Surviving in the Beast World with a System

But to their chagrin, a recent encounter with a pack of wolf-like Fierce Beasts had once again shown them just how formidable these creatures were—they could actually shoot fire from the sharp horns on their heads.

They lost several Beastman Warriors.

Most importantly, the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior who had been guiding them had also been burned to death in that battle.

Without the Scorpion Tribe Beastman to lead them, they could only feel their way forward through the deep forest.

But what made their hearts sink was that the Fierce Beasts they encountered along the way were becoming more and more powerful.

This meant they were advancing deeper into this dangerous deep forest.

But for some reason, no matter how many times they changed direction, they still found themselves slowly heading deeper in.

This caused the atmosphere in the group to become incredibly grim for a time. To make matters worse, the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch was useless, as she had never been in the deep forest before.

So...

"Think about our current situation. That Huaxia Witch might know the way out. We can’t afford to offend her right now.

Once we’re out, whatever you want to do..."

He gave the Worm Witch a meaningful look. "When the time comes, I’ll be sure to help you."

As for what kind of help that would be, it naturally went without saying.

The Worm Witch’s chest heaved violently. He shot Wu Yue several vicious glares, but ultimately, considering the bigger picture, he turned and walked into the cave.

He couldn’t stand the sight of that female; the moment he saw her, he would be reminded of his precious, dead Poisonous Insect.

"Since we’ve run into each other again, why don’t we stick together? This cave is quite large."

The Healing Witch, whose face was usually expressionless, managed a rare smile that even looked somewhat cordial.

’Cordial?’

Wu Yue sneered inwardly. ’These people are probably plotting something again.’

She urged Tayun forward, approaching the cave, but stopped a short distance from the entrance.

"You must be joking, Wizard. I killed your tribe’s Worm Witch’s Poisonous Insect; I wouldn’t dare stay in the same cave as you all.

I’m well aware of what a high-rank Poisonous Insect means to a Worm Witch."

Her cool, clear voice seemed to hold a hint of mockery.

Sensing her defensiveness and vigilance, the Healing Witch could no longer maintain his fake smile, and his face returned to its usual expressionless state.

"It was our tribe’s Worm Witch who failed to control his own Poisonous Insect. It deserved to be killed. The people of the Kuma Tribe are not vicious."

Wu Yue really wanted to laugh sarcastically in his face. ’What a bald-faced liar.’

’Like hell I believe you!’

But while she was cursing up a storm internally, she had to keep a smile on her face.

"That’s good to hear."

With those four words, Wu Yue took a Beast Skin from her back-basket and began to set up a simple tent.

The Healing Witch gave her a long, hard look before turning and returning to the cave.

He looked at the Yan Yan Witch, who was huddled in a Beastman’s embrace. "You, come here."

Suddenly being summoned, the Yan Yan Witch was filled with fear. After being struck by that female witch’s witchcraft a few days ago, she had thought she would never be able to speak again.

But to her surprise, she could make sounds again the very next day.

Because she had been so dominated by the fear of being unable to speak, the Yan Yan Witch’s throat now ached at the very mention of the two words "Huaxia Witch."

However, hunting in the deep forest these past few days had taught her that if she and the Beastman at her side ever left the Super Tribe’s group, they would never live to see the dawn.

So, no matter how much they scorned her, she still cautiously tagged along with the Super Tribe’s group.

Now that the noble Wizard had called for her, she hurriedly stood up and walked over.

The Healing Witch bent down, picked up a piece of meat that was resting on a large leaf, and handed it to the Yan Yan Witch.

The Yan Yan Witch’s eyes lit up, and her two gaunt hands began to tremble.

’Is this food for me?’

She couldn’t even remember how many days it had been since she’d last eaten her fill.

At the thought, the sound of her gulping seemed to echo throughout the entire cave.

The surrounding Super Tribe Beastmen all began to snicker.

She licked her lips, preparing to express her gratitude before taking the food back with her to eat.

But then, the Healing Witch’s indifferent voice rang out once more. "Take this food out to the Huaxia Witch outside. And while you’re at it, tell her we hope she can lead us out of here.

If she’s willing to lead us out, our tribe will provide her food for the journey, and we will also give her ten Crystal Cores as a thank-you."

The Yan Yan Witch’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Her outstretched hand trembled uncontrollably as if she had Parkinson’s, but remembering that she still had to rely on the Super Tribe, she took a deep breath and accepted the offering.

Forcing a horribly stiff smile, she said, "Yes, Wizard."
