Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 437 Wu Yue and Yuan Lang Under Protection

Yuan Lang, on the other hand, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying his chewing.

"Is this jerky or a rock? I can't eat any of it."

Wu Yue frowned, feeling indignant. The meat here was unfair to her. Wasn't it her who taught the tribesmen to make the dried meat?

Yuan Lang glanced at the dried meat in her hand, and the smile on his lips deepened slightly.

A large, bony hand took the jerky from her and popped it into his mouth. Then he reached out and handed her a lighter-colored jerky: "That kind is what beastmen eat when they hunt or stew it at home. You should eat this kind; the meat is more tender."

The light-colored jerky emitted an incredibly enticing aroma as soon as it was taken out, and you could tell from the smell that a lot of seasonings had been added during its production. It was different from the jerky that was so hard it could kill someone.

You can even pinch it with your hands.

"This kind of dried meat doesn't keep for very long, but it tastes great, give it a try."

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang: "Did you make this?"

The orc stiffened: "It wasn't me. In the past, servants took care of the food. There was no need for me to do it myself."

Despite saying that, Wu Yue still noticed the slightly expectant look in her eyes as she glanced at the dried meat in her hand from time to time.

The arrogant little face of the person made Wu Yue chuckle to herself. She tore off a small piece of jerky and threw it into her mouth. The salty and savory flavor instantly spread in her mouth. It was very chewy but not too dry and hard, and the texture was great.

Wu Yue couldn't help but squint her eyes with a hint of enjoyment: "Delicious."

Her little face was full of praise: "The person who makes this jerky is really skilled. I can make more next time so I can eat it as a snack."

As he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a blush suddenly appearing on the orc's face out of the corner of his eye, and even the tips of his ears turned a little red.

"Then I'll go back and have him make more for you."

Yuan Lang was overjoyed that the little female liked the jerky he made.

They were already secretly planning to go back and hunt a few more tender and juicy prey.

Wu Yue chewed on the jerky, secretly amused, but didn't expose the orc. She felt a sweet satisfaction, even more so than if she had eaten delicious jerky.

The mushroom-headed creatures below went out hunting, perhaps fearing being targeted by the ferocious beasts in the forest. When they returned carrying their prey, they had already prepared it and divided it into pieces of different sizes.

As the only female in the team, the petite witch naturally attracted Wu Yue's attention immediately: "That petite female must be the witch in this team."

She was just a little curious: was this female's body originally this small?

As night fell, the people became even more cautious, perhaps realizing that the deep forest was more dangerous at night and that ferocious beasts were more active.

However, protected by the barrier, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang lay leisurely in the treehouse, watching the wary mushroom-headed orc warriors below with a sense of contentment.

"Tongzi, tomorrow Yuanlang, Tayun, and I will go hunting. You continue to keep an eye on them, be careful not to be discovered, and record any unusual situations. Report back tonight."

Wu Yue took out a rock from the system space and poked the system, which was fast asleep with its round belly turned up.

The blue cat smelled its favorite rock and ore scent, and instantly perked up. With a kick, it flipped off the animal skin mat, grabbed the rock with its two little paws, and nodded frantically.

"Don't worry, leave this kind of stalking to me. I'll record every single fart that burly orc lets out."

Wu Yue was exasperated and tapped the guy on the head: "You better write down what you need to remember. I don't want to know how many farts someone let out."

That being said, Tongzi's stalking career did not last very long.
The ferocious forest seemed to be very unfriendly to these outsiders. After realizing that they were going deeper and deeper into the forest, the mushroom-headed creatures stopped going.

They gathered in a cave that had been discovered with great difficulty, their faces solemn.

"We really shouldn't laugh at those idiots from the Kuma tribe. We didn't expect we'd get lost too."

The petite witch lay on the animal skin mat looking utterly pathetic, completely disoriented.

They had planned to stay in the area inhabited by intermediate-level ferocious beasts to hunt, but unexpectedly, even though they carefully recorded their routes every day, they still unknowingly headed deeper into the forest.

Therefore, after discovering this, their hunting activities in the past few days have not ventured beyond the cave.

They return here after each hunting trip.

