at night, there shouldn't be any problems."

After saying that, he directly pointed out four orc warriors: "You four take these three fireball beast cubs back to the tribe, tell the shaman and the chieftain about the fireball beast excrement, and then keep a close watch on these three fireball beasts in the tribe."

The four orc warriors looked at each other in bewilderment: "Yuan Lang, if we go back, there will be far fewer of you, which is too dangerous."

"After we escort you for a while, we will go back to find the orc warriors of the other three tribes. It will be much safer if the four tribes are together."

Wu Yue nodded: "Just listen to Yuan Lang. These three fireball beasts are very important to us. We must bring them back to the tribe."

Entrusted with this task, the four beasts instantly felt a great sense of responsibility.

After escorting them to the edge of the two tribes' territories and watching them set foot on the Snow Tiger tribe's territory, Yuan Lang led the remaining tribesmen toward the place where the tents had been set up before the fire broke out.

Perhaps knowing that Yuan Lang and his group would be watching, the orc warriors from the three tribes left obvious scent trails along the way.

Following the scent, they finally met up with orc warriors from the other three tribes at the edge of the deep forest.

Seeing that there were fewer orc warriors from the Snow Tiger tribe, the three orc warriors paused in surprise.

Did you encounter any danger on the way?

Yuan Lang nodded solemnly: "We encountered a saber-toothed boar beast squad. Two of our tribesmen were injured, so we sent two tribesmen to escort them back."

We're about to enter the deep forest; taking them with us would be too inconvenient.

Although the orcs were puzzled, they didn't say anything, after all, their lives had been saved by the tribe's shaman disciples.

The fireball beasts they had driven away were now leisurely chewing hay ahead.

The Fireball Beasts of today no longer have the smooth fur they had before the fire; many now bear burn marks on their fur.

From a distance, it actually looks quite like a red cow.

"How long should we keep following them?"

He turned to look at Yuan Lang beside him.

"Follow us to Lenghe. Once we cross Lenghe, we can go back."

冷河
They hadn't heard of Cold River during their last hunt, which meant it was somewhere much deeper.

Is it in the middle of the forest?

Yuan Lang nodded, pursing his lips: "This is the second dangerous place, especially this year, as the habitats of ferocious beasts have shifted outwards, and we are very likely to encounter high-level ferocious beasts in the central region."

Wu Yue's face immediately fell: "Does something like driving away fireball beasts happen every year?"

Seeing her little face all wrinkled up like a steamed bun, Yuan Lang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Naturally, every year during the rainy season, the ferocious beasts living in low-lying areas have to go to other places to avoid the floods."

These fireball beasts live in low-lying areas.

Oh, the floodwaters! You are truly a menace to the land.

Perhaps because they had gone through life and death together last time, the four orc warriors from different tribes had become much closer.

In the evening, everyone sat together eating and talking about the upcoming trade fair.

When it comes to the trade fair, what everyone is most curious about are naturally the tribes outside the forest, and the orc warriors of the Flying Eagle Tribe are the ones who have the most to say about this.

An orc warrior from the Flying Eagle tribe was surrounded by orc warriors from three other tribes, sharing what he knew.

"It should be the same few people from the Poison Scorpion Tribe, but our shaman said that this time we must see if that despicable sorcerer will disguise himself as someone else and sneak in to cause trouble."

"He caused our tribe to lose so many cubs. We'll make him pay once we catch him."
