Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 540 Goosebumps That Have Nowhere to Go
"Teng Kun, give me the rest of the powder. I have a way to kill this Gu worm, but I need you to keep it occupied until I can do so."

Teng Kun didn't speak, but instead threw out a bamboo jar and then focused his attention on fighting the black Gu worm again.

"damn it."

He clearly detected the traces of the Gu worms, but when he slashed with his longsword, nothing came out.

Salty sweat trickled down his forehead, slid over his eyelids, and he swayed as he tried to catch a glimpse of the color in the orc's pupils.

Teng Qian dared not wipe the sweat from his eyelids, for fear that the Gu worms would seize the opportunity.

"Tengkun, come here to me."

Yingze's weak voice rang out from the left rear. Tengkun dodged the attack of the black lightning once again and rushed towards Yingze in a flash.

At this moment, Yingze had already taken off his upper body clothes, making his dark arms even more conspicuous.

Seeing Teng Kun escape, the black Gu worm let out a triumphant hiss and opened its mouthful of sharp teeth to bite at his back.

Teng Kun kept dodging, quickly approaching Ying Ze's direction.

Just as his darting figure crossed paths with Yingze, who was hiding behind the catapult, Yingze shouted in a low voice, "Come to the back!"

When Teng Kun changed direction, he responded by moving towards the direction of the Gu worms.

Teng Kun seemed to understand something in an instant, and his expression changed drastically: "Ying Ze!"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Teng Kun turned around to save Ying Ze, Ying Ze had already stretched out his arm, which had been bitten by the Gu worm, to meet him.

A horrifying wound was clearly visible across Teng Kun's still intact forearm, and a strong smell of blood wafted out. The Gu worms that had just been chasing after Teng Kun were immediately attracted by the fresh flesh and blood. After letting out a happy hiss, they opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and bit into the bleeding wound.

Yingze's face was deathly pale, but his eyes were filled with icy coldness.

Teng Kun looked at the Gu worm that was biting the wound and sucking blood, his face extremely ugly.

"Do you want to die?"

A strange smile appeared on Yingze's lips: "It's still uncertain who will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black Gu worm, which had grown to the size of an orc's forearm from devouring his flesh, let out an extremely painful hiss. Then its soft body stiffened and rolled straight off Yingze's arm.

The Gu worms, having consumed plenty of blood and flesh, were extremely plump, and when they landed on the ground, they even made a dull thud.

"My flesh and blood are not for nothing; you shall pay with your life."

After saying this, Yingze looked at Tengkun with a pale face, slowly raising his arm that had been sucked by the Gu worms twice. At this moment, the arm was almost covered with black, and the wriggling under the skin was still spreading towards the shoulder.

"Brother, help!"

Teng Kun knew that his face must look extremely ugly at that moment.

But he still raised the long sword in his hand: "Bear with it!"

The long sword was swung up, a cold light flashed, and accompanied by a painful growl, a dull thud as the sword fell to the ground.

Su from Tengkun Village stepped forward, took out the wound medicine that Wu Yue had prepared for them when she left, and tore off a piece of his cherished clothes to bandage Yingze.

Seeing his dark face and silent appearance, Yingze gritted his teeth and endured the pain, took several breaths, and then forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "With your face so dark, anyone who didn't know better would think that the Gu worm bit you just now."

Teng Kun paused, then said, "We have other methods."

"No."

Before he could finish speaking, Yingze interrupted him: "We have no other choice. Right now, the two of us are the strongest fighters in the tribe. I've already been bitten by the Gu worms. You must take good care of yourself. There are more than just the two of us in this tribe."

Teng Kun clenched his teeth tightly, causing the muscles on both sides of his face to tense up.

"But you don't have an arm."

He couldn't help but growl.

Without wings, the eagle-orcs cannot fly in the sky.

Yingze wanted to say something, but the pain from his severed arm and the agony of losing his wings made his lips feel as if they were weighed down by two huge mountains, and he couldn't lift them no matter what.

A somber atmosphere pervaded the city walls: "But I am still alive."

Teng Kun's breathing became slightly labored. Yes, he was still alive.
"How did it get like this?"