The burly orc reached out and picked up the petite witch, placing her on his lap. He took a piece of tender meat, tore it into small, easy-to-eat strips, and handed them to her: "We'll be active here recently, and then I'll lead my people to find the place where we used to live."

"Is this okay?"

The petite witch was a little worried. The places they used to live were not caves, but simply rested in remote mountain valleys before continuing their hunt the next day.

Even the prey was processed far from their dwelling, for fear of attracting ferocious beasts. After so many days, the aura must have become very faint.

The burly orc's eyes darkened slightly: "We have to try. If we continue to go in, there will only be one outcome."

The people in the cave were heavy-hearted; they all knew what awaited them if they continued deeper inside.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, who had just returned from the hunt, found Tongzi, who was monitoring the Mushroom Head Tribe. The little guy was sitting leisurely on a tree trunk, with one leg crossed over his shoulder, looking quite arrogant.

Every now and then, he would bring the rock he was holding to his lips and take a bite, looking incredibly relaxed.

Sensing its host dog approaching, it quickly stood up from the tree trunk.

"These mushroom-headed people got lost just like the Kuma tribe."

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang dismounted from Ta Yun's back, immediately secured the tent to a large tree, set up the barrier, and then the group went inside.

Yuan Lang glanced at the cave where the mushroom-headed tribesmen were hiding: "After entering the area where intermediate-level ferocious beasts are active, apart from the four tribes whose members often operate in the ferocious beast forest, other tribes will unconsciously head deeper into the area."

The only way to survive is to stop; there is no other way.

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang were well aware of how dangerous the deep forest was. Not to mention the poisonous plants and insects there, even a single high-level ferocious beast was beyond their ability to handle.

Wu Yue took stock of the harvest in the space: "The space is almost full. We'll set off back in the next few days. I've left some space so we can pick some of those delicious fruits when we get back."

If they still can't find their way, we'll take them out then.

Looking at the space she had cleared in her own room to store fruit, Wu Yue gave the mushroom-headed creatures in the cave a very friendly look.

Yuan Lang knew that was the look one gives to a strong laborer.
"Captain, this is the only place we can find. The scent from further ahead has long since dissipated."

The burly orc stood in the deep forest, his mood unusually heavy.

They have now retreated to the central part of the mid-level ferocious beast's habitat, but the scent they left behind was only enough for them to find their way here; it had disappeared before that.

After bringing the petite witch over, they found a large tree where they had rested before and settled down there.

Living in a tree is always much safer than living directly on the ground.

"I heard from my people that this is the only place we can find?"

The petite witch was somewhat anxious. Although they had retreated considerably, they were still in the area inhabited by intermediate-level ferocious beasts.

The orc warriors in the tree gradually grew anxious. At first, some of them stubbornly tried to find their way back, but after discovering that the path continued deeper into the tree, they gave up.

“There’s always a way.” The burly orc picked up the petite shaman and placed her on the animal skin mat in front of him. “I’m going out hunting.”

The petite witch nodded somewhat dejectedly, watching the burly orc's departing figure, feeling dejected.

If they cannot return to the tribe before winter, their group will be in danger.

It's already getting late.

"Meatball, there are other people in the deep forest."

Just as the petite witch was feeling dejected, the burly orc Aman, who had just gone hunting, excitedly jumped up from under the tree.

Upon hearing his words, the petite witch couldn't help but get excited: "How could that be? Aren't the tribes in the polar forest preparing for winter at this time?"

How did I end up here?

The burly orc, recalling the familiar figure he had just seen during the hunt, nodded firmly: "I was absolutely not mistaken; there was only one male orc warrior and one female human."

We've seen that orc warrior before; he's the captain of the Snow Tiger tribe hunting team we encountered last time.

The petite witch exclaimed and covered her mouth in surprise: "These two are too bold! They came in with just the two of them. Aren't they afraid of being torn to pieces by the ferocious beasts?"

The little figure jumped up with a thud: "Should we go and save them?"

The burly orc looked at her with a troubled expression: "You should stay here. I just saw that they have it much easier than us. Don't forget, these tribes in the Arctic Forest know the deep forest very well."

