Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 436 Energy Jerky
Chief Snow Tiger stroked his non-existent beard and nodded: "This method is the best. All we need to do is provide a few females skilled in curing salted meat."

As Wu Yue and Chief Xuehu had predicted, within a week of the arrival of the Mad Lion tribe, orc warriors from the other two tribes also brought their tribes' local specialties.

The lion tribe was initially bewildered when they saw the lions hunting with great enthusiasm. After finding out the purpose of the hunt, they roared and joined in with red eyes.

Chief Snow Tiger selected five females from each of their tribes to cure salted meat.

In order to bring back enough salted meat to their tribes, the orc warriors from the three tribes hunted with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Wu Yue, along with Yuan Lang, once again arrived at the Beast Forest.

Although ferocious beasts are dangerous, their crystal cores can help orcs level up, and even their flesh and blood contain more energy than ordinary forest beasts.

During this time, Ta Yun followed Blue Fatty around, eating and sleeping, living a happy, pig-like life.

Putting aside whether she has grown taller or not, there is no doubt that she has become noticeably rounder.

Wu Yue used to occasionally hug and rub it, but now... hugging it is out of the question.

"Inside or outside?"

Yuan Lang put on the training uniform that Wu Yue had given him last time, and he looked tall and handsome.

While everyone else was carrying guns, Yuan Lang was carrying a bow and arrow. Although it looked a bit out of place, he was still handsome.

"Compared to energy, the flesh and blood of the ferocious beasts inside should have higher energy."

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang and said.

This is beyond doubt. Yuan Lang nodded: "For ordinary tribesmen, these ferocious beasts on the outskirts will suffice, but for orc warriors, we can use any beast except for high-level ones."

"Then let's go inside."

Ordinary people have wild animal meat to eat, but it's different for orc warriors.

If a ferocious beast tide really occurs in winter, food that can quickly replenish energy will be very important.

The pills that replenish stamina and energy in the system shop are very expensive. The beast tide is not something that can be resolved in a day or two, so naturally we can't keep using pills to sustain ourselves.

Perhaps because winter is approaching, many of the ferocious beasts in the deep forest look much fatter than before.

"These are all ferocious beasts that still live in the deep forest after winter. Some of them will begin to migrate to warmer places to spend the winter in a few days."

Yuan Lang casually shot and killed a saber-toothed bear and said.

This reminded Wu Yue of the Fireball Beast that they had previously driven into the deep forest.

"Last time I heard the chief say that the tribe had a lot of fireball beast dung stored up, and it was distributed to the tribe before winter came."

Even Wu Yue was amazed by the Fireball Beast's excrement; it was practically a substitute for coal.

Not only is it flammable and durable, but it also does not produce toxic gases. Since the Fireball Beast eats grass, it even has a very pleasant grassy smell when it burns.

The tribe members all liked it very much.

When we drive away the fireball beasts again next year, let's see if we can bring a few more back. The droppings from three fireball beasts are still a bit too little to provide for the entire tribe.

The two talked as they walked deeper into the forest.

What surprised Wu Yue was that the ape they encountered this time was surprisingly well-behaved. When it saw Yuan Lang, it didn't howl and rush at him, but just squatted there at a distance, watching the two of them.

The two, their bodies still tense, did not suffer any attacks from these irritable creatures until they left Shun Yuan's territory.

"Have these obedient monkeys truly reformed?"

Wu Yue looked at the Shun Yuan territory gradually receding into the distance with a puzzled expression.

Yuan Lang gave her an annoyed look: "So you want us to be chased by Shun Yuan?"

Wu Yue chuckled dryly twice: "Of course that's impossible, I was just a little curious."

Yuan Lang thought of the several Shun Apes he had seen before, and there seemed to be some baby Shun Apes squatting on the tree trunks around them: "They must have just given birth to their cubs not long ago, so they won't provoke us."

Even the most ferocious beasts are vulnerable when they are young.

"Stop ahead."

Yuan Langjun's straight nose twitched a few times, and his dark eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Wu Yue patted the Cloud-Treading Beast beneath her, which was moving forward at full speed.

As his physique grew stronger, Ta Yun gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the place Yuan Lang had indicated.

At this moment, Wu Yue finally noticed something unusual: "There are dried bloodstains here."

