Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 695 The Problem of Speed
"Brothers, let's go!"

With a loud whistle, several orcs shouted and pulled up the anchor that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

The group standing on the deck felt a slight rocking of the ship, and then the forests on both banks began to recede.

The tall, muscular orc warriors, like little children seeing the world for the first time, clung to the railings around the boat, curiously looking out at the river.

"It actually moved."

The little curly-haired orc muttered with wide eyes.

"We can move, but we're too slow. At this rate, when will we be able to get back to the tribe?"

A hobbit warrior from the sea eel tribe scratched his head sheepishly.

Although he envied the Snow Moon tribe for having such powerful ships that could move on water, speed was also very important in battle.

"Hey! Hey!"

Just as the group of orc warriors from the Eel Tribe were hesitating about whether to discuss with Wu Yue a faster way to reach the White Sand Salt Sea, a series of neat shouts rang out behind them.

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge animal skin, large enough to block out the sky in front of them, being pulled up by the beastmen of the Snow Moon Tribe.

The next moment, the speed of the large ship, which was originally moving slowly in the water, suddenly increased. The two sea eel tribe orcs were so engrossed in the view of the ship receding that they leaned out too far and almost fell off the ship.

"This, this, this!"

Now, the little curly-haired orc and his people all gaped open, speechless.

It was just a piece of animal hide that was raised, yet its speed increased instantly; it was simply amazing.

"My lord wizard, was this animal hide imbued with a magical power that could accelerate its growth?"

The only thing his not-so-bright little brain could come up with was magical power that couldn't be explained by fists. The little curly-haired orc stared at Wu Yue with wide eyes, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

But the handsome wizard shook his head mysteriously: "There is no magic or sorcery involved. This is just an ordinary piece of animal hide."

As for why the ship's speed increased...

She smiled at the little curly-haired orc whose eyes were becoming increasingly bright: "This is a secret of our Snowmoon tribe, and it cannot be easily told to other tribes."

Watching helplessly as the little curly-haired orc's tuft of hair on his forehead drooped listlessly, Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

I don't know what that pretty-boy orc was thinking, sending such an adorable orc warrior over here.

The curly-haired orc and his people quietly crouched in a corner of the deck.

"Captain, although the speed on this big ship has increased a lot after the animal hides are erected, it is still no match for us. If we advance in the water, we can easily surround this ship."

The orc warrior who spoke raised his chin with a hint of pride.

The curly-haired orc nodded in agreement: "That's true. So, although this big ship looks very powerful, if a real battle were to break out, those land orcs wouldn't be able to catch up with us at all."

The orcs of the Eel Tribe chattered amongst themselves, trying to calm the slight bitterness in their hearts.

However, after a few days, the orc warriors of the sea eel tribe had mixed feelings again.

Goodness, while they're moving through the water, they need to stop several times a day to hunt and eat to replenish their energy.

However, for the Snowmoon Tribe orc warriors traveling on large ships, their food was already prepared, so there was no need to stop hunting.

"Captain, I want a ship like that too!"
