Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 535 Danger from the Uk Tribe

Since Wu Yue and the others left, the people of the Snow Moon Tribe have begun their monotonous yet joyful lives.

The tedious part is that with Lord Wuyue gone, no one can tell whether the fruits and wild vegetables they brought back to the tribe are edible or not. They can only be left to dryly sit in the cave, waiting for their own shaman to claim them.

The good news is that, with the help of the wanderers, all the corn kernels around were finally harvested, and they even got enough corn kernels to fill an entire cave.

Lord Wuyue once said that dried corn kernels can be stored for a very long time if they are preserved properly.

"Ada, you always take this route when you go hunting, doesn't your foot hurt?"

The female, who was rubbing the animal hide, looked at the familiar figure and chuckled and cursed in an annoyed tone.

The male who was called out chuckled, his already plump cheeks no longer looking so intimidating, but rather carrying a hint of憨厚 (honesty/simple-mindedness): "Hehe, I just wanted to see more of our food!"

Although he was talking to the female, his bright little eyes kept glancing at the cave piled high with corn kernels: "Hehe, with so much food, how long will it take us to eat!"

"Haha, look at his silly face!"

The females, who were kneading the animal hides, burst into laughter.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, a dozen or so males carrying wooden spears walked over from the other side of the tribal settlement.

"Look, a few more have come."

"Ever since Lord Wuyue discovered these corn kernels, these guys have been coming to look at them every day. I'm worried that their eyes will make the corn kernels disappear!"

"Hahaha!"

"Where can I see it? It's not there!"

The current Snow Moon Tribe is composed of several small tribes gathered together. In the past, they had difficulty even getting enough to eat, let alone storing food.

Although they had acquired so much food through their own efforts, they were still unable to calm down their excitement. As a result, many tribesmen would stop by the cave where the corn was stored before going out to work each day, chuckle to themselves, and then leave.

"We must have received the protection of the Beast God to become Lord Wuyue's people."

"There are still a few orc warriors."

"I never knew before that you were actually quite good-looking, only slightly less so than me."

"Pah! I used to be all bones because I couldn't get enough food. Besides, I'm definitely better looking than you now. Didn't you see how many of those females were looking at me?"

The two males, arms around each other's shoulders, boasted and eventually even started arguing about their own appearances, leaving the females both amused and exasperated.

An older female, annoyed, picked up a clod of dirt and threw it at them: "Why aren't you hunting? What are you bragging about? With your faces, if you didn't look closely, you'd be mistaken for monkeys that have escaped from the forest!"

Upon hearing this, all the females burst into laughter.

Despite being mocked by the females, one male remained unperturbed, still smiling and walking arm in arm toward the open space of the tribe.

"Let's go hunting!"

"They say I look like a monkey, so I'll catch one and bring it back to you later."

"Forget it, monkey meat doesn't taste good. I still want to eat bighorn beef."

Teng Kun swallowed the last bite of cornbread, stretched, stood up, and looked at Ying Fei, who was still slurping meat soup, saying, "Let's go."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the cave. "Be careful lately. The gathering is over. When I went out to patrol a few days ago, I found many signs of tribal activity."

Tengkun turned his head: "Have you seen the Uk tribe?"

Yingze nodded solemnly: "I saw her, and according to some of the males who went to relieve themselves, it seems that Lord Wuyue also robbed them of their belongings."

Teng Kun's eyes lit up: "It seems like this gathering is going to be very exciting. It's a real shame I couldn't attend."

Yingze glanced at him sideways: "Don't worry, if Lord Wuyue doesn't return in the next few days, what awaits us will be even more exciting."

Teng Qian's expression tightened: "What do you mean?"

As he slurped down the last mouthful of broth, a hint of worry crept into Yingze's eyes: "The Uk tribe has lost so many items from Lord Wuyue and the others, and that Niro witch harbors such deep hatred for us. If they find out that Lord Wuyue hasn't returned yet, they will definitely come to attack our tribe. Then it will just be the two of us."

He pointed his long, slender index finger at himself, then at Teng Kun: "What do you think will happen?"

"Today I'll bring back more prey with them. The Uk tribe is back, and Yue and the others shouldn't be here for long. Let's hurry up and build the last of the city walls. Even if the Niro witch comes, we can hold them off for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yingze nodded solemnly: "Okay."

The Snow Moon tribe members noticed that even with so much food stored up, the two orc warriors were still leading them in a vigorous hunt, and even the speed at which they built the earthen wall around their camp had increased.

"Is Lord Wuyue about to return? Why are you bringing back so many wild beasts every day?"

"I don't know. The uncle next door said that the construction of the mud wall has sped up a lot these past few days, and a lot of the mud bricks that were originally intended to be used to build the house have been moved away."

"The two orc warriors must want to finish building the earthen wall before Lord Witch Moon returns, so we need to work hard too."

"Roar!"

"cracking!"

As the roar of a tiger and the cry of an eagle rang out, the tribespeople in the Snow Moon tribe, who were still busy with their own tasks, all stopped in their tracks. They suddenly remembered the instructions given to them by the two orc warriors in the past few days.

The team leaders led their members toward the city gates, shouting as they ran, "Close the city gates!"

The males in the gathering team had already received instructions from their captain. The moment they heard the order, they used all the strength they had accumulated from the abundance of food during this period to close all the city gates before the other tribesmen could react.

"Get on the city wall!"

Due to time constraints, the city walls they built were not very long, and they only surrounded the settlements that their people had cleared out, without expanding outwards. However, for pure-blooded males, such a height was beyond their ability to climb.

The Uk tribesmen, who had been shouting and charging out of the forest, were stunned when they saw the earthen wall in front of them, which was much taller than themselves.

"What is this?"

"Is it a ferocious beast raised by the Snow Moon tribe?"

"This is too big!"

"Where are the chieftain and the shaman? Let's go quickly and tell them that there's a ferocious beast in the Snow Moon tribe."

The Snow Moon tribe members on the city wall cheered as the group of unfamiliar tribesmen wielding wooden spears retreated.