The surrounding tree trunks lay scattered haphazardly, with sharp claw marks and dried bloodstains on the thick trunks.

"Are they those mushroom-headed guys you encountered last time?"

Wu Yue looked at the orc warrior beside her.

Yuan Lang frowned: "It's very likely them. After all, besides the Kuma tribe, the only other group that came recently was those mushroom-headed people. Moreover, they came from the same place as the Kuma tribe. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they followed the Kuma tribe."

"If that's the case, they must know the purpose of the Kuma tribe, so it makes sense that they met here."

Wu Yue glanced at the blood and said with a smile, "They just don't look too good."

Yuan Lang scoffed: "It's just my own choice."

The dangers of the deep forest are such that even the orc warriors of the four major tribes of the polar forest, who come in every year to hunt ferocious beasts, are not guaranteed to leave unscathed.

The two continued their journey into the area inhabited by intermediate-level ferocious beasts and began their hunt. Wu Yue's space had expanded considerably with each upgrade.

'Boom! '

A heavy thud was heard as Wu Yue looked down from the tree and saw that the sturdy bull, which had just been locked in a fierce battle with Yuan Lang, was now lying on the ground.

"Step on the clouds, go down."

Wu Yue waved her hand, storing the prey on the ground into her system space: "Let's go!"

Ta Yun quickly descended, and Yuan Lang pushed off the ground with both legs, rising up and landing behind Wu Yue.

They had only flown a short distance when the roars of ferocious beasts echoed behind them.

"These ferocious beasts have become increasingly sensitive to smell; it took them less than half the time before they were discovered this time."

Yuan Lang took out an animal hide, wet it, and wiped the bloodstains off his hands: "It's always better to be careful."

After saying that, he reached into his bag and took out a green fruit, handing it to Wu Yue: "I just saw that ferocious beast eating it, and I tried it. You should like it."

The young female doesn't like overly sweet fruits; she prefers those with a slightly sour taste.

Wu Yue reached out and took it, washed it, and then brought it to her lips and took a bite. Instantly, a burst of sweet and sour juice exploded in her mouth.

She squinted her eyes in enjoyment: "It's delicious."

Since it was already late autumn, the fruits in the forest were all ripe, and due to ample sunlight, most of them were very sweet, which Wu Yue didn't particularly like.

Wu Yue ate three green fruits in a row before finally stopping, still wanting more. Seeing that she liked them, Yuan Lang smiled slightly: "If you like them, pick some more when you go back to the tribe. I just saw a grove of these fruits there."

Wu Yue looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Mm."

"Ow!"

"Roar!"

"Get out of the way!"

As the two were talking, a roar of orcs and howl of ferocious beasts suddenly came from the deep forest ahead.

Yuan Lang stretched out his long arm and shielded Wu Yue in his arms, then whispered in her ear, "Fly up."

With wings spread behind it, Ta Yun flapped its wings twice and flew up to a high place.

Without the obstruction of the tree canopy, the scene of the battle instantly came into view for the two.

Looking at the dense swarm of unicorn wolves, Wu Yue gasped: "Who did these guys have to mess with to get targeted by unicorn wolves?"

At this moment, even Yuan Lang couldn't help but feel worried for the orc warriors below.

The unicorn wolf is a ferocious beast with innate abilities. It can spew out blazing flames from the single horn on its forehead, which are highly damaging and difficult to extinguish.

Just then, the horn on the forehead of a unicorn wolf below suddenly turned red, and a burst of fire shot out from the horn, heading straight for an orc warrior in front of it.

"Get out of the way."

A soft voice suddenly rang out, followed by a burst of blue light that shot out from a large tree at the edge of the battlefield. It collided with the firelight, producing a loud bang of energy impact before both dissipating into the air.

"Don't get entangled with these ferocious beasts. We need to leave quickly. The fire spewed from their horns is extremely powerful."

After clashing with the flames of the unicorn wolf, her soft voice took on a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding orc warriors launched another fierce attack.

The burly figure at the front let out a low growl, knocking away several unicorn wolves in front of him. Then, he turned and leaped into the air, picking up a chubby little girl from a large tree at the edge and running into the depths of the forest.

Seeing this, the orc warriors behind him repelled the unicorn wolves beside them and followed closely behind.

