Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 379 Another Gu Witch

The two exchanged a glance, their ill intentions barely concealed. Tongzi, watching their interaction, secretly thought they were a match made in heaven.

The next day, before leaving, the rock salt tribe left only a small amount of salt for their own use, and gave the rest of the water as compensation for harming the cubs.

Even so, the Rock Salt Tribe witch and the orc warriors could still sense the Snow Tiger Tribe's hostility towards them.

Left with no choice but to slink away, the rock salt tribe witch, who had long coveted Yuan Lang, asked him again before leaving if he was willing to leave with her.

However, the orc coldly refused.

Although the rock salt tribe shaman didn't say anything more, the look in her eyes as she left for Yuan Lang told everyone that she would never give up like this.

"I hope to see you again at the next tribal gathering."

The rock salt tribe shaman still wore that standard fake smile, her eyes devoid of any warmth as she looked at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue: "Hehe."

After the Rock Salt Tribe left, the Poison Scorpion Tribe orcs, led by their captain, also came to say goodbye. But for some reason, she felt that the Poison Scorpion Tribe orcs were looking at her strangely.

When they left, the Poison Scorpion Tribe orcs were incredibly fast, disappearing into the forest in just a few moments.

The shamans from the four tribes chattered amongst themselves with the Snow Tiger Shaman, then left satisfied with the things they had plundered from him.

Only Snow Tiger Witch was left standing there with a dark face, rolling his eyes as he watched the direction the group had left.

Meanwhile, compared to the Snow Tiger Witch who was being plundered, there was someone even more miserable.
At noon, Tongzi, with a piece of rock ore in her mouth, looked at the group of rock salt tribe members under the tree with a miserable expression, her heart filled with resentment.

The host is so unreliable, making such an adorable little system do such a chore.

These rock salt tribesmen are moving way too slowly. A whole morning has passed, and they're still wandering around not far from the Snow Tiger tribe.
For some reason, looking at the rock salt tribe shaman who was still cultivating under the tree, Tongzi always felt that this girl was plotting something bad.

Sure enough, these people didn't move until nightfall, and actually found a cave nearby to live in.

Tongzi instantly became alert, keeping a close eye on the rock salt tribe's shaman, because this girl was currently fiddling with something in the stone bowl, constantly muttering incantations.

But soon, Tongzi saw the true nature of what was in the stone bowl.

As the rock salt tribe's shaman opened the stone bowl in her hand, a centipede-like insect, as long as an orc's arm, cautiously crawled out.

The densely packed insect legs were covered with sharp claws, which could easily pierce through the stone bowl. What really made Tongzi Lanmao furious was that after this guy crawled out of the stone bowl, he threw out a dense mass of tiny centipedes from his body, each only the size of a finger joint.

They crawled around like a swarm of insects.

"My lady, we're still very close to the Snow Tiger tribe. If we attack them now, won't we be discovered?"

"I asked an orc warrior with some concern."

The rock salt tribe's witch no longer had the gentle smile she showed to outsiders; her eyes were filled with madness and coldness: "What have you discovered? With so many little ones around, what can they do even if they come after us?"
If we let these little guys hold us off for a while, we'll be able to get very, very far away.

Moreover, it's during the trade fair; they can't afford to harm us.

The orc glanced at her, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing the madness in her eyes, he nodded and stepped aside.

Upon hearing this, the creature on the tree trunk immediately began contacting its dog host.

While Wu Yue was eating, Tongzi's voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, get ready quickly. This witch of the Rock Salt Tribe is a Gu witch, just like the witch of the Poison Scorpion Tribe. She is releasing a lot of centipede-like Gu worms towards the tribe."

I don't know what she's up to, so be careful.

When Wu Yue heard about many centipedes, her body trembled, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.

He immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, and ran outside into the yard.

Yuan Lang and the Teng Qian and Teng Kun brothers were processing the game they had brought back from the hunt when Wu Yue rushed in looking anxious.

Yuan Lang threw down the blood-stained animal hide he was holding and walked towards Wu Yue, who was running towards him at high speed: "What happened?"

Wu Yue's expression was somewhat grim: "The rock salt tribe's witch has released a lot of Gu worms into our tribe. They are centipede-shaped Gu worms. We need to prepare in advance."

