Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 469 We Need to Wait

Although their shaman had told them to maintain good relations with the Snow Tiger tribe, but...
Thinking about what his shaman had done to the various tribes in the polar forest, he felt that they wouldn't let it go so easily, especially since the Flying Eagle tribe had almost been wiped out by his shaman.

Thinking of this, his body trembled. Among those orcs, there seemed to be an eagle orc. No wonder that guy's eyes were full of killing intent when he looked at him.

He shook his head: "Forget it. Although the Polar Forest and the Crimson Flame Plain are adjacent, the two regions don't get along very well. It's better to avoid contact."

The poisonous fire subsided, but the orc warriors beside him were still trembling with fear, their legs shaking: "Captain, what do we do now?"

In his opinion, it would be better to go back to the tribe as soon as possible. This terrifying little female has even found her way into the tribe; if they really catch her...
The orc's face instantly contorted; he had absolutely no desire to taste poison again.

Poison Fire glanced at his underling's cowardly appearance, glared at him with exasperation, and said, "Of course you should continue patrolling! What, you want to slack off?"

The orc clutched his throbbing head and chuckled as he followed, saying, "Well, I was just worried that the little female from the Snow Tiger tribe might poison us again."

Hearing the orc say that, Poisonfire's face turned even greener, and he quickened his pace: "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The two tribes left, and the forest returned to silence, with only the rustling of branches in the cold wind echoing around.

The snow in the polar forest finally began to melt on a sunny day half a month later. The tribes and wild animals living in the forest felt the temperature rise, and the forest began to radiate vitality.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue and her group arrived at the edge of the Crimson Flame Plain.

Wu Yue looked at the last bit of pickled cabbage in the small jar, her heart skipped a beat, the food she had brought out was almost gone.

Teng Qian was dealing with a horned bull that was twice his size. This kind of beast was the most common prey they caught after arriving at the edge of the Crimson Flame Plain.

I don't know what kind of living habits this wild animal has. It didn't migrate away in the winter and seems to have been living on the edge of that big river not far away.

When Wu Yue first saw the great river, she was also somewhat shocked, because in all her time in the Beast World, she had never seen such a wide river.

The river had thawed by then, and if you got close, the roar of the water carrying ice shards as it flowed was deafening.

At this moment, Yuan Lang stood by the surging river, holding a sharpened long stick tightly in his hand.

"Moon, do you think the captain can catch the fish?"

Teng Qian glanced at the surging river, then at his captain standing by the river, and his heart began to waver.

With that river's current speed, most fish really couldn't survive; perhaps only aquatic creatures would be left.

Sure enough, not long after Teng Qian finished complaining, Yuan Lang by the river thrust his long staff downwards, and when he lifted it up, a strange fish, as big as half an orc and full of sharp teeth, was hanging from the sharp end of the staff.

Yuan Lang frowned as he looked at the water beast in his hand. Could this thing be eaten?
But thinking about how I'd been posing here for so long without getting anything in return, I felt quite embarrassed.

Whether or not this water beast is edible, at least we've gained something!
Thinking of this, he found the ferocious water beast somewhat more pleasing to the eye, and picked it up and walked towards the fire.

"Moon, I've never seen this water beast before. Do you think it's edible?"

Wu Yue looked at the grotesque fish with a rather complicated expression, and then glanced at Yuan Lang. The orc's face stiffened as he gathered a ball of witch power in his hands and wrapped it up.

After a while, seeing no change in the magical power in his hand, he glanced disdainfully at the ugly, strange fish and said, "It's edible, no problem."

Yuan Lang's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, instantly calmed down. He immediately gave his younger brother a smug look before taking the strange fish away to deal with it.

Wu Yue glanced at the sauerkraut in the jar again. There was just enough for one meal. She decided to make sauerkraut fish today.

The sauerkraut, pickled before winter, had a tangy aroma that kept wafting into everyone's noses, making Wu Yue's mouth water.

At this moment, Yuan Lang, who had finished dealing with the strange fish, also came over. When he saw the little bit of pickled cabbage left next to Wu Yue, his eyes lit up: "Shall we make pickled cabbage fish?"

Wu Yue nodded: "There's only this much pickled cabbage left, let's eat it. This jar can also be used to store other things."

Apart from Yingze, the others had all eaten delicious food in their previous countries, so they naturally found it very rare to taste good food.

Wu Yue opened her small animal skin bag and took out several kinds of seasonings.

"Teng Qian, cut me a piece of fatty meat."

Teng Qian hurriedly cut the fatty meat into small cubes and handed them to Wu Yue along with the leaves, adding a bright smile.

The next moment, the leaf containing the diced fatty meat was snatched away by Yuan Lang, whose face was dark with anger, leaving a large footprint on his face.

"Damn, is that even necessary?"

I just wanted some pickled fish to eat!
However, Teng Qian, who had been a subordinate for a long time, really didn't have the courage to say "I am" in front of his boss. He could only snort angrily twice and then timidly return to the fire to roast meat.

The eldest brother is so stingy!

The chopped pickled cabbage, along with various seasonings such as spicy fruit and sesame fruit, is stir-fried in a wok with oil. It is then placed in a ceramic bowl along with the snow-white fish, and finally drizzled with a layer of hot and fragrant animal fat. The aroma of sour, fragrant, spicy, and numbing flavors instantly fills the air.

"Gudong!"

"Gudong!"

"Gudong!"

"Gudong!"

Four sounds of swallowing saliva suddenly rang out around them.

Wu Yue looked up with amusement and saw four orc warriors surrounding the pottery bowl, their eyes gleaming as they drooled over the pickled fish.

