Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 138: No Crystal Core
Before the two could even act, several tall figures leaped out from the grass on the other side. It was the middle-aged Beastmen.
When the remaining Saber-toothed Pig Fierce Beasts saw delicious food serve itself up, they lost all interest in the roots on the ground. Howling, they charged forward one after another, and the great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The middle-aged Beastmen weaved and dodged. While doing their best to avoid injury, they still managed to leave cut after cut on the bodies of the adult Saber-toothed Pig Fierce Beasts.
The younger Beastmen, on the other hand, were in a more perilous situation. Although they could also injure the Fierce Beasts, they looked battered and would get hurt from time to time.
The scent of the Beastmen’s blood made the Fierce Beasts even more frenzied, and their charges grew much more powerful.
Gusts of foul, stinking wind kicked up the surrounding leaves and dust, and Wu Yue felt her vision was significantly obscured.
Their two sharp tusks were like a pair of deadly scimitars, thrusting toward the Beastmen.
As fate would have it, Teng Qian was standing directly in front of one of the pigs, which immediately locked onto him as its first target. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The man yelped and scrambled toward Yuan Lang, hands clapped over his rear, cutting a ridiculously comical figure.
Just as the Saber-toothed Pig’s tusks were about to pierce Teng Qian’s asshole, he swiftly dodged to the side.
The cumbersome Saber-toothed Pig couldn’t stop in time, and its two deadly weapons plunged straight into a thick tree trunk.
A cold light glinted in Yuan Lang’s eyes. He focused the Beast God’s Power into his right claw and slashed upward across the Saber-toothed Pig’s neck.
"SQUEAL!"
The Saber-toothed Pig only managed a short, agonized cry before a massive gash was torn open in its neck. Blood instantly sprayed from the wound.
Its savage, crimson eyes flickered for a moment before it finally, reluctantly, collapsed.
Just as Yuan Lang finished his fight, the other skirmishes around them were also drawing to a close.
"Quick, check for Crystal Cores! We need to leave this place as soon as possible."
The battle had been incredibly bloody. The foul stench of the Saber-toothed Pigs’ blood saturated this patch of the jungle and was even beginning to drift farther away.
Fierce Beasts were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood—especially the blood of other Fierce Beasts. They feared it wouldn’t be long before a large pack of them was drawn to the location.
The group quickly cut open the heads of the Saber-toothed Pigs, but to their disappointment, they still found no Crystal Cores.
By now, Yuan Lang had already leaped up into the large tree and was carrying Wu Yue back down.
Uncle Yuan Qi’s expression was grave. He waved a hand. "Let’s go. Now."
The party of Beastmen ran toward a river they had passed on their way in.
After a quick rinse in the river to wash off the foul-smelling beast blood splattered on them, the Beastmen waded across and headed for the canyon.
Yuan Lang leaned against the cave wall, his brow furrowed. "We ran into Saber-toothed Pig Fierce Beasts once before, on our way back from trading for salt. We didn’t find any Crystal Cores then, either. Is it possible that Saber-toothed Pigs just have a low chance of possessing them?"
The other Beastmen frowned at his words.
Da Shi nodded as well. "That’s right. We killed a few adult Saber-toothed Pigs last time and didn’t get any Crystal Cores."
Yuan Qi nodded. "Tomorrow, we’ll hunt a different type of Fierce Beast. This time, we’ll look for ones that are alone."
He looked at the young Beastmen in the cave. "You will go in first. Improving your strength isn’t just about raising your Beast Pattern Level. The most important thing is actual combat experience. Use this hunt as a good opportunity to practice."
