Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 380 Yuan Lang's Secret

The clansmen who were preparing to clean up the scene and go back to rest all looked at Yuan Lang when they heard Wu Yue's exclamation, which was even a little hoarse.

But the next moment, their eyes also filled with terror.

On Yuan Lang's arm, which had transformed into sharp claws and was covered in green slime, a centipede about the length of a forearm was crawling on it. Its sharp, fine legs gripped Yuan Lang's arm tightly, making it look like he was wearing an arm guard from a distance.

The mandibles with sharp hooks kept probing Yuan Lang's neck, as if searching for a convenient place to bite, making the surrounding tribesmen shudder.

Millipedes themselves contain potent toxins, let alone such an enormous species, their toxicity is self-evident.

Moreover, since the witch of the rock salt tribe was a Gu witch, the Gu worms she cultivated would naturally not be non-toxic.

Yuan Lang naturally sensed the strangeness behind him; the pain of his flesh being pierced was so obvious, how could he not have noticed?

Moreover, the centipede's venom was extremely potent; his entire arm went numb and lost all feeling after just being pierced by its ordinary legs.

The orc's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He suddenly raised his other arm, and before the surrounding tribesmen could even see his movement, the worm that had been peeking out had been grabbed by the head and lifted up.

Once the Gu worm was subdued, it began to struggle violently, its body constantly coiling up, using its other claws to stab at Yuan Lang, and constantly emitting sharp hissing sounds.

However, the orc's expression was cold, and his grip on the worm's head did not loosen for a moment.

Wu Yue was about to take the medicine powder when she saw the black bracelet on the orc's wrist move as if it were alive.

"hiss~"

The giant python glanced at Yuan Lang with disdain, hissed, and swam to Yuan Lang's head. Its small body stood upright, and its head, which was only as thick as a beastman's finger, was raised.

Wu Yue then realized that it wasn't a bracelet at all, but clearly a snake.

Before she could even express her surprise, the little snake's mouth began to slowly open.
Wu Yue felt she needed to wash her eyes later. Was that snake, with a body only as thick as a finger but a mouth that could swallow a worm as thick as an orc's arm?

After eating and drinking its fill, the giant python let out a satisfied burp and slowly swam back to Yuan Lang's wrist to digest.

Seeing that the arm-length Gu worm had been eliminated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yue quickly stepped forward: "Yuan Lang, are you alright?"

吧.
Before he could finish uttering the word "ba," the orc warrior, who had been so calm and valiant just moments before, suddenly closed his eyes and fell backward.

Wu Yue's expression changed drastically: "Quickly, someone come! Yuan Lang has been poisoned!"

Teng Qian and Teng Kun rushed forward first, carrying their eldest brother on their shoulders and heading towards Wu Yue's house.

The Snow Tiger Witch, who was about to step forward to treat the patient, froze and looked at the Snow Tiger Clan Chief beside him: "Should I go or not?"

Chief Xuehu suppressed a laugh and chuckled twice, saying, "Let's go take a look. Yue's level is too low. If she can't be treated, we'll need your help."

After all, Yuan Lang is one of the most promising orc warriors in our tribe.

Snow Tiger Witch grunted and followed the others with small, shuffling steps toward Wu Yue's courtyard.

At this moment, Teng Qian and Teng Kun had already placed Yuan Lang on Wu Yue's kang (heated brick bed). The mat on the kang was stained with the dark green slime of the Gu worms and emitted a pungent, fishy smell.

However, the two beasts, Tengqian and Tengkun, seemed oblivious to the smell, guarding Yuan Lang's side with their muscles taut.

The first thing Wu Yue did upon returning to the house was to immediately envelop the orc's body with her magical power. The life-giving magical power spread around the orc, healing the small wounds on his body.

Knowing that her internal magical power was about to run out, Wu Yue stopped, her face slightly pale.

The Snow Tiger Shaman, who arrived later, examined the orc warrior on the kang (heated brick bed) and then gave Wu Yue a speechless look: "Yuan Lang wasn't poisoned at all, and he didn't have any serious wounds. You actually used up all your shamanic power to save him?"

Wu Yue then came to her senses, glanced somewhat awkwardly at the serious-looking Snow Tiger Witch, and carefully examined Yuan Lang.

