Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 440 The Dog Host is Doomed This Time

"I heard everyone has started collecting the same plant silk threads from last time to prepare for weaving cloth?"

Yuan Lang looked at the little female who was diligently weaving and said in a sour tone.

Wu Yue sniffed and looked at him with amusement: "Yes, the loom is in your hands now. After this winter, maybe everyone will be able to wear cloth clothes."

Seeing the orc's sour face, he said with amusement, "You don't seem very happy?"

Yuan Lang chuckled: "How could I be happy? I heard that the cloth you wove is for making clothes for the witch."

I felt so bad. That little female is so heartless. I made the loom myself and drew the plant silk myself. Shouldn't I give her this first piece of clothing?
Wu Yue stopped what she was doing, looked at the gloomy-faced orc warrior with amusement, and pulled his hand to place it on the cloth she had already woven: "Feel this cloth."

Yuan Lang reluctantly reached out and poked it twice, even harboring a secret thought: if he ruined it, he wouldn't have to make clothes for the witch.

But then he thought that this was something the little female had painstakingly woven, and the big hand that wanted to destroy it couldn't bring itself to do so.

"This is my first time weaving cloth, so this fabric is really not very good. You can feel it; it's a bit rough."

This experimental cloth will be used to make clothes for the witch. Next time, when I'm more familiar with it, the cloth I weave will definitely be better, and I'll make clothes for you then.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang carefully examined the fabric beneath his hands.

Sure enough, the fabric looked somewhat rough, with even tiny burrs in some places.

He used to wear simple clothes, and even the cheapest fabric was much better than the one his subordinate was wearing.

He felt much better at that moment: "Okay, then you must give me the next piece."

Wu Yue chuckled and agreed. This orc looked tall and handsome, but he was a little arrogant from time to time, which always made people want to laugh.

After agreeing on the fabric, Yuan Lang finally got down to business.

"Have you thought about what the tribal gate should look like?"

Wu Yue was slightly taken aback: "Wouldn't it be better to make it open from both sides?"

Aren't all doors like this?

Yuan Lang pondered for a moment before saying, "My idea is to make it a hanging door."

A hanging door?

Wu Yue pondered for a moment: "Do you still want to dig a moat?"

As for building the gate, they haven't found iron ore yet, so the gate is made from a type of ironwood found in the forest that is very hard, but it's still not hard enough compared to iron.

Therefore, the city gates were somewhat lacking in security.

Yuan Lang nodded: "Although ironwood can withstand some attacks from wild beasts, it is still not enough against stronger ferocious beasts and high-level orc warriors. Although we have thickened it a lot, it is still easy to be breached in the long run."

Therefore, adding a moat would naturally make it safer.

Moreover, he also planned to move some of the ferocious fish from the river into the moat to raise them.

Wu Yue naturally agreed with Yuan Lang's idea, especially since it involved the safety of the tribe.

"If we were to dig a moat, that would be a huge project, and I don't know if it can be completed before winter."

Yuan Lang looked at her with amusement: "Of course it's impossible to complete, so I thought we should dig out the section in front of the city gate first. The strength of the city wall is guaranteed, and our weakness is only in the city gate."

After discussing the general situation, the two went out to find the Snow Tiger Clan Chief and went to the Snow Tiger Shaman's house together.

After hearing Yuan Lang's words about the city gate and moat, the Snow Tiger Witch, the Snow Tiger Clan Chief, and several orc uncles discussed it at length.

"In that case, the people of those small and medium-sized tribes will have to stay."

An orc uncle frowned.

Yuan Lang nodded: "Of course, it would be best if they could stay, but if they want to leave, we can't stop them."

The orc uncle's lips twitched upon hearing this. The people of those small and medium-sized tribes weren't stupid. Although they had to work every day, they were naturally unwilling to leave because they had food and drink to take with them.

The remaining orc uncles naturally thought of this problem as well: "Yuan Lang is right. Although the iron tree is hard, we can cut it down if we waste some time. The high-level orcs and high-level ferocious beasts will naturally be able to break through our city gates."

"Since we've already built such high city walls, there's no need to hesitate about building a moat."

