Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 493 Let's Go

"Mother, haven't the chief and father returned yet?"

Ayu's small voice echoed in the dark cave, making the already silent cave even more deathly still.

The women and the elderly were filled with worry. The forest at night was a hunting ground for wild beasts. Humans could not see in the dark like orc warriors, so it would be very dangerous if they encountered wild beasts.

The humans always returned to their tribes before nightfall, while only the powerful orcs and orc warriors dared to run and hunt in the forests at night.

"The leaders must have found a lot of fruit, which is why they are late. Let's wait a little longer."

Ayu was just a little cub after all. After receiving Amu's answer, he felt relieved and played with the other cubs for a while before falling asleep in the hay nest next to Amu.

They waited anxiously until late at night before heavy footsteps finally came from outside the cave.

The large rock blocking the cave entrance was moved, and the eyes of the tribesmen inside the cave and the males outside met, both sides feeling relieved.

The females crowded around: "Why are you all so late today?"

The leader's partner slapped his large hand hard on his partner, causing the leader to stagger involuntarily. He looked at his partner with a wry smile and said, "We found a large grove of fruit trees in a valley, so we filled up all the large leaves we brought with us, hoping to exchange them for more food tomorrow."

They turned and went into the cave, then continued to block the entrance with the large rock. Inside the cave, an old man had already lit a fire.

Wow! So many fruits!

A series of innocent exclamations rang out in the cave. The females, who were busy preparing food, looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the little cubs, who had just been sleeping soundly in the grass nest, were now scrambling onto the small hill of yellow fruit, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the males.

Both the males and females burst into laughter, not only because the cubs were adorable, but also because of the joy of a bountiful harvest.

At night, Ayu's mother lay in her partner's arms, her voice filled with worry: "Gan, if we bring fruit to exchange, will the Snow Moon tribe be angry? Ayu told us about the food."

Gan reached out and patted her back: "Don't worry, the chief said that since the Snow Moon Tribe was able to bring Ayou back, they won't worry about the food issue being leaked."

Hearing her partner's words, the female's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally calmed down a bit. However, as long as these fruits were not exchanged for that kind of food, and as long as she did not know the attitude of the Snow Moon Tribe, she could not truly feel at ease.

The sounds of insects and birdsong filled the forest at dawn, and the forest breeze, carrying the faint scent of grass, blew into the cave through the cracks in the boulders.

The male sleeping on the very edge sniffed, revealing an expression of enjoyment, before slowly opening his eyes.

After listening carefully for a moment, it awakened the males around it and pushed aside the boulder blocking the cave entrance.

"Wow, what a beautiful day! I hope we can get enough food in the exchange."

"Haha, it will definitely work. I'll go get some water."

The other tribespeople had woken up as soon as the boulder was moved, and even the young children followed their fathers and mothers to the nearby bushes to relieve themselves.

"The stone I used to wipe my bottom was too rough, and it still hurts a little."

Ayu and her friends emerged from the grass, their little faces scrunched up. The little cub beside them chuckled, looking smug: "Yesterday when I was playing outside the cave, I found several smooth stones. It felt so good to wipe my bottom!"

The beautiful morning began with the topic of a stone for wiping bottoms.

"No one went out to find food yesterday, so now all that's left are some wilted wild vegetables. Let's make them all into wild vegetable dumplings so the males can take some with them when they leave."

The chieftain's partner kneaded the wild vegetables with his hand, which he had just used to wipe his bottom, while talking to the females around him.

The females nodded: "The males need to walk, so take all the food with them."

"Hehe, don't worry, I found a small clump of wild vegetables when I went out to fetch water. We'll go and pick them later."

There's new food around!
Upon hearing this, the females' eyes instantly lit up like two small suns, and their movements became noticeably faster.

After everyone had eaten, two males stayed behind to protect the females, while the remaining males, including Little Ayu, were taken along and headed towards the Snow Moon tribe.

Although the little guy is young, he has a really good memory. Riding on his father's shoulders, his tender little voice kept pointing the way for everyone.

The distance between the Snow Moon tribe and the settlement was not far. The group set off in the early morning and arrived at the Snow Moon tribe's settlement by noon.

The guarding males naturally recognized these wanderers who worked for various tribes in exchange for food.

"Are you here looking for something to do? The tribesmen from the gathering team haven't returned yet; you've arrived too early."

The only task that requires manpower in the tribe recently is shelling corn kernels.

The chief stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then took out a familiar fruit from the large leaf bag in his arms: "Last time, our tribe's cubs did some work for the Snow Moon tribe and brought back some delicious food in return."

We found similar fruits in the forest around us, so we picked some and wondered if we could trade them for some food.

The patrolling male's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to take the fruit from the leader's hand. Sure enough, it was a corn kernel.

He looked up at the group of males behind the leader. Each male was carrying several large leaf bags, which were probably filled with corn kernels.

A flash of joy crossed his eyes, but the male was instantly enraged: "Your tribe's cubs learned about new food in our tribe and then casually taught it to your own people, and now you dare to come and exchange food!"

He suddenly pointed his spear at the wanderers: "Put down all the food and get back to your tribe, or you'll be wiped out by our Snow Moon tribe."

The orc's voice was cold and sharp, and the spear he pointed at the crowd gleamed with a cold light, making the leader and the males behind him feel as if they had been doused with cold water in winter, and their whole bodies began to tremble.

The abandoned one dared not argue with the tribesmen. Seeing the patrolling male's angry expression, little Ayu covered her mouth tightly with her thin little hands, not daring to cry out.

The chieftain, his face pale, turned to look at his exhausted tribesmen behind him: "Leave the fruit behind, let's go."
