Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 487 The Thing Called Face
Seeing that she was not only not angry, but even smiled, Fu'er finally felt relieved; the witch really wouldn't be angry.

Perhaps the shaman also wanted to know if the earthen wall was sturdy!

With that thought in mind, Foul gathered all his strength and slammed into the earthen wall.

With another muffled thud, Foul's body was thrown backward just like Daman's earlier, but the orc warrior's agility allowed him to regain his balance in time. He then looked in surprise at the spot where he had just crashed into.

Apart from some dust falling off, there was no damage.

Even Wu Yue and the others on the side were somewhat surprised by this situation. In their opinion, with the strength of the orc warrior, the earthen wall should at least have some cracks after his full-force impact.

Teng Qian glanced strangely at Fu'er, who was still in a state of surprise standing to the side, and quietly moved closer to Wu Yue and the others, saying, "Is this half-orc kid a little weak?"

Wu Yue felt a twitch in the corner of her eye. Where did this idiot come from? Get him out of here!

Yuan Lang handed him a death stare, and Teng Qian chuckled dryly, making a gesture of rolling up his sleeves: "It seems this earthen wall is still quite sturdy. I'll go give it a try."

Wu Yue and the others did not stop them, but simply moved a little further away.

Even Fu'er, who had just turned pale because Teng Qian said he was weak, stood further away.

"Hehe, watch me. I'll demolish this house built of clods of dirt in one go."

"Hey!"

After a shout, the orc's figure rushed towards the earthen wall like a gust of wind.

"Good heavens, if Tengqian's momentum rebounds, it'll be quite a distance before it recovers."

Yingyan murmured, stroking his chin.

Upon hearing this, the tribespeople standing behind him glanced at Teng Qian, who was rushing forward, and then at their own positions. They silently began to move, clearing a small space for him.

It shouldn't be a big deal for a powerful orc warrior to fall to the ground.
But what was that saying again? An orc warrior is an orc warrior; they're a different kind of firework.

The earthen wall, which had just been struck by a pure-blooded male and a half-orc warrior, instantly developed a fist-sized hole under Teng Qian's punch.

Meanwhile, the orc warrior, with his back to the crowd, was grimacing and flexing his aching fist.

Good heavens! It hurt so much he just wanted to call for his mother.
However, one must take good care of one's image. The fierce pain on his face vanished instantly, and when he turned around again, he looked as if he had just flicked a small clod of dirt with ease.

"I told you, this little mud wall could never stump a powerful orc warrior."

The crowd below stared at the hole blasted into the earthen wall by the orc's fist, then looked at Teng Qian, who remained calm and collected, their eyes burning with fervor. The orc warriors were truly too powerful.

Wu Yue and the others looked at Teng Qian, who was trying to act all high and mighty in front of the earthen wall, with disdain. He was just being stubborn.

However, even after the orc warriors' all-out attack, the earthen wall only had a fist-sized hole smashed in it, with no other damage whatsoever. This made the tribespeople realize how sturdy the earthen wall was.

"As you can see, our base doesn't have a large enough mountain wall to dig a cave, which is why I had you make these mud bricks."

The house that the tribesmen were just banging on was built with the mud bricks you made; it's your future residence.

Everyone stared in shock, their eyes wide.

"house?"

"Weren't the houses built with huge stones?"

"Yes, I heard that only the shamans and chieftains of large and super tribes can live there."

Upon learning that they could live in the house, the crowd erupted in excitement, all casting eager glances at Wu Yue and the orc warriors beside her.

"The mud bricks you are making now are still not enough to build houses for all the tribespeople, so your task, apart from the hunting and gathering teams, is to continue making these mud bricks."

The house is right here. Those who wish to see it can go in, but please don't crowd.

After Wu Yue finished speaking, she left with Yuan Lang and the others, and the open space behind them instantly erupted in excitement.

Hunting parties led by several orcs were given priority entry, followed by gathering parties and other tribesmen. Even slaves were allowed to go in and see the sturdy and bright house.

With the apple hanging in front of them, everyone's enthusiasm for work soared to unprecedented heights.

"Master! Master! I've managed to steal some food from the birds again, and they're eating it with great relish."

A childish voice rang out from outside the cave, and a gentle smile appeared on Wu Yue's face. She turned her head and saw her little apprentice, Emma, ​​skipping and jumping in from outside the cave.

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized, dried, yellow object and handed it to his master.

"While the little bird was eating this, there was a small beast with a big tail and two big front teeth chirping around, and it would try to steal the bird's food from time to time."

Emma is very sensitive to food and herbs. She will remember anything Wu Yue says about food and herbs, and even if she doesn't understand them, she will come over and ask her very seriously.

Wu Yue really liked this little apprentice.

Little Emma asked her how she knew if food was safe to eat.
Wu Yue smiled and said, "Most of the food that birds or wild animals eat is not poisonous, but you should still be careful. It's best to bring it back for yourself to see."

Since then, little Emma has become a figure feared by the birds and animals in the forest. Whenever they hear little Emma's voice, the birds and animals will hide their food immediately, or if they can't hide it, they will run away with the food.

