Surviving in the Beast World with a System

With Wu Yue’s answer, the Healing Witch’s grim expression finally eased somewhat.

’But the viciousness in her eyes wasn’t hidden in the slightest. They killed someone from our Super Tribe. Did that witch and Beastman really think they could get away that easily?’

The strength of the Super Tribe’s Beastman Warriors was a given. Especially with Yuan Lang and the others leading the way, they seemed utterly invincible as long as they didn’t encounter an entire Fierce Beast Tribe.

Watching the Super Tribe’s Beastman Warriors carve a path forward, a flicker of admiration appeared in Wu Yue’s cool eyes.

’As expected, might is right.’

’If I didn’t have the System when I transmigrated, or its help entering the deep forest this time, forget saving Yuan Lang and his men... I probably would have croaked myself.’

"Host, you’ve finally realized this System’s virtues, haven’t you? You must treat this System well from now on. Because of your slacking, only a portion of my functions are active. I’m too weak!"

Having peeked at its host’s thoughts, the System finally couldn’t resist popping up to make its presence known.

Wu Yue chuckled and pinched the tip of the black snake’s tail hard. "If you eavesdrop on my thoughts again, you can just stay as this pitch-black little snake forever."

The System nearly bristled at her words—if it had any fur to bristle with, that is.

「A few days later.」

At the entrance of the deep forest, the people of the two tribes stood facing one another.

The atmosphere wasn’t as tense as one might imagine; on the contrary, it was rather amicable.

"Lord Witch, thank you for leading us out of there. The Kuma Tribe will remember your aid. If your travels ever bring you our way, you are welcome in the Kuma Tribe."

After spending a few days together and witnessing more of the Huaxia Witch’s miraculous witchcraft, the Healing Witch grew even more fascinated by the mysterious Huaxia Tribe she described.

Wu Yue gave a faint nod. "I’ll visit if I get the chance."

’Heh, in your dreams. It was hard enough tricking you all into leaving. I’m not going back anytime soon. Here’s hoping we never meet again.’

Watching the people from the Super Tribe disappear into the distance, Wu Yue exchanged a glance with Yuan Lang and the others. "First, let’s find our people."

The Beastman Warriors nodded, their expressions grave. Earlier, while resting in the safety of a protective shield, Wu Yue had already told all the Beastman Warriors about the Super Tribe.

The hearts of the Beastman Warriors were heavy, knowing their tribe had been forced to migrate from their ancestral lands because of those people.

"KREEE!"

A piercing eagle cry echoed from above. Wu Yue and the Beastman Warriors looked up to see several giant eagles circling in the sky.

"It’s the Beastman Warriors from the Flying Eagle Tribe."

A flash of dark gold flickered in Yuan Lang’s deep eyes as he spoke.

The few Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors had clearly spotted them as well and descended in unison.

"Beastman Warriors from the Snow Tiger Tribe?"

The few Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors could hardly recognize them. While these warriors had the same white hair as the Snow Tiger Tribe’s Beastmen, the Beast Skins they wore made them look incredibly sharp.

Wu Yue stepped forward. "Didn’t your tribe migrate?"

The lead Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman’s eyes lit up in clear recognition. "Lord Wu Yue! Our tribe is migrating too, and we happen to be with the Snow Tiger Tribe.

"Our witch knew you had come to find the tribesmen who went hunting for Fierce Beasts, so she had us wait here. We were actually planning to leave in a few days if you still hadn’t shown up."

Wu Yue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank the Flying Eagle Witch. Where have the two tribes migrated to now?"

The Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warrior shook his head. "We only know their general direction; we don’t know their exact location. Everyone has been moving nonstop, afraid the Super Tribe will pursue them."

Wu Yue nodded. "Let’s leave this place first. Afterward, there’s something I need your help with."

The few Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors took to the sky again to patrol, while Wu Yue and her party ran in the direction the Snow Tiger Tribe had taken.

That night, the group found a clearing in the forest and started a fire. The savory aroma of roasting meat soon filled the air.

"The reason we made it back alive from the deep forest this time is that we met a Wizard from a Great Tribe.

"That Wizard was very mysterious. They gave us these clothes and even helped us deter the people from the Super Tribe.

"Only at the end did we learn that the mysterious Wizard was actually a Great Witch from a Super Tribe, who was just out on their travels."
