Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 648 Sneaking into the Cave
Opportunity always favors the prepared. Wu Yue spent her time either cultivating in her tent or wandering around the entire trade fair grounds with the pretty boy. Time quickly passed, and the day arrived when the various super tribes gathered to discuss the rules.

The wandering magical energy around the tent seemed to be attracted by something as the person inside cultivated, and surged into the tent in waves.

Wu Yue’s mouth and nose were pulsating with vibrant, azure magical energy.

Suddenly, her delicate pink ear tips twitched slightly, and the magical energy that had been circulating around her instantly scattered. Her previously closed eyes also opened.

"Tsk, looks like it's time."

A soft murmur echoed in the tent. She got up, straightened her clothes, and lifted the curtain to look out into the front of the tent.

The pale-faced orc from the Eel Tribe was striding happily toward the tent.

Seeing the strong figure emerge from the animal-hide tent, the pale-faced orc grinned, flashed his white teeth, quickened his pace, and arrived at the tent entrance in a few swift movements.

"Leave now?"

A melodious female voice rang in his ears, and the pale-faced orc looked at Wu Yue, who was speaking, with an uncontrollable gloating smile on his fair and handsome face.

“They’re gone, they’re gone. I saw with my own eyes the Sea Serpent Shaman and my father and the others enter the council cave together.”

Wu Yue nodded and started walking outside: "Then let's go now."

The pale-faced orc waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, I've attended every trade fair, so I know the details of this meeting best. They won't come out for at least half a day."

Those old men were all quite old, and they talked a lot, often being very long-winded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the little female in front of him did not stop walking. He clicked his tongue and took a step to chase after her.

Sensing the approaching orc's aura, Wu Yue glanced sideways at the nonchalant orc beside her: "Don't forget what we agreed on before, don't forget me."

The pale-faced orc was taken aback. Although he didn't know what "leaked" meant, he had heard the first half of Wu Yue's sentence and naturally understood her meaning. He quickly nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, you take care of stealing, and I'll take care of cleaning up. We'll definitely not let those long worms from the Sea Serpent Tribe catch us."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Wu Yue nodded: "Let's go."

The pretty-boy orc, under the guise of pursuing females, took Wu Yue around to various trading stalls, generously exchanging many items. After receiving a lot of stares as a spendthrift, he then followed Wu Yue around and escorted her back.

After gesturing for him to put the items he had acquired in the tent, Wu Yue raised her chin and said, "Take good care of what I gave you. Come find me as before when you receive any news."

The pale-faced orc excitedly touched the sorcery talisman in his clothes, his eyes sparkling as he nodded: "Don't worry."

Watching the pretty boy orc leave, Wu Yue chuckled twice, took out an invisibility talisman she had exchanged for with items generously donated by the pretty boy orc, summoned Ta Yun, and slipped out while the guards were roasting meat.

The animal skin curtain was quickly lifted and lowered, and the orcs who were roasting meat continued to do so as if it were normal. The young female witch was doing something in the tent, and she kept lifting the animal skin curtain from time to time.

He had worried about the shaman's safety the previous times and rushed in without permission, only to find that the shaman was just practicing a very strange movement and seemed very unhappy when he barged in. After that, he never went in again.

Riding on Ta Yun's back, Wu Yue deliberately chose to traverse more open areas, and soon arrived at the place where the Sea Serpent Tribe stored snow salt, which the pretty-faced orc had previously scouted out. However, the situation before her made her frown involuntarily. The number of guards in front of the cave was clearly several times greater than before, and they even took turns eating.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Sea Serpent Tribe had found out about her and the pretty boy's plan?
"Brother, the prey should be killed fresh and piping hot to taste good. It's tender and has the sweet and pungent taste of blood. Once it's cooked, it loses its flavor."

A sea serpent tribe orc warrior sitting by the fire looked at his kinsmen opposite him. He was chewing a piece of raw meat that was still steaming hot. The rich taste of blood spread in his mouth, and he unconsciously squinted his not-so-large eyes in enjoyment.

"Humph."

The orc sitting opposite him gave him a disgusted look at his filthy appearance, but continued to slowly roast the piece of meat in his hand: "You are really disgusting."

After exchanging complaints, the two changed the subject and started talking about other things.

"If you ask me, the chieftain is overthinking things. He insists on having our two teams guard this place. Does anyone dare to steal the salt from the powerful Sea Serpent Tribe?"

As he spoke, crimson blood trickled down his lips and onto his chin. The orc casually wiped it away and continued eating with relish.

Wu Yue, who was hiding to the side, felt terrible. She felt that the air around her was thick and filled with the smell of blood.

The orc, who was leisurely roasting meat, lifted his eyelids and said, "We just need to follow the chieftain's orders. Why ask so many questions?"

"Tch, I'd rather spend this time lying in the tent sleeping with the little females."

The orc who was grilling meat glanced up between his thick legs and gave a meaningful look: "Heh."

Seeing that the conversation between the two was gradually becoming more interesting, Wu Yue looked up at the sky speechlessly. It seems that topics between men are always relevant.

The orc slowly turned the roasted meat in his hand: "Alright, time's up. Hurry up and exchange your meat before you go and rest."

Upon hearing this, the orc, who was gnawing on raw meat, stuffed the last of his food into his mouth, shook the blood off his hands, and walked toward his tribesmen guarding both sides of the cave.

"Let's go, let's go eat and rest."

Upon hearing this, the guarding orcs stretched their bodies excitedly and walked towards the place where the food was placed.

At this moment, the group of orc warriors who had just sat behind the orc roasting meat quickly stuffed the food in their hands into their mouths and hurriedly got up and walked towards the cave where the salt was stored.

The orc who was grilling meat frowned as he watched another group of orc warriors eagerly devouring the food, but he didn't say anything. He only told his own squad of orc warriors to keep a close watch before leisurely going back to grilling meat.

Inside the cave, Wu Yue slowly exhaled. She had slipped in while the guards were away, and those few seconds had kept her on edge, afraid that her presence and the disturbances she caused upon entering the cave would be noticed.

As Ta Yun slowly flew deeper into the cave, Wu Yue's heart, which had been pounding in her throat, gradually calmed down.