A clear voice rang out above the two men. The two orc warriors, who had just been so strong, were overjoyed when they heard the familiar voice, but then a faint sense of grievance arose in their hearts.

"Moon, you're finally back. Eagle's arm is broken."

"It's all that damned Niro witch's fault. They couldn't beat you, so they came to attack the tribe. They were driven away by our catapults, but then they released Gu worms to attack. Yingze was bitten by a Gu worm while trying to save me."

Teng Kun complained, his tone filled with resentment and guilt.

When Wu Yue and her two companions flew over the forest, they saw the people of the Wuke tribe. They thought that the Wuke tribe had not yet had time to attack the tribe, so they rode Tayun back first. However, they did not expect that the battle had already ended.

Wu Yue patted Ta Yun on the back, and the docile beast slowly landed.

She quickly walked up to Yingze, pulled a leather mat from Tayun's back and threw it on the ground: "Sit down, let me check you out."

Wu Yue's return put the two orc warriors at ease. As their tense nerves relaxed, the pain they had been enduring seemed to begin to rebound, starting to wash over Ying Ze's spirit in waves.

Seeing his pale face and trembling body, Wu Yue frowned and secretly contacted the system: "System, exchange a painkiller pill for me, the best kind, quick!"

Sensing her seriousness, the system didn't argue with her. It quickly exchanged for a round pill and placed it in her mobile medicine bottle: "Host, the pill is in the bottle. Taking it will immediately stop the pain. The effect is amazing."

Wu Yue took out a small porcelain bottle from the backpack on her waist and poured out a round, brown pill: "This is a painkiller. Take it."

Upon hearing that it was a medicine that could stop the pain, a look of urgency appeared on Yingze's sweaty face, and his intact arm trembled as he grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as I swallowed it, I felt a warm current spreading through my body, and the unbearable pain disappeared.

He looked down in disbelief at his still-bleeding wound and the blackened arm lying beside him, and he felt that he was in better spirits than before he was injured.

Wu Yue took a bamboo jar from Ta Yun's back and tilted it above Ying Ze's wound. A stream of water, faintly scented with herbs, flowed onto the wound. As the medicine washed over it, Teng Kun and Ying Ze were surprised to find that the bleeding from the previously uncontrollable wound was visibly slowing down. The bleeding finally stopped when the bamboo jar was almost empty. "How long has it been since the arm was cut off?"

Upon hearing this, Yingze and Tengkun's eyes lit up, and they replied in unison, "You came back shortly after the wound was bandaged."

As Wu Yue spoke, she deftly sprinkled medicine powder, bandaged the wound, and even tied a bow in a childlike manner.

Yingze, whose wound didn't hurt, glanced at the bow and gave Tengkun a look of utter disdain.

Teng Kun rolled his eyes in annoyance. Does it look good for a male to bandage his wounds with a bow or something? Haha!
Wu Yue looked at the arm at her feet, which had turned completely black, and was about to discuss treatment methods with Tongzi when a familiar mechanical voice rang out.

"Ding! Mission issued: Gain Yingze's loyalty."

Mission Reward: 1000 points
500 cultivation experience points
"Please don't be careless, host! A generous reward awaits you!"

Cultivation experience?

After a moment of bewilderment, Wu Yue was overjoyed. The rewards from the system's missions had never included something as high-level as "cultivation astonishment".

Want to upgrade?

Sure, go ahead and meditate and practice to gain experience!

"Damn system, this mission is awesome!"

The system proudly put its hands on its hips, and suddenly the three scratches on its face didn't hurt so much anymore: "You dog host, you really have to thank this system for this. I managed to snag such a good mission with great difficulty!"

A smug pose with hands on hips~
Wu Yue mentally gave him a thumbs up: "Once this mission is completed, I'll give you 100 pocket points."

The little chubby hands that were on his hips instantly straightened up, and his face was full of excitement and longing: "Thank you for your recognition of the work of this system. I will definitely be more dedicated and responsible in the future, and wholeheartedly provide you with better and higher quality services."

Seeing that this guy was acting silly again, Wu Yue sighed and rubbed her forehead: "Stop talking nonsense for now. The first step to winning Ying Ze's loyalty is to help me figure out how to get this thing out of his arm."