The remaining orc uncles nodded in unison. When it came to the safety of the tribe and its people, none of them would compromise on this matter.

"We just need to hurry up with the hunting afterwards, otherwise we won't have enough food for the smaller tribes."

The Snow Tiger tribe still has too few orc warriors. Although they now have powerful bows and arrows, and the pure-blooded males can go out hunting, the food they bring back is still limited due to their limited strength.

The tribe's main food source is still the orc warriors and half-orc warriors.

The high-ranking leaders of the tribe were discussing the construction of the city gate and moat, while the members of the smaller tribes were taking a break.

The females of the Snow Tiger tribe carried over vats of food, and the fragrant aroma instantly filled the city gate.

People from small and medium-sized tribes lined up, their mouths watering, holding their own bowls, waiting to be served their food.

The orc warriors from the Flying Eagle Tribe, the Mad Lion Tribe, and the Black Wolf Tribe, returning from their hunt, looked at the long line of humans at the entrance, inhaling the mouthwatering aroma, and swallowed hard.

"These humans eat better than us orc warriors; the food is so delicious."

An orc warrior from the Mad Lion tribe looked at the humans who had already received their food and were squatting in the corner snoring away, and then looked at the meat in his own hand. Suddenly, he felt that it didn't taste good at all.

"Would you like to eat food from the Snow Tiger Tribe?"

A Flying Eagle tribe orc warrior suddenly spoke up and asked a Lion Tribe orc warrior.

At this question, all the orc warriors returning from the hunt turned to look at him: "What do you mean? You can eat that kind of delicious food?"

The orcs' eyes were burning with desire.

The orc warrior from the Flying Eagle Tribe scratched his head: "Actually, the food for our orc warriors has always been eaten by the Snow Tiger Tribe."

Sensing the resentful looks from the crowd, the Flying Eagle Orc Warrior, with a strong will to survive, quickly said, "As long as you bring food to the Snow Tiger Tribe's food preparation area and make sure you say in advance that you want to eat there, they will cook for you, but you'll need to exchange food for it."

The females who prepare the food also need to be given some food as a processing fee.

"That's great!" The orc warriors' eyes lit up instantly. In the late autumn season, food was the last thing the orc warriors lacked.

The Flying Eagle tribe orc warrior, who had been secretly enjoying the food, carried the food and headed into the Snow Tiger tribe.

Meanwhile, the people of the small and medium-sized tribes held bowls bigger than their own faces, eating the fragrant food, but their hearts were filled with reluctance.

The construction of the city wall was about to be completed, which meant they would have to leave the well-fed Snow Tiger tribe and return to their own territory.

Without such delicious food that makes you want to swallow your tongue, you continue to live a miserable life where even wild vegetable dumplings are a rare treat. "Chieftain, the food is so delicious, why do you still look so pale?"

A robust male squatted down next to his clan leader, holding a bowl of food. He slurped the food in his bowl while looking at his clan leader with a puzzled expression.

The tall, strong male glanced at the brainless tribesman beside him, feeling bitter inside: "What do you know? All you know is how to eat."

He looked up and down at the tribesmen around him and said, "Eat as much as you can while you still can. Once the city wall is built, we'll be going back to our own tribe. All that fat you've gained will fall off then."

Thinking back to how skinny he used to be, and then looking at how strong he is now.

Indeed, the Snow Tiger tribe is a great source of life.

Upon hearing his clan leader say this, the male paused in his slurping of food, and suddenly felt worried.

That's right. Once we get back to our own tribe, we'll probably be dreaming of eating wild vegetable dumplings.

But the next second, he ate even more heartily: "Chieftain, eat quickly, eat quickly, go get another bowl after you finish, you won't be able to eat anymore if you leave."

The tall, strong male was taken aback, but the next second he picked up the bowl and started eating faster.

That's right, if we don't eat now, when will we?

Clearly, they are not the only ones who share this view.

Soon, the females of the Snow Tiger tribe discovered that they had not made enough food for the day.

They then quickly made more food to feed the people of these small and medium-sized tribes.

With all preparations complete, the construction of the city gates could only be left to the orc warriors.

Although the ironwood city gate was not as sturdy and heavy as a real iron gate, it was still not something an ordinary person could move.