Wu Yue took the thick, dried leaf that Little Emma handed her, smiled, and patted her little head: "Go back and eat your food. There are many little cubs in the tribe eyeing you." The little one had never been full since birth, so she was extremely protective of her food. Whenever she heard someone coveting her food, her little legs would twitch and howl. After saying goodbye to her master, she ran out of the cave.

Watching the little guy's lively figure, Wu Yue smiled before turning her gaze back to the withered leaf-like object in her hand: "Hmm?"

These withered leaf-like things must have been stored by some small animal. They are a fully ripe fruit, with some of the edges already cracked, revealing the yellow granular fruit inside.

Yuan Lang reached out, picked up a fruit, and sniffed it: "We've seen this plant before when we were exchanging salt."

Change the salt?

That was what the original owner of Yuan Lang's body had experienced.

"Is this edible?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "Yes, but the tribes there collect this food when it is slightly yellow. It has a slightly sweet taste and is very juicy, just like fruit."

We've tried, but...

The orc glanced at the fruit in the little female's fair palm: "This fruit is too small. The orc warriors found it troublesome to eat, so they stopped eating it."

Wu Yue nodded knowingly: "In the time it takes for the beastmen to gather this fruit, they could hunt several wild beasts."

Since it wasn't poisonous, Wu Yue took out a hard, yellow fruit and put it in her mouth, but after trying it for a while, she had no choice but to give up.

Helplessly: "It's really hard. If I keep trying, my teeth will break."

Yuan Lang's smile was almost impossible to hide: "This fruit is already ripe, so the taste is definitely not as good as before."

He turned around, picked up a stone bowl, put a fruit into the bowl, and began to grind it vigorously with a wooden stick.

In just a moment, the fruit that had almost broken Wu Yue's teeth turned into a pile of powder the size of a fingernail.

Wu Yue scooped some out with a wooden spoon and put it in her mouth. It was dry but had a slight sweetness, and the texture was just like the cornmeal she had eaten in her previous life.

When this thought popped into her mind, Wu Yue's eyes shone like the stars in the sky as she looked at the orc warrior with a smile on his lips with ecstasy.

Setting down the stone bowl, Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow, a hint of smugness in his eyes: "You discovered it?"

If this hard stuff is ground into powder, wouldn't it become a food?
For the two of them, finding a staple food was far more valuable than discovering ten kinds of wild vegetables.

"Does this fruit grow on a tree?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "Yes, this kind of fruit tree doesn't grow very tall, but there are many sharp thorns on its branches. When the beastmen collect it, they get pricked and scream in pain."

This fruit also grows in our polar forests, but not in large quantities. It's mostly found within the territory of the Mad Lion tribe, and they only eat it when it's just ripe; once fully ripe, it becomes too hard to chew.

Wu Yue smiled: "It seems our gathering team will have a new target."

"Tomorrow when we go hunting, I will instruct the hunting and gathering teams to look for this tree in the surrounding area."

At dinner time, little Emma, ​​who was nestled in her tribal grandmother's arms and munching on raw meat, took out a package of food that smelled tempting.

The aroma instantly filled the small open space, attracting the covetous eyes of the surrounding tribesmen.

Raman swallowed hard, looked down at the raw meat in his hand that he had just thought was incredibly tender, and instantly lost its appeal.

"Emma, ​​what kind of food is that? It smells so good!"

The little male sitting next to his mother couldn't help but lean over, his round eyes full of longing. He had smelled this fragrance before, but it was in the cave of the shaman and the orcs.

Little Emma chuckled as she opened the small package containing the food. Inside was a piece of roasted meat as big as a male's head, with wisps of steam rising gently.

The male cub's drool spurted out from the corner of its lips: "It's roasted meat!"

Little Emma, ​​a generous little girl, placed the roasted meat in her hands into the hands of her grandmother who was holding her: "Grandma, please share some with us."

The female grandmother stroked the head of the little cub in her arms with satisfaction. Emma was so well-behaved.

Since Emma became Wu Yue's disciple, the people of the original tribe have treated her with even more care and affection.

A shaman's disciple has the potential to become a shaman himself, the most revered figure in an orc tribe.

So this grandmother was assigned to take care of little Emma until she was able to gather food on her own.

Having cared for little Emma for so long, Grandma naturally knew her appetite. After setting aside enough food for her, she shared the rest with the other cubs that had come looking for her.

With her greasy little hands, Emma held the fragrant roasted meat and munched on it. Her heart was filled with gratitude and respect for her master. Although she was still just a little cub, her past life had taught her that if it weren't for her master, she would never have been able to live such a life where she could eat her fill every day.

The next morning, everyone learned from the orc warriors about a new mission for the day, and after seeing the familiar fruit, Raman finally understood the origin of the large piece of roasted meat that little Emma had in her arms at dinner the previous night.

Although he hadn't contributed the fruit himself, for some reason, his already somewhat hunched chest straightened up considerably, and he couldn't suppress the pride in his heart.

Little Emma is a member of their tribe.
Ah, no, we're all in the same tribe now, but... hehe.
This did nothing to diminish his pride; he was simply smug.

"This tree is very important to our tribe, so you all need to pay attention to it. The more teams that find this fruit tree today, the more meat they will get tonight."
