Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 494 Let's go gather herbs together!

Gan held the little Ayu tightly in his arms, his eyes turning red in an instant. But when he saw the tribesmen beside him slowly placing the fruit in their arms on the ground, he let out a deep breath and lowered his eyes.

He threw the remaining fruit in his arms on the ground, his heart churning with bitterness and resentment, but he fiercely suppressed it.

"let's go."

The chieftain gave the patrolling male one last look, his face ashen, and led his people out of the Snow Moon Tribe's encampment.

"Father, we didn't get any food from the fruit we collected. Will we go hungry when we go back today?"

Little Ayu's tender voice rang out from the crowd, tinged with a hint of sobbing.

His little head couldn't understand why he was able to get food in exchange for working in the Snow Moon Tribe last time, but this time they brought fruit but got nothing and were even driven away by the male.

Gan Kushe patted his cub's head and said, "We'll gather some wild vegetables on our way back. We won't let little Ayu go hungry today."

"If we had known, we would have left some fruit in the cave. I didn't expect that the Snow Moon Tribe is no different from other tribes. The food we worked so hard to gather was taken away like this."

The chieftain glanced at his indignant tribesmen and sighed, "How can we wanderers possibly rebel against a tribe, not even an ordinary member?"

"Fellow tribesmen, the fact that we are still alive is the best thing. Let's hurry and gather some wild vegetables to take back to the tribe."

Although their footsteps were heavy and mingled with the sweat of the males, their hearts were filled with hope, a hope that was shattered before they even entered the Snow Moon Tribe.

The surrounding grass and shrubs have begun to sprout new buds, and food is gradually becoming more plentiful.

"Chief, I see so many wild vegetables!"

The cub's tender voice rang out in the forest. Following his pointing finger, everyone saw a small patch of wild vegetables growing vigorously in a clearing not far away.

The males swallowed hard, but in the end, they could only look away.

“Ayu, this is the territory of the Snow Moon Tribe. We are not allowed to gather resources here.”

The little ones clearly couldn't understand why they couldn't take the food that was right in front of them.

"If we gather wild vegetables from within the Snow Moon Tribe's territory, the Snow Moon Tribe will take those vegetables back, and they might even kill us. Never, under any circumstances, venture into any tribe's territory to look for food, understand?"

The little guy nodded blankly, a sudden feeling of envy rising in his heart—envy for those tribal people.

The food supply for the Snow Moon Tribe has become increasingly abundant as the forest recovers, especially today, the two gathering teams brought back more than twice as much fruit as in the previous days.

"Have you found a large cornfield?"

Wu Yue's eyes were full of joy. After having cornmeal, she made many delicious foods and her love for this food grew day by day.

The tribal chief glanced smugly at Raman and Fore beside him; their gathering team had brought back the most fruit today.

"Today's hunting party brought back wild boars. Wild boars are the best for roasting."

The tribal chief smacked his lips while giving the two orc captains beside him an undisguised look.

Since the discovery of this type of corn kernel, three gathering teams have gone out several times, but their gathering team has never won first place.

Seeing the other two gathering teams getting so much meat every day, it would be a lie to say I wasn't envious.

He hadn't held out much hope for today, but to his surprise, when he returned to the tribe, he was summoned to a secluded place by his former tribesmen.

Thinking of the mountain of fruit his people had received, the tribal chief's mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears in a wide grin.

As for the vagrants whose fruits were stolen, who cares about them?
“You’ve gathered more food today than either of the other two gathering teams ever did, so we’ll give you a whole wild boar beast as a special gift today.”

Seeing that Wu Yue was happy, Yuan Lang was unusually generous and threw a whole wild boar to the tribal chief.

"The whole one!!!"

Not only the tribal chief, but everyone behind him was stunned. They had lived for so long, and when had they ever gotten so much food? Their eyes turned red with envy.

Having served as a tribal chief before, the small tribe chief respectfully bowed to Wu Yue and several orc warriors before instructing the males to carry the wild boar beast to the riverbank to deal with it.

"Moon, their expressions of never having seen a wild boar before remind me of something you once said."

