Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 508 Couples Who Freeload

Watching Chief Maji dash ahead, Chief Da Shi's hand, still trembling in the wind, hadn't yet retracted when he saw him: "Chief... um..."

Shouldn't we wait for people to come to us in this kind of situation?
A gust of wind blew by, and a lone leaf drifted down.
"Chief, wait for me!"

I was in such a hurry that I blurted out my hometown dialect.

It was well past lunchtime, as everyone had skipped lunch to watch the excitement of the four tribes.

Seeing the prey still lying on the ground unattended, Teng Qian, who was already starving, picked it up and walked towards the river: "I'll go and clean up the prey. Can we make some cornbread today? Crispy roasted meat with sweet cornbread, and if we could also have a bowl of wild vegetable soup, that would be even better."

Wu Yue smiled at him: "Your little recipe is pretty good, it has protein, carbohydrates and dietary fiber all in one."

Teng Qian scratched his head in confusion: "I don't want to eat any of those. Roasted meat, cornbread, and wild vegetable soup will do."

Seeing Wu Yue nod, he happily went to clean the prey.

"Do you still have cornmeal?"

Yuan Lang asked.

Wu Yue nodded: "There are still some in the space, but it's best to find some corn kernels to bring back when we hunt tomorrow. When I came here, I saw that there were still some corn kernels in the forest. Although there weren't many, they were enough for food for the next few days."

Yuan Lang nodded and reached out to take the animal skin bag she handed him. Inside was more than half a bag of golden corn flour.

When Chief Maji, who had gone out to catch prey halfway through his journey, arrived at the Snow Moon Tribe's cave, his high-bridged nose began to twitch incessantly.

Tick-tock!

A fragrance I'd never smelled before lingered around my nose.

"Moon, the sun is so bright outside, yet it's starting to rain!"

"Let it be a sun shower!"

"I'm going out to see. Holy crap!"

Teng Qian almost stepped into a puddle just as he reached the cave entrance, but the next moment, the orc warrior standing by the puddle with an unknown liquid dripping from his mouth made him realize that this was not a puddle at all, but clearly someone's saliva.

"He's quite a talent. It turns out that what the soldiers said before, that a single sip of saliva from a commoner could drown a person, was actually true."

Teng Qian looked like he had just learned something new.

Immersed in the aroma, Maji only snapped out of his reverie upon seeing Tengqian. Seeing the puddle, as big as his own face, he hurriedly and awkwardly dug it up with his bare feet.

"Haha! Well, I have something very important to discuss with Lord Wuyue."

Teng Qian glanced at the puddle that had been filled with water, then at Chief Maji, whose eyes were practically green with envy, and said with an honest and simple expression, "Our Lord Wuyue just went out."

Chief Machi stood on tiptoe: "Then I'll go in and wait for her."

Teng Qian sneered. This guy was indeed eyeing their food. What a scoundrel!

"It's not very convenient. My eldest doesn't like anyone coming in to disturb him while he's eating. When he gets angry, he won't even spare himself! Ouch!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a bone as thick as an arm smashed precisely into his head: "Let him in."

The deep, magnetic voice was indifferent, yet it made Teng Qian, who had just insisted on blocking the Maji clan chief, purse his lips and make way.

"Hehe, well, I'm going in first!"

After saying this, Chief Maji jumped and ran inside as if he had obtained a dozen wild boars.

"This guy's figure is as sneaky as a weasel going to steal chickens."

What is a weasel?

"You're the kind of person who's like that. Why are you here too?!"

Teng Qian looked at the Shi clan chief, who was peeking around beside him, with disgust. He felt like he was going to get depressed. It was bad enough to have one freeloader, but now another one had come. Couldn't people just have a proper meal?

“I’ve come to see Chief Machi.”

The orc chieftain, Da Shi, was still somewhat timid when facing Teng Qian, a powerful orc warrior.

"That's unfortunate, your clan leader just left."

No sooner had Teng Qian finished speaking than the excited shouts of the Maji chieftain echoed from the cave: "Is this food called corn cake? It's so delicious!"

The chieftain of the Great Stone Clan slightly raised his bearded face, his not-so-large eyes staring directly at Teng Qian: "."

