Chapter 427: Chapter 361: You Must Take Care

Her gaze was unyieldingly firm. In that moment, Yuan Lang felt that the petite woman beside him, who only came up to his shoulder, was no mere female, but a powerhouse who could stand as his equal. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright, I respect your choice."

After Yuan Lang left, Wu Yue went into her tent and lay down in her nest of grass.

"Host, that little show of yours just now was actually pretty good. You looked like you were glowing, surrounded by a golden light. It nearly blinded my titanium-alloy system eyes."

Wu Yue dragged it out of her shoulder bag and began to rough it up. "What do you mean, ’spouting truths’? I’ve always been the type to shine, you know!"

A sudden silence fell over the tent.

A moment later, Wu Yue’s voice drifted out, "System, your host is about to head to the front lines. Isn’t there anything you can give me to save my hide?"

The System smoothed out its disheveled fur, which had been mauled by its Dog Host, and said ruthlessly, "If you’re not looking for a ’gift,’ then yes, I have some things."

Wu Yue: "..."

’If I wanted to spend points, why would I even bother asking you?’

’This stupid System is so inconsiderate.’

Looking at her still-substantial point balance, Wu Yue went to the System Mall and redeemed them for some useful elixirs and items.

After eating that evening, she paid another visit to the Snow Tiger Witch’s cave and, under the witch’s pained gaze, made off with a bundle of precious herbs.

Gazing at the neatly packed wicker basket, she nodded in satisfaction. "Now this is perfect."

The rest of the items were in her System Space. She could just use the basket as a cover to pull them out later.

She then called Chang Ye over to give him some instructions, said a few words to Qingcao and Aya, and returned to her little nest to sleep.

Early the next morning, the members of the Snow Tiger Tribe gathered in the clearing to see off the tribespeople heading out to drive away the Fireball Beasts.

Seeing the petite female standing among a group of tall Beastmen, the other women couldn’t help the deep worry that appeared in their eyes.

Tears even welled up in Qingcao and Aya’s eyes.

"Yue, you have to be careful out there."

"If there’s danger, just turn and run! Don’t worry about those Beastman Warriors."

The Beastman Warriors: "..."

Wu Yue: "..."

’If there’s danger, of course I’m going to run. What, am I an idiot?’

’As for the Beastmen, I’m sure the powerful Beastman Warriors can take care of themselves.’

System: "..."

’So what makes you any different from them, huh?~’

After saying goodbye to their tribe, Wu Yue sat on Yuan Lang’s back, and the group of Beastmen set off toward the Black Wolf Tribe’s territory.

Meanwhile, from two other directions, Beastman Warriors from the Flying Eagle Tribe and the Lion Tribe were also hurrying toward the Black Wolf Tribe’s territory.

The place where the Black Wolf Tribe’s Beastman Warriors had found the Fireball Beasts was, surprisingly, on the border between two tribes’ territories.

The Snow Tiger Tribe was closer than the other two, so they were the first to arrive.

Looking at the herd of ’Red Bulls’ before her, Wu Yue was reminded of a very popular energy drink from Hua Country.

She had drunk it a few times back when she used to pull all-nighters.

She’d heard from a friend that one can could keep you energized for ages, but she was the type who would be out like a light after a single can.

Red fur, sharp, dark-red curved horns... If you ignored their large, gentle, watery eyes, the Fireball Beasts’ appearance would definitely put them in the "fiery-tempered" category.

But...

Their group was standing right out in the open on the grassy field, yet the herd of ’Red Bulls’ nearby merely gave them a lazy glance before calmly lowering their heads to continue grazing.

’Talk about being unbothered, man!’

A few young Fireball Beasts seemed very curious about these creatures who looked so different from them. They came trotting over, TAP-TAP-TAP, and stared for a long time with their big, watery eyes. They occasionally scuffed their hooves, as if wanting to come closer.

Each time, an adult Fireball Beast nearby would let out a low bellow, and the little one’s half-raised hoof would immediately drop back to the ground.

It would glance back at the beastmen with great reluctance before trotting back to its parents’ side to frolic.

Watching them, Wu Yue found the scene incredibly charming.

One of the Fireball Beasts closer to them seemed to have eaten its fill. It flicked its tail, and a moment later, with a soft PLOP, a pile of dung landed not far from the beastmen.

The fresh pile of dung began to solidify in just a few moments, its color starting to grow pale.

Wu Yue was shocked. ’That dung dried way too quickly.’

A Beastman Warrior from the Black Wolf Tribe walked forward, expertly picked up the now-solid dung, and tossed it into the Beast Skin Bag he was holding.