The once bustling open space fell silent instantly, leaving only the corpses of unicorn wolves scattered on the ground.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and she patted Ta Yun's back: "Ta Yun".

Knowing its master very well, the little creature Ta Yun let out a howl, flapped its wings, and swept over the corpse of the unicorn wolf on the ground before chasing after the direction in which the orc warriors had left.

The unicorn wolf corpses that had just littered the ground had all disappeared, having been stored away in Wu Yue's spatial storage.

"How does the unicorn wolf meat taste?"

Wu Yue relaxed and leaned against the orc's broad chest, and asked with a smile.

Yuan Lang chuckled, his muscular forearms tightening slightly: "The taste is not bad, but it's a bit coarse. Compared to other things, it's more suitable for the tastes of orcs."

Moreover, these ferocious beasts with innate abilities provide a more complete energy boost when consumed, making them excellent food.

Wu Yue nodded happily upon hearing this: "Thanks to these unfamiliar orc warriors, otherwise, if it were just the two of us, I don't know how long we would have had to hunt."

"If it's just the two of us, you can forget about the unicorn wolves. They are pack animals; if you provoke one, a whole pack will come."

Yuan Lang's deep voice rang in my ears as he slowly recounted the ferocious beasts I might encounter in the deep forest.

"Aman, are you alright?"

At this moment, the little witch and her group were hiding in a tree hollow. The hollow was quite spacious, and the little witch had set up a magical barrier at the entrance to avoid the unicorn wolves.

However, there were simply too many unicorn wolves. Many of their orc warriors were injured, and even the burly orc Aman had his arm burned by the flames spewed by the unicorn wolf.

The area scorched by the flames was pitch black, revealing dark red flesh and blood, which looked horrifying.

The petite witch took a mushroom off her head, broke off half of it, and held it to Ah Man's lips: "Eat some mushrooms."

He casually tossed the rest to an orc warrior beside him: "Distribute this among the wounded of our people."

Aman took the mushroom, popped it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

The wound that felt like flesh and blood were being burned felt much better instantly.

Although it's not completely cured, it doesn't hurt as much anymore.

The burly orc opened his eyes, and his hand, which was even larger than the delicate witch's face, gently touched her head: "I'm fine. The pain has subsided after eating the mushrooms. I just need to wait for the pain to subside."

"I wish I were a healer."

The petite witch rubbed the hem of her clothes, her little mouth pursed, feeling extremely annoyed.

She is a sorceress, and although her magical powers can be used for healing, she is still far from being a true healing sorceress.

The petite witch stood up, lightly waved her wand, and muttered something under her breath.

Then a burst of magical light rose from the staff, transforming into specks of magical light that scattered onto the bodies of the surrounding tribesmen.

The orcs felt their fatigue vanish and were instantly refreshed.

The injured areas are no longer as painful as before.

“We’ll rest here for a few days and then continue hunting, but it looks like we can’t go any further in.”

The petite witch looked deeper into the forest, her small face full of solemnity.

She could feel the intense pressure emanating from within, indicating that the being at the very back did not welcome their arrival.

The burly orc nodded, and he took off the animal skin that he had been wearing around his waist and spread it on the ground in the tree hole.

Only then did everyone realize that their captain had gone out wearing two layers of animal skin skirts.

"Let's lie down and rest for a while. Those unicorn wolves won't be able to find us for a while. Let's wait until they leave before we set off again."

He gently stroked the head of the petite witch with his fan-like hand. The petite witch chuckled and lay down following his touch.

She had been traveling around a lot during this period, and her body was really starting to give out.

He had only been lying down for a short while when his breathing became long and deep, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"After the unicorn wolf leaves, the four of you will go hunting. Be sure to be careful and come back early."

The orc warriors nodded, then began to quietly discuss who would be responsible for the upcoming hunt.

Wu Yue simply set up a simple tent on a thick, tall tree: "Anyway, these people can't find us, so it couldn't be more convenient to monitor them from here."

The basket on Yuan Lang's back was filled with a lot of food, but mostly it contained the dried meat they had prepared earlier.

Wu Yue took out a piece of jerky and put it in her mouth. Just as she was about to take a few delicious bites, she found that no matter how hard she tried, it was no use except to add some saliva to the jerky. There wasn't even a small bite left in the jerky.