Teng Qian kept wiping the drool from his lips: "Yue, is the sauerkraut fish ready yet?"

There wasn't much pickled fish in the earthenware pot; it certainly wasn't enough to fill the stomachs of several orc warriors.

"Bring your bowls over here, and I'll share some fish with you."

Upon hearing this, Teng Qian, Teng Kun, and Ying Ze's eyes lit up instantly.

That's right. If we were to eat together, who could match Yuan Lang's chopstick speed? These are lessons learned the hard way from eating together recently.

After everyone received some fish, Wu Yue pushed the remaining pickled fish in the earthenware bowl in front of the orc with a dark expression. She whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I only gave them the tail meat. I saved the best cuts and the fish head for you." Hearing this, Yuan Lang's expression improved considerably. He waved his chopsticks and picked up some meat from the fish's belly for Wu Yue, saying, "This part has fewer bones."

Then, he happily picked up the ceramic bowl, which was bigger than his own face, and began to eat it with relish.

Wu Yue glanced at the orc with amusement. He had lived two lives, yet he still had such a childish temper.

After eating, the group sat together and began to discuss their next route.

"Now that the weather is starting to warm up, the ferocious beasts and wild animal tides are also returning. If we continue in this direction, we will definitely encounter them."

We are too few in number now; encountering a beast tide would be extremely dangerous.

Yingze frowned: "But if you want to go to the Cloud Mist Mountains, you have to go through this mountain range. This mountain range is the lowest point in the range that separates the Crimson Flame Plain from the Cloud Mist Mountains."

After saying that, he gave a wry smile: "Unless we swim across this river."

Wu Yue and the Teng brothers, Teng Qian and Teng Kun, immediately brightened up. Swimming across would be great; going downstream would save them time, conserve energy, and allow them to avoid the beast tide.

The way he looked at Yingze was incredibly bright; he was practically praising his brilliant idea.

Before they could even open their mouths, each of the three of them received a sharp tap on the head, and Yuan Lang's voice rang out from the side: "You don't think the river is safe, do you?"

As he spoke, he kicked the strange fish that they had just dealt with, whose bones were already broken into several pieces.

Wu Yue and the others froze, only then remembering that there were aquatic beasts in the water, and in terms of ferocity, they were no less than the wild beasts on land.

He chuckled dryly and lowered his head.

"Then let's continue in this direction, but this time we need to be more careful. Let's stay here for a few days and make some jerky to take with us. We can't stop to make food until we leave the herd."

Everyone knew the danger of encountering a beast tide, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

In May, they began preparing the seasoning for making jerky, while the beastmen went out hunting. The group stayed on the edge of the Crimson Flame Plains for almost a week before all the jerky was roasted.

"set off!"

A few days after entering the Cloud Mist Mountains, their plan to escape the beasts was thwarted, because along the way through that small mountain range, apart from the largest river, they couldn't find any place to replenish their water supply.

Looking at the various bamboo jars on the group of people, Wu Yue smiled wryly. In the end, she suppressed her breathing, slipped along the edge of the herd to the riverbank, and began filling the bamboo jars with water.

Seeing the wary herbivores around them, Wu Yue could only manage a forced smile: "Brothers, we're all out here on the road, so let's look out for each other. We're just here to get some water, not to hunt. Don't panic or shout, we're all good friends!"

While pouring water and rambling on, Wu Yue's bizarre behavior drew sidelong glances from several orcs around her.

"Moon, have you lost your mind because of these wild beasts?"

What, are you just talking to yourself?

Wu Yue chuckled dryly, "Hehe, I'm just a little nervous."

The orcs' hands trembled as they held the bamboo jars; who wouldn't be nervous?
"I have one empty bamboo jar left. What about you?"

Wu Yue looked at the orc warriors around her and said.

Yingze lifted the bamboo jar that was being filled with water: "Me too, this is the only one left."

Yuan Lang nodded as well: "So are we."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a commotion arose from outside the herd of beasts. The group quickly put away their bamboo jars and looked nervously in the direction from which the sound came.

"A wild beast has come out to hunt. Everyone, please keep quiet."

Yuan Lang immediately pulled Wu Yue into his arms: "Be careful, don't get discovered."

"Ow!"

"Roar!"

"Ang ang!"

The fierce roars of wild beasts and the cries of herbivores echoed through the forest. As if startled by the roars, the herbivores around the group began to kick their hooves in panic and scatter in all directions.

Without the cover of herbivorous wild animals, the group's figures appeared abruptly in the eyes of the surrounding beasts.

After a moment of silence, the beasts charged at them, their eyes bloodshot. Even the ferocious beasts that had just been hunting turned and charged at them.

"Wow, that's quite a spectacle!"

Teng Qian was still stroking his chin and sighing when a large hand grabbed his arm and threw him into the river behind him.

"Transform into beast form!"

Yuan Lang's roar echoed from the shore, and Teng Qian instinctively obeyed.

The orc in the river disappeared, replaced by a snow tiger paddling like a dog.

With a jolt, Yuan Lang, Wu Yue, and Teng Kun landed on Teng Qian's back: "Hurry up!"

The orc's voice was urgent, for wild beasts had already jumped into the water and were paddling toward them.

"You guys go quickly! I can fly. I'll hold them off here for a bit, then I'll come find you!"

Yingze's voice rang out behind them.

Upon hearing this, Teng Qian stopped lingering and began paddling in the water, drifting away with the current.

Eagle Claw breathed a sigh of relief after eliminating the beast that tried to chase after them from the water.

But the next moment, a powerful pressure that made his expression change drastically rushed over from the shore.
