Surviving in the Beast World with a System

With that, he proudly held up a finger. Healing Witch Power, pulsing with a potent life force, danced on its tip.

Wu Yue’s lip twitched as she glanced at the bandage on her leg.

’Right. The battle a few days ago consumed a lot of my witch power. But I’ve been constantly pursued by a Fierce Beast Group and haven’t had any time to rest. That’s why my witch power hasn’t recovered.’

’I was planning to properly recover it tonight and then heal myself.’

"Lord Witch, I’m very tempted by your offer, but I have something very important to do. I don’t have time to lead you out."

A faint smile appeared on the Healing Witch’s face. "I wonder if you’d be willing to tell us what you need to do, Huaxia Witch?"

He paused, and as the female witch opposite him looked over, he continued, "This deep forest is too dangerous. It’s never easy to be alone. Our tribe has many people; perhaps we can help you.

After you’ve finished your business, we can all leave together."

Wu Yue looked at the Healing Witch before her with a cool gaze. "I can’t tell you what I need to do, but..."

She pointed outside the cave toward an even gloomier part of the woods. "Wizard, do you know what lies in that direction?"

The Healing Witch looked up at the deep forest, so gloomy it seemed it could swallow a person whole. "I don’t."

Without the Scorpion Tribe’s Beastmen to guide them, they had completely lost their bearings. They knew they were heading in the wrong direction, traveling deeper and deeper into the forest.

"That’s the territory of this deep forest’s High Rank Fierce Beasts."

The moment she spoke, the expressions of the two people opposite her changed. The Healing Witch’s face only grew slightly more solemn, but the Yan Yan Witch’s face went completely pale.

"And where we are now is the territory of Intermediate Fierce Beasts. Of course... the deeper in you go, the higher the Rank of the Fierce Beasts.

You just said you want to get out, but you’re going in the wrong direction. If you keep going this way, you’ll only go deeper."

The Healing Witch and the members of the Super Tribe who had emerged from behind him all looked grim.

’It was just as they’d suspected. No wonder the Fierce Beasts they encountered were getting stronger. They really were heading deeper into the forest.’

"You’ve felt it yourselves. High Rank Fierce Beasts can’t be defeated with sheer numbers. Tomorrow, I’m going to continue deeper into their territory, so there’s no way I can lead you out."

"You can lead us out and then come back."

A coarse voice spoke up from behind the Healing Witch.

Wu Yue looked toward the voice and saw it was the Worm Witch, the one who had released the Poisonous Insect earlier.

She gave him a cold glance. "I’m going in to find my tribe’s members. Lead you out and then come back in... Heh..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone from the Super Tribe understood.

’The territory of the High Rank Fierce Beasts was incredibly dangerous. This witch was on a mission to save her own tribespeople.’

’If she led them out and then came back... Yeah, right...’

’What would even be the point of her returning? After so long, her people would have probably been turned into Fierce Beast dung by then.’

’If this were before, given the Kuma Tribe’s usual style, they would have already captured Wu Yue and forced her to lead the way.’

’But now...’

’They ran a hand over their faces in frustration. They really had no confidence they could capture this witch.’

Wu Yue turned back to them. "Of course... if you absolutely insist on me leading you out, you could always come deeper into the forest with me. Once I find my tribespeople, I’ll lead all of you out together."

The Healing Witch: "..."

The Worm Witch: "..."

The Super Tribe members: "..."

’Heh. Thanks, but... hard pass!’

’We already can’t get out, and she wants us to go offer ourselves up as a free meal? It’s not like we have a death wish.’

Seeing their expressions, Wu Yue knew exactly what they were thinking.

She gave them a cool glance, then tapped her witch’s wand lightly on the ground. A Witch Power Protection Shield instantly formed around her tent.

"I’m going to get some rest."

With that, she turned, stepped inside the protection shield, and slipped into her tent.

The Healing Witch frowned at the green Witch Power Protection Shield, then turned and shot the Worm Witch a meaningful look.

The Worm Witch’s gaunt cheek twitched, and he released a spider-like Poisonous Insect.

Everyone then watched as the Poisonous Insect scurried rapidly toward the protection shield.

"HISS~"

But the next second, as soon as the Poisonous Insect got close to the shield, it was as if it had been scorched by something, burning away into a pile of gray ash.

The Super Tribe members: "..."

The Healing Witch walked over to the Worm Witch, took his hand, and began to heal him. "It seems this witch from the Huaxia Tribe is truly formidable."

The Worm Witch was the strongest fighter among the four of them, yet his previously unstoppable Poisonous Insects seemed completely ineffective against this Huaxia Witch.
