Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 567 The Old Woman with Tree Bark

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue frowned instantly: "Although I have received the gifts from the Great Witches, I have no way to ask them for anything."

The healing wizard nodded: "If I have a request, I will naturally offer very precious items, but I cannot see the great wizards of China, so I need you, Wu Yue, to put in a good word for me."

Wu Yue looked at the wizard in front of her, who was not young. This wizard was exchanging something she couldn't see for something very practical. It was clear that, at present, the healing wizard was at a disadvantage.

Seeing her hesitate, the healing wizard smiled and said, "You can think about this. Once you've made up your mind, I'll send an orc warrior over in a few days. Just tell him your decision. If you agree, I'll bring this year's totem pole, and we'll swear an oath to the Beast God together."

Wu Yue had already agreed to the proposal in her heart, but since it concerned the Huaxia tribe she had fabricated, she naturally couldn't agree so easily.

She nodded solemnly: "This matter concerns the Huaxia tribe. Please allow me a few days to consider it before giving you an answer."

The healing wizard nodded. The totem pole was of little use to him; at most, it could be used to exchange for some items, but he had many other ways to exchange those items.

Therefore, he believes it is worthwhile to exchange something useless to him for a relationship that is of great benefit to him.

After the healing wizard left, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang sat in the living room of their house and discussed the matter.

Unlike Wu Yue, Yuan Lang did not quite agree with the conditions proposed by the healing wizard.

He looked at the little female sitting opposite him, his deep eyes filled with worry: "Moon, I don't agree with you agreeing to the healing wizard's conditions. You have to pay a price for exchanging items with the Beast God. The potion that healed Eagle Swamp's arm was very expensive, not to mention that the healing wizard said it was a matter of life and death."

What price will you have to pay in exchange then?

Wu Yue smiled and grasped the orc's large hand: "I'm not stupid. The other conditions are fine, but it concerns his life. I can only say that I will do my best. If the conditions he proposes are beyond my ability, I will naturally not sacrifice myself to help him. I will make this clear to him in advance and when I swear, so as not to leave any trouble for myself."

Looking at her smiling face, Yuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fixed on her clear eyes: "Really, it won't cause you any harm?"

Wu Yue nodded solemnly: "Definitely not. I'm just exchanging items with the Beast God. It won't harm me at all. You can trust me."

Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Yuan Lang nodded, even though he was still a little worried: "Okay, I will collect more precious items to bring back for you."

Wu Yue nodded happily: "If I collect more herbs or precious items from the forest to exchange for points, I can do more things myself."

A few days later, a gold-rank orc warrior indeed arrived at the Snow Moon Tribe's encampment. Wu Yue told him about her decision and the conditions she had previously discussed with Yuan Lang. The orc carefully noted them down and then returned with the food Wu Yue had given him.

In the territory of the Kuma tribe, within the domain of the healing shaman, the healing shaman was entertaining three acquaintances in his stone house—the very shamans who had previously accompanied him to the polar forest.

The old witch was particularly striking, as she appeared far too aged compared to the other witches.

"I heard that little brat from the Snow Tiger Tribe, what's his name, Wuyue, is in the forest across the river?"

A rough, hoarse voice echoed in the house; it was the old sorcerer who was speaking.

The healing wizard glanced at her, his brows furrowing slightly: "What happened before has nothing to do with Wu Yue. Don't involve her in your affairs with the Great Witch of China. I still need her for something." The sorcerer's withered face twitched a few times, and he sneered: "How dare I do anything to her? She has already left her name with the Great Witch."

Seeing her strange and sarcastic demeanor, the two wizards beside her could only shake their heads helplessly.

The strength of a Gu witch is closely related to the Gu worms she raises. In particular, the more powerful the Gu worm, the more spiritual power the Gu witch contains. When a Gu witch's Gu worms are killed one after another by a Chinese witch, the loss of spiritual power is not insignificant.

Although the high shaman treated her after she returned to the tribe, restoring her damaged mental strength, the extent of her physical aging could not be reversed.

She used to look like a somewhat gloomy middle-aged female, but now she looks like an old woman who is about to meet the Beast God.

Therefore, the Gu witch is very concerned about news and people related to the Huaxia tribe. Even though she is not strong enough to do anything to a great witch, she seems unwilling to let go of any opportunity to take revenge.

"The four of us have been cooperating for hundreds of years. We survived the previous battles, and we will continue to cooperate in the future battles. I don't want any of you to die because of anything you do."

The healing wizard held considerable prestige within his team. When he spoke with a stern face, the other three wizards nodded solemnly. Even the resentful Gu witch nodded with a blank expression, indicating that she would not do anything rashly.

Just then, a weary orc warrior's voice came from outside the house: "My lord wizard, I'm back."

The healing wizard's stern face suddenly lit up with joy, and he loudly called for the orcs to come in.

The exhausted orc warrior strode in. He could sense the presence of the other three wizards in the house, but he dared not look at them casually.

He went straight to the middle of the house, bowed to the wizards, and then respectfully said, "Wizards, Wu Yue has agreed to your previous proposal, and she also asked me to bring a condition."

Then he told the healing wizard about the conditions Wu Yue had proposed.

The healing wizard nodded: "Did Wuyue say anything else?"

The orc nodded: "Witch Moon said that if you agree, you can take the first totem pole over there; if you don't agree, you don't need to send any more orc warriors over there. She already knows your answer."

The healing wizard nodded and waved for him to leave: "Go and have some food and rest."

The orc bowed and retreated.

At this moment, the other three shamans looked at him with suspicion, and the Gu shaman's face was even more unsightly: "Although I don't cause trouble for that Wu Yue from the Snow Tiger tribe, I don't like her very much either. You actually want to give her a totem pole?"

The healing wizard glanced at her indifferently, inwardly scoffing.

That wretched old woman's face is so wrinkled it looks like old tree bark, yet she still meddles in her own tribe's affairs. Seeing her makes even the food taste unappetizing.
