Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 556 Sinking into Darkness
When the Uk chieftain saw the old male's hands gathering witch power, his pupils contracted. Remembering the resentment he still harbored towards the old male, he broke out in a cold sweat.

This person was actually a wizard, a wizard only found in super tribes, a being even more powerful than their own Niro wizard.

With this person present, Niro Witch's injury will definitely be fine.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The tribal competition was not far off. If Niro Witch had a problem at this time, his hope of breaking through to become a gold-rank beastman would be almost gone.

"Ok?"

Just as Chief Uk was fantasizing about receiving the Great Shaman's blessing and becoming a powerful Gold-Rank Beastman to unify the entire Linhebian tribe, the old shaman beside him suddenly spoke up in confusion.

Uk's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly composed himself to follow the old wizard's gaze, only to find that the wound that had just been slowly healing due to the wizard's power was now beginning to fester and spread again.

And it's rotting much faster than before.

The old wizard, his face grave, continued to channel his magical power, his heart heavy with worry. He had never seen such an injury before, and he had no idea who had injured the witch, Niro.

As the treatment dragged on, even the old wizard, with his powerful magical abilities, began to break out in a fine sweat.

While unconscious, Niro seemed to be tightly gripped by a pair of large hands made of iron, constantly being pulled into the depths of darkness.

Her intuition told her that if she were really dragged into the darkness by that giant hand, she would really die and would not be able to come back to life in another world like she had this time.

But under the control of the large hand, all her struggles seemed futile. The deep darkness gradually engulfed her body, and even the last vestige of her consciousness was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
She...is really going to die.
"No! Back away!"

Suddenly, the old wizard shouted, and a black figure darted out of the darkness of the cave, picked up the old wizard, and fled outside in a few flashes.

Just a few breaths later, Chief Uk stood beside the two, his face pale.

Thinking of the scene he had just witnessed before leaving the cave, he felt as if he were about to vomit up everything he had eaten that day.

"My lord wizard, what was that just now?"

Thinking of the Niro witch who quickly rotted into a pool of foul-smelling black water, Chief Uk felt a chill run down his spine.

Who could be so vicious as to kill the witch Niro in such a cruel way?

Of the three, the old wizard looked the worst. The thought that a wizard had died while he was maintaining order made him unsure how those old guys would laugh at him when he got back, and his old face turned ashen.

"Who did this?! How awful!"

He gave the Uk chieftain a cold look and said, "We'll be staying in your Uk tribe for the time being. Don't let anyone into this cave again, or I won't be able to save you."

Chief Uk was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately put aside his regret at losing a shaman. He then led the medicine shaman and the orc warrior beside him toward the cave where the shaman Niro had been.

The medicine shaman looked at his tribesmen in the cave with a gloomy expression.

"A shaman died in the Uk tribe today, so the rewards we receive when we return will be much less. You were all assigned to keep an eye on various tribes before, has anything different happened?"

The orcs exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison: "Nothing different has happened. Every day is just hunting, gathering, eating, and sleeping."

The medicine wizard slightly raised his drooping eyebrows and glanced at Aman and the three orc warriors beside him: "You guys keep an eye on the Snow Moon Tribe. Has Wuyue or the orc warriors beside her not left the tribe?"

Upon hearing this, several orcs looked at Aman, who was sitting on a leather cushion, but he remained silent with his eyes lowered. One orc warrior scratched his head and said, "Master Wizard, Wuyue of the Snow Moon Tribe and several orc warriors are all staying safely in the tribe and have not left the tribe's territory."

"Not them?"

The medicine wizard frowned and murmured.

For some reason, the first person he suspected after Niro's death was Wuyue of the Snow Moon tribe.

"You saw them with your own eyes?"

The orc nodded with certainty: "Yes, I saw her. Wuyue was with two cubs, teaching them about herbs and forest food. The tall orc warrior was always guarding her, and the other orc warriors took turns leading the males out hunting. I saw her every day."

“My lord wizard, perhaps this Niro witch has also offended other powerful wizards or orc warriors.”

Ah Man, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

The medicine wizard gave him a deep look and said, "Yes, you keep an eye on things. Now you can leave."

Unlike the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the Uk tribe and the medicine shaman's group, Wu Yue, who had escaped the Uk tribe and returned to the tree where she had previously lived, was in high spirits and wanted to laugh wildly.

"System, how was it? Wasn't my assassination ability top-notch?"

At this moment, Wu Yue had already deactivated the transformation ability of the talisman, and the smugness on her little face was not concealed at all.

The system space's emulator jumped up and down excitedly: "Host, Ni Luo, this major threat, has finally been eliminated! Wahahaha!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Tongzi waved her little hand to open the system points panel. Looking at the few points that could be counted on one finger, her heart sank.

"Dog host, you really have guts. You exchanged such an expensive poison just to kill Niro."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Killing Ni Luo will only result in the loss of some points. If we don't kill her, we'll lose our lives. That woman won't show us any mercy."

Having said that, he patted the non-existent dust off his palms with a contented smile, summoned Cloudwalker in a good mood, and leisurely flew towards the Snow Moon Tribe.

In the central cave of the Snow Moon Tribe, Yuan Lang held a ferocious beast crystal core in his hand, absorbing its violent energy.

The violent energy of the crystal core continuously assaulted the orc's body. Although the orc's forehead was covered in fine sweat, his body remained motionless.

"Tsk, Boss is going too far. His physical strength has just increased to the point where he can absorb crystal cores again, and he doesn't even bother to consolidate it before starting to absorb them."

Looking at his boss, Teng Kun felt pain starting to appear in his body.

Teng Qian rubbed his arms, suppressing the bristling hairs, and stiffly forced a smile: "I don't want to go through that kind of pain again. Damn, it's much more painful than being slashed seventeen or eighteen times on the battlefield."

"Bah!"

With a soft sound, Yuan Lang finally absorbed all the energy from the crystal core in his hand. The crystal core, which had been so violent just moments before, instantly turned into a pile of fine powder, which scattered on the ground as the orc tilted his hand.