A moment later, after confirming that the orc was not poisoned and had no major wounds, she realized that she had just saved nothing.
Suddenly, she remembered a day after the rainy season when Yuan Lang talked to her about insects with a stiff expression.

They stared in disbelief at the tall orc lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).
So this thing is actually afraid of bugs?
What should I do? I suddenly feel like laughing!

The first orc warrior in the Snow Tiger tribe to faint from fright by insects. Pfft!
Forgive her for laughing, it wasn't very kind of her.

"Perhaps the venom of that giant Gu worm only makes people fall asleep. After all, if these Gu worms were really sent by that rock salt tribe witch, she likes Yuan Lang so much, she would definitely not harm him."

Everyone could only nod and accept the outcome.

After all, aside from the fact that the venom of the Gu worms could put such a powerful silver-rank orc to sleep, no one could have imagined why an orc warrior with no major wounds on his body would suddenly faint.

To save face for the powerful orc warrior, Wu Yue, though wanting to burst out laughing, held back and offered an explanation.

After everyone had left, leaving only her and Teng Qian and Teng Kun in the room, Wu Yue finally burst out with laughter that she had been holding back for so long.

His boss was still fast asleep, but the woman he liked was laughing and rolling around on the ground beside him.
Teng Qian and Teng Kun glanced at their boss with complicated expressions, then looked at Wu Yue, who was laughing so hard she was crying.

They shook their heads in tacit agreement, realizing they had truly misplaced their trust.

"Moon, when will we be able to cure this poison that's putting the boss to sleep?"

Teng Qian asked worriedly.

Despite always getting beaten by Yuan Lang, his loyalty to his general is beyond question.

Wu Yue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't worry, your boss is fine. It can only be said that the witch really likes Yuan Lang too much. The poison of that Gu worm is not very strong, and he should wake up by morning."

Upon hearing this, the two beasts were relieved.

"You all go back quickly. I can take care of Yuan Lang here. Go and patrol the area to make sure no Gu worms escape into the tribe."

The two glanced at Yuan Lang, who was still unconscious, before leaving, turning back every few steps.

Wu Yue sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at the orc sleeping soundly on it. If it weren't for the change in his expression when he mentioned insects last time, she would never have been able to associate such a cold and imposing orc with someone who was afraid of insects.

Wu Yue's house was quiet, but the orcs and orc warriors in the Snow Tiger tribe were very busy.

Led by Chief Xuehu, the group began to patrol every inch of the tribe's territory, preventing any Gu worms from sneaking into the tribe.

Meanwhile, in a cave within the Snow Tiger tribe's territory, the rock salt tribe's orc warriors, who were guarding their priestess, witnessed her face, which had been filled with ecstatic joy, turn deathly pale in an instant, and she even vomited blood. "Sorceress, are you alright!"

The orc warriors surged forward in unison.

However, the handsome orc warrior closest to the Rock Salt Tribe witch swiftly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

Looking at the pale-faced priestess with bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

After a moment of stunned silence, he stood up while holding the rock salt tribe's witch: "The witch instructed us that if anything unexpected happened, we should immediately leave the Snow Tiger tribe's territory and hurry back to the Crimson Flame Plains."

The crowd glanced at the female in his arms. Although they were hesitant, they nodded and escorted the orc away, remembering the priestess's methods.

Tongzi shook the little leaf on its paws and rubbed its paws a little guilty.

The host instructed me to only sprinkle the poison on the orc who had harmed the cubs, but...
It would be such a waste to use such a large bag of poison on just one orc. He sprinkled a few more on him, and I'm sure his host will praise him when he finds out.

The system couldn't help but chuckle as it imagined its host stroking its head and praising it.

At this moment, the Rock Salt Tribe had no idea what they would face on the day they returned to the Crimson Flame Plains.

Wu Yue said that Yuan Lang would wake up in the morning, but she did not expect that not long after Teng Qian and Teng Kun left, the orc's long eyelashes trembled and he woke up.

He glanced at his surroundings, and his eyes instantly cleared.

As he was rubbing his forehead, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his muscles tensed up instantly, with the veins on his large hand bulging.

So, despite his best efforts to hide it, his fear of insects still came to the attention of his tribe.
Thinking of this, the orc felt completely awful, as if he were now a useless beast.

