Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 684 The Sudden Appearance of an Orc Team

After a long silence, Tongzi's voice carried a hint of uncertainty: "It shouldn't be like that, right? What you're talking about, host, is a fantasy world of cultivation. We're just a primitive world with nothing to our names. Where would we get such advanced settings?"

"My lord wizard, look at those few plants sprouting from that bush over there. Are they the kind of herbs you need?"

Suddenly, the orc warrior at the front stopped and said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Wu Yue's conversation with Tongzi was interrupted. Following the direction the orc pointed, she saw a plant resembling agrimony sprouts at the edge of a lush thicket ahead.

Judging from its appearance alone, apart from being a bit larger and a darker color than the one in the picture Tongzi showed her, there is no other difference.

As for the shapes and colors, Wu Yue said that she was already used to the enlarged versions of wild beasts and plants in the Beast World.

"Tongzi, scan and see if that plant in front is a crane grass sprout."

"Beep! Scanning in progress, please wait."

A mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

A few breaths later, the mechanical voice sounded in his mind again: "Scan complete. The current plant has been confirmed as Agrimonia pilosa sprout. Due to special influences, its size and medicinal properties have been enhanced. Please use it as needed."

Wu Yue was delighted; it was indeed an enhanced version of Agrimonia pilosa sprouts.

In this way, as long as it is made into powder, there will be no need to fear parasites in the future.

She looked up at the orc warriors at the front: "That's the herb I'm looking for, but it's quite precious. The Great Shaman said that precious herbs are guarded by powerful wild beasts, so you have to be careful when you collect them."

Moreover, when harvesting, be sure to dig out the roots and rhizomes as well.

They searched for almost a whole day before finding these few tiny plants, which shows that this herb is not very common.

"Tongzi, after the beastmen bring back the harvest, store it in the system space first. When we return to our territory, try planting some yourself."

The system's little face was solemn: "Don't worry, host, you can use the system space for free."

Two orc warriors were left behind to protect Wu Yue, while the orc leader led the remaining orc warriors cautiously toward the bushes where crane grass sprouts were growing.

The high-ranking orc warriors had exceptionally keen senses. As they approached the bushes where the crane grass sprouts grew, the orc leader suddenly smelled a faint, almost imperceptible, fishy stench wafting over.

His muscles tensed suddenly: "Be careful, there's poison nearby."

The orc warriors behind him instantly became alert, and the power of the Beast God surged within them.

"His!"

A sharp hiss came from above their heads, and the familiar stench instantly intensified.

The orc warriors, who were already prepared for battle, gathered their strength in their legs and instantly leaped out of the poisonous beast's attack range.

A dull thud echoed as the group turned around and gasped in shock: "What a huge venomous snake!"

What appeared where the group had just stood was a giant purplish-black python as thick as an orc's waist. Its triangular head and the sharp fangs it revealed when it hissed indicated its formidable fighting power and potent venom.

Snake saliva dripped onto the grass leaves, instantly turning them black and emitting an extremely pungent and unpleasant odor.

"Captain, this big guy is not easy to deal with."

The tribesman's words made the leader of the orcs' expressions more serious: "We should retreat first. This venomous snake should be the guardian beast the wizard mentioned. Its venom is so strong, we need to prepare some antidotes in advance."

Wu Yue and her companions, who were waiting nearby, also saw the venomous snake emerge from the dense canopy. Relieved to see that their leader, an orc, didn't confront it directly, they breathed a sigh of relief. The snake, seemingly aware that their target was the agrimony sprouts it was guarding, didn't return to its previous hiding place in the canopy. Instead, it coiled itself around the sprouts, protecting them.

At this moment, the orc leader also led his people back to Wu Yue and the others.

"My lord wizard, that snake has a very foul and pungent odor, and its venom is very potent. I will take them to gather some herbs first, and then I will go to gather the Agrimony sprouts for you."

When the venomous snake appeared, Wu Yue learned from Tongzi how formidable it was; it was arguably the most potent venomous beast they had ever encountered.

"Roar!"

"Hiss!"

As the group was talking, a deafening, domineering tiger roar suddenly came from the direction of the venomous snake. The venomous snake, which had been proudly guarding the budding crane grass, now hissed with a hint of fear.

"They're orcs!"

Orc warriors are very sensitive to the scent of their own kind. Just as Wu Yue was thinking of having Tongzi check, the orc leader and his companions had already sensed the other's identity through their scent.

Perhaps it was because the opposing orcs were too powerful, but Wu Yue felt her heart flutter slightly: "Commander, how strong are they? Should we slip away now?"

Tongzi remained silent for a moment with a strange expression: "Their combat strength is quite strong. These people around you definitely can't beat them, but I don't see any hostility from them, and their target seems to be the Crassula sprouts as well."

As Wu Yue sighed, her brows furrowed: "There are only a few Agrimony sprouts here. It wouldn't be good if they took them all."

Upon hearing this, the orc leader nodded: "So we should also go and help deal with that poisonous snake, and we can ask for a share of the herbs."

Wu Yue nodded and gritted her teeth as she exchanged a few universal antidote pills from Tongzi.

"You can go without worry. I still have a few antidotes given to me by the great shaman."

The orc leader's eyes lit up, and without further ado, he dashed toward the battlefield.

With the threat of death gone, the orcs were filled with fighting spirit.

"Hiss!!!"

However, a high-pitched, piercing scream froze the fighting spirit on their faces.

They exchanged a glance, the orc leader's expression stiffening: "So they've already killed the venomous snake?"

Thinking of the wizard's instructions, the expressions on their faces stiffened for a moment.

"Who?"

A deep male voice sounded from ahead, and the orc leader pushed aside the drooping tree branches that were obstructing his view and slowly walked over.

"We are orc warriors from the Kuma tribe. We have come to collect this herb called Agrimony Sprout to protect the tribe's shaman."

Sunlight filtered through the tree canopy, dappling the smooth, long hair of the orc leader opposite them. Mixed with the dark red blood still dripping from his sharp points, it created a strangely beautiful sight that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Kuma tribe?"

The tall, aloof orc finally turned around slowly, his dark, deep eyes suddenly darkening, and the tight curve of his lips deepening: "You've returned from the trade fair?"
