Surviving in the Beast World with a System

A moment later, the snoring from the cave gave way to a rustling sound. Just as she finished packing her tent, all the members of the Super Tribe emerged.

When the Healing Witch at the lead saw her finish packing her things and truly continue onward, his expression was aloof and inscrutable, his emotions impossible to discern.

Only after Wu Yue’s figure disappeared into the gloomy deep forest did the group turn their gazes to the Healing Witch in front of them.

The Messenger Beastman Captain was furious. Their Kuma Tribe was a formidable power among the Super Tribes; otherwise, they wouldn’t hold the right to select the Beastmen and Wizards of the Red Flame Plain. It took real strength to defend that privilege.

But on this journey, he had repeatedly lost face before a female witch from an unknown tribe, which left a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Lord Witch, shall we continue on?"

He looked at the silent Healing Witch ahead, his heart conflicted.

He cursed inwardly. ’That Beastman from the Scorpion Tribe really had to die at the worst possible time, getting us stuck in this incredibly dangerous deep forest.’

"We will rest here for three days. The injured will recover."

The Healing Witch’s voice was as detached and emotionless as ever, making his true intentions impossible to discern.

The Messenger Beastman Captain, however, guessed that his Lord Witch wanted to wait here for the Huaxia Witch who had entered the deep forest.

No one dared to disobey a command from the Lord Witch, so the people of the Super Tribe made camp on the spot.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue was riding on Tayun’s back, entering the gloomy territory of the High Rank Fierce Beasts.

In the previous Intermediate-rank territory, one could still hear the calls of birds. But since entering this new area, there was no sound at all, save for the RUSTLE of wind blowing through the leaves.

The sound Tayun made when it occasionally stepped on a leaf was exceptionally clear.

This unnatural stillness made Wu Yue’s skin crawl.

"This place is so eerie,"

she muttered.

The System trembled, snuggling its small body closer to its host. "So why did we have to come in here? I feel like there are tons of Fierce Beasts ambushing us, ready to pounce at any second."

Wu Yue deadpanned, "..."

’You should just shut up.’

For some reason, after the System said that, she suddenly felt as if she were in grave danger.

Tayun was fast, and they soon reached the border between the two territories.

After passing through the gloomiest section, she could gradually hear faint noises again. The dead silence was broken.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

But soon, her briefly relaxed body tensed up again, and a chill crept involuntarily up her spine.

Tayun stopped in its tracks, a continuous low growl rumbling in its throat.

"Host, I think we’ve run into some real trouble."

The System’s small, chubby body stood up. It scanned the surrounding deep forest with its dark eyes, a green light flashing in them intermittently.

Although Wu Yue’s upgraded five senses couldn’t compare to those of a Beastman, she still had a decent ability to perceive danger.

Besides, heavy breathing was closing in from all directions. There was no attempt at concealment, making it impossible for her to ignore.

"We’re surrounded."

Her expression turned grim. She couldn’t understand it. They had been so careful on their way here, even using her witch power to mask their presence. Why did it feel as if these Fierce Beasts had been specifically lying in wait for them?

They had walked right into an ambush.

"BUM BUM BA-DUM... BUM BUM BA-DUM!"

Just as Wu Yue and Tayun tensed up, preparing for battle, a surprisingly powerful blast of music erupted right next to them.

The sudden noise made both Wu Yue and Tayun jump. She felt her entire body seize up in shock.

It completely drowned out the heavy panting from their surroundings.

Wu Yue’s face darkened as she looked at the System beside her. The little guy was holding a large megaphone, the kind a vendor might use to shout prices at an open-air market, and it was from this that the music was blasting.

"What are you doing!?"

She felt a vein throbbing in her forehead. ’Is this thing an idiot?’

The System’s chubby hind legs trembled. "I thought playing some music would boost our fighting spirit! Maybe it’ll increase our chances of victory."

Wu Yue: "..."

Tayun: "..."

’This is what they mean by a liability, isn’t it?’

"ROAR!"

"ROAR! ROAR!"

A wave of roars instantly erupted throughout the surrounding deep forest. Perhaps provoked by the music, the Fierce Beasts stopped hiding and charged out from the shadows, roaring.
