Surviving in the Beast World with a System

The System peeked at its host, who was frowning and looking around, and felt incredibly guilty.

It surreptitiously opened the System Mall and checked its own little private stash.

It had gathered some herbs while following its host earlier, so it now had a small fortune of its own.

Gritting its teeth, it redeemed three masks. "Host, the Poison Witch in the air was released by that grenade explosion. It’s going to linger for a while, but we’ll be fine if we wear these masks."

Wu Yue’s face stiffened. "System, how many points do I have left?"

The masks were exquisitely crafted and looked quite sophisticated. And considering the price of that grenade...

Wu Yue felt her heart bleed.

The System fidgeted, furtively glancing at its host. "I... I used my own points to redeem these three masks. It’s my fault for throwing the grenade too close..."

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze toward her chubby System softened just a little.

She took a mask and placed it on Tayun’s face first. The moment it made contact, it began to shift and adjust automatically, molding itself perfectly to Tayun’s features.

She couldn’t help but marvel at how magical it was.

Once the human and two beasts were equipped, Wu Yue and the System hopped onto Tayun’s back.

"Host, the surrounding Single-horned Flood Dragon Beasts should have all been either blown up or poisoned to death. Should we collect the corpses?"

The System asked, trying to curry favor.

Wu Yue shot it a sideways glance. "The most important thing right now is finding Yuan Lang and his men. We don’t have time to waste here."

The System pouted. "I just think it’s a shame. Based on the corpses from the other day, Yuan Lang and his men must be hunting these Single-horned Flood Dragon Beasts."

"Maybe the Beast Tendons from this Fierce Beast are the Profound Bow Material he’s been looking for."

Wu Yue froze. A moment later, she reached down, picked up the little chubby ball, and tossed it to the ground.

The System stood on the ground, completely bewildered. ’What’s happening?’

Wu Yue bent down and patted the chubby ball’s head. "I think you’re right. It would be a real shame to let all these Single-horned Flood Dragon Beast corpses go to waste."

"So, you stay here and collect the Beast Tendons and Crystal Cores. You have your own storage space, don’t you?"

"Store them for me for now. I’ll buy you snacks when I get back."

With that said, she gave a wave and, without a backward glance, rode Tayun into the white mist and disappeared.

Leaving the poor Little Commander standing alone in the white mist, a desolate figure.

"Tayun, faster. Stop immediately if you find any trace of Beastmen."

Wu Yue said in a serious tone.

At this point, any Beastmen in this part of the deep forest could only be Yuan Lang and his group. There was no one else.

Wu Yue was certain of this because the members of the other three Great Tribes had already migrated.

"AWOO!"

Tayun roared in response and instantly accelerated.

Because of the explosion, the Fierce Beasts had all fled the area, making even the surrounding regions significantly safer.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the deep forest, a group of more than a dozen Beastmen, their bodies caked in black mud, was moving furtively through the trees.

"Careful, we’re almost out."

The Beastman’s low, magnetic voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

The Beastman Warrior on his back was breathing faintly. "Boss, put me down. You all go on ahead. The remaining Single-horned Flood Dragons will catch up soon."

Yuan Lang’s arms tightened around him. "Shut up."

With that, he quickened his pace.

Just then, the light ahead in the deep forest changed abruptly. They were all overjoyed. They were out.

"Boss, we can get out just ahead."

Yuan Lang grunted in acknowledgment. "Don’t stop once we’re out. Head straight for the cave where we rested before. I remember there are a lot of useful herbs in the woods around there."

’His clansmen’s injuries are getting worse.’

The Beastmen all acknowledged the order and quickened their pace once more.

In the deep forest marking the border between two zones, Wu Yue and Tayun had stopped beside a pitch-black mud pit.

What had made her stop was a trail of footprints leading away from the edge of the pit—Beastman footprints.

’It has to be Yuan Lang’s group.’

And the direction the footprints led in...

Wu Yue frowned as she looked. They were heading out of the forest.

"Tayun, after them!"

Perhaps because the mud on their feet had begun to dry, the tracks disappeared after a short distance.

But the direction was unmistakable. They were leaving the forest.

’So, have they already hunted enough Beast Tendons?’

The white poison mist wouldn’t dissipate for a while yet, so the System was safe. But Yuan Lang’s group...

Wu Yue’s expression changed. ’Those people from the Super Tribe are still out there!’

"Tayun, faster!"

"AWOO!"

Just then, outside a cave in the activity zone for Intermediate Fierce Beasts, the sound of flapping wings echoed.

The Wizard and Beastman Warriors, who were in the middle of a meal, looked up to see the Eagle Beastman scout who had gone out on patrol descending toward them.

"Lord Witch, there are some Beastmen in the deep forest behind us, completely caked in black, and they’re heading toward this cave."