After saying that, his eyes lit up and he looked at the petite witch.

But then they saw that the other person was also looking over.

He coughed twice and said, "Yes, those two are in real danger. Let's go and protect them."

After saying that, he reached out and pulled the petite witch into his arms, then jumped straight down from the tree.

At this moment, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, whom the burly beastman had described as dangerous, were picking green fruits with great boredom.

Looking at the several red scratches on her arm, Wu Yue grinned and said, "These fruits are delicious, but why are there so many thorns on the branches?"

Not only do they have thorns, but they also hurt terribly when you get scratched.

Do you think those mushroom-headed guys might come looking for us?

While Yuan Lang was putting out the fruit, Wu Yue leaned over and asked with a laugh.

The orc glanced with deep eyes in the direction the burly orcs had left: "Yes, if they want to get out, they will always find a way to come to us."

What Yuan Lang and Wu Yue didn't expect was that these mushroom-headed guys were so shameless.

Looking at the petite female standing in front of them, her face full of worry, repeatedly saying she wanted to protect them, Wu Yue was speechless.

"I think we are still very safe."

Wu Yue indirectly rejected the Mushroom Head Tribe's protection.

The petite witch looked at the beautiful little female in front of her with some anger: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

Although you are a tribe from the polar forest and know this place well, it's too dangerous for you—a silver-rank orc warrior and a low-level shaman.

Silver-rank orc warrior Yuan Lang: "."

Low-level witch Wu Yue: "."

I didn't expect them to be this weak now? I feel inexplicably heartbroken.

“We met in the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory not long ago. To see you again in such a dangerous place must be the Beast God’s guidance, sending us to protect you.”

The petite witch chattered on and on, speaking as if it were the truth.

She glanced at the layer of small green fruits at the bottom of the baskets on their backs, swallowed hard, and looked at Wu Yue with big, watery eyes: "Are these fruits delicious?"

She's petite, and when she looks at people with that drooling expression, it's incredibly cute.

Wu Yue reached out and took out a green fruit, handing it to her: "Try it, it's sweet and sour and very delicious. My Tongzi can eat a whole basketful every day."

As she spoke, she dragged Tongzi's leg over, hugged the chubby boy in her arms, and stroked him.

Upon hearing this, the petite witch handed one of the fruits in her hand to the burly orc behind her.

Seeing the orc open his mouth and take a bite, he felt relieved and rubbed it on his own animal skin before bringing it to his lips.

The next second, a look of enjoyment appeared on her chubby little face.

"Mmm, delicious~"

Upon hearing this, the burly orc looked at Yuan Lang beside him and asked, "Can we pick some?"

The petite witch dislikes eating meat, but she has a particular fondness for all kinds of fruits. However, the fruits in the Beast Forest are all monopolized by various ferocious beasts, making it extremely dangerous.

Having finally found an unmarked spot with delicious food, the burly orc naturally wanted to stock up on some for the petite witch.

Wu Yue narrowed her watery eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened. She had been waiting for them to say that.

"Do you have many people?"

She looked at the petite witch.

The petite witch glanced at her and Yuan Lang, then raised her chin slightly: "Anyway, I have more than you two."

Wu Yue scratched her head sheepishly and lifted the blue chubby boy in her arms again: "Can you guys help me pick fruit later? My Tongzi wants to eat a lot."

We plan to stay here again tomorrow and pick all the fruit from the trees before leaving.

After saying that, he put the fruit in his arms into the basket on his back and made him perform a big-eater fruit-swallowing act on the spot.

The chubby little beast used both paws to work, and in just a few breaths, the fruit in the basket was gone.

The petite witch glanced at the basket, then at the blue fat man's little belly: "He really eats a lot."

System: "."

Hehe, I'm suffering inside, but I won't say anything. I can only silently bear the title of this good-for-nothing.

In fact, all those fruits entered Wu Yue's system space through Tongzi's mouth.

“No problem, I only need a leather bag full of fruit, the tribesmen can pick the rest for you.”

First, establish a good relationship, then have these two members of the Snow Tiger tribe take them out.
The petite witch narrowed her watery eyes; she was quite the clever little devil.
