Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 476 Taking a Risk

The kneeling male trembled and stammered, "Chief, we have searched the entire tribe's territory, but there is no trace of Captain Awang."

The burly figure in the grass released the female beside him, his chest heaving violently before he suppressed his rage: "Get out."

Chunren was jolted awake. He scrambled to his feet, hunched over, and staggered out.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, the chieftain of the Uk tribe at the head of the table grew even more gloomy: "These pure humans are truly useless, each and every one of them is a waste of food."

"Chief, bring these good-for-nothings back. I'll take a squad out to search for them later."

An orc warrior rose and walked to the middle of the cave, bowing deeply.

Chief Uk's anger subsided slightly when he saw the orcs: "Well, after you've eaten, go out and look for Awang. You must do your best to bring him back. No matter how many orcs and orc warriors I control, you are the true members of this tribe. Those people are just our slaves."

Upon hearing this, the orc was overjoyed and quickly bowed in agreement.

The next day, as usual, Wu Yue took little Emma to search for familiar herbs and wild vegetables in the forest surrounding the Laso tribe. However, the Laso tribe was too small, and after collecting some herbs they had found before, they did not have any new finds.

Just then, the male members of the Laso tribe, Tengqian, and Yingze, who had gone out hunting, returned to the tribe with solemn expressions and met Wuyue and the others who were gathering in the forest.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing their solemn expressions, Wu Yue asked in a deep voice.

"Moon, let's hurry back and pack our things to leave. We just spotted some Uk tribesmen in the territory of the Uk tribe. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be coming this way to search. They should be able to reach the Laso tribe around this afternoon."

Wu Yue's heart tightened: "The orc chieftain is here?"

He shook his head: "The leader is an orc warrior. There are many of them, and at the very front of the group, there are more than a dozen orc warriors. They should be the ones controlled by the Nauk tribe."

They were the real orc warriors, and they were naturally the most aware of the fluctuations in the aura of orcs. However, apart from being alive, those orc warriors had no spirit or energy at all, and looked lifeless.

Raman, who was standing to the side, trembled. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at Teng Qian, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

What good will asking do?

Their chieftain has been controlled for so many years.

Thinking of this, he looked down at little Emma, ​​who looked completely bewildered, and felt a deep sense of pity.

She stepped forward and took little Emma's small black hand: "Little Emma, ​​your older sister and brothers have something to do and need to leave for a few days, but you have to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, otherwise your older brother and sister won't be able to come back. You come back with me first."

Little Emma looked at Wu Yue beside her with her big, dark eyes, as if she wanted to confirm with her whether what her clan leader uncle had said was true.

Wu Yue reached out and patted the little one's head: "The clan chief is right. My sister and brother are going out for a few days, but we must keep it a secret and not tell anyone. Little Emma must be good. When my sister comes back, we will teach Emma to recognize herbs and wild vegetables."

Having received an affirmative answer, little Emma nodded obediently: "Yes, Emma is a good little girl."

Chief Raman nodded to the group and left with his people and little Emma.

Wu Yue and the others quickly returned to their cave dwelling and packed up all the things they had left behind.

"The biggest problem now is this cave."

Yuan Lang extended his sharp claws and began digging haphazardly on the cave wall. The cave hadn't grown much larger, but the walls were no longer smooth as before, and it looked almost identical to the cave in the Lasuo tribe.

"Yuanlang warriors, are you there?"

The voice of Chief Raman came from outside the cave. Yuan Lang, who had put away his claws, and Wu Yue, who was standing at the entrance of the small cave, exchanged a glance, picked up the animal skin bundle in their hands, and walked out.

At this moment, dozens of Laso tribesmen were standing outside the cave, with Chief Laman standing at the very front.

“Our old cave was fine, but I was worried that the Uk tribe would ask about it, so I separated half of my tribe to live here. We also stored the food the tribe had been gathering here, pretending it was a food storage cave.”

When Raman spoke of the food storage cave, he felt a pang of bitterness. When the previous chieftain was still alive, their Laso tribe, though not the most powerful, was not as destitute as it is now.

In addition to the caves used for the tribespeople to live in, there was also a food storage cave.

However, ever since their chieftain was captured by the Uk tribe, their tribe's former territory has been seized by another tribe. He is the only orc warrior in the tribe, and it has already taken a lot of effort for him to dig out a cave large enough for his people to live in.

During the day, he also led his people on hunts, and during that time he felt as if he had aged twenty years.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "Okay, we'll stay nearby and won't go far. We'll have our tribesmen keep an eye on things here, and we'll come back after the Uk tribesmen leave."

After they finished speaking, they didn't linger and left with their baskets on their backs.

"Chieftain, we..."

The male who had spoken swallowed hard, glanced at the cave, and asked, "Are we really going to move in?"

Raman glanced at him: "Go in. From now on, treat this place as our cave. If the Uk tribe discovers anything, our entire tribe will be killed."

The Uk tribe's search party didn't keep the Laso tribe waiting long. Just as Chief Raman was leading his tribesmen to make grass balls in the open space, the male on patrol came tumbling in.

Behind him was a group of Uk tribesmen.

Those males who had acted like dogs in front of the Uk chieftain now held their heads high, looking at the lush green wild vegetables in the hands of Chief Raman and his companions with disdain.

Raman immediately spotted the orc warrior standing at the very front, his eyes wide open, bloodshot, and the stone in his hand fell to the ground.

"tribe"

He had barely uttered a single word when he met the orc warrior's sorrowful, pleading eyes.

He was startled, then thought of little Emma sitting not far behind him, playing with the cubs.

He took a deep breath, burying the hatred in his heart, and then looked at the orc warrior standing in the middle: "I wonder what business the Uk tribe has with our Laso tribe?"