"Don't worry, only I know that you're afraid of bugs."

A small female's cheerful voice rang out above him. Yuan Lang looked up sharply in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Yue sitting at the head of the bed, weaving something.

Seeing Yuan Lang looking over, she waved in a very cheerful mood: "Hello!"

Yuan Lang was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a palace out of his toes.

“I have already explained to the tribe that the venom of that giant Gu worm can make people fall asleep, which is why you fell asleep.”

Wu Yue looked at the orc lying on the kang with a mischievous grin: "Shouldn't you thank me?"

Yun Lang chuckled inwardly as he looked at the smile that appeared in her eyes and brows.
She's probably the one who laughs the most!

"Who am I doing all this for?"

The orc's voice was deep and husky, carrying a strong seductive quality. Especially when his warm breath sprayed on her neck, Wu Yue felt a shiver run through her body.

She quickly stood up and sat in the chair furthest from the orc: "Your integrity is what it is. I'm the one who kept your secret. You should treat me with gratitude."

Yuan Lang sat on the edge of the kang, wearing his animal-skin boots. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wu Yue, the corners of his lips curving into a half-smile: "Knowing too much isn't a good thing. Those who knew too many of my secrets before..."

He sneered, "The grass on your grave is taller than you."

Looking at the orc's serious expression, a classic scene suddenly popped into Wu Yue's mind.

Before dying, cannon fodder always hears this sentence: "Blame it on you for knowing too much. Only the dead can keep secrets."

The little face immediately turned terrified: "Don't kill me! I don't know much. Being afraid of bugs is nothing. I'm afraid of everything except cats and dogs!"

After saying that, she nodded very firmly, her watery eyes looking at the tall and slender orc by the kang, with an expression that said, "If you don't let me go, I'll cry for you."

Yuan Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead and, for the first time, looked at the little female on the chair with an expression of utter disbelief: "What's in that tiny brain of yours?"

After saying that, he reached out and ruffled her already messy hair into a bird's nest before turning around and walking out: "Stay in the house and don't run around."

Only after the orc's figure disappeared outside the courtyard did Wu Yue sit down, covering her face, her toes constantly curling up.

Why is it that the orc who is afraid of insects ends up being the one who is embarrassed?

Is it just because she's afraid of dying?

Perhaps due to the binding effect of the medicinal powder, after searching around, the orcs and half-orc warriors found no more Gu worms and gradually returned to their houses to sleep.

What they didn't know was that all the smaller Gu worms were split off from the larger Gu worm, and once the larger Gu worm died, the smaller Gu worms naturally disappeared.

As Tongzi hummed and hawed, it ran towards the Snow Tiger Tribe, thinking about the wonderful thing that its host would give it a lot of rock ore when it returned. It couldn't help but let out a few excited howls.

However, the saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" is definitely not a joke.

Tongzi, who had just been excited, suddenly crashed headfirst into a hard stone wall.

The chubby bottom sat on the grass, cursing itself for bending over for the sake of rocks and rubbing its head in annoyance at its carelessness.

Its cute little head hurt from bumping it.

Just as she was about to stand up and continue on her way, she felt her hind legs being lifted up by a large hand. Then, in a dizzying moment, before she could react, she was sitting on a broad shoulder.

A familiar, deep orc voice sounded in my ear: "Give me directions."

"Awooo?" What are you doing? What directions are you pointing me in? The beast doesn't understand!
"If you keep pretending to be stupid, I'll make you eat grass from now on."

The orc's deep eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, the cold light within making Tongzi's hair stand on end, and he dared not doubt the truthfulness of the orc's words.

It immediately raised its little paw and pointed decisively at the fleeing rock salt tribe orc: "Awooo!"

Those scoundrels ran in that direction.

Having said that, he prepared to jump off the orc's shoulder.

The path has been shown, so it can finally walk now, right? The beast's little heart has been greatly hurt, and it needs its host to kiss, hug, and lift it up high, and it will require no less than ten pieces of rock ore to heal.

But when it hung upside down on the orc's shoulder, tears streaming down its face, all Tongzi wanted to do was whimper and bite its little handkerchief. Such a rude orc warrior was just too unlovable!
He decided to firmly prevent Yuan Lang from becoming his dog host's partner, letting the two single dogs exude their own fragrance.