I'll just watch you quietly; you'll figure it out for yourself.

Awkwardly, Teng Qian waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go, let's go, we're all in the cave."

He strode forward, muttering with obvious disdain, "A person who freeloads will never get to eat four dishes in their entire life!"
"This stuff must be really delicious!"

The chief of the Machi tribe held a cornbread in one hand and a crispy, fragrant slice of roasted meat in the other. He ate a bite of bread and a bite of meat, and occasionally sipped a bowl of soup to cleanse his palate. It was an absolutely wonderful experience.

"Now I know why those witches and orc warriors are willing to go to the super tribe, the food is just too delicious."

Wu Yue smiled and glanced at him: "This method of making food is unique to our tribe. Other tribes can't make food that tastes like this. If Chief Maji has the chance, he can visit our tribe."

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Maji waved his hand dismissively: "I'm not a shaman, how can I travel? Besides, I have a tribe behind me, so I can't go to very far places."

But the next moment, his eyes lit up: "Lord Wuyue, didn't you establish a tribe here? Can I come and eat your tribe's food often?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest generously and said, "Don't worry, you can have any animal hides or food you want. I'll trade you for other goods."

Wu Yue smiled and waved her hand: "This is not a matter of exchange. We will have to leave eventually. I also plan to take the people of the Snow Moon Tribe with me. We can't stay here forever."

Chief Maji sighed deeply, and suddenly the food in his hand didn't taste as good as before.

"It's such a pity that we won't be able to eat such delicious food again in the future."

The conversation about food didn't last long; the group, having eaten and drunk their fill, sat in the cave.

Chief Maji then revealed the purpose of his visit: "Our tribe does not need this quota, so I am willing to support the Snow Moon tribe, but I hope Lord Wuyue can help us obtain a quota for next year."

He stated his purpose very directly. Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a glance and at the same time developed a good impression of this straightforward Maji clan chief.

"I wonder how many orc warriors in the Maji tribe need to upgrade next year?"

Seeing that Wu Yue did not agree directly, but instead asked him this question, Chief Maji, though puzzled, still smiled wryly and said, "Naturally, it is me."

Wu Yue felt relieved, then said seriously, "We can support the Maji tribe next year and do our best to help you obtain a spot, but we hope you can give us the opportunity to exchange totem poles. Of course, our tribe will collect the items needed to exchange totem poles."

Maji frowned slightly upon hearing this. In fact, after becoming a gold-rank beastman, he also wanted to obtain a totem pole for his tribe.

Although he came here to fully support the Snow Moon Tribe in obtaining a spot, wasn't he also trying to get the Snow Moon Tribe's help in order to secure a spot in the competition later?

If it were the four major tribes of the past, he would naturally not have to worry. Even if it were a contest of the tribes' own strength, his Maji tribe would have a great chance of winning.

But things are different now. A sorcerer has appeared in the Uk tribe, a sorcerer who can kill people without them even realizing it.

The Uk tribe, possessing the Gu witchcraft, was simply beyond their ability to challenge.

Since Lord Wuyue was able to make such a request, he must know his intentions.

Maji smiled bitterly: "As you can see, as long as that shaman of the Uk tribe exists, our three tribes have no hope of winning."

Wu Yue nodded: "I didn't make that request to put you in a difficult position, but our tribe really needs a totem pole right now."

Seeing Maji's questioning gaze, Wu Yue quietly looked away and gazed at the sky outside, beginning to lie: "Our tribe's great shaman has gone on a journey. He said he would return in five years."

However, last year's beast tide destroyed our tribe's totem poles, which is why a few of us came out to find new ones.

Knowing the terrible consequences of an orc failing to upgrade, Maji nodded knowingly: "I see."

After a moment's thought, he said with certainty, "Lord Wuyue, I can give you the opportunity to exchange totem poles, but after your tribe's Great Shaman returns, could you please set up a totem pole for our tribe?"

As she spoke, she looked expectantly at Wu Yue, whose face was somewhat stiff.

Yuan Lang looked at the small, somewhat stiff female with amusement and said, "The Great Shaman is Yue's master, so she's a bit...

Maji nodded quickly: "Oh, I see. What about the totem pole?"