The orc warrior naturally noticed the subtle interaction between Raman and the orc warrior in front of him, but he had a mission assigned by his chieftain, so he ignored it.

He frowned at Raman, his tone icy: "During your hunting trip these past few days, did you see Captain Awang, or any strangers?"

Raman's face tightened, but because he was so thin, it was impossible to tell. "We've been hunting in our territory these past few days and haven't seen Captain Awang, nor have any members of other tribes come to our territory."

Thinking of the tiny territory of the Rasso tribe, a hint of disdain flashed in the orc warrior's eyes.

After giving Raman a cold look, he walked straight into the cave behind them: "You go and check the other places."

As he spoke, he completely ignored the Laso tribesmen who were still standing there and went straight into the cave to start searching. Looking at the grass nests that had been kicked apart by big feet and the animal skins in their hands, the hatred in Raman's eyes was almost tangible.

But seeing the number of people in the Uk tribe's group and those orcs and orc slaves, he still lowered his head with a bitter expression.

"Captain, there's another cave over here!"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and the orc warrior from the Uk tribe strode out of the cave of the Laso tribe, his cold gaze fixed on Chief Raman standing there.

"Chief Raman, when did your tribe get a new cave?"

Raman's heart tightened, and his smile turned bitter: "I want to store up more food before the rainy season, so..."

"hope so."

The orc warrior snorted and turned to walk towards the cave his people had discovered.

"Captain, this cave looks like it was just dug recently. The Laso tribe must have hidden those people that Captain Awang mentioned last time."

Raman, who was following behind the orc, darkened his eyes and stared intently at the human male who was speaking, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The orc captain sensed this killing intent and whirled around to look at Chief Raman, whose eyes were bloodshot: "What do you want to do?"

He was also a little nervous, and the pure-human male being stared at by Raman had already turned pale and sat down on the ground.

The orc captain felt a pang of regret. His strength was about the same as Raman's, or even slightly inferior. His arrogant demeanor in front of Raman was simply because he had the Uk tribe behind him.

Raman took a deep breath, the murderous intent in his eyes fading, but his gaze toward the pure-blooded male who had just spoken remained icy: "What exactly do you want to do? Capturing our chieftain isn't enough, do you also want to fabricate such a story to attack our Laso tribe?"

Towards the end, Raman was already growling.

The orc warrior glanced at the still trembling human male and kicked him in the butt: "Get out, you disgrace."

Ignoring Raman's anger, he then inspected the entire cave.

“Our tribe’s captain, Awang, has gone missing. The chieftain ordered me to lead the tribesmen out to search, not just targeting your Laso tribe, of course.”

He looked at Raman with a sneer: "If Chief Raman has any objections, he can go to our tribe and speak to the chief."

After saying that, he stepped out and led his team away from the Laso tribe in just a short while.

The Uk tribe left, but what was left for the Laso tribe was desolation.

The females, who had just been pounding wild vegetables in the open space, swarmed into the cave. A moment later, a series of loud cries rang out.

"Damn the Uk tribe! They took all the animal hides we painstakingly collected. How are the cubs supposed to survive?!"

"The food I put in the cave yesterday is all gone, boohoo."

In times of scarcity, even a little bit of food can be life-saving.

Looking at the mess in the cave, Raman's face was so dark it seemed as if ink could drip from it at any moment.

"Stop crying, everyone. Hurry up and clean up the cave."

They then left the cave and went hunting with the other males.

Little Emma's eyes were still brimming with tears. The animal skin her father had left her was gone; it was the only thing he had left her.

The poor little girl had no idea that just moments before, her father had looked at her with such excitement that his dull eyes seemed to have come alive.

Many members of the Laso tribe recognized the former chieftain, but they dared not utter a sound and could only bow their heads in silence.

"How pathetic! Isn't the Uk tribe supposed to be a powerful tribe in this forest? Why are they stealing animal hides from the Laso tribe?"

Teng Qian looked at him with disdain.

He had seen the animal hides of the Laso tribe before; they were all pieced together from small pieces of animal hide.

Moreover, the hair on it was patchy and had fallen out quite a bit, so he didn't like it at all.

Yingze sneered: "Did you see that orc warrior take anything? It's the pure humans who are scavenging things, which means that the pure humans of the Uk tribe aren't living very well either."

The Uk tribe left, but Wu Yue and the others did not return to the Lasuo tribe immediately. No one knew if the Uk tribe would launch a surprise attack.

At this moment, in the territory of the Uk tribe, the orc warriors were sitting in the grass nests laid out by the pure-human males, their brows furrowed.

What exactly happened to Ah Wang?

In this forest, there are very few who dare to mess with the Uk tribe, but at times like these, everyone is in a difficult situation, so who has the time to cause trouble for them?
The controlled orcs and orc warriors returned from their hunt, having caught only one forest wolf, but it was still a rare delicacy for them.

After finishing their meal, the orc warrior called over the few orc warriors who were being controlled: "You few go and keep an eye on the tribes we searched today. See if there's anything unusual about them. Be careful, and come back to me immediately if you find anything."

Several orc warriors with blank expressions nodded, then quickly disappeared into the forest.

The nights in the Laso tribe are very quiet, with only the voices of the patrolling tribesmen and the rustling of the surrounding leaves.

In the stillness of the night, a figure, under the cover of darkness, crept up to a large tree not far from the Laso tribe's encampment.

The tree swayed slightly and then fell silent, without disturbing the patrolling male of the Laso tribe.

However, the orc's movements were all observed by a dark figure in a tree not far away.

A hint of human disdain flashed in the shadowy figure's eyes as it flapped its wings and flew into the nearby forest.