Yuan Lang smiled and looked at the little female beside him.

Wu Yue turned her gaze away from the mountain of corn and looked at him questioningly: "What did you say?"

A deep laugh escaped from the orc's throat, and a rare smile appeared in his deep eyes: "So this is what it means to achieve freedom from wild boar meat shortages."

Wu Yue: "."

If you hadn't brought it up, she would have forgotten that she ever said that.

But thinking about the state of the gathering team just now, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Isn't that what we achieved—freedom from wild boar meat!"

As the two were talking, the orc warriors and eagles from the Dongsang tribe came over.

After bowing to Wu Yue, he said, "Lord Wu Yue, we wish to go into the forest to collect some herbs needed by the super tribe. Would your tribe like to come along?"

"The herbs that the super tribe needs!"

Wu Yue sat up straight instantly: "Is it very far?"

The orc warrior shook his head: "It's far from our tribe, but it only takes about three days to get to the Snowmoon Tribe."

If we're quick, it can be done in two days.

A hint of doubt appeared in Wu Yue's eyes: "You're willing to take us with you?"

The herbs needed by super tribes must be extraordinary, and precious herbs are not common even in the vast forests. She did not think that the Dongsang tribe would be so kind.

The Dongsang tribe chuckled and scratched their heads: "The only orc and half-orc warriors we brought this time are me and Yingfei. Yingfei needs to stay behind to lead the rest of the tribe in hunting and storing food, so..."

The orc warrior chuckled sheepishly, "I'll lead the way, but I hope Lord Wu Yue's tribe can take responsibility for our safety along the way. Once we find the herbs, we only need two portions of each."

"Just two servings?"

The orc warrior nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Eagle Fly and I will each get one, and the rest belong to the Snow Moon Tribe."

Wu Yue pondered for a moment, then looked up at the orc warrior and Ying Fei: "If you find three plants, I'll only give you one. If you find more than three, I'll distribute them according to your method."

As for three plants or less…

She raised her crescent-shaped eyebrows slightly: "I won't share them with you."

The orc warrior and Eaglefly exchanged a wry smile, but could only nod in agreement.

After agreeing on a time to leave, the two departed the cave. When they returned to the house, the tribespeople were preparing a roasted meat.

"Eagle Flying, weren't you always so enthusiastic about gathering herbs? Why did you let me have it this time?"

The orc warrior blinked, his burly frame giving off a rather lewd air.

Eagle Flying's lips twitched slightly: "Do you think you can get food from the Snow Moon Tribe's hunting party if you stay here?"

The joy in the orc warrior's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp, throbbing pain in his knees, as if he had been kicked by a giant foot.

"They were led by orc warriors, and I, a half-orc, was stealing food from their mouths."

As he spoke, he seemed to have realized the reason, and suddenly felt smug. He patted Yingfei's shoulder in a pretentious manner: "Well, there's really no way around it. If I stay, I'm afraid we won't be able to store enough food for the gathering."

"You're an orc warrior, so you'll have to work harder. Don't worry about the herbs; I'll make sure you get your share."

Yingfei reached out and took the roasted meat handed to him by his tribesman, sneering, "If I hadn't seen the smugness in your eyes, I would have believed you."

Upon hearing this, the orc burst into laughter, instantly creating a lively atmosphere in the room.

Meanwhile, a commotion broke out in the cave where Wu Yue and the others lived, with Teng Qian jumping up and down and shouting.

"Why?! Why am I left to stay in the tribe and guard the house? Am I not one of your companions anymore?"

Wu Yue: "."

What the hell is this lunatic? Get him out of here!

“You and Yingyan are in a group, and Yue will be going this time too. Boss will naturally have to come along. I am in a group with the boss, so I will go too.”

Teng Kun's honest face had an expression of taking it all for granted.

Yingyan sat by the fire, eating heartily without a care in the world, occasionally glancing up at the two noisy people, looking on with amusement.

As a Buddhist-like eagle beast, he was at peace. It was fine to let him follow, but it was also fine if he didn't. He was just doing work wherever he was, as long as he wasn't abandoned.