Lord Wuyue, I have no objection to your missing your master, but could you please wait until we've finished discussing this before continuing?

"Of course, if the Great Shaman returns, I will definitely have him set up a totem pole for your tribe."

Even if the High Priest doesn't return, I will lead my people to help you secure your spots again.

The title of "Great Shaman" is fabricated. Even if she were to set up totem poles, that would only happen on the day she becomes the Great Shaman.

However, cultivating witchcraft is very difficult, and she is not entirely confident that she can become a great witch within five years, so she still needs to leave herself some room for maneuver.

Maggie nodded happily: "Okay, it's settled then."

He wouldn't suffer any loss no matter what, and most importantly, his tribe wouldn't have any orcs who could upgrade to the gold rank for at least five years, so he wasn't in a hurry for the totem pole.

But what he was most proud of was being able to establish a connection with a powerful super tribe through this.

Chief Maji and Wuyue were discussing important tribal matters, while Chief Dashi, who was like a salty fish, would occasionally break off a piece of the sweet cornbread he had just gotten and stuff it into his mouth, chewing it with smacking sounds.

I must say, this tastes so good, I wouldn't trade it for a wild animal leg.

Of course, if it's a whole wild boar, then that's not necessarily the case.

"Moon, the chieftain of the Dongsang tribe has arrived."

Teng Qian, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, fuming because his food had been stolen, was eating a sweet cornbread when suddenly a group of very familiar figures appeared not far ahead.

It was the same Dongsang clan chief and the three people, Bulun and Yingfei, whom they had met at the gathering place earlier.

Seeing that Teng Qian's expression was not good, the three of them felt a little embarrassed, especially Bren, who knew why Teng Qian was giving them a hard time. He felt like he didn't know where to look and didn't dare to look up at Teng Qian.

"Chief Dongsang, please come in."

Wu Yue's indifferent voice echoed in the cave. Chief Dong Sang calmly stepped inside, while a flash of anger crossed Ying Fei's eyes.

Bren glanced up at Teng Qian's dark face, then quickly shrank back and followed.

The cave was still filled with the aroma of food, which made Chief Dongsang, who had just finished eating a piece of tender beast meat, drool uncontrollably.

"Lord Wuyue, how have I passed through this place?"

Chief Dongsang had only spoken halfway when he saw Chief Maji sitting to the side, poking his teeth with a small wooden stick.

"Why are you here?"

Chief Maji grinned, revealing a set of discolored teeth still covered in vegetable leaves, and gave Chief Dongsang a very charming look: "Of course I have something to discuss with Lord Wuyue. What brings you here? Are you here to see me?"

Chief Dongsang almost vomited up the piece of meat he had just eaten after being stared at by that one look. After a long period of mental preparation, he finally decided to ignore that fool Chief Maji.

He forced a smile again and looked at Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, who were sitting there with calm expressions: "Lord Wu Yue, I only just found out that Ying Fei stole your corn kernels without the permission of the Xueyue Tribe."

Food is very important to every tribe; I hope you can forgive him.

He stepped forward and placed the two packages in front of Wu Yue.

Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow and flicked his long, slender fingers, revealing a package containing corn kernels that Ying Fei had secretly stored from the Snow Moon Tribe.

The other package contained only precious herbs.

“These precious herbs are only found in our tribe’s territory. The shamans of those super-large tribes on the other side of the forest all love these herbs.”

Wu Yue glanced at him, her indifferent gaze then falling on Ying Fei behind him, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

A strange smile curved his lips: "That's all for this matter. Next time, the Dongsang tribe probably won't have any flying beastmen."

The words were laced with threat, but the smile on Chief Dongsang's face deepened: "Thank you, Lord Wuyue."

He then turned back and gave Yingfei a look. The orc's clenched fist suddenly loosened, and he stepped forward, saying, "Thank you, Lord Wuyue."

"Lord Wuyue, I heard from Bren that you want to secure a spot in this competition?"

Now that the conflict had been resolved, Wu Yue's indifference disappeared, replaced by a smile: "Yes, our tribe's orc warriors need to level up."

The Dongsang chieftain's eyes gleamed: "Our Dongsang tribe is willing to fully support the Xueyue tribe."

Wu Yue calmly nodded: "What do you want?"