Yuan Lang's eyes turned cold. That female was truly an unkillable cockroach, utterly repulsive.

"Go back and prepare some medicinal powder that can resist the Gu worms. I'll go and inform the orc warriors."

Wu Yue nodded: "Okay, you must be careful when you are on patrol."

After saying that, he turned and left. Only after sitting down in the house did he realize how Yuan Lang was going to explain to the tribespeople that he knew about the Gu worms.
But considering her past identity, I'm sure she's just as good at conning people as she is, right?

As it turned out, her worries were completely unnecessary; Yuan Lang simply sold her out.

"Yue sent the little beast out to follow the rock salt tribe. Unexpectedly, when it returned, it caught a Gu worm. Yue only had time to see that it looked like a multi-legged worm before the little beast ate it."

Therefore, Yue instructed us to increase the number of patrols and the frequency of patrols today, to prevent the Gu worms released by the Rock Salt Tribe shaman from having a chance to infiltrate our tribe.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Tiger Witch and the Snow Tiger Clan Chief's expressions instantly turned serious.

A look of disgust appeared on the old face of the Snow Tiger Witch: "I don't know what's wrong with the tribes of the Crimson Flame Plain. Why are there so many Gu witches appearing in recent years?"

Despite the complaints, the necessary preparations still needed to be made. When they learned that the despicable orcs of the Rock Salt Tribe were planning to ambush them, the Snow Tiger Tribe members, with both old and new grudges surging in their hearts, instantly erupted.

They really think the Snow Tigers are easy to bully, huh? They've even come to bully us at home!
Uncle can tolerate this, but Grandma can't!
That evening, the Snow Tiger Tribe's patrol team split into two teams: an open team and a covert team.

The open team consisted of the tribesmen previously assigned, while the dark team was composed mostly of orc warriors. They were to kill or capture any strange orcs who discovered the Gu worms or broke in.

Tongzi's intelligence work is quite good. As expected of the accurate live report, the army of Gu worms sent out by the rock salt tribe's witch arrived at the snow tiger tribe's camp in the middle of the night.

The Snow Tiger tribe members, who were prepared, immediately heard a series of rustling sounds.

Unbeknownst to these centipede worms, a medicinal powder barrier awaited them on the snow tiger tribe's red ground ahead.

Behind them, many orc warriors went around and drew a circle, trapping all the Gu worms inside.

"Sss!" With a sharp screech, the foremost Gu worm let out a piercing cry, raised its body high, and all its densely packed legs began to move, as if the rock salt tribe's witch would give it a few more legs to back away.

The foremost legs had been corroded by the powder, and the head could only droop on the ground.

Seeing their companion in such a miserable state, the surrounding Gu worms finally realized the danger ahead and began to circle around, not daring to cross the invisible line in front of them.

"Host, quickly let my little brothers out for a big meal! These insects are a great tonic for salt crystal beasts."

Tongzi's somewhat anxious voice rang in Wu Yue's mind, and only then did Wu Yue remember the little blue chubby boys who had been raised in the back for a while.

He immediately ordered the orc warrior beside him to bring the little blue fat boys over.

Upon hearing her instructions, the Snow Tiger Witch and the Snow Tiger Clan Chief's eyes lit up.

Because they were afraid of being discovered by the tribes, the little blue chubby creatures in the tribe had sent the little guys to the back mountain a few days before the trade fair.

Thinking of the destructive power of the blue fat cat that Wu Yue had raised against the Gu worms, the eyes of the Snow Tiger tribe members lit up.

Looking at the densely packed centipedes within the circle of medicinal powder ahead, I no longer felt so afraid.

In the distance from the Snow Tiger Tribe's encampment, the Rock Salt Tribe's witch, who was controlling the Gu worms, suddenly turned pale, her eyes snapping open, filled with gloom.

"Damn the Snow Tiger Tribe, why do they have a medicinal powder that can suppress Gu worms!"

The orc warrior guarding her turned around upon hearing this: "Witch, do you remember the time when that sorcerer from the Poison Scorpion Tribe used Gu worms on the Flying Eagle Tribe in the Arctic Forest?"

The rock salt tribe's witch looked grim: "You mean, several tribes in the polar forest are on guard against the Gu worms?"