"Since the two of you can't make a decision..."

The orc's magnetic voice echoed in the cave, and Teng Qian and Teng Kun looked nervously at their leader.

"Brilliant and mighty boss, just tell me what it is already! I'm dying to know!"

'A boss who keeps whining and complaining is so unlovable!'

No one knows what the two beasts are thinking.

"Then let Yingyan go."

Yuan Lang used his large, well-defined hands to remove a piece of roasted liver from the wooden stick and place it in a stone bowl to cool, his face expressionless.

It was as if I had just said, "The weather is so nice today."

"Boss, how could you be so despicable!"

"Boss!" Was all that affection over the years ultimately wasted?
The two drama queens resumed their performance, but no matter how pitiful they acted and rolled around, Yuan Lang's decision remained unwavering.

Before they could even look at her with pleading eyes, Wu Yue turned around and stared at the still steaming wild boar liver, as if it were some great treasure.

Haha! Women!
Meanwhile, Hawkeye, who was suddenly hit by a tortilla falling from the sky, curled his lips into a smug smile.

"hey-hey."

He chuckled lewdly a few times, looking at the two tigers that seemed to have had their fur shaved off, and he felt incredibly smug.

What were you two arguing about? In the end, he was the one who went.
"Brother, look at that smug little fellow!"

"Hmph, this guy must have planned this all along. He's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

"You little rascal!"

"You little rascal!"

The two furious beasts turned their grief and anger into appetite, and they killed half of the wild boar beast before they were done.

A week later, led by the orc warriors of the Dongsang tribe, Wu Yue, Yuan Lang, and Ying Yan embarked on a journey to find herbs.

Tengqian and Tengkun waved their arms at the entrance of the tribe, biting their toenails—no, their fingernails—as they reluctantly bid them farewell.

Yingfei, who was standing next to the two, silently moved his legs away from them. For some reason, even though they were two males with longer leg hair than him, they were exuding a strong feminine aura.

Could it be that I've been misjudging them all along, and that both of them are female?
As he spoke, his restless little eyes unconsciously began to move upwards, wanting to find out what was going on.

can not tell
My gaze shifted downwards again, but the animal skin skirt obscured the view, so I still couldn't tell.

At this moment, the Eagle Warrior of the Dongsang Tribe began to consider whether to arrange to go to the water with the two orc warriors of the Snowmoon Tribe. He had already thought of an excuse: to see who could spray the farthest.

Looking at the familiar scenery around her, Wu Yue turned to the orc warriors of the Dongsang tribe not far away: "Buren, this seems to be the direction to the Uk tribe?"

The orc warrior named Bren nodded: "Yes, most of the herbs I know are located within the territory of the Uk tribe, so our tribe always comes here to collect herbs secretly."

What would happen if we were discovered?

Bren chuckled dryly, "Then we'll just throw away the herbs and run for our lives. The Uk tribe and our Dongsang tribe don't get along well. If we get caught, they'll definitely kill us."

Wu Yue chuckled softly, and her all-knowing gaze made Bren tremble.

It seems this witch knows about my and Yingfei's little scheme.

In fact, the Dongsang tribe always gets caught every time they send people to the Uk tribe's territory to steal herbs; it's just a matter of time. So, every time this happens, the Uk tribe sends out orc warriors to guard the herbs.

Some very precious herbs are even guarded by orc warriors, so they don't steal many herbs each year; two or three are already considered good.

However, this year we received help from the Snow Moon Tribe.
Brun's lips unconsciously parted into a smile again; he was sure he would get far more herbs than in previous years.

With a bright future ahead, Bren felt his legs were stronger and he ran faster.

On the second night, the four hid in a large tree on the edge of the Uk tribe's territory. In a clearing ahead, many half-human males were patrolling. In the middle of the clearing, a large bonfire was burning, and a burly half-orc warrior was sitting there eating heartily.

"With me guarding the herbs here this year, if the Dongsang tribe still dares to steal them, I'll send them to see the Beast God!"

"Hehe, Captain! Those Dongsang tribesmen will definitely not dare to come over if they see you here!"