Fortunately, the hanging door was relatively easy to install. With the help of the other three orc warriors from the tribes, it was installed in less than an afternoon.

However, the crucial lever for opening and closing the gate proved to be a challenge for Wu Yue and Yuan Lang.

"I can ask the Beast God for it, but it's hard to say if my people ask."

After all, even the simplest jack in the system is something that could not exist in this world.

Yuan Lang smiled and looked at her: "Isn't this a ready-made excuse?"

Wu Yue looked at him questioningly: "A ready-made excuse?"

But then she saw the orc tug at his coat and raise an eyebrow at her.

Wu Yue's heart skipped a beat: "You mean to use the great shaman of the Huaxia tribe as an excuse?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "This is the only excuse we can use now. We can't have done all the preparations but then fail to properly secure the sluice gate."

Wu Yue naturally knew the importance of the heavy gate, so she nodded: "That's possible, but we need to plan this carefully."

When Wu Yue returned home in the evening, after washing up, she lay on the soft kang (a heated brick bed) and was unusually lost in thought.

"Dog host, aren't you going to cultivate today?"

Tongzi was happily munching on a candied hawthorn, and the fur on both sides of his mouth was covered with sugar frosting, making him look quite comical.

Urged on by her master, Wu Yue sighed and sat up: "I was thinking about that hanging gate. Although it can be lifted with vines, it's still too dangerous."

"Then just exchange for the good materials in the system space. Even the cheapest sluice gate has a quality guarantee."

For transactions in the system's online store that offer commissions, the system has always been very proactive in promoting them.

Feeling that her tightly secured purse was starting to loosen again, Wu Yue suddenly sat up, got into a meditative posture, and prepared to enter meditation.

"Don't even think about taking my stuff. I'm not going to take the risk unless I have a proper way to get the stuff out of the system space."

The system owner, who had just made a huge profit, was furious, lamenting how stingy his dog host was becoming.

By clearing her mind of all worries, Wu Yue entered a meditative state, feeling the free-floating energy in the surrounding air enter her body. For some reason, she felt a sense of fullness in her body today.

The sound of flowing energy echoed in her body, and Wu Yue suddenly opened her eyes.

"System, it seems I'm about to level up again."

Tongzi had already woken up from its slumber and was squatting down next to its dog host, its round eyes staring intently at its host, whose face was flushed red. Xiao Mao's face was serious.

"Host, calm down."

The host was somewhat restless during cultivation today, perhaps because he was thinking about other things. He was not focused on refining his magical power, which resulted in the absorption of external magical power being somewhat chaotic.

Wu Yue knew the root of her problem and quickly closed her eyes to sort out the chaotic witch energy in her body.

The chaotic flow of magical energy surged through her body, making her feel as if something inside her was trying to burst out.

But thinking about the consequences of relaxing, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

"Tongzi, something seems wrong. I feel like I'm about to explode."

The dog's host's face turned increasingly red. At this moment, even the system sensed that something was amiss.

"Damn it, you dog host, you've really messed up this time."

With a whoosh, Tongzi jumped up from the roof and wagged its little tail as it walked around.

After saying those words, Wu Yue remained silent, as the surging energy within her body was causing her immense pain.

Unbeknownst to her, tiny cuts were already visible on her skin, and blood was beginning to seep out from the gaps.

Although the smell of blood wasn't very strong, Tongzi still caught it. Her face immediately hardened, and she stopped hesitating.

He waved his paw to open the system's generated interface, skillfully flipped through a few pages, and gritted his teeth to exchange for a green pill.

It jumped up, pinched the dog host's mouth, and fed it in: "Dog host, if you don't want to die, eat this pill quickly."

The pill, with its rich herbal aroma, entered Wu Yue's mouth and, without her even needing to chew, transformed into a cool medicinal liquid that entered her body.

Like a cool torrent, wherever the medicinal liquid passed, the surging energy within the body seemed to have met its nemesis and instantly became docile.

Wu Yue finally woke up from her deep sleep in the early hours of the morning.

Tongzi suddenly jumped up and clung to her, tears welling in his eyes: "You dog host, you're finally awake. I'm so sorry you were going to die."