I hadn't noticed it from a distance, but as I got closer, I could see that something was wriggling inside that dark arm, and every now and then, tiny fleshy sprouts would emerge from the severed area.

Just as she was about to bend down for a closer look, the budding flesh seemed to sense her presence and suddenly stretched out considerably. A layer of white sweat instantly appeared on Wu Yue's back, and she quickly stood up and backed away.

The bud that had just emerged seemed to have reached its limit. After protruding about the length of Yingze's arm, it reluctantly swayed and burrowed back inside.

Seeing her retreat, two orc warriors quickly approached: "Moon (Witch Moon), what's wrong?"

Wu Yue pointed stiffly at the severed arm on the ground: "The worms wriggling inside that arm are Gu worms that just hatched from Ying Ze's flesh and blood."

"You mean that black line that was as long as my arm?"

Yingze also looked incredulous.

Wu Yue nodded, but took a few steps back again. She was not afraid of rats or snakes, but she had an instinctive aversion and repulsion to these soft-bodied insects that were like cricket pupae.

He took a small bamboo jar from his backpack and handed it to Teng Kun: "Brother, this is for you. This is the kind of powder I gave you before. Just sprinkle it on Ying Ze's arm."

Although he didn't know why Yue looked so stiff, Teng Kun said that killing insects was no problem for him. He took the powder and went over.

The newly hatched Gu worms in his arm seemed to sense Teng Kun's presence, and they all poked their heads out and peered in his direction. However, they had no heads and looked like elongated black earthworms.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yue took several steps back and hid her body behind the catapult before she felt safer.

"Host, as a powerful sorcerer, don't you look a bit too cowardly?"

The system within the system space, seeing its host's cowardly appearance, covered its chubby face, unable to bear the sight. It was truly unbearable to look at.

"So what if I'm a coward? Anyway, the hair on my body stands on end when I see that thing, and no matter how many times you yell 'Sit down,' it won't help."

Watching the thin, black worms, barely thicker than a hair, constantly emerging from the severed arm due to the drug's stimulation, Wu Yue's goosebumps rose in waves.

The emerging insects seemed to be very sensitive to sunlight. Under the scorching sun, they curled up into black coils. Su Zi's body gradually stiffened and shriveled, and then she remained motionless.

"Moon, all these larvae are dead."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue peeked out from behind the catapult for a while longer: "Check carefully again. If you miss one, I'll make you eat it!"

Teng Kun, who was about to say that they were all dead, heard this and his cheeks twitched violently. He then checked carefully again and said, "This time I'm sure, they're really gone."

As he spoke, he kicked the surrounding larval corpses to other places.

Wu Yue nodded but did not go over: "You take Ying Ze and the severed arm with me to the cave. There is still poison from the Gu worms on this severed arm, which must be removed."

After saying that, she no longer wanted to stay on the city wall full of insect corpses, climbed onto Ta Yun's back and left as quickly as possible.

Teng Kun's lips twitched speechlessly. He had no choice but to pick up the severed arm and carry Ying Ze into the cave.

The events that occurred on the city wall went unnoticed by the tribespeople, but the two men, disheveled and exhausted, were spotted by the males of the tribe.

In particular, Yingze was covered in blood and had lost an arm.

"Lord Yingze, what happened to your arm?"

"Lord Tengkun, was there another battle taking place on the city wall just now?"

The males were filled with shame and self-blame. It was all their fault. The battle was so fierce that even the orc lord lost an arm, and they hadn't heard a single sound.

Teng Kun waved his hand: "The reason there was no battle is that we missed a powerful Gu worm. Fortunately, none of you were here, otherwise none of you would have survived."

Alright, the shaman is back and needs to treat Yingze. You gathering teams will take turns patrolling the area. If anything happens, come find us at the cave.

After leaving a message, Teng Kun didn't linger any longer and quickened his pace towards the cave, leaving behind a group of ecstatic males.

"Lord Tengkun just said that Lord Wuyue has returned!"

Excited whispers rang out from the crowd. People looked at each other, and could see the ease and determination in each other's eyes.

Lord Wuyue is back, and they are no longer afraid of anyone.
