Surviving in the Beast World with a System

The Healing Witch looked grimly at his tribesmen sitting in the cave. "You all saw it too..."

He swallowed, a trace of fear in his voice. "That Huaxia Witch is simply not someone the four of us can oppose. That’s a Great Witch."

The Beastmen sat silently against the wall. Of course, they knew. Those chosen for the messenger party were naturally the most exceptional members of their tribe.

They had seen the abilities the tribe’s Great Witch displayed during rituals—that kind of witchcraft, conjuring things from thin air, was something only a Great Witch could cultivate.

And in their tribe, only one person was capable of it.

"That damned Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch! It’s all her fault! We nearly offended someone we can’t afford to provoke."

The beastman captain thought of the Yan Yan Witch he’d been rolling in the hay with just before. Any trace of affection was gone, his heart filled with nothing but disgust and animosity.

The thought that his party had nearly brought disaster upon their tribe by provoking someone even their tribe couldn’t afford to offend made his rage-filled body go stiff, and a chill ran down his spine.

While Wu Yue was sleeping sprawled out in her tent, a black shadow silently passed through the Witch Power Protection Shield she had set up and slipped inside.

A black, tentacle-like thing slowly coiled around her neck, its touch ice-cold.

Wu Yue, deep in a pleasant dream, felt a chill on her neck. A sense of danger instantly made the hair on her arms stand on end, and her eyes snapped open.

Her dark eyes met a pair of crimson ones. "Holy shit!"

"What the hell, did you get pinkeye?"

Wu Yue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She picked up the System, which had transformed into a black viper, and gave it a shake. "Where are the Beast Tendons I told you to collect? You didn’t embezzle them, did you?"

The System’s small, crimson eyes looked as if they were about to tear up from the injustice. "Is this how you treat your loyal System who works for you with all its heart?"

"I worked so hard collecting Beast Tendons for you that my once bright and sparkling eyes have turned bloodshot."

Facing those completely crimson eyes, Wu Yue felt a twinge of guilt and rubbed her nose. She secretly opened the System Mall, searched for eye drops, and then redeemed the cheapest option available.

"How could I possibly not care about you!"

She took the bottle of cheap eye drops from her personal space. "See? I even redeemed some eye drops for you."

The System glanced at the eye drops in its host’s hand, and any gratitude that was about to well up in its crimson eyes was instantly doused as if by a bucket of ice water.

"Dog Host, you ass! If you’d even bothered to redeem Intermediate-grade eye drops for me, I wouldn’t be feeling like my loyalty was so horribly misplaced."

Wu Yue gave a dry laugh. "I’ve been showing off a bit too much lately, so my points are running low. Besides..."

She very seriously lifted the System’s eyelids. "It just looks like you’re tired. A drop of this System-brand potion and a good night’s sleep will fix you right up, no problem."

After the person and the System argued for a moment, the dispute ended, as always, with the System’s defeat.

After a night of ferocious killing and hunting, the deep forest finally grew quiet in the early morning.

The high-strung Beastman Warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe slept until the Super Tribe’s Beastmen returned from their hunt, only then waking up full of vigor.

"I feel like I’m finally alive again."

They hadn’t felt such abundant spiritual power in a long time.

They packed up their small tents and were about to wake their own tribesmen when they saw several of the Super Tribe Beastmen who had gone hunting returning, carrying their prey and...

several Beastman Warriors who came running back.

"Lord Witch, we found them!"

The Beastmen shouted, a hint of urgency in their voices.

The four Wizards hurried out of the cave. After examining them, they shook their heads with grave expressions.

Wu Yue stepped out of her Witch Power Protection Shield and looked at the Beastmen lying on the ground, long since silent and still. Her pupils contracted.

’These Beastmen...’

"They have Poisonous Insects inside their bodies..."

A hoarse voice suddenly spoke up. Everyone from the Super Tribe turned in unison to look at the Worm Witch.

"Did you see that Yan Yan Witch?"

The Beastman Warriors shook their heads. "We only saw the two tribesmen there. We didn’t see the Yan Yan Witch."

The beastman captain’s face turned ashen, as if he’d just realized something. "The Beastman from the Yan Yan Tribe is gone too."

So, the Yan Yan Witch hadn’t been killed at all. Instead, she had used Poisonous Insects to ambush two of the Super Tribe’s Beastman Warriors and had been rescued by that Beastman from the Yan Yan Tribe.

Wu Yue frowned. ’That Yan Yan Witch is certainly hard to kill.’

The Healing Witch stood up and looked at Wu Yue. "Lord Witch, can we set out after we eat?"

Wu Yue glanced at him. "Of course."