The orc nodded: "A warrior from the Poison Scorpion tribe once said that the orcs from the Poison Scorpion tribe who were captured in the Snow Tiger tribe were trying to use Gu worms to capture the shaman disciple of the Snow Tiger tribe. However, not only did they fail to capture the female, but they were also somehow taken back to the Snow Tiger tribe to work."

"I was tortured quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, the rock salt tribe witch suddenly recalled the appearance of the scorpion tribe beastmen she had seen before who had stayed in the snow tiger tribe. They looked shriveled up as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry, and she couldn't help but shudder.

But thinking about my purpose, I felt somewhat unwilling.

"Wait a little longer. If they can really deal with the Gu worms, we'll leave immediately."

The beastmen looked at each other, and seeing their priestess's insistence, they could only sigh inwardly and continue to stay by her side.

On the other side, the little blue chubby boys brought over by the orc warriors, whose eyes were still half-asleep, suddenly lit up with a gleam of light the moment they saw the ground covered in Gu worms, as if they were money-grubbers who had found a whole treasure vault.

Without needing any orders, they charged in with howls, and the Gu worms, which had just quieted down a little under the soothing of the Gu worm leader, immediately started moaning.

The fur of the little blue chubby creatures transformed into hard blue crystal walls the moment they jumped into the swarm of Gu worms, and they grabbed handfuls of Gu worms with their little paws and stuffed them into their mouths.

It devoured the Gu worms in large gulps while letting out joyful howls, looking utterly adorable.

Seeing how much they enjoyed it, Wu Yue even wanted to raise some Gu worms for them to eat.

"Tongzi, let's go to the forest and catch some bugs for the little blue fat guys to eat. I think they really like them."

Wu Yue's voice, tinged with laughter, rang in Tongzi's ear.

The blue fat man squatting on the tree trunk rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Dear host, although the witch of the Rock Salt Tribe is not very powerful and the gu worms she cultivates are not as powerful as those of the Gu witch of the Poison Scorpion Tribe, she still used her witch power to raise them."

Do you really think that just because it looks like a centipede, it's just an ordinary insect?

Wu Yue scratched her head awkwardly. Tongzi was right; that was exactly what she had been thinking.

As the number of Gu worms within the circle decreased, the witch of the Rock Salt Tribe in the distance also began to worry.

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, and she closed them, beginning to mutter something silently.

Meanwhile, the army of Gu worms on this side also rushed towards a certain part of the medicine circle like madmen. Countless Gu worms stepped over the corpses of their companions and rushed outwards, actually creating a bridge of insect corpses across the medicine circle.

The beastmen were strong and powerful. With a roar, they charged forward, brandishing their claws.

They had witnessed the power of these Gu worms firsthand. If these things were allowed into the tribe, it would be bad for the young cubs and females.

"Boss, is this rock salt tribe shaman here for you?"

While Teng Qian swung his claws to tear the surrounding Gu worms into pieces, he chuckled and teased Yuan Lang.

He received a sharp rap on the head from the orc.

They could only wail and distance themselves from their leader.

Seeing this, Teng Qian, who was not far away, silently turned his head away, thinking that his own brother was truly a master of courting death.

Even though his head had been pounded so hard by the boss, it couldn't stop him from sitting down and dying. He had never been this persistent before, even during the war.

I still remember that my brother used to be a notorious old fox in the army, a model of running away when he couldn't win, and the number one enemy army hated to the core.

The army of Gu worms was vast. Thinking of the powerful Gu worms of the Poison Scorpion Witch, and then looking at these centipedes that the orc warriors could easily kill, it was clear that they were formidable.

Wu Yue couldn't help but complain, "Is this rock salt tribe's witch trying to make up for the lack of quality with quantity?"

"Fortunately, the little beasts helped us, otherwise we don't know how long it would have taken to deal with so many Gu worms."

The orcs were splashed with some green insect fluid, and the stench made them roll their eyes and howl as they ran towards the river not far away.

Such a smell is simply unbearable for animals.

"Yuan Lang, I really didn't expect that the little beast you brought back would be so powerful, it's simply amazing."

Wu Yue, who had just been speaking, suddenly turned pale and looked behind Yuan Lang, her voice trembling slightly: "Watch out behind you!"
